Past Records Broken In Canning Food North Carolina farm women fill ed 11.570,950 quarts of surplus food during 1923, according to records gathered from home demonstration club women by regular and emer gency home agents. In a report made to Mrs. Jane S McKimmon last week, Mrs. Corne lia C. Morris, food conservation spe cialist at State College, paid high tribute to the efforts of fram women in the State to grow and save ade Double-Quick Relief Demand and Gat GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN !

Earlj I last January, the home demonstra tion workers mapped out a plan tc aid rural women regularly enrolled in home demonstration clubs and to extend this aid to women whc had not received this Instruction 'at club meetings. As a result 2? emergency agents were added to the 65 agents regularly employed. Eleven emergency Negro home agents were also employed in addition to the seven thap at work. These workers trained 1,125 can ning leaders from among their club memberships, who In turn carried the instruction to rural women in I,' all parts of the State. The home - demonstration department cooper - ated with the Governor's office of i relief In all of the work. >101 only were the women taught to conserve such food as was produced but they - were aided In growing food supplies - to be used during the summer t months. s "One of the main objects of our -I effort was to aid every relief fam -! ily living on a farfn, whether owner -1 or tenant, to produce food, includ ? ing gardens, poultry and food and ? feed crops of sufficient variety and - quantity for home consumption and . to conserve fruits and vegetables for I winter use," Mrs. Morris said. "The i results show that this objective was ? abou,t met.and in addition there is . more foodstuffs available for home use this winter than in any pre ?: vious year since the World War."

Morgan la Supporting Rooaevelt Government Washington, Feb. 12.?Thomas W.i Lament, in a letter read to the| senate today, said J. F. Morgan and company, of which he Is a member, has "cordially supported" the Democratic administration. Hej lauded President Roosevelt's "with-1 tjrawal" from the gold standard. The letter was written to Senator LaFolIette (R. Wis.) to deny the senator's charge that the Morgan ilrm and allied Interests were "'seek ing to destroy the administration"! and "seeking to prevent ratification" of the St. Lawrence treaty. ?

