A ia 1 o 1? 5 ' ovuitc vi ruuu ouppiy w nici Should Receive Attention Now ? i There is perhaps at this time n subject of greater importance to th people of Union County than lat gardens, the food crops that provid for our wants during the early fal and winter months at small expens for labor and seeds, and the sures possible defense against the high cos of living. Prices on all food are ad vancing and we cannot rely upon buy ing from the more progressive peo pie outside, even though we have th< price. All excess food is schedule) to go to the soldiers. Realization o jthe truth of the above and inspiratioi I make the remainder a matter of de 'tail easily handled by the individual The late summer and feed seed sup ply should be secured from a reliabl dealer, and preferably from bulk such seeds usually being higher ii germinating properties and less ex pensive than the small packets. Jus as in other things, the preference o: . the jndividUAl- consumer should hav Weight in the matter of what to plant Among the vegetables which may b< planted now, are carrots, salsify beets, English peas, potatoes ,onioi (seeds), radishes, cabbage, collards etc., while during the period from Au gust 1st to 15th, some of the abovi may still be planted, an^additionally rape, mustard, kale, spinach, lettuce etc. Cuttings taken now from th< large tomato plants and placed ii usual order in soil and protected for j few days from hot sun and drough will produce a fall crop until frost Every home should provide a coh frame in which to have such things a: lettuce and radishes immune fron frost.

The' books will he onen every day (except Sundays) during July and August, at the Court House. ^ I wish further to call attention to the Democratic voters of Union Coun- ? ty to the fact that they must enroll on ^ their respective Club Rolls by the last Tuesday in July, which is the last day ^ of enrollment, the club books shall close on that day. This is important. 05 In order to vote in the August Pri- m xnary such enrollment in absolutely a< necessary. Failure to enroll will prevent you from voting.

They trust lat none of our citizens will be so npatriotie as to continue this cusim, but if some should be found who re willing to ignore the wish of the Dvernment they appeal to the pa iotism of the citizens as a whole to op it by refusing to patronize the ime. This applies to private citizen, lice-holder, and candidate alike. Lowndes Browning.
