Russia's Wonderful Market.

Announcement that Russia has completed
arrangements for loan of $5O,OOO,OOO In
the United States, the proceeds of which are
to be used in the purchase of equipment
and supplies in this country that are not
classified as war munitions, brings the ques-
ton of the great Russian market to the
front again. simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the loan comes statement
that the Russian government has closed
contracts with the United States manufact
urers for $4,000 tons of railroad steel,
10000 freight cars and $50 locomotives,
which will eat quite a large hole in the
$50, 100000 credit.
Because it is the greatest and richest of
all undeveloped countries, and is just enter
ing the era of its greatest development
Russia will be the most profitable foreign
market of the world during the next fifty
years 1t will excel all South American
countries combined. Because of the con-
sistent friendship of the Russian govern
ment for the United States, even in the face
of insults offered her in the form of repudi-
ated treaties and abrogated commercial
agreements, coupled with a very high re-
gard for the United States that prevails
among all classes of Russian people, this
country is in an especially advantageous
position to profit by Russias coming devel-
epment.
The war has changed all this. If the
United States will only accept the friendly
overtures made by Russia, if the American
manufacturers and exporters will only meet
the Russians half way, the lions share of
Russia's trade can be secured for the
United States. It offers not only the
largest market in the world for almost
every conceivable manufactured product
and much raw material, but it offers to the
United States the market with the least re-
sstance The consummation of a $5O,OOO,-
900 Russian credit in the country should
be but the beginning of long and mutually
profitable and friendly commercial inter
\ course between the two largest nations Of
the world.

The Party Convention.
From the Triton Gazette.

The convention which met at Albany to
confirm the nomination of Congressman
Park for reelection was the first held by
the democrats of this district since James
M. Griggs was nominated for his first term
in 1896, or just twenty years ago.
AS the people selected their candidate
for the party at the primary it was not
considered necessary to hold convention,
and the nomination was made either by the
executive committee, consisting OF one
member from each county of the district,
meeting and consolidating the vote or the
returns were forwarded from the county
executive committees of each county to the
district chairman, who declared the result.
1t was decided at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee in Albany july 3 to ar
range for the primary to return to the con-
vention method The duties of the exeeu-
tive committee being almost entirely form
al, attendance dropped until much difficulty
was experienced in securing quorum. 1t
was thought that a party convention would
create more enthusiasm, and, being IN the
nature of rally of the friends of the sue
cessful candidate, would put little more
ginger, so to speak, into things throughout
the district.
The result appears to have more than
justified the expectations of the committee.
1t was reported as one of the most optlmls-
tic and enthusiastic party gatherings held
in the district for many years; those aCCenu-
ing were entertained at dinner by the nom
inee and the affair turned into political
love feast for the candidate and his friends.
This is as it should be, and we have perhaps
seen the return of the congressional con-
vention to stay.
The convention brings to the writer
memories that are fast growing hallowed,
because they deal so largely with the dead;
The convention twenty years ago was held
at Camilla and the auditorium and CORR
doris of the court house were filled with a
gathering of the supporters of Jim Griggs
which overfowed into the yard Griggs
was a young man then with the brilliant
success of his life as well as it's hardest
years of public service before him. His
address to the convention was masterpiece
of practical, straight speaking, by an earn
est man with the courage of his convlc-
tions. Twelve years in congress amply
justified the confidence of his friends and
supporters.

'There was time in the state of Geor-
gia," says the cambridge Democrat, "when
the Big Boss would pass the word along to
the henchman, who would Immediately line
up the docile populace, the said populace
lining up not because of their convictions,
but because the kings mandate must be
obeyed." But these good old days" as
our contemporary remarks, are very much
of the picturesque past, The Big Boys can
shout their tongues out without stirring up
anything more than a harvest of grins.

Darkness and Dawn.

