By the flow of the inland river.
Whence the fleets of iron have fled.
Where the blades of the grave grass
quiver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
j Waiting the judgment day;
| Under the one the blue,
, Under the other the gray.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat, ■
All with the battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the laurel, the blue;
Under the willow, the gray.

“ASSIGNMENT IN BRITTANY”
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses, the blue;
Under the lillies, the gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun rays fall.
With a touch, impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dtew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the blue;
Mellowed with gold, the gray.
So,when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmer falleth
The cooling drip of the rain;
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the blue,
Wet with the rain, the gray.

VERNA AND HAL KOHN
By ETHEL L. COUNTS
With 18 million or more Victory
Gardens, many a homemaker will
have homegrown tomatoes, berries
and other garden food for summer
meals, and now and again some for
canning. In local markets, also,
there may be at times some fruit or
vegetable sufficiently abundant, fresh
and reasonable to attract homemak
ers on the lookout for food to put
up.
This year especially it’s well
worthwhile to put up even three or
four jarsi at a time, always provided
you have the right equipment for
canning. On the basis of blue ration
stamps needed for commercially
canned foods, every jar of home can
ned food represents a saving in ra
tion points, besides all the other ad
vantages of storing up summertime
food for winter.
It is also most important that the
right methods are used so as to re
duce spoilage to a minimum. A can
ning bulletin written especially for
South Carolina is available to you
now by asking at the office of the
Home Demonstration agent. You can
also gei: a pamphlet on brining and
methods of making sauer kraut. It
is yours for the asking.
The Extension service is very an
xious to serve you in every way pos
sible and we will be glad to have you
call- on us at any time. The Home
Demonstration Agent can usually be
found in 'the office in the mornings.
The afternoons are given over to
meetings in the various sections of
the county.
The parting word is.—watch your
garden for insects. They can do an
irreparable damage in a very short
time. Be on the alert for the bean
beetle, potato bug, and squash bug.
FURMAN REAGIN OUT AGAIN
The friends of Furman Reagin will
be glad to learn that he is able to be
j out again and back at his place of
' business after being ill at his home
j on Glenn street for the past two
! weeks.
with their daughter and son-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Tolbert. ,
Miss Mary Johnson is spending this
weekend at Myrtle Beach with
friends.
Mrs. George Epps and Miss Lucy
Eppsi are visiting relatives in Atlanta
Ga.
TIN CAN DAY
This Friday, June 4 will be tin can
day for Ward No. 1. Housewives ard
asked to please put out their cans
on the curb by 9 o’clock so that the
city trucks can collect them.
Sunday Scouting
I went Sunday morning to the
beauty of the Oriental Iris in the
Wells’ gardens from the Lindsy street
entrance, but to try (to describe such
flowers is useless. You are welcome
to go any Sunday morning while they
are in bloom; you’ll get as much out
of it spiritually as you will Sunday
school, mayby more.
I then used an extra pint of gaso
line to see Homer Sdhumpert’s
grounds and flowers at the water
plant. As we have said before Homer
has done a remarkable job on these
grounds but we do wish he would
quit trimming his shubbery (to look
like a Hill-billy’s hair cut Homer has
some theory about trimming it high,
I don’t remember just what, but is
probably utilitarian.
The park grounds at the swimming
pool looks neglicted. The grass needs
cutting and 'the effects of the “fine
Italian hand” of Mrs. Mamie Summer
is conspiculusly absent.
