USE YOUR ?JARDEN SPOT.
-Each and every family will be
provided with plenty of ground
for a garden spot this summer.
Your superintendent and the out
side overseer will see io it that
you are supplied with a good gar
den spot. To encourage every
body: and in order tn make it
casy-ior each family to use their
garden spot, the Companies 'will
give'thc ground one good deep
plowing. There ought not to be
a family in our entire group of
mills without a lirst class garden
There is no telling just how much:
a good vegetable garden will save
a family.
VIMES ON EVERYTORCH.
lt so 'happens sometimes that
thc front yard is so small or for
some other unavoidable reason it j
is impassible to do very much1]
with a variety of flowers. Wheth
er much is dione with flowers or J
not. .il.r p enible to have pretty
green .yines oft fcMfy t>c*ch-*-b?tb
front 'and back. Nothing will!
make your home look more pleas
ant or home like. Vines are easy
to grow. The ground should- be
sp?dc? up ?:t? least- Wetve inches
deep, and well rotted manure
carefully worked in. Tbert
when ;the ground gets warm, sow
mnrntne* {rjnrifc rlimtijntr nastur
tiums OT any other good'cllifiWng
seeds. - Sprinkle well with water
late .every day, preferably after
the sun goes down, and, when thc
vines come up, run some strings
from thc ground to the top of the
porch. If you will then give the
vines the proper care, the vines
themselves will do the rest. Woy
not try them this yearr Remem
ber thal the slogan for the Ander
son mill villages is: "Vines on Ev
ery Potch."
A WASHINGTON DISPATCH.
We ' wrote to Congressman
Aiken and Senator E, D. Smith
and asked them To use their in
fluence in getting us some good
flower and vegetable seeds for t* e
families in our mill Villages. ? We
are gi?rr to give:the good news
contained In the following letter
front Senator Smith:
United Slates Senate, * |

Mr. ' Mints will deliver them to
each home ?Vail the mill villages.
You will note that Senator Smith
is making ari effort to secure flow-J
er seeds also.

Of course it is discouraging, af

look adross the street or to glance

that your neighbors show their
places to remain an eye-sore. Do
not wotty because your neighbors
refuse to do their part. We have

WE~ARE PLEASED.
To say that rwr are pleased by
the hearty response and splendid
co-operation of practically every
[family living in ever1/ sirrgle' Vft*
l?ge in i and around Anderson is
indeed putting it very mildly,
when it comes io cleaning up our
mill villages. Not only did prac
tically every family observe
"Cleaning Up Week," but the
way in which the Companies got
the trash hauled off was great.
We want to thank every single
person who helped out on this im
portant work. lt seems that
?.everybody vorkedr*' and father
too, and that ls why this begin
ning of our work together was so
(successful. We are just as sorry
?as can be^hat each and every boy
and gift-who worked so hard did
not get a prize; all of them de
served one, however wc feel that I
winning a-prize was not the aim;
the good people in the mill vil
lages around Anderson entered*
into this cleaning up matter sim*
plv because they are. progressive
?arid fake great Britto-* itt their
homes and surroundings. Look!

I WHAT THEY THINK OF US.
"THE COMIAN appeared to

up, carries a lot of Association
news and many forceful editor
ials.'*-The State.
"THE COMIAN is full of Bur-|
nett, and superlatives predomin
ate."-AY. M. C. A. Secretary,
kj "The COMIAN is alright. I
congratulate you upon Volume 1, i
No. J, and shall look forward)
with eager interest to the various
?numbers, lt is like you to do big
things."-Another Y. M. C. A.

- CO-OPERATION.
Wc are already convinced that
cooperation is to be the big woTd
in this important work which THE
COMIAN is published to help
along.
Co-operation is one of the big
words of this generation. Never
before has so much emphasis been
placed upon this important word.
After all, it is the spirit . be-1
hind anything that makes it go,
and we- fe?l' especially, that ?such
spirit is prevalent among Our milt
villages in Anderson. To obtain
the largest possible results it is
uecfc?lry for every-one to lend a
hand. We have noticed the very
heartiest spirit of co-operation on
~he-parrot even the smallest chil
dren in the schools, as well as
that of the teacher?,- the fathers
and motbefs, . the - brothers
and sisters, the overseers, superin
tendents, and the mill presidents.
Even-the -store-keepers have en
tered into the plans as outlined in
the first issue the COMIAN
wi?rn^spirit of hearty co-opera
THE: LONESOME ONES,
In case there:are-p?fsons now
living in the Affdefson mill vitrag
es who do not expect to try to
beautify their homes this season,
we venture the assertion that they
will certainly be mighty lonesome.
AH of the ambitious and progres
sive people 4tvtrrgMtrf thta'-seetWh
are anxious for the mill, .. towns
here to gain the r?put?tijn of be
ing ?mong; the- best kept In the
state. We are making several
sujre&Botis in this issue of the
COMIAN telling when and how to
plant flowers and vegetables and
a lot of other good suggestions
??bout'beautifylng and m?lng the
borrie * surroundings comfortable.
The aim in at} the villages this
year it to HaW EVERY HOUSE
on EVERY STREET looking pret

; This Week
d by Secretary F. M. Burne', of the
ll Workers
BE PREPARED.
A few days zgo the Editor in
troduced a young man to one of
the'leading"business*?men of An
derson. This young fellow was
looking for a job. He was wlil7
ing to work, he wanted-to work,
lt happened that this particular
business man had two positions
open. For one of these prates
he would pay $5.oo per week; the
other was a ?I5.oo per week job.
The business man said something
like this to the young applicant
for work: "Yes, I can use*you, but
can pay you only ?5.00 per week.
I am needing someone tremen
dously just now in another ckpa
City. If you were prepared for
this better position, I would be
very glad indeed to give you a
trial."
We are indebted to Mr. Leon LA
Rice for the splendid article on
"Does it Pay to Save?" JBe sure
to fead it carefully.
DOES IT PAY TO SAVE?
h *.* Wp'pose' yo?'? . make twelve dol?
Ians a week and save one-fourth
of it; place this three dollars each
week in a savings bank, how long
do you suppose it woiilu take for
ymir savings to accumulate so
that the interest alene would con
tinue the payments? The an?
ywer is seventeen .l??i? on?-h?if
years, and at that time you would
have $3,644.80 in the hank and
the interest alone would amount
to more than three dollars a week.
At this time you Could cease Sav
ing and the interest would keep
up the payments just as you had
done in the days when you were
most able. Old age has no ter
rors for the man who saves. Is it
not strange that we go ahead with
youth and health aha* strength,
unmindful of tomorrow? lt is
your duty to 'save,:artd from 'this
day henceforth save something
each week, and tomorrow .will
tote ?re4 df Itself. .
