It is this: We wan each one to send us a dollar bill, o a dollar check, within the next tw< weeks and have his paper extender for 10 months. This is a small matte to each one. but it will greatly he!] us now to recover from the hard luc! which we have had during the pas i. few months, and encourage us u make you the "best paper that we havi ever published, and help us over th< hill. Especially is the request mad; of those whose time expires during this year. This is the first time wi have made such a request, and w< believe that there will be a hearty re sponse from all of the loyal member ? * * * Tl,n or?r OT IDG laiunv ul i uc uciaiu News. Don't wait until the last day the rush would be too great. And then let all those who havf gotten off the list for one reason oi another ret back into the household We will besin the publication ol uvntiavV. "rivor tbp Tob" in the Fri day issue, and we will be unable tr supply back numbers, and you had oetter get on now so that you ma? have the story in its entirety. The moral is, get on the list now. and fix yourself so that you may remain on if you are already on. Tt is stated from Washington that with all the fixing of prices by th* governmen that the price of cottor will not t>e fixed. f We direct the attention of the farmers to an interview, or statement which we publish in this issue froir the assistant commissioner of agriculture at Washington. Mr. Ousley\ ir arhiAh t>p warns the farmers of th( south to grow a plenty of food stuffs to feed the south, or there will b< suffering in this country and this lane of plenty. 'Not only a sufficient fo: the farm, hut enough to feed the peo pie who live here, but are engage' in other occupations. That we mus not depend upon the grain section foi our bread, or we may find ourselves ?fv. tt-Vioofloc-e ilavc hut wit* XIUL Ulil V YV nil T* Il^UtiVCO V4?Ak' ^ ?w breadless days, and to grow our owi meat, or every day may be a meatles day. And he is right. It is a lacr of patriotism for our farmers to neg. Iect to grow plenty of food in thes< times. We never did like the worr "slacker," and we have been of the opinion that there were too many ol the orators going over the countr} using it too loosely, but if it has ar application it could be applied to thai ~ ori/1 nr'Kr\ Trill man W ilU iai ms a--u ?uu ????? v-uv~or to grow all cotton, because the price is hi^h, to the neglect of food even for his own nse and expects to buy it. Then there is another obligation or the part of the people who live in th towns, and that is to provide a market for these food stuffs grown bj our own farmers so that they maj be assured they will be able to sell what they may grow in excess of theii ntim noodo XK'a iircro/1 fhic? lact enrinjr \J TT JUL Xi^/V/UO. If V Wi Q\/U VUAO vy* -?"a that if the people wanted the farmers of this section to grow food in excess of their own needs that som<' provision must be made to provide a market, so that -when the farmei has an excess of food stuffs ahov; what he needs for the farm he ma:know that he can turn them into cast just like he can his cotton. There is need for hearty cooperation in this matter just as in all others in these times. JL#et every one do ms Dit v. feed the sonth and to furnish feed lc our boys across the seas. If you have money and cotton, and can no! get the bread and meat that you need, the money will araii^on Tery little. i You can't eat it, and you can't wear < pa | it. but if you have corn and flour and ' cc I meat you can live, even if you have j th 1110 money. j of ? i in \ When we were reading the recipe* sc of ihe county ccoking clu"b girls, the si : one about cottage cheese sounded c: very much to us like something our a] | mother used to make away back ! ! yonder in the good old days that she tl j called "curd." or something like that. , li i It seems to us. as best we remember, jn ' j that she took a sack and put what P J j they called clabber in it. and hung <1 1 j the sack up to drip over night. an.l;t' 5 j then she would serve it with cream : ^ i I Knttoi. orwl V. 11 T_- nontlor <i r? <1 \1't> O J CUIU Clllii U 1(4 V XV t (V11U '! have seen our father put a little sugar ! n 4! on it. We wonder if the modern name ' n -! is cottage cheese. We never ate any , a M of it for one reason that we never J | eat milk of any kind except the but- j I j ter or the real cheese. j ti - L Now if these cooking club girls; a > | would oet Mrs. D. L. Wedaman to tl -1 tell them how she makes the treal j k t j cheese, and thin thev would go out j ti t and tell the good housewives how ' P 1 to make some of it. they would have j si - something that could he saved and j b i | something that was real good, and ! ' i we imagine net quite so expensive as j F I . ~ i; cottage cheese. Cottage cheese will o ! do for people who have plenty o? j l? ! milk and nowhere they can sell it. | Q i but if you have to buy milk we ima?-! j * I i ine it would be a rather expensive . e .! dish. . 1tl _ | This is not a criticism of the work j 11 of the young ladies, because we an- J r ' predate the good work they are do., j o ing and realize that a great manv of; d j i } ! the people who are keeping house n r! need instruction in the art of good h 3 j rooking and we want to encourage ; ii - i the work as much as we can. J h f! We were just thinking the other ; o: I 3; day when this wheatless order came ? a 1 out if some one could induce Mrs. W. ei a B. Shealv of Little Mountain, to go i s: 5 ' out and teach the housekeepers how j o , ! to make that mixed bread with pota- j tc 5 ^. toes that she knows so well how to j , make there would be no objection on ei _ j the part of anv one to the use of a ft , little less flour. j b< S 11 Or if you could eat a meal pre-) w j pared by Mrs. Chas. S. Suber, or her I h j two sisters. Mrs. W. E. Elmore and i <*! ; : .Mrs. J. C. Duncan, or if you would j . ! just drop in -some day and take a,'" j meal prepared by Mrs. John M.
