MEATLESS SOUPS.

Meatless soups are quite possible, ana
the beginning of all vegetable soups
is the onion, and success depends on
its being carefully cooked. Onions must
be first well Drowned in butter or
whatever fat is used. When they are
Drowned and the required vegetables
fried with them, they must be then
boiled together in water from one and
half to two hours. This in orde r
that the flavor may be thoroughly as
simulated.
Mixed Vegetable Soup.
Peel and wash three large potatoes.
slice them. together with a head Of
celery, one turnip, one large carrot and
some cabbage. or a few Brussels
sprouts. Put two ounces of butter in a
frying pan, with a small Spanish onion
sliced and some chopped parsley. Let
1t brown, then add the vegetables and
fry together for fifteen minutes Then
put all into a saucepan with two or
more pints Of water. Season with pep
per and salt and boil for one hour. Add
two tablespoonfuls of rice, let it cook
thoroughly and serve.

MR., PUTNAM GOES TO
GREENVILLE TO LIVE

The people of Abbeville county,
and esnecially the people Of the city,
where he is known, will regret to
know that Mr.. Thomas A. Putnam
is about to leave us' and return to
Greenville., Mr.. Pullman came here
soon after Mr.. W.. B. Moore took
charge Of the Abbeville Cotton Mills.
He had learned the mill business
with Mr.. Moore, who knsw the busi-
ness himself, having worked his way
through the different departments
in order to know every detail of the
business. ~.' --.'
MIR. Putnam managed our mill
successfully for several years, but
resigned sometime ago. He now goes
back to Greenville to take up his
work in the Mills Manufacturing
Company, Mr.. Moore's mill. He has
large farming interests in this coun-
ty, however, and he tells US that
when he gets rich he will return to
Abbeville and make this his home.
We hope he will. Abbeville needs
good men always. ="

the Wholesale distributor of cars In

Three sweeping changes have been
made by the company within q short
time, the initial one being the redue-
ton of prices which for the first time
made q touring car available at $3.50.
It Is nov. reported that the company
plans to make 100000 cars next

more fully realized when it is known
that the Government Census Bureau
recently announced that the total

SMALL TOWNS.

In small towns, everybody's busi-
ness is the business Of everybody
else. If there are many idle people
in the town, as there usually are,
they while away useless hours by
discussing their neighbors.
It is an established fact that he
who has something good to say about
another finds few listeners; while
he who would slander 6r retail a Bit
Of nasty scandal finds 4 host ready
to attend his words. Ht.' e., -
Any simple incident may. be seiz-
ed upon BY an idle mind and busy
tongue and magnffied Or. distorted
into, something unpleasant enough to
hold an audience Of gossip mongers.
= The world Is full Of lies. Small
towns tester with them. The lies of
today are forgotten when replaced
by the new crop Of tomorrow, and
idle gossip is like chaft which the
wind driveth away. ~.

Will Boost South
for Ideal Farming

Washington, D. c., August "a
The South will be advertised as the
ideal farming country at more than
twenty-five fairs and expositions in
the Northern States this fall by the
Southern Railway Company and at
filiated lines including the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad and the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railway.
Exhibits containing a full repre-.
sentation of the grains, grasses and
foreign crops, fruits, vegetables and
miscellaneous farm and orchard pro-
ducts of the Southern states, will be
displayed and literature abouti the
South will be distributed. A special
exhibit will be moved from place to
place where the county and district
fairs are held, but larger exhibits will
be made at Rochester, N. Y, Expo
sition, September 4-9; the New York
State Fair at Syracuse, September
11-16, and at the National Dairy
Show, Springfield, Mass, October
1921.
These fairs and expositions will be
visited by several hundred thousand
farmers of the type desired by the
South as settlers, and it is with the
view of aiding in the development OF
the territory they serve that the
Southern and affiliated lines are max
ing the exhibits, the expense OF
which will be borne entirely by them.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
BY MARY MARSHALL
January Maria Edseworth
"Ouida."


Two authors of wide but different types
OF fame were born today. Louise de la
Rance, better known under her pen name
"Ouida'-a childish pronunciation OF
Louise-and Maria Edgeworth.
Louise de la Rance was born in Eng
land in 1910 and began to write when she
was about twenty. At that time she went
to live at London with her grandmother
and mother. Her first novel. published in
1858. was Held in Bondage" Her works,
which were very popular. are of an excIt-
ing. sentimental sort
Maria Edgeworth. the other literary
birthday patron of New Years Day, was
born in 1867. and made for herself a place
among the foremost writer's OF the Eng
lish language. She was born in ireland,
and acted as her fathers assistant In the
management OF his big estate. He, too,
was a writer. and under his guidance she
put down in simple language the life OF
the peasants with whom she came into
contact as his assistant. Their work to-
gether for so many years was delightful
1t was a literary partnership which for
SO many years was the pride and Joy OF
my life." wrote her father
Miss Edgeworth was one OF the first
writer's to see in the simple life OF simple
people a chance for literary achievement.
Sir Walter Scott in the preface to wav-
erley. said that he was trying to do for
Scotland what she had done fer Ireland
and the great Russian novelist, Tur-
gueniev. said that his studies CT the peas
ants of his country were suggested by
Miss Edgeworth's books. Belinda" is
considered one of her best books.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
SIT DOWN.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

