LENTY OF CANS AND SUGAR o
OR PRESERVNG AND CANNING v
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES s
V
South Carolina made a most en- 8(
iable record last year in its canning a
ampaign. Perhaps no State showed b
s intelligent effort as did this State t
or preserving her vegetables and a
ruit crops.
Those who showed the foresight to 0
an and preserve reaped the full ben- c
fits by not having to buy canned s
oods at high prices. From a pureV
economical standpoint the neces- e
ity of canning fruits and vegetables K
i more serious this year than ever P
efore. Last year many thought
hey would not be able to get sugar /
>r their canned goods, jellies and preerves.
The government is regulatng,
and will continue to regulate
he price of sugar, and will hold it
it a normal figure.| Food Admins- s
rator Klliott is confident that ten ''
ents per pound for sugar, at retail,
vill be the prevailing price.
It is, therefore, very prudent to r
>lant vegetables and such foodstuff '
is can be conserved during the comng
summer. The government is al* 1
eady taking ample precausions to 1
tee that everybody gets plenty of *
ontainers and sugar, and the fol- 1
owine fr?lotrr?m nraa aanf nut
he Pood Administration office in
Washington. It will be of general 1
nterest, and reads:
"Regarding sugar supplied for
nanufacturing of essential food pro- '
lucts appreciation necessity of both '
production and preservation of food
lupplies as well as reflecting the poicy
of the food administration as ?
peering upon collateral industries,
tuch as manufacturers of cans and
Fruit jars, etc, and buyers of same, all
manufacturers of essential food products
are advised that they will be
sble to obtain their'full necessary requirements
of sugar for manufacturing
purposes during coming season.
This applies particularly to packer^

HOW TO CO-OPERATE
WITH THE LOCAL PAPER
Dr. Liberty II. Bailey, writing recently
in the New York Independent,
expressed about the same idea we
tried to emphasize in a recent editorial,
"Co-operate With Your Local
Paper." In discussing the progressive
county paper of the future, he
says:
"The 'news' is to be less a printing
of personal gossip than a record
of the real progress of the region;
who has built a new barn, and the
[dans that went into it; who has purchased
a pure-red animal, and why;
who has tried a new method, and the j
results; who has given a lecture or
demonstration, and what was said;1
who has installed a system of drainage,
and how; the year's crop movements,
and the reasons."
In every community let's have
some man or woman ready to co-operate
with the local paper in reporting
the community news?and let every!

ANDREW J. ADAMS
Through the columns of The Chesterfield
Advertiser I wish to say a
few words in memory of Mr. A. J.
Adams, who died February 11th,
1918.
Mr. Adams was ubout forty-nine
years of age. The only thing ever
heard of him was good. He was a
good neighbor and was ever ready to
try to accommodate those who asked
a favor of him. He was a consistent
member of Friendship church.
As we cannot give expression to
our love for him we will just say that
Mr. Adams will be missed in his com
munity.

DON'T SAVE CANCELED STAMPS
Don't waste time and energy savI
ing canceled postage stamps for the
Red Cross. Somebody, somewhere,
has started one of those pleasant hut
likely -to -be -annoying fictions concerning
the value of postage stamps
which have served their original purpose.
This time the idea spread
abroad is that the American Red
Cross has devised a method of extracting
the dyes. The Post Office
Department reports that several bag*
of old stamps have accumulated
through the good will of persons wht
have thought they were doing some
thing to help win the war. Withir
the last two weeks, also, scores ol
letters have been received at Ret
Cross headquarters, from persons ask
| ing information regarding the mat
ter. The stamps are of no use W> th<

FROM OUR SOLDIER BOYS
Mr. David Vaughn, Sr., has received
the following letter from his son
Frank P. Vaughn, Somewhero in
j France
Jan. 17, 1918.
C. B., 117th Eng.
A.E.F., Via New York
Dear Papa:
I wonder what you are doing these
days; planning for the next year's
crop, I suppose. I suppose the people
are planning to plant lots of cotton
this year, though I hope not, for it is
going to take something besides cotton
to win this war, and if the farm- ^
ers will try and work to our advant- ^ *
age to win the war they will do their
mi on inc iarm as we are doing it
here in France.
We are getting along fine at present,
though we have had some pretty
rough weather. The snow has
heen twelve to eighteen inches deep,
though the weather has now turned
warm and the snow is gone, and we
are doing our bit right on.
Kvan and I are well and having a
fine time.
I hope this letter will wander over
I the blue sea and find you all the same.
We are getting good eats, plenty
of clothes to wear and a good, warm
place to sleep, so why should we
worry, or dread the Germany?

last Mr. E. H. Southern, of America,
was with us. I am sure you have
heard of him as he is one of America's
greatest actors. I enjoyed hearing
him so much. He was here to
arrange for the coming over of fif'een
troups of the best actors and
actresses in America, who will make
it their business to entertain the boys.
1 received a lively five-pound box
of candy from one of my girl friends
in Texas yesterday. Sure am enjoyng
it. I have certainly been thought
of by the people back there. I have
had many things sent to me by them,
though some were lost. Nearly every
mail brings me either candy or smoking
tobacco or knit work.
I am going to bring back lots of
junk from here when we finish. Guess
they will let us do that.
I will close, with love to you ull,
Your brother,
Charles R. Cason.
