MAY FIRE DAMAGE
TOTAL OF $2,125
Barber Shop Blaze Accounts
for Entire Loss for Past
Month

A fire loss of $2,125, all in a single
fire, was reported for May by Fire
Chief e. T. Shepherd today. There
were two alarms in the city, both of
them fires, but one so insignificant
as not to justify any record. In May
last year the loss was $3.50 in three
fires.
The total fire loss for the year
stands at $4,045, compared with $9,153
for the corresponding period a year
ago.
In addition to the actual fire loss in
the city, which was the blaze that
damaged the City Barber Shop, there
were two fires with an aggregate loss
of some hundreds of dollars just out
side the city limits at North Hender-
son. The firemen answered alarms for
four fires outside the city limits, dur
ing the month.

$1,000 in May last year, and $1,000 in
April of this year.
The statistics, of course, do NOT 20

Cotton Crop Now

DELAYED termination, while other sec
tons have had rather cold and wet
soil conditions. Growers in many cOas-
tai counties report an excellent stand
while in the Piedmont area the stand
is considerably off due in part to dry
conditions and in some instances to
very poor quality Of seed"
In 1896 North Carolina produced
$4,000 (5OO-pound) bales of cotton,
compared with $4,000 produced in
1885. The yield per acre was estimat-
ed to be 298 pounds of lint compared
with 294 harvested the year before.
The Department of Agriculture es-
timated that the 1886 crop was re-
duced % per cent from full crop or
normal yield per acre from causes
such as weather, diseases and insects,
Of the reduction, Ii per cent was lost
due to deficient moisture as cOmpar-
ed with four per cent from this cause
in 1885. which reflects the excessive
drought conditions in the Piedmont
counties and some coastal areas.
Only four per cent of the total loss
of cotton last year was attributed to
the boil weevil as compared with nine
per cent from this past the year be-
fore, Rhodes reported, adding that on
ly two per cent of the loss was at
tributed to plant diseases. The remain
der of the reduction was the result
in some sections, of excessive mois-
ture, insects other than boil weevil
and other climatic conditions.
The $4,000 acres in cultivation on
July 1, 1886, was SO per cent more
than was planted in 1885, and the $751;
600 acres harvested showed an aban-
donment of IL per cent.

sion. and at which Senator Reynolds
was one of the honor guests, are con-
WINGED that "Our Bob" already has the
inside track and is going places fast.
They point out that the political elite
of several counties, including Arson,
were present at the barbecue and
that almost without exception these
men assured Senator Reynolds of
their support, also told him he would
be renominated without any trouble
probably without any opposition.
ut is always interesting to watch
Bob Reynolds in action-and it was
especially interesting to watch him at
this barbecue" a man who was there
Saturday afternoon said. There were
between 500 and 600 men there and
Bob knew almost every one of them
by the name, from the younger ones
on up to the old men with whiSkerS-
and most of them king bees in their
communities All of those men have
some back home and started working
for Bob already, for he knows how to
make friends and to win their con-
fidence."
The opinion is growing in many cir
cles here that Congressman r. l..
Doughton, for a time regarded as a
potential candidate against Reynolds,
will not run and that Reynolds may
not have any opposition at all.

Boiled Coffee

Use 2 level tablespoons of coffee
to each standard measuring cup of
water, plus an extra one for the
pot. Put it into the pot, add enough
cold water to make paste. Add
boiling water, bring to a boil. Stir
thoroughly, bring to boil again,
add a dash Of cold water to help
settle the grounds and take off the
fire. Let settle. Continued boiling
causes the aroma and flavor to es-
cape and makes a bitter and UNI
pleasant drink. A whole egg may
be mixed with the coffee and water
paste, which clears the coffee more
quickly.

pazkling appearance, a delicious
azuma and fragrance, is free from
any unpleasant bitter taste and
ccntains a minimum of sediment.
The first rule for making good
euffee Is to keep the coffee-making
evice absolutely clean and free
nun odor. To keep the pot alb
nlutely clean, wash it well with
IT soap suds and rinse with clear,
1t water each time it is used.
The second rule is to always
neaaure the coffee and the water,
ing standard measuring utensils.

used or increased to suit the fam

Tho Romance of Coffee

Few Of us stop in the rush OF
the daily routine, to consider the
rmantic origin Of some of the
mater ais and foodstuffs in the
home. Coffee, for instance, has q
very romantic and interesting ORR
ein and history. It is said that
long, long ago an Arab boy, while
lending his goats. was astonished
20 see them begin to skip and dance
ahout. He ran over to the goats to
find them eating the berries OF a
Wild shrub. He sped to a nearby
Monastery and told the abbot what
had happened. The abbot went with
him and watched what took place.
he then gathered some Of the ber-
riee, took them home and had a
brew served to his monks who often
fell asleep over their nightly cere-
monies. He was delighted with the
result.
Coffee was first used as a food
then as medicine and later be-
came very popular as a drink. At
first only the dried hull was used,
then later it became the custom to
ty and roast the bean. Coffee
houses became very popular in Nee
q and Cairo as early as 1911, and
soon spread to other parts OF
Europe. The coffee houses of Lon
don which sprang up in the seven
tenth and eighteen the century
have become famous in history and
literature, as a gathering place for
celebrities and noted characters Of
history. They we're such centers of
Wit and learning that they were
called the penny universities"
Coffee houses also became popu-
hr In America. The Green Dragon
IN Boston was one Of the most ia
nous and was political and social
center for 1876 years from 1897 to
ls23.
Brewing coffee IS an art. GAS he
hrews, so shall he drink" said Ben
Johnson.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1937-04-08
Percolated Coffee

Put measured coffee into the
basket and required cups Of water
IN the pot. Put on fire, and when
1t begins to percolate, turn down
heat until the water just bubbles
through. Percolate from S to 10
minutes, depending on your own
percolator. Do not boil violently,
as this gives much boiled brew
that is very bitter and has lost all
Of its aromatic flavor.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1937-04-08
Coffee Methods

There are three methods of MAX
coffee - the drip method, by
mg, and by percolating. The
UP method is preferred by many,
II brings the water in contact
sRn the coffee the shortest length
q ume and thus extracts the max
nun OF flavor and aroma and the
mlmllm OF bitter taste. However,
~ coffee can be made by boiling
~ percolating also. The Slick
tnod has become popular lately
