OUR FLAG FOREVER
She's up there Old Glory where
lightnings are speed;
She dazzles the nations with ripples
of red;
And she'll wave for us living, or
droop o'er us dead.
She's up there Old Glory how
bright the stars stream!
And the stripes like red signals of
light are agleam!
And we dare for her, living, or dream
the last dream
'Neath the flag of our country forever!
She's up there Old Glory no tyrant
dealt scars,
No blur on her brightness, no ttain on
her stars!
The grave blood of heroes hath crim
soned her bars,
She's flag of our country forever!

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY
MAN
Long before President Wilson deliv
ered his ultimatum to the
German
j
Kaiser a lot of people were crying for,
war. They berated him for not going
to war when the Lusitania was sunk
and again when the Sussex was sent to
ithc bottom without warning. They
said President Wilson was a coward
land tbey called upon all who might
hear to witness the fact, for it was
a fact in their opinion.
Now these fellows have their chance
The army needs men, the navy is call
ing for men, the National Guard needs
recruits to bring it to w-r strength,
and the Marine Corps could use a few
thousand more. Not only thifi but la
borers are needed in the fields, your
field or somebody else's field. If those
who made all the noise really want
to do something now is the time to get
busy. ,
Not all can tote a hoe or a gun, but
but many who can't can buy a Liberty
Loan Bond. The Government neede
money for the prosecution of the war.
It must have money, for money mean.-;
men and ammunition and guns. These
bonds can be obtained at your local
bank. There are five banks in the
county, one or more of which is Jn
reach of every man in the county.
They will be glad to accommodate
yeu. Bonds may be had in denomina
tions ranging from $50 upwards. They
yield 3's per cent interest and are
non-taxable. A man told us recently
that if thet-e bonds yielded 4 per cent
he would buy some of them, because
then the interest would amount to the
same as money loaned at 6 per cent.
With jut going further into the yield j
of the bonds, it behooves no man to
quibble over one-half of one per cent I
when the country needs the money.
If you are really in earnest, about
serving your country, and every man
who is nut a slacker is in earnest,
there is every opportunity to justify
your wish. Enlist in some branch of
the s. 'rvice, grab a hoe, or buy a Lib
erty Loan Bond. Do either of these
an.: you will be serving your country.
Are You on the Helping Line?
Few of us haw- yet reaii'.id how
many and great sacrifices will be de
manded during the long months of
the war. The firing line is a long dis
tant e away. We co not see the hur
ry. ng of ambulances, the long lines
of knaki clad men nor hear the
sharp crack of the rifle and the nim
bi. r.gs of the loaded ammunition trains

Must Fight to Finish
B .-cause we have not yet heard the
cannon's roar, and because ve have
not yet seen trainloads of wounded
and dying we do not realize the task
we have undertaken. Because we have
not yet been called upon to undergo
hardships and privations we have not
had a conception of the grim reality
of the great conflict being waged on
European and Asian battlefields. The
fact is we are in a war that may last
a year or two or more; a war that
may bring hardships that this nation
has never before been called upon to
endure. There is a powerful enemy
over the seas, an enemy yet strong
and enduring. The French and tht
English and the Russians and the oth
er allies are fighting our battles dai
ly. They are leeling the brunt of the
fighting while we rest in comparative
security away from the noise of the
guns. It is our war now. No more
is at a war of the French and English
against Prussian militarism it is a
battle of the democracies of the world
against the autocracies. Greed of ter
ritory and of huge indemnities ravt
long since been swept into the back
ground of the great drama being en
acted. The greatest republic in tht
world has entered the lists to secim
the rights of a people to work out its
destiny away from the menace of au
tocracy. No possible outcome of the war
could threaten America like the tr
umph of the central pon.-$. The
downfall of Britain and France as
first-rank powers would shake this
country of ours scarcely less than suih
a stupendous event would

RECIPES FOR HOME CAN- 1
NING OF VEGETABLES
Department of Agriculture Sends Out
Book of Recipe For Canning How
Every Housewife Can Make an In-
expensive Canner I
The women of Randolph county are
especially interested this year in pro-
ducing and canning food. Upon re-
quest of the Courier, for the benefit
of the women of the county, the De-
partmcnt of Agriculture has recently
sent us instructions for making an in-
expensive home canner. Any woman
can make herself a canner and put tt
in her yard and save herself from ex-
posure and heat during the summer.
The suggestion is to use a galvan-
ized tub or lard can, setting it on a
small furnace or fire box built out of
brick or stone and provided with a
door at one end and a couple of joints
of stove pipe at the other. Wood may
be used as fuel. In addition, this ves-
sel would have to have a cover and it
would be necessary to devise some
trays in which to place the jars or
cans when lowering them into the wa-
ter. If you can in tin, you will have
to buy, in addition, capping steel and
tipping copper. These would cost in
the neighborhood of $2.00.
For home canning in glass in doors,
a canner made out of a wash boiler,
lard can, or galvanized tub by simply
arranging a false bottom made out of
slats of wood or a piece of w-ire net-
ting and having a tight cover pro-
vided.
A false bottom is absolutely neces-
pan' as the jars will break if set flat
upon the bottom of the boiler. Nar-
row strips of wood, straw, or almost
anything of this nature mny be used
for the purpose but the wire gruzo Is
clean and convenient.
Jars should be thoroughly sterilized,
Corn
Contrary to the general opinion,
corn is one of the easiest vegetables
, the ear is pulled from the stalk; there-
fore in order to retain the original
sweetness and flavor it is necessary
to can corn verv soon after it is pulled
within an hour if possible. Selpet
the c.V:- with full grains before they
have begun to harden, as this is the
period of greatest sugar content. Husk
them and brush the silks off with a
.stiff brush. Shear off the grains with
a sharp knife and pack the jar full,
Add salt to taste, usually ab( ut a
teaspoonful to the quart is sufficient,
and fill up the jar to the top with cold
