RED CROSS WORKERS WANTED.
THIS MEANS YOU!

Every woman and girl who is able
to get to town, is hereby notified to
come to the Red Cross work rooms
and register for definite service. A
record will be kept of the work done
by each one for each day.
With the drafting of millions of men
into the army comes also an enormous
amount of Red Cross work of all
kinds. There is sewing, knitting,
pressing garments, sorting articles.
packing all kinds of goods, etc. There
is work for everyone.
We have electric fans in the work
rooms. But don't be "tenderfoot,'
even if it is hot weather-it is no
hotter for US. than it is for the brave
men and boys in the camps and on the
battle fields, suffering, and thousands
of them wounded and dying, to de-
fend your home and mine from the
hand of the Beast Of Berlin.
Can YOU stay at home and be a
Stacker? No! In the name OF all that
is loyal, noble, and merciful, arouse
from your indifference. There is
danger; and there is duty for you
to perform The work of FIVE
HUNDRED women can not be done by
fifteen or twenty working themselves
to death.
This is OUR Red Cross. This is
Government work. You must VOL
UNTEER or be DRAFTED. Don't
say you haven't time-you must take
time. The war must be won and it
can't be done with our people going
on just as if we were not waging a
terrible war.
All who are knitting, please bring
your knitting to the work rooms on
Wednesdays and Fridays. There will
be instructors to examine your work
and to give instructions, so that there
may be no mistakes made.

GIRL NEAR FAYETTEVILLE
KILLED.

Fayetteville, June 24-Miss Brucie
Osborn, aged Ia, was killed by shot
from revolver in the home of her
step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
B. F. Clemens, near Fayette Junction
Sunday morning about 7:30 o'clock.
Sheriff Morton, who investigated the
death, said there was little doubt that
the killing was accidental and self
inflicted, one current story being that
the girl was in room with three
cousins and she snapped the pistol,
believing it was not loaded. 1t is not
known whether further investigation
will be made. Funeral services were
held this afternoon at Dowell's Chapel.

Interesting Experiments at the College
Of Agriculture Show What Pre-
servatives Are Best.
BY S. r. Stout, Assistant Poultry Illus
bandman, Arkansas Experiment Sta
ton, University of Arkansas

During the fall and early winter
eggs are very scarce and high-priced.
Therefore. We should preserve for win
ter use in the best possible way all
eggs not used fresh in summer. There
are number of methods employed for
preserving eggs, some of which are
water glass, lime water, salt, vaseline
and patent preservatives.
Last June an experiment was started
at the Arkansas Experiment Station to
ascertain the efficiency of different
egg preservatives that were available
at that time. Seven different preserv-
atives were used, namely: Water glass,
lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee, f.
r., and Flemings' egg preservatives.
The water glass was prepared by
boiling nine quarts of clean water and
then, after it had been allowed to cool.
one quart of water glass was added.
The solution was wen mixed and set
aside for short time. The solution
was poured from one vessel to another
until the solution was wen mixed and
cold. The eggs were placed in the
water glass the same day they were
laid and stored in basement room.
The lime water was prepared in
much the same way as was the water
glass. The eggs were placed in a sat
urated solution which was made by
shaking small amount of quick lime
in small quantity OF water. The
milk of lime obtained was added to
/ five gallons of clean, fresh water. This
solution was well mixed and above d
to settle. The liquid was then drawn
| on, and when il became cool was
/ poured into earthen crooks. The eggs
were placed in the solution as soon as
they were gathered.
The eggs placed in the salt were
packed in common salt small end
/ down. Those preserved in the patent
preservatives were preserved accord.
/ ing to the directions which accom-
panied the preservative. The vaseline
was applied in much the same way as
was the patent preservatives, hy plac.
/ ing small amount of vaseline in the
1 palms of the hands and rubbing each
egg well, making sure the entire sur
/ face was covered. The eggs were all
placed in egg cartons and stored in the
same room with the water glass and
lime water and salt
After six months the eggs were
tested by the Home Economics De-
/ partment for their cooking qualities.
withs the following results:
Eggs preserved in water glass were
found TO resemble fresh eggs more
nearly than did any of the others.
! TEey We're suitable for cooking, MAX.
ir1g cus'ards and cakes. However.
/ they were not GOOD poaehed Those in
the lime water We're next in quality.
None of the others were as satisfac-
tory as the water glass and lime water.
There was no difference in the keep
ing qualities OF fertile and infertile
ercs, nor in the color Of the shell
However. this holds good only when
eggs are preserved the same day they
are laid; otherwise. infertile eggs are
more suitable for preserving.

Honor Living as Well as Dead.

While we are honoring the memory
of the Father of His Country" this
week let US not forget to give thanks
for the GREAT MAN who now occu-
pies the White House. Unlike George
Washington, Woodrow Wilson, instead
of being president of handful of COL
onies or embryonic States, he is at this
juncture practically the president of
all the nations of the earth, save the
Central Powers Of Europe. Let US
honor the living who deserve honor
and not heap it all upon the dead.

Man of High Ideals.

