A Generous Response.
Is over.

The call for 500, 600, 900 for Red
Cross work has been very generously
responded to throughout the country,
the subscriptions aggregating nearly
one hundred and twenty millions Of
dollars. In the raising of this sum
Edgefeld county had a very creditable
part. This however is a very small
sum when we consider the great and
imperative need that will arise from
time to time. In his address before
the South Carolina Press Association
at Beaufort Friday, Rear Admiral
Beatty, who is in command of the naval
forces in the district lying between
Wilmington and Savannah, stated that
it is expected that calls for the sup
port of the Red Cross work will have
to made every four months.
Not only must we provide for the
wounded and sick among our own SOL
dlers but aid must also be given to
Russia. Admiral Beatty stated. in
order to give some idea of the enor-
need for money, that along the
battle front of 400 miles France alone
has $40, 600 ambulances Immediately in
the cal of the firing line to bear away
the dead to a place of burial and to
take the wounded to field hospitals.
This immense ambulance corps gives
France about 160 to the mile, while
Russia has had only six to the mile.
Russian troops have had no trained
nurses or attention of that kind.
Therefore, if Russia is to become a
factor in this war, America will have
to supply through the Red Gross this
need along with others.
After presenting the Red Cross
needs, Admira. Beatty suggested ways
in which our people who remain at
home a supply the necessary funds
without making any considerable sacri-
fee. He urged the man who smokes
several cigars each day to reduce the
number to half and lay aside the other
half of his smoking money for the Red
Cross, and then when another call is
made, as will certainly be the case, he
will already have a considerable sum
to contribute. He also urged the la
dies to provide some systematic way of
contributing in small amounts to the
worthy cause. His call upon the chill
dren was to cut in half their chewing
gum and soft drink bill and not to at
tend the moving picture show but one
night in the week, contributing the
amount that would ordinarily be spent
at other times for this purpose to the
Red Cross fund. Thus through sys-
tematic saving and making a small
regular contribution to this fund we
can give very material assistance
without feeling the small sacrifice we
make.

Have you done your bit in the mat
ter of planting largely of food crops?
1t is not yet too late to plant corn. Of
course, one would not risk an entire
crop so late as this, and yet good hard
corn, especially corn for fattening
hogs, can be grown. 1t is also yet
time enough to double your sweet po-
tato acreage. Plant all of the food
crops you can, both for man and
beast.

well illustrated by the old receipt for
cooking albaccre. and which used to
be a stock story among fishermen
along the coast Of Southern California.
The receipt generally being about as
follows: That aibacorc should never
be cooked except on boat; and that
the way to do il is to first take out
the entrails, then skin the fish after
which it should te crt in thin slices
and placed in a skillet over charcoal
fire. While the fish is frying add a
little butter from time 10 time. and a
little pepper, turning each slice three
times. When cooked each portion
should be placed en- a Platter and then
dressed with some watercress and
half / lime. When this has all been
done the fish is best served by plac-
ing the platter On the rail Of the boat
and then accidentally knocking it off
into the sea.
While this receipt gives an idea OF
what used to be thought Of the fish
by those who cried to eat it, such Is
not true today. Canned albacore, or
tuna, as it's called by the packers,
is some toothsome fish, and il is the
same eaten as a fresh fish. That is,
il It is properly cooked. AS to the
manner in which II should be cooked
to be good as a fresh fish, 1 do not
know, further than that the manager
Of several of the large cafeterias in
San Diego once told me that milk was
used in cooking the fish. ~

TUNA THE GAME FISH, AND
CANNED TUNA

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: AS the question of catching
tuna for sport and canning tuna seems
to be matter Of interest to certain
people in Honolulu, am going to VEN
ture few remarks on both subjects.
First, will state that am not and
never have been a tuna fisherman.
While fished with light tackle for
half dozen seasons off the coast of
Southern California, fished perhaps as
consistently and religibhsly az the ay-
erage fisherman, and :. have caught
something In excess OF 80 fish, on light
tackle, that were over six, feet long,
yet l never caught tuna Tiny big
fish we're all sharks).
But am not alone In not having
qualified as tuna fisherman. For
an investigation I think will show
that the number Of smen who have
qualified as tuna fishermen, accord
ing to, the rules of. .the5C Catalina club,
are about.a hundred jnfnumber or less.
And these men are not all residents
OF Avalon, or Of California Cor that
matter, but from everywhere. a..
As to the leaping tuna, the fish
that has made avalon famous, 1T is a
giant .mackerel, and an epicure that
seems to; scorn all other food but fly
ing fish. Some seasons they are
caught off Catalina island but more
seasons they are not. 2 In fact, when
the season of 1909 came around no
leaping tuna had been caught off the
California coast for six years, and
some people considered them a myth,
almost. @25 - .r:
As to canned tuna, SO called: I
have known fishermen who fished for
the eanneries ever since the fish was
canned. At the close of the canning
season in 1915 represented the fish
ermen In some matters with certain
Of the packers, and at that time went
quite thoroughly into the industry, and
among other things drafted the con-
tract under which certain packers re-
ceiyed their catch for the season of
1916. So know little about the So
called canned tuna. - ..
As to the canned tuna talso called
the chicken OF the sea-, that 1t Is
some toothsoine fish is evidenced by
the fact that the fish has only been
canned since 1911 and mas grown into
big industry since that TIME. The
name chicken Of the sea, "5is deserip-
tive of the canned fish. II Is as differ.
emit from other canned fish as is the
avocado from other fruit. 49,. -
As to the fish itself: * It is the alba
core, the little brother Of the tuna
Like the tuna IL is mackerel;, min
iature tuna in fact, except in having
long side fins. almost as long in pro-
portion to the fish as those of fly.
ing fish. As to size, 20 pounds is a
husky albaeore, out they do grow to
twice that weight. Since the fish has
been canned, the name tuna is some
times applied to the fish by fishermen,
being known as the long-finned tuna,
In the contracts between the fisher
men and the packers. the fish is
called "albacore tuna ~...
An interesting matter concerning
the albacore is that prior to 1911-
when the fish was first canned, it was
considered WoTtlless--that is, except
as food for seals, etc. This fact Is
