In the recent Mississippi \'alley

band purchases by individuals.
Mr. Scofield pointed out to Missj(

in sales to individuals in the recent
Accond War Loan Drive.
"And they'll do their -hare, and

A survey of all the areas indicates
I that a total • f .'{J lives have been

ber in comparison with the number

total of 51,430 people were evacuated
primarily by troops, while additional
thousands were exacuated by the R-d

To do it, Mr. Scofield and

which we grew accustomed in days
of ease and plenty.
"Wearing last year's clothes,
shrinking household budgets, givinir

of .sacrifices we are going to have

"Every bond purchase by an In.

Miss Elli !t a--erted. "It he p- pro-

fruit juices. Those softer fruits which
the homemaker must discard in whole
fruit canning will give excellent juice
provided they are free from bruises
and decay and not overripe
You may use rhubarb, berries, cher-
ries, currants, plums, cranberries, or
grapes, preferably locally grown
since freshness is important. To pre-
serve the fruity taste, juice for be-
verages should l e extracted from the
raw or slightly heated fruit Apples
and peaches do not give up their juic-
es readily when raw < r slightly heat-
ed and are not reo mmended. <'itru*
juices arc bard to put up at home
