HAVE YOU PLANTED A GARDEP (By David R. Coker.) The commission and the campaigi committee for civic preparednes keld a joint meeting in Columbii on the 10th inst., at which a day fo ijfiiir cnnntv a ram UiaU5U10Uli5 ? paign movement for civic prepared ness for war was designated an< leakers representing the State or ganization were selected. The farm demonstration depart ment of the national governmen will furnish an agricultural speake In addtion, and it would be well fo you to secure the services of one o more local speakers for short talks. You will be expected to advertis this meeting and secure the larges possible attendance and contribute ii every way to its enthusiastic sue cess. A-f+of tVio ennntv meetinc th< leakers representing the State or (anization will meet with you for i conference as to your plans for i vigorous countywide campaign. y You will be expected to hold, ii the shortest possible time, meeting h in every church and school house ii the county, secure the best possible peakers for arousing effective en tfcusiasm and cooperation at thesi ? meetings; you will be expected t* ecure the hearty cooperation o: ?very available . agency?churches schools, boards of trade, farmers snociations, benevolent associations labor unions, women's clubs, etc.? for your campaign. Your campaigi * * ? '1 ?-1- 1 - mist onng to tne wnoie peupie < realization of the fact that the work 1 is facing a famine?that the sac ccesful prosecution of this war de ? Mods fully as much upon the pro suction and conservation of food ii the United States as it does upoi any military action which can b< taken by this country. The peopl< must be made to realize that th< j, duty of responding to the call o: I/1 mar nation and State for theh pro ; Auction and conservation of food Muff8/is just as patriotic, and undei present circumstances will prov< just as effective from a military : standpoint as actual service witl The State commission^ for civi< frcjjttjreuiieaa suggcouj uic ivuvmu( programme, which may be modifiec \ iy the judgment of your committet i\ to suit varying conditions in the different sections of the State. First, urge the immediate plant ing of such crops as will in the % aborest possible time furnish fooc for man and beast, and thus stop the drain upon the depleted national & food reserves which our State is now : Baking. The duty of every family to plant and cultivate a garden must be stressed. The following vegeta Vies are suggested: t:- Sweet potatoes (plants can be se fc cared at once at about $2 per 1,000) ^Two hundred plants, planted lii Inches apart in four foot rows on good soil, should produce six to ten fccshels by July 15 or August 1. A single garden row each of okra, tomatoes, snap beans, pole beans, ritould be planted now and dupli? cated a month later. Garden corn, squashes and the va'l . lious greens are all easy to grow and fi- dhould be planted in succession in | ' quantity according to the size of the r garden, properly worked and fertilized. One-eighth of an acre will supply the average family with an abundance and great variety of vege tables during the entire summer and p fidL Land owners should urge their U. croppers and merchants their cusL tomers to plant gardens and the seeds should be furnished to those %' "who are unable to buy. | livery farmer should be urged to plant at least one-quarter of an acre [ each of sorghum and early yellow f. dent corn (Learning variety suggesth ?d) per horse or cow owned, and {his will furnish ample feed in July f and August. Every farmer should pit in at least one acre of sweet pof tatoes per horse, and land owners fe? should construct potato houses, bull* &./ according to government specitieations, for curing and st?r'ng this crop for their tenants. v Cow peas nad soy beaus should be [ liberally planted for human and anik aeal food. Ear'y varieties of cow peas plantel at once will furnish i aeucious green peas 111 eignt or ten Bs weeks. i Every farmer should be induced : to increase his acreage of field corn and early velvet beans should be planted not later than May 1 in evt.; mry acre of corn. They will not re? dace the corn yield and may be ex: jected to produce 15 to 30 bushels >. jer^acre of a splendid nitrogenous Bulletins on velvet bean3, potato k kouses, etc., will be furnished by [ fte farm demonstration agents in , each county. >. The merchants of your county i. amst be made to realize that their cooperation is absolutely necessary for the success of this campaign. Unless supplies of the necessary seeds and of cans and pars for canning V are available, much of the effect of or work will be neutralized. Whole ' learted cooperation from all the peo! Jle, in fact, is vital if the State is ? to do the necessary and patriotic , work which the national and State ? authorities have called on us for. There is a great shortage of some lihds of seeds, and the merchants I may be unable to secure a full assortment of those recommended. Substitutions, howevre, can usually be* made without seriously affecting the programme. Tie two most effective agencies which may be used for our campaign are the churches and the schools. Gov. Manning has asked all -the ministers in South Carolina to take m* oTt BjfaneafcA in their sermons. food production and conservation. It ? would be well to hold a meeting of the county teachers' associations (both white and colored) and urge the teachers to enter wholeheartedly into the work. Patriotic