I o ie An old adage says: "Needless!v waste makes woeful want", which j n means that if you let a bean, a! t ' squash, a tomato or any vegetable j v rot in your garden you will prob-! t ! agly want it in the winter. I The Civic Club is prepared to a handle all. of the surplus vegetables! 0 ant| fruits. Every Tuesday and Fri-;v ' day canning will be done at the c ' home vof Mrs. D. A. Rogers. The i 0 club has a supply of cans which will j c be sold at the rate of six cents for| a three-pound can. Five cents a1 can will be-charged to cover the1 actual expense necessary to running . the cannery. The following re- c j quirements are to be followed : ' Vegetables or fruits to be canned 1 MUST be gathered the same day 8 that they are canned and sent to * Mrs. Rogers by ten o'clock in the * morning. Positively nothing gather-' ^ ed the day before will be handled, j1 I Snm# npnnlp are savincr that ev-! erything is so high that they can't J afford to buy cans but if these same people will ask any merchant they . will be informed that all canned I i goods will be high this year and hard to get. Several years ago to1 matoes retailed for $1.00 a dozen or, |8 1-3 cents a can, now they cost j 20 cents a can and will be higher in the fall. Dessert peaches are \ selling now for 40 cents a can which J means they cost $3.00 a dozen' ! wholesale, with the freight added: 1 to that.
