/ Concentrated on the pressing task
She's pledged herself to bear.
Behind this modern knitter's face,
What thoughts arise and surge,
| With aching hearts, what bitter
| griefs,
What tears forbid TO urge!
No more than soldier in the trench
May she lament or moan;
The "Knitter's Face" is a fighters
face,
Although she fight at home.

Canning Club Girls Will Make an Elk
hibit at the Star Fair
Canning club and home demonstra-
ton exhibits are being sent from
Marion county to the state fair in
Jacksonville. Mrs. J. r. Moorhead has
already sent seven or eight exhibits
and is packing another one this morn
ing. None of these goods were pre-
pared for this fair-they are the work
that Marion county ladies and girls
have recently done for their own
home use, and so Mrs. Moorhead's
selection is made up of jars taken
from housewives larders.
Of course, their jellies and pre-
serves already have a reputation, but
the absence of them this year was
specially noticed Of course, there
were a few stray jars that made the
passers-by who dropped in at the
demonstration kitchen mighty hum
CRY, but on the whole there were far
more of the substantial things of life.
Among them were corn, peas, toma-
toes, cabbage, meats, beets, turnip
greens and many other vegetables.
The dried exhibit was especially
interesting and contained IA varie-
ties. These were put up by Mrs. J. E.
Hyndman, under the direction of Mrs.
Moorhead. There was one especially
pretty jar that we were told was
dried pumpkin. This quart jar con-
tanned one whole pumpkin that as a
fresh pumpkin was larger than any
one person could reach around. There
was also celery, which of course can't
be had at all times, berries, beets and
still another jar that contained all the
required vegetables for soup. All
these look like dried up substance,
but when put in water, 10! you have
fresh celery, fresh berries, etc.
