H. C. HOLLOWAY, FRANK R. HUNTER. On Your Next Paint Job TRY Atheys R. M. LOMINACK Hardware The Farm Women’s Chorus will meet next Saturday afternoon, Janu ary 27, at 2:30 p. m., at Willowbrook Club house. All club members are urged to be present and bring pro ject songs and gray book. Frame gardens might be of inter est to those interested in providing fresh vegetables from the cold frame weeks before the regular garden can be planted. Very satisfactory dimen sions are 20 feet long and not over 4 or 5 feet wide. Of course, it is im portant to start the garden with good soil. Spade up the ground for about 1 inches and fertilize with well rotted manure. Plant vegetables in rows 8 to 12 inches apart running the nar row way to make cultivation easier. As soon as one crop is over another can be started. A good grade of mus lin makes the best cover for the pro tection of the vegetables. The specialists tell us that where these frame gardens have been pro perly tried out they have played an impoitant part in improved family living. They not only cut down the grocery bill, the doctor’s bill, and the home maker’s work, but also help im prove family health by supplying plenty of leafy vegetables at seasons when we do not find them in our gar dens. First rule in farming should be Food for the Family. The book of the month for farm people should be the seed catalog. Study them carefully and get the best seed available. —“Seldom do bargain seeds”—enlist in the war on weeds.

ROTARY CLUB DONATES TO PEOPLES’ HOSPITAL The members of the Board of Trus tees and personnel of the Peoples’ hospital wish to acknowledge with much appreciation the many useful gifts donated to the institution during the pre-holidays, and for those re ceived last week from Mr. J. D. French, also a member of the club. With the first supply, came good news that, more would follow, there fore we withheld expression of thanks until this time. The gifts and money- amounted to about $150.00, and if the hospital had listed their needs, the members of the club could not have been more wise and generous in selecting them. We feel very much indebted to the Rotarians for a similar humanitarian act last year. We pledge greater service to the Negroes of Newberry and vicinity, made possible by the support and co operation the white people generally have given us. Dr. J. E. Grant. About COAlu* PROBLEMS C. T.

TALKING SHOP The best way to make a long walk short is to have someone interesting to talk with. I discovered that last Wednesday afternoon. I was walk ing up Boundary street, and it hap- pended that at the same time Mr. R. G. Reagin was going the same way. While walking along, we began to talk, and Mr. Reagin told me that he used to be a newspaper man, so then we really began to talk “shop.” Mr. Reagin said that while he was living out west, he wrote poems for papers, and after he moved to Newberry he worked on a local paper, drawing up ads. “Even while soling shoes,” he said, “I had the desire to write ads. Once you get in the newspaper busi ness, you never want to leave it for very long at a time. I learned that what it takes to get people to read ads is something that will capture and hold their attention, and the title means a lot.” Before I realized it, Mr. Reagin had reached his destination, and again the old adage, that all things must come to an end, had come true. SCHOOL LOVERS A local teacher told this. It seems that if the students didn’t have exams last Friday, they weren’t re quired to come to school. The teach er told one of his sections that and since no one in that particular sec tion had an exam he didn’t expect to see them the next day. “Imagine my surprise”, said this teacher, “to walk in my classroom and see two girls sitting there. I thought I had made it clear that they didn’t have to come, but evidently I hadn’t so I began to explain again. They stop ped me before I had started, though, and said they knew they didn’t HAVE to come to school, they just WANTED to.” COLEMAN WITH McSWAIN FUNERAL HOME R. L.
