A patrio tic rally fo r g irls and wo- sn was held last Tuesday evening

the Am agansett Presbyterian

urch by Miss Beatrice Gordon-

nith, secretary o f the Y . W . C. A. le meeting consisted o f patrio tic ngs led by Miss Florence E ichhorn,

th Miss Maude Rackett a t the pi-

0, and two solos by M iss Gordon- uith B eau tifu l Isle o f Some- lero" and R in g out the Be lls ."

iss E ichhorn led the choruses w ith

fu ll, sweet voice, her enunciation

ing particu larly clear. M iss Rack- : accompanied her on the p iano very curately and w ith expression. Mrs.

iffing, who was to play, be ing out town. Miss Gordon-Sm ith's so-

i were very sweetly rendered and fhly appreciated. H er short and

ncise ta lk to the young women was e, and listened to w ith rap t atten-

in. The m eeting closed w ith the

tiona l hymn.

The annua l Amaganset fa ir fa ir ly surpassed itse lf this year in the

beauty o f its booths, handiwork and financial returns. W h ile there m ight

not have been quite as m any attractions as form erly each committee had obtained more Supplies, so consequently the returns were fu lly up to the average.

The day was most salubrius, the a ttendance larger than usUal and none seemed to have le ft his pocket- book a t home. The fish ponds receipts were beyond the im agination

o f any committee tha t had ever taken charge o f this juven ile attraction .The cake table was more than popular and the candy booth, a th ing o f beauty, more than rewarded its orig inators by its receipts. A t the tea tables as m uch was taken in as sometimes

obtained a t a supper, and the domestic table, w ith its wash out the line, brought in its best laundry b ill yet.

The A lpha Gam a club, in artistic work, fu lly equalled its previous a ttempts, w hile the lemonade stand was constantly visited by the m oving

crowds. The sports were popular a ll o f the tim e from the opening o f the

fa ir un til the close and the tired but satisfied committees counted up the ir

receipts a t the end and congratu lated each other upon his b ig success, in

these strenuous times. W e m ust not forget the Hot-Dog committee, who worked so successfully, or the popu

lar U tility B ag table, which could have sold three times its wares, and

also the exquisite flower booth, and,

last b u t no t least, the w onderfu l collections from the farm s and gardens fo r the Farmers table. A successful fa ir , everybody satisfied, for , noth

in g succeeds like success. F inancia l returns next week. The treasurer

promises to have the complete report in by th a t time.

P O S S IB L E TO P R E S E R V EW IT H O U T SU G A R

W ith an S. O. S. on sugar issued by the Food A dm in istration and the pounds per person, the housew ife of New Y ork State finds herself face to

face w ith the problem o f having the fru its which are ju s t com ing in abundantly and save sugar a t the same time. H itherto , preservation o f fru its has been synonymous w ith preservation on sugar and sugar sir

ups, b u t food experts now say tha t

fru its can be prepared entire ly w ith

ou t sugar or w ith a proportion o f suga r which in non-conservation days

would have been though t impossible.

Save sugar and save f r u it is the advice o f the Bureau o f Conservation of the New Y ork State Food Com

m ission which has ju s t issued a bu l

le tin on this subject w ith directions to the housew ife on cann ing and pre

serving w ithou t sugar or w ith the

m in im um am ount.This bu lle tin is a con tinua tion of

the W artim e Conservation Series o f which over 2,000,000 have already

been d istributed by the New Y ork State Food Commission. This com

mission appointed by Governor Chas. S. W h itm an and consisting o f Hon.

Jo hn M itchell, President, and Charles

A . W e iting , w ith Charles H . Betts as secretary, urges every housew ife in the State to secure a copy and make use o f the recipes and suggestions

w ith which it is filled.They are the result o f recent ex

periments in cann ing and preserving. The text is prepared by the Departm ent o f Home Econom ics o f Cornell

University, and gives the fo llow ing

advice:1, M ake a ll canned fru its , pre

serves and jam s less sweet than in

form er years.2. Use other form s o f sugar, such

as honey, commercial corn sirup or

commercial glucose, in preserving

fru its th is season.Can fru its in w ater or in the ir

own ju ice .Can fru it ju ices, fo r beverages

and desserts, or w ith the idea o f m ak

ing them into je llies later when sugar

w ill probably be more p lentifu l.5. D ry fru its , f r u it ju ice , and

f r u it pulp.I t gives the in fo rm a tio n tha t f r u it

w ill keep perfectly i f sterilized and

sealed though no sugar or other

sweetening is used.A m ong substitutes suggested fo r

preserving in place o f sugar are hon

ey, and the forms o f corn sirups on the m arket, such as commercial g lu cose and commercial corn sirup.

Glucose has no harm fu l properties as many people th ink , bu t is a wholesome

corn sirup, which has long been used

by confectioners and bakers. I t has

as m uch food value as sugar bu t it is not so sweet. An effort w ill be made to make glucose ava ilab le to housewives of the State through confec

tioners and bakers.The bu lle tin Save Sugar and Save

F ru it w ill be d istributed through the county and city conservation

agents and county food adm in is tra

tors. Copy o f th is bu lle tin and o f any o f the previously issued num bers in the W artim e Conservation Series may

be had by addressing either the State Food Commission, 205 S tate S t., A lbany. N. Y ., or the Bureau o f Conser

LOANS TO FARM ER3.

A total of L203 charters hna bead

Issued up to date to farm loan asso

ciations, covering applications for ap

proximately $50,000,000 In loans. Ad

ditional charters are being issued at

the rate of fifteen to twenty a day.

The applications for loans average

about $50,000 from each association,

so that, by the years end, the loans un

der investigation and In the making

w ill probably reach a total of $120,000,-

000, which is about equal to the

amount appropriated to the farm, loan

banks as capital. There Is no danger

of an exhaustion of funds, however,

says Philadelphia Record. The banks

obtain in amounts equal to the loan

granted, so the original capital Is turn

ed over again and again. Moreover, the capital Is increased constantly by

the requirement that every borrower

must invest 5 per cent of the money

borrowed In the share capital of the

loaning bank. I f the bonds should find

a market, the supply of money to loan

would be practically unlimited. Inas

much as the bonds are guaranteed by

the United States and carry Interest

a t 5 per cent, they ought to sell read

ily. The farmers can get a ll the credit

they need.

Ten Belgians pleaded guilty In

Brooklyn of trying to smuggle for Ger

manys benefit. When It comes to

bribing Belgians, Germanys system

must be admitted to be complete.
