U nion to Have First Class i Bakery Opened Soon Realizing the necessity of a fltstclass bakery for Union, some weeks ago the Chamber of Commerce tObk up an advertising campaign which f has just resulted favorably. M. M.

Mr. Dixon urged that the \ work be pushed as much as possible 1 as he desires to begin at an early date. This bakery should mean much to the ( City of Union and the county. Mr. Dixon was very much impressed with Union and the splendid people and gave assurances that we will have the very best bakery products, including * good bread, cakes, pies and hosts of * other toothsome edibles we all like. \ Our obligation is to see that this SDlendid enternrisp is sunnnrtpd tn r ^ man. The Ladies' Auxiliary and every other organization and individual are urged to give full and hearty cooperation and encouragemeent to the new bakery. It is gratifying to announce that this new home industry will at all times be opened to the public for inspection so we may see just how our food is handled. We welcome the new enterprise and the Dixon family at Union and wish them prosperity and that we may realize great benefits seems assured. "C." Notice to Local Farm Loan Association W. H.

It is said that once after i heated discussion ot church fuss at Vft. .Jby, a devout old deacon, sitting high in the Amen corner, took up his lat and walking stick and announced to the congregation that he was going to do for that church what the devil iad never done, leave it, and hob>led out of the door."

Willard who has resided there only two years in the location where these results were obtained. The family consists of the father, mother and five children, and three boarders. The land of the usual grade and quality found in that vicinity consists of a little over a quarter of an acre the general management being under Mrs. Willard who in addition to the household duties finds time to keep every foot of land working as a defense against the high cost of living. a. ? -ioit ...m.: ? *. i/uxiii^ uie yciii XJI i suiuciciit VCKUtables were grown to keep the family and boarders, with an excess of 315 quarts of canned vegetables and fruits for winter use, the fruit coming from other sources but canned at home. The family cow received sufficient forage from the same land to relieve the necessity of buying anything, while additionally sufficient corn was raised to supply a portion of the meal used for the cow, a yearling calf now on hand and valued at $20.00, and the family: 25 bushels of sweet and sufficient Irish potatoes to last half through the winter were also raised on the small plot. The winter garden was well filled with turnips, cabbage, collards and salads. Two pigs were bought during early 1917 at a cost of $G.00, $17.00 worth of feed, some of which is still on hand was required to keep them. At killing time they weighed 700 pounds, the value of all the pork products be in# $175.00 at prevailing prices. At present one small room of the home is well filled with hams, bacon, sausage, lard, etc. This year three pigs are being raised, close watch being kept on the cost of production .

Thirty chickens were raised, and the remarkable circumstance is that during the hard weather of the past winter the hens layed from 4' to 6 eggs a day and are still busy. During the gardening season Mrs. Willard prides herself on keeping the chickens confined and gets results accordingly. This seems an isolated example of real thrift and goes to prove beyond doubt what may be accomplished on a small plot of land properly managed. There is no reason why we should not have more such people. "C." U. D. C. Meeting The William Wallace chapter TJ. D.
