From Arcadia Heights.

Since our last letter to the REGISTER
we have had very warm and dry
weather. Corn has been standing the
weather remarkably well, but unless
we have plenty of rain through
August, the corn crops in this valley
will be almost failure. Gardens are
already ruined, and pastures are
burning up from want of moisture.
Hicks promises us much rain
through August. We hope he is
right, and that ground soaking rains
may soon visit this locality, which ap-
pears to be suffering more than any
other part of this county.
The Baptist Assembly will convene
here Tuesday, August Sth, and as the
Baptist people believe in much water,
it is to be hoped that their coming to-

ply will, in every respect, far excel
anything of the kind ever before held
in Arcadia Valley. Watch and see!
Work along all lines that will help to
make the coming Assembly a record
breaker, is being rapidly pushed to a
finish.

TO CONTRIBUTE BOOKS
FOR THE REST ROOM.

Now that the Y. W. C. A. rest
room in the Masonic Temple is an as
sured fact, many plans are being
made by those who are interested,
to add to the attractiveness of the
rooms designed for the pleasure and
comfort of the women of Pensacola,
and as books always give to any cen
tire for women a charm of their own,
the committee in charge of the Rest
Room have decided to ask those who
attend the reception on Tuesday, and
particularly the members of the as
ISOLATION, to bring with them some
suitable book, in order that reading
matter may be added to the other at
fractions which will be furnished.
Most of US have some volume which
we have enjoyed ourselves, and would
gladly pass on to others. Here will
be found a way to put these books
into a circulation in a most helpful
way.
Mrs. J. B. McNeill, president of the
Y. w. c. A, said yesterday after
noon:
There viii be no charge of any
kind for the services of the rest room
Only nominal charge win be made
for lunches, in order that fund may
be raised for the support of the
movement. But for the rest room
itself there will be no charge of any
kind, and it will be open to the
women Of Pensacola, who will FIND
there rest and refreshmene at al
| times of the day."
The reception Of Tuesday will b,
from five to seven in the evening.

EXPERIENCE WITH A
SMALL HOME GAMER.

I have grown so used to the con-
venience of the Gamer that we never
store ours away. It is kept where 1t
can be set down for use readily, and
there are very few times when a
month goes past without calling It
into requisition for some purpose or
other. In hot weather we set it under
a tree in the back yard, and in winter
it stands in the open hall.
We use the Gaping steel to melt
off the caps when we open the cans,
which are then washed, dried thor
oughly and stored where they will
not rust. We use them a second and
even third time, thus making the
cost of the cans very hght-less, IN
fact, than it costs to keep new rings
and lids for glass jars. l still use
the glass for putting up pickles in
vinegar, for times when have only
three or four cans to fill, and for
other odds and ends. But we see much
difference in the flavor of products
put up in the new way, as none is lost
during the process of cooking. An
added advantage Of the Gamer is
that all the family can help and a
greater amount can be put up IN a
day. The tin cans also store in much
less room, may be moved about with
out danger of breakage, and if prop
erly sealed cause no loss from mold
or broken rings, as often happens
with glass jars.
1 remember reading somewhere
that little Western girl had found
ninety-nine different products to be
put up with home Gamer. We
find it a paying thing with one-tenra
that number or even less. We do not
can to sell at all, though when we
have a surplus we always find ready
sale. But It certainly adds much t.
