had met his death, she asserted that
she loved her husband and would

"It has been brought to the at

Canning Precautions.

Clemson College, May 23.-Cleanli-
ness is one of the important secrets
to success in canning. Be absol' ely
clean in every operation and keep al
the surroundings the same.
Carefully sterilize with hot (boii.
ing) water every utensil before it is
used. Also the jars, rubbers, ana
cans.
In buying glass jars, secure the
best. One of the most satisfactory
types of jars is the lightning Pat
ent" with a glass top held in place
by simple wire spring.
Use the best grade of tin cans even
though they cost little more than
the cheaper grades.
With glass jars always use new
rubbers.
Fruit for canning should be ripe
but firm. Do not use overripe specl-
mems.
Vegetables for canning should be
young and tender.
Fruit and vegetables are better to-
canning if gathered in the early
morning and kept in a cool place un'

portant meeting on May IA.
At this meeting plans were outlined
for the work Of the State association
during this convention year. The
committee were unanimous in elect
ing Miss Milwee Davis of Laurens as
rural superintendent of the State as
sociation. Miss Davis is peculiarly
fitted for this work and Will render
the Sunday schools Of the State splen-
did service. Her special work will
be with the rural Sunday schools. but
she will be prepared to help in the
general work of the district and coun-
ty conventions. Miss Davis will give
practically all her time during the
year to field and Office work. She and
the general secrtary, R. D. Webb, will
attend the international training

H. A. Wise of Columbia was reelected
as secondary division superintendent,
and Paul Quattlebaum of Conway as
adult division superintendent.
It was voted by the central commit
tee to adopt the self entertainment
plan for the next State convention.
This action was taken in view of the
fact that because Of the size OF the
convection only very few cities in
the State can entertain it, and these
few cities would have to entertain it
too frequently under the present plan.
The general secretary was authorized
to take up the matter with any cities
that may wish to entertain the con-
vention under the new plan.

with the international association.

announced within a few weeks. Come
