Franklin Terrace Hotel ROOMS AND BOARD FOR PERMANENT WINTER GUESTS Reasonable Rate Quoted Upon Request Merchants Warned About Forged WPA Checks 1 The Press is requested by Lewis O. Padgett, agent in charge of the United States treasury secret serv ice fot this district, to print the following warning in regard to the cashing of government checks: Because of large losses suffered by retail storekeepers and mer chants in accepting checks on the Treasurer of the United States bearing the. FORGED endorse ment of the payee, the U. S. sec ret service earnestly urges that you secure positive identification before accepting the Government check unless the person presenting same is known to you or your clerks to be the rightful payee.. It is a fact that a majority of WPA checks are cashed by the rightful owners in small stores in their immediate neighborhood and the payee is well known to the storekeeper. Therefore, it is well to become immediately suspicious of a stranger who offer you a government check, especially if the addressof the payee shown on the face of the-check is located at a distance from your store. Inas much as the storekeeper who ac cepts a stolen and forged govern ment check is the loser, caution should be exercised in 'cashing them. A strictly enforced rule to demand identification before cash ing government and other checks will eliminate losses to the storekeepers. Hog Killing Time By E. J. WHITMIRE, ' Agricultural Teacher Franklin High School FRANKS RADIO & ELECTRIC CO. SALES AND SERVICE Licensed Electric Contractor Phone 1804 McCoy BIdg. Loyal Order of Moose Franklin Lodge, No. 452 Meets In American Legion Hall Every Thursday Night 7:30 O'CLOCK Billy Bryson, Secretary Boy's Composition On Englishmen (The following composition 'by a Franklin boy, written several years ago and upon which he re ceived a grade "A" is of more than academic . interest just now, when future history depends . largely on the "characteristics of English men." Ed.) CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGLISHMEN The Englishman is active in thought and body. He has a de sire to see things going and not standing still and is impatient if they do. His courage and willing ness' to take a chance are develop ed to high degree. He, has a stub born disposition and practically al ways looks to the future with the desire and belief that better things are to come and the willingness to do all in his power so that they will; never knowing . when he is down. A failure on his part makes him burn with the desire to do the thing he wants to do and he will use his ingenuity and energy to accomplish it. He has a lot of personal pride and always as a rule thinks his .. point of view is right, and is quick in argument if you differ with him. It is not unusual to pass a farm at this season of the year and See .a hog killing. The cool No vember nights have given us the hog killing fever. By giving our meat better care the quality can be improved great ly. Keep that hog off of feed for 24 hours before-killing. By doing so the hog will not have as much food in the blood; therefore it will bleed more. Blood left in the meat ,. is one of the best ways to cause spoilage. Let the hog hang over night so that all the animal heat will leave it, also a better job can be done cutting, the carcass when it has been chilled. In trimming the hams, shoulders, and tacon, be sure to remove the excess; fat and scraps. The trim mings are not wasted. The fat can be rendered into lard and the lean ground jnto sausage. The usual practice is to buy a hundred pounds of salt every time a hog is killed. The meat is bur ied in the plain salt before it cools off. Here it stays until it is eaten or sold. Burying in the salt is what makes our pork so saltv. This is not necessary to keep pork. The dry sugar method has proven successful and is a sure method in hot weather. Take eight pounds of salt, three pound, of brown sugar, three ounces of saltpeter and mix together throughly. This is enough to cure one hundred pounds of meat. Place the chilled meat on a table and apply the mixture thorT oughly. Now the cuts are ready to be placed in a box or barrel. Let the cuts stay in the mixture three days for each pound. Example: ,If a ham weighs 14 pounds, it should stay in 42 days. If a middling weighs 18 pounds it .should stay, in 54 days. Take the cuts out accord ding to their weight when the cur ing period is over. Brush the mix ture off. The flavor will be . im proved by rubbing black pepper on the meat. Smoking will improve the flavor. Use a slow smoke made by burning hickory wood, or apple will do. Smoke the meat until it has a straw color. Place the cuts in paper or cloth bags and hang up. . Try curing a ham by the method described above. Notice the sweet flavor and the softness:, of the meat. You will like this method because the cost is low. Macon county can increase her income, by curing quality hams. u J SUNDAY International SCHOOL - LESSON By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean ot The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.

