MANY ILLICIT STILLS
RAIDED BY OFFICERS

Atlanta, Ca, September 6-No less
than POI illicit distilleries were seiz-
ed and destroyed in the month of
August by United States revenue Of
ficers, exceeding all previous records
for single months operations. In
stead of the former plan of sending
two or three officers into a locality
where moonshining was suspected,
the government is now sending
large force of deputies on WHOLESALERS
raid. Another helpful factor has been
the cooperation of private citizens
in reporting distilleries. On account
of the extremely high prices demand
ed for blockade whisky brought to the
state since the bone dry prohibition
laws, the illicit distilling industry
has taken on a boom.

/ Aaaa 4 M%!'s

Atlanta, Sept. 5.-That the govern
ment is making its plans to be able
to push the war at top speed without
slack anywhere on the line for the
next three years, is the information
brought back from Washington by
Thomas X Glenn, chairman OF Re-
gion No. IL Of the resources and con-
version section OF the War Industries
Board. This does not necessarily
mean that the war will last three years
but means that the government must
be ready to carry 1t on for three years
without let up.
The success of the mobilization OF
the industrial resources of the coun-
try, states Chairman Glenn depends
entirely upon manufacturers. The
question of disseminating .non-essential
industry is being seriously considered
so that the bulk of the nations indus
trial power can be turned to the pro
duction of things essential to the con-
duct of the war. This will be done

BENNETT SAYS HARDWICK
RIDES WATSONS COAT TAIL

Dublin, Sept. Talk about Hard
witch charging that Harris is trying
to ride into office on the coat tail of
Woodrow Wilson, why Hardwick is
trying so hard to ride in on the coat
tails of Tom Watson that Tom has
actually quit wearing a suit for fear
he will slip Hardwick into Office" de-
clared Hon. John w. Bennett of Way
cross in a speech here this morning
in the interest of Hon. w. ]. Harris
for the Senate. Mr. Bennett made one
of the sanest, most convincing argu-
ments in favor of Harris that has
been heard here yet. A good sized
crowd gathered in the court house to
hear him and he was frequently
cheered, especially when he referred
to Woodrow Wilson as the greatest
man in the world today. He was in
troduced by G. H. Villains.
Colonel Bennett cahrged that Hard
wick owed his election to Congress
to Watson but when every Congress-
man from Georgia was protesting
against carrying Watson outside of the
state for trial in the federal court
Watson refused TO lift hand but de-
clared if Watson were cut in quarters
he would be better pleased and yet
now he is going around the state ap-
pealing to the Watson vote and doing
his best to ride in on Watson's coat
tail.

Peppers and Celery in Brine.

Green peppers and celery can be
preserved for future use by brining.
If properly done peppers so prepared
can be used as substitute for fresh
peppers in pickles or salads, or after
freshening in water can be used for
stuffed pepper. Properly prepared
they can hardly be told from fresh
peppers. The method of brining is as
follows:
Remove the stems and seed and
pack nose down into a water-tight,
non-metallic receptacle, such as key,
barrel, crock or glass fruit jar. Cover
with brine made by adding two
pounds of salt to each gallon of water.
If keg, barrel or crock is used, sus.
pend wooden cover in the brine so
that it will keep the peppers we'll below
the surface. If the cover is placed on
the peppers and weighted without sus-
pension, it will crush the peppers and
make them lose their shape. Add
more salt to the cover until no more
will dissolve. If put in fruit jars or
other containers that can be sealed, no
more salt need be added. In this case,
allow to stand for three or four days
to allow gas to escape, then I'LL per-
fectly full with brine and seal tight.
Kegs or barrels that have good head
can be filled full with peppers and
brine and headed up. Fresh peppers
can be added from time to time as
they mature. Before use, freshen in
water to remove salt and then use like
fresh peppers.
Celery can be preserved in the same
manner, and after freshening is ex-
cel1ent for soups, creamed celery and
for f1avoring purposes.

be bought at a reasonable price. IF
the vertical rulings in the book do
not serve the purpose others may be
inserted with a pen or pencil. Ac-
counts are sometimes kept in a book
having small pages. A small page,
however, is soon filed, is often
crowded, and the information is scat
tered over too many pages for conven-
fence in recording and studying the
expenditures.
In order to simplify accounts it is
well to group expenditures. If all in
dividua1 items were listed in separate
columns, it would require a great
amount of detail work. The distribu-
ton of the different household expen-
ditures into groups is largely matter
of individual viewpoints. The follow
ing ten divisions should be satisfac-
tory for the average farm family: An
imal food, fruits and vegetables, cereal
products, other groceries, clothing,

ses, advancement, incidentals and saw

Two Simple Methods of Making
and Classifying Records of
Expenditures.
Use ORDINARY BLANK BOOK
Details Encourage Economy and Show
Relation Of Home Expenses to
Farm Business - Ten Divi-
sions Satisfactory.

The modern farmers wife is no
longer satisfied with the old accepted
idea that ''the farm gives us a liv-
ing" but she gets out her pencil and
paper and asks "How much of a liv-
ing does it give us?"
Generations ago neither the farm
nor the farm household had any but
minor dealings with the outside world.
Under such conditions the need for
accounts was slight. But those con-
ditions no longer exist. The farm
household, though still in many cases
receiving it's major support in farm
products consumed at home, purchases
far more extensively than ever be-
fore from outside sources. Farm house
hold accounts have become essential
to economy.
Household expenses on the farm are
very intimately associated with the
business of the farm itself. The farm
normally supplies much material
which otherwise would become a
household expense. The household, in
turn, very often furnishes board for
farm labor, which would otherwise be
a farm expense. Merely from the
standpoint OF keeping track Of house
hold expenses as related to the farm
business, household accounts are de-
sirable and should serve to supplement
and round out farm accounts.
Ways of Keeping Records.
There are two methods of keeping
e oil
One is to record the purchases or
money paid out without classifying
the expenditures. The other is to clas-
sify when the record is made.
The first method is very simple, re-
quires no special form, and gives all
necessary information regarding ex-
penditures. At the end of the month
or at the end of the, year the total
expenditures readily may be deter
mined. In order, however, to know
the totals for each kind or class it will
be necessary to make up a monthly
summary, in which the items will be
distributed in different columns, by
classes. This extra work at the end of
each month Tor at the end of the year)
of classification, with the result that
the greatest good that could be derived
from the records is not realized.
Under the second method, in addi-
ton to being entered all together in
one column, the items are classified in
separate columns. This method has
the same advantages as the first meth
cd and the additional advantage of al
lowing for the distribution of the items
of expenditure to the proper classes
without the Inconvenience of turning
to some other page. The distribution
may be left to moments of leisure If
the farmer is busy at the time the
entry is made. When the page is
filled the next page is begun. the top
line next to the heading being reserved
for the total carried forward from
preceding page. The items may be
totaled at the end of the month and
these totals carried to the summary
page at the end of the book.

Sheep raising primarily for mutton
production and secondarily for wool is
steadily advancing in this country. At
the present time 45 per cent Of the
sheep belong to those of the mutton
blood, 35 per cent to those of fine wool,

Ten years ago the mutton sheep were

Increase in Corr Flour.

1t is estimated that during the last
Is months the output of corn flour has
increased 500 per cent. There is now
enough cornmeal being turned out to
care for all demands in the United
States. The remarkable increase in
output, which is certain to become
greater each succeeding month, is due
in considerable part to the conversion
of much wheat-milling machinery into
