COLLETON'S CLUB MAKERS
Misses Fickllng and Varn and Mr.
Risher may truly be csl^d Collt-
tda'a Club Makers, for-they are en
gaged in creating organizations of
young folks for the betterment of
tbe county, and of themsehtae.
These arc not "social" clubs in' the
strictest sense, although they are
noteworthy for the sociM life they
create over the county. They ace
not purely "literary" clubs, though
they are usually organized in the
school room, and to be a good mem
ber one must read and study. They
are not "card” clubs, though the
members have much tq with card*
—score cards, eto^ They are nog
"dancing" clubs, though at eertaiu
seasons of the year the thembefo
have to dance to keep ahead of the
— | „ / _ ' , ■
grass, and the insect pests. These
are the kinds of clubs so essential
to, life, especially In time" of war.
and few “scandaU" will ever result
from membership in one of them
It is reported that a girl who goes
through a course in one or two of
these clubsSmake a mighty accept

•time is coming—yea, is here now —
when the. club members will be

UAHD FROM J. F. BRYAN
Please allow me space in your
paper td say that on account of con
ditions caused by the war. I want
to do what I can on my farm, and
want to cut my time in my ofBce
Mondays. Thursdays and Ssturdavs.
and at home every night. I can at
tend to the business of tbe office in
one day each week if all would come
ai» a certain day. I feel that everv
ounce of energy ought to be used
by everybody in the making of food
stuffs wdiile this miserable war lasts,
and l am going to do all I can and
encourage others to greater activity.
The government is very anxious
about getting castor beans, grown.
It needs them badly and offer good
prices. I have been corresponding
with Mr. T. S. Evans, of Hamlet, X.
C.. and have got fzom him alt in-
fnrmatlon about these beans,—anti
will be glad to let any one who
wants to plant know what Mr. Ev
ans says. I sin actual^ afraid that
if the people don’t wake up to
realize our danger, .Germany might
lick us. 'There are so many things
that could happen to hurt our cause,
but If we have plenty qf rations, and
oil foe .our ^:r craft, our danger is
lessened.' Tf Germany was to win
she probably would put her heel on
us. If we win we would extend *o
p«f/a helping hand; so. It’s best for
to lick. If we win we have got
to work for it. All my spare tidi^
while on the farm I*, am plowing,
haven't plowed any before for 3'i
years. J v nm going to wqrk as never
before until this war is, over. .
