Total Irlinse Coming

The total eclipse of the moon, sched-
uled for Thursday night, is the only to-
tai eclipse which will be visible this
year in the western part of the United
states. At S:57 p. m, Pacific time, ac-
ccrding to astronomical predictions,
the moon will befin to enter the outer
shadow of the earth but it will not be-
gin TO pass into the real shadow until
1e.O9 p. m, when the shadow will be-
gin to show on the rim of the moon
and will slowly advance across the
moons face until 11:23 y. m. when the
moon will be completely within the
shadow and the eclipse will be total
This will continue, it is predicted, un-
til 1905 a. M, when the bright rim
will slowly become visible on the side
of the moon first eclipsed and by l:2G

door and the finished sirup flows out
near the chimney. Impurities should
be skinned eff as they appear in boil
ing. These skimmings make good
feed for hogs unless unhealthful sub
stances have been used in Qualification.
One of the most difficult tasks in sirup
manufacture is to remove the impuri-
ties. The thicker the sirup the longer
these take to settle and the harder it
is to filter them out. Some makers
prefer to boil to a comparatively thin
Slrup, pass it through Il filtering me-
lium, and then rcboil to he proper
density.
The finished sirup should contain at
least 70 per cent of solids and not
more than 80 per cent water, which
gives it a weight of about II Ia lbs
to the gallon, when at the tempera-
ture of 60 Fahrenheit. Water at the
sea level, under ordinary conditions,
boils at 212, and sirup to give the re-
Quired density boils at 2237 under the
same conditions. Altitude and other
factors lower the boiling point, and
the rule followed by sirup makers is
to finish sirup at boiling point IL to
13 higher than that of water

graduated scale on its surface. Di-
rections for use are usually inclosed
with the instrument when purchased.
This instrument is also used by GUS
tom manufacturers to show the sugar
content of raw juice.
Filters May Be Used
When the sirup has reached its re-
quired density it should be quickly re-
moved from the fire and cooled. If
skimming and filtering has not been
carefully done during the boiling pro-
cess there will be impurities remain
ing which are difficult of removal
Most Of this substance will settle to
the bottom if the sirup is allowed to
stand for a time. Sand, asbestos, and
excelsior filters also are used.
Sorghum sirup customarily is mar
kcted in tin containers with screw
tops. The cans should be thoroughly
scaldcd before using.

the years cotton crop, most of the
credit for the noticeable turn in the

mand, the theory runs, but definite
word of lean yield dictated the in
creased price for cotton and started
a rally that bids fair to sprca.,

that Mr.. Mellon said exactly what

WORLD WAR VETERANS, NOTICE

When the clean up squad reaches
Sumter at Court House on September,
28th to get action on the claims of
veterans of the World War, it's big
gest problem will be to get in touch
with every eX-service man in this ter
ritory, who has right to government
al compensation.
The squad is composed of experts
from the various government bureaus,
the Red Cross and the American Le-
gion. They are familiar in every de-
tail with the workings of the War
Risk Insurance Act, and various fea-
lures of the dicerent plans of hospital
treatment, medical care and rehabili-
they establish personal touch with
the veterans, they are prepared to put
machinery in motion at once to get
for them what is coming to them from
the government. In this work they
have every assurance of whole hearted
cooperation by the authorities in
Washington.
The plan of campaign of the Squad
contemplates the avoidance of leng-
thy correspondence and annoying, time
killing red tape, by getting at first
hnad all information as to each indi-
vidual veterans case and the ma
chinery is well oiled to get results
once it is put in motion.
However, the greatest problem that
confronts the workers is the estab-
lishment of personal contact with the
men they would serve. Many of the
deserving of government aid, are il
literates. They don't understand even
the meaning of compensation" ere
Mobilization" and vocational training
Many are located in isolated districts
where a newspaper is rarely seen.
These men would be tremendously
anxious to get the benefits Of the aid
that the government is glad to give,
if they knew that the Squad is right
at their doors to get it for them.
For this reason, the members of the
Squad ask that everyone who knows
of an cX-service man who may be en-
titled to aid, get in touch with him
and inform him rs to when and where
the Squad will be, and rs to what the
Squad is anxious to do for him. Squad
headquarters will be glad to receive
any information as to any veteran and
with him during its stay in Sumter
at Court House.
Disabled veterans who report to
squad headquarters will be furnished
with transportation back home and
meals and lodging as long as they
have business with the clean up cam
paign. 1t is necessary for every vet
cran to bring along his discharge.
In addition to local cases, The squad
will take up the affairs and claims Of

HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 30. -
Tentative recommendations for pro-
viding work for the nations unem-
ployed, estimated at 100000, were
completed today for submission to the
National Unemployment Conference
here.
The recommendations drawn up by
the conference steering committee
after consideration of the reports sub
mitted by the subcommittee, are said
to be based on the principle that un-
employment is in the main a prob
lem for solution by the individual
communities. the Federal and State
governments aiding in such way as
possible.
Establishment or representative
emergency committees in communi-
ties TO aid in finding employment for
those out OF work and to keep tabu-
lated records of jobs open was un-
derstood TO be recommended as the
initial step in the relief program.
