President’s Taste in Literature
Washington dispatches reveal in
teresting facts about President Hard
ing’s taste in literature. It is stated
that Don C. Seitz’s “Artemus Ward,
a Biography and Bibliography," is
permanently lodged on the official ma
hogany desk, sharing that honor only
with the Congressional Directory.
This recalls the fact that another
President, Lincoln, also had the Arte
mus Ward habit during working
hours, often turning to the latest
jokes and lectures of the famous hu
morist for rest and recreation.
In addition to the relaxation afford
ed by Artemus Ward, there are many
hints on how to hold the Presidential
office, or indeed, any political position.
In the role of the “waxwurks” show
man, Charles Farrar Browne, or
Artemus Ward, WTote:
“We must fetch the public sumhow.
We must wurk on their feelins. Cum
the moral on ’em strong. It it’s a
temperance community tell ’em I sign
ed the pledge fifteen minits arter Ise
born, but on the eontery ef your peo
ple take their tods, say Mister Ward
is as Jenial a fe'ler as we ever met,
full of conviviality, and the life an
sole of the Soshul Bored. . . . You
scratch my back and lie scratch your
back.”
One of the members of Mr. Line
oln’s cabinet, E. Stanton, has left for
us the following picture in Mr. Seitz’s
hook: “On the 22nd of Sept, 1862, I
nad a sudden and peremptory call to
a Cabinet meeting at the White House
4 * * * I found the historic W'ar Cab
inet of Abraham Lincoln * * * * The
President hardly noticed me as I came
in. He was reading a book of some
kind which seemed to amuse him * * *
He finally turned to us and said:
‘Gentlemen, did you ever read any
thing from Artemus Ward? * * * *
With the fearful strain that is upon
men night and day, if I did not laugh
I should die, and you need this medi
cine as much as I do.’ He then put
bis hand in his tall hat that sat upon
the table, and pulled out a little paper.
Turning to the members of the Cabi
net, he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have called
you here on very important busi
ness * * * *' And, to my astonishment
he read the Emancipation Proclama
tion of that date * * * * containing
the vital provision that * * * all per
sons held as slaves * * * shall be hence
forth and forever free. I arose, ap
proached the President, extended my
hand and said: ‘Mr. President, if read
ing chapters of Artemus Ward is a
prelude to such a deed as this the book
should be filed among the archives
of the nation and the author should
be canonized.’ ”

Mr. and Mrs. Ryalg Move
The people of Princeton and sur
rounding community regret to lose
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Ryals from their
midst they having moved to Goldsboro
recently.
Mr. Ryals has made his home in
Princeton for the last four or five
years, and has pursued various lines
of work. He has been successful and
proven highly efficient in each of his
trades. He first worked the sewing
machine business and was never sat
isfied till nearly every home in the
community had a nice Singer machine.
Next he canvassed the county over
ard succeed in placing lightning rods
( n many of the nicest dwellings and
barns of the county. For the last two
years he was engaged in the real es
tate and insurance business. Mr Ry
als was the only man who ever con
ducted such a business in this com
munity and he did a very successful
business.
There are now more than one family
living in good circumstances who
might have been forced to tell a dif
ferent story had it not been for the
solicitations of Mr. Ryals.
Besides his good business ability
Mr. Ryals stood high socially and was
respected by the best people of the
community. He was a mason and
was ever ready to help those in need
He had the misfortune to i.cse his
home and entire furnishings tyy lire a
tew weeks ago, and because of the
shortage of dwellings in Princeton he
was forced to move away.. He is now
making his home in Goldsboro and
we shall be glad to welcome him
back any time he may desire to come.

JELLY MAKING AND RECIPES
Miss Garrison. Home Demonstration
Agent, Has Furnished Us With
Following on Jelly Making
In making jelly always select firm
fruit or berries not overripe. This
fruit must contain acid and pectin.
The pectin is a carbonydrate which
has been very little investigated. For
our purposes it is sufficient to know
that it is essential for successful jel
ly-making. Heating is necessary in
order to extract pectin from the fruit.