F. l'oole, plant patholo gist of State college, reports that the quality of Irish potato seed stock available in Maine is better than in many years. He recently spent two weeks inspecting fields of Cobblers in the New Jingland section. "There is very little late blight, black leg scab, and Khizoctonia in the seed potatoes as compared wan other years," he said. "We will not get much nicrosis such as snown up m the seed stock two years ago. The size of the potatoes is iiuiucive to good seed stock." nowever, Dr. Poole reported much concern in Maine over a new .bacterial disease. "In fields where the disease was found, the potatoes were eliminated from cer tification," he stated. "For this rea son growers should not purchase selected seed because of the danger of it being infected with the organism that causes the bacterial wilt. One niay get good seed from selected .stock; on the other hand it may be badly diseased. Certified seed is worth the difference in price." The plant pathologist said that Cobbler potatoes are not as badly infected by the new wilt as Kat hadins and Green Mountains. In his report on the seed potato outlook in Maine, Dr. Poole said that the dry weather in that seci tion during the summer made a great reduction in the yields. "How ever, the Cobbler variety was har vested before the fall rains began," he explained. Buy certified seed for hiihpr yields and more economical pro duction," wa bis parting advice. PUTTING GOD'S KINGDOM ., . FIRST . LESSON TEXT Matthew 8:19-34. GOLDEN TEXT But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness. Matthew 6:33. Said the Roblti to the Sparrow: "I should really like to know Why these anxious human beings Bush about and worry so." Said the Sparrow to the Robin: "Friend, I think that it must be That they have no Heavenly Father Such as cares for you and me." i Elizabeth Cheney. Most men are rushing about mad ly. Worry presses them down. They wonder whether life is worth while, whether somewhere there is not relief from this nervous tension that Is destroying mind and body. Well, there is relief and it consists of but one ingredient. Give God His proper place, the first place in your life, and "all these things" (Matt 6:33) will take their rightful places. Seeking first the kingdom of God will settle . every problem about money, about food and clothing, and about the future. I. Money (w. 19-24). The word in our text is "treas ures," and we know that it has a broader meaning than money, but since in our day men seem to trans late all values into dollars, we feel free to use that word "money" to express our thoughts. The treasure is something that one has placed somewhere in order to keep it for himself. It is not a thing gathered for the purpose of using it to serve others or to serve God, but something put away on the shelf to be kept for one's own en joyment There are two places in which a man can lay up treasure, on earth or in heaven; but it is only as he hoards treasure on earth that he becomes selfish. That which he ' sends on to heaven by his devotion of life and in service to Christ, by his sacrificial giving to the cause of Christ, by his encouragement of those who are witnessing for Christ, all this is done for the glory of God and without hpe of reward. How great will be the surprise of some when they come to heaven and find j what they have thus laid up for I eternity. Laying up treasures on this earth, on the other hand, leads to covet ousness, to enslavement to one's possessions (be they great or small), and to the evils that follow like a train in the wake of a love of money. n. Food and Clothing (w. 25-32). Some who have no great desire to amass riches are nevertheless in constant anxiety about food and raiment for the morrow; in fact, it Is true of some who have great riches that they live in fear lest next month or next year or ten years from now they may be in need. What is the answer of the Lord Jesus? Consider the birds. They are not able to work nor are they able to pray, but God feeds them. Consider the glory of the flowers of the fields, for not even a king can dress himself in such beauty. "Are ye not much better than they?" (v. 28). "As far as known, no bird ever tried to build more nests than its neighbors; no fox ever fretted be cause it had, only one hole in which to hide; no squirrel ever died of anxiety lest he should not lay up enough nuts for two winters Instead of one; and no dog ever lost any sleep over the fact that he did not have enough bones laid aside for his declining years" (Public Health Service). Proper forethought is good and right for we are intelligent beings, but anxiety about our daily needs is always dishonoring to God. III. The Future (vv. 33, 34). Why will we fret ourselves about the future? It is in God's hands, and even if it were in our hands, what could we do about it? Even tomorrow, with its needs and its blessings. With its Joy and its sor rows, is not yet here, and when it does come, there will be God's gra cious provision for each passing hour. Unsaved friend, will you not take the Lord Jesus Christ just how as your personal Saviour and let Him solve the problems of your life as you put the kingdom of God first? Christian friend, if you too have been bearing burdens which are not honoring to God, will you not tell Him just now, and put them down at the feet of the Lord Jesus? "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for, you" (I Pet. 5:7), which might properly be translated, "Casting all your worries (or dis tractions) on Him, for He worrieth about you." ,. Fall Is Vegetable Garden Time, Too Not many folks give much atten tion - to their vegetable garden at ttiis season , of the year, but that's wrong, says II. R. Niswonger, hor ticulturist of the State college ex tension service. The garden soil 'should be prepared for spring plant ing in , the full, he says.. Give the garden a heavy coat of stable manure or sweepings from the poultry house, Niswonger ad vises.' For each one-horse load of manure, broadcast 25 pounds, 'of 10 per cent superphosphate. If the garden area is not subject to soil erosion, plow the manure under. Leave the soil in the rough and do not harrow or otherwise prepare the soil for planting until about the time preparations are made for the spring garden. , Recommendations of the special ist on storing col lards and cabbage are as follows: Dig a trench deep enough to accommodate the roots and .stems ; pull up the collards and cabbage and set them out in a trench and cover ,botli stems and roots with soil. Set the heads close together but do not pack against each other. Set a plank or board on edge on each side of the trench and Dank on tne outside with soil. Cover with pine brush or corn stalks. When freezing weather ar rives cover with a layer of dirt. Landscape and Beautify Your Home We Plan and Plant Your Yard OR You Gome and Get Them Better Plants for Less Money, and Guaranteed A. A.
