Called to Or.
ganize Corn and
Pig; Clubs

In view of the present short
age of food, both in bread and
meat, it is incumbent upon
every person, as far as means
and circumstances will permit,
to use every effort and energy
to make something to eat.
In order to encourage and
stimulate the boys and youths
of our county to do their part
in this tremendously impor-
tant duty to our country The
Bank of Edgefeld has decided
to organize our boys and
youths into pig and corn
clubs. We request that at
least one boy between the age
of 12 and Is years from each
township in Edgefield county
attend a meeting which is
hereby called to be held at
The Bank of Edgefield on
May 12, 1917. at IL O'Clock,
to discuss the pig club and
corn club question. The bank
would be pleased to have a
parent attend with the boy
contemplating becoming a
member of these clubs.
Boys, come to the meeting;
it will interest you.
