SEVERAL CAN'ING RECIPES
" GIVEN TO HOUSEWIVES
How To Can Dewberries, Black
berries and Raspberries and
How To Make Jams Outlined
From Bulletin of Experts.
Dewberries, Blackberries, and Rasp
berries. To can dewberries, black
berries, and raspberries the following
method will prove satisfactory. Gath
er berries when ripe but firm. Place
in wire basket of canner or in a mus
lin sack and plunge into boiling water
1 minute (blanch). This will slightly
soften the berries and enable you to
put almost twice as many in a can or
jar. It will also prevent that con
dition where berries rise to the top of
the jar, leaving at least one-third of
the space filled with juice.
Pack the sterilized can or jar to
within 1-4 inch of the top with ber
ries. Fill the spaces and cover th
berries well with a syrup made of I
quart of the water in which the ber
ries have been blanched and 1 pint of
sugar.
The flavor of all canned berries is
finer when syrup or sugar is added.
Exhaust No. 3 tin cans 3 minutes.
Process No. 3tin cans 10 minutes.
Process quart glass jars 25 minutes,
permitting jars to remain lightly
sealed while processing. As you lift
jars one at the time from the canner,
seal tightly immediately.
Garden Peas. Use No. 2 cans or
pint jars for peasj as it is very diffi
cult to sterilize them in 'arger jars.
Grade the peas, keeping the young
and tender small peas in a different
vessel from the larger and older peas.
This grading is necessary to prevent
spoilage. Large peas require a' much
longer boiling period than young-.and
tender ones. -- - -'
Place small peas in sack and plunge
into boiling water for 3 minutes, then
into cold. (This is called blanching.)
Large peas must be blanched 5 min
utes. Pack peas in No. 2 can, fill with
brine and add 1 teaspoonful of sugar.
Exhause 3 minutes and process 1 hour
and 15 minutes after water is boiling
furiously. For older peas process
1 1-2 hour.
Peas must be processed or boiled the
same length of time on each of three
days.
Remove from the canner after first
day's processing and set aside until
next day. Return to the canner on
second day, boil tender peas 1 hour,
iarger peas 1 1-2 hour. Remove from
canner and set aside until the third
day, when the last processing or boil
is done. Boil tender peas 1 hour and
larger peas 1 1-2 hour.
When canning peas in glass, pro
cess pint jars of tender peas 1 1-2
hour. Process pint jars of older peas
2 hours. '
Jam is much easier to make than
preserves. It differs 'from preserves
m the method of coolcing, the object
here being to cook the fruit into a
soft pulp that can be mashed and
Wended into a smooth paste. Black
berries, strawberries, raspberries, and
such soft fruits as clear-stone peaches
and figs make excellent jam.
As in preserves, 1 pound of fruit xu
3-4 pound of sugar is the proportion
used. Put fruit and sugar into' pre
serving kettle with enough water to
Prevent burning. Boil slowly until
tender, mash fruit with wooden bat or
sPoon, and continue to cook slowly
until fruit is a smooth, thick mass.
Jam is much thicker when cold than
when hot. t '
Packing Jams. After jam is done
t should be poured immediately into
pot or jar No. 5042, which has
been thoroughly sterilized and allow
ed to stand in hot water. If the jam
?t is used, the jam should be poured
jnto it while boiling hot and the ster

C h m. Jon e s Reply
To The Ex-Mayor
When the honorable J. C. Hardy
(who has seen fit .to open up with a
tirade of a column or more against
me as Superintendent of Schools, or
Chairman of the Board, or Acting
Superintendent) was . repudiated by
the people of his own home town and
turned OUT of the office of Mayor;
when he bolted the action of a Dem
ocratic primary and ran as candidate
for Mayor against the regularly nom
inated Democratic candidate who de
feated him; when he was again de
feated by the citizens of his town in
the, election, some of 'whom in their
over-zealous rejoicing dug a grave
and buried him in effigy, no man
heard me rejoice, nor no -man read a
line of expressed satisfaction in my
newspaper. 1 had every personal and
political reason to rejoice, but I knew
he had been repudiated by the FOLKS
and the knowledge was satisfaction
enough. In the face of a rebuke ad
ministered by hiw own townsmen, 1
would have naturally concluded "that
a decent respect for the opinion of
mankind" would have caused him to'
curb his enmity, and simply state the
facts, without airing his own view of
the motives of men who stand as high
in public estimation as he is held, to
say the least. He tells his readers
that I will accept pay as Chairman
of the Board and pay as acting-Superintendent,
in spite of the fact that
a statement made by me that I would
not accept pay as member of the
Board was made publically to the
Board and published in the Warren
Record and entered upon the minutes
of the Board. If he hopes to make
friends for liimself or enemies fot me,
he is sadly disappointed. I can only
account for his outbreak from force
of habit and from a greatly overes
timated opinion of his knowledge of
law and of his influence in the Coun-,
ty. Having been; proven .by ' his own
constituents that his knowledge of
law and his influence are both at low
ebb, and having been buried in effigy,
"I'll carve-not a:ine, 111 raise nota
'-stone .,..;,.
But leave him alone in his glory."

