Eat less wheat and meat.
Usually the longer a man
talks the less he says.

The new draft rules will get
the fellow who is hiding behind
a skirt.
Men, like axes, fly off the
handle sometimes when they are
not wedged.
There is less factionalism in
Pageland than any other town
in seven states.

A town or community is made
up of individuals. What, kind
would yours be if they were all
like you?

The laborer who began at the
eleventh hour received as much
as any. You will hardly make
as much wheat as if you had
sown earlier* but better late
than never.
Labor has been scarce on the
farms this year, but it will in all
probability be much scarcer next
year. Put your land in wheat
and get ready for the scarcity.
If you can't sow wheat, sow
oats and rye. We can't let the
ground he idle when the whole
world is calling for bread.
"I am too old to go, and they
wouldn't have me because of
my physical condition, but I can |
give to help those who do go,
and I expect to do so as long as
I have auything to give," said a
prominent citizen of Pageland
Sunday. "I can't go but if I've
got anything they need they can
have it, just so they don't take
the last mouthful I've got,"
continued this patriot. Expres
sions like this do not come from
the lips of slackers and traitors.
Only loyal, true-blue citizens
talk that way. This man was
speaking of the great work and
need of the Y. M. C. A., and his
desire to do all in his power for
the brave voung men who are
going away to fight for home
and country. Oh, that every
man were as loyal as this one.

j wheat to supply South Carolina's
demands. Mr. Long and
his demonstration agents
throughout the state are begging
the people to sow wheat. The
newspapers are giving much
space to the subject, and speakers
are crying aloud for wheat
to be sown. The wheat short
age has been talked until the
subject is old, but it is one of
such vital importance that it
can not be safely ignored. If
we fail to provide for ourselves
in this trying time, who under
Heaven will do it for us? The
Government is giving us timelv
warning. If we go heedlessly
along in.our extravagance, and
like the grasshopper, fail to pro
vide, who can we blame? We
could write and write along this
line, but we want you to lay
down the paper now and go sow
wheat. If you haven't the land,
rent some. If you can't rent,
persuade someone else to sow
it. Sow wheat, sow wheat, sow
wheat now.
