Mr. Editor: If you will allow me
a bit of space in your paper I will
write a few sentences, while the opr
portunity is yet mine to use this as
a means of proving that 1 am yet
remembering you people and am
glad I am one of you.
I am certainly pleased with the
work you did in the Red Cross cam
paignsome time ago, for the Red
Cross Association o f America is
playing a greater, nobler and far
more important part in the present
war than anyone can possibly im
rgine, unless it is the bleeding and
dying soldiers in their care.
I am glad that the War Savings
Stamp drive is making the great suc
cess it seems to be making. It shows
that you Jackson County people are
awake as we have always been, and
I am sure, always will be. ' Some
people are inclined to sit down and
fold their arms and hope for the
war to close so their boys can come
home. That is wrong, sinfully and
ignorantly wrong, for the man who
has any money which he can loan
to the government. We are going
to win and everybody, unless it is a
few thick-skulled Germans who have
not considered the matter carefully,
knows it. To win the war "means
an immense cost of millions in men
and billions in money; and if the
money supply runs short, then auto
matically the sacrifice of men and
blood will increase. For shortage
in money means shortage in sup
plies of ammunition and other equip
ment that means advantage to the
Germans and the reverse to us. We,
the soldiers from your own homes,
have the necessary" blood, bravery
aim maiiiiuou ami are reauy, wm-
iu and anxious to go fprairi ,
j i i i i.. ...:n
play our part in the game. I guess
there are a few more than two and
a half million U. S. soldiers, while
there are more than one hundred
million people in civil life.Everybody
knows what WE must do; now what
is the civilian's duty? Do not waste
time nor money that is all. Keep
busy producing something to eat or
earning money. Buy war stamps
a .d bonds with all the money you
can spare, if you have any to
spare and if not. get some for the
sake of humanity.

HELP FORFARMERS
Boiling Hall, of Vaynesville rep-
resentating the State Division of
Markets wants to help all growers
of potatoes apples, cabbage and
other crops sell their crops for good
prices. In order to do this theDivis-
on of Markets will arrange for all
growers who send in their names to
receive Government daily market
reports giving prices farmers are
receiving at loading points and prices
delivered in the principal markets.
AH growers who want to recieve
hese price reports should send their
names at once with the estimated
quantity, variety and grade of each
crop they will have to. sell, to Boil
ing Hall, State Marketing Agent for
W. N. C, Waynesville, N. C. The
price reports will be sent put daily,
beginiikig about shipping time in
the fall.
If enough growers of potatoes, ap
ples etc. are sufficiently interested
to stand together und load their
crops in car lots with proper grades !
and packs, the Division of markets
will help them form a co-operative
gelUng aS8odationt etlUatJJ
, -w 0, " I
County, with headquarters at Way
nesville which sells for its members
on 5 per cent commission and re
quires each member to subscribe to
one share of stock of par value of
five dollar?.
Whether Jackson County growers
organize an association of their own
now or not, they should at least send
in their names for the price reports
and get together enough to furnish
the Division of Markets the data as
to how many cars of each potatoes
and apples they will have to sell,
now is the time for farmers to get
together to get fair prices for what
they grow.
This proposition is for the benefit
of the farmer. It is operated by the
State Department of Agriculture,
through its Division of Markets
with office at West Raleigh, N. C.
If Jackson County farmers want
to organize abseiling association of
their own under state aid or wish to
work withthe Mountain Growers'
Exchange already organized in Hay
wood, they should call a meeting
and have the marketing agent locat
ed at Waynesville, Boiling Hall,
come over to Sylva and explain how
they can organize and help them
form their organization.

REGARDING SUGAR
FOR CANNING.
Inquiries to County Food Admin
istrator A. J. Dills indicate that a
number of good housewives do riot
thoroughly understand the regula
tions governing the -use of sugar for
canning and preserving purposes,
and some have thought they would
be compelled to abandon further
canning and preserving. They have
been under the impression that only
25 pomids for each household was
av ailable for this purpose.
"It is the very earnest desire of
the Food Administration that the
largest possible quantity of fruit be
saved through canning, preserving,;
drying or evaporation," today de
clared cAr. Dills to a Journal reporter.
''Naturally in the face of a sugar
shortage there is a remarkable in-j
crease in the drying and evaporat
ing of fruits. ' Also the Food Ad
ministration is urging as its motto,
'maximum canning with minimum
sugar', and Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon,
head of home demonstration work
in North Carolina, recommends the
use of only one pound for 16 quarts
of fruit. If additional sugar is nec
essary it can be added when the
fruit is eaten. At that time the
sugar situation will no doubt be
much easier.
"No household is allowed to have
more than 25 pounds of sugar dur
ing the season for canning and pre
serving except with the approval of
their County Food Administrator.
However, all county food adminis
trators have been instructed by
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
to be very liberal in the exercise.of
the discretion that is given tJigm in
uus mau?r arm mere is no reason
with fruit or berries
,oiIrKI oK,
available should not save them all
by canning, preserving and diyiug..
The purchase of 25 pounds or a
smaller quantity for this purpose
can be repeated as often as there is
real and legitimate need for their
purpose.
"Individuals canning for the mar
ket should immediately make state
ments to the Sugar Division of the
Food Administration at Raleigh for
certificates upon which to buy sugar
for canning and preserving. They
will be allowed the full quantity
necessary. Statements upon which
these certificates may be secured
can be secured at my office. They
must be filed with the Sugar Divis
ion at Raleigh by July 15 or they
will not be effective.