songs should be frequently sung by the schools, short talks on the war and t&e national situation snouiu oe given and the patriotism of the children ahould be stimulated in every possible way. It must be made plain to each child that he has a part in the programme for national prepared' \ 4 ness for war. We suggest that a society be formed in each school called the "Volunteer Service League,'' into which shall be enrolled all chil_ dren whp will volunteer for the pro^ duction and conservation of foodr; stuffs. Each member of this society should pledge himself or herself to / nlfivo+o a small trarden or corn T patch or to help (so many hours per week) in the cultivation of the home vegetable garden or in attention to the live stock on the farm or to ? raise a pig or some chickens. t In addition to this, they should r pledge themselves not to waste a j r crumb of food and to use their in- , r fluence to stop all food waste in ! their homes. They should be made j ? to understand that now, when the ( 1 nation needs every ounce of surplus , 1 food, for war purposes, it is nothing J less than criminal to throw away ( provisions of any kind. It is a com- , e mon sight around most of the school < houses of the State to see children , 1 eat half of their lunches and dump , 1 the rest on the ground. No more ] food should be prepared for the j 3 family or brought to school than can ] 8 be entirely consumed If this were j 1 done, probably 25 per cent, of the s food consumption of the State would { stop j e Your committee should cooperate \ 1 with the negro preachers and teach- \ * ai^AnfiAn f)iia 1 CX D w OCVUiy VUV> auvyvivu v* vum a J; programme. Without their help our i campaign can be but partially sue- < '? cesful. Meetings should be arranged " at negro churches and school houses j 1 and white speakers should be fur- 1 \ nished wherever desirable In some i 1 counties it will be necessary for you i " to appoint subcommittees in different " townships in order to make your t " campaign most effective. This should t 1 be done wherever it is necesasry. c | The effectiveness of this campaign s I for civic preparedness for war will ( \ depend almost entirely on the work i \ of the county commission. The com- ? 1 mission can do little except start the campaign and furnish you with a t few speakers, some literature and t [ some advice. We are going to count i 1 an the patriotism and unselfish ser- c r vice of your committee ' to make a 1 conspicuous success of your county ! ( campaign to the end that your peo- j \ pie will do their full duty to the 1 [ State and nation at this crisis. j ! QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY > Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. * I [ We are a nation of meat eaters r nnH rtiir hlnnri ia filled with lirir aniH. _ r says a well-known authority, who ; warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid but become weak from the overwork ! they get sluggish; the eliminative i tissues clog and thus the waste is g ; retained in the blood to poison the t entire system. n When your kidneys ache and feel n , like lumps of lead, and you have ? stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or ^ the bladder is irritable, obliging you p 1 to seek relief during the night; when i you have severe headaches, nervous s and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made /j from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush C and stiumlate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disor- ^ ders. a Jad Salts isv inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful ef- n fervescent lithia-water drink, and v> nobody can make a mistake by tak- a ing a little occasionallly to keep the , kidneys clean and active.?Adv. ^VVVVVWVVVVVVVVV si V V q V DIAMOND HILL.

He is very T sick and has been speechless since he ^ fell. We sincerely hope to see this ^ little man better soon. Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Martin were visitors here last week, they spent c! Friday night with Mrs. 0. B. Robers, and took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. 4 J. H. Ferguson Saturday, and spent Saturday, night with Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Prince. We were glad to hear that Mr. Frank Rogers is improving. He is now in the Columbia hospital for an 1 operation for appendicitis. On last Sunday afternoon the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison McKee's was broken into and some p money was stolen. Mr. McKee had an idea who the negro was, so he and Mr. Ban Campbell planned to capture the thief, Mr. Campbell hid in IV one one room, while Mr. and Mrs. McKee made a visit to a neighbor, l They had been gone only a few minutes when the black fellow came A in at a window and was going ior ir some money when Mr. Campbell col- vv lared him and carried him away from his dreamy sum of silver. A good piece of advice is to carry d your pocket book with you?for if If the war goes on many yefers longer s< we'll need every cent and do not 0 want it stolen. , We have had nothing much to D talk about but war, war, war, when S some one said forget about it, and tl ; don't think of it or you go crazy. ^ How can we forget when flour is ^ $13.00, when it used to sell for $5. v corn meal $3.60 when it used to sell o fnr* QH moaf 9S TirVion if nca/4 fn T AVI IV V) VJ "MVU *?/ WUWU VV/ J_, sell for 7 or 8 cents, and everything y else is just that high. ^ Rev.
