THE TIME TO BUY A N

Land is cheaper today than it will
be again. Because of the war and
unsettled conditions. along with the
scarcity of labor, people are slow to
purchase, though there is evidence
of increasing activity in real estate
circles.
There is more money in the coun-
try now than at any time within fifty
years. People are able to purchase
lands today when they have never
been before. A mar who has rented
lands all these years may today buy
and make a sufficient payment to get
a start towards owning a home.
Because of the two facts stated
every man who is renting should
launch a campaign to. own his own
home. With the constantly increas-
ing prices of lands, rent sooner or
later must be advanced, and the rem
ter will find it harder to get along.
Today opportunity offers; tomor-
row it may not.

THE FOOD

The war has drawn from agricul-
tural pursuits in the lands of the
allies millions of men. Millions of
individuals who looked to the farms
for employment and utsistence can
look there no longer. Even in ordi-
nary times, England and France
must look to America for bread.
They import in ordinary times ne
third of their grain. Now in time
of wal they must import a great
deal more, and they look to America
for this additional amount, as well
as for butter and meat and other
supplies.
America can furnish all that our
allies ask and all that our own
armies in France need only by pre-
pairing to do so. And we can pre-
pare only by avoiding waste and by
saving. Food, they tell US, will win
the war, and no doubt it is as i'm
portant to strengthen the bread line
lust now as it is to strengthen the

ALMOST A WHEATLESS DAY

Mr.. ]. H. Greene of Gilgal, be-
lieves in Hooverizing. On last Sun
da yhis children came to spend the
day. His two daughters, Mrs. Harve
Cochran and Mrs. ~Thompkins Ramey
cooked the dinner. When it was
about ready to serve Mr.. and Mrs.
J. B. Greene and little son of
Anderson, came in unexpectedly
and also Herman Greene (who can
eat ten and twelve biscuits without
winking.) There was not enough
bread to go around. Instead of max
ing up more biscuits they decided to
be patriotic and serve the dinner in
relays with Mrs. Cochran and Mrs.
Ramey and the children waiting for
the second go round. Of course if
Herman hadn't come home there
would have been a plenty to put
away several biscuits for the next
day, but as it was the second relay
had no bread.

Greenwood Journal


The Press and Banner announces
that it will begin, in the near future,
the publication of a semi-weekly. We
congratulate our neighbor upon this
advanced step. The Press and Ban
ner has improved wonderfully under
its present management and ranks
among the very best papers of the
state. We expect it to get better as
the days ONE and go. 1t has splen-
did advertising which shows that the
business men of Abbeville appreciate
the service that it is giving them.
We are in thorough agreement
with The Press and Banner in the
of not carrying on its subscrip-
ton list the names of persons who
do not pay for the subscriptions in
advance. 1t is the only way to
run a newspaper successfully. It not
only saves a lot of bad accounts, but
the general public appreciates g pa
per a great deal more that has indie
pendence enough to demand its

BOY SCOUTS WILL AGAIN
CANVAS FOR LIBERTY BOND

President Wilson will present an
American flag, appropriately in
siribed, to the troop of Boy Scouts
in each State securing the largest
number of subscriptions to the Sc
cond Liberty Loan during the four
day campaign, which the organiza-
ton will inaugurate on October %.
The Boy Scouts of America Sc
cured subscriptions aggregating $685.
238,250 from 139,645 homes in the
first campaign, and with the expert
ence thus gained and a more perfect
organization, they hope to double
this record for the Second Loan.
