TO OUR SOLDIER SONS To you fortunate ones who are about to go forward to that lorfg battle line where tho armies of autocracy and oppression are facing the armies of the free, congratulations and Godspeed! You go, not as reluctant victims of misfortune or fatal chance, but rather as our chosen one?: the pick and flower of our manhood, whole of body, sound in mind and spirit what ail of us would like to be. And we who are too old or too weak, or in some other respect unfitted to go in body.; shall go with jTou in spirit. We know that we ask much of you, and we ex pect much, for we expect things in keeping with our great traditions things born of the spirit of Nathan Hale; but we know that we shall not be disappointed. In imagination and in sympathy we shall be there with- you orr the firing line, and at home ws shall do ail that we can to make you comfortable and content. We shall pray that you may return in safety, but even more fer vently we shall pray thai; your courage may not flag or the edge cf your de termination be dulled. You are to fight in the noblest eaus? in which man ever took up arm3, and for a nation the most generous in all the world to her soldier sons. You go with her blessing, for she trusts you; and be sure that whether you re turn or not she will hold your names in honor and grateful memory until the end of time. The Youth's Companion.

Miss Martha Latham, after spend ing a pleasant vacation at Norfolk and Ocean View, "has returned home. If all our readers love the violin as I do, they wall enjoy the following which I clip frorn the Virginian-Pilot and the Norfolk Landmark. The article follows: "What a wonderful thing a violin is," exclaims Paul Stoeving, , in the prologue to "The Story of the Vio lin." "Once, in its crude primeval form, in the dim ages of antiquity, it was perhaps the most despised and neg lected of instruments; then, after cen turies of slow development, which seemed like the groping through darkness towards light, it burst upon the world two or three hundred years ago in a perfection which human wit has never since been able to improve upon. "It was the robin's scng in March, ushering in the new spring; the lovely first fruits of a new age, a new dis pensation, a new spirit on the earth not only the spirit of modem musi cal are, but the spirit of a more en lightened humanity, of greater char ity and general brotherhood The little miracle of form and sound has penerated since to all quarters of the globe, carrying its sweet influence joy, comfort, new hope, new faith and new strength alike to rich and poor, into the palace and the hut. What would this world of ours be withou-; its violin? Both king and lowly ser vant of the art, what is it' not, dear, blessed little instrument........ It holds us spellbound, thrills and movcti us in the artist's hands; it forms part of the scanty luggage cf the immi grant to keep him company on his lonelyy farm out West when winter evening3 are long end thoughts will wander back to. the old homestead far across the sea. "Who will describe it, tone of a Stradivari violin, when the true artist draws it from its hiding place. That indescribably sweet voice, where thou endest the music of the spheres be gins Waa ever form more per fect symbol of the tone? Look at this fine instrument of a famous mas ter here before me on the table ; what a delicious play of curves and colors the noble,- sphinx-like head from which it rolls down or unfolds itself in graceful and continuous arabesques the tender swell and modeling of the chest and back that amber colo deepening to a rich, almost reddish brown towards the center. A cor ner of a Titian canvas, i3 it? Yes, or Rembrandt's. And behold the fins fiber of the wood shining through the varnish. What can be finer? No wonder people love a violin like that, and yearn and starve themselves for it. "The enthusiast has had his say. But is that all? Look at the frail thing made of wood only wood; it 1 received. has withstood the stress of two whole j e ye jr Tucker and we believe centuries.

