GREENSBORO
Hon. L. A. Jackson Dies After Long
Illness

This community was greatly sad
dened to hear of the death of Hon. L.
A. Jackson, one of its most prominent
citizens who passed from this life
last Tuesday night at 1890 o'clock
after a long illness with complica
ton of diseases. He was born in
Woodbury., Sept. 10Th, 1910, the son
of Israel S. and Clarissa T. Jackson.
He received his early education in
Hardwick, coming to Greensboro
when about Is years of age. He
taught school for six years in this
town and then took up farming, living
on two different farms in town. Lat
Ell he moved to the village where he
has since made his home. For many
years he was notary public and fire
insurance agent. For SO years he
was deputy sheriff and for IS years
served as town lister. He represented
the town twice in the House of Rep
resentatives at Montpelier and in
| 1902 was elected state Senator from
Orleans Co. He served on many inn
| portant committees in both the House
and Senate and was always con-
scientious worker. He was man
of great intelligence and ability and
many people looked to him for help
and advice. He was town moderator
for many years. In 1869 he married
Mary O. Simpson, who died in 1897.
From this marriage two children were
born, both of whom are living: Mrs.
Clara L. Fay of Westford and Will
S. Jackson of this place. In 1904 he
was married to Frances Babbitt of
| Greensboro, who survives him. The
funeral was held at his late home on
Friday at one o'clock p. M, and bu-
rial was in the village cemetery. He
was careful and conservative and al
ways ready to aid when aid was need
ed and a host of people both in the
town and out of it will miss his kindly
counsel, The people feel they have
lost friend.

because you cannot obtain sugar for
preserving purposes. Fruit can be
successfully canned without it and il
can be sweetened when served next
winter, or syrup can be used in pla ,
of sugar to sweeten it now.
To can without sugar, simply fill
the jars containing the fruit with
clean hot water, instead of the usu-
al syrup, and process the jars III q
hot water bath. The fruit will not
spoil, but it will not have quite as
fine a flavor and color as that which
is packed in syrup.
Directions for canning by the
"cooked-in-the-can" method should
be carefully followed to can success
fully without sugar, the United
States Department of Agriculture
suggests.
Fruits canned without sugar are
especially good in salads, desserts,
pie filings, ices and in fruit punches.
They can also be made into jams and
marmalades when sugar is obtai,i
able. Fruit juices take no sugar and
their uses are just rs varied during
the winter season as are the fruits
put up unsweetened. These fruit juic-
es are also available for jelly at
future time when sugar is more
plentiful. Vegetables need no sugar,
and plenty of canned vegetables aie
always acceptable during the winter
Fruit and vegetables may be high
and sugar scarce but the margin II
difference in price between the home
canned and the commercially canned
product is likely to be as great as
when both fresh fruit and vegetable
and canned goods were lower in
price. The wise are still practcing
home canning, sugar or no sugar.

CUT WOOD BY MACHINERY
AND SAVE ENGINES COST

Use of power machinery in prepar-
ing firewood will reduce labor require
ments TO a point where the farmer
should be able to get his wood ready
to burn without seriously neglecting
other work, says the United States
Department OF Agriculture. A great
many farmers already have gasoline
engines suitable for furnishing the
power for wood-sawing machines.
The saving machines themselves are
comparatively inexpensive and the
labor one saves will be sufficient to
pay for it long before it is worn out.
One outfit can do the work for sew
cral families each year. The pur-
chase of complete outfit, including
an engine to furnish power, may be
profitable for group of farmers or
for one who has an opportunity to
do custom work for his neighbors.
Where the cooperative plan is not
feasible, many farmers prefer to have
their wood cut with a hired outfit
rather than to purchase an individual
rig. The machines are sometimes
hired by the day or hour and some
times by the cord. IN cutting poles
or heavy wood that has not been put
into ccrdwood, the outfit is usually
hired on a time basis. When the
saw owner furnishes the fuel for the
engine and his own time, 81 or less
per hour is usually charged in the
eastern part of the country. If the
saw is kept busy wood can be cut at
the rate of at least two cords per
hour. Thus the use of a hired ma
chine for cutting wood will cost the
farmer less than so cents per cord.
In cutting cordwood the outfit is Of
ten hired at a fixed rate per cord.
Where the saw owner furnishes the
fuel and only his own time, the price
is usually 35 to SO cents per cord. If
a custom rig has a great deal of saw
ing to do every year the charges for
depreciation, interest, and probably
repairs will be considerably less per
cord than on the individual outfit.
Consequently, the custom outfit can
do the work at a price equal to or
below the cost of doing it with an
individual outfit and still return
profit to the owner.

takes out an insurance policy that he
can continue raising a variety of
corn that has proved it's merits. If
he neglects this opportunity of provi /
ing himself with a good supply of
the right kind of seed, he may have
to start over with a variety that he
knows nothing about, that may not
be adapted to his locality or his land,
that may bring with it some disease
or insect pest, and that, in any event,
he will have to experiment with for
several seasons before he knows what
it will do for him and what. he must
do with it.
WHERE EVERY DAY COUNTS
The saving of seed corn from
crop of the right kind is a matter
of importance everywhere, but more
particularly so in the northern por
ton of the country, That is where
the vicissitudes of the season are
most likely to bring about a soft
crop. There, also, low vitality means
the heaviest handicap. The South,
with its long-growing season, might
sometimes afford a corn crop that
gets away to slow start, but il
the North every day counts, from
the time the corn is put in the ground
until the crop is safely harvested.
Anywhere, however, the saving of
the right kind of seed has a direct
and important bearing on produc-
ton.
The Department of Agriculture be-
lieves that every farmer can better
afford to take time, however much
his labor may seem to be needed
elsewhere, to select at least two
years supply of seed corn from this
years crop, than to run the risk of
being caught, spring after next, with
no suitable corn to plant, with the
resultant delay, annoyance, and
actual reduction of yield. The day
or so that the farmer puts in select
ing his seed corn will probably be
the most profitable days work he
does in the whole year.

