THE MANNING TIMES 1. I. APPELT---------------------------------------------Editor F. M. SHOPE----------------------------------Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. MANNING, S. C., MARCH 6, 1918 EVERYBODY MUST WORK This country has made some very successful "drives" during the past year. There have been the two Liberty Loan'drives, the Red Cross drive, the Y. M. C. A. drive and others. But greatest of all, the 1917 drive for the greatest development of war gardens the world has ever seen. And the success of this drive is still plainly to be seen in the great abundance of canned and dried fruits and vegetables to be found in the homes of the land. There is no doubt that these gardens have played a most import ant part in our plan of food conservation, and are still effective And now again the country is called upon for a record production of food stuffs, an even greater if possible than the last. The success of the garden campaign of last year should spur us to renewed and greater efforts this year. There should not be an idle garden or back yard in the land. Every square foot of ground should be made to yield its quota of the food that is to win the world war. Now is the time to be planning these gardens. It is not necessary to wait until the time comes for actual plant ing. When that time arrives every person should have planned the entire summer's program and should know just what every foot of his ground is intended to produce. Fences should be put in thorough repair, the ground should be cleared of all obstructions and nothing but the mecahnical working out of matured plans should remain to be done when spring really opens. One more thought while on this subject: Plan to not let the garden interfere with the larger and greater work each man and woman must do in this year of supreme en deavor. To effect this, the garden should be made a means of recreation, and should take the place of baseball, football, tennis, golf, joy-riding and other amusements it should be the solace of the jaded business man and the Fired society woman. Yes, the women will find renewed iealth and vigor from a few hours each day spent in gar dening. And then when we have these gardens growing and producing, let us make a wise use of their products, that we may conserve even more meats and wheat for our he roes "over yonder," and our allies who are fighting by their sides. "Garden sass" is an ideal summer diet. We admire patriotism in the children. We are willing they should be drafted into every activity wherein their zeal and optimistic enthusiasm has such splendid results. Let them sell baby bonds, push the Red Cross campaign and engage in any other activity that will further our cause in this great world war. But for their own. dear sakes, let's have them regard it all as just a struggle for the right. Hold before their little eyes the grand princi ples that animate us, and keep well in the back-ground the horrors that try our souls. Let us not permit their young and innocent minds to become inoculated with the poison of hatred. Time enough in after years to make .plain to them the horrors of the conflict. Just now it suf fices that their country needs their enthusiastic services. The members of the boy's corn clubs, pig clubs, and the girls' caninng clubs should be actively at work these dlays, that the enthusiasm may not be perLmitted to wane in the slightest degree. T~he work of these agen ties never counted for so much as they will the coming season. The great dtrgency of food conservation during the coming year opens a field for the activities of these 'erganiizations never before offered them. Heretofore their work has been largely as a matter of pride in super ir achievement for achievement's sake. Now there is the added incentive that every gain effected counts in the final winning of the war. Each worker has the full know ledge that his or her individual efforts are not only appre ciated but urgently needed. This should spur them to the effort to discount all former records. The young p~eo pie of the land are exhibiting a spllenldid patriotism, and inw may rest assured it is appreciated to the full by their el~dei's, ________-the home of Mrs. B.. N. Stewart.

McLaurin, of Ben nettsville, has accepted an invitation to make a speech here on Friday eve ning, March 15th, at eight o'clock. Mr. McLaurin is a very able speaker and well posted on the war and cot ton situation, and will speak on these measures here. Everybody should come out and hear this distinguished speaker. There will be no charges whatsoever, and everybody is invited. The town election passed off very quietly here today, and very little op position was offered. In fact the on ly opposition was Mr. Melvin Shirer, who defeated Mr. Mack Plowden for warden by a majority of 15 to 20 votes. The city officials for the en suing year will be: W. H. Anderson, Independent, with Messrs. Willie Mc Clary, Leon Davis, Harry Carigan and Mr. Shirer as wardens, and it is expected that the interest of the town will be taken care of and that every thing will go along smoothly. Here's hoping. Subscriber. .- -..-- -o ROLL OF HONOR DAVIS STATION SCHOOL For Fifth Month Ending March I Requirements: A minimum average of 90 per cent on lessons, and of 95 per cent on conduct.