He And this is not all; imagine thi3 frail ; leaves two sons, Mr. George Lucktrr, It is gratifying to see the whole hearted efforts of the girls and wo men in knitting and crocheting arti cles for the comfort of soldiers and sailors who are going on active service Perhaps it would be seasonable to enumerate the really useful thingg that mean something in the cold and comfortless surroundings of the tren ches and leaky billets. I write with a personal experience of what a winter in France means to the soldier. Good warm knitted socks I would place first, as the socks issued by the authorities are not very good. Foot comfort is the great essential. Next, warm woolen mufflers, about four and a half to five feet (khaki color), so as to go around the neck twice. Then woolen mittens not less than 10 in ches long. These are important, as the cold in trenches is sufficient to cause frost bites. Then the woolen cap, or helmet. These are made in various shapes, but the most popular with soldiers are those that eover the entire head, with a hole infront for exposing the eyes, nose and mouth. The chief use for this is as a night cap. It must b8 borne in mind that on active ser vice there are no beds. "Soldiers often have to sleep in the open air, while PRESERVE SUMMER FRUITS HAPPENINGS AT INEZ. (From Agricultural Bulletin) FRUITS SAVED BY THIS PROCESS AS WELL AS BY CANNING The fruits which are so plentiful in many parts of the country this season may be saved by preserving as well as by canning. Preserves and simi lar products differ from canned fruit in that much larger, proportions of sugar are used in preparing them, in that they are cooked longer, and in that special sterilization in containers is not necessary in all cases. Be cause of this many of these products may be packed in large-necked bot tles, glasses, etc., and sealed with cork, paraffin, etc. Tight-sealing jars thus may be saved for canning. Preserves, jams, marmalades, etc., Mrs. Robert Egerton a very popu lar and amiable lady (nee Miss Annie Belle Alston) and friend Miss Ellen Daniel are visiting Mrs. R. W. Als ton thi3 week. Protracted meeting is going on at Shady Grove this week, and crowds were there Sunday. Miss Gussie Foster, from Elberon, is visiting in the neighborhood this week. Miss Tempe Tharrington, of Rocky Mount, i3 visiting Miss Estelle Wil liams. Mr. R. W. Alston is still "Toting Lumber to the Saw" on this side of Shocco creek, and the writer wishes that success may attend him as he is a fine man. Mrs. Solon Southerland has been visiting Mrs. John C. Powell this week. Messrs. Kearney Thompson and differ among themselves in the pro portion of sugar used, the degree of Harry Williams, of Inez, were in cooking employed, and the consisten cy of the finished product. Though less economical to prepare than can ned fruit because of the relatively large amounts of sugar used, preser ves and similar preparations furnish a variety in the ways of putting up fruits and make valuable additions to the winter ration of sweet foods. When preserves are properly made, the fruit keeps its form, is plump, tender, clear, and of good color, the surrounding syrup being also clear and of proper density. In making preserves the obiect is to the fruit We don't remember whether in the permeated with the sirup, and this days of peace Armour and company town one day last week, bringing with them two pretty young ladies.

In order to prevent shrink age, it is necessary to put fruit at its density slowly by boiling the fruit in sirup in sirup or by alternately cooking and allowing the product to stand immersed in the sirup.

"It is this simplicity of construc tion, together with the convenient shape, viz., portability, which has help ed to secure for the violin its phenom enal popularity. It made cheapness possible, has made it the instrument for the poor as well as the rich, as once the ideal pattern is given, in ferior wood and workmanship could net annihilate the elementary virtues of the organism. "Yes, what a wonderful thing is a violin. While in every branch of hu man knowledge and activity every year marks new discoveries and the apparent miracle today becomes the common thing of tomorrow, the violin stands where it stood three hundred years ago, and every attempt at al tering its form or any smallest part of it has been a dismal failure. 13 it not as if for once human wit has reached its goal V before using1, Sirup No, .1, U3e 14 ounces sugar to X gallon cf water. .

Sirup No. 5, use 6 pounds 13 ounces sugar to 1 gallon water. Measurements. If no scales are a vailable, the amounts of sugar may be approximated by measuring, using 1 pint for each pound and 16 table spoons to the half pint. For the re cipes given herewith all measure ments are level and the standard measuring -cup holding 1-2 pint is used. For fruits like peaches, pears, wa termelon rind, etc., preserving should I Daily News be begun in sirup not heavier than j No. 3. Juicy fruits like berries can j be put at the beginning into a heavier sirup, about No. 4, because the abun dant juice of the fruit quickly re duces the density of the sirup before shrinking can take, place. When the preserves are finished and ready for packingthe density of the sirup should have reached that of No. 4 or No. 5. Sirup made with very acid fruits car be made heavier than pure sugar sir ups without danger of crystallization because the acid inverts some of the sugar, changing it to a form which will not crystallize readily. Since long cooking injures the color and flavor of fruits, it is desirable to cook delicate fruits such as berries for as short a time as possible. Cool ing rapidly after cooking gives pre serves a" better color and flavor than can be secured when they are packed hot. Standing immersed in sirup af ter cooking also helps to plump them. If berry preserves are covered for a br.ef time before removing from fire and the vessel left covered while cool ing the product will be more plump. For cooling shallow enamel tray3 or pan3 are desirable. Tin can not be used because fruits will discolor in it. Pack preserves cold, bring the sirup in which they have stood to boiling, test, and if of proper density pour over the packed preserves, pad dling to remove all air bubbles. If not of the' right weight for packing, the sirup must be concentrated by boiling. To seal properly and to in sure safety from mold it is necessary to process all- preserves.

Next morn ing drain and let stand 1 to 2 hours in fresh cold water. Drain well and boil rapidly in strong inger tea (1 ounce ginger to 1 quart water) for 15 minutes. Drain, put into a 30 de gree sirup made - by using 1 pint strained ginger tea with 1 quart wa ter and 1 1-2 pounds of sugar. Cook until tender and transparent (about 1 1-2 hours). After boiling a half hour add half a lemon sliced thin. Place in shallow pans to cool, having the rind well covered with 3irup. When cool arrange pieces attractive ly in jars, cover to overflowing with sirup. Cap, clamp, and process. The packing sirup for preserved and gingered watermelon rind (also figs) should be between No. 5 and No. 6.
