saulting Mrs. S C. Holcomb on her

should. Ho declared that the cre-
ation of the league of nations has
chanced the whole aspect of the
world because it made war virtually
impossible since a conflict only
could occur between the league and
an aggressor state.
Hugh Gibson the American rep-
resentative said that the extent that
land armaments in Kuro^te may be re-
duced undoubtedly would depend
upon the degree of security obtain-
ed. Security however has n differ-
ent valuation for Europe and coun-
tries of the western hemisphere be-
cause of the difference in location
the difference in population and to
a certain extent the differences of
the national political situations. Mr.
Gibson said that his delegation be-
lieved that the question was largely
of a regional character and that the
only practical solution was the ef-
fort to solve it on a regional rather
than a universal basis.

into primary and election campaign*
but should be submitted to the peo-
ple in a referendum and in a formal
statement he expressed hope that the
Pennsylvania legislature would take
action along this line similar to that
voted recently in New York.
“A wave of resentment against the
prohibition law blinded many people
to the real questions at issue” he
said. “It wa* the only opportunity
which they thought they would have
to express thoir sentiment on the
wet and dry issue. I regret it oc-
curred.”
Senator Reed’s opinion as to the
importance of the prohibition is-
sue in the primary was shared by
wet leaders in and out of congres*.
Senator Edge republican. New Jer-
sey# pointed to the outcome as dem-
onstrating that the people “demand
an early return to sanity and. no
matter what the other issue* arc
will embrace every opportunity to
so express their determination.”

How to make
Strawberry Jam
keep the color and flavor
of the fresh berries
Your jant will taste enough like
fresh berries to use in strawberry
shortcake if you make it this new
easy short-boil way with Certo.
Save the following recipe to use for
your first batch of strawberry jam.
Cut in halves lengthwise with
stainless knife about 2 qunrts of
email or medium-sized fully ripe
berries. After halving weigh out
2 lbs. berries or measure 4'a level
cups of berries pack solidly into
the cup until juice and fruit come
to the ton of the cup. Add 7 level
cups (3 lhs.) sugar and mix well.
Use hottest fire and stir constantly
before and while boiling. Bring to a
full rolling boil and boil hard for 2
to 3 minutes. Remove from fire and
stir in 'j cup Certo. Fkim and stir
repeatedly for just 3 minutes after
taking from fire to cool slightly.
Pour quickly and cover hot jam at
once with hot melted paraffin.
The short boiling time possible
only with Certo prevents the loss
of delicate flavor and the darkening
in color which used to occur during
the old long boil. It also gives you a
larger amount of jam. since you save
the large quantity of juice which
used to boil away.
Certo is a pure fruit product—
the jellying substance of fruit re-
fined and bottled. A book of simple
iccipes comes with each bottle.
Your grocer carries Certo. or'you
can send 10c (for postage) and get a
trial half-size bottle which will
make from 0 to 10 glasses of jam or
jelly depending Upon the recipe

Willacy Candidates
Get ‘Loyalty’ Test
RAYMONDVILLE Tex. May 20 —
The democratic executive committee
of Willacy county in session Tues-
day adopted a resolution which
burs some of the candidates for pub-
lic office from having their names
printed on the official democratic
ticket. The ruling does not extend
to the voters but is intended to ap-
ply only to such candidates as fail-
ed to vote for the nominees in the
last state election and some of
whom after defeat in the primaries
ran for offices on an independent
ticket. The test as prescribed for
the candidates is as follows:
“I hereby declare and affirm that
I am a bona fide resident of Willacy
county a qualified voter and that I
supported the nominees of the demo-
cratic party in my home county in
the general election on November
4. 1924 and will support the nomi-
nees of this party at the general
election in November 1926."
