the suggestion is worth consideration.
The average clerk in the average
store does not today earn sufficient
salary to warrant his employing high
priced labor to grow garden for
him Don't think for one minute that
the plowman and the gardener may
have overlooked the fact that higher
salaries are prevailing, because that Is
not the case. They are receiving bet
ter pay, just as the remainder of the
population is receiving it, and it is
nothing but right and proper that
they should, since they would not be
able to make an honest living if theF
did not. but at the same time, since
the cost Of having a garden plowed
has increased, since the cost of the
seed has increased, since the cost Of
the planting has increased. and since
the cost of securing labor to work
this garden has gone out Of sight,
there can be little honest criticism
offered of the average man working
in A mercantile or industrial estaS-
lishment for failing to have a garden
unless he has time enough to devote
to the undertaking. If he is given an
hour each day in which to work his
garden. he can almost produce
enough to feed his family, if not
more. and thereby effect a decided
saving, but if it becomes necessary
for him to hire all the labor for this
undertaking, the proposition will bs
more expensive than if he had gone
without it.

plans for the Newberry War Service
Garden Campaign. The aim of this
campa'on is to aid orr states greater

decided to make house to house can

to lend heloing hand in this il
creased production of food, by having
a en"den large or small. or even

every family will enlist as a memher
for it is only through cooperation
that Newberry will lead the other ten
cities N this State in the number OF
gardens enlisted in proportion to the
fanfii'es. The names OF members III
the different wards of the city will be
plbiehed in the county papers.
At this meeting Miss Minnie G:st
was elected secretary. 1t was also
decided to nod monthly meetings of
the clnb-tne first Thursday being
selected. At these meetings garden
r~ohlems and ether things perta n
ing to the club will be discussed. and
these meetings will certainly prove Of
great benefit to the gardener.
