CLUB NOTES.
Since eggs are one of the only two
perfect foods, they should be used to
a greater extent. In the egg we find
every element essential to growth and
life. For this reason eggs should be
one of the most important foods both
for the child and adult. Eggs con
tain enough protein to be used as a
meat substitute. They can be so pre
pared that they can be served at
every meal. Eggs should be cooked
at a low temperature to keep them
from becoming tough. If cooked at a
high temperature, they are tough and
indigestible.
Baked Egg Dishes.
Shirred Eggs ? Cover the bottom
and sides of a small baking dish with
fine bread or cracker crumbs. Break
each egg int<x a saucer and carefully
slip it into the dish. Cover with seas
oned buttered crumbs and bake in a
moderate oven and when the white
has become firm and the crumbs a
golden brown, remove from the oven
and serve hot.
Eggs in Nest ? Carefully separate
the white from the yolk of an egg.
Beat the white until stiff and pile
lightly on a nicely trimmed slice of
toast. With a spoon make a depres
sion in the top of the white and slip
the egg yolk into it. Place on a baking
dish in a moderate oven and when
the white has become a golden brown,
remove and serve. It may be seasoned
to taste.
Eggs With Sauce.
Eggs Goldenrod ? Two cups milk.
Two tablespoonful butter.
One-fourth teaspoonful white pep
per.
One and a half tablespoonful flour.
Four hard cooked eggs.
One teaspoonful parsley.
One-half teaspoonful salt.
Six Slices toast.
Melt the butter, add the dry ingre
dients and stir until smooth. Add the
heated milk slowly, stirring constant
ly, and allow to come to the boiling
WEST RALEIGH CLUB NOTES.
West Raleigh, April 2. ? County
Agents J. W. Cameron and Mrs. Rosa
lind Redfearn of Anson county have
undertaken the task of securing at
least four hundred members of the
canning, corn, cotton, pig, potato,
poultry and peanut clubs, who will
make a profit of at least $20.00 each,
and use the money to purchase War
Savings Stamps by Christmas day
1918. The belief is that they will
easily succeed for Anson county has
always been a leader in club work I
among boys and girls.
Mr. E. D. Weaver, County Agent
of Buncombe county has written that
he has a membership of 800 already
and with no great effort. The Bun
combe boys and girls are record break- ,
ers and will prove themselves to be
food producers in 1918.
Other leading counties in each
membership, are Montgomery, Robe
son, Cherokee, Randolph, Ruther- !
ford, Wake and Rowan.
County Agent Dodson, who has just
begun work in Pitt county this year
has organized his club members at
three places and has a membership of
29 at one of these.
From report*, received from the
county agents and from observations
by the club agents who have been very
active in all sections of the state in
interests of a large club enrollment it
is apparent that the boys and girls
are anxious and willing to do what
thoy can toward producing a surplus
amount of food this year. They are re
sponding splendidly to the call made !
by Governor Bickett for cn army of
100,000 members. Everywhere the
teachers are cooperating and also the
press of the state toward this end.
In Memoriam.
It is with a sad heart that I try
to write of the dcat'f of Grandfather
William H. Lassiter, which came
quite suddenly Sunday morning,
March 24th, about 5:30 o'clock. He was
taken seriously ill with acute indiges
tion Saturday evening and did not
live many hours. He had been in
rather feeble health for sometime. j
He was seventy-two years, three
months and twenty-nine days old. He
had be n a faithful member of the
Primitive Baptist church al Clement
for m^re than forty-five years, and
was deacon of the church mos* of
of that time. He was a kind hearted
generous man, always ready to render
any service possible to his family,
neighbors and friends. He was always , '
present at church when he wis able J
to get there. His home was ever open
FARM NOTES.
1. I am anxious that each township
board of Agriculture appoint a young
man to take charge of the boys and
girls club work in the township when
1 am not there. Give me his name soon,
2. The club members or those who
wish to become members can get pigs
or corn by writing to me or the town
ship club man. Each member will buy
his own pig this year. Enroll now.
3. I hope the teachers will get all
the pupils they can to join these clubs
before the schools are out. (We will
use these clubs to beat the Kaiser.) I
will send these members rules and
other information needed for the best
results as soon as they are enrolled.
They can go ahead and get what they
need and plant it in the meantime,
however. We want the boys and girls
and women all to attend the town
ship meetings.
4. The townships that want town
ship fairs this year let me know as
soon as possible.
5. Cut these farm notes out of the
paper and file them so you can refer
to them for future information.
6. Do not be in too big a hurry to
plant your corn for the cold spring
rains will rot the grains and weaken
them before they get well started.
7. Lime and plant soy beans in the
well drained piece of ground you ex
pect to plant in alfalfa or burr clover
this fall.
8. Ask your neighbor to get your
ten per cent of nitrate of soda at the
car for you to avoid a ten mile trip
for it. Give him your bank receipt and
it will be all right.
point. Separate the yolks from the
whites of the hard cooked eggs, chop
the whites fine and add to the white
sauce. Cut the slices of toast half and
after arranging on the platter, pour
the sauce over them. Put the yolks
througr a potato ricer or press them
through a strainer, sprinkle them over
the sauce, and serve.

to whom he always extended a hearty
welcome.
He volunteered in the war of 1861
65 and bravely served t' rough the
conflict srrrendor'ng with G"n. Rob
ert E. Lee at Appomattox.
I believe Grandfather served his
purpose cn earth as a christian and
now, he is gone to his reward which
is prepared for those of like chris
tian character. May we be reconciled
that his life on earth is good evidence
that he is resting in the arms of
Jesus.
Grandfather leaves surviving him

Mrs. J. W. Langdon, and one son, Sir
William Lassiter, six sisters, Mrs.
Bennett M;',ssengill, Mrs. William
Durham, Mrs. L. R. Moore, Mrs. Hen
ry Hall, Mrs. Willis Massengill and
Mrs.. W. B. Hobbs, seventeen grand
children and nine great grandchil

When the toils of life ore over
And like you, we lay our armor by,
May the Lord prepare us to meet you
In a home beyond the sky.

At 10:30 Saturday morning the

and relatives met in the court house
where several talks were made by the
negro preachers and educators. All
the talks showed that they were filled
I with patriotism. The messages to the
boys who were to go into the military
service of the United States
were messages of encouragement and
hope that each would measure up to
to his full duty when the trying hour
came. The members of the colored
branch of the Red Cross were on hand
and gave every departing soldier a
comfort kit.
Dr. Wharton, of the Exemption
Board, gave the soldiers a few words
of instruction and encouragement.

go to the depot quite a crowd accom
panied them to bid them goodby and
God speed.

Two Ways of Reading Anything.
John Wanamaker says there are
two ways of reading anything. If it
is a letter no one gets its real mean
ing by jumping through it froglike.
Superficial reading of books or news
papers amounts to nothing if it i?
merely to sustain a preconceived
opinion or to boost a prejudice.
