THURSDAY NOVEMBER 29, 1914. A Farm Woman’s Exchange. Bayfield, Wis. will try out the experi- mentof a farm woman’s exchange. Co-operative effort is well understood in Bayfield where the fruit growers have built an industry by organization. Now the farm women, encouraged by town women, will apply the well known principles of a woman’a exchange to the marketing of eygs, butter, poultry, vegetables, and even akimmed milk, cottage cheese and butter-milk. It is purely a housekeepers' enter prise. Twenty-five farm women have enrolled in the informal association for a try-out in comparison with the crude method of kitchen door peddl ing. They have agreed to cut the maiket quotations in consideration of the saving in energy and labor. The committee of town women will grade and inspect all food products. There are visions of a permanent organization called a “Woman’s Co- Operative Association." And there are greater possibilities of foreign trade It is even suggested that these farm kitchen factories may sell preserves to the city grocers in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Chicken aspic in glass jars may- become a Bayfield export. Bottled venegar from Bayfield apples is within the range of the possibilities of this women's enterprise. Some notable examples of commer cial success have sprung from pin money enterprises with no greater pro mise than this. Deerfield, Mass., is famous because of its domestic made woven ruga. In Stevens Point, Wis., a woman has developed a world market for fish flies which she once manufac tured in her home, fame once peddled kitchen made pro ducts in a wheel barrow. Bayfield has a germ. ThankifivinK. Today, November 26th, is being gen erally obserued in the United States as Thanksgiving Day, a custom handed down to us by the Pilgrim Fathers, be ing first inaugurated by them at Ply mouth in 1621. As its name implies, it isa^festival of thanksgiving for the mercies of the closing year. With more than half of the world involved in a bloody war, we have great cause for thanksgiving. At peace with the warring nations, bless ed with bountiful crops, new markets for our products being opened up and the price of cotton giving promise of an advance, surely we have every reason for giving thanks to an all wise Providence who has safely led us through the trials and tribulations of a year unprecedented in the history of the world. From the Cannery. A junk dealer from the Middle West heard that Ford, the auto manufacturer, used tin cans in the construction of his car. He gathe ed up several hundred tomato, sauer kraut and oysters cans and sent them to the Ford factory along with a request that they be made into an auto. A week later he receiv ed a Ford by freight and a check for •9.80 by mail. He had sent in too many cans.' >«PT War Weary. The obligation that rests upon decent newspapers to tell the truth is ever a sacred and responsible one. At no time should it be more honored fh ob servance than during the continuation ofthe tragedy that is being enacted upon the European continent. A period like the present stiffens the demand for veracity made by a public that takes journalism seriously. Right-minded people have wearied of the unending procession of tales of horror, cruelty and destruction. They are eager, even anxious, to address themselves to the constructive policies of peace. The distorted perspective presented them by many newspapers gives them just offense. The plain truth is. the reading public is sick and tired of the monotony of the war diet served up to them. Yet how many sensational news papers disregard thdir duty to invent horrors for the sole purpose of claiming ’ supremacy in the publication of exclu sive news. Never in the history of the newspaper has there has been such a demand for Truth; yet never in the history of the newspaper has Truth been so care lessly handled. No wonder the reading public is weary of “war news. in an interview given to a Cincinnati newspaper, Governor Blease said that “President Wilson is a failure as chief executive of the United States.” Ifwe ever had any doubts that Dr. Wilson is the greatest President this nation has ever had theyhavobeen dispelled en tirely. We understand that the Barnwell County Girls’ Tomato Club will send some of its pioducts to the suffering Belgians. We almost envy them for the good things they will have to eat. An aviator named Luckey has been engaged to make flights at the Isle of Palms. Here’s hoping he’s all that his name implies. The Barnwell People thinks that Heinz of pickle whether he straddled or did not strad dle, the Governor effectually killed the bond issue. There is no doubt of its death.—Greenwood Index. Haavy Liquor Sale*. Barnwell county dispensaries sold about f22,005.00 worth of liquor during the month of October and the sales amounted to $30,000.00 in Orangeburg county. It is conservative estimate to say that less than one-tenth of that amount was sold in Ekgefield county. Are you not glad that the temptation is removed from our people especially when “hard times” weigh heavily upon them?—Edgefield Advertiser. In Large Figure*. The Barnwell People says that the Barnwell liquor-shops, ycelpt “dis pensaries,” took in more than $22,000 during the month of October. Barn well is not an average county in either size or wealth. x But suppose that would bd the average of the 44 coun ties of the state, it would make about one piillion dollars a month, or twelve aullibp- a year. And yet a minority of the members of the legislature, and the governor, and others thought a bond of $24,000,000, to be paid back in three years with good, sound cotton in warehouses, and pledged for the purpose, was too big a thing for South Carolina to handle in order to let her cotton growers get from <$7.50 to $10.00 a bale or more for their cotton.—Newv berry dtiaqnrer. . ~ ... ; - Advertise in The People.

Q. “THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH, YIELDING PLACE TO NEW” King Arthur sadly realized this truth when in passing away, he gave utterance fo the above thought. So it is in all kinds of business, banking included: the old way if not adapted to modern progress must give pla^e to newer methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss by theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn well Couqty by reasop of modern facilities in banking. MONEY IN BANK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET is the new order now practiced by all who are really progressive. .
