HARYIN HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB HOLDS GOOD METING The Harvin Home Demonstration Club met Friday P. M., March 8th, at the home of Mrs. Genie Nettles. This was the first meeting this year and was attended by a good many members. The meeting was called to order by our President, Mrs. J. B. Brogdon. The roll was called and responded to with Bible verses and quotations. We were all glad to have our belov ed Miss Katherine Richardson with us at this meeting. Miss Richardson has been in a hospital in Columbia, and all her friends are glad to have her back and restored to health. After our Club prayer the meeting was turned over to Miss Katherine, and she gave out several bulletins and a folder on the "Food Program." Several interesting subjects were discussed and much information gath ei ed. Miss Katherine told us about the work of the Red Cross and the nend of sewing, and each member promised to make a garment. After we were dismissed, we werq entertained by Mrs. Nettles with se lections on an Edison, which were very much enjoyed by all present. Mrs. E.

The com hined shipbuilding program of the United States and the entente na tions, it was estimated tonight by an official of the United States shipping board, wil not exceed eight million tons, and the present rate of ship de struction by the U-boats will equal that, it was said, unless a better of fensive against them is developed. Although A merica's contribution in shipping, based on contracts to date, with little expansion contemplated this year, amounts to ten million tons. at an aggregate cost of about a bil lion and a half dollars that program extends into the autumn of 1919. The most optimistic predictions by board officials does not call for more than four million tons actually to be put in service this year, and approximately a third of these vessels are requisi tioned. There is, however, an optimistic prospect in experiments now being made with a comparatively new method of construction, that of weld ing the ships'plates in position in stead of riveting them on. This meth od, it was said tonight by a member of the Emergency Fleet corporation, would turn out ships pernaps ten time sfaster than the riveting pro cess. The fleet corporation is conducting experiments in plate welding at the Federal Shipbuilding company's yards at Newark, putting together an entire midship section there. The officials LUCKY CIGAI Ifamous arette for working fighting o Tho re; it's made tobacco ar IT' 4B fGurane erbYh are prepared, they say, to spend forty to fifty thousand dollars to test the efficacy of this process for the vitally needed bottoms. The welding idea, with several va riations, had been tried heretofore for repair work and is said to be used by the Germans for submarine building. The process being tried by the Emer gency Fleet corporation, however, is said to be a speedier and simpler in vention designed by A .J. Mason, a marine engineer of Chicago, who is serving with the fleet. In the close race between German destruction and American production laggard yards are to have short shrift. Government seizure of four yards, described as "sick," is being considered seriously by the shipping board. These yards are "somewhere between Baltimore and Newark" but not in either of those cities. The yards already with contract! must produce, according to schedule at least, or they will lose their con tracts, as some have done already, and be taken over to federai management. The board's general policy was reit erated this evening, that present yards must deliver ships or be made to deliver them, and that new yards, with new overhead costs and new chances for inefficiency management, would not be developed. More ways, instead, will be added to other yards. as needed. -------o GOAL FOIL 1918 CANNERS -1.500,000,000 QUARTS Order Equipment Early and See That Old Cans Are Ready-Putting Up Food at Ilome Saves Transportation Later-Last Year 850 Million Packs One billion five hundred million quarts of home-canned produce in 1918! A goal has been set for the 1918 home canners. The stupendous size of it might make it appear impossible of attainment were it not for the fact that the American family's ability to can, in a patriotic situation, has been demonstrated. The great canning ef fort for the year 1917 has been esti maate(l at 850 million packs by officials of the United States Department of Agriculture. But there are still thou sands of unfilled jars in every town ship of the United States, the special ists say, in setting the new goal and advising early preparations for the 1918 campaign. If a slogan is needed, "Fill every jar in every. home; keep every jar busy throughout the year," is suggested. The method of arriving at the esti mated country-wide pack for last year is interesting. Eight of the principal concerns in the Unite(; States manu facturing rubber jar rings reported a production for use in home canning of 836,761,248 rubber rings. Retailers and jobbers, it is understood, carried over from the year 1916 a large sup ply of rubber jar rings. Taking into account the special caps that were sold and the use of jar rings a see ond time, the officials believe it is safe to estimate the number of packs made in homes last year at 850 mil lion. Canning in most homes is (lone in To Cure a Cold In One Day. Take LAXATIVE nROMO Quinine. It stops the Cough and Hendache and works off the cold. Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. E. w.

It is reasonable to as sume that the two-quart packs may be used to offset the pint packs, spe cialists say, and that therefore the to tal pack estimated might safely be expressed in quarts. Placing a gen eral average of 20 cents a quart. upon this product, the estimated value of hermetically scaled food canned in homes is $170,000,00(> In most cases this food was produced on the farr. *r in the backyard garden, was canned in the family kitchen, stored in the pantry, and is being consumed in the home. The transportation facilities of the country were not taxel in the production of this food and in most cases it was produced on soil that oth erwise would have been idle, with la bor that would have been unable to find useful employment.
