Christmas
I’ve been lonesome in crowds, haven’t you?
I’ve longed for the touch of a hand—
For a voice familiar to take me
Back where I'm part of the land ...
And now, I’m back in God's country,
My feet feel the thrill of its loam
I'm in for a foretaste of Heaven—
|'m going to spend Christmas at home.

Titian-Haired
TF ALL the authors who have de
scribed their pretty ‘heroines as
having Titian hair were placed end
to end and then asked to describe
what they meant by titian, most of
them would be out of luck.
Titian hair or titian anything
else, for that matter—is a color that
characterizes many of the paintings
of one of the w
Id’s greatest art
ists whose name
was Titian. His
full name was Ti
ziano Vecelli and
he was born in
the Venetian Alps
in 1477.
The color which
he was the first
to put upon can
vas and for which
present authors
take his name in
vain, is a reddish
yellow and very
vivid. The yellow
id the mixture so
Titian
is so prominent
dazzling that girls who had that
kind of hair would scare the heroes
away.
Titian painted thousands of pic
tures and became very wealthy. He
was more than 95 years old when
he died.

Rebel Against Rebellion
A THE outbreak of the Civil war
a band of about 100 citizens of
Jones county, Mississippi, refused to
identify themselves with the Confed
eracy. Under the leadership of one
Newt Knight, they took refuge in
Leaf River swamp where they de
fied all efforts to make them fight
under the Stars and Bars.
By 1864 they had complete con
trol of the county and out of that
fact grew the story that this “rebel
lion within a rebellion” resulted in
forming a “Republic of Jones” with
Knight as its head. Mississippians
declare, however, that there is no
official record of any such “repub
lic” ever having been launched and
they refer to these “seceders from
secession” as the “Newt Knight
band of deserters.”
When the war was over and Con
federate army veterans returned,
they induced the legislature to
change the name of the county from
“Jones” to “Davis,” because they
said the conduct of Knight had
made its name ‘‘a badge of ignom
iny and a term of reproach.”
Knight always denied that he was
a deserter but tried to get a pension
from the federal government. He
was unsuccessful because the rec
orda/^t Washington failed to show
his name enrolled in the Union
army^ Hctwever, there was some
compensation forhim in the fact
that until his death in 1923, he was
widely kdowu as the ^‘founder of
the Republic of Jones.”

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS
Less than 8,000,000 bushels of the
1944 U. S. soybean crop remained in
all storages on and off the farms on
October 1, 1945, as compared with 14,
300,000 bushels of the 1943 crop still
on hand October 1, 1944, and with
12,500,000 bushels of the 1942 crop on
October 1, 1943.
The movement of poultry to market
has been unusually heavy but prices
were fairly well maintained by a
strong speculative demand. Novem
ber into-storage volume exceeded all
previous records for the month. Tur
key receipts were unusually heavy at
Thanksgiving but an active demand
cleared up all offerings.

Chipped Enamelware
Enamelware and thin metal uten
sils suffer most often from scorch
ing, and enamelware is likely to
crack and chip when scorched. Once
cnipped, an enamelware pan is un
safe to use, as further chipping may
mean glass particles in the food.
Wild-Life Restoration
The apportionment of $806,500
among the states for the restoration
and development of their wildlife re
sources during 1945, under the terms
of the Pittman-Robertson act, is the
smallest since the act became ef
fective in 1938.
Cover Crop
A cover crop such as rye should
be sown on land where weeds have
been destroyed. This will tend to
choke off any weeds that may de
velop later and will reduce wind and
water erosion.
Tighten Umbrella Handle
A loose umbrella handle can be
tightened by pouring melted resin
into the hole in the handle and forc
ing the steel rod into it, holding it
firm until resin sets. Resin can be

Serving Broccoli
Try serving broccoli with fat drip
pings and added salt and pepper, or
a cheese sauce. This makes a nice
addition and gives a pleasing color
contrast.
Remove Scale
Scale of almost any kind can be
removed from a kettle with diluted
cider vinegar. Using a cup of vine

with the liquid, bring it to a boil
and let it stand in the kettle over
night. To prevent scale from form
ing again, keep an oyster shell in
kettle.
