tended to US an invitation to camp

Plains Pig-Club Lad To Bring
Home That Tractor If Someone
Doesn't Ruin All Past Records

can say is that the lady has i'm
proved in appearance, as well as
weight, in addition to bringing her
owner a fine brood of five young
pigs.
"Pigs is pigs" is a saying I've
heard all my life. And there was
a time when l believed it. But that
was before I saw "Shirley's Ideal'
and the other fine Durocs George
Marshall took me to visit yester-
day. All pigs amt fine pigs. Not
by a long shot. There are all
sorts of pigs-highbrows and low
brows among them, just as there
are among men. George Nlarshall
associates with highbrow pigs-all
of the other sort we saw on our
trip belonged to farmers who
haven't taken to his way of farm
ng yet.
But I can't tell all about the hogs
I saw yesterday. l only want to
tell you about "Shirley's Ideal"
That pig is some hog, and Stone
wall Shirley, her owner, an enthus-
iastic Sumter county pig club boy,
is some lad. Last year he secured
"Shirley's Ideal" and won a prize,
worth as much as the pig itself.
This year he expects-and be-
lieve he will-to win Fordson
tractor by exhibiting the sow and
her brood at the State Fair at Ma
con. Laying aside all of her long
pedigree, and estimating the worth
of "Shirley's IdeaP merely as pork,
that pig is easily worth 500 on any
butchers scales, and she's still TAX
ing on weight; she had fine brood
of five healthy and heavy young
pigs, any one of them worth $50
as pork, and the quintette capable
of producing within year no less
than 1875 fine hogs.
Figure it out for yourself. l
went with George with a tiny bit of
doubt in my mind as to whether
hog raising in Sumter county is a
profitable industry. I wondered if
it could be made to pay if engaged
in on a large scale. l realize that
cotton farmers n.ust seek some eth
er crop for Their large acreage. and
as | said, l wondered if hog rails
ing could be made to pay here.
I've made up my mind 90 that
question. Just figure it ont for

Gus will be made each day and any

plies, --l-
Program for the day will be post

Get Close Together.
We hope that the parents will
arrange for their boys to take this
outing next week. They are inter
ested and in order to do the very best
work we need every Scout on this
Camp, 1t is here that we get close
to each other and become real
Scouts.
The invitation extended to you to
visit us on Thursday evening is made
because we want you to come. Lay
aside something else and prepare
something real good to eat and bring
it down and let us show you how to
eat it. Our bill of fare on this trip
is mostly bacon and scrambled eggs,
and by Thursday night we will be
dreaming of chocolate cake, and all
those good things.
We need two or three tents, some
folding cots and a few cooking uten-
sis. If you have anything that you
can spare please phone us. We will
do the rest.
Your for a a good time next week,
SILAS JOHNSON,
Scout Com.

Adjutant.

CANNING SEASON
Manchester Housewives Are 10 Have
Their Canning Done This Way

Manchester Housewives Are 10 Have
Their Canning Done This Way
| Here are the plans for the commun-
ity canning kitchen.
For instance, when Mrs. Smiths
string beans and other vegetables be-
gin to grow so fast the family can't
eat them, Mrs. Smith will send John
Smith down to the canning kitchen in
one part of the creamery, and he will
take with him jars and the produce
just as it is picked from the garden.
At the canning kitchen the girls
will prepare the vegetables, blanch in
hot water, dip quickly into cold water
and then pack into clean jars. They
will next partially seal the jars and
place them in the steam pressure can
ner for the necessary length of time
At the end Of that time the jars are
removed from the Gamer, sealed and
placed on shelves to cool.
The next morning John Smith will
call for his vegetables and take them
home attractively canned in jars. He
will pay five cents for each pint, seven
cents for each quart jar, and ten cents
for each two-quart jar that was filled,
as well as one cent for each rubber
used on his jars.
Each jar that is brought to the
cannery should be labeled, preferably
with wooden tags marked with indel-
ible pencil. These tags may be wired
to the neck of the jars. Splints from
berry baskets make splendid tags, and
these may be used throughout the
season.
Everyone patronizing the kitchen is
urged to be very careful in labelling
everything in order to avoid confusion
at the kitchen.
II fruit is to be canned, the patron
should send sugar, and specify on a
slip how much sugar is desired to the
jar.
Rubbers will be furnished at a
cheaper price than can be purchased
at the store, and it is desired that no
rubbers be sent with jars,
Jars which are sent to be used
should be in good condition. No jars
will be used which do not seal prop
erly.
BE ready for the opening day, July
Sth. Have your vegetables ready TO
bring to the kitchen early in the
at least before 80 a. m.
The kitchen will be open Tuesdays
and Thursday after the Sth.
Plans are being made for collection
,f produce. Any volunteer assistance
n this would be greatly appreciated

This camp is open to any normal boy
above ten years Of age and the unus-
ually large number Of applications
which are being sent in from differ
ent parts Of the State indicate that
there will be full camp during the
whole season. A great number Of the
old leaders and boys are returning this
year, as well as the usual number Of
new ones, and the prospects were
never brighter for a most successful
and pleasant season at this ideal sum
mer place where the boys of the State
receive the benefits of an outing on
the shore Of Lake Champlain under
the best Of supervision, influences and
associations.

