The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1917-07-05


A Lumberton lady 'phoned The
Robesonian office the other day about
her method of saving vegetables in
brine, saying that she had told some
of her friends about it and they
thought it such a good way and ask
ed her to let others know about it
through The Robesonian. She said
that for years she has saved vege-
tables for winter use by simply put
ting them in brine. County Farm
Demonstration Blanchard, being ask
ed about this, said that the canning
experts know about that method, of
course, but that vegetables saved in
that way lose part of their flavor
In the process they have to undergo
IN preparing them for the table, ard
that the canning experts strongly adj
wise use of the standard methods they
are now demonstrating all over Rob-
eson. These methods have been tried
Tor a number of years in a number of
States and they are known to be
scientifically correct and NAV be de-
pended upon. The Robesonian is
glad TO note the interest that ladies
arr manifesting in every method that
will enable them to save vegetables
and fruits for winter use, and it an
preciates the way it's friends wan;
to, pass the information they have t
others through this medium. 1t l.
to be hoped, however, that every lad,
who c9n do so will attend at leas'
oHes Of the ' chnriing demonstration
meetings being held over the county
and will follow the instructions givel
by these canning experts.

AN INEVITABLE JOB

Local army exemption boards in
the various counties have a task of
great responsibility and one that no
man who lightly undertakes the
work, without a sense of the respOn-
sibility, is fit to serve upon. Men,
beers of these boards must perform
their duty so faithfully, so fearless
ly and so impartially as to avoid the
very appearance of unfairness or of
being influenced by anything other
than the rules laid down for their
guidance and the highest service to
the country. Rich and poor, prom
inent and obscure, men of wide in
fluence and those who move in a
small circle, all must be treated alb
solutely alike. An exemption board
could do the country no greater dis
service than to deviate by even so
much as a hairs breadth from the
straight and narrow path. Men who
are selected will go cheerfully and
willingly to serve their country at
the front so long as they are sure
they are receiving a square deal, but
it would be a disastrous thing for
any man to have reason to feel that
he had not received the same con-
sideration at the hands of the men
who have this important duty Of de-
Gliding on affairs locally as some
more prominent or more fortunate
neighbor. Any man ought to be
proud to serve his country in any ca
pacity in which his services are re-
quired, but too much care cannot be
: exercised to guard against any ap-
pearance that would lead to discon-
tent among those who may be select
ed for military duty. The two
boards that have been appointed fol-
Robson county are composed Of men
who, we believe, will perform their
duties we'll. They have an unenvi-
able job and should receive the sup.
port and aid of all patriotic citizens

n addressing the jury relative to tts
duties, Judge Arnidon pointed out the
supreme Importance Of discarding all
newspaper reports and gossip on the
streets; the jurors. he said, must have
their,minds open and not allow them
selves to be IN any manner influenced
except by the evidence introduced and
by the law. Judge Amidon pointed cut
that lis was not a moral case. hut a
legal case which should be tried solely
upon its status IS a legal action. The
jurors were admonished to abstain
from reading newspapers or to discuss
in any ann the case with any one:
they were also told not to talk about
the case among themselves befnrs they
go into the jury room.
All the defendants were in court as
