With such a comprehensive process
of selection, it is not surprising that
the U. S. Army Hand has gained the
reputation of being one of the finest
It is a matter of additional pride
of Army bandsmen that their organi-

over nation-wide radio chains as often

music should consider membership in
the U. S. Army Band a worthy life-
time goal.
Army bandsmen are comfortably
quartered in Washington, D. C., many
of them with families and cars, ami
enjoy a social distinction on the Cap-
ital which is accorded oiily artists
of first rank.
A number of the U. S, Army
Bandsmen have seen service with
fighting units in France and have
been wounded, some receiving cita-
tions for bravery and gallantry in ac-
tion.
In addition to its official functions
the Army Band conducts studious re-
searches into lesser-kuywn fields of
musical literature. One such exploit
in the realm of Latin-American
music has resulted in the Band being
as the official exponent of this tvpe
of iru-ic on the North American Con-
tinent. the designation coming from
thi Pan American Union.

The local management particularly
wishes to emphasize that neither of

women of the county with the assis-

Mrs. Girtha Vest, County Home De-
monstration Agent, supervised the
canning of a beef Tuesday afternoon
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R.
Branton, m the Wayside Community,
The beef weighed IDo pounds, dress-
ed, valued at about $S.0o on foot.
The following is the number of
cans and their valUe: 24 cans of chili
and 27 cans of stew meat, valued at
2o eens per can, $12.75; 42 cans of
steak, la cans of roast, and G cans of
loaf, valued at 40 cents per can,
$25.20; making a total amounting to
$;j7.'.lfi worth of canned meat.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.
Fleming, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Standi
fer, Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Scott, Mr.
uiu! Mrs. 1!. C. Daughtry, Mrs. Cus
Sowell, Mrs. Addie LinderwMrs. Min-
imi Scott, Mrs. Nora Fagg. Mrs.
I Lloyd, Jessie Sanders, Rufus Daugh-
try, Miss Joyce StandiI'er, and Miss
Verna Lloyd.
I Other Canning Friday
i Jessie Sanders will can a beef on
| .us place Friday, in Way-de <Y>tu-
inunily. under ti:> le.uiei hip of Ms-,
Ii. C. Daughtery.
Practically all of these jieople of
\\ aysiile are planning to can beet at
an early date, het'on hog-kiling time,
so that they will be supplied with
fresh nu at for their vegetables un-
til that time. This year, with cattle
I market so low, seems a good time to
start this very economic movement.
Meat Must Be Frozen
All meat canned this sca.-ion must
be first carried to the ice plant a
frozen out to rid it of the animal
heat before being canned, according
to Mrs. Vest, and must be k> p:
this same temperature during the
canning process to prevent spoilage.
Farmer Dis.ciisse* l.i\c at ilotiie

"i sure uint going to plant any cot- '
ton, I am tired of starving to death.
vu planted cotton for 1"> years, we
never had an.> tiling to eat or w ar
and always n. debt. Since I'v hacii-

munity . "We have four children to i
raise and educate and we have to do !
better than what we have benn do- j
ing, so we have all worked to get |
this pantry filled."
The story goes like this, fine day
in the fall of l'.'.'iO, Mr. Deloach was I
on his way to the gin with a bale of |
cotton, lie passed a farm home and1 ?" . "
stopped to talk awhile. The family | Twenty-f.rat District
was busy canning. They were using
a pressure cooker tin cans and seal-
ing. lie watched them awhile and
started on to the gin. By the time
he had the bale of cotton ginned and
on his wagon he had decided to go
buy a canned and sealer. He went
to the bank, borrowed some money
and made the investment. "It was re-
paid many times since," he says, "for
we started to work at once and can-
ned about 900 cans that fall. In
December 1930, we went to a beef
canning demonstration given by the
demonstration agent. There we learn-
ed how to can meat as well as other
things. All this gave us an idea. We [
were going to grow and can every
tiling we eat for 1931.
We started planning the planting
at once so that there would be a
variety of vegetables to can all thru
the summer. We figured we would
need about 900 or lOrtft cans for a 7
to 9 months supply budget, for our
own family as we didn't intend to
btiv anything.
The problem of getting sufficient
tin can- without money looked dis-
couraging. I decided to a*k my
