COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMITTEE OF HOUSE
KEEPERS WITH REGAR 70 GARDENS.

Some suggestions about a garden which we hope will help the citizens
Of Greenwood, to make s1NO do the work of $500, a thing which we all
need to do.
The large majority Of or citizens buy all the. vegetables they use.
They think they have n o garden-spot SC why try to raise vegetables? Adopt
these suggestions as to a garden in your back yard and even in your front
yard bordering each bed with a o of Aowers-annuAs-and see what a
pleasing effect it will have. ar
Get your children interested because we have decided to offer a lot of
prizes to the children who raise vegetables, and watch this space next week
for a list of these prizes. Get your ground ready now and then you can
plant your seed quickly when the time comes. We hope to have a Commun-
hy Day next fall when the prizes ar to be awarded and all feel proud of
ourselves to have with a little forethought and extra work produced at
home most Of the things to eat during the hot weather.
The following are clippings W have u across to help u all with this
work:
A GARDEN WELL PLANNED SAVES TIME AND MONEY.
Numerous letters are received every day by the authorities of the X
tension division Of the University of Arkansas for helpful hints in making
a home garden, and garden calendars are supplied free of charge upon
Gardens veil planned save time and money. Wherever necessary the garden
should be fenced end a sufficient size to permit cutivating it with a horse.
Vegetables planted at approximately the same time should be put in rows
near each other SO that there will not be a great many different kinds of
work commanding attention at any n time.
The garden should be located As near as possible to- the house, not only
because the work is done at odd timese, but because the housewife should
be able to get into it easily and without inconvenience Since gardens are
put in or restricted areas, most any kind Of soil can be built up in good shape;
however, every garden must be we'll drained to get the best results. If it is
impossible to use tile, small open bitches to carry off water should be pro-
vided and these should be kept clean throughout the season.
With the present price of foodstufs, all garden truck raised for home
consumption will be valuable this year Vegetables car easily be made to
replace in a large degree staples and other high priced food products which
folks have had to buy during the winter season.
School children should be encouraged to have a garden. This will keep
them busy during the summer months, and if they IRE allowed fair returns
for their work, they will not only help the family considerably, but they will
not be wasting their time during their vacation.

About the only excuse Charles

that the owner Of the pOolrOom and

NORTHCLIFFE PRAISES WILSON
WAR SPEECH.
BY Lord NorthcIiffe.
London, April 81 have taken a
few hours to collect the opinions of
members Of both houses Of parlia-
ment and many Of the general pub

Experts in craftsmanship regard
the presidents speech as likely to
rank with the most notable utter
ances Of Washington and Lincoln. Its
dignity, restraint and insight are con-
sidered absolutely worthy Of the
chief of hundred million of the re-
pUblc's citizens at this tremendous
moment.
The joining with the allies by the
United States is especially welcomed
by Englishmen who are fighting side
by side with the heroic French.
We regard the coming in Of Uncle
Sam as the help of another big broth

sian bully.

VETERANS AT WASHINGTON.

The Confederate Veterans. their
sons and daughters. su.'elv never had
a finer setting for their annual meet
ting than is afforded by the capital
city Of the nation, at this time aflame
and astir with the patriotic enthu-
siasm attending our country's latest
crisis
This is the first time the annual
Confederate reunion has been held
outside the strictly Southern States.
1t is another evidence that the sec
tional line has been entirely oblit-
Grated.
Brunswick is proud of the splendid
representation it sends to Washing
ton for this reunion. This city and,
in fact, all of Georgia, will be, favor
ably conspicuous in the proceedings
and parades
The few surviving soldiers of the
south are fully as patriotic and as
devoted to their country now as they
were to their cause in the sixties.
They are as willing to fight for the
country now as any of the younger
men. Age and infirmity, however,
make their active participation in the
present war impossible, but they will
be found encouraging and inspiring
those who are able to take part and
Installing the sublime truths Of Am
erican his .ory and achievement into
the minds and hearts of the young.
The presence of these old soldiers in
the national capital will prove of dis
tinct value in encouraging the whole
country to a more consecrated deVo
ton to the flag and the nation in
the struggle upon which we have
now embarked.

A DAY TO LIVE IN HISTORY.

