America’s Champion Canner—Mrs.
Mary Hvaee of Kennan, Wi*^ putting
up can of peas In her pressure cooker
with which she won grand prize of
$1,250 In the National Canning con
tact in Chicago for the beet Jar of
preserved food.
She first saw the Wisconsin prairies
as three-year-old Mary Jensen. It was
her job, as she grew up, to help her
father and mother win bread and but
ter for nine small Jensens and them
selves. She was her mother's helper
on the farm until all the children
were well on their way to growing up.
Then she yielded to the glamour of
the trading town called Minneapolis.
At Minneapolis she became a cook
itf a lumberjack lunchroom, where she
met and married lumberjack John
Hvass. They moved to Wisconsin,
first to a small farm, later to a larger
one, where they are living today.
There Mary Hvass helped her husband
fell trees, build barns, fences, and
their house. For nearly thirty-three
years they struggled together.
When Mrs. Mary Hvass heard that
one Jar of peas that she had canned
was worth $1,230, it seemed Incredible
to her. It was just one Jar out of
hundreds that were canned all as part
of a summer’s work. And it was
simple business to put them up. She
followed direction* in a government
bulletin.
“I used a pressure cooker, as the
government advised, because I’ve tried
every other way and I know it’s best,’
she explained.
“First, I blanched the peas for 30
minutes. io scalding water. Then 1
dipped them in cold water, poured
them in a mason jar with seasoning,
and pot the Jar in my pressure cook
er for 50 minutes at 240 degrees.
“That’s all the work It took to make
them ready for the contest I wouldn't
want anything more certain and sim
ple than my Kook-Kwick pressure
cooker for canning peas and all kinds
of food.**
Judges of the contest who declared
the peas canned by Mrs. Hvass to be
perfect In flavor, color and general ap
pearance, were Dr. Margaret Justin,
president of the American Home Eco
nomics association; Dr. Louise Stan
ley, director of the United State* Bu
reau of Home Economics; Mrs. Jose
phine Bakke, home economics direc
tor at Iowa State Agricultural col
lege; Miss Elaine Massey, director of
girls’ club work in Mississippi, and
George Farell, director of extension
in the Middle West for the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Tb<»re are canned peas and canned
peas that win prizes, hut those that
were canned by Mrs. Mary Hvass go
even further. They are going to pay
for their own creaming and buttering.
The grand p/lze check of $1,250 Is go
tng to set up Mrs. Hvsss In the dairy
business.
Her ambition for many years was
fo own s herd of pui%-bred Holstein
cattle and to pctend her prise win
ding into wider fields. Now her am
bition will be realized with thn pur

Lesson for January 19
JE8US BEGINS HIS MINISTRY
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 4:12-25.
GOLDEN TEXT—Repent, for th«
kingdom of heaven la at hand.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Chooses
Ministry.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—How Jesus Began His Ministry.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Comprehensive Program of
Jesus.
Jesus began His official work an
Messiah at Jerusalem where He pre
sented Himself to the men of the Jew
ish nation.
1. The King His Own Herald (vv. 12-
17).
L The reason for this (v. 12).
The news of the Imprisonment of
John the Baptist caused Jesus to for
sake Judea and go Into Galilee. The
fate of John was accepted as fore
shadowing His own. The rejection of
the forerunner meant the rejection of
the King, whose advent he proclaimed.
Because of this He withdrew from the
metropolis and went ^to the remote
regions where His work would attract
less attention.
2. To whom the proclamation was
made (▼▼. 13-16).
It was to the people at Capernaum
In fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy
(9:1,2). These people were not blessed
with such privileges as those in and
around Jerusalem. Thus we see that
the darkest and most corrupt of the
provinces was getting the light first.
In this we see s foreshadowing of ths
present age, when the gospel of ths
grace of God is being preached to ths
Gentiles.
A His message (v. 17).
“Repent, for ths kingdom of heaven
Is at hand." This is the same king
dom which John the Baptist and ths
Old Testament prophets proclaimed.
It msens the Messianic earth rule of
Jesus Christ. It is for this ws pray
when ws intelligently say. “Thy king
dom come." At that time the light will
break forth which shall Ulumlns ths
wbols earth.
II. Ths King Calling to Himself As.
eisUnts (w. 18-22).
L His command of authority (vv.
18,19).
He did not endeavor to persuade
them, and He did not use arguments
but Issued the mandate. To command
Is ths King’s prerogative—not to argue
or entreat.
2. Ths station of ths servants
called (w. 18,21).
They were men of lowly birth and
occupation—fishermen. God chooses
ths foolish things of this world to
confound the wise and the week things
to confound the things which are
mighty (I Cor. 1:2C).
A They were called to definite
service (v. 19).
“I will make you fishers of men."
He had previously called them to be
disciples (John 1:36-42). He now called
them to service. This call therefore
was not the gospel call to sinners
which Is “believe on me.” but the call
to service of those who have already
heeded His <*all to disclpleshlp. The
qualities which made for good fishers
—patience, bravery to face the storm
and the night, the perseverance which
tolled all night though no fish were
caught—would make for good fishers
of men.
4. Their prompt obedience (w.
20.22).
They put their trust In Him who
called, believing that He was able to
supply their needs. There Is no time
for delay when the King commands.
III. The King's Triumphant Progress
(vv. 23-25).
He went the whole round of Galilee,
teaching the Scriptures, preaching the
Gospel of the Kingdom, and heating
all manner of diseases. He did a three
fold work:,
1. Teaching the Scriptures in the
synagogues (v. 23).
The revelation of God needed to be

Effective February 1st, 1930, the Banks of Barnwell
County along with other banka throughout this section,
will make a service charge of twenty-five cents to the ac
count of the depositor, on each check deposited and return
ed for lack of funds. It is contemplated that the depositor
will collect this charge from the maker of each returned
check. This plan is being adopted in the hope that it will
discourage the increasing circulation of M bad checks” so
detremental to tho business of the community,
** * *
It is much more expensive and takes more Hms to vo-
turn an unpaid item than to pay a chock which is good. It
is inconvenient and sometimes embarassing to the depositor
to have a deposited item returned unpaid, and it will thovo-
fore greatly benefit the public generally to eliminate, as far
as possible, such worthless Hems.
Any officer of these Jbanks will ho glad to diacuM tins
matter with their depositors. It is done after careful studty
and consideration for tho mutual good of tho hanks and
their customers.
