cuniary profit, and | think so still
In taking issue with a vast ma
jority of his colleagues and the vast
majority of American people, who
not only think, but know that we
went to war in defense of our honor,
and the rights of our citizens and to
avenge wrongs and insults that had
become unbearable, if the Senator
did so in the role of a statesman
then the language quoted from his
address before the Legislature might
be used to clothe the interview with
patriotism. But in a great crisis
like this, when every patriotic citizen
should be giving his wholehearted
support to the government, where
does patriotism cease and statesman
ship commence?
Il am of the opinion that the Jun
ior Senator will find. if he has not
already found, that Mississippians
thing that craftsmanship and patriot
ism are very nearly synonymous in
such times as these, and that if a
mans statesmaship and patriotism
will not mix, then he would do wen
to lay aside his craftsmanship for a
while.

getting his craftsmanship in a sort

Mr.. Harrison declared to be utter
ly without foundation the oft-repeat-
ed statement to the effect that the
American Steel Company and other
gigantic corporations were largely
responsible for the interest Of the
United States into the great world
wide war, the greed of these corpo-
rations having prompted them to
bring influences to bear which result
ed in the severance of diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. "These cor
porations," declared Mr.. Harrison,
"are no more responsible for the en-
trance of the United States into the
war than they are for the sinking of
the Lusitania, or for other equally
atrocious outrages committed by the
Teutons. The United States entered
the war not only to prevent repeti-
ton of these and similar outrages,
but to protect her people and to guar

"The outrages perpetrated by the
Kaiser's forces are sufficient to

Cabbage Aplenty
Make SOur-Kraut

Many vegetables may be kept for
p long time by packing in SALT There
Is an extra abundance of cabbage in
the markets now and it is being sold
ht prices amazingly low. This is the
time to make barrel of saur-kraut,
which even now Is selling in the
cities at twelve cents a pound, while a
few heads of cabbage, some fine salt,
barrel, and some ambition, will give
you several pounds of saur-kraut for
the price of one as sold in the shops.
In making -kraut get barrel, q
bushel or more of salt, a large guam
tity of cabbage, several hundred head,
and cabbage cutter; the last may be
bought or home made. 1t slices the
vegetable better and finer and saves
the work of cutting the cabbage fine
with knives.
Cut the cabbage fine, place In a bar

bages is packed down hard in barrel
and then weighted heavily or some OF
the contents will be outside of the
container and your hard work will be
in vain.

Influence Of the rImaa.

Literary modes are like the modes
of fashion. True. literature repre-
sents the great issues occupying the
minds of the people. Not always,
however, does 1t so represent the In
terests Of the age; for example, the
romanticlsm of the period following
the French revolution and periods of
the same kind In ancient times, says
the Columbia State. The Greek thought
produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had
something to do with 1t himself. The
followers Of Aristotle followed the ex-
ample Of great man. Such fashions
have at all times been characteristic
of literature. Or take the present age.
Is the literature of the age dictated by
a zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one as
sert that 1t Is so. With the war, how
ever, there came In new interests and
dangers which have affected man. The
condition was made by man and one
assertion by someone brings down an
other so that while, f1guratively, the
times may be said to be speaking. the
men are simply following fashion.
If zeitgeist is important In determining
thought. the spirit surely was for dis
armament and peace, for such was the
spirit Of leaders Of thought. However
other individuals thinking otherwise
had larger followings and the political
power to WELD that influence, and the
war was the result.

With the ripening of fruits and the
harvesting of early vegetables, the
canning factories all over the country
began the work of making jellles
preserves and canning these products
in various ways. Now, the work In
many factories has come to stand
still for lack of glass Jars. bottles. and
cups. Many had already sold their
stock and promised all their goods
either to the Government or to ex-
porters, intending to make shipments
of these canned fruits and vegetables
to foreign countries. The Govern
ment intends to take good care of Its
'Sammies'' first and the trades
people and civilian population must
take care of themselves. In order
that each family may be sure of q
good supply of food next year, the
housekeepers, rich and poor, must
gather In all they can raise or buy.
There is not only great demand
for canned goods for the troops we
are sending abroad, but the shortage
of crops all over the world is drain
ing our supplies. The starving and
fighting hordes in Europe are calling
to us for help and in the name OF
humanity no man, ssoman or child in
America can refuse to listen to the
cry from abroad and not respond to
the call.
In order that the afflicted may be
helped, the Nation preserved, as a
whole and the individual families
saved from distress and want, the
women and men, too, must conserve
every kind of food product.
Let nothing waste.
There are several ways of doing
this, they may be canned, preserved,
dried or salted.
For home canning. two methods of
procedure are in general use: (D
Cooking in a saucepan and then
tranferring the articles to sterilized
cans and (2) cooking the product in
the jar in which it is to be stored.
Bulky foods, like spinach and beet
greens, hard fruits like apples and
ounces, and food in which there Is
considerable waste, as beets, are
canned moro easily IL the process Is
begun, at least. in saucepan. Ber-
ries, peaches. pears. peas, asparagus,
carrots, tomatoes, and string beans
retain their favor better IL canned
in the receptacle in which they are
stored. (Cold pack).
Saucepan Canning
When canning with a saucepan
the food, prepared as when to be
cooked for the table, Is cooked until
tender. Some time before the food Is
set to cook. the jars. covers and all
utensils Gas spoons. ladle, etc.) that
are to be used. are set in a saucepan
OF cold water on the bottom of which
is a rack of many folds of clean
cloth; the jars are filled with water.

FAMOUS SEA NAMES REVIVED
fechrlstenlna Of Seized German ves-
sells Recalls Ships That Brought
Glory to Merchant Marine.

The shipping board has adopted the
puggestion that the sailing vessels
among the German refugee ships
which the government took over as a
war measure be given names from the
list Of famous vessels of the clipper
ship era. These ships, barks and
echooners were seized on the Pacific
coast. Five OF them, now put in sery-
tce, are renamed Northern Light Red
Jacket, Game Cock, Flying Cloud and
Dreadnaught.
Those old ships made the American
merchant marine famous In the period
preceding the Civil war. The German
vessels are probably nothing like them
IN appearance, and could not match
such winged witches as the Red
Jacket, Flying Cloud and others in a
race around the Horn, or between New
York and Liverpool. However, fiying
the American flag, commanded by
american shippers and manned by
American crews-for the most mart
very likely, not directly descended
from the old Yankee stock that ruled
the seas in the clipper days-the Stein
bek, Dalbek. Winner, Ottawa and Kurt
will try to live up to their new names. =
It is too bad If. as appears FROM the
spelling In the dispatch from Washing
ton, the shipping board has followed
the navy department IL spelling
I"dreadnaught" with an "a" Instead of
an Co. Secretary Daniels &aade that
change soon all - Became the civil
lord Of the fleet. In the common mean
ing, the dictionary may prefer dread
naught" to "dreadnought," though both
are perfectly good usage. But there is
mo warrant at all for the former SPELL
ing in the only sense in which a secre-
tary Of the navy has official use for the
term.
The British bat.ssship, the original
tty Of which gave the name to this type
of naval architecture, was the Dread
hought, and except by our navy depart
ment that is always the spelling when
the type is referred to. As for the IA
NOUS old clipper ship her name, en-
phatically, was Dreadnought. In a free
country anybody may spell to suit him
self. But to call that German ship
"Dreadnaught" is not remaining her
for the historic American clipper. II
is simply confirming photographed die
