"Ever" since tho first World Wur the poppy has been In tribute to the men who guve their lives in that conflict. Now new names are being Inscribed among America's heroic dead. The poppy Is for them, too. It is i* symbol of our sorrow and ,prlde. It Is a pledge that we will ralwaydf rotjriembor them and serve on in the cause for which they died.

We've all been advised not to board ?and that's necessary advice indeed. Hut there is one basic commodity which the government wants us to "hoard" now?coal. High officials are urging individuals to purchase next winter's coal stocks before summer ends?and preferably Immediately. This, of course, isn't "board"- at all. It la. iufltoad, a definite contribution to the war effort. ' The reason for it Is simple. If overyone waits until cold weather arrives before ordering coal, the drain on the mines and on the agencies which mont transport the fuel, will be tremendous. Worst of all, that drain will come at a time?early and middle fall?when crop movements are at their peak. And iu addition, war freights of all kinds will be substantially heavier In the fall than now. The point is to get every possible ton into the hands of the ultimate i consumer at the earliest possible! (time. So, buy your winter's j>?al today. Then you'll be doing jrour part to clear the transportation lines for war traffic. And you'll also make certain that you won't be out of 'fuel when you need it. Wash your car loss and take enough time to wipe off the car after euch trip, using a soft cloth for preservation of the paint. CANNERY ASSURED It la encouraging to note that plana have materialised for the Spartanburg orchardlsts' cooperative cannery, enough shares of stock having beeu aold and paid for to insure the establishing of the plant. Construction of the plant, which will be located on the Ashevlile highway cue mile north of the city, will begin in the immediate future if no uuforseeu impediment Js encountered from the federat goveirnment in granting use of materials needed. The orchardlst already have in hand an appropriation of $25,000 made possible by the coiiuty delegation in the legislature, and in addition enough stock has boeu subscribed to insurer the building of a cannery equipped adequately enough to meet normal demands as a starter. Organization of the orchardists has j been affected by the election of lien Gramling president; J. W. Gaston, Sr., vice president; W. H. Stallworth, secretary, and Dr. C. J. Miller, treasurer. The capacity of the cannery will | be around 200,000 cases yearly, based 1 on a six-weeks season; while the machinery equipment Is designed to care for other crops as well. The need of the cannery has been evident ever since Spartanburg county embarked in peach cultivation on an extensive scale. It is the answer to profitable conserving for either use or marketing ofa considerable jZa of the annual yield of the orcta! that does not measure up to a&9 ityg, packing and shipping re3 ments of the standard fruit outside markets. The plant ciunfl conserve other fruit and vegetl products.?Spartanburg Journal. J ????