TO THE WOMEN
OF MANCHESTER

The response to the notice in the
Journal that many layettes must be
made during the coming two months
has been very gratifying. and yet
more workers are called for. The first
response came from two young women
who have no sewing machine but felt
that in this emergency they could
make one each by hand before the
time limit expired. No sooner were
the layettes to be made received than
one mother Of four little children, one
babe in arms, who has very delicate
health. decided that she would invite
friends in for an evenings sewing. and
she asked for five TO make under those

Observation of Plants.

There cannot be complete enjoy
ment from growing Towering plants
unless the gardener is sufficiently in
terested to watch them closely, OBJ
serving daily changes. trying different
experiments and carefully studying the
results. 1t is in this way we learn what
certain plants like best-light or heavy
soil, full exposure or partial shade,
abundant moisture or moderately dry
soil, what fertilizers produce the best
results, and so on.
When a lot of cuttings are made
and placed in the sun, the base of
the cuttings one after another turning
black and the cuttings "damping" off,
without the gardener trying the, pan
of cuttings in shaded place, the case
seems hopeless. A gardener of this kind
had better confine his efforts to few
sturdy geraniums or other equally ro-
bust, full-grown plants. ..., -,

TREE PUZZLE TO FORESTEKs
Peculiar Formation Of Spruce Has
Caused Speculation Among Men
.. Learned in That Lore.


A cross section of a great old spruce,
tree, from Alaska tells the story Of a
tree which executed spin, like q bal
let dancer. This cross section shows
a most peculiar spiral structure, which
has caused a great deal of speculation
among the various foresters through
cut the country and very interesting
explanation Is advanced in American
Forestry. ,a....:
II is known that tree growing at
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk dense reddish wood known as
"rotholz." This spiral in this case is
of such sort, and as it is a continuous
formation, winding from the center to
within half an inch from the circum-
ference, it is surmised that it was
growing in an inclined position on the
edge of glacier. where by some
shifting it was caused 10 rotate, so
that all sides of the tree were success
sively on the downward side. Thus,
az the tree grew, and its rotation con-
tinued slowly, the "rOtholZ" developed
into spiral.

hear the call-not call to the mar
ket place, nor to the seat of the
money changers; but the same clear
call that his master had made 1000
years ago to the humble fishermen
by that same sea.
Taylor says it was a divine call
and a divine inspiration that came
to him there; and, like the fisher
men of old, he needed it, and
"straightway followed him"
Doubt Departs.
Immediately all doubt departed,
his mind cleared and a vision Of
what he should do came to him. It
was a stupendous thing. When later
he outlined it to the church people
of America the immensely of it
staggered them. 1t was, in short, a
plan to rebuild the world to con-
form to the teachings of Jesus Christ
to make the world a christian de-
mocracy.
And so, with that plan working in
his mind, he fastened back to Am
erica, declined the $4,000 a year
job and called together the leading
men in every protestant denominat-
ion in a great conference in Garden
City, n. Y. Out of this conference
grew the interchurch' world move
ment which contemplates the spend
ing of $500, 100000 to reconstruct
the world on the basis of the christ
ian fundamentals as proclaimed by
Jesus Christ in the sermon on the
Mount.

NEIGHBORs PLOW TWO FIELDS.
Sick Farmers Crops Saved by Madi-
son County Christians.

Winterset, Ia.-Last March Carl
Driscoll moved on rented farm
eight miles southeast Of Winterset,
in Scott township. Driscoll was a
stranger in that part of the county.
The wet weather came on and he
got little work done. In April he
got down with the flu, and week
later he was attacked by pneumonia,
from which he eventually recovered.
So far as raising a crop was con-
cerned it looked gloomy to Driscoll.
One morning while he was yet in
bed recovering from pneumonia a
bunch of neighbOrs drove into his
yard with planters, gang plows and
sulky plows, harrows and discs,
drawn by fifty-seven horses. By noon
they had forty acres plowed and the
next morning ats O'Clock 1t was all
planted to corn. Some neighbors!
Sam Young, another man in that
neighborhood, had forty acres OF
rented corn land all planted. While
the rains fell Sam could not pillow his
corn, and pneumonia hit him be-
fore he could turn q row. Hired help
could not be found. There was no
such person as hired hand loose
in the township. 1t looked bad for
Sam. Prospects for corn crop were
poor. "a
One morning when the weeds
were about to drown the corn fif-
teen cultivators drove into the gate
and in few hours Sans corn crop
was as clean as any in the township.