President Wilson never disappoints.
In every exigency he measures up to
the expectation of the American peo-
pe. In addition to his greatness as a
statesman, being able to cope success
fully with the most difficult problems,
problems that would overwhelm and
crush the average man, he is a man of
noble impulse and lofty ideals. In short,
President Wilson is man of great
soul.
Recently he gave out a statement
from Washington urging the men in
uniform, officers of high rank as we'll
and the enlisted men, to observe the
Sabbath day and keep it holy. Unlike
the Kaiser of Germany, he does not
get upon the house top and with
disgusting egotism, placing himself
alongside the Deity in authority, refer
to the God that shapes the destinies of
nations, but in a quiet, unobtrusive
manner he relies upon Supreme
Power for strength and guidance.
Such a man as Woodrow Wilson Is a
safe man for nations as well as indi-
viduals to follow.

Children and Food Regulations.

Edgefeld children have been so ac-
customed to having an abundance OF
food that they do not quite understand
the wheatless, mea;less, ard other
dietary days. One bright little boy
says that when he. gets to be president
of the United States he is not going to
starve his people TO death. Another
little boy in remarking upon Mr..
Hoover's food restrictions, said: I'll
bet old Mr.. Hoover keeps his stomach
full all the time.
However. people everywhere are
falling in line very patriotically in obey
ing the food regulations. Many who
resented the pound-for-pouud flour reg
ulation at first are already convinced
that it is good law, even in time of
peace. 1t not only affords, or forces
upon people, balanced diet but en-
ables them to live cheaper. Mr..
Hoover's dietary restrictions are help
ing to solve the high-cost-of-living
problem.

The Marvellous AIM
Story.
Years Of Search End on Almost
Forsaken Farm in Mississippi.
MEDICINAL DISCOVERY
MADE POVERTY STICK
EN- FAMILY RICH.

Everybody knew iron was good
for people but to find it in medi-
cinal form like in Acid Iron Miner
al was where the trouble came, and
while chemists were making tine
lures, pills and tonics from ma
tallic iron' that was apt to ruin
teeth, upset peoples stomachs etc.,
a farmer by the name of Horn, al
most destitute, was barely getting
enough to eat for himself and fami-
" on his little farm down in Mis-
sissippi.
The windows to those lacked win
dow panes and in their place were
old bits of rags and clothing to
keep out the insects, cold and
drafts.
COLORED NAN FOUND IT.
Then one day darkey, old and
decrepit, blood diseased and slowly
dying with great sores upon his
limbs and body which it was
said could never be cured, started
digging a ditch and came upon this
great medicinal iron deposit buried
beneath marble-llke rock and clay
covering which sheltered it from
atmosphere and water down through
the unknown centuries since the
all-wise Creator put it there.
How the old darkey was cured
by contact with this mineral and
how that poor family near Hickory,
Mississippi suddenly became rich
through leasing this deposit for
ninety-nine years to the Ferro-
dine Chemical Corporation forms
another chapter of this wonderful
story.
Today, this Chemical Corpora
tion, with latest methods takes the
mineral and by a process of filter

to visit the nearest drug store and

Walt Holconnb Evangelistic
Party Coming to Edge
field.

Rev. Walt Holcomb, Nashville,
Tenn, and Rev. J. Douglass Swa-
gerty, Shreveport, La, are to be-
gin meeting in the Edgefeld Meth
odist church on next Sunday morn
ing. For many years Mr.. Holcomb
has been recognized as one of the
greatest evangelists in the South.
He has held many meetings in the
larger cities of the South and West;
perhaps his best known meeting in
this section was held at Spartan
burg, S. c., about two years ago.
Fifteen churches co-operated in this
meeting; over 1000 decisions were
made, and of this number CTS were
conversions.
The following account of meet
ing held in Clinton, Okla, about a
year ago was clipped from the
Clinton Chronicle, of that city, un-
der date Of March s, 1917:
"The Walt Holcomb Evangelistic
Party is now in the midst of a gra-
cious revival in this city. The night
services are being held in the First
Methodist church and the morning
service is held in the First Presbyte-
rian church. All the pastors and
churches are entering heartily into
the campaign. The largest congre-
cation ever assembled at religious
service in this city, greeted Rev.
Walt Whitcomb, the Evangelist,
Sunday night. For nearly an hour
Mr.. Holcomb held the great audi
ence as he preached on the "Sinful-
ness of SIM" The sermon created a
profound impression as evidenced
by the remarks heard upon the
streets the following day."
Mr.. Holcomb is one of the strong
est preachers in the South. He is
logical, authoritative, and at the
same time plain and simple in his
style. 1t is perfectly safe, to say
that there is no other evangelist in
the, field today that is Mr.. Hol-
combs equal from homiletic stand
point. In other words, Mr.. Hol-
comb breaches the Bible and Bible
truths instead Of lot Of 'junk" and
nonsense, as some evangelists have
habit. There is nothing sensa-
tional or OH the order of "clap trap
in his style or make up, but the
plain truth as he has habit Of eX-
pressing sometimes creates a genu-
inc sensation.
Mr.. Swagerty is the campaign or
ganizer and consecrated gospel
singer; under his leadership the
singing will be most pleasing fea-
ture OF every service.
The people Of Edgefeld and coun-
try surrounding, and the people
from the neighboring towns are cor
daily invited and urged to come and
share in the meeting.
