AUGUSTA CHILDREN J RAISE MUCH TRUCK! On Investment of .Two Hundred Dollars Make Four Thousand From Gardens. J School Life. "A One hundred baskets of vegetables; o+ tVio fi?*ct market of ' ^ CllT ovy L vl Ut tuv III W ,? x, v . _ the children enlisted in the United ! States School Garden Army in Auarus-: ta, Ga. On "market day," the children, including; representatives from the kindergarten to the eighth grade, lined up at each school promptly at 9 o'clock. In front of each child was a market basket, piled with fresh j ^^egetables. The baskets were artis- j J?fcally arranged, and some of the j ^^ hildren had festooned the handles of J ?u?. ifv? flnwcrs. The "school! ..-?e IMOA?w9 market" was declared to be "a picture j S^Lf thrift, energy and patriotism fl^Hf.ich every Augustan should have B^ween and encouraged." SF The children of the Augusta J ^ schools were organized into companies on March 1,-191-9, e'ach com- , pany having a captain and twoj lieutenants. The captains had the I privilege of appointing three order- j lies, and . the -six little officers- with) "the' teacher made the official in spectfons of; vth.e gardens. ' The f ^eaehers in each building received or- j HRers and instructions- from the-.' ' 11 - - ?J + or? K\* fhp ! Fteacner specinc-auy ? , superintendent of schools as a mem-j ber of the garden commission. These j ; teachers were interviewed regularly j : "by the supervisor of gardening for the I " spring term of 1919, .and they, in J - turn, transmitted instructions and j orders to the pupil officers and; teachers. The financial end of the work was ^aken care of by a contribution from l j^the Rotary club of Augusta and j * "from other sources, but in -all the j amount expended was not in excess I t"Of $200. This sum included the com-1 Bkiensation of the supervisor for ^art | ovnpnditure neces-! U u i ft, anu buv. _ H^s^ry for ribbons and pins for the ser^ vice bars. The result at the end of the garden season of four months showed that the children had raised in each j garden more than $2 worth of vege-j tables, which had been used at home! i or sold. The sum of $2 was a very j small and conservative estimate, but j even at this small estimate, it was J -shown that the 2,000 gardeners had! raised S4,000 worth of vegetables. In , -addition to this amount they carried I: * to Ifreir school markets 420 baskets ' of vegetable products, which naa \ been sold for $248.52; making a total j' of $4,248.52 as the . return on the J original investment of $200. This j sum represented four months-work, j and a greatly augmented total is ex-1 pected when the fall and winter gar-j. tlen returns are in. The Southern exposition fair au- f thorities were so much interested in ^the garden work of the children that **5 they offered an enticing list of prizes ^ for the best exhibits of vegetables grown by the children and for the! <best exhibit of canned vegetaoies. j * ! SELLING CLOTHING AT FAIR PRICES j Members of Parliament Makes Suits ! Costing Customers Only $13.50 Each. j * I Every day, men of every stage of; business prosperity are waiting in j long lines in London to buy clothes at j reasonable prices of Mallaby Deely, j a member of parliament, according to ; Capt. F. H. Claret of the Atlantic ^ Transport liner Bardic. Mr. Deely 1 " 1 ~ ^ ^ ?A*?mA?C! in a speecn in ine noust? ui v.untiuv?c | recently denounced the prices chargedj the British public for clothing and proceeded to demonstrate that good clothing at reasonable prices was a possibility. He bought machinery used by the j government during the war in mak- J ing uniforms, made contracts for cloth direct with the mills and now is .selling over 1,000 ready to wear suits a day at prices ranging from $13.50 to $23.50 each. The suits. Captain Claret says, are made only in gray, . blue, brown and black, but the cloth i . is good woolen goods and sufficiently. * ?-,?n '.!n nttpil to answer the re-j ? vn v. u v. unvt . . ? - - - - ? quiremer.ts of business men who have j been forced to pay three times as much for articles not in any way superior. Busy men have been paying: messenger boys to hold their places in j line and at.one tome the crowd was j so great that a cab horse mixed in [ the rush was almost carried into the j ^tore. Mr. Deely declares he is running a 'business, not a charity and if clothing can be made and marketed at his prices at a profit in England, it is J but a question ol time, accorumg tu i economists, before it will be done in j the United States. As the savings j division of the treasury department j "has pointed out, however, the reduc-] tion can not be made certain until the public restricts its buying of unnecessary and expensive clothing. The great majority of Americans; are so fortunately situated that t'l^yj can pay more than $13.50 for a sui of clothes and if they prefer to paj more, it is reasonable to suppos< that merchants and manufacturer: will produce the higher priced article, with their wider margin of profit. But if. the public curtails its de mands to necessary purchases unti sucli time as prices recede, a de mand for articles of lessor price wil i i ?* ...u: .1 oe creaieu, u is pomicu uui, wmn can not be overlooked by the pro ducer and retailer.