Dawson has developed poet in Emmette
Riordan, who seems to be getting consider
able notice throughout the state The Ma
con Telegraph and the Atlanta Georgian
have already accepted several of his poems.
One of his latest is here from the Tele-
graph of last Monday:
When the sunbeams are departing,
Swallowed up by gloomy night,
And the shadows all seem darling
To catch the waning beams of light
When the shades are softly sliding,
Meath the trees within the thickets,
And the moonbeams all seem gliding
To the music of the crickets;
Or the hungry cry of the night-hawk,
Circling slowly overhead;
Seems to signify Ma Natures
Tucked her children safe in bed
And the countryside lies sleeping
In the soft glow of the light
That Endemion's lovers throwing
On the curtain of the night.
Does the saddest thoughts of sages,
That have come down through the years
Fill your mind till life's fair pages
Seem to glisten white with tears?
Does the sun seem gone forever,
Sunk to depths of deep despair,
And it seems you cannot sever
From world of grief and care?
There's no time to think of sorrows
Overshadowed by the night,
But to think of joys one borrows
From the following mornings light.
We might think of newborn morning
With its promise of the East
Till Aurora's lamp seems dawning
And our cares and sighs have ceased.
When the world is filled with glory
That the Lord throws from on high,
And the colors of the violets
Tint the mirror of the sky.
Dawson, Ga. JOHN +. RlORDAN.

One of the Worst Laws.
From the cambridge Democrat.

The Georgia legislature managed to pass
367 laws during the past session, some
good, some Indifferent and some bad, but in
any event too many
And one of the worst laws they managed
to put over on the public was to make 1t
lawful to shoot doves between August LIST
and September LIST. This law is said to have
been passed at the instance of up-staters,
who have large droves of doves in their
wheat fields during the month of August
It seems that our Legislators should know
something of the value of birds after all
that has been said on the subject, but it APP
nears to have gone in one ear and out the
other. Perhaps they don't "ignor-
ant and illiterate backswoodsmen," as they
have been called-that doves are still nest
ing during August, and it is crime to
shoot them
Observing farmers, however, have come
to the conclusion that the dove is good
ally, and they are not going to see them
killed in wholesale numbers, as in the past.

Well Done.

At the recent convention of the Second
congressional district Hon. H. M. Mcintosh
declined to accept reelection as chairman
of the executive committee, to the genuine
regret of the delegates present and the peO-
pie of the district generally. If we re-
member correctly, Editor Mcintosh became
chairman of the Second district convention
when the lamented Griggs was nominated
for his first time in congress, and served
continually until his voluntary retirement
a few days ago. During all these years he
served the party ably and unselfshly, and
although as editor of the Albany Herald he
has been in the thick of every campaign,
some of them unusually heated, he retires
with universal esteem and confidence. In
these days of partisan rancor and preju-
dice very few could have done so, and we
our friend and neighbor.

Memoir OF Richard H. Insley
(By his friend, Rev. T. Howard
Innns Great Rarrin etQr Mass

(By his friend, Rev. T. Howard
Jones, Great harrington, Mass.)
The departure from lower Dor
chester, December 7th, 1915, of
Richard H. Insley, marks the end of
an extraordinary life. For sixty
nine years he lived with us, and the
longer we knew him the more we
honored him. In brain and Drawn
and soul he was a strong man. Or
fine personal appearance, tall ana
sturdy, with a kindly face, he COM
manded attention anywhere. He was
a born leader; he never followed.
Again and again, as I looked upon
his face and form,I recalled the wis
dom of Cicero: with more aged
men life would itself be better and
more wise. For there is intelligence
and reason and wisdom in the old.
Had there been none of these there
scarcely could have been common
wealths" Indeed, he was one of the
first citizens of the State. Today l
feel dazed to think that away at his
distant home they have buried him;
to think of him lying under the
snow in his grave, cold and dead.
Yet, with Emerson, l am convinced,
that
"In the mud and scum of things,
There always, always something
sings"
So this morning, as l look out up
on the earth, l see better world, l
breathe a healthier atmosphere, l
work in a holier church, l live lar
ger, nobler life. l rejoice, because
he, being dead, yet speaketh. He
was a self-reliant man. He never
leaned upon others. With his own
hands, like the old pioneers, he
blazed his own path and carried his
own burden. For the trailer, and

"COLD PACK" CANNING
Most Satisfactory Method of Pack
ing Fruits And Vegetables in Their
Natural State.

