. 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

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

who wishes to do so to learn how to

that can be produced. To those who

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

It is very difficult for any
one hut an expert to tell the
difference between a 50c
imitation pearl and a genuine
pearl.of the same size worth
$500—therefore one might
buy the 50c imitation because
it looks like the genuine article
and this is all any pearl has
to do.
