(illlLH' CANNING CLUBS Wc trust that the work to bc started In Anderson county by Miss Janyo Gar I in ?t on will meet with a ready re sponse and that she may have a very large class ot girls to begin tho study and culture of the tomato. As our forefathers thought of it, the tomato was a poisonous fruit and was con sidered dangerous. And now the coun try ls filled with girls learning to grow and can tho fruit, and the world is a market for thu products. We are sure that no county in South Carolina can beat Anderson county in raising tomatoes, and no girls In the State can look as pretty as Anderson county girls with their whito aprons on and their checks rosy and red from the exercise of cultivating and preparing tomatoes for the table or the mar ket. Another organization which would KO well with the girls' canning clubs would te the boys' pig clubs which bave proven so popular In various parts of he State. Why cannot Ander son county have a large number of these pig clubs, and some competition be gotten up over the relative merits of tomato clubs or boys pig clubs. This would be a good subject for a Jcbato In tho schools, and wo propose ts s subject for some literary or de bating society: "Resolved, That Girls' Canning Clubs aro Worth More to the County than Boys' Pig Clubs." RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS Speaking of girls' canning clubs and boys' pig clubs reminds one of the great value these organizations are is a means of adding zest to the social life of the rurel communities of the Stste. Clarence Poe, the editor >f Tho Progresivo Farmer, recently louvered an able address on "The Ru ral Problem and the Rural Commun ity," In which he sets forth the great need of he rural community for so cial centers and social Ute. He says that the advent of the rural mall de livery has largely obliterated the community boundaries, ?nd that to say one liver, on "Anderson, R. F. D. No. 8" dosi not convoy any Idea of the whereabouts of that home? The old postoffice did give one a home, so to ?peak, and a community center. Now the social center- must ?be the school, and this ls lust what lt should be. There ail the meetings of the commun ity should be held, and from this cen ter .should radiate- ail the- factors for building up each community, and eur tn en Ung its people together. Fermera should bold their meetings; the com Bulty fair should bo .there?* sad it hld be the home of'the giris* can sing clpbs, tho boys' pig clubs, and ??s,; bO*s' coi-ft . Cl Ubi. . ?"ii y athletic sports, the debating or literary soci eties should hold meetings tbere. So the people of Anderson- county should welcome Miss Carlington with apon arma and assist her ia every way possible in organizing this most help* fol and Interesting work, the girls' canning clubs. We should also provide Tor sad welcome tba farm worker who will organise tho boya' nig clubs. An? iorson county, cannot afford to make better fermera of ber. girls than of 1er boys. . HIE PHYSICIAN IN THE COMMUN ITY.

Japanese have the better ideas, and lt would ' well for tbs people ot Oils count y to adopt the Japanese custom. Anderson county has eomo taoet progressive physicians, and they are alive to the wellbeing of the health ful conditions ot the county. This is evidenced in the splendid pspers read at each meeting ot the county a/vo ciatton. ant* by Ute dally practice of tbs doctors as they meet their patients.

"In answering the call of their country," said the secretary, "nine teen men, sailors anti marines, won the distinction and glory of death on the field of battle. America then, mourning her loss, was like Mob!, 'all tears/H The se' olary spoke of the honors paid these heroes at the time their bodies wore brought to the United States, when President Wilson him self, in an address at Brooklyn, voic ed the nation's appreciation of their valor, and said: "Today we are gathered to do honor to the men who marched shoulder to shoulder with the immortal 13 and to sive to them proof that this grateful republic knowg how to gladd?n tho hearts of its living heroes as well SB to bedeck with flowers tlu graves of those fallen. This gathering today, the large pension voted to sailors and soldiers, the recognition In a hundred ways ot men whose courage and achievement have brought glory to our land attest the truth that, whllo the dead are held in loving memory, those bravo men who survive have the love and appreciation of their countrymen and their courage held up to the emulation of patriotic youths." Secretary Daniels said the medals were tokens of a grateful country's appreciation of work nobly done; of duty well performed, of readiness to face grave danger. "You know." he continued, "that the signal most prized in the fleet ls the one flying from the flagship tell ing- that something has been well done, and that whllo some particular one. perhaps, has won it. yet thc honor ls for the ship. "Thus it is, young men, that you, by your heroic work, your Ano disci pline, your loyalty, have earned the signal 'well doue' and caused it to fly over the whole service, bringing a glow to pride and admiration to the hearts of ail patriotic Americans, and Increasing their faith in their de tenders who go down to the sea in ships.
