Hon. J. C. Rivers of Mt.
Croghan has been appointed
chairman of the committee in
this county for the conservation
of food. A campaign to
enlist everv home in the county
is soon to begin The journal
is giving quite a little space to
articles dealing with this work.
By this it may be judged that
the matter is of very great im
portance. There seems to be
plenty of food now, but a little
later the pinch will come.
Housewives should see that
absolutely nothing goes to
waste. The farmers have responded
nobly to the call for
increased production, and now
it is the duty of all the people to
help to make the present supply
go just as far as possible. Only
what may be eaten should be
cooked. Pigs should not be
fattened on dry biscuits and
stale corn bread. Sow rye, rape
etc. for the pigs, and save the
food for our own people and
our allies. England, France,
Belgium and Italy are fighting
our battles while we get ready.
We should and will devide our
food with them. We should
save now and not be forced to
have our food dished out to us.

MORE ABOUT THE INSPECTION
LAW
Since John Beasley became
editor of the Monroe Journal he
is beginning to talk bigger than
ever. In. dissecting the little
local in our paper last week
concerning the South Carolina
inspection law and commenting
thereon, he starts out by saying:
"In most all statistical tables
relative to educational progress,
the number of feeble minded,
and commercial status, North
Carlolina is rated rather low,
but it is always some consolation
to know that our neighbor,
South Carolina, is just a few
pegs below."
No, not a 4 few peps." Only
one at best fot your state is
usually next to the bottom.
Then John further down says:
"The purpose of this law of
course, is to safeguard the health
of the gallant South Corolinians,
yet the Pageland lournal speaks
of it in such a light as to cause
one to believe the law was
made purely for the purpose of
aiding border counties to draw
Imrto from tlio odirtinin
iava?a aaav t*v?jV/lUl UI 111
Caroling territory."
The law was: not made to
draw trade across the line, but
incidentally this is the result
where ever the situation is
understood.
Then the article is closed
with this:
"The name of South Carolina's
Doctor Wiley is unknown
to us, but we venture the asseition
he is some jack-water
politician with a few votes in
his pockets. What little lie
knows of food and seed was
probably gleaned from years of
poverty spent among bare South
Carolina sand dunes, and when
it comes to judging the merit >
of seed, we'll put up a Union
countv farmer a pains! him nnv
time."
There he goes again showing
how little he knows about this
inspection law and its operation. '
This law has been in effect
more than five years, and it is
enforced by Commissioner E. J.
Watson, who ranks among the 1
best of his kind in the South. i
He employs* inspectors and
chemists as the need requires,
and there is no politics in it. 1
The expenses are paid by lag j
stamps and by the proceeds
from fees, fines, etc.
We agree with our Monroe
contemporary, however, in its
contention th it Union county
farmers are fairly.good judges of
the quality of seeds. In fact, an 1
ex farmer from that county first t
called our attention to this mat 1
ter, and then we noticed others 1
Union county farmers buying <
seed oats here who ordinarily <
do not trade here. 1
if John will take the time he i
can go around to any one of '
the wholesale grocers in his <
town and get some points that 1
will convince him that our
inspection law is the real thing,
and that the inspector knows
whem feeds Jmeet the require- 1
ments, be he jackwater politi 1
clan or what not.
The legislators who made this 1
law several years ago probably 1
never thought of pulling trade 1
with it, and that is by no means '
the object in vie w. The fact 1
remains, however, that farmers '
who live near enough can cross
the line and secure the advantages
in buying that this law
affords. Certain grades of mill 1
feed, oats, etc. that are com :
monly sold in some states can
not be sold here, and when a
man buys feed or seed he has
the assurance that it is just as
represented on the bag.

In replv to our enquiry as to H
why a chicken always crosses M
he road just in front of a ve w
licle, Luther Huggins in the V
Marshville Home says the tl
:hicken crosses Jo get on the d:
Dther side. Evidently that is h
true, but why in the deuce does nr
it always decide to cross just as rr
the vehicle approaches, endang- Cl

One day last week when cot ?
ton was selling for 27 cents a v
pound Mr. S. H. Laney came n
down the street wearing a r<
16 inch grin. When asked about 11
the cause he said he was selling v
cotton for twenty cents. Then
he explained that last spring I ^
when he was offered *20 cents for J ^
fall delivery his men couldn't
resist the temptation to sell a
little, and they sold 15 bales. "
Steve thinks it's better to laugh q
than cry, so he laughed. He is _
the only one who sold last
spring that we have seen laugh
ing over it.
F
Rev. and Mrs. Elkins returned p
last Friday from a visit to relatives
and friends in Cheraw.
When Mr- Elkins returned he Z
found that some one had cut or
torn off the wire screen from a <
window to a bed room, but for- f
tunately the sash was locked and f
the thief did not get into the ?
house. On Monday morning f
Mrs. Elkins told a little negro f
boy that if he would find the
guilty party she would pav him f
twenty five cents. Soon he re- f
turned saying he found out who f
did it, that it was a boy named f
John. She told him to tell John <
to come and get another quarter, \
and he ran off to get him, but
returned very soon saying: \
"John he done gone, and didn't \
say whar he wusgwine." So the \
quarter is still waiting. ^ \

Thursday night Rev. J. K.
[aire left his Ford in front of
lr. Stewart's home while he
ras preaching at the Baptist
/. M. U. meeting. Will decided
te time was ripe for learning to
rive a Ford as he was left at
ome. He drove in a zigzag
lanner up the road nearly a
lile, turned around and sue
eeded in getting back as far as
Lev. R. S. Latimer's, where he
llowed the car to get into a
ttle ditch he couldn't get it out
f. There he left it, and no one
ras any the wiser until next
lorning when Mr. Haire was
2ady to go. The car was

When Mr. Stewart learned \

vained after the performance,
nd Will is now able to sit down
omfortably again.
