PARIS. July 21.-The decision Of
the French Federation Of Labor to

the chamber of deputies that not only

Thousands of American women
canned fruits and vegetables for the
first time last year because they want
ed to do their part toward winning the
war. The war Is won, but as much or
more canning will be done this year.
Families that enjoyed home-canned
garden products last winter are not
enthusia site over a return to the groc-
cry store variety. Commercial can
neries have an important place in the
American economic world, but the
average commercially prepared prod
uct does not equal in flavor the best
home canned fruits and vegetables.
Financially the woman who canned
felt she was well repaid. for she saved
the cost of labor which canned the
store product as we'll as the profit the
Gamer, middleman and grocer made.
A short while ago this saving would
have seemed Of little moment but the
American people have learned thrift
the last year or two. With every
commodity advancing in price. ways of
economizing are receiving much atten-
ton. Home canning is one OF the
most popular methods Of reducing the
high cost of living.

Cooked-in-the-Can Method Favored.
The main reason why home canning
will stay in favor is that the cooked
in-the-can method, which has been
used extensively the last few years,
has been found by many to be moro
satisfactory than the old open-kettle
way of canning.
Up to ten years ago, practically all
home canning had been Of the kind
where the fruit or vegetable was cook.
ed in the kettle and put in the jar
while hot. Large numbers OF house
keepers, after repeated failures with
this method, gave up canning alto
gether. The contents Of too many jars
spoiled for 1t to be economical, and
the task was hot and sticky. To these
housewives the newer way, by which
the fruit or vegetable is put into the
jar cold and then the jar and contents
processed, has proved a real boon.
, With the cooked in the kettle method,
Gamers found that few vegetables, ex-
cepting the acid ones, would keep.
Cooked In the can, according to direc-
ions, vegetables keep we'll.
With this method Of canning, which
is recommended by the U. S. Depart

Control Of Squash Bugs
r. w. WesIer, Garden Supervisor

+. w. Wesler, Garden Supervisor
Squash bugs are hard shelled dark
brown insects that gather on vine
crops such as cucumbers, melons. and
squash and will quickly destroy plants
thru sucking life juices from the
leaves. These bugs are very hardy
and it is rather difficult to control
them with any spray material now in
use.
The best way to get rid of the pests
is to lay small boards between the
rows of plants in the garden and early
in the morning life up these boards
and capture and destroy the squash
bugs hiding beneath them.
If this is kept up for several days,
most of the bugs will be captured, al
though it is best to keep up this prac-
tice frequently thruout the summer.
The adult squash bugs Will lay eggs
on and around the plants and the
young will prove even more destruc-
tive than their parents. They may be
killed in the same manner as explain
ed above and many may also be des-
troyed by the use of nicotine sulphate
to a gallon of soapy water.

Neighbor Smiths were ready to eat.
Thousands of families discovered last
year that green corn freshly pulled
and green corn that had left the par
ent stalk several days before were
quite different. Grocery bills, too,
shrank. Even a comparatively small
garden produces many dollars worth
of green things measured by retail
prices, and it is very handy to have
them at your door.
The surplus from the gardens found
its way into cans. That was the house
wifes part, although, to be sure, in
many homes 1t was the son or daugh-
ter who attended to the canning, dry

man who thought canning was old
fashioned suddenly awoke to the fact
that she herself was out of date.

ONE CENT POSTAGE.

Senator Dial has introduced a bill
in the house of representatives to
make local or drop" letter postage
one cent. This was the rate before
Hohenzollern tried to rule the world,
and doubtless Senator Dial's wish will
eventually come true. There have
been numerous arguments in the past
for general one-cent letter postage,
but this is probably for in the dis
tance, while one-cent drop letter
rate may come at any time.
The matter of one cent on letters
will not elicit the interest, however,
that reduction in any one of num-
Der Of other necessities might, but
will be welcomed, nevertheless. The
things that ought to come down are
the things that men must have. A
letter isn't necessary, after all The
message can be taken in person and
thereby save even the one cent, but
the shoe leather so worn out, at the
prices prevailing, would cost u quar-
ter. That would be false economy
And false economy may be seen often
in the reduction Of the price of things
which don't matter. while the neces-
saries of life continue to soar.

