MAKING AND SAVING.

nave ncen neln III various puItS Ol
Oconce almost every night. the
purpose OF these meetings Is to bring
forcihly to the attention OF the peo-
pie OF Oconee the necessity for in
erased production and Il strict conser-
walton OF all food and feed that Is
made. The theme Of the meetings.
production and consorvation-has
been almost universally shortened
down to the simple, everyday words.
"Making and Saving" They cover
the ground well. they are pointed,
forceiul, and the people. we believe,
are without dissenting voice or
hindcring act rallying to the call that
comes to them. We believe that Oco-
nee will do her part, and do 1t well.
this year in making at home evory-
thing that will be needed by our
own people, with something over
that can he spared to help others less
fortunate hero and abroad.
1t ha.' been the good fortune Of the
editor OF The Courier to attend scvC-
ia! Of the meetings held, he having
been present at the OcOnce Creek
meeting, the Oakway meeting and
the meeting last Sunday at Double
SPRINGS. The reports from all meet
ings are good and most encouraging,
tended are fair samples OF them all,
we feel that there will be great good
accomplished. for tho people OF these
three communities are alive to the
Importance OF the work in hand and
are ready to cooperate nightly both
in "Malin&" and "Saving."
AT the Oakway meeting there was
a special feature added that, we be-
licvc. Is new to the general plan. At
his point the ladies OF the commu-
nifty arranged a Corn Supper" scry-
ing hountiiul feast to the large as
Scmhly, each dish prepared and serv-
cd being made from 4 corn product.
That all may see Just what was serv-
ed we give below. Ofrom memory.
therefore not with guarantee attach
ed rs to accuracy.) the menu:
Baked chicken
(cOrn fcd)
Stewcd corn Corn mullins
Big h0miny
(likc mother used to makc)
Corn coffee
COrnStarch pudding
Corn cake.
This was a complete supper. good
supper, and satisfying one. The
fact that it was served at Oakway is
sufficient guarantee of its merits. If
there is any item omitted from the
menu, the omission is due to the fact
that we became interested deeply in
that good old ''lye hominy," part
OF our "homc-ra ising" that, whatever
else may be our faults, we have never
forgotten. This supper impressed Oh
our mind the fact that, come what
may in the way Of wheat shortage,
our people will never starve or be Sc
riously deprived Of food SO long as
our crops OF King Korn" are good.
And we had never supposed for a
moment that real, genuine, thorough
ly good cake could be made from
'orn meal. but it can. We suppose
hat this cake was made much in the
same manner that our regulation
,akes are made, save that corn meal
vas substituted for wheat flour; at
my rate, it was assuredly full corn
product cake, and 1t was gOOd--gOod
enough for anybody anywhere and
everybody everywhere, just as the
corn coffee was good. We learned
now this tasty beverage was made
he recipe minis the proportions
and here is the principle: Corn meal
is taken in quantity desired. an egg
is broken and stirred into the meal,
then small quantity Of sugar is
added. When thoroughly mixed to
a crumbly mass, the whole is parchcd
in the oven until it looks like parch
cd and ground coffc. Then pour
boiling water over the coffee" and
keep it boiling till done. Try this
out, and if it don't work, write Mrs.
Walker Bcardcn, at Oakway. We will
be willing to guarantee that ynn wilt

At the Double Springs meeting the
Thrift. Stamps and War Savings
Stamps took Il good hold. Postmas-
ter Albert NJ. Brown. OF Mountain
Rest, was present. and he enrolled
eleven names on his list OF those who
have startch saving Oh the stamp
basis. There was a good crowd at
the DOub'e Springs church, and they
were deeply interested. Theirs is a
grain section. and they plano no cot
ton at all. The Double Springs com
munity may hc counted on, we be-
lieve, to make two stalks Of corn
produce ears where only one pro-
duced before. Up there they are Ol
tho kind o. people who do things.
There are other meetings to be
held over the county during the next
few DAYS, and we hope that the Deo'
pie OF those communities still to be
visited Will take deep interest In
these meetings and attend IL posi-
BILE. 1t Is worth while--not that the
speakers can, or will try to, tell the
farmers how they should farm, 0,
the housewives how they should
cook and prepare their meals, bu'
simply foi the reason that there Is
encouragement, enthusiasm, strength
