Canning Kitchen Reduces
Work During Busy Season

Community canning kitchens are
no longer in the experimental stage,
but are established and highly re-
garded institutions in the many To-
calities which have had the wisdom
and foresight to erect them.
Fruits and vegetables have the
unfortunate habit, of coming into
their fullest bearing right when the
season Is hottest and the housewife
busiest. The added task of putting
UP the winters supply of fruits
and vegetables seems often "the last
straw" to the already overwhelmed
woman. Yet there is much more
fruit ripening in the garden than
can possibly be used while it is
fresh. So she gets. out her cans.
Most women freely admit that can
ming is not particularly hard work in
itself. The difficulty is, it must be
sandwiched in between numerous
regular tasks.
Help Difficult to Obtain
1t is almost impossible nowadays
to obtain help in the home; so, es-
pecially in their homes where there
are small children, as much work as
possible must be sent out to relieve
mother. A community canning
kitchen, either of the type to which
members may bring their products
to be canned at a fixed price per
can or that in which members work
in groups on special days with the
help of modern large-scale equip
ment, saves garden products which
would otherwise waste because the
housewives of the locality have not
time or. strength to can them. 1t
unable to conserve for themselves.
and relieves the pressure of work
in the home at a busy season.
Various types of canning kitchens
are in use today in different parts of
must be adapted to the needs of
the locality. Usually much more is
canned in one of these kitchens than
the families interested in it can use.
1t is customary to sell this surplus
expenses.
Financing the Enterprise
Some working capital is needed at
the outset for the purchase of ade-
qua;te equipment: Expenses for rent;
miscellaneous items. too, must be
met for some time before returns
can be realized from the products
canned. 1t Is therefore necessary to
make definite plans for financing the
kitchen, based on a careful estimate
Of probable expenses. Community
kitchens have been financed in vari-
GUS ways-for example, by school
boards. by boards of trade, by bust
ness mems associations, by loans
from banks or from individuals, and
by membership fees. Direct gifts
from individuals Or small group of
persons is, perhaps, in the end, the
least satisfactory method. The mem
bership-fee idea is the best, in the
ment Of agriculture, which is advo-
catin community canning kitchens.
The selection of a building and
its equipment should be considered
Jointly, for the type of equipment
frequently depends upon the sort of
building to be used Since a pri

Dear Miss Mary: I am coming to
you for some advice. I am a widow
with three children and am in love
with a .widower with three child
rem. My children are two boys and
0ne girl and his are three boys. Mine
are all older than his. If I marry
him do you think we would be hap
Ply. Thanking you for your advice.
Carrie Lou: I do not see any
reason why you cannot marry
the widower, if you desire it, you
can train your children to re-
spect him and then too you will
be able to get along if you will
treat his children with the same
consideration that you will treat
yours. And if the man will do
that, you two will get along.
But unless you do, there will be
trouble, and both you and he
will be very miserable, and the
poor children will have it hard
est of all. Fifty-fifty treatment
all the way through, is the only
way you can handle the situa-
ton.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-06-05

each other first though before
you enter the marriage contract.
I am coming to you for advice as
I have been reading your advice to
other girls for some time. l am
seventeen years old. Do you think
1 am too young to go with boys? L
will tell you to start with that I am
not in love with the boys, but there
is a young man twenty-four years
than any girl he ever saw. He has
proven it. He is a very nice boy
and my parents like him very much,
but 1 simply do not care anything
about him. I treat him coldly but
it does no good. Do you think am
right?
1 am considered good-looking and
have lots of girl and boy friends.
am corresponding with one of my
school chums l have not seen him
in long time. He tells me that he
loves me dearly and asked me to be
his wife, but I told him 1 was too
young to marry him. He is twenty
one. Did 1 do right? I like him
very well as friend but I am really
not in love with him. He says he
can never be happy without me.
Thanking you for advice, your new
friend, LONESOME STAR.
Lonesome Star: You are young
you may have many admirers,
and it is not doing yourself JUS
tice to marry the first one who
asks you just because he happens
to say he is in love with you.
My advice is this, never marry
man unless you care a great
deal for him and you are per-
fectly sure you can live with
him happily, because marriage
is so serious and you cannot get
rid of your husband so easily,
his disposition and habits may
be a source of annoyance to you,
and unless you can forgive him
and have enough love in your
heart to forget his shortcomings,
both of you will be miserable. If
you are not in love with any
one, why not wait awhile until
you get older, just keep the d
friendship of these men and tell
them honestly you are not in
love and you are willing to be
friends with them, but nothing
more. Oftentimes men write
lot of love stuff to girls just to
fill their heads with nonsense.
Some men think it smart to teN
a girl they are in love with her,
just to see if she will act silly
over them.
