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.

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.