The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the country it is we'll
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort Of corn that a
fellow can bank on for a good stand
and big yields.
But it takes time to select seed
corn. You are busy. Some other job
is calling you before you finish the
one you are at. You can guess you
will not take the time to select any
seed corn to speak of.
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead little. Imagine that it
is the spring of 1921. The year 1920,
say, was poor corn year. Frost
came early and nearly all of the corn
was soft. You haven't any that is
fit to plant. The busy spring season
is at its busiest. A score of things
are calling to be done at once. You
have to hitch up the horse or crank
the car and start securing the coun-
ty for some man who has crib of
old corn. Probably you fail to find
him and have to wait while the
county agent or somebody "sends
down south" and gets you some hard
corn to plant. Some waste of time
connected with that process, isn't
there? After you get it, perhaps it
is unadapted to your locality and
yields a poor crop of immature corn.
SAVE FOR TWO OR MORE
YEARS
That is one of the reasons why
the corn experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture
urge farmers to select out of this
years crop enough seed corn to meet
their needs for two or three years.
No farmer, particularly in the north
ern portion of the United States, has
time not to do it.
Still, the mere saving of time is
not the only reason. By getting two
or three years supply of seed corn
out of crop like this, the farmer

BUY SMALL TOOLS IN ONE
LOT; TIME TO LIST THEM

Few farmers realize the extent of
their investment in small items of
equipment, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, or the in
convenience involved in buying them
singly or in small lots. In planning
the farm equipment, due considera-
ton should be given to the necessary
outlay for these minor tools.
There is no better time for getting
the list completed than the late fall,
after harvest work is over. If posi-
BILE, the articles should be purchased
all in one order. This will save time
and, usually, money. Also, it will en-

large to impress the buyer with the

N. M. MORRIS TO GIVE
UP COUNTY WORK

We learn that Mr.. N. M. Morris
will soon resign as Superintendent of
roads for Cobb county, and will take
up dredge and canal contract work.
He will do general drainage work
under the name of Morris Construc-
ton Co. He was the successful bidder
for the work on the Powder Springs
Creek, work to be started soon, and
will have equipment to put through
other work.
Mr.. Morris has held the office of
Road Supt. for more than two years
to the satisfaction of both citizens
and officials of the county, and it is
with regret that they see him retire
from the service of the county.
AS his resignation is not yet in the
hands of the county board it is too
soon to speculate upon his probable
successor.

Weekly Health Talks
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
nv FRANKLIN DUANE. MI
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D.

It can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end IN the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor. digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose of the food you eat,
tronbles begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis arc almost as common.
There Is but one way to have good health,
and that isato put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy to DO II you

distinguished a physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are

doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get temper
ance medicine that contains not drop OF

DIR. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable ingredients-without the use OF
alcohol-so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.

quick relief it gives is hard to believe until

new DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE:

If the newspapers are to survive
the war and conditions growing out
of the war they must write a new
declaration of independence.
They have been browbeaten, bull
dozed and ridden so long by the vari.
Gus governemnt agencies that if they
are to survive and expand they must
adopt new methods. The press must
subscribe to new birth of free
DOM" They must have "league of
nations" of their own making. If the
newspapers continue in the old rut
if they continue to be ridden and
abused by everybody with cause to
promote or propaganda to spread,
bankruptcy is only little way off.
Any publisher can name off-hand a
score of government agencies that do
not hesitate to call on the press for
free publicity on the ground that ''it
will be of interest to your readers"
The churches, the politicians, manu-
facturers and others who want free
publicity do not hesitate to call on
the press to spread their "propagan-
da" and "isms."
Patience has long ceased to be a
virtue. The only thing on earth a
newspaper has to sell is its advertising
space and subscription. If it does not
get a living out of these things, the
living simply does not come. We have
never heard of merchants being ask
ed to donate their merchandise. The
newspapers have been abused SIM
ply because they allowed it.
In this connection it might as well
be stated that Georgia has number
of "job printers" who call themselves
editors. They are victim of cir
cumstance. Any number of Georgia
papers use the free publicity sent
them to "fll up" because they are
too lazy to do the work necessary
to give their readers the clean, whole
some, local news in which the people
are interested.
What every newspaper Office needs
is more backbone and more nerve
the grit and determination to do the
right thing regardless of results. The
press must pay more attention to its
own business and give less heed to the
wall of the politicians. The free pub
licity nests must be weeded out. These
things can be done by adhering to
business principles, by demanding a
square deal, by refusing to be coerc-
ed, ridden or bulldozed by the govern
ment or any other agency.-Jackson