THE MERCHANT
OF VENICE."
The Mercjhant of Venice," which
& to be presented at Cullowhee
"Friday night. July 19, beginning at
nine o dock, is amdng the first to
read and the last to be forgotten
f Shakespeare's works.
With the exception pf a brief
period during which all theatres of
Eugland were closed by an act of
Parliament, this work of the great
est dramatist the world has ever
known has continually kept its place
oft the stage ever since it was writ
ten, more than three hundred years
ago. Whether one sees the drama
acted by those who wear in the per
formance the costumes of the Duke
of Venice, the Jews, the princes, the
aristocrats and the common people
pf several centuries ago, as will be
tfie case at.Cullowhe, or reads the
work in his own study, he cannot
fail to be thrilled by this supreme
combination of tragedy and ro
mance, humor and pathos, unrelent
ing hate and love of the noblest,
truest type.
The universal popularity of this
work is clearly indicated by the
large number of familiar quotations,
which are known to many who have
never studied Shakespeare. For ex
ample, in the second scene Portia
says to her maid:
"If to do were as easy as to know
what were good to do, chapels had
been churches and poor men's cot
tages princes' palaces."
;Jessica, the Jewess, looking down
f rofn a balcony, says to Lorenzo,
who stands below in the street:
"Buldjupdtovfen cannot!
see
The pretty follies that themselves
commit.
In the trial scene, which is one of
the highest achievements of literary
genius, Portia, beginning her appeal
to the Jew, who never for an instant
wavers in his cruel purpose of re
venge, says:
"The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath It is twice
blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him
that takes."
As she returns to Venice after
the trial, she sees a candle at a dis
tance in her own borne, and ex-
claims:
"How far that little candle throws
his. beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty
world."
Among a hundred other familiar
Quotations are the following: The
devil can cite scripture for his pur -
pose ; laoa made mm, and tnereiore
let him pass for a man"; "He is
well paid that is well satisfied";
"There is no vice so simple but as-
sumes some mark of virtue on its
outward parts"; "Truth will come-to
light; murder cannot be hid long";
"Hanging and wiving go by destiny;"
"All that glisters is not -gold"; "A
goodly apple rotten at the heart; O,
what a goodly outside falsehood
hath!"
"The merchaht of Venice" is es
pecially rich in characterization,
and one who is interested in the
study of human nature will find
hi.i.self well repaid for an intensive
study of the characters of this work.
These characters are divided into
three groups, of which Antonio, the
merchant of Venice; Shylock, a rich
Jew, a beautiful young heiress, are
respectively the centers.
The presentation of work of this
kind deserves every encouragement
as an educational movement.

AMERICANS HOLD HUNS
The Americans have been face to
face with the Huns since Monday,
in one of the hardest fought battles
of the war, and in which the Amer
icans have given but little ground
and in most cases have retaken all
they lost and at some points have
even advanced their lines in - the
face of the massed waves of Huns
as they advanced against them, and
trom all reports they will continue
to hold their line of trenches.

SUGAR SITUATION
Notwithstanding the repeated pub
lication of the attitude of the Food
Administration toward canning and
preserving, there is still some con
fusion on the part of a number of
the housewives of the State and
there is some danger that some
women may abandan further can
ning and preserving and allow val
uable foodstuffs to go -to waste. We
shall appreciate your assistance in
getting over" to the people iust
what the attitude of the Food Ad
ministration is in the matter.
The Food Administration is very
anxious that every pound possible
of fruits and vegetables be saved
to human comsumption through
dehydration, canning or preserving.
Dehydration requires no sugar
and with those products that lend
themselves to this form of conser
vation, we think this method should
be encouraged.
For those products which are not
readily dried or are more whole-
some canned, we desire to encour-
age rauiuiug iu 1 11c uiiuusi, luiiuw-
ing the motto, "Maximum canning
with minim un sugar." Preserving
of course 'requires a definite quanti
ty of sugar.
Every family is entitled to pur
chase 25 pounds of sugar for can
rung and preserving purposes upon
a certificate w h ic h will
be supplied by the regular merchant
of the purchaser. Additional quan
tities of sugar may be secured upon
similar certificates that are approv
ed by the County Focd Administra
tor. We have requested all County
Food Administrators to exercise
this discretion very liberally and to
aDnrove certificates for sugar with-
ST x
in any reasonable quantities for
canning and preserving purposes.
We have also requested County
Food Administrators to provide
Home Demonstration Agents with
approved certificates so that they
may assist the County Food Admin-
! istration in the distribution of these
' certificates in their discretion.
j Let us repeat that all the sugar
tnat is necessary for canning and
Dreseiving can be secured upon
certificates or pledges that are ap-
nr0ved and signed by County Food
Administrators.
Very truly yours,
. HENRY A. PAGE.

Georgian Says Its
Worth Thousands,
Declares Tanlac Restored Health
After 20 Years' Suffering.
"It's worth thousands of dollars to
feel like 1 do now, since Tanlac has taken
away the trouble that kept me in misery
tor tne last twenty years, said J. B.
Daniel, a well-known tarmer living on
Routes out of Abbeville, Georgia, a few
days ago.
"Whenever a man suffers as long as
I did, he gets to the place where hefeeis
like he's no more good, in this world,"
he continued, "and that s just the way
had begun to feel. Longaeo I got so
weak I couldn't carry on my work, for
spells of stomach trouble and nervous
ness just made it torture for me to eat
and the trouble I had wouldn't let me
sleep at all. My heart acted queer nii-
til I was afraid it was coins? to stoo.
'I'd been well enough satisfied to
have had my sufferings relieved, frrn
that's not all Tanlac did. I've gained
eleven pounds besides. I can eat as
heartily as if I had stomach trouble and
I can do as much work in a day as I ever
could. I iust feel like a new man."
