Many of the dyspeptics now held i

less delicacies and more vepeta

Let us go about our work, eve

The great wheels of industry mus

IT IS EFFICIENCY THAT COI NTJ
More and more it is being demoi
strated that high efficiency is the cr\
ing need. There is no use in cost

another. The thing to do is to tab
stock of yourself. You will find th .

This is a day for the well trainei
efficient man. Any other sort of ma
is too expensive, makes too many mitakes,

AS TO THE HOND ISSl K.
Now that the bond issue has carrie
for Union township, it is time to b
rivinrr nut 4^
,.i?? iiic commissioners a<i
vice in chunks. Wo have none to giv
them. Wo believe thov will carry on
faithfully the big job that the town
ship has put upon them. We belicv
they will honestly and earnestly prose
cute this work and that it will be wel
done. We only pray that it may b
spotdilj done. If this township sue
ceeds in this movement it will sprea
to every other township in the rount>
We are sorry that it is not to be
county-wide proposition from th
start, but feel sure that success i
l*i.ion township will spell success fo
all the townships.
On Tuesday of this week Lauren
county voted on a county-wide s;.00,
AAA 1 1! i*
www uomi issue ior goou roodx and tn<
bond issue carried l>y almost three t<
one. It is understood that the I .an
rens county people, provided the $.'100,
800 bond issue carried, intend to ad<
another $200,000 bond issue, making i
half a million. We had hoped tha
Union county would set the pace fo
Laurens county, but it seems the "shot
is on the other foot."
I
m '
5 There seems little doubt but that
the congress of the United States will
^ declare that a state of war exists
_ between this country and Germany,
r We do not feel it necessary to become
seized with a gripping fear nor
r do we feel it to be right that we
- should become possessed of a rabid
'' war spirit. This is a time for sane
- people to exercise common sense. If
fight we must, let us do our part
? bravely and with an undying loyalty
0 to our country. If, in the providence
of God there be found some honorable
g way to a speedy peace, let us remem0
jber our allegiance to the Great Teacher,
"The Prince of Peace," and gladly
accept that path for our feet. It is
( I wise that this country make thorough
, 'preparation for war. It is right that
, I we remember the fact that war is
1
n the last resort, and then only in dei
fence of our honor. It is well, also,
u i
y 'to remember that the loudest talkers
j, are often the last to do the fighting.
Let us refrain from unseemly speech,
but perform in the spirit of true men,
j. he duties that come to us.
LOCKHART JUNCTION
Lockhart Junction, April 4.?We
have several very pretty spring days
n the past week and a great deal of gar
, jdening has been done. Saturday was
la day for planting and fixing the gar'*
I dens in this section. This morning the
k.jplows are going everywhere and if this
j J be a fair week there will be lots of
jwork done.
u | It seems the speculator has it his
i- way now; everything is so liigh. Of
^ | course in some places feed stuff was
tnot made last year, even this section
of Union county suffered a great loss
>r, by too much rain, but the prices shoul I
'not be so high. Irish potatoes, c'-I.OO a
I bushel?isn't that too high.' 1 heai
I many people say they will not plant
any this year, too high?can't H'oid
to buy them. I believe we o.'ght t
i buy some and make our own seed. !
am going to plant and am in hopes I
can make some to eat and then I will
i, save my own seed for planting. My
). father never had to buy any seed?al)
| ways had a plenty.
It seems now that the war is bring'*|ing
about their times of speculation
!- and we do not know the outcome. War
^ i talk is all we hear these days. I do
not like to prophesy hut if the United
^ I States gets into war, I fear prices
.c'will go higher and we will "have to do
ft like the people in the Confederate war.
! I remember my mother making salt
'" from the dirt she dug from the smoke
il house and others did the same thing.
ITU?.. i :i_ i i.L . -i?i
, j i i iii-j iiunvu ini; uirt a own tin it made
| some kind of salt?I cannot tell just
? how it was done but it was done and
| made salt for their own use. Other
things were made; some made shoes
, ; without leather, they were made with
' | wooden bottoms and cloth uppers. CofI
fee was made from the wheat, rye and
. sweet potato and I have heard them
] ! say it was pood coffee. We never
know what we can do until we have
y it to do.
e! My father said he had filled his canteen
of water from a mud hole in the
i middle of the road. This seems stranpo
but they could not always wait unt'l
s|they came to the next stream. It looks
like water is free but it was not aljways
plentiful. Listen apain! I
e heard him say he had seen some pathf.
jer waste corn from off the pround
v I where the horses had been fed and
' J parch and eat it. I could tell lots
n J more and will some future time when
n T can think of it.
Conpress meets today, but we do
not know what the outcome will be.

STYLE SHOCKS AMELIA E. BARR.
New York, March 29.?Undressed
women in half portion frowns shock
the venerable authoress, Amelia S.
Barr, she admitted on this, her 87th
birthday. Mrs. Barr, who has her
home at Richmond Hill, Booklyn, is
the author of more than 75 novels
which for more than half a century
have been perused by the novel readers
of this and other countries.
Mrs. Barr believes Dame Fashion
shows poorer taste and less of it today
than at any time in the last 75 years.
Women of today, Mrs. Barr declared,
do not dress, they undress.
And their clothes are ugly, too, she
says. In addition to that she thinks
girls today go in too much for athletics
and use too much slang. Slang
in the mouth of a woman, she said,
is a sure sign she is on the downward
path. Golf and tennis are for men
only, she believes.
Mrs. Barr is as alert and active as
at 40.
There are several ways of improving
your time which aren't set forth
in the good advice in the old-fashioned
copy books.
Courtesy opens many doors and the
lacl? of courtesy leaves them open.