Frequently when no pectin is found
in the raw, pressed juice of certain
fruits, juice cooked out of the same
fruit will yield large amounts of it.
Pectin for use with fruits with lit
tle pectin—Some fruits have not
enough pectin to form a jelly, and it
becomes necessary to obtain this pec
tin from other fruits. It has been dis
covered that from the white skin of
the orange, when properly treated, a
great deal of pectin may be extracted.
Here is a method wrhich has been sug
gested by Dr. Straughn, of the United
States Bureau of Chemistry:
Peal every particle of the outside
yellow skin of the orange, cutting it
off as thin as possible. Remove all
the white peel. Grind this peel with
a meat chopper, and to each cupful
pressed down add the juice of a lem
on and allow to stand one hour. Add
2 cups of water. Heat to boiling and
boil 5 minutes. Set aside until next
morning; then add 4 cups of water,
heat to boiling, and boil 10 minutes.
Allow to cool, drip through cheese
cloth, and then through bag. This
pectin may be prepared, poured into
jars while hot, sealed, sterilized, and
kept for later use. The peel which
has been allowed to drain may be a
gain treated as described and a quan
tity of pectin will be obtained.
Pectin Test—A most valuable aid in
determining when a juice contains
sufficient pectin is the alcohol pectin
test. Pour a teaspoonfull of fruit
juice into a cup and pour into the
cup a teaspoonfull of grain alcohol
of 95 per cent strangth; mix by gent
ly shaking, then pour into a spoon.
If the precipitated pectin is in a solid
lump it is safe to add a measure of
sugar to a measure of juice in making
jelly; if, however, it has not gathered
in one lump the amount of sugar
should be decreased. If test shows
small amount of pectin, use 1 cup
of sugar to 1 pint of juice. A pretty
safe plan is to use 3-4 as much sugar
as juice.
‘lo juicy fruit add the smallest
possible amount of water. When
heated through, crush the fruit and
cook the whole mass thoroughly.
Strain through moistened flannel
bag.” Always have a drip bag of
stout material that the pulp may not
ooze through. To extract all the
juice through another bag to make
it clear.
Never cook in a tin or iron vessel,
and never cook with the lid on the
vessel. If a lot of jelly is to be made
at one time, use several vessels as
flavor and texture of jelly are better
when small quantity is made.
Jelly is one of the things that can
not be repacked. Its firmness is de
stroyed when it is reheated. There
fore, have the glasses and jars ready
for Ailing when the jelly is cooked.
Peaches, pears and huckleberries do
not make good jelly. These are best
in preserves and jams.
The Jelly Bag—White flannel, cut
into a square and two adjacent sides.
French-seamed together, makes the
best home-made jelly bag. If the two
open sides are hemmed and loops
placed at comer and seam, the bag
may easily be hung on nails while the
juice is dripping.
Cooking the Jelly—Sugar should be
added slowly as soon as juice begins
to boil.
Rapid boiling produces a clearer
jelly. The jelly should, therefore, be
boiled rapidly until the jelly stage is
reached.
Pouring Jelly into Glasses—The
glasses should be sterilized by putting
them into a vessel of cold water and
letting the water come to the boiling
temperature and boiling for 5 min
utes. Remove the glasses from the
water, drain while hot, and pour jelly
in as soon as it has reached the jelly
stage.
Skimming—The jelly need not be
skimmed until cooking is completed.
Apple Jelly—In making apple jelly
select a good tart apple, firm and
juicy. Wash well and take out all de
fective spots. Cut into quarters
straight through the core and do not
peel. The core and peeling give a
great deal of pectin, which is needed
in jelly-making. Put these pieces in
a porcelain-lined or agate vessel to
cook. For each measure or weight
of apple taken there should be added
at least 1 measure or weight of water.
With some fruits which are hard and
difficult to cook it is the practice to
add 1 1-2 measure or weight of water
to each measure or weight of fruit
taken. Cook until they are quite soft.
