MANY USES FOR MINT
VARIETY OF WAYS In WHICH "
MAY BE EMPLOYED.
Valuable as a Flavoring, Where 1t 10
Not Desired In Quantity-As q :.
Sherbet-Proper Method
of Drying. :, =.

Mint in Soups, Salads and Vegeta-.
bles.-Cucumber salad, or an apple
and celery salad, is greatly improved
by a sprinkle Of fine, chopped mint
leaves. Just a suspicion of mint with
cooked peas, or cream Of pea or po-
tato soup, is a great addition to a lamp
or veal salad.
Mint Jelly.-This Is also an approved
accompaniment for lamb or mutton.
To make it pour pint of boiling wa
ter over a bunch Of fresh bruised mint
leaves and simmer gently ten or III.
teen minutes; strain, and to pint Oh
the hot liquid allow one package OF
currant, lemon or any OF the qdlcK
process acid jellies or half package
OF gelatin soaked half an hour IN cold
water to dissolve; add sugar to sweet
en- and lemon juice to make acid as
desired. Stir until thoroughly dis
solved, then set away to cool. AS IL
begins to stiffen stir in two table
spoonfuls Of capers, pour into one
good-sized mold or tiny individual
ones and set away to harden. When
cold and firm turn out and garnlsn
with tiny sprigs of fresh mint.
Mint Vinegar.-Put crushed MINT
leaves in a wide-mouthed bottle, then
fill up with good cider vinegar. IN
three weeks pour off clear into another
bottle. This is fine for favoring pur-
poses when fresh mint cannot be had
and almost a sure cure for headache
when bound upon the forehead.
Currant-Mint Sauce for Game.-Sep-
arate a glass of currant jelly into
pieces, but DO not break; add two ia
blespoons of fine chopped mint leaves
and the thin shaVings from the yeiio"
rind of half orange.
Mint Sherbet.-Bruise heaping cup
o. mint leaves slightly, pour over them
a pint of boiling water and steep, COW
cred, for 20 minutes. Add a cup OF
sugar and the grated yellow rind or
the juice Of lemon, cover again and
leave until cold. Strain and pour into
the freezer can, pack with equal guam
titles of salt and ice and freeze to
mushlike consistency. Scrape off the
sides and dasher and cover until ready
to serve. For state occasions this same
sherbet may be enriched by adding the
Juice of three oranges, the same
amount of pineapple juice and when
half frozen the whites of two eggs
beaten stiff. A wineglass of any pre-
ferred wine may also be added If de-
sired.
In Drying Mint.-ln drying any OF

room. When quite dry put into paper

pieces the size of ones hand, cast
them all over the carpet, then sweep
and most of the dust in the room, If

Ry Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed In
Virginia today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city prob. ems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching In
vestigation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derst3od and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school ale a trinity of powerful In
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in public
affairs. These gigantic agencies ar.
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO.
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community:
Every farmer in Virginia sfoul
subscribe for the local paper, as vel
as farm periodicals and such othe
publications as he may find profitable
but he should, by all means, subscribe
for his local paper, and no homt
should be without it. The local pape
is part of the community life and The
editor understands the farmers prob
ems. 1t is the local press that VII!
.tudy the local problems and throug
its columns deal with subjects of mos
vital Importance to local life OF the
community.

Menace To Liberty

"Maine and Kansas present a
fair example of what prohibition
produces, as shown by the Stats
tics Ct the Internal Revenue De
pal tment of the United States
Government, from what can be
seen the record of an unbroken
failure to prohibit the illicit sale
under the laws of those States.
Prohibition is menace to indi-
vidual liberty and forces upon the
majority in localities some
thing that they do not desire, and
it is folly to try to coerce the per-
sonal habits of those who are tenn
perate. ~ W. F. KOONTZ, Cash
Ter Band of Shenandoah, Shenan-
doah, Page County.
Prohibition Causes Discord.
"Why try a thing that has been
tried many times in the past, and
has proven a failure. Because it
defeats local option, Because it
will bring great political confu-
sion in the State. Because it will
make more disease and lnnacy in
the State. - M. S. GARRISON,
physician, Front Royal, Warren
County.
Present Law Most Effective,
"Virginia now has upon her
statute books the best and most
effective liquor law in the United
States. Liquor is now sold only IN
a lew large towns, and if those
opposed wish to get rid OF it they
can do so under our present liquor
laws.
"Where sold in Virginia it is
done under strict regulation; no
side doors to saloons, no minors
or known drunkards can get It,
and hours for selling and closing
are also regulated. ~.

and enlarged possibilities for useful.
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the fral*
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling it;
columns with the echoes of the strug
.,les of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
90 often the pages of the city dailieF
)ristle with the struggle Of ambitious
ren in their wild lust for power, AM
many times the flames Of persona
conflict scar the tender buds of ner
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
IS the governing power of public sent
~ment and must hold steadfast t.
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
sural press can best serve the inter
ssts Of the farmers by applying it,
energies to the solution Of problems
affecting the local community. Ii
must stem the mighty life curren;
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before 1t thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems o.
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
ticiency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
&c the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural class
es within it's respective community.
The Power of Advertising.
The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits Of
the farmers, and the advertising col:
umns of the press, are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people
There are ten pianos in farm homes
there there is one bath TUB; auto
,obiles are more popular than tele-
,hones, and more homes are supplied
with patent medicine than with screen
doors. The farme, possesses the
things that are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life. We need more art, sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are we'll balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns Of
the rural press.
