Cuba is showing her friendly
feeling for us now by joining in
with us. Cuba has much to
thank us for, and she seems to
think acts speak louder than
words.
Every available acre should
be made to produce something
to sustain life this year. The
glorious summer is here, and
with it comes the South's great
opportunity. The long winter
is ahead, and if we don't mind
some of us will go hungry.
In some quarters the negro's
loyalty has been questioned, and
as a result a storm of protest has
come irom ine negroes in nil
sections. They ask a chance to
show their loyalty, and they cite
their record in the Civil war as
evidence that the negro may be
depended upon in a time of national
peril. It is very gratifying
to see this spirit.
The other nations of the western
world are following the
lead of the United States in entering
the war to down German
autocracy. They have seen how
the United States tried to remain
neutral and how Germany persisted
in her war on our people.
They see the justice of the move,
and they, one by one, are com
ing out for the right.
The easiest way for Southern
farmers to show their patriotism
just now is to grow an abund
ance of food and feed crops.
.vt h?4?io\vs is serving
^niscountry as well as the man
who shoots. The millions of
earth's inhabitants must have
food. The South is peculiarly
well fitted for supplying food in
abundance, but we are in danger
of loosing our bearing and planting
too much cotton. We can't
eat cotton, and if food becomes
scarce next winter what good
/ will cotton do us if it can't be
turned into something eatable.
The war is on, and the first battles
should be fought in the
fields of the south with plows,
planters and harrows as weapons.
Dame Rumor Arrested Goodly
Number of Peaceable Citizens
Charlotte Observer.
Up until midnight Monday
night, exactly 483 German and
Austrian spies had been arrested
in Charlotte alone. Not more
than two or three were taken in
the remaining portion of the
United States. All of those ar
rested here were immediately
shot?according to rumor.
They, upon being searched,
had complete plans of everything
from the entire military
and naval stren gth, torts and re
sources of the country, down to
Earl Mack's signals for the coming
baseball season.

were worried to death all daylong
about people being arrested.

Hunter?Funderburk.
A marriage of unusual interest
in the Dudley section took
place on Saturday uight, April
7th. A large number of relatives
and friends gathered at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Fuuder
burk to witness the marriage ol
their daughter, Miss Lessie Funderburk,
and Mr. Ranee Hunter,
but the preacher, Rev. B. S
Funderburk, whe was to have
performed the ceremony, did nol
come, so while the guests pleas
antly passed the evening away
the lovers with several othei
young people took a car ride to
Pageland, where Rev. J. W,
Elkins performed the ceremony,
Of course the guests were a lit
tie disappointed in not being
able to see the marriage but the
delicious refreshments served
them together with the greetings
and happiness of the occasion
made up to a great extent for
the disappointment.
Mrs. Hunter is a very accom
plished young lady having been
educated at the Chesterfield and
Wingate High schools and al
Coker College. She has taught
school for several years. She
was a lovely bride in gray cloth
and white silk.
Mr. Hunter is a prosperous
farmer of the Wolf Pond com
munity. He is highly respected
and esteemed by all who know
him.
Wish for them both many
years of unclouded happiness.

W. C. Funderburk with a)l the
force thevvCQuld rally and have
made a fine road from 'Squire

Mr. E. H. Funderburk. We
have not words to express our
annrermtinn in thocc. nrontloman

for the wonderful improvement
in these heretofore almost im
passable roads and the value of
this road improvement to the
traveling public cannot be estimated.

! | TYPICAL CAPON, >
(From th? United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The importance of ace, sex, exercise,
food, and care us influencing tenderness
and flavor in poultry is pointed
out by home economics specialists of
the United States department of agriculture
in a professional paper. Bulletin
467, Just published.
There is much less difference, the
bulletin states, in the digestibility or
heaithfillness nf the niont of different
kinds of fowls than is commonly supposed.
Nearly all the nutrients and
energy of poultry, ns of other meats,
It is pointed out, are utilized by the
health normal body. In all kinds of
poultry table quality depends primarily
on tenderness and flavor, and these,
in turn, are influenced by age, sex, exercise,
food, and care. Freshness is
also an Important factor tntf this is

ry, the bulletin culls attention to the 'b
act that while the relative cost of dlf- w
erent kinds of poultry depends prl- In

