Political Notes.

A large delegation from this county
including Senator White and Assembly
man Peacock, called on the Governo
Monday evening of last week and re
Iquested the appointment Of John w
Harris Of Mount Holly. as member o
the reorganized Board of Conservation
and Development. This Board vii
have much work to do in connection
with the proposed purchase of the Whar
ton water tract and Mr.. Harris wa
suggested because he is thoroughly
familiar with the affair. If there wa
any virtue in Endorsement Mr.. Harris
was at the top but the governor declined
to name him.
| Whether Governor Fielder has beer
animated by feeling against Senato
White for some of his votes this session
is not known but it has that look as tn,
Senator does not appear to have beer
considered in many things. His VOTE
on the efficiency and economy bills anC
his aid in passing some measures owe
the Governors veto did not make the
latter feel any too friendly toward Senator
White. But the latter can stand it: he
Is not under any obligations to Fielder.
One appointment made by the Cover
nor that will be generally approved il
that putting Frank b. Jess on the State
Board OF Taxation. Mr.. less has made
study of taxino conditions and has
been valuable member of the Old
Board. In all appeals to the State
Board by the County Boards he rendered
valuable aid to those appearing before
him, always impartial, and rarely giving
decision that was not strictly in accor.
dance. with the law and common sense
on the subject. All who have had off,
cial relations with Mr.. Jess will commend
his retention on the body which has
been recognized.

Each year thousands of bushels of strawberries go to waste in the larger producing centers of the United States because of low prices or some adverse condition In many regions of the south 20 to 25 per cent of the crop is never gathered because the prices toward the end of the season are too low to justify picking the fruit. This Is great loss that should be avoided. With the tncreas- ing demand for strawberry products, such as crushed fruit, jellies, pre- serves and rnarmalades, this loss can be greatly reduced according to 8 new publication of the Department of Agriculture (F. B. 664).
 s Within the last few years some of the manufacturers of food products have been putting up fresh strawber- ries in large quantities for use at soda fountains and in. the manufacture of ice cream. This industry offers inn portant possibilities to the producer, man nufacturer and consumer. Sew era1 large manufacturers buy surplus straw berries and put them up in the field, while others ship the fruit to their home factory. One of the best methods of handling the fruit is as follows. Wash the berries thoroughly in cold water, put them into tight barrels with sugar in about equal weights, load in refrigerator cars, and ship to 8 co1d-storage plant, where they can be held until needed. Some times the berries are crushed before
 being put into the barrels but in most eases they are packed as nearly whole as possi ble. When ready for use they are taken from storage and manu- factured into. the various products. If the fruit is in good condition at the
 time it is placed in cold storage, it
 can be kept for a long time without to any great extent of losing its fla vor and fresh color.
 The keeping of strawberries under
 refrigeration is a comparatively new
 undertaking, but results that have
 been secured indicate that in time this can be made an important indus
 try. It is possible to keep the fruit in such a way that it's quality is practically unimpaired. In a single storage house 5000 barrels of crush ed sugared strawberries were held at
 a temperature between 36 and 40 de- grees F. Proper storage is an I'm | portant matter, for it will enable the i grower to dispose of his surplus crop and at the same time will provide the | consumer with a wholesome straw- | berry product throughout the year. When growers are banded together 1 into large association it often l should be possible for them to man ufacture strawberry by-products at 1 the producing center under the man j agement of the organization.
 The departments specialists in I charge of club work will be glad to
 furnish additional information on
 canning and. preserving strawberries, i especially to groups of women and
 girls who wish to take up this activity.

HUMOROUS FICTION

A leading magazine is. advertising that it wants to buy humorous fic- ton and short stories. It seems will ling to pay very Hberally.
 A work of short fiction with real hunor is an oasis in the desert Of life, and tired people reach it with joy. But most of the magazine short stories bear too plainly the marks of the machine. They seem to be writ ten by authors who have to grind out a certain literary output every week in order to support their families. It often seems much like skim milk
 The best humorous writing today is found in the newspapers. But the best huInor is not produced by sit- ting down to typewriter and under taking to grind but a daily column of sparkling paragraphs all at once. Humer is more a by-product. The man who has an eye for it finds it as he walks along the street, in the people he meets and talks with. The