School Closing
Huge Success
Opera House Fails To Seat Big
Crowd; Dr. Brewer Delivers
Address; Affirmative Wins
The closing exercises of the War
renton High School were staged be
fore a large audience here Friday
night in the Opera House and many
were forced to miss the exercises be
cause of lack of standing room.
The debate was warmly contested'
and all speeches delivered with abil
ity. Misses Norma Connell and Jos
ephine Hudgins representing the af
firmative were victorious in the forty
minute debate. Messrs. J. Y. Kerr
and Sumner Watson of the negative
launched forth with facts, figures and
well balanced rhetoric but the dawn
of woman's new empire and the able
representatives of this new day were
all there and the decision of the
judges, Rev. Baxter, Rev. Jones and
Mr. Frank Gibbs, was unquestionably
i it. 1 j
wie, tne audience tnougnt.
Dr. Charles E. Brewer, president of
Meredith, was introduced by Rev. C.
A. Jones. Taking as his theme "Prac
tical Education." Dr. Brewer thor
oughly discussed the purpose of the
modern educ.'ttion as a means of fit
ting for feood citizenship. He was
warm in praise for classic learning
insofar as it bordered upon the prac
tical application and stressed the point
that the school was the gateway of
greater service thru an educated citi
zenship. ,
Supt. J. Edward Allen followed Dr.
Brewer's remarks with a statement
that the selfsame ideal forming the
background for the excellent speech
preceeding was receiving practical
application here, and the one aim of
the local school was to give every boy
and girl of this community a greater
vision and a nobler conception. of the
duty of good citizenship.
The class exercises were esially
good this - year. Laughter was gen
eral when President Booth presented
the freshman class a baby doll. His
class address was well delivered.

Dr. Howell Peacock, Representing The
State Board of Health, Arrives To
Begin Month's Campaign.
Dr. Howell Peacock, of Georgia, un
der the direction of the State Board
of Health, arrived in Warren today to
make final arrangements for the anti
typhoid vaccine campaign which is to
be launched in the county this week.
Dr. Peacock will begin the cam
paign in Jjittleton Thursday morning
at 9 o'clock. He will also visit Jack
Johnston's store and Elams on the
same day. It is important that all
those desiring to be vaccinated be on
time at the hour an4 place specified.
New or standard time is the schedule
upon which th' appointments are run,
announces the Boards of Health,
which also states "that , everybody
from 3 years old to one hundred
should be vaccinated." '
This is, one of the thirty counties
that have arranged .with the State
Board of Health for the free vaccina
tion during the coming summer of its
citizens against typhoid fever. Under
the arrangement, the county has
agreed to pay the State Board of
Health 12 1-2 cents for each person
completely vaccinated. 1
The State Board of Health will hold
four vaccination dispensaries, one
every week, at each point throughout
the county. By holding the four
dispensaries at each place, two oppor
tunities are afforded every citizen for
complete vaccination; that is to say,
if a person is prevented from attend
ing a dispensary on the opening day,
he will have three days left for being
vaccinated, complete vaccination re
quiring successive hypodermic injec
tions. The places, hours, and dates

There are three important reasons
why every citizen should take advan
tage of .this opportunity to be vacci
nated against typhoid fever: (1) The
most important reason is that vacci
nation protects against one of the
mostj prevalent, most costly, most
fatal of acute diseases typhoid fever.
(2). Another good reason is that if
every citizen will take advantage of
this opportunity, a larger percentage
of the population of this county will
be vaccinated than that of any othe
county and in such an event the State
Board, of Health agrees to assume the
entire expense of the county cam
paigns Let everybody realize their
responsibility"" to themselves and to
their vcounty, and we 'shall win this
prize. (3). "Another reason-why the
good citizen should endorse this cam
paign by being vaccinated is that-if
the State Board of Health finds that
the people really appreciate this
piece of work it will extend the plan
to all parts of the State, serving
thirty counties next summer and
thirty) the following summer, return
ing t$ I the thirty i counties -; that f orin
the, firtoney including this one, every
third year. - The citizen, then, Jby en
dorsing this piece of work is not oniy
doing something for himself and for
his county, 'but for his State, -he is
perhaps saving his own life and en
couraging a work that will result in
the saving of hundreds and thousands
of lives in North Carolina.

in New York would "be most thor
oughly prosecuted."
The President said he had felt it
"was . highly undesirable officially to
communicate the text of a document
which is till in negotiation and subject
to change," and that anyone who had
possession of the official English text
"has . what he is clearly not entitled
to have or to communicate."
This statement by the President
strengthened the belief of officials
here that he would not comply with
the request of the. Senate that the
treaty text be furnished it at this
time. . . .

