f The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings by The Journal Company C. M. Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post otfice at Page land, S. C., under Postal Act ofMarch\ 187^ March 14. 1917 If you have a tarm let "Food aud feed first" be your motto this year. The people of the South should have less cause to complain of high prices of food than the people of any other section because there is no good reason why they should not be sellers rather than buyers, With half the world at war and the other half about ready to enter the denyand for Southera farmers to grow somtlungto eat comes as a bugle blast. For the farmer to grow all cotton and little or no food means that he deliberately chooses to grow cotton and let human beings perish for lack of bread For several months we have left the fly question severely alone, but the time has come for us to give the matter alittle more attention. As the warm weather comes -on keep your eyes open for the old fly that spent the winter in your house. Break his neck and burn him. Then keep the stables and other premises clean. One fly now means a countless number a few months later. Now is the time to begin. For the information * of the Union county folks who think that Pageland has had the only really respectable express office in this section we will say that the South Carolina quart amonth law goes into effect April 25th, after which time our express office will be just a little ' sorrier than those in Union a. _ xr euumy. i ou may get a quart a month if you will swear to the probate judge that it is lor medicine and then let the express co.npany make ti a matter of coir,iv.? n knowledge that you received a quart on a certain day. | Guano i i Si Jt We have the J stock: * Cole Distributoi 5 Cole Cotton an< * Cole Cotton Pla k Covington Cottc It Rex Guano Dist |t Climax Cotton I ?

' Now that a conflict with Germany sfares us in the face we desire to emphasize the very great importance of growing food for the people and feed for the stock rather than cotton. There are still a fiew farmers who pile and burn the "corn stalks on their land. Then thev haul high-priced fertilizer to do what the stalks would do for the land. Why burn up plant food and then buy other plant food to take its place? If you think too much is said in these colums about growing something to eat rather than cotton, just stick down a peg so that next winter von mnv remember that we advised the growing of food for the mil lions of earth's inhabitants. Fel) and Then Made the Boys Study The following from the Marshville Home explains itself: "It repuires no little etfort to keen history straight. Here comes Carl Tucker, of the Page land Journal, to "enquire of Friend Green whether or not he fell asleep and tumbled put of his chair during school hours one day when he was teaching at Union school back in the olden days, as has been reported from time to time." Now, if Carl will promise not to make too many demands upon me to go into explanations of little things that happened back in former days, I will set this report straight by saying that I "fell awake" instead oi falling asleep, I was awake when the chair be came overbalanced arid very much more awake when the chair and myself hit the floor, After all it was turned to good account. The students were tired -and needed just such an involuntary entertainment as this incident gave them, and T color on/1 Unnm. ? UVJIVI U1IU ICU1J X U11VC1, lilt Snvder boys and the other stu dents came up with better les sons next day." One day Mary was standing in front of the mirror making the most hideous faces, when hei mother noticed her, "Why, dear, what are you do ing?" ask her mother. "I'm getting ready to go ovei and tell Nellie Smith what 1 think of her,"answered the little fhrl quietly.
