Holland Realty and Insurance Co. Gastonia, 132 W. Main Ave. INTEREST IN CANNING. v aft Has Grown So That the Services of an Additional Demonstration Agent Are Found Necessary Mrs. Woods' Secured. That the housewives of Gastonia are making every effort tp do "their bit" in the great campaign' for tne conservation of food inaugurated a few months ago, is shown by the num ber ef canning clubs organized with in the past ten days. Through the efforts of Miss Ella Belle Copeland, the demonstration agent who is working under the di rection of the Gastonia Chamber of Commerce, more than thirty clubs have been organized. So great is the demand for inror matlon and instruction it has Deen found necessary to employ an assist ant to Miss Copeland. The Chamber of Commerce considers itself fortu nate in being able to secure tne ser vice of Mrs. Hannah Woods. Mrs. t oods has had considerable exper ience and is well qualified to take this work. Beginning next Monday morning Mrs. Woods will begin demonstrations in the latest method of drying. She will visit those clubs first that have already had demonstrations in can ning. Miss Copeland will continue, rir the time being, with the. canning work. As has been previously stated in these columns all kinds of vege tables, as well as fruits, can be saved by this new bnt simple method at drying. On account of the high price of tin cans and glass jars and tne economy and the simplicity witn Which the drying is done it is thought even greater interest and enthusiasm will be shown in this. There is no charge for tneso dem onstrations, as some seem to thlnfc. It is done by the Chamber of Com merce in an effort to benefit our city and community. If there are communities In Gas tonia that do not have a club, do not wait, but call Miss Copeland or J. ii. Holland, phone No. 66, and tho first open daSe will be given you. Mrs. R. D.

June 23 to 30 "has been designated as Recruiting Week in all parts of the United States as a means of se curing enough men to fill up tne gaps in the regular army. Since Gaston county has already furnlsn ed a large number her quota has been reduced to a minimum and the call now is only for 25 men. From the local recruiting station all this week posters and literature urging the young men to volunteer have been circulating. Sergeant In gram early in the week coined this slogan: "Are you one of the 25?" and streamers bearing those words have been posted on the windshields ot automobiles and other places of prominence about the city. In addi tion to the silent posters Sergeant Ingram and his three assistants have themselves been working faitn- fully in an effort to reach their goal by Saturday night. . While a number of men have been secured there Is still room for others and it is hoped that the Gastonia station will not fall below the mark allotted it this week. WE'RE TRYING TO IX) OUR BIT.
