Union is to have, at an early day,
a first-class bakery. The lease for
five years has already been taken and
Union will soon be able to eat bread
baked at home. We feel sure the en-
terprise will succeed, for our people
will patronize it. This is one of the
things that the Chamber of Commerce
has done under the leadership of Sec
retary Carbery. 1t is by no means
all that has recently been done, but
it shows that we have a wide-awake
man at the head of our organization.
Small enterprises help and help Won
derfully. Sometime ago when the
bakery matter came up in meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce some of
those present expressed the opinion
that it would be impossible to get a
baker to locate in Union at this time,
owing to the strict regulations i'm
posed upon such enterprises by the
Food Administration. That a baker,
and an experienced one, too, could be
secured has been demonstrated. He
has already been located.

Burlap Sacks
Should Be Saved

AS information to the farmers we
are asked to publish the following
letter from Mr.. Coker, of the Council
of Defense, to Mr.. Long, of the Ex-
tension Force:
CDR. w. w. Long,
Clemson College, S. C.
My Dear Doctor
think it would be well for you to
call attention, through the Clemson
journal and also direct, of all your
agents to the great Importance OF
saving all burlap bags on the farm.
have received only one quotation for
cotton sheets this spring, and that
was 95c each, which would mean.
with freight and expenses added, a re-
tail price Of around $10O as against
an average retail price in the past OF
around 25c per sheet.
If the farmers will preserve all fer
tilizer sacks and wash them promptly
they can make out of them a fair
quality cotton sheet at practically no
cost. If they have surplus of bags
they can be easily sold for far more
than new bags were formerly worth.
Yours very truly,

The sale by Hunt Brothers of cattle
and hogs here today was, so far as
we are able to judge, quite a success.
One cow brought 1925. This was one
that gives six to eight gallons of
milk per day. Some cow, that! Three
or four like this one would be quite
enough to run respectable dairy.