A SUGAR FAMINE.

1t has next to impossible to buy
sugar in Lancaster during the past
two or three weeks, the merchants
not being able to get supply at any
price What has been sold here has
brought the price of thirteen cents the
pound, but the consumer has asked
no questions as to price, being willing
to pay almost any price to get it. and
the merchants who have had it in
stock have apportioned it out to their
customers in small lots.
Possibly to some extent the famine
is due to the fact that the United
States recently sold to France among
other war material twenty-five million
pounds of sugar. This statement is
made by the Hartman National Bank
of New York in paid advertisement
in a New York paper. The advertise
ment said: 'It is obvious that inquiry
need go not far to discern that the
high cost of living is in great meas
ure due to the inefficic2"v of official

Possibly mismanagement has to do
with the sugar shortage, Dut The

THE PRESIDENT IMPROVES.

1t is good news the people get from
the bedside of the president. He has
been permitted for several days past
to attend to some business from his
bed, and while the doctors insist this
is no sign of decided improvement
in the presidents condition, the coun-
try will take it as such, anyway.
The stories circulated as to the
presidents condition were ridiculous
in the extreme. Once it was said his
mind was affected; again. he had suf-
fered stroke of paralysis, and many
other stories equally as groundless.
The truth is the president was broken
down from hard work and had to
have a rest, and we believe, if it had
not been for the doctors, he would
have been going yet.
Continued Improvement in the con.
dition of the president is doubtless ex-
pected by DR.. Grayson, but there has

Effort to Eyade Law.
(Kershaw Era)

Already we are reading reports in
the papers of persons trying to defy
the provisions of the compulsory
school attendance law. But the at
tendance officers seem to be undertak-
ing to discharge conscientiously and
fearlessly in the interests of the chill
dren whose parents are trying to
cheat them out of their education and
trying the impossible task of making
the public believe that they are de-
pendent upon their children between
the tender years of eight and IA for
living.
We believe that one good effect of
every evasion or partial construction
of the terms of the law is going to be
the stiffening up of it's provisions and
the more rigid enforcement of it. And
then after it has been in operation
long enough to show that instead of

Sweet Potatoes.

Ni'diH D'TS litTdiuD
1naSmuch as other crops than cot
ton have now become a necessity in
the county, many farmers are inves-
tigating the possibilities of the sweet
potato as money crop. The Difficult
ty is. as we understand it, that pota-
toes have not been properly cured
for the market in this section. The
old plan of banking potatoes is ali
right for home use. but such potatoes
cannot be marketed because they rot
quickly after being taken from the
banks.
Some interest has been aroused in
the county because OF the suggestion
that tobacco barns can be used ia
cure sweet potatoes. This appears to
be new suggestion and has not been
thoroughly tried out. Some OF the
farm experts who have recently Wis
tied Bamberg county are OF the opin
ion that these barns may be used for
this purpose by making some slight
changes without in any way damaging
the barn for the purpose for which /,
was built
The farm demonstration service Is
now at work on the idea, and the re
suits OF investigations along this line
will be made known through the
county agents at an early date.

MONROE HAS ANOTHER EXPLA

From the Monroe Journal comes a
challenge that "for the same grade
Of cotton sold at Lancaster, the Mon
roe market will pay as much or more"
than Lancaster has been paying.
"The cotton raised in Chesterfield
and Lancaster counties is worth a
cent pound more than staple raised
in this section says the Journal.
All OF which may or may not be true.
we are no judge Of cotton, but we
have never heard of North Caro-
linian being willing to admit that
something better than IL can raise is
raised in another state. The Journal
has probably unknowingly made n
serious admission in this respect
We hope the Journals assertion Is
true. for that leads us to believe that
Lancaster county is a little better
than some Of the adjoining counties
lying, principally, to the north Of us.
The Journal quotes a monroe cot
ton buyer as follows: Farmers who
raise that grade OF cotton can really
get more for it here than in Lancaste.
because there is more competition be.
