Proving The Proverb

Colonel Samuel Weatherby, a
Union Calvary officer and a valiant
fighter in the War Between the
States, was a great student OF
aphorisms and proverbs, favorine
his men with a pithy saying to
cap every occurrence. One day
Col. Weatherby and his hungry
company sought to run down and
slaughter four wild hogs with their
sabres, but without success.
Into the breach came some equal
ly hungry infantrymen, who de-
vised a rude enclosure out of some
loose fence rails. and into it drove
and i%ncarcerated the desperately
wanted porkers.

minded Col. Weatherby, "see
gentlemen, the pen is still mightier
than the sword!" - Wall Street

"An ear tuned to the weather

gardener much of the food he has
spent the summer in growing since
frosts can damage many crops

Edward X. Bender, County Garden
Agent.
Crops in small gardens can be
protected from light frosts by a
covering of burlap or other cloth.
For speedy harvest of pepper and
tomatoes, pull the entire plants
and take them indoors, where the
fruit can ripen on the vines or
they can be picked from the vines.

ii is best to dig sweet potatoes be-

sweet potatoes quickly if frost has

the dead tops may spread down
into the sweet potatoes under the
ground. White potatoes may be
left in the ground after frosts
have killed the tops, but not into
weather so cold as to freeze the

Turnips, beets, carrots and win

pit or barrel in your garden.
Cover the pit or barrel over with

these root crops in it.Then cover
these leaves with about 6" of
ground and as the weather be-
comes colder, more leaves and
ground should be placed over this
barrel. A door should be placed
en- this barrel so you will have
easy access to your vegetables at

will keep crisp in this barrel till

Reminiscing with one who was
an old neighbor of ours long ago,
we were reminded of the time
there was a thriving Free Metho-
dist Church near Avery, just off
the road which runs from Redland
to Norbeck. The only names we
Can remember as associated with
the membership are these of
Moody and Sankey Ray-wonder
if they are still living? Here is an
il cident we chuckled over many
times. ~ Father was one of the last
of the Old time millers of the coun-
ty. For many years he operated
Muncaster Mill, water powered
mill for the grinding corn meal
a1d feed for stock. During a year
Of drought, when the grass dried
Up it was necessary to grind feed
for the cattle-during the summer,
10 going to the store and buying
it in 1900--grain had to be put
through the mill So, when every
drop of water had to be utilized,
the mill was run for an hour or
two at night and sometimes on
Sundays if enough water had ac-
cumulated.
On Sunday there was little
water but the mill was running
badly. Poor dad, seeing the pre-
cious water running uselessly
away, was dashing around trying
to get the right adjustment, all
unmindful that folks were driving
by on the way to church, when
suddenly at his elbow a voice
asked sternly, "Brothcr, don't you
know this is Sunday?" Before dad
could answer the voice roared,
"Don't you want to go to Heav-
en-"
Being partly Irish and never
long at loss for a retort, father
turned and replied, "Well, now
lust don't know-if I should go to
Heaven it would be just my luck
for St. Peter to give me broken
down old mill and put me to
grinding angel food" Father did
lot know at the time he was talk
ing to "The Preacher" who, we
afterwards learned went on to the
church and had prayers for the
sinful miller
We like going to church much
better now that most preachers
fave adjusted themselves to the
changed times, and realize that,
FOR many persons, there is neces-
sity for work and recreation on

Negro Homemakers
Achievement Days

AS an annual affair to show to
its community the progress that
hiss been made yearly in the field
ef Homemaking, the Norbeck
Homemakers Achievement Exhibit
was held on October 10, 1916 at
the Community Hall.
In spite of inclement weather,
the homemakers and friends
responded very we'll by bringing
their products to be exhibited.
Mrs. Grace Estep, president,
was very proud of her home
makers because they made such a
fine showing of all types of
articles which were produced in
the home that would make the
nome more than just house.
In the fields of sewing, handi-
craft, canning, baking and flowers,
it was readily seen that the art
and skills are being we'll learned
and put into practice in their
homes. Their improvements are
due to the fact that the women
accept suggestions and criticisms
made by their Agent and Miss
Turner, Home Demonstration
agent from previous exhibits.
The men of Norbeck showed,
TOO, that they made achievement
by placing products from the
garden, field, and poultry on ex-
hibit.
Mrs. James Stevens and Mr..
James R. Taylor, Local County
Agent, assisted the Agent in the
exhibit by acting as judges.
The Spencerville Homemakers
The Spencerville Homemakers
held their Annual Achievement
Day Exhibit on October IL, 1916
at the Spencerville School.
A large and much improved
Quality of goods were put on ex-
hibit by the homemakers and
friends of Spencerville.
The sewing display showed
many made-over garments as well
As garments and household articles
made from the feed bags.
In the field of canning, all types
cf vegetables, fruits and meats
laade a fine showing as they were
viewed in their glass containers.
The baking items exhibited show
cd also that the culinary art is a
major object in homemaking.
A very fine example of the work
that the All Clubs are doing was
exhibited by the clubs of Spencer
vile and Smithville. Their display
consisted of canning, baking, fresh
vegetables, sewing, handicraft and
cabinet making.
The men of the community
showed, too, that they were a
part of the home, and placed on
exhibit products from the garden,
field and live stock.
Mrs. Bessie Carter, acting presl-
cent, commended the Homemakers
and friends on the wonderful pro-
cress that had been made during
the year.
Mesdames Sehorn and Stephens
acted as judges.
Miss Ethel L. Bianchi, Home
Demonstration Agent, was very
troud of the exhibits, for they
showed that her work had not
heen in vain, and that the Home
makers of Norbeck, Spencerville
and Smithville appreciate her
work and were very cooperative IN
