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

“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.
. First, select.the bank wisely, ani if the acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish without
cost to you. We want your business and heartily invite
you to maintain business relations with us.
