Miss Christine N. South, State
Home Demonstration Agent; Miss
Lois watkins, Piedmont District
Agent, and Miss Elizabeth Forney,
agent in Dairying, were visitors in
the county the past week. Miss
South and Miss Watkins we're here
to talk over the work with the coun-
ty agent and to help make plans for
extending the work.
Miss Forney remained in the coun-
I! for butter scoring at Oakway on
Tuesday afternoon and at South
Union Wednesday afternoon. On ac-
count Of the extremely hot weather
and the fact that most of our peo-
pie do not keep Ice, it was decided
to discontinue the scoring until Sep
tcmber
Many inquiries are coming in
about storing butter. One of the cas-
lest and most common ways is TO
store 1T in brine, as follows:
The wrapper Of the printed butter
is held in place by white cord pass
ed around each print, both length
wise and crosSwisc. These prints are
then packed in stone jar that has
been Scalded and cooled A large
plate should be placed on the butter
and weighted down with clean and
thoroughly scalded stones or bricks
Then cover the butter with brine
made by adding salt to water in the
proportion OF Il pound Of salt to four
pounds of water. The brine should
come about an inch above the sur
face Of the butter \ IO-gallon jar
will hold about 30 pounds Of butter
in prints. An extra supply of brine
should he kept on hand in scaled
containers and added to the butter
jar as the prints are removed or as
the brine cvapOrates.
The butter should be kept in as
cool IA place as possible, and the jars
should be covered so that the butter
cannot absorb any Of fruits and veg
etables stored near it.

a bandit trying to hold him up and
was not going to stop. When the
man in the car saw the woman and
baby, however, his fears were dis

them to farm house two miles
down the road.
There Martin secured the aid
of a number of harvest workers
who returned to the automobile with
him. Together they literally lifted
the stalled car out of tho mud. Re
turning to the farm house Martin

BOB MARTIN CRIED
WHEN He LOSES WAY
IN STATE MOUNTAIN
Feared For Safety Of d.
Month Baby.

Bob Martin, of Terra Alta called
by General John j. Pershing the
mightiest fighter of 30 million fight
ing men, one of the gamest scrap
rers VINO ever pulled on a glove and
one of the bravest soldiers who ever
sEouldered rifle, cried like a baby
when he was lost in the mountains
of West Virginia with his wife and
child week ago, he confessed to
a reporter for the Point Pleasant
Register, when he arrived in Point
Pleasant late last week to visit
relatives.
Bob made the trip from Terra
Alta to Point Pleasant in his auto
mobile coming by way of Charles
ton. Somewhere on Powell's noun
tain, the car stalled in a mudhole.
Then the trouble began.
Trudging over a wild mountain
trail through a wilderness infest-
ed with bears and rattlesnakes. with
no house within nine miles and
lightning tearing through a clouded
sky. Martin wept. And his wife
who walked gamely by his side, also
wept. They were both scared clear
through. But the fear was not for
themselves. In their arms they car
ried their four-months-old baby and
their terror and tears were all for
him
While crossing Powells mountain
Martins touring car sunk to the
axle in a mud hole. They sat in
the car for short time hoping
somebody would come along to help
them out. The trail is little travel
ed. however, and the travellers were
without food for the baby. When
he began to cry they decided to
start in quest Of a farm house.
Mile after mile they trudged
through tho mud hole and over
crags and bouldors, without seeing
any signs of civilization. Storm
clouds gathered in the west and
lightning rent the sky. For a long
distance Mrs. Martin carried the
labe at her breast She staggered
and fell several times. Bob took
the precious bundle from her. car
rying it in one arm and supporting
his wife with the other. AS they
were struggling through dense
woodland brave little woman look
ed up into the face of her husband
and said, Bob, aren't there bears
in these woods"
Martin told her there were none,
but he knew there were. Both were
crying, thinking not for themselves
but of their baby. With twilight
coming on and no building in sight
they feared the infant might die of
hunger and exposure. There was
also the threat Of bears but the huge
fighting man would have essayed
the role of Tarzan and grappled
with the beast red-handed to shield
his little brood.
After seven miles of walking
when they were nearly exhausted
and despaired they heard a ia
