VOLUME ELL BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2STH, 1*17. . HISTORY OF CLUB WORK. iMteresting Report by Mias JulU Delk. a Barnwell Glob Girt The following history of club work was written by Miss Julia Delk, a member of the Barnwell County Toma to Club: Did you ever stand in a seaport and see a ship coming up? First it seemed 1 a tiny speCk xmt on the hori zon. As you stood and gazed it came nearer and nearer and grew larger and when it ran into harbor and an chored you saw a' magnificent struc ture not at all like the tiny dot that before sailed so obscurely on the o- cean wave. That is the way we gain our knowledge in canning club work. When we first begin it is just a tiny dot on th^ great ocean of knowledge. Year after year we toil steadily on, learning and doing over again the things we learn, growing larger and larger in knowledge and experience, until at last we are looked upon as something greater than just an ordi nary person. The tiny seed is plant ed and ere long it becomes a great plant or tree. We begin our work ig norant of the great things that have come to us, but as nature decreed that ll shall grow and improve we have the great problem of the high of living by enlarging the canning i work and utilising every article r ef food that is grown ia the from the fi THREE LITTLE INCIDENTS. American People Will Buy Bonds When Meaning Is Explained toThem. That if the people thoroughly un derstand what a Libery Bond means and how easy it is for a person to own one or more the 1 present series would be over-subscribed } g evidenced by three instances that have come under the observation of a Barnwell man during the past week. The first was that of two farmers, who, up until this year, have been finding it pretty hard to make both ends meet. This year, however, they have made enough to pay all of theik obligations and leave a surplus. They are patriotic men and panted to help their government in its hour of trial, but feared if they put their money in p bond that they could not readily convert it into cash if a rainy day should come. When it was explained to them that they could bor row $46 at any bunk'in the county on a $60 bond they immediately put their dollars at the job of helpnig to beat the Hun. , Two school touchers also wished to invest in s Liberty Bond, but didn't have enough spurs money to pay for it out right As soon us u friend ex plained that one-tenth cash was suf ficient for the initial payment and that the deferred payments could be ef monthly, they lady hue her RUB OUT PAIN. with good oil liniment.

It furnishes occupation for both hand and brain, and the best and daintiest food for our Uhls, put up in a sanitary way. It furnishes an opportunity for any one who wishes to do so to learn how to save and preserve almost everything that can be produced. To those who wish to enter the work but who hesi tate from a financial standpoint I wish to say that I never put anything into the canning club but that I got it back again with profit. Next year more girls will be in the work than ever before, for, as I have said before, we must feed the people who are fighting for us and of necessity, there must be Tio waste from our table, our gardens or our farms, but. on the J10, third prize $7 ....