Washington, June 9. Out of a whirl

arid, after a five hour fight, ordered it
printed in the public record.
At the same time it got under way
the i investigation of how copies have
reached private hands in New York
by summoning to testify a half dozen
of. the country 's leading financiers.
The copy which went into the record
was- brought to this . country by

Director J. Edward Allen An
nounces All In Readiness
For Summer School Here
Director J. Edward Allen announces
that all is in readiness for the open
ing of the Warren County Summer
school for teachers, which is to last
from June 16 to July 11th. For the
fJrst time the names of the instruc
tors are now published. The primary
work will be in charge of Mrs. D. P.
Boyer, of Richmond, Va. Miss,Boyer
is a graduate of Winthrop College,
Rock Hill, S. C, and has ' attended
summer schools of Winthrop College,
the University of Tennessee and the
University of Virginia. She taught
primary and grammar grade work1 in
the schools of Denmark, S. C, Lau
rens, S. C, and Salisbury, N. C. She
has been principal of primary schools
in Elizabeth City and Kinston, N. C.,
and .is now first grade teacher in the
Richmond, Va.V city schools. . She has
had noteworthyeperience vin .teacher
training; Vas assistant " Primary
Supervisor in te Virginia State Nor
mal Schools, Farmville, Va., and has
been instructor in. Primary Methods
in the summer schools and institutes
of South' Carolina, North Carolina
and the Virginia State Normal.
Grammar grade work will be in
charge of Miss Mary E. Young, who
comes with exceedingly high recom
mendations from Superintendent Al
derman, of the Henderson schools.
She is a graduate of Salemn College
and of the teachers' course of the
State Normal. She has had seven
years' experience as a grammar

In the hands of these two ladies,
and 6f Director J. Edward Allen, the ;
greatest part of the actual instruction
will rest. Supt. J. E. Allen studied

cations. He holds the Superintend-
ent's certificate, the most difficult of
all to obtain. , ,
Mention must be made of the work
in Domestic Science and in School
Law. Teachers are required to know
school law, and Superintendent How
ard F. Jones, is thoroughly qualified
to present , the subject. He has his
course very carefully outlined, and af
ter the four week's study it is believed
that not a single teacher taking it
will have any. excuse for failing to
pass the subject.
In Domestic Science the Summer
school is peculiarly fortunate. Miss
Annie Lee Rankin, County '." Demon
stration Agent, has consented to take
charge of the course. " It will be given
in her office in the Court House,
where she has a complete set of new
equipment. Actual cooking will' do
seryjed. There will be 12 lessons, be
ginning at 11:30 and lasting 1 1-4
hours. Many peopB who are not
teachers are interested in the course;
and these are invited to attend, to the
limit of the capacity pf the rooms.
It is believed that the Summer
School will be a great success. In
quiries are being received from other (

FROM FRENCH AND AMERI
CAN GOVERNMENTS
Gets Six German Planes As Mem
ber of the 94th Aero Squadron
and Is Entertained In New
York On Return to America-
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Palm
er, of Bennettsville, and grandson, of
Mrs. Sue B. White, of this city. A
Warrenton boy formerly.
New York, May 31. The famous
Ninety-fourth pursuit squadron,
formerly commanded by Eddie
Rickenbacher, returned today on
the transport Louisville. The squad
ron has "been ofically credited with
downing seventy enemy planes and
unofficially with forty-two others.
The squadron returned in command
ci Major Read Chambers, of Mem
phis, Tenn., a wearer of the "D. S. C,
Legion of Honor and Croix de Gueric.
Others in the organization include:.
Capts. William W. Palmer, Ben
nettsville, S. C, Croix ,de Guerre and
D. S. C; Samuel Kaye, Jr., Colum
bus, Miss., Croix de Guerre, and Lieut.
Robert C. Cates, Jr., Spartanburg, S
C, Croix de Guerre.
The 94th is said to have bagged the
first and last German planes during
America's participation in the war.
It was the only air squaron. which
went to Coblenz with the American
army of occupation. The total cas
ualties were ten killed, five wounded
and three taken prisoner.
Among the flyers of the command
who were killed was Major Raoul Luf- 1
burry. Capt. James Norman Hall
was one of those taken prisoner.
The insigna of the , squaron, a red,
white and blue hat in a ring, was a
token which the Germans became f a
miltar withat a big cost to them. The .
American flyers met and defeated
Germany's premier squadron, led by
the famous Richtenhofer at Chateau
Thierry last July, and they had many
victorious battles over the Toul sec
tor and Rheims. The squadron also
downed a number of enemy observa
tion balloons.
Cr.pt. Richenbacher, with other not
ed flyers formerly members of the
squadron, was to have met the re
turned unit, but this reception went
away owing to the fact that previous
reports had indicated the Louisville
would not dock until tomorrow.
Reception in New York
The New York Herald, of Sunday,
June 1, published pictures of "Four
American Aces," including "Capt. -Wm.
Palmer, who accounted for five
or six enemy machines." The Herald
says: "All the homecoming members
of te squadron are to be the guests of
the American Flying Club at a din
ner to be given in the club next Tues
day evening, at" which Captain Rich-
enbacher will preside." e
Capt. Palmer is expected to reach
Bennettsville some time this week.
