Brunswick Runs 100000 Over
Quota in Bonds

Brunswick, June 16. In proper,
tion to her population and against
the amount allotted to this city,
Brunswick undoubtedly made a bet
ter showing than any city in the
United States in her subscription to
Liberty Bonds, The local banks
announced their figures today and
il showed that exactly $l,l00,000
had been subscribed, a total Of 4Sl
bonds having been sold in the city.
When it is realized that Brunswick
was called upon for less than $780,
900 in subscriptions, it will be seen
that the city oversubseribed itself
over million dollars and equaled
the amount subscribed by many
cities five times as large as Bruins
wick in population.

Machine Carriers WeeviIs
Where The Hand Fails

A representative Of the Observer
went down in Brooks county this
morning to attend demonstration
Of the Till Boil Weevil Machine.
The Till machine is aninvention ar
ranged to be worked by hand and is
run over the cotton in manner to
shake out the weevils andcatch them
in troughs at the bottom on each side.
The demonstration was made at
the home Of w. H. Muse Several
neighbors gathered to witness the
performance Of the machine. 1t de-
veloped that weevils are scarce in
that particular section, and in the
field where theparty went to try out
the machine there were noforms on
the ground and no damage to the
cotton toindicate that they were get
ting in their work there. After a
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1917-06-22

considerable search being made with
the natural eye, and with the hands
being used to open up the forms and
turn over the leaves, no weevils were
found. Finally it was decided to
make hunt for them with the ma
chine anyhow, and soon they began
to fall into the troughs Of the ma
chine, Less than a dozen sSws were
gone over with the machine and they
yielded about one weevil to each row.
The farmers present were greatly
impressed with the demonstration
They considered that the machine
performed quite remarkable feat,
and the man in whose field the dem
onstration was made, bought one on
the spot and will put an operator in
his cotton at once. From The Daily
Observer Of June 9TH.

A New Bridge Across Flint River

Albany, June II Baker and
Mitchell counties have reached an
agreement on 4 proposition to build
IA bridge across the Flint river at
Newton. Each county agrees to
pay half the costs, and the bridge
now seems assured. Authority to
build q bridge was granted by con-
gress sometime ago, III a bill in
troduced by Congressman Frank
PARK. The building Of the bridge
is expected to prove good thing
fer Camilla as well as for Newton,
as the former city is only 10 miles
from Newton, while Albany, which
now is Newtons nearest market, is
d miles distant. Baker is one Of
the comparatively few Georgia coun-
ties having no railroad, and the
building Of this bridge will give her
people much closer connection with
railroad facilities than is now the
case.

As a measure of economy post masters are directed to encourage the public to use stamps of the highest denomination suited to amount of postage required on all mail. For example, a ? cent stamp instead of two 1 cent stamps should be affixed to let ters needing two cents postage; and a 10 cent stamp instead of two;5 cent stamps, used on arti- ,cles requiring ten cents postage. Cooperation between post-office employees and he,public in the sale and use of stamps of the higher denominations will effect a large saving to the government in the cost of producing, trans porting and cancelling them.

New Postal Regulation

Insurance tags will no longer be attached to parcels" This new order governing the Postal Service in regard to Parcel Post took effect July 1. Receipts from addresses aye not required on delivery, according to the new system. but even greater care will be taken in handling parcels on which insurance has been paid.
 The actual value of the contents must appear on the package wrapper, where number and fur ther details will be copied by the clerk. When parcels are pre- sented for insurance senders should advise thoselin charae of the nature of the contents. The wrapper can then be marked with rubber stamps provided for that purpose, ''Perishable,' or Fragile" as the case may be.
 The receipt given to >senders will remain ostensibly the same, as at present it carries all parti- culars necessary for tracing lost parcels.

SCOTCH
 METHOD
Interesting Description of the Scotch Cure
 for Herring

Frequent mention of the Scotch cure for herring now being demon strated throughout Alaska has caused natural inquiry regarding this new method, and those mateial ly interested in this new industry will appreciate the difference in this treatment of the food fish as taught by Aug. H. D. klie in this territory.
 Only the fresh herring are de- s,rable for cure. As soon as the fish is received at the stations it is dumped into a farland Ia box about ten feet long and five feet wide and three feet high with open cracks in the sides and bottom to facilitate the escape of blood and other liquids), great care ,teing taken that they receive a good sprlnkling of salt as they slide out of the fish baskets.
 Gibblng is the next step. In this process the gills and gutbag are entirely removed, but mot the mih or roe.
 As the herring are gibbed they are dropped into baskets placed conveniently at the side of the gutter for the various sizes and selections of which there are usually four, viz: large fulls.' 'fulls,
 mat fulls;" and 'matties." To. ward the end of the season a sepa- rate selection is made for spents' or spawned herring which should never be mixed with the regular cure. Selecting or grading the her ring according to their size is done chiefly by touch and not by eye measurement.
 Perhars the most particular work is "rousing.' nhis is where art enters into business and special skill is requiEed. First the gibbed or gutted herring is dumped into large tubs sufficient to pack a regu-.. lar Scotch barrel, where they re- ceive very thorough sprinkling and mixing of salt. This is really the secret of Scotch curing, and particular attention must be paid to it, SO that the herring are so we'll covered on both sides with salt, that the skin of one does not come' into direct contact with its neigh bor when packed in the barrel. Salt must not be stinted when used for this purpose and energy IS re- quired as there is tendency t) spare the hands from the harsh salt.
 Alaska herring sometimes eat quantities of what is generally known as Fred feed." This is a form ot minute sea-life, abundant in certain localities. The herring when gorged with red feed are un- fit for cure. A haul found to con- tain this feed naturally discourages the inexperienced packer, but a remedy for the situation is known to Mir. Klie. If the net is allowed to remain for a time ill the water the fish finally disgorge themselves after which action they are ready for cure.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1917-07-19

Mir. Studdert advises that his work has been most encouraging in the Northern field and judging from the present outlook many con- cerns will take up the Scotch meth cd this season.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1917-07-19

After witnessing a demonstration of the Scotch cure al Juneau by w. P. Studdert of the Bureau of Fisheries a Juneau dealer placed an order with Jacob Johnson of Port Conclusion for a number of barrels of Scotch cured herring for local consumption.
