Doit waste sugar when canning.
All fruits and berries are much
better in flavor when canned with
a certian amount of sugar, but it is
not necessary- that enough sugar
should be used to make fruit as
sweet cs may be desirable when
served. t
There is a serious shortage of
sugar at present, which means
thatngvery housewife must be as
economical of its use in preserving
and canning as is possible. Instead
of the heavy syrups formerly used;
take 1 gallon of water and boil it
with 1 pint (which i? 1 lb. or 2 cups)
of sugar until sugar is dissolved, and
add this to fruits .r berries after
they, have been packed for canning.
This light syrup will bring out the
flavor of the fruit and decre ase the
amount of tugar necessary if not
canned with syrup. In other words,
the use of even a small amount of
sugar when canning fruit or berries
makes it possible for the housewife
to use less sugar when serving the
product, and the total amount used
will be far less than would have
been required to sweeten satisfacto
rily fruit canned with no sugar.
To make certain that full advan
tage is taken of the natural sweet
ness and flavor of fruit and berries,
let these pro d nets become thorough
ly ripe. Gather on same day they
are to be canned and get them to
canner as quickly as possible. Every
hour that passes between gathering
and canning berries some of the
natural sweetness is lost.
Ihese directions are good to be
followed for canning blackberries:
Gather berries when ripe but
firm. Place them (after washing,
but do not let stand in water) in a
muslin bag and plunge into boiling
water one minute. This will en
able you to get more in the can
and will also prevent the berries
from rising to top of jar, leaving 1-3
of the space filled with juice.
Pack the sterilized can to one
quarter inch uf the top (a gla-s jar
may be filled quite lull). Fill the
spaces and cover the berries well
with a syrup made of one gallon of
water and one pint of sugar. Place
rubber ring on jar and seal lightly,
place in canner. Process or boil
quart glass jars 13 minutes. - At
the end of 13 minutes lift jars out
and seal immediately.
Huckleberries may be canned in
the same way.
CAU HON Be sure to use a can
ner or boiler with a closely fitting
top when sterilizing your produces,
and use none but the best new, red
rubbers for the jars.
I will be glad to answer any ques
tion or send or give bulletin on can
ning and preserving to any one
upon request either in person or by
writing to

THE POOREST COUNTY
Th ; poorest county after the war
will be that county that did least in
an effort to raise its quota in War
Savings Stamps. It makes little
difference as to what the county is
worth now. Unless it provides
against that period of financial de-
pression that follows every war,
according to history, it will be hard
hit, and for the reason it failed to
protect itself against this period by
failing to take advantage of what
the Government had provided for
it.
There are two features of the
War Savings plan which provide
particularly against the reconstruc
tion period. One is the lnvestmg of
all spare money in Government
securities War Savings Stamps
which is to be returned with inter
terest at the end of four years from
next January. The other, which is
better if anything, is that virtue
that comes from being trained in
habits of thrift and saving, that
foresight and distinction that leads
to wise spending and intelligent
saving.
These two fortifications, an aver
age saving of twenty dollars per
capita and a disposition on the part
of the peaple to practice thrift and
save against non-essentials as well
as extravagance, will go a long way
toward taking care of any county
or township in adversity. The
county or people who have nothing
in the way of returned loans com
ing to them from the Government
after the war, or who have not
learned to save, and have not ac
quired that habit of providing for
the future and, uriforseen adversi-
ties, will be the poorest of poor peo
- ,T
ple after the war. They will be
poor not only in the things of this
world but in those finer and more
enduring qualities. Ihe worst ot
these will Jbe the of that sense of
patriotic services gratefully render
ed. When the war is won and the
deeds of heroes are being sung, no
feeling will be so treasured and no
pleasure so keen as that conscious
ness of having answered gratefully
and willingly every call of the coun
try in its hour of nee 1.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Below is a letter from Hon. T. J.
Harkms, of Asheville, to Hon. Geo.
W. Sutton, of this city, which is self
explanatory:
July 5, 19ia
Mr. George.W $utton, Attorney,
f y!va;N.
Dear Sin It has come to me
from two or three different sources
wkhin the past few days, that I was
billed to make a Patriotic and War
Savings Stamp speech in Sylva,
Thursday June 27th, and that quite
a crowd of the people of that com
munity assembled at the Court
House at the time advertised, to
hear me.
I cannot tell you how sorry I am
to have had such a thing occur, and
I assure you, and those who were
good enough to come out expecting
to hear me, that I was in no way to
blame. The local Chairman of the
W. S. S, campaign asked me if I
could go to Sylva on the 27th and
Biyson City on the 26th, and I told
him that I would be very glad, in
deed, to fill the appointments at
these places. He then stated that
he would take the matter up with
the Committee at Sylva and Bryson
City, and see whether or not a
meeting1 could be arranged, and that
he would let me know if he was
able to arrange the meetings on the
dates mentioned. He left town the
next day, and not hearing from him
I very naturally assumed that it
was found impracticable to hold the
meetings, "He simply forgot to
notify me that the meetings had
been arranged.
Again expressing my regrets and
assuring you that when I heard of '
. 1 J 1 T
wnat naa ianen prace, i was more
disappointed than those who attend
ed the meeting could have been, for
I should have been very glad to
have filled the appointment had I
known it had been made.
With best wishes, I am,
Very truly yours
Thos. J. Harkins.