Have ready a bag of unbleached mus
lin or flannel, which should be hung
from a strong nail or hook, pour into
it the cooked apples, and allow’ them
to drip overnight into a large bowl.
The juice thus obtained is measured
next morning; and for every pint of
juice add 1 level pint of sugar. Cook
this mixture in a porcelain-lined or
agate vessel until it jells—that is, un
til it slides in sheets from the spoon..
Practice will make one expert in de
termining when jelly is cooked
enough.
After jelly is done, pour it in glass
es which have been sterilized. Set
away in a cool place, covering with
a cloth, and next morning melt paraf
fin and pour a thin coating over ev
ery glass or jar. Never seal jelly
while hot.
Put the top on the glass, write
name on label, and paste it under the
bottom of the glass.
Blackberry Jelly — Blackberries
should not be fully ripe for good jel
ly. Wash them and place in a vessel
with 1 quart of water to 1-2 bushel of
fruit. Cook until soft. Put into the
bag, let drip, measure 1 pint of juice
to 1 pint of sugar, and proceed as in
apple jelly.
Scuppernong Jelly—Grapes should
not be fully ripe. Wash and place in
vessel both the grape and the hull.
It is best to pop the grape from the
hull before cooking. Cook until soft,
pour into a bag, let drip, measure 1
pint of juice to 1 level pint of sugar,
and proceed as in apple jelly. Scup
pemong jelly made without the hulls
is of light amber color and quite flat
and insipid. When the hulls are add
ed a beautiful red color and a delicious
acid flavor is obtained.
To prevent cream of tartar cryst
als forming in scuppernong or any
ocher grape jelly, can the boiled juice
in glass jars and leave until the crys
tals form and deposit. The juice can
then be poured off and used as given
in the recipe.
Mint Jelly—Take 1 pint orange
pectin as prepared above, heat to
boiling. Add 1 pound of sugar. Boil
until jelly stage is reached. At this
point add green vegetable coloring
(Burnett’s) a very small quantity on
one tine of a fork will be sufficient.
Add 2 drops of oil of peppermint.
Stir thoroughly. Pour into glasses.
How to Get Picric Acid
The following letter was received
by County Agent S. J. Kirby, in re
gard to Picric Acid available for far
mers:
“Receipt is acknowledged of your
inquiry regarding explosives that the
Department of Agriculture may have
available for distribution to land
owners for agricultural purposes.
You are informed that the only ex
plosive that the Department of Agri
culture has for distribution for agri
cultural purpose is some 12,500,000
pounds picric acid. It is proposed to
distribute this explosive among the
landowners of each state through the
State agricultural college or some
other State agency. The picric acid
is now stored in bulk and must be
eartridged before it can be used for
land clearing purposes. The persons
receiving shipments of the picric acid
will be required to pay the cost of
cartridging and packing, as well as
the freight charges on such amounts
as they receive. As prepared for use
the picric acid can be used in exact
ly the same manner as is dynamite,
excepting that a somewhat more pow
erful cap is required to explode it.
The Bureau of Public Roads, De
partment of Agriculture, will super
vise the preparation and distribution
of the picric acid. The Bureau is
now engaged in formulating the plans
under which the distribution will be
made and is preparing instructions
for the. use of picric acid in land
clearing work. It is hoped to have this
information available for distribution
in the near future. Your name has
been listed to receive this informa
tion as soon as it becomes available.
Very truly yours,
THOS. H. MACDONALD,
Chief of Bureau.

Newspapers The Great Medium of
Advertising
Des Moines, Iowa, July 6.—Adver
tising is the most important factor
in modern business, Dr. John J. Tig
ert, United States commisioner of
education declared in an address here.
“Important as are the factors of la
bor, raw material, production, mar
keting and organization, none of these
are as significant today as advertis
ing,” he said.
“In 1911, the newspaper was the
great medium of advertising and it
still stands as such. It is the only
medium that can be used for immed
iate effect.”
We are asked to state that Rev.
J. W. Goodrich will preach at Wilson's
Mills Baptist church next Sunday
July 10th, morning and night.
