One Little Mistake.

She took a course of first aid to the
injured, and after long and anxious
waiting, the accident she had earn
estly wished for took place.
It was minor railroad station ac-
cident, in which the man had broken
ais leg. She confiscated the walking
stick of a passerby and broke II In
three pieces for splints; she blushing-
~ took off her underskirt for band
ages, and was enthusiastically cheer
ed for so doing by the crowd When
all was completed she summoned n
cab and took the patient to the hos
pital
Who bandaged this limb so cred

pose of the food administration is not
primarily to reduce prices, but to con-
serve the supply and to make the best

fall very far short Of creating food

or extravagant individual consumer
Nor can he adequately control. all the
transportation systems-and that
would seem to be the vitality weak spot
in the whole situation. The New York
Herald expressed this point succinctly
when 1T said: One sometimes wonders
why it is that complaints against high
food prices always take fling at the
food administrator and pay no atten-
tion to Senator Jim" Reed and his
fellow statesmen who prevented con-

support of the press, he still seems to.

Lead and Zinc Pigments Decrease

Statistics of the production of lead
and zinc pigments in the United
States, compiled by the United States
geological survey, department of the
interior, show that the marketed out
put of these pigments of domestic
manufacture in 1916 reached value
of $60,376,319, as compared with a
value value of $43,336,939 reported for
1915, an increase of more than 80 per
cent
The output of pigments made from
pig lead in these two years is shown
in the following table:

TAX HITS $2o.WEEk MAN.
Denver Post)

tDenNer HoSt)
| The $20-a-week man, if married, is
exempt from taxation under the war
revenue bill If a bachelor he must
pay the government per cent. OF the
amount earned over $1,000. AS his
yearly salary amounts to 5000, his tax
will be 2 per cent of $40, or so cents.
! Not every $20-a- week bachelor,
however, will be required to contrib
ute even this small sum to the con-
duct of the war for democracy. When
he appears at the Office of the collect
or of internal revenue for his district
he will be furnished with blank on
which he may schedule his salary and
also the exemptions. This must be
done before the first day of March,
1918.
If he happens to own an equity in a
house which involves the payment of
$40 or more interest on a mortgage he
will escape taxation; if he pays in
terest on a note, or other form of in
debtedness, or If he pays taxes on any
kind of real estate, the amount is de-
Quoted from his taxable $40.
In case part of Mr.. Bachelors in
come is derived from rents, he may
claim exemptions for repairs, for wat
er rents and even insurance.
In other words the war revenue tax
Is levied on met" income only and
few "propertied' persons in the 500
a-week class win be required to con-
tribute. 1t is only the propertyless
man with an unencumbered salary of
$50 week who must hand in his 50
cents over the counter

More O1otin1ists Needed
Edgar A. Guest)

We need a few more optmists,
The kind that double up their fists
And set their jaws determined-like,
A blow at infamy to strike.
Not grinning optimists who cry
And compromise with every wrong;
Not grinnig outimists who cry
That right was never born to die.
But optimists who'll fight to give
The truth an honest chance to live.
We need a few more optimists
For places in our fighting lists.
The kind of hopeful men who make
Real sacrifice for freedoms sake;
The optimist. with purpose strong,
Who stands to battle every wrong.
Takes off his coat and buckles in
The better joys of earth to win!
The optimist who worries lest
The vile should overthrow the best
We need few more optimists,
The brave of heart that long resists
The force of Hate and Greed and Lust
And keeps in God and man his trust,
Believing, as he makes his fight,
That everything will end all right,
Yet through the dreary days and nights
Unfalteringly serves and fights,
And helps to gain the joys which he
Believes are some day sure to be.
We need few more optimists
OF iron hearts and sturdy wrists,
Not optimists who smugly smile
And preach that in little while
The clouds will fade before the sun,
But cheerful men who'll bear gun,
And hopeful men, of courage stout,
Who'll see disaster round about
And yet will keep their Faith, and fight,
And gain the victory for right

FROM FORKED deer

We notice in the last issue of the
States-Graphic that the editor calls
for news from the different sections of
the country. Here are few items

to whom we extend sympathy.
Since our thriving little village pos
sesses the same name as the river
which travefses the county, we fear
that some people think that this is a
marshy wilderness. For the benefit
of any who may have this mistaken
conception, we wish to tell something
of the place. Forked Deer is situated
in the northern part of Haywood coun-
ty on the Gates and Brownsville high
way. The elevation is great enough
to attract the attention of ravelers-
even those travelling in Ford" The
town has one M. E. church, two-sto-
ny brick school house, onue store, black
smith shop, grist mill, doctors office,
and many modern residences. Travel

