The Newspaper’s Courage.
Once in a while somebody gets
the idea that the reason the local
paper does not report every scan
dal that comes to public knowledge
is because the publisher is afraid.
That’s not the reason. The reput
able newspaper, especially in a
small town where everyone is a
neighbor to everyone else, takes no
delight in giving publicity to those
things that have brought disgrace
to some family or heartache to
some wife or mother. It is much
more pleasant to record the good
things that happen, to tell about
the incidents that tend to make
life more endurable, and that uplift
rather than tear down, that bring
joy jnsfead of sorrow, pride instead
h09.rtat.he. Sp jf ypy don’t a)l
ways find in The News the delect
able bit of gossip that would doubt
less make “good reading,” and if
you are inclined to blame the editor
because he “doesn’t print all the
news,” consider that some home
has had enough worry over unfor
tunnate happenings, and that the
gossips and scandal mongers of the
community can and will gladly and
ghoulish’ly give sufficient publicity
to the details to satisfy the lowest
tastes. Incidently, it might be re
marked here that the most com
plaint of censored news comes
from people who have now or have
had in their lives some things they
are very glad were not given news
paper publicity. There comes
times, of course, when it is the def
inite business of the local newspa
pers to speak right out in meeting
to tell what happened; to give open
publicity to conditions that are a
reproach to a community and for
which the light of publicity seems
the only cure. Tolerance is not a
lack of courage.

Tall us the news for the News
Cemetery Cleaning Success.
The annual cleaning day at Har
per Springs cemetery on last Fri
day was a decided success. A
large number were present and the
grounds cleaned up good, after
which Rev.J. F. Johnston preached
a sermon then all had dinner on the
ground from well filled baskets
brought by the ladies.
Home Canning of Vegetables and fruit.
The general war outlook in
Europe indicates a gloomy pros
pect for the cotton market this fall.
In fact, the price of cotton for fu
ture delivery has been declining for
the past thirty days.
This impresses the importance
of the farmers in this State and the
South preparing for the hard times
that may continue through the
next season, by taking advantage
of every opportunity available to
provide a living at home from the
products of the farm. One of the
best means of doing this is to pro
vide yourself with a small home
canning outfit, to can fruits and
vegetables for table use during the
winter and early spring months.
The outfits are complete and are
accompanied with full instructions
for canning all kinds of fruit and
vegetables, and besides the manu
facturers will often send a man to
show you how to operate them.
►The dealers will furnish the cans,
with solder on them, and also at
tractive labels if you want them.
so your canned goods will look as
attractive and be as good as any
sold in the stores. The canning
outfits sell as low as $7.50 and up
to $50 and higher. With a $25
outfit you can put up 500 to 800
cans a day with the labor of from
two to four people. Some of the
manufacturers sell their outfits fot
part cash and the balance on time.
It will be an easy matter to buy a
$25 outfit and pay for it out of the
profits on beans, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes and pumpkins, that can
yet be grown in time for canning
this season.
Cost of canning 1,000 cans of
tomatoes:
1000 3-pound cans $5^5.00
Solder. 40c; flux, 5 .- .45
1000 labels, 2.00
66 bushels at 25c,. 1 6.50
$43.95
Average value 7c per can 70.00
_
Profit and labor $26.05
If sold and shipped to wholesale
house, it would be necessary to
have cases or boxes in which to
ship, at a cost of 10c each. It
would take 41 cases per thousand
cans, or a total cost of $4.10.
This would reduce the profit and
labor to $22.05, which is pretty
good for two women and one man
for a day and a half or two days
work, besides getting $16.50 for
the tomatoes. About the same
profit can be made from canning
other vegetables and fruits. There
is a good demand for canned sweet
potatoes, pumpkins, turnip greens
and spinach. These products are
all easily canned on the farm with
small outfits.
just trunk how tine it would be it
every farmer could at the begin
ning of the winter season have
1000 cans of assorted canned
goods. Such a result can be ob
tained by twobr three days of la
bor and about $26 for cans, with a
small home canning outfit. So buy
one without delay. If you haven’t
the money get your merchant or
banker to advance it to you and
pay him in canned goods before the
summer is gone. You can do it.
Try it out. It is worth the effort.
In most of the counties there is a
canning club agent. She will be
glad to show you how to pjjeratfi it,
and will Charge you nothing for her
services. If you cannot dispose of,
your surplus canned goods to your1
local merchants let me know and 1
will find you a market.

Jellies,” and “Canning Venetables

YOU HAVE
doubtless heard of the farmer
who kept his accounts on the
barn door with chalk, and the
barn burned down.
Did it ever strike you that you
were in the same kind of a “fix”
when you pay your bills by cash?
|i A check is a receipt that can
^ never be denied.
Suppose you let us use the
i
i
i
chalk on our books instead of
wasting it on the barn door. ;

WHEN
HOT WEATHER
DOES SET IN,
You'll find a good refrigerator very
profitable. The secret of buying a
refrigerator is to get one so well built
pllj that heat can't get in and cold can't
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
THE RANNEY are good Refriger
ators. They have many unusual
points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est jobbing prices. This saving we
hand on to our blade, and it is an ad
vantage. which no other dealer in this
section is able to offer.
