PAGE TWO ROCKINGHAM POST-DISPATOfl. RICHMOND COUNTY, N. 0. The Girl's Supper. On Tuesday night the young women of Rockingham and' vicinity met at theManufacturers Hall, for the last of the suppers in connection with the McLendon campaign. Very emphatically indeed did they express their opinion that the last meeting was the best ff all. There was a larger number of girls present than on any former occasion and the meeting was enjoyed from the moment the reception com mittee greeted the girls at the door to the time they formed into line to march to the tent. Never before in the history of Rocking ham has 300 girls from all walks in life responded to an invitation to meet on a common platform and enjoy an evening together as has been the case one night each week for three consecutive weeks. Yes, they were there from the mill, the store, the office, the school and the switchboard. They sat side by side as they partook of the ample repast pro vided by the ladies, and when the meeting was over they marched in a body to the tent as happy a crowd of girls as ever paraded the streets of Rocking ham. Before leaving the Hall they did not fail to express their ap preciation for every courtesy ex them to them. Miss Hattie Marks, who without ostentation set the machinery of the entire women's work of the campaign in motion; Mrs. Webb, who so ably managed the refreshments on all three occasions, and who with a splendid band of women from the various churches served such good things to eat every time; Mr. Dallas, chairman of the transportation committee, and the generous-hearted men and women who ungrudgingly gave their cars and made it possible for the committee to bring the girls from a distance, were all remembered with a hearty vote of thanks, following which Miss Marks proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Palmer, of the McLendon party, for the message brought each time which will mean so much to the womanhood of this city. Mrs. Webb then proposed a vote of thanks for the girls who had shown their appreciation by coming in ever increasing numbers, a fact which made the work of th2 women's-work com mittee a pleasure. All are looking forward to the meeting for "Women Only" at the Methodist church, Thursday night, (tonight) when Miss Palmer's subject will be "A Brave Woman's Reward." The SundayTSchaol room will be re served for colored people. League Reorganized. The Interstate ball league was re-organized Tuesday by McColl dropping out ana camp Bragg coming in. The season was split in half, with Laurinburg winning the first half. The second half of the season began Wednesday. The league now consists of Ham let, Maxton, Laurinburg, Lum berton, Raeford and Camp Bragg. DEATHS HOME DEMONSTRATION Mary Ada Jacobs. Mary Ada Jacobs, 22-year-old daughter of A. B.

(By Jane S. McKimmon.) String beans are here in quantity and each housewife, if she be thrifty will be thinking of those lean winter months when food will be scarce and high in price, and when a nice can of string beans will come in handy for dinner. Beans are not hard to can if a woman realizes that it is the young and tender podV fresh from the vine that must he put into a can. The old and tough bean can be saved only by long and intermittent pro cessing or by steam pressure and does not have the same delicate flavor. The green pod stringless is a good variety, better for canning than the yellow snap and should be gathered when the bean inside the pod can be easily mashed with the fingers. If the beans are pulled in the after noon they should be canned not later than the next morning. Gath ering and canning the same day is preferable, A good motto is "Straight from' the vine to the can." If the canning is to be done in glass be sure that vour jars are not niched and that you have good new rubbers. Old rubbers have caused many a spoil because they have lost their elasticity and do not effect a 1 perfect seal. Sterlize your jars by I placing them in a covered vessel in j tepid w ater and boil for eight min utes. Rubbers should be sterilized Under and by virtue of the authority '' Putting them in a bowl of boil- contained in a certain Deed of Assign ment from A. A. Todd, Assignor to Wm. G.

They will break if they are allowed to touch the bottom of the canner. A piece of half-inch mesh galvanized wire net ting will answer the purpose.