FROM A JACKSON
BOYJT ENGLAND
Dear Mother: I just received the
Journal today. Sure was glad to
get it. and to read the .news of the
Jackson people. Was especially in
terested in the letters from the boys
on this side. Am very sorry that I
havn't been able to see any of them
as they were passing through Lon
don. But then we never know when
the Yanks are coming; neither does
Fritzie.
I am still working every minute,
have worked every night this week
but two. One of these I went to
the London Hippodrom, the other
to French class. A Belgian lady is
teaching French to about twenty of
us. She was a lady-in-waiting to
the Queen of Belgium, and speaks
French very fluently, as well as
English. I think very soon she will
be speaking United States pretty
good.
Last Sunday I went out to the
-Camp and had a nice
flight in an Aeroplane. An Eng
lish Major took me up. I think it
was one of the most exciting rides
I ever had. We were in one of the
fastest types of English Bombing
Planes. As soon as we were off the
ground, we began circling, upward.
The green fields were falling away
from us at a tremendous rate of
speed. At 5000 feet the country
below began to look like a great
colored map, and the atmosphere
was so thin as to make breathing
rather difficult for me, being unused
to the conditions, and perhaps just
a little bit excited. But the Pilot
kept going higher and higher. At
8000 ft. we seemed to be directly
QyerLondon, which looked like an
immense checker board that had
had an accident. I could see the
streets, railroads, and river, and the
largest buildings. We kept on up
until I could see the old Atlantic on
one side and the channel on the
other, and could make out every
town of any size in the southern
part of England. The upward climb
wa j nice compared to the descent.
After two or three loops and a short
tail spin, the engine was shut off,
and we began to descend in a great
spiral loop, while the ground was
rushing to meet us much faster
than we had left. We had a .nice
smooth landing and I found myself
safe on old Mother Earth once
more. The Major shook hands with
me and said he hoped I had "jolly
well enjoyed the little spin" and if
I would come Jback out he would
take me for a real ride. Am going
the next chance I have.
I was due my 1st Gold Service
Stripe the 23rd of May, having been
in the war zone just six months
then, so as soon as I can get an or
der from my C. O. I will be sporting
one. I saw some soldiers who were
wearing iwo, ana naa naa tnem
nearly two weeks, so you see there
have been American soldiers over
here for mere than a year.
Well, as I don't know much more
to write. I will close and go out and
try to rustle up something to eat.
Give my love to all, and best regards
to the neighbors.
With lots of love,
Your son x
John Rogers.

LARGE STILL
Deputy United States Marshal
Chas. Mason and Policeman Ed
Reed captured a larg3 blockade stiV
on North Fork, in Scotts Creek
township, last Wednesday and de
stroyed six large fermenters full of
beer, two of which were just ready
to be run. The furnace was ready
to fire up; all the wood and every
thing was in shape. It was of fifty
gallons capacity.
The officers found a large sow
near the still which had been killed.
The sow had, from all appearances,
according to the officers, gotten into
the pen that was built around the
still and had been killed with a
stick.

PDSH1NG THE BEE-KEEPING WORK
Raleigh, N. C. July 9 Mr. C. L.
Sams, Specialist in Beekeeping, is
this week engaged in holding local
meetings of beekeeker in the coun
ties of Gaston, Lincoln. Burke, and
McDowell, and will then continue
the trip into the counties of Madi
son, Buncombe, and perhaps Yan
cey. In view of the sugar shortage
which will evidently continue seri
ous for yearsr ail beekeepers are
advised to manage their hards for
higher production of honey, and
also to increase the number of their
colonies. At the same time, con
sumers are urged to use honey as a
substitute for sugar, A careful and
conservative calculation, based on
certain known facts, indicates the
surprising fact that at least 2,000
tons of honey, the. most healthful
sweet knownV went to waste in
North Carolina in 1917.
