London, Dec. Unprecedented

either possibility. There is lots of

CANNING CLUB GIRLS
IN MARION COUNTY.

Arthur G. Cobb, the new secretary
of the Marion County Fair Associa-
ton, states that the fai. management
is very hopeful of having the best
fair next fall yet held in the county.
The crops this year are very fine
and no doubt will inspire the farmers
to bigger effort than ever before.
The following interview with. Mrs.
Caroline H. Moorhead, Marion Coun-
TVS canning club expert, ought to be
of much interest; Mrs. ALoorhead says
that when she first began giving dem
onstration lessons in canning the
merchants were ordering cans in lots
of 100; but soon the orders increased
to 1000 and then to as many as TO-
900 lots, and upwards, until the past
season the Marion Hardware Com
pany alone sold upwards of 100000
cans.
Cans and canning outfits were sold
by other dealers, but not in such large
quantities.
Mrs. Moorhead says that this has
been, however, hard year for the
canning industry for the reason that
the tomatoes have been Of such poor
quality, owing to the lack of potash in
the soil, or for some other reason
they have been very watery and in
ferior. Had it not been for this the
number of cans put up by the girls
canning clubs would have been much
larger in number.
But this domestic industry has been
started and is firmly established and
will rapidly devlop as the years come
and go.
Under Mrs. Moorhead's supervision
there have been ffty-four demonstra-
tons this year.
In one home, she says, there were
SIG worth of vegetables canned be.
tween 2 and o'clock one afternoon
the head of the household remarking
that it was nearly as much as he hae
received for all the vegetables he had
shipped for a week.
When all the vegetables that now
go to waste are canned and packed
away for fall and winter use, or Il
be sold to the grocer or exchanged
for other articles for domestic con
sumption there will be better living
and better times ahead.

said the officer-guide, and sped off.
This time the ground had to be COW
cred at full speed. Through low
shrubs and across rocks he led the
way. When the party halted in q
dry river bed, the trenches of the
Turks had been reached.
ALL IN GOOD HUMOR.
In the shelter of high embank-
ment rested more Turkish soldiers.
Most of them were men on fatigue.
They had been making a portable
barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT known as
Spanish horse" A few of the men
had come from the trenches for wa
ter, others for the evening meal. The
same good humor was met in their
case, though few of the men had
slept the previous night, owing to an
attack they had made on the British
in front of them.
The correspondent was received by
a captain and his sergeant, presiding
genuises of machine gun section.
Coffee was offered in a little wooden
shack which the two inhabit. The
attack on the previous night had been
severe, said the captain. The British
had thrown hand grenades, but the
Turks had occupied part of the trench
and were still holding it.

trenches this afternoon" continued
the captain. "The shrapnel fire is
too severe. Come back tomorrow"
Just before shutdown the party left
continued under shrapnel and shell
line. The artillery fire on both sides
had become more severe; machine.
guns began to be heard and the bull,
lets of one of them splashed into Z
clay bank nearby.
"One of the oldest things we have
around here is the village of Kirthia,

British trench. The party advanced
as far as this street and then de-
cided to return, instead of visiting
the Turkish positions some 1000
yards south of the last house.
There was surprise in store for
the party on the return. Just before
the danger zone was approached the
officer recommended that one man at
time cross the summit at full gal
lop. The interpreter, an Arab, went
first, the correspondent was second,
the two riding about three yards
apart. Evidently the Allied gunners
guessed that the men, half-an-hour
ago, had raced down the slope, would
return that way, and were ready.

GREAT HOLES IN GROUND.
About four in the afternoon the
first visit to the actual Sid-el-Ba
front was made by the Associated
Press correspondent. The route taken
led across a stretch of country on
which the Allied ships and land ar
tillery have thrown tens of thousands
Of shot and shrapnel. For miles the
earth is SCARED with the holes and
burrows of exploded projectiles. Frag-
ments of steel are almost as common
as rocks on a New England field.
Within few square yards one can
find parts of projectiles of every cali
bre and description-from the three
inch shells of field artillery to the
15-inch giants of the superdread-
nought Queen Elizabeth. Some of
the holes torn into the ground are
large enough to completely hide sew
eral men on horseback. Despite this
whitening fire the Ottoman troops
held their ground.
The spirit of the Turkish soldiers
in this position was excellent. The
men were resting on the ground
when the party approached. Instant
ly they were on their feet. A lusty
"merhaba" came from hundreds Of
strong threats. To an inquiry how
they felt the men replied with q
sincere: Every good sir" and smiling
faces, despite the shrapnel which
kept on coming, and the spent Allied
rifle balls which hummed above theil
i heads.