APPRECIATE WORK OF SALVATION ARMY Atlanta, Ga., March 24.?Con vincing evidence of the high regarc in which the Salvattion Army is helci by labor in the United States is founc in two letters received at the loca' Salvation Army headquarters fron - - 11 i l _ nationally Known lanor leaders. One of the letters is from Samue Rompers, president of the American federation of Labor, and th-e other i; r ' from Jamfes H. Maurer of Harrisjur<?,.Pa.,- .president of the Pennsylvania Federation of -Labor. Both heartily endorse -the work , of the Salvation .Army and the-campaign foi 'ur.ds to carry on this work which .is et for'May.'TO.to' 20. . ' President Gompers, in his letter, says in part: "From doughnuts to the fatherhood ofiGod and the brotherhood of man the Salvation Army's work, both over there-during the war and here during the tim s of peace, seems to approach the Welfare of m*. Kind here and now rather than deal altogether with the sweet bye and bye. "Tfyis work among those burdened down under the crushing weight and pain of misfortune and sickness is just simply service without pretense ?just good practical service to mankind. In my judgment the Salvation Army deserves every encouragement for the service they have rendered and are rendering." President Maurer Savs in part: ''Every sincere person must feel that any organization which can manage its business so well and render such devoted service to humanity as the Salvation Army rendered during the war, upon the comparatively small sum of money they were permitted to use, merits confidence and support. I suppose no one will ever know on this earth the magniture of the service rendered or the vast number of poor folks who have been lifted out of the very gutter and placed on their feet again. "The Salvation Army merits our ~ * T. ' 1 approbation and support, it is always ready to help the under dog- and 1 am for it." Elizabeth Tyler, 401 Flatiron Building.

TOOK FRIEND'S ADVICE Gained Over Ten Pounds And Got Great Benefit, She Says From Tanlac. <4I have spent enough money to buy a house and lot trying to find some medicine that would give me relief from my ailments, but I failed until I took Tanlac," said Mrs. Eva Clem, of 170 Jackson street, Greenwood, in a statement praising: Tanlac. "I was a sufferer from stomach trouble and a very bad form of nervousness. I had no appetite and most everything I ate disagreed with me. I suffered almost continually with headaches, mv health was Ml run down and I was so weak I could hardly do any work around the house. While I was trying to my housework done I would have to go to bed two or three times a day. Really I was almost past going. I had been in bad health for ten or fifteen years. "Some friends induced me to try Tanlac. I now weigh over ten pounds more than I did when I began to take Tanlac. It gave me a good appetite, too, quieted my nerves, built up my strength generally and soon corrected my stomach troubles so I can eat heartily and do not suffer afterwards. Tanlac sure is a fine medicine, it was that for me, and I am glad to give the very highest recommendation, for.it did more for me than any other iiicim.inv x c* ti t Gilder & Weeks, Newberry, S.