TODAY and frank Parker , STOCXBRIDOt 4 | FRANCE?has grafters 1 I find a certain patriotic satisfac 1 tlon in the disclosures of official graft and corruption in Prance. It proves, what I have often said, that ' political crookedness is not solely an American trait. Some of my friends would have me believe that every thing European is better than any 1 thing American. - My observation is that human nature is the same all over the world, and that given the opportunity to get away with it, ? men who will use their political ofw flees to feather their own nests at public expense can be found any where. French politics has always been corrupt. This time it looks as if the gang which has been in power for years was through. Some of my Paris correspondents are greatly alarmed; they predict another re volution in France. / TUT?no curse Superstitions are hard to kill. Humanity is credulous because most of us want to believe in something we can't explain. The story that has < been going the rounds for several S years about the curse laid by the, Egyptian Pharaoh, Tut-Ankh-Amen, I upon whomever might despoil his tomb, I have heard seriously discuss- ' ed by otherwise intelligent people, who informed me gravely that every one or nearly every one, of the members of the expedition which found the treasures in that ancient tomb a few years ago had since died a mysterious death . A cheek-up by Director Winlock of the Metropolitan Museum of Art proves that out of the forty per sons present wtyen King Tut's mum my was unwrapped, thirty-three are still alive and in good health, after ten ypars. The seven who died lived to an average of sixty. -e That doesn't sound as if Tut's curse had been very effective, but I imagine foolish people will con tinue to repeat the original tale for generations. It is more interest- j ing than the truth. WHEELS?source of grief X have a good idea of sympathy with the point of view of Tarchin Babee of Kalimpong. Tarchin is editor of the monthly newspaper, the only paper published in Tibet, the title of which, translated into English means: "The mirror of the New Vicissitudes of Every Corner of This Universe." In his latest issue the editor, sit ting on the roof of the world in the high Himalayas, looks around and discovers what is the matter with the rest of us. It is wheels. Abolish wheels and there would be Jobs for everybody, he thinks. By the use of wheels, he points out. the uncivilized world outside of Tibet has made it possible for two men to do the work that takes a thousand in Tibet. As I said. I have a good deal of sympathy for the idea that we have let machines do too much for us, and have got out of the habit of doing things for ourselves. FIORELLO?on his way I want to give Mayor Fiorello La Guardja another pat on the back. He has taken hold of his big Job as Mayor of New York City with such vigor and determination that it looks as if he might really suc ceed in cleaning up the frightful mess of corruption and crime which was fostered by his Tam many predecessors. And he has the people of New York behind him tol a degree of unanimity which I have never seen in the New York politl-l cal picture before. Fiorello is a lone wolf in politics. [ Therein lies much of his strength, i i He owes nothing to any party. No body has any strings on him. Nomi-: nally a Republican, he was once . elected to Congress as a Socialist when the Republicans refused him a renomination. He loves to "stir up trouble among politicians. That is one reason why ordinary citizens like Aim. Keep an eye on Mayor La Guar dia. He will go far. EblJCATION?and leaders ^The young new President of Har vard, Dr. J. B. Conant, said the other day that the whole college system needs reorganization, both in the way of making it harder for those unfitted for higher education to get in and easier for youth of real talent to obtain the best edu cation available. We are going to look more and more to. the universities for leader ship. I imagine, especially if the "New Deal" proves a success. The program on which the effort is now being made to rehabilitate the na tion is largely the product of uni versity men of comparatively recent crops. I think the time ig past when the principal qualification for pub lic leadership will be a loud voice and a pair of ready fists. I have no illusion, however, that the mass of the peope will ever vote for a man merely because he is more intelligent than they are. j CORN AND COT TON CONTEST Raleigh, Feb. 12.?A corn and cot ton contest from an economical pro duction standpoint to be engaged in by students of vocational agricul-j ture will be sponsored by the Di vision of Vocational Education, State Department of Public Instruction, through the cooperation of the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bu reau, announced Roy H. Thomas,1 State Supervisor of Agricultural Education. The object of the contests is to stimulate interest among the boys and men on the farms in the im-1 portance of production cost in grow ing crops at a profit. In doing this the student will study the various elements of cost that enter into crop production, such as land and epulpment investments, labor, seeds; and fertilizers. Any member of an all-day or evening class in vocational agricul ture may enter the contest. To take part in the contest and compete for prizes the student must grow crops in accordance with the recommen dations of the North Carolina Ex periment Station. In determining the winners of the contest, each student's work will-be judged on a basis of project work with records.1 Winners must furnish a photograph of themselves, of a growing crop, and a project story with complete records. Prizes of fertilizer will be awarded to winners. The contests are open to both white and Negro students in the State. In the 72 counties in which vocational agri culture is offered there are 208 teachers instructing! 15,000 student?. HINTS for the HOME To keep lettuce crisp and ready for serving for several days, wash thoroughly and place in a paper bag, with the top closed tightly. Keep on ice. Angel food cake should not be cut but sawed with a piece of string. For a rich brown crust on pie, mix an egg yolk with a teaspoon of cold water and brush the top before baking. To fry cooked hominy to a golden1 brown, usg just enough fat to pre vent sticking. Bacon dripping is preferable to any other fat because of the flavor. Should be served as a substitute for potatoes. In preparing flsh for cooking, wet the hands before touching the flsh. and keep wet while handling. The odor will be imperceptible afterward. tn spite of the exotic green color Imparted, soda should never be us-; ed in cooking vegetables, as it tends to destroy the vitamins. 'To clarify meat dripping, put it into a bowl and pour on enough ] boiling water to cover. Stir well and let it cool. The dripping will form a solid cake on top, and after, wiping dry 1* ready tor use. It tat Is discolored or has a "trong flavor, clarity It by adding a slidtd raw potato to the fat and beating It slowly. When the pota toes are golden brown strain the fat and store it in a cool place. It will be entirely sweetened. In, potting flowers or preparing window boxes, scatter old nails in. the bottom layer of soil. Pill with rich soil above and plant flowers as usual The nails will rust through the wet soil and result in sturdy plants. ?_ A few tablespoonful of cold tea, or a tablespoonful of freshly-made cof fee, may bo turned over an apple pie in addition to the other spices, and produces an indistinguishable, pleasant flavor. Sugar used for meringue, whether powdered or granulated, must al ways be sifted. If a large amount of meringue Is needed, requiring more than three eggs, a little cream of tartar should be added to harden the albumen. To keep rugs from slipping on a polished floor, sew a strip of oil cloth under each end. Never serve a creamed soup when one of the vegetables for the main course is creamed or "au gratin." Adopt Dairy Program Mountain Farmers Economical production is featur ing the dairy forming program in the foothill and mountain counties this year, says P. R. Farnham, ex tentsion dairyman at N. C. State College. Dairy and livestock producers par ticularly are seeking advice from their county agents for ways to lower .their production expenses so as to meet the prevailing prices and still make a profit. Specialists in the dairy field of fice have worked out a four-point program which is being recom mended through the county agents as follows: Prepare a trench silo; grow a winter cereal hay crop; grow plenty of lespedeza, and provide lounging rooms for housing the cows during the winter months. The trench silo has been proven a tremendous advantage, Farnham said, in providing silage for winter. A good cereal hay crop can be planted with three bushels of vetch or Australian winter peas to the acre. Where an ample supply of silage is available, lespedeza may be plowed under and used chiefly for soil ? building. Barns remodeled so as to elimi nate many box stalls will provide excellent lounging room for the cat tle, which should be'liehorned be fore turned in together..Ample ven tilation should be provided. Farnham pointed out that manure from cattle kept in shelters is much better conserved than that from cattle allowed to roam over dried or dead pasture lands.

H. K. Sanders, Otmnty Lgent?Person County Parasites Affect Many Dairy Calves "Hie early spring months are the1 worst time of year for cattle lice, l particularly on calves, according to R. H. Huffner. head of the State College animal husbandry depart- j ment. Cattle Infested with lice cannot be thrifty, he said, and they fre quently lick and rub their skin un til the hair comes off in great patch es around the tail-head, neck, and withers. The best treatment consists of washing the animal with a solution of one ounce of sodium fluoride to one gallon of water, Ruffner said. ! The liquid should be applied over the entire body and worked in well with a brush around the back and sides and with a rag under the belly and neck and between the legs. | reat A clear day Is best for the treat ment, so that the animals will dry cff rapidly. After the liquid has been applied the animals should be rubbed until almost dry, then al lowed to stand quietly. All manure should be cleaned out of the barn and the walls and floor swept and disinfected thoroughly. In inspecting animals for lice, it Is well to examine them closely around the fleck, dewlap, back, and rump. o Amy Mollison, British aviatrix, in tends to fly until she dies and she has expressed a wish to die flying.
