Be Canny
Get that canning impulse.

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer KEEP
your can opener busy next winter,
Get ready for the canning season
now. Regrets are the only things
ever canned in the jars you forgot
to order.
Can nothing that can be kept
without canning, Dry such vege-
tables as corn, string beans. navy
beans, mature Lima beans. etc.
You can brag about your garden
all winter if you have yeur canned
evidence on the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, SO that each co1I-
tainer will contain as much canned
food and as little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to can
ming fruit and vegetables except
care, cleanliness, fresh products,
jars and heat.

Timely Farm Suggestions
By A. L. PaschaIl, County Agricultural
Agent

Beans, beans and more beans.
Now and during the next Is days
is the time to plant them-July Ia
to last of the month. The later
the planting the thicker they
should be planted, as having
shorter time in which to grow they
make but little plant, so the more
thickly the plants are, provided
there is sufficient moisture, as
usually is during the rainy season
or with irrigation the more beans
will be made. Plant beans in rows
% to - inches apart, dropping the
beans about 4 inches apart in the
rows. About IS pounds will be
required to plant an acre for late
planting, July2O to August / For
very late planting of Tepary beans
and where there is very good mois-
ture conditions, after good rains,
flood waters or irrigation, broad
casting has proven to be very sue
successful in producing big yields.
However, on account of the scarce
itv of seed and high prices for same
it may not be advisable to do this
this year, but plant in rows instead,
giving cultivation. Where the land
has been in cultivation and is in
fairly good condition even though
it has not been plowed this year a
good disking should be given be-
fore planting. Do the plowing
where the milo or feterita is to be
planted, as the Cochise Expert
ment Station has found that where
blowing for both beans or coWpeas
and for the summer grain and sor-
ghum crops cannot be done 1t is
best to plow for the corn and sor-
ghums and disc for the beans.
Dwarf milo and feterita can yet
be planted These crops are heavy
yielders of grain. The grain is
about equal to corn for feed and
also for human food, and there is
good and ever increasing demand
for these grains. BY using one
fourth to one-third wheat flour with
three-fourths to two-thirds ground
milo or feterita good bread and
cake can be made. l have eaten
bread and cake made from such
flour, as we'll as have other farm
ers, and can vouch for its good
qualities. Ground and even whole
milo or feterita also make excellent
breakfast food, equal to or better

There are those who complain
because America has not made
much noise about this war, but
still streams generally have depth.
In regard to this seeming apathy,
Governor Whitman Of New York,
recently said: There are those
who profess to discover certain
apathy on the part of the people
and who may make vocal fear
that there is lack of the full un-
derstanding necessary to unity of
purpose and energy. These opin-
ions are based upon the fact that
the national poise has not been
disturbed, and that the national
mind has not been given over to
base and ignoble passions. 1t is
proof of Americas high purpose
and solemn intent. It is an evil
spirit we have resolved to destroy,
not a people. It is a philosophy
of 1nurderous forces that we are
warning against, not the mere ac-
tons Of individuals, In our hearts
is no hatred. Our courage is not
of the kind that has to be whipped
to it's purpose by anger and hys-
terra. "-Douglas Dispatch.

Political Notes.

Assemblyman Roberts repeater Of
the "full crew" law failed to pass the
House of Assembly and Mr.. Roberts
moved to reconsider the vote and will
bring the matter up again before the
close Of the session.
The Senate has passed the bill Civ
ing the auditor of Burlington county
an increase in salary. He will now
get $1,000 a year, which is not too
much for the work that has to be done.
Owing to the large number OF votes
cast in the last electionsthe township
of Palmyra will be compelled to re-
district and there will be three voting
precincts hereafter instead OF two as
heretofore. Palmyra has grown very
rapidly lately in population and in the
number Of new houses that have been
built.
When the bill to increase the salary
of the county auditor was before the
Senate it was explained by Senator
Wells, who said that the increase had
been recommended by various officials
and grand jury Of this county. This
caused Senator Florance. Democrat,
to inquire what grand jury had to do
with such recommendation, he could
not see where that body got into it.
With his usual quickness Senator
Wells went back at his Democratic
colleague and said: 1.-THE grand jury
recognized the extra work done by the
auditor when the jury was investigat-
ing the acts Of a Democratic Board Of
Freeholders. This created lot of
merriment at the expense Of the Demo-
cratic Senator, but he was game and
joined in the applause.

DR.. Conwell's Lecture

DR. Russell HI. Conwell visited
Mount Holly, Wednesday evening,
and delivered his famous lecture,
Acres Of Diamonds. to large and
appreciative audience. Those who
were preferred in the matter Of admis-
sion were the pupils Of the grammar
and high schools of Mount Holly, the
lecture being intended to benefit them
particularly. After sufficient num-
Der of tickets had been given out to
secure the admission of the pupils
mentioned, Professor William C. Sulli-
van was authorized to issue enough
tickets to people who had been des-
ignated, in quantity to fill the high
school auditorium, and that room was
certainly taxed to its capacity.
The lecture was one that Mr.. Con-
we'll has delivered 5,527 times, yet it is
always new and interesting. A re-
markable part Of Wednesday evenings
entertainment was the attention given
by the children who were present.
Mr.. ConWell said, as he started to
speak, that after looking at the
children before him he was tempted to
Atk4AD AA1AAA eA&G U40tE[t AAAkOuuGEQ
and talk on something that might APP
pear more strongly to the youthful
minds, but before he had concluded he
told the children that he never had a
more appreciative audience or one that
took more interest in the talk than the
young people before him. Mr.. Con-
well was especially pleased with the
attention the children paid TO his lee
4r4~n I, g. L.
out showing any signs of WEAKNESS.
As several OF them said: I'VE could
have stayed two hours longer"
Mr.. Conwell was brought TO Mount
Holly by gentleman whose name
was kept entirely secret and who did
not intend to have it made public, but
the speaker let it drop and when it was
made known that William G. Wether-
Ill had arranged the lecture at his own
expense there was burst of applause
which showed how all appreciated the
effort put forth to educate the YOUTH
full mind. While Mr.. Wetherill was
not seeking praise for what he had
done he certainly deserves much credit
for his act. His only regret is that it
was impossible to have everybody hear
this famous lecture. The children of
ttAC sGl1JotWGkC tlAOrG Lie 1JuEllt W 8GlG~
fit. He wanted to give them some
thing to think about in future life and
he succeeded. The rising generation,
the school children of today, are Of the
class that need attention now. The
older people have had their day so far
as school is concerned, although all
may live and learn, but it is the grow
ing youth whose lives may be moulded
by just such educational facilities as
were presented by Mr.. Wetherill.
Every child present Wednesday night,
and in fact many of the grownup
people in the audience, carried away
with them thoughts that must be valu-
able in after life.
So that it must be taken for granted
that while the gentleman who so kind
ly brought the great lecture to Mount
Holly did not wish to seek publicity,
he cannot but accept the verdict of the
people that he did good deed and has
planted in the minds of those who en-
ljoyed the treat seed that must event
uailV bring forth good fruit.
