What "the ? Interesting News Item? ?nd Edi Y. M. C. / USE YOUR ?JARDEN SPOT. -Each and every family will be provided with plenty of ground for a garden spot this summer. Your superintendent and the out side overseer will see io it that you are supplied with a good gar den spot. To encourage every body: and in order tn make it casy-ior each family to use their garden spot, the Companies 'will give'thc ground one good deep plowing. There ought not to be a family in our entire group of mills without a lirst class garden There is no telling just how much: a good vegetable garden will save a family. VIMES ON EVERYTORCH. lt so 'happens sometimes that thc front yard is so small or for some other unavoidable reason it j is impassible to do very much1] with a variety of flowers. Wheth er much is dione with flowers or J not. .il.r p enible to have pretty green .yines oft fcMfy t>c*ch-*-b?tb front 'and back. Nothing will! make your home look more pleas ant or home like. Vines are easy to grow. The ground should- be sp?dc? up ?:t? least- Wetve inches deep, and well rotted manure carefully worked in. Tbert when ;the ground gets warm, sow mnrntne* {rjnrifc rlimtijntr nastur tiums OT any other good'cllifiWng seeds. - Sprinkle well with water late .every day, preferably after the sun goes down, and, when thc vines come up, run some strings from thc ground to the top of the porch. If you will then give the vines the proper care, the vines themselves will do the rest. Woy not try them this yearr Remem ber thal the slogan for the Ander son mill villages is: "Vines on Ev ery Potch." A WASHINGTON DISPATCH. We ' wrote to Congressman Aiken and Senator E, D.

WE~ARE PLEASED. To say that rwr are pleased by the hearty response and splendid co-operation of practically every [family living in ever1/ sirrgle' Vft* l?ge in i and around Anderson is indeed putting it very mildly, when it comes io cleaning up our mill villages. Not only did prac tically every family observe "Cleaning Up Week," but the way in which the Companies got the trash hauled off was great. We want to thank every single person who helped out on this im portant work. lt seems that ?.everybody vorkedr*' and father too, and that ls why this begin ning of our work together was so (successful. We are just as sorry ?as can be^hat each and every boy and gift-who worked so hard did not get a prize; all of them de served one, however wc feel that I winning a-prize was not the aim; the good people in the mill vil lages around Anderson entered* into this cleaning up matter sim* plv because they are. progressive ?arid fake great Britto-* itt their homes and surroundings.

The paper is well gotten up, carries a lot of Association news and many forceful editor ials.'*-The State. "THE COMIAN is full of Bur-| nett, and superlatives predomin ate."-AY. M. C. A.

Wc are already convinced that cooperation is to be the big woTd in this important work which THE COMIAN is published to help along. Co-operation is one of the big words of this generation. Never before has so much emphasis been placed upon this important word. After all, it is the spirit . be-1 hind anything that makes it go, and we- fe?l' especially, that ?such spirit is prevalent among Our milt villages in Anderson. To obtain the largest possible results it is uecfc?lry for every-one to lend a hand. We have noticed the very heartiest spirit of co-operation on ~he-parrot even the smallest chil dren in the schools, as well as that of the teacher?,- the fathers and motbefs, . the - brothers and sisters, the overseers, superin tendents, and the mill presidents. Even-the -store-keepers have en tered into the plans as outlined in the first issue the COMIAN wi?rn^spirit of hearty co-opera THE: LONESOME ONES, In case there:are-p?fsons now living in the Affdefson mill vitrag es who do not expect to try to beautify their homes this season, we venture the assertion that they will certainly be mighty lonesome. AH of the ambitious and progres sive people 4tvtrrgMtrf thta'-seetWh are anxious for the mill, .. towns here to gain the r?put?tijn of be ing ?mong; the- best kept In the state. We are making several sujre&Botis in this issue of the COMIAN telling when and how to plant flowers and vegetables and a lot of other good suggestions ??bout'beautifylng and m?lng the borrie * surroundings comfortable.

Burne', of the ll Workers BE PREPARED. A few days zgo the Editor in troduced a young man to one of the'leading"business*?men of An derson. This young fellow was looking for a job. He was wlil7 ing to work, he wanted-to work, lt happened that this particular business man had two positions open. For one of these prates he would pay $5.oo per week; the other was a ?I5.oo per week job. The business man said something like this to the young applicant for work: "Yes, I can use*you, but can pay you only ?5.00 per week. I am needing someone tremen dously just now in another ckpa City. If you were prepared for this better position, I would be very glad indeed to give you a trial." We are indebted to Mr. Leon LA Rice for the splendid article on "Does it Pay to Save?" JBe sure to fead it carefully. DOES IT PAY TO SAVE? h *.* Wp'pose' yo?'? . make twelve dol? Ians a week and save one-fourth of it; place this three dollars each week in a savings bank, how long do you suppose it woiilu take for ymir savings to accumulate so that the interest alene would con tinue the payments? The an? ywer is seventeen .l??i? on?-h?if years, and at that time you would have $3,644.80 in the hank and the interest alone would amount to more than three dollars a week. At this time you Could cease Sav ing and the interest would keep up the payments just as you had done in the days when you were most able. Old age has no ter rors for the man who saves. Is it not strange that we go ahead with youth and health aha* strength, unmindful of tomorrow? lt is your duty to 'save,:artd from 'this day henceforth save something each week, and tomorrow .will tote ?re4 df Itself. .