FROM ALLEN STATION

As / have seen no communication
from here lately, l thought I would
jot down few items. If this escapes
the waste basket you may heaf from
US again.
The health of the community Is very
good since the measles and whboping
cough have about subsidized. G. b. Her
ring is about the last case and he is
doing nicely. This leaves one Aqk in
the neighborhood.
Mr.. ]. F. White who was taken to
Memphis and operated on SOMETIME
since, is reported as being worse His
condition is considered seriousl but
hope he may soon improve.
Owing to the continued rainy Hea-
Their farmers are away yonder behind
with their work. Practically no farm
work done; and right here am going
to offer aw ord of advice to my broth
er farmers. Don't let 18c or zoe COTTON
run you wild. Let US raise everything
we can to eat. Remember corn, bay,
potatoes and the like are all high as
cats back, and remember, too, that
although the prospects seem good for
cotton to remain at high price, II is
also possible that the price may take
tumble next fall.
Let US buy as sparingly as possible
and by so doing, if cotton should brig
good price, perchance we may Ae
able to lay up something for a rain
day. Let us remember a lesson W.
learned a few years ago when Vi
planted and cultivated 10 cent cottch
and sold that same cotton at from
to &c. A great number have bougbk
supplies at high price, which causeX
almost bankruptcy. We could buJ
goods then at price that was insigniI
cant as compared to the price now
SO let US be careful and watch as well
as pray.
There will be preaching at Alleh
Baptist church Sunday. April 10, at | |
o'clock, a, M, and at 1880 pm, by Reyl
j. j. Underwood of Hall-Moody Instit
tute. Everybody invited and thl
members of the church especially ard
urged to be present.
The people of Allen and Tabernacld
met at the Nixon Creek levee one daJ
last week and fifteen wagons and
teams and hauled dirt and repaired thd
levee. That's the way to do it, bows.
Help the county along and we will
soon be proud of our roads, besides
having the pleasure of driving oven
them with no bad holes in them. Il.
bother us.
We understand that there is a pel
tltion being circulated asking that ths
postmaster hold the rural carriers fox
the nine o'clock mail each morning
We would like to enter protest in'
behalf of this section. We are in thel
habit of getting our mail about nine
O'Clock each morning, and besides. wdl
think it would work hardship oI
the carriers. 1t would be almost imsl
possible for them to make their tripsl
and get in at reasonable time, espell
clally when the roads are bad. ThiS
move we understand, is in order to gel
the Commercial Appeal in the rural
districts; and while we like this pa-
per very much, its news items are good
and its editorials are grand; but we
don't think it right to work hardship
on the carriers and knock the people
out of their early mail to accommodate
any one paper. JAY. i

CANNING FRUIT
WITHOUT SUGAR

Washington, D. C.,June 25.-Fruit
for use in pie or salads OF as stewed
fruit can be put up or canned with
out the use of any sugar at all ac-
cording to the canning specialists of
the Department. They, therefore, ad-
wise those who, because of the high
price of sugar, have been thinking of
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much Of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar sirup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot srup. The
use of sugar, Of course, is desirable
IN the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes better and ready-sweet-
ened product. Moreover, most of the
fruits when canned in water alone do
not retain their natural flavor, tex
ture and color as we'll as fruit put
up in sirup. Fruit canned without
sugar to be used for sauces or des-
serts must be sweetened
Directions for Canning Fruits With
out Sirup.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in a strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle of a table
spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife
for packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from q kettle,
place rubbers and caps in position,
partially seal if using glass jars, seal
completely if using tin cans. Place
the containers in sterilizing vat such
as wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle improyised for the
purpose. If using a hot water bath
outfit, process for 80 minutes; count
time after the water has reached the
boiling point; the wafer must cover
the highest jar in container. Afte,

jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleach

If you are canning in tin cans it
will improve the product to plunge

OF the hot water bath, sterilize fol
10 minutes with five pounas of stean

to go over 10 pounds.

be used as seed for the second crop if
necessary.
The fall crop should be planted any
time from July 1st to July goth. When
planted at this time the vines mature
before frost and the maximum yield
is obtained. 1t requires IL to Id
weeks for potatoes to mature from
seed, and therefore they must be
planted htat much ahead of our ear
liest frost date. Where later plant
ings are made the vines do not ma
ture and the crop is shortened in
proportion to the lack of maturity.
The preparation, fertilization, and
planting Of the second crop is the
same as for the first crop except the
seed are put down in water furrow
and covered little deeper than the
spring crop. Frequent shallow cult
walton is necessary for good results.
Potato bugs are usually very de-
structive to the second crop and often
destroy the young plants as soon as
they come up. IF the plants are
sprayed often with a mixture made
up of one pound Of arsenate of lead
and four pounds of stone lime in
fifty gallons Of water the bugs will
not be very destructive. If they are
sprayed with bordeaux arsenate every
ten days or two weeks they will not
be troubled with either bugs or blight.
The bordeaux mixture will keep the
foliage in healthy growing condi-
ton. -

fully, SO that they will be in good
condition for another year. Often by
carelessly allowing planters to lay
around uncared for, one has to buy a
new one the following season, or at
least hunt for lost parts. Every plate
and other part Of the planters should
be stored carefully away, and the
planter left ready for use another
year. Prices of machinery are ad-
vancing as well as prices of food
stuffs, and there is no reason why the
farmer should not take unusually good
care of all implements on the farm.