The five different methods of can
ming foodstuffs most commonly used
may be classified as roIIows:
Cd The open kettle, or hot-pack
method; (2) the intermittent, or
Observation-Disclosures method; 60
the cold-water method; (4) the cold
pack single period method, and go
the vacuum-seal method
The most popular method and the
one recommended by specialists in
charge of club work in the depart
ment is known as the "cold-pack."
This simply means that the products
are packed cold in their fresh and
natural state in the glass jars or con-
tainerS. To the fruits, hot sirup is
applied; to the vegetables and green's,
hot water and little salt for sea-
soning is added. Then the steri1iza-
ton is done in the jars or containers,
after they are partially or entirely
sealed, making it practically impos-
sible for bacteria or spores to enter
after the product has once been care
fully sterilized or cooked In fol-
lowing this method vegetables
should first be blanched in boiling
water or live steam, then quickly
dipped into cold water, the skins re-
moved and the products cut into suit
able sized pieces. The products are
then packed in containers and stere-
lized. Leaflets N. R. %, "a, 28, 50,
"a and 81 of the department contain
detailed instructions and recipes.
By this 'cold-pack" or cold-fill
method Of canning, many food pro-
ducts can be successfully sterilized
in a single period with but one hand
ling of the product in and out of the
processing vessel. The recipes re-
ferred to apply equally well to
homemade outfits as to the several
types of commercial sterilizers. Prac-
tically every type of fruit jar manu-
factured can be successfully handled
in connection with this method.

He had nothing but contempt for the
lazy. His self-reliance was no kin to
deceit. His was high, noble, unset
fish individual independence. The
years were brimful of fine energy.
Like Hezekiah, And every work
that he began, he did it with all his
heart, and prospered." He diligent-
ly sowed the seed of industry, tact,
perseverance, honesty and toll, and
joyously and splendidly did he reap
and continue to reap a golden har-
vest.
Henry Ward Beecher once said,
"The whole air is full of gold dust,
and men see everything through its

Richard Insley. He realized that

in material things his interest was
great, yet in spiritual things his life
reached it's zenith. His fearless
frankness made him an ardent soul
in the supernatural world. 1t can
ever be said of him, he was heavenly
minded. Intellectually, with Kepler,
b made paths to the stars, and be-
yond them, for he thought the thou
ghts of God. The under current of
his spiritual development was the
atonement of the Divine Christ. AS
reborn soul, as an eXhorter, as
Sunday School superintendent, as
class leader, and in our quiet talks,
his constant theme was the blood of
Jesus. The fire of the Lord burned
continually within him, even when
his body was weary and worn. Like
his Lord, he loved the church, and
gave his money, his time, his influ-
ence, his talents, his prayers, his
life for it. Was there ever a minis
ter, who knew brother Insley, and
did not love him? His warm hand,
broad smile, and big heart, and his
fervent prayers, and his open door,
captured the heart of every lover of
God. His earthly home conformed
to the pattern of God, given to Israel
in the mount.
Early in life he wooeu ana won a
queenly woman to be his wife. She
possessed a clear mind, devout
heart, a pure spirit, and exerted a
wonderful, sweet, blessed influence
upon the life of her husband. The
life of each made wholesome con-
tribution to the life of the other.
How exquisite the picture! Two
young, ardent lovers, plighting their
troth each to the other, and erecting
new home altar, upon which holy
fires glowed. For more than forty
years they loved and served each
other, and their Lord and their
Lords people. An inexpressable
sadness covers me as think of sis
ter Insley, sitting in the shadows of
bereavement, with eyes dimmed with
tears, and who will long feel the
pain of the loss of her great heart!
