In view of the fact that the harvest

WHAT THEY SAID
Brief Extract from Editors of Ark
ansas Regarding Sprinedale

Early Thursday morning, the
freight tram to which our coaches
had been attached was abandoned,
and we left Fayetteville for Spring
dale in a special train provided by the
Frisco, and we enjoyed this transpor-
tatlon equipment until the trip ended
Saturday night At Springdale we
were met by delegation Of citizens
and more than seventy-fiye autos and
were taken on a drive of more than
thirty miles through the great or
ehards, vineyards and berry fiesds
for which this section is famous. The
apple orchards average fifty trees to
the acre and the mature trees yield
from eighteen to twenty-five bushels
each. Seventy-fve cents per bushel
at harvest time is the average price
received The orchards We're in splen-
did condition and the only apprehen-
sion apparent was probable car
shortage at shipping time. Return
ing to Springdale, we unloaded at the
City Park where we were served the
most delicious berries and cream
This was the first real berry feast of
the trip, the fruit was of rare favor
not possessed by the shipped-in arti-
Gle and many of the party tarred un
til lively sprint for the departing
train was necessary.-Monroe County

CANNING CLUB AND HOME DEMONSTRATION DEPARTMENT
Edited by Caroline Moorhead, Agent

of broad and brilliant mind, gentle,
kind and sympathetic, yet possessing
that degree of frmness that her po-
sition demands.
The only regret (and that a big
one) of the demonstration agent was
that she could not give every single
canning club girl prize this year.
They have all done their best under
trying conditions. The one good con-
ISOLATION land that also a big one) was
the perfectly lovely disposition on the
part of the girls, each one so appre-
ciative of what had been done for
them.
We extend thanks to every one who
in any way helped to make the can
! ming club contest day of pleasure
to the fair association and others for
prizes, and other eourtesies, and to
each and every one who contributed
to the day for the girls many way,
we are most grateful.
Alma Priest, oldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Lee Priest, is the proud
possessor of beautiful wrist watch,
she being the winner of the first
prize in the Marion county canning
club work. Alma came second two
years ago, winning handsome can
ner which she has used in her work
since then. There are three sisters
in the Priest home, Alma, Mabel and
Anna. Mabel cane fourth in line this
year, and if Anna had been within the
age limit to compete she would have
given her sisters close chase. Or
account of her extreme youth she has
been kept in another class, but next
year watch out for Anna-she is nov
a club member in full regulation.

in the canning club department dur

These are the first five members
of the honor roll The other five will
be given next week. The girls all did
nicely. They worked against greater
odds than during any previous year.
War conditions have affected them as
they have every other industry. We
are now organizing for another years
work in which we hope to record bet
ter and more work, and especially do
we want to have our county the best
organized county in the state.
Miss Sarah w Partridge, who is
southern district agent for canning
club and home demonstration work of
Florida, spent one morning with US
during fair week. Her visit at this
time was especially to see what the
Marion county canning club girls
were doing, who would be prize win
ners and what records were made.
She regretted not being able to stay
over till the next day, which was club
day and would have given her an OPP
portunity of meeting at least the
greater part of Marion club mem
bers. But as another club contest

to make her stay with US limited

% When the war department took the
triotous soldiers of the oath regiment
off TO San Antonio, there was much
kicking in the newspapers, said news
papers saying the move was made to
shield the soldiers from civilian JUS
tice. About the only thing civilian
Justice would have done in this case
would have been to lynch the men
wholesale, the guilty with the inno--
cent. The riotous soldiers were tried
at Fort Sam Houston by army officers
and Tuesday morning thirteen of the
most guilty were hung. Forty-one
were sentenced to life Imprisonment,
and nine to shorter terms. Civilian
Justice in this country has never
handled such large contract so
promptly and efficiently.

ing the recent fair was that Of the
substitute breads, otherwise describ-
ed as the $3.50 or war breads. Many
people stopped to look and finally to
more closely examine and taste such
bread as were made with substitutes
of the soy bean, sweet potato and
peanut flour. The soy bean attracted
much attention because of its rich
creamy quality, excellent in 1aste and
texture. We are indebted % Mr.. c..
P. Howell for the beans from which
this bread was made It was very
much liked by those who tried it. As
to whether the soy bean Is a practi-
cal substitute depends on how well
and at how little expense they can BE-
raised in our county. The sweet po-
tato bread was divided in two classes,
one a plain loaf of rich creamy breao
with soft texture and tender crust,
the other slightly sweetened Ga bit of
Florida SYRUP and few pieces of
fruit, which made a splendid coffee
cake. The peanut bread on this oc>
casion was made with $3.50 portions
of meal from peanut ground hull and
peanut together; of course, sitting
out the, coarse bits. This naturally
made rather dark bread, but IT had
| a good nutty flavor and was much
| liked. A number of ladies on seeing
this bread and the meal from which
it was made said they would use it II
fruit cake, as it furnished nuts anC
coloring combined. The subject o.
break making and the various substi
tutes is matter of great Importance
especially since the shortage in oul
sweet potato crop is great.

Some folks sneeringly ask why
Mayor Chace's majority was not
larger. 1t is not to the credit of
Ocala that it was not larger Some
good citizens voted against DIR. Chace,
and we have no doubt that they
thought they had good reason for do
ing so. But solidly against him was
the disconnected element, the dis
loyal element, the whisky element,
the west end element and the pur-
chasable element. A combination of
these elements in almost any other
town would win, but in Ocala, even
when all were pulling together, they
were in the minority.
