Boston. reports about 500 out of wor.:
and the members that are working as
sessing themselves 81 a week to help
them over the dull period. Denver mem
bers are not all working, either, which
shows that the depression is general in
the United States in the cigar business.
Agent Hornburg reports that dealers
are giving more attention to the home
goods and are willing to admit that
failure in the past to give them space
in their showcases was due to outside
influences that were not interested in
the sale of Denver products.
We attended the meeting of the Den
yer Manufacturers Association Tuesday
evening and heard some very gratifying
reports from the various committees in
the interest of home industry. Also an
able address from a professor and in
structor from the Wisconsin university
on the demands of the times for er-
that perform the work of the world.
We would like to see this address in
print, for many points were brought out
that are ordinarily overlooked by both
employer and employe.

and the pay rolls which should not be
overlooked by those interested in the
welfare of this community. This sug'
gestion will be continued until we have
you convinced that your interests are
as much involved as ours.

THE CONDUCTORS LIMIT.

"When you found you didn't have

I walked or sat down on the curb"

DR.. H. N. Holifeld, cf Simp-
son county, was here yesterday
for the purpose of explaining to
our people new theory that he
has worked out with reference
to the termination and general
habits of the boil weevil, DR..
Holifield has given six years
study to this subject, and after
hearing his theory fully ex-
planned, and considering the
tests that he has made, we be-
lieve that he is on the right track
and that if his method is carried
out by the farmers, cotton grow
ing in Rankin and others coun-
ties will again come into its own
and prove profitable. His plan
of exterminating the pest is to
prevent it's termination, which,
he says, is carried through the
winter in the seed in the larvar
state. To accomplish the de-
sired result it would be necessa-
ry for every farmer in a radius
of fifty miles to plant non-in-
tested seed. On Tuesday, De-
cember 18th, the citizens of
Simpson county, who are thor
oughly convinced that DR.. Holi-
field has hit upon the right idea,
will hold a boil weevil meeting
at Magee, at which time organi-
zation will be perfected, and an
attempt made to bring the en-
tire county under the new sys-
TEN next year.

JELLY OF FINEST QUALITY
How DeIicacy Should Be Made II One
Would Have 1t at Its
Best

The canning-club specialists of the
States Relations service for the north
ern and western states recommend
that the following points be observed
to make certain that jelly will be Of
good quality.
After the fruit has been boiled and
the texture broken down it should be
poured into jelly bag and permitted
to drain for considerable time. Fore
ing the juice from the pulp win cause
cloudy jelly. When the juice has
been collected, place two teaSpoonfuls
of cold unsweetened fruit juice in two
teaspoonfuls Of grain alcohol and mix
by shaking gently. Allow It to settle
for one-half hour, preferably in n
glass tumbler. If a jelIylike sub
stance collects in the bottom of the
mixture it is evidence that pectin is
present and the juice is suitable for
jelly making. When the test shows
| absence of pectin. the white portion of
orange peel, apples or green citron
melon may be added TO the juice to
supply the necessary pectin. Twelve
ounces of sugar added to n pint of
juice viii make IA Jelly Of the proper
hrmnesS and texture. Jelly is ready
to be poured into the glasses when two
rows of drops form on the end of u
paddle or on the edge of a spoon held
sidewise.

In another moment there was a ter

the force of it. The bombproof shelter
