Private Patterson's death was due to pneumonia and is said to hav^ occurred on September 7. He was sent to camp some two months or more ago and remained in camp only a few days when he was sent across. The death of Private Patterson marks the first death, so far as reported, of any of the young men who have gone to the front from Fort Mill or the immediate vicinity. A gloom was cast over the entire community Tuesday by the announcement that death had claimed little Mary Blake Link, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Link.The child died at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning of membraneous croup, following an attack of influenza. The burial was made in New Unity cemetery Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock, after services at the home by the Rev. F. W. Gregg, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Rock Hill, assisted by Rev. J. W. H. .Dyches, of the local Baptist church. Little Mary Blake was a bright, sweet little girl and was a special favorite among her little playmates and others who knew her.

The Liberty Bond issue was the live topic of discussion as many of the members are on the women's committees for solicitation of subscriptions, and the bonds bought and owned by Kanawha chapter were exhibited. Members also exhibited English and French coins which had been received from their soldier relatives in France. Delegates to the State conference were elected as follows: Miss Susie White, regent, with Mrs. J. Lee Spratt as alternate, and Mrs. A. Theo Neely, delegate. Plant Gardens. Owing to a shortage in sumi mer vegetables due to the drought, many pantries are not yet well stocked against the winter demands. As all indications point to extremely high prices in foodstuffs this year and particularly in canned goods of all descriptions, housewives are urged to plant now such vegetables as onions, early cabbage and green salads of various sorts which will stand uur winter climate, and to can or dry all late beans, peas, tomatoes, corn, pears, etc. If one has or can secure the use of a steam pressure canner, sweet potatoes may also be canned; it has been shown that in an ordinary year a large part of the potato crop is lost when stored by the usual hilling method, and in a severe winter such as those of the two past years practically the entire crop is rendered unfit for use. For this reason it is advisable to can as many as possible both for home use and for market, canned potatoes being in greater demand on the market than any other vegetable except tomatoes. The methods of caimimr nm?. - - *o toes are two, but both necessitate boiling, peeling the potato first. Then either mash the potato and pack it in the can dry or cut it in tubes and pack with a syrup made by allowing one tablespoonful of sugar to a two pound can; in either case the packing and processing must be done at 1 once to prevent discoloration. If packed in tins exhaust three pound can 15 minutes, very hot, and process 70 minutes under 15 pound pressure. If using gl ass process four hours straight. * Jf Jj, . , 1 _ York County News Matters.
