KEYPORT. Sept. 19:--Although
the girls canning club has beef in
vited to give a demonstration at the
Trenton fair, owing to the fact that
the club is such a young one 1t has
been decided not to give the demon

possible that a demonstration may be

the fruits and vegetables which the

The work done by the girls is most
commendable and reflects greatly

rectly supervised by the Home Econ

which necessitateS our maintaining

fraught with considerable danger in

matters have always been OF great

sands Of families, the world over, feel
that they could hardly keep house with
out it. It's simple and cheap, but the
way it takes hold OF cough will quickly
earn it a permanent place in your home;
Into pint bottle, pour 212 ounces OF
Pinex; then add plain .granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if
desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, it tastes good, never
spoils, and gives you a full pint, of
ready.made for three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly this
homemade remedy conquers a cough
usually in "a ho"rs or less. 1t seems to
penetrate through every air passage,
loosens q dry, hoarse or tight cough,
lifts the phlegm. heals the membranes,
and gives almost immediate relief. Splen-
did for throat tickle, hoarseness, Group,

Word has recently been received
from Barcelona, Spain, that because
Of his influence in proclaiming and
establishing the principle Of nation
alities as a standard to the new Eu-

Who would have thought in '9S
that any American, from president
to bootblack would in less than 20
years be acclaimed Spanish citizen
with mutual satisfaction to Spain
and the United States
Americans will cheerfully see the

This exception shall be nameless,

POSITIONS TO Be FOUND
FOR SOLDIERS RETURNING
FROM CAMP AND FRONT.

The Federal Safe Employment
Service is now facing one OF the
most serious problems that has con-
fronted it since its organization oe
Fronterhouse, superintendent, re-
ceived a telegram from Claude +.
Connally, federal director OF employ
ment, setting forth the plan by
which returning soldiers will be
placed in their former positions,
The office is ordered TO get in touch
with all employers throughout the
district and ascertain the number
OF men that have been employed by
them that are now in the service
overseas or in the camps. 1t states
that employers must be impressed by
the importance OF this move and be
quick 10 respond to the call as de-
mobilization will be rapid and it is
necessary for the service to place re-
turning men. The office is advised TO
furnish the federal director with the
number OF men who can be placed
at the earliest possible date and quick
action will be necessary.
The Community Labor Board met
Yesterday afternoon in the office OF
the Federal State Employment Bu-
reau and discussed plans for obtain
ing the needed information, 1t was
decided at this meeting that the
work could best be done through the
council of defense, as that organlza--
ton is thoroughly organized
throughout the county and will be
OF great assistance in furnishg an
accurate report. A member OF the
executive committee of the Carter
County Council of Defense was
present at the meeting and promised
the entire support OF that organiza-
ton in assistaing with the work.
1t is set forth in the orders from
the federal director that the boys
who have gone to camp and over
seas have done their share i'll the de-
fense OF their country and 1t IS only
right and just that they be reinstat-
ed in their former positions when
they return. Quite a number OF
those who have entered the service
will perhaps not return to their tor-
mer work but will seek employment
in other fields but those returning
must be furnished with employment
This great task is given the United
States Employment Service and 1t
is ONLY with the closest cooperation
with this organization that the work
can be carried to successful nm
ish.
Employers Of Ardmore and Car
ter County are urged to Immediately
get in touch with the local office OF
the United States Employment Serv-
ice. informing them OF the number
of men they will be able to handle
who are now in military service. The
office desires to furnish the federal
director with a report by December
10 and urges that all employers com
municate with them before that
date. Those employers who have no
help in the service, but who would
be able to make places of employ
nent for them are likewise request
ed to report to the local office, Civ
ng the number of men they will be
able to use.