sdtble to inedible material and the w
horoughness with which the edlbie a:
ortions can be utilized should also be ai
:ept in mind. Well-grown birds with p1
:ood-slzed masses of moderate'y fat
lesh are more economical than either o1
poung or overfutted ones. At or- l(
Unary retail prices, full-grown chick- \\
n is the only poultry which compares pi
n real economy with the cheaper cuts tl
>f beef and pork, but young chicken, si
nedium-slzed turkey, goose, and guinea yi
owl are often as economical as the tl
nore expensive grades of other meats.
Cold-Storage Poultry. d
In discussing the use of cold-storage tl
owls, the bulletin says: p
"The way in which frozen birds are r<
hawed makes a great difference in the f<
ength of time they keep In condition, o
t used to be customary to thaw them w
>y soaking in cold water, but this has a
>een proved undesirable, not only be- k
ause the water Is very likely not to be n
rlean but also because soaked birds
go off* in quality very rapidly. Soak- p
ng in hot water, as is sometimes done
n market for a 'rush order,' is even ^
vorse. A much better way is to keep
he birds for 24 hours at ordinary icejox
temperature (45 degrees to 50 decrees
Fahrenheit). As has been al eady
stated, the sooner the birds are ^
ased after thawing the better, and f
vhenever possible should be bought
stiff and thawed at home. This means
juylng poultry a day before It is need
d, but It is the surest way of having ^
: properly thawed. In warm weather
: should be put in the refrigerator
a thaw, but In cold weather a moder- e:
tely cool room will do as well. If it o
i impossible to do the thawing at li
ome, the marketman should not be si
llowed to do it until a short time be- li
ore delivery. v
"Although frozen poultry is hardly II

he market, it undoubtedly has the ad- c
antage of furnishing chickens, tur- If
eys, and other birds when the natural d
upply is lacking and thus increasing
he variety of the meat list."
Good Table Poultry.
The following statement of the methds
by which good table poultry can ?
?e recognized by the purchaser Is
lade In the bulletin: P
"In a freshly killed bird the feet t]
eel moist, soft, and limber, and If it n
.as dressed with the head on, the eyes e
>ok bright and full. As It becomes ?
tale the eyes shrink and the feet dry ?
nd harden; when too stale, I. e., when
eeomposition Is well under way, the l?
ody turns dark and greenish or be omes
slimy. The llesh should be
either flabby nor stiff, but should give
venly and gentle when pressed by the
nger. It Is very difficult to dlstln- 8,
uish between good cold-storage and F(
reshly-kllled poultry. tj
"One of the commonest ways of test- p
tg the uge of dressed poultry is to r,
ike the end of the breastbone farth- s,
st from the head between thumb and ^
nger and attempt to bend it to one f{
Ide. In a very young bird, say a p

roller* chicken or n green goose. It
111 be enslly bent, like the cartilage
. the human ear; In a bird a year or
> old It will be brittle, and In an old
rd, tough and hard \o bend or break,
nfortunately there are sometimes
icky dealers who break the end of
le breastbone before showing the bird,
id thus render the test worthless. If
le feet are left on the carcass, they
irnlsh a mnrk of age. In a young
rd they nre soft and smooth, becomig
hard and rough as the bird grows
der. The claws are short and sharp
i a young bird, growing longer and
unter with age and use. Spurs gen ally
occur on male chickens. On
ale broilers and tender roasting
llckens they nre small; on older, hlgh -finvored
ones they are prominent
lit flexible; on cocks they are long
id attached to the bones of the legs;
1 capons they seldom develop until
le second year of age.
"Turkeys up to a year old are said
> have black feet, which grow pink
p to three years old and then gradualr
turn gray nnd dull.
"The age of pigeons.can sometimes
e told by the color of the breast,
hich becomes more and more purplish
3 the bird grows older. Red feet
re also said to be a sign of age In a
Igeon.
"In ducks and geese the flexibility
f the windpipe is a mnrk of youth.
: can be easily squeezed and moved
hen the bird is young, but later
rows rigid and fixed. If the tips of
le quills at the end of the wine are
inrply pointed the bird is probably
oung; the blunter they are, the older
le bird.
"When caponlzing has been properly
one, the head Is small for the size of
le body, and comb and wattles are
ale and withered, the body plumper,
sunder, and larger than In an ordinary
>wl, and the spur abortive. If the
peration was incomplete, the head
ill be like that of an ordinary bird
nd the body less rounded. Such birds,
nown technically as 'slip capons,' are
luch inferior to true capons."

The best separators will skim a rich
