CANS BOUGHT FOR
OUR CANNING CLUBS
PUBLIC SPIRITED BUSINESS MEN
ADVANCE THE MONEY TO
INSURE A SUPPLY.

Some Of the business men Of Louisa
have come to the rescue OF the girls'
canning clubs OF Lawrence county in
the matter OF insuring q supply OF tin
cans. Through Dixon. Moore x Co..
wholesale grocers. an order was placed
Monday for nearly $4,000 cans. This
represents a cash outlay in the future
OF more than 100000. but II was neces-
sary TO place the order before May 18th.
After that date II was reported there
would be no cans for sale this season
by the factories. Nearly all the tin
used for plating the material used In
the manufacture Of cans comes from
England and the war has almost stop
ped its Importation.
Nobody in Louisa or Lawrence coun-
ty viii make one cent of profit on the
cans. The girls viii get them at actual
cost and will be permitted TO pay for
them In canned goods at the market
price. Contracts will be prepared TO
this effect for those who desire TO avail
themselves OF this opportunity. The
needs OF canning club members will be
supplied first The goods put up by
these girls win be strictly In accord
ance with the government formula and
can therefore be depended upon TO be
OF uniform quality. The attractive fea-
ture OF this Arrangement is that the
merchants, both wholesale and retail,
know they are safe in recommending
the quality of these goods.
Miss Davis. the County Agent, will
handle the orders for cans wanted by
the girls. Mrs. Jonas. OF Louisville,
was here Friday and Saturday and
spoke to the meeting OF business men
in regard TO purchasing the cans.

In Boyd county last week.

during last year and up until this time,

her fifteen counties to supervise and
Mrs. Jonas only twelve. so In order 70
even the work Mrs. Jonas was given
both Lawrence and Boyd counties
While we regret to give up Miss Chinn,
as she is very efficient and highly in
telpgent, with most pleasing per-
sonhlity, we are glad TO claim Mrs,
Jonas again. She had the supervision
Of Lawrence county during It's pioneer
days OF 1915. and made the first speech
ever made by a woman TO the Lawrence
County Fiscal Court asking for appro-
priation for this work.
In getting Mrs. Jonas again we are
not only going to have one OF the fore
most workers of Home Demonstration
work in the South, but lady possess
ing the highest type of wisdom, cul-
ture and experience.
Mrs. Jonas said had she been told
that Lawrence county had made the
strides OF progress in all lines OF agri-
culture work. and especially in Home
Demonstration work, that 1t has, she
could not have believed II and would
nave said 1t is impossible TO have one
hundred girls enrolled in the work for
1917, but after she had seen only a
part OF the work OF the county she was
fully convinced OF its standing.
From Mrs. Jonas we expect TO get
the best and first attention and under
her supervision climb up several rounds
OF our new ladder.
