EROWN URGES INCREASED
CONSERVATION OF FOOD BY
CANNING AND PRESERVING

ATLANTA, Ga. April 20-Dont neg
meet the canning clubs and home can
ming plants, is the advice being given
this week by Commissioner of Agri-
culture J. J. Brown. He says: "A
great deal of relief in whatever food
crisis confronts us may be had by
putting up canned foodstuffs. In the
garden planting attention should be
given to those things which will be
available for canning. Just what to
can. and how to can it, SO it will keep,
has been carefully and thoroughly
worked out by the State College of Ag-
riculture, and the college will gladly
give the people of the state any
needed information if they will ask
for it. The college has done a great
work along that line already, through
its direct efforts and through its in
structors, and the time seems now to
be coming on us when the result of
that is going to count for great deal.
Where a surplus can be produced OF
canned goods, above the needs of the
family, it should DE done. That sur
plus can be accumulated by commun-
tiles and taken care of in the market
when the time comes. 1 would par
ticularly caution the people generally,
though, to thoroughly post themselves,

The New WaistcOats.
l am wondering if the exurberant
new waistcoats of rainbow hued jer~
sey silk are doomed to so tickle a
fling. Most amazingly colored are
they in broad Roman stripes OF
orange, emerald green, purple and
scarlet. They are stunning for wear
with the, new sport coats of velvet
that are pressagented as successors
to the ubiquitous sweater.
| rather fear the existence of the
divers hued waistcoats will be fleet
ing, however, since all of their col
ors are guaranteed fast. Speaking Of
brilliant colors, we are due to have d
perfect riot OF them on hands this
spring if we are to judge by the way
the glove fingers point. Talk about
handpainted; well our hands will
certainly look painted when they
don the new sport gloves. Their low
er sides are of wash kid in the mos
hectic of hues and their backs are o.
glove silk in equally hectic matchins
tint of a contracting tone. They vii
look handpainted if they don't lool
as if something had dyed on oul
hands. Royal palms may well b.
dubbed the hands that are covere'
with the royal purple gloves wit
orange SILK backs. verdant palm
will be those of emerald green backe;

BOY SCOUTS TO HAVE EMPTY
STOCKING FUND

Scout Master w. c. Wilkerson and
his Boy Scouts will make campaign
for funds this week for the Empty
Stocking fund, for which there is a
great demand this year. Many of the
children of the poor will have small
occasion to feel the Christmas spirit
unless the more fortunate contribute
something to their pleasures. Every
child just naturally looks forward to
this season with expectation and an
ticipated pleasure 1t is their natural
right and realization of their desires
even in small way, will leave last
ing impression for good with them.
We urge Our readers to make a real
sacrifice for this fund and cheerfully
give something, either in money, or
such things as will delight some child,
kwhen the boys cali upor you. All
contributions will be acknowledged
through the Leader-Enterprise and if
the boys fail to find you, send it in to
us and we will make public ack-
nowledgement.

Proof Of the Pudding

G. w. Broadhurst, in the furniture
business here for about 81 years sud
denly decided last week that he had
money enough and wanted to retire
from business. He placed an adver-
tisement in the Leader Enterprise last
Wednesday announcing that he would
sell his entire stock of furniture,
stoves, etc, beginning Friday morn
ing. Thursday about noon, just time
enough for the advertisement to have
reached all of our readers, custom
ers began to come to see what they
could use and when the sale opened
Friday morning, Mr.. Broadhurst soon
learned to appreciate the selling pow
er of an ad in the Leader Enterprise.
By Friday night MORE THAN
HALF of his stock was sold and the
money in the bank, and today, Mon
day, the store is practically sold out
few iron and brass bedS:eads and
few stoves constituting the entire
stock on hand
Mr.. Broadhurst will retire from the

Why Called "REoodhound.n

AS regards the name bloodhound,
Count LIE Couteulx believes that when
fox hunting in something like it's pres
ent form was instituted it was found
that the sleuth-hound was not fast
enough for the purpose, and the pres
ent foxhound was evolved from various
material, and about this time it be-
came usual, in speaking of the old
hound of the country, to call him
bloodhound, meaning the hound Of
pure blood Gas might be said of a
FLOODED horse) to distinguish him
from the new hound or foxhound.
There is only one breed of pure, gen
uine bloodhounds, and that is the Eng
lish.
