Work on the War
Gardens Being Pushed
Work completing arrangements for j
the War Gardens is being pushed so (
details may be taken up at an early
date. Already a number of applications
have been received from the I
pupils of the local schools but to date I
the list is not completed. Ample I
space for the patriotic work has been r
secured around the city through the I
efforts of the Uhamber of commerce
and cooperation of public-spirited citizens
who have donated the use of
their lots.
The City of Union has been deeply
interested and accordingly will do
the plowing which is quite an item
and one that everybody should deeply
appreciate. "C."

U nion to Have First Class i
Bakery Opened Soon
Realizing the necessity of a fltstclass
bakery for Union, some weeks
ago the Chamber of Commerce tObk
up an advertising campaign which f
has just resulted favorably. M. M.
Dixon, a baker from Alma, Ga^ following
correspondence with the Chamber
of x Commerce, reached Union
Tuesday to look over the field and
present site, and on Wednesday"tV'Jl
i"iTTfiww1111 iiiro
one as a reliable, trustworthy man
who knows his business, and, accordingly,
a five-year lease has been grant- ,
ed him by the Nicholson Bank and 1
Trust Co., which has the property in ^
charge. The property is now being 1
thoroughly renovated and all necessary '
repairs are being made with a view to
having a perfectly clean, sanitary location.
Mr. Dixon urged that the \
work be pushed as much as possible 1
as he desires to begin at an early date.
This bakery should mean much to the (
City of Union and the county. Mr.
Dixon was very much impressed with
Union and the splendid people and
gave assurances that we will have the
very best bakery products, including *
good bread, cakes, pies and hosts of *
other toothsome edibles we all like. \
Our obligation is to see that this
SDlendid enternrisp is sunnnrtpd tn r ^
man. The Ladies' Auxiliary and every
other organization and individual
are urged to give full and hearty cooperation
and encouragemeent to the
new bakery. It is gratifying to announce
that this new home industry
will at all times be opened to the
public for inspection so we may see
just how our food is handled. We
welcome the new enterprise and the
Dixon family at Union and wish them
prosperity and that we may realize
great benefits seems assured.

A Correction
We have read in The Union Times
he articles headed: "Historical Events
if Union County," papers read before
:he Fair Forest Chapter D. A. R.
Under "Kelton" written by Mrs.
Mary Hunter Young the statement is
nade: "Mt. Joy ig a flourishing Baptist
church. It is said that once after
i heated discussion ot church fuss at
Vft. .Jby, a devout old deacon, sitting
high in the Amen corner, took up his
lat and walking stick and announced
to the congregation that he was going
to do for that church what the devil
iad never done, leave it, and hob>led
out of the door."
In reference to the ahove satement,
sre beg to say that it is entirely withkaal

nembers of the church soon after the

intimately through all these
pears. The writer of the article referred
to has doubtless been misinformed,
or has gotten mixed on the
:hurch.
We write this to straighten out the
'history," and sincerely trust that
;he usual T>. A. R. paper is more reiable
in its statement of fact.

A Glowing Example
Of The "Small Field
Well Tilled"
Here is an example of thrift from
Monarch mill village, and the home
of Mrg^D. O. Willard who has resided
there only two years in the location
where these results were obtained.
The family consists of the father,
mother and five children, and three
boarders.
The land of the usual grade and
quality found in that vicinity consists
of a little over a quarter of an acre
the general management being under
Mrs. Willard who in addition to the
household duties finds time to keep
every foot of land working as a defense
against the high cost of living.

were grown to keep the family
and boarders, with an excess of 315
quarts of canned vegetables and
fruits for winter use, the fruit coming
from other sources but canned at
home. The family cow received sufficient
forage from the same land to
relieve the necessity of buying anything,
while additionally sufficient
corn was raised to supply a portion of
the meal used for the cow, a yearling
calf now on hand and valued at $20.00,
and the family: 25 bushels of sweet
and sufficient Irish potatoes to last
half through the winter were also
raised on the small plot. The winter
garden was well filled with turnips,
cabbage, collards and salads. Two
pigs were bought during early 1917
at a cost of $G.00, $17.00 worth of feed,
some of which is still on hand was
required to keep them. At killing
time they weighed 700 pounds, the
value of all the pork products be in#
$175.00 at prevailing prices. At present
one small room of the home is
well filled with hams, bacon, sausage,
lard, etc.
This year three pigs are being raised,
close watch being kept on the cost
of production .
The cow averages 3 1-2 gallons of
milk a day and 9 pounds of butter a

Thirty chickens were raised, and the
remarkable circumstance is that during
the hard weather of the past winter
the hens layed from 4' to 6 eggs a
day and are still busy. During the
gardening season Mrs. Willard prides
herself on keeping the chickens confined
and gets results accordingly.
This seems an isolated example of
real thrift and goes to prove beyond
doubt what may be accomplished on
a small plot of land properly managed.
There is no reason why we should not
have more such people. "C."