Do you sit down as much of the time
as you can:
There Is really very little real need for
the housewife to spend much time stand
ing-and it is standing that tires US most
Walking Is not half so tiresome
A young woman who could not AFFORD
to keep a servant went to housekeeping,
with her husband and two small chill
dren, with a determined idea that she
would not allow the housework to make
her Ill She was not very strong and
had lived with her husbands family un-
til this first housekeeping adventure.
So she decided that, in order not to
get tired, she would sit down to do most
OF her work. And she carried out the de-
cision with wonderful results.
She sat to dress the children, she sat
10 dress herself She sat to iron and she
sat to wash dishes, and she sat to bake
and cook OF course, she had to walk
about to dust and set the table and clear
Il; but this walking was a relief from
her hours OF sitting.
II is not possible to do many kinds of
work in an ordinary chair. But the young
housekeeper in question had two high
stools in the kitchen. They were both
fitted with rungs at a convenient dis
tance, and she put her feet on these as
she sat at work. One of them was fitted
with little back. One Of them was on
castors, and she sat on this to wash
dishes A little push would send It an
inch or so to right or left. for drying or
sorting the dishes. As she dried them
she put them on a wheeled table rolled
conveniently to the edge of the sink
She also ironed sitting on the stool
with the castors. By placing the IRON
ing board near the stove she could
change irons without leaving her high
perch. And. moreover, she usually used
an electric IRON 1t would be impossible

but from the high stool she was able to

houses and placed on the market at
lower price than would be pre-
valent in case the demand is no great
er than normal.
The housewife would be the gamer
as well as the farmer. And in view
of the fact that good JUICY. we'll
grown apple ranks among the most
wholesome of all fruit that grows
consumers generally would be bene-
fted.
So add to your slogans this last
one: "Eat an Apple Day"
Take an apple now and then as a
between meal 1t will soon become a
pleasant habit.
If you are the member of the lam
lily who plans or prepares the meals
seek out number of apple recipes,
revive some of the good old-fashion-
ed apple dishes "thst mother used to
make" and treat yourself to apple
pie, apple dumpling. apple tarts, apple
sauce, fried apples and dozen other
delicious dishes that your own imagi-
nation will suggest.
Eve one time obeyed the suggestion
to eat an apple that brought her and
her descendants into no end of
trouble, but if the daughters of Eve
follow this appeal, they will be moth
ing but good to themselves and man
kind.

saturday, January l. 1915.
This is rather a favorable day, al
though the forecast for the new year is
sinister and threatening Early today
Venus and Saturn are in benehc aspect,
while later the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury
are friendly. Uranus is adverse and Sat
urn changes to evil sway.
Women have the best leading while this
configuration lasts. There is an especial
ly promising indication for love affairs
in which the middle-aged are concerned.
1t is a rule under which to make ap-
peals for support, both financial and
moral in important matters.
Authors should benefit. They have the
prognostication of a twelve months In
which they will gather power and find
extraordinary inspiration.
Lawyers have a fortunate direction. The
future promises much activity and many
honors for members of their profession.
The outlook for peace is not encourag-
ing and the seers declare that the war
is likely to continue for two years, al
though the coming spring will bring
many overtures for arbitration.
Holland, Norway ard Sweden are like
ly to become involved in the world con-
flict and again 1t is foretold that the
Dutch people face possible conditions
similar to Belgium.
This will be a threatening month for
Germany. The death OF a high digni-
tary is predicted.
England will not find the next four
weeks favorable. Illness in the royal
family is probable. An air raid more
serious in results than any preceding one
is read in the position of Uranus.
Congress comes under a direction fore
shadowing much dissension, especially
on appropriations. Scandals and party
quarrels are to be expected.
Canada has the promise of good busi-
ness in many of its cities and a unifyins
of public spirit. Fame for an aviator
is likely to be gained soon by a deed
Of brilliant heroism
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
happy augury for the year. Money and
business affairs should be under salts
factory direction.
Children born on this day should be
successful in whatever they undertake.
Boys may be rather reckless in specula.
ton, but they will rise in life.