June 9Th will live in history.
1t will be remembered as the day
when 100000 young men, the flow
er of the country's active citizenship,
enrolled their names as prospective
soldiers of the United States, to sup
port the nations cause wherever and
however called to do so.
Out of this 100000 will be chosen
the most fit, the sturdiest and the
strongest. to make up the new army
of the republic, which. if it be found
necessary, will so forth from train
ing camp to transport. crossing the
sea to uphold the American flag on
the battlefields of Europe.
It is prideful privilege-this
standing as a candidate for glorious
duty, this readiness to qualify for
the most eAdlteu poSl d hieii '
fill-that of soldier Of his country.
We find it almost impossible to
conceive of the narrowness OF spirit,
of the httleness of soul, which would
prompt an American citizen to seek
to avoid the duty of the day.
Surely, there is little, if any, such
sentiment in this Land of the Free
and Home Of the Brave. -
No man has ever in his lifetime
been privileged to sign his name in
nobler cause or for a higher pur-
lposc than those young men who went
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1917-06-07

to their voting places and offered
their services to the United States.
1t is the sincere regret of those
other millions of American men, too
old to be included in this glorious op-'
portunity, that they could not go with
these younger ones upon this imper-
ishable Roll of Honor-but they must
be content to serve in other ways
The ten million cards which were
signed Tuesday will be notice to the
world that the United States, long
blessed with peace, responded read
lily to the call for war-notice to the
imperious enemy that his continued
offenses have aroused the giant of the
west and that the descendants of
those heroes who first gave free gov
eminent to the world are preparing
to form into squad and company and
battalion and regiment and division,
merging into a mighty army Of free
dom which shall move in its majesty
to overthrow tyranny in its last
and to forever Danish au-
tocracy and militarism and blood-lust
from this earth.
To all this June 5, 1917 is dedi-
Gated.
1t was a day that will live in his
tory! 4

1t is to be regretted that there
should be a strike on at one of the
local plants. Strikes are, at the very
best, the poorest way to adjust diff
ferences. They are arbitrary and
high handed, and, as a general rule,
leave scars that make for anything
but harmony for the future. In the
case under discussions, we. are quite
sure that there has been some 5misun-
derstanding; that some mischief-mak-

Just a few drops loosen any corn

You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give me quarter of an ounce

but is sufficient to remove every hard

A few drops applied directly upon a

soreness instanctly, and soon the en-
tire corn, root and all can be lifted out
with the fingues without pain.

ether compound discovered by Gin

PRo-GERMAN SOCIALIST SPLIT.

Upton Sinclair, the novelist and so
| cialist, has been doing his bit very
| effectually in revealing the plots
which have been laid for a reign OF
terror throughout the country by the
anti-conscriptioists, as soon as the
CONSUMPTION law becomes effective,
says the Savannah Press.
1t appears that a certain element
among the socialists are blinded, or
dominated, by leaders whose sympa-
thies and influence are fully engaged
with the enemy of the United States.
Naturally, earnest workers for an
ever broadening democracy such as
and principles of this country with
delight. but it appears that all social
lists are not democrats; or, at least
many of them are merely destructive,
while many others have leveled their
socialistic convictions before the fet-
ish of the German state. Mr.. Upton
Sinclair declares that since he sent
his cable to the Russian minister OF
war, urging that no separate peace
be contemplated and commencing
President Wilson's splendid stand for
war, a definite and violent split has
come in the American socialist party.
In a word, the Americanism of the
party has affronted that element in
it which is German and those mis-
guided followers who deceive them
selves with the notion that resisting
CONSUMPTION is a fight for socialistic
principles. Mr.. Sinclair and friends
OF his in the socialist party, who see
in the attitude of this country the
greatest stride toward the progress
of democracy which has ever been
taken, are reviIed by the socialists
of the Emma Goldman pattern and
threatened with assassination. He is
said to have given information to the
government that Miss Goldman has
written him limiting that a condition
near to civil war may be expected
when the anti-conscription rioting be-
gins Be all this as it may. it is GER
tain that active and prompt steps
have been taken to show those who
are planning to evade the law of the
land and those who are rash enough
to speak REASONABLY, that resistance
and contempt of the law will meet
with prompt punishment.
The No-Conscription League has,
no doubt, its sincere followers, who
truly believe that the evils of national
greed and brutality can be overcome
by permitting those who are suffi-
GENTLY determined and ruthless to
have their way, but such befogged
and deluded individuals are merely
the tools of others who see clearly
and definitely and are working clearly
and definitely for the aid and comfort
of the enemy. In war times there
are abundant means of dealing with
such traitorous movements and the
agitators and trouble makers who
persistently abuse the leniency and
indulgence accorded them in times
of peace will soon learn that in times
of war those who are against the gov
eminent are counted to be with the
enemy.
