" The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings by the Journal Company Subscription Price - - $1,00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post otfice at Page land, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. November 21, 1917 Eat less wheat and meat. Usually the longer a man talks the less he says. m + m The new draft rules will get the fellow who is hiding behind a skirt. Men, like axes, fly off the handle sometimes when they are not wedged. There is less factionalism in Pageland than any other town in seven states. m ? A town or community is made up of individuals. What, kind would yours be if they were all like you? m + m The laborer who began at the eleventh hour received as much as any. You will hardly make as much wheat as if you had sown earlier* but better late than never. Labor has been scarce on the farms this year, but it will in all probability be much scarcer next year. Put your land in wheat and get ready for the scarcity. If you can't sow wheat, sow oats and rye. We can't let the ground he idle when the whole world is calling for bread. "I am too old to go, and they wouldn't have me because of my physical condition, but I can | give to help those who do go, and I expect to do so as long as I have auything to give," said a prominent citizen of Pageland Sunday. "I can't go but if I've got anything they need they can have it, just so they don't take the last mouthful I've got," continued this patriot. Expres sions like this do not come from the lips of slackers and traitors. Only loyal, true-blue citizens talk that way. This man was speaking of the great work and need of the Y. M. C. A., and his desire to do all in his power for the brave voung men who are going away to fight for home and country. Oh, that every man were as loyal as this one. e SOW WHEAT, SOW WHEAT, SOW WHEAT The Government is asking South Carolina to grow enough I I ' " | I We are Headqu made waists, Und Coats, Pants, Ove J Tablets and Statioi Wheat, Rye, C and Snuff. P Me et me at Miingi j wheat to supply South Carolina's demands. Mr. Long and his demonstration agents throughout the state are begging the people to sow wheat. The newspapers are giving much space to the subject, and speakers are crying aloud for wheat to be sown. The wheat short age has been talked until the subject is old, but it is one of such vital importance that it can not be safely ignored. If we fail to provide for ourselves in this trying time, who under Heaven will do it for us? The Government is giving us timelv warning. If we go heedlessly along in.our extravagance, and like the grasshopper, fail to pro vide, who can we blame? We could write and write along this line, but we want you to lay down the paper now and go sow wheat. If you haven't the land, rent some. If you can't rent, persuade someone else to sow it. Sow wheat, sow wheat, sow wheat now. MT CROGHAN LOCALS Mt. Croghan, Nov. 19?Mr. Editor, was sorry to hear of your loss by fire several days ago, but I nr*lir>ofl * /-..? AlA ..?t 1 ? .
