^ Opportunity For
Women Of Camden
Just how good ait canning arc Camden
women and girls?
Thia question suggested itself today
from an announcement in Chicago
of a National Canning Contest
to find the beet jar of canned fruit,
vegetables or meat in the country.
Twelve hundred and fifty dollars in
cold cash awaits the woman or girl
irt the United States whose entry is
be*t ?snned
food entered in the contest.
The contest, which is sponsored by
the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural foundation,
seeks to acquaint more housewives
with the economy nnd health-1
fulness of home canned foods. For
years the U, S. Department of Agriculture
and home demonstration
agents throughout the country have
worked for increased production of
native canned foods. It is to further
thia excellent idea and at the same
time to help absorb the threatened
surplus of farm products in many
sections, that this canning project
was conceived.
Two hundred and twenty-two cash
prizes, totalling $5,825, will be disbursed
to the winners in the contest,
which has three major divisions:
fruit, vegetables and meat. The best
entry in each division will be award'ed
$250, and one of1 these will also
receive the thousand dollar sweepstakes
prize, thus bringing the total
cash prize for the best jar of canned
food in the contest to $1,250. Second
prize in each of the three divisions
will be $200, third prize $100, and
fourth prize, $50. Thero will also be
five prizes of $25 each, ten prizes of
$10 euch and fifty prizes of $5 each.
In addition, a thousand dollars in
cash will be awarded to the home
demonstration ;igent whose county
sends in the greatest number of entries,
$500 to the agent whose county
has the next largest number, and
$100 to the agent whose county sends
in the third largest number of entries.
A number of lesser merchandise
prizes are also offered.
According to the rules, the contesc
is open to every woman and girl in
the United States. There are no restrictions
as to tfp nature of the
food sent; any fruit, vegetable or
meat, whether home grown or purchased,
is acceptable. Contestants
may enter one, two or all three divisions.
Entries, regardless of when
canned, must not be sent in prior to
August 15 nor later than October 1,
which is the closing date of the contest.
No entries will be returned,
but instead these will be sent, with
the name and address of the contestant,
to an orphanage, hospital, infirmary
or other charitable institution
to be selected by the Foundation.
?
Specimens of canned fruits and
vegetables in the contest will be
judged on the basis of clearness
color, pack, neatness, flavor and texture.
Meat specimens will be judged
in their relation to pack, neatness,
texture and flavor. There will be
three judges, to be selected by the
Foundation from a list of outstanding
authorities on home economics,
domestic science, and canned food.
Their decision will be made known
just as soon as possible after October
1. >
"Any method of Canning may be
used for this contest," announces
Anne Williams, director of the contest.
"The use of a steam pressure
cooker, however, is highly recommended
by canning experts and by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
especially in canning meats. Not
only does this method of canning save
time and fuel and assure absolutely
sterility and preservation, but food
canned under pressure retains nil its
natural flavor and texture, which are
vital points in any canning contest."
That the judging may be thoroughly
impartial and the display of
canned samples absolutely uniform,
contestants are required to submit
their entries in standard glass jars
of the quart size. All contestants
will be furnished with one Ball mason
jar and carton for sending in a
canned article, but those making entries
in more than one division are
expected to supply their own jars
and shipping cartons. The sample
jar and prize entry labels for use in
submitting entries may be secured
without cost by communicating with
the - headquarters of the National
Canning Contest, 925 S. Homan avenue,
Chicago, 111.

Executioner Haunted
By Memories; Quits
Raleigh, Aug. 2.?-Haunted and (logged
by the memories of the more
than fifteen he hus electrocuted during
the four years he has been one
of the state official executioners,
.). E. Thomas has resigned.
Never again will he pull the switch
that sends the electric current hurtling
through the bodies of ? those
whom the courts of the state have
condemned to death, jerking them
into eternity.
"I was a fool ever to accept the
job in the first place," Thomas told
this correspondent in discussing his
resignation. "I am through with it
all for good."
When asked if he was sure he was
going to stick by his determination
to resign, or?whether he might reconsider,
Thomas said:
"Reconsider nothing! I have already
quit and am going to stick."
.'Until recently Thomas lived in
Ivouisburg, whore ho was a deputy
sheriff. Recently he Accepted a job
as a guard in the state prison here.
And it is largely because of this fact
that he decided to give up his job
as executioner, ho states. Prison officials,
however, believe that he has
been unable to stand the mental
strain, and that he has "seen the
ghosts walking" as the prisoners say.
Thomas at present is sick in bed
with a malady- which I)r. J. II. Norman
is not able to entirely diagnose.
For several weeks Thomas had been
complaining, and in the last ten days
or so h?? has lost some forty pounds.
He is forty-five years old and normally
weighs more than two hundred
pounds, with an impressive physique.
