hours of work per day. Just as some

advantages for themselves at the ex-

Vegetables for Canning.

The garden will have a greater
value this year than usual because
of the greater demand for food.
We are concerned with producing
an abundance of foods, not only
for present needs, but for future
emergencies.
The garden should do more than
supply the table with fresh veeeta-
bles in season; it should produce
vegetables to can for winter.

mato plants do not forget the can

popu.~r as product to can. Corn
can be saved in cans. 1t requires
vigorous steamlng and cooking to
save sweet corn, but farmers do
and find it worth while.
Tomatoes are perhaps the most
popular vegetable for home can
ming. 1t is served in many diff

Every home should have an abun-

Sweet potatoes are not very diff

Daylight Saving.

At last the daylight saving bill
has been passed by Congress and
now goes to the President for his
signature. His approval will mean
that on the last Sunday in March.
or two weeks from tomorrow, all
the clocks in the land will be set
forward one hour, at a. M, being
set back again on the last Sunday in
October. For the seven months
when the days are long every one
will begin the working day one
hour earlier than they have been in
the habit of doing, closing their la
bors an hour sooner, or while the
sun is still shining, and thus, by
using the night for rest. effecting a
great economy in the use of artifi-
cial lights.
Of course it is easy to say that
anybody who wants to get up and
begin work sooner could do it with.
out an Act of Congress; but the
fact is that most people are disin-
clined to quit their beds in the
morning until they are compelled to
do SO. The value of the daylight
saving plan is that it automatically
forces business Of all sorts to take
an earlier start. Our whole scheme
of marking the time is purely ar
tifcial one, and what is now being
done is to recognize practically and
sweepingly the difference between
winter, when the time between suu-
rise and sunset is short and summer
when it is long.
The plan has been in operation
from the beginning of the war in
all the warning countries of Europe.

Smiles With Thrift.

In every smile there is a good
stiff punch. There is nothing in a
crouch but waste. Waste breaks
down instead of building up the
country, and nothing should be
encouraged except that which
builds.
In al walks of life there should
be practiced an economy which
conserves yet does not weaken. In
the administration of the public af-
fairs of our state every dollar nee
essary to public service, intelli-
gently and economically admins
tered, should be provided, but not
one penny for purposes unnecessary.
Needless expenditures drain the
peoples substance In this hour Of
our country's need our public off,
cials should take prompt action
looking to the elimination of eve,
ry condition or influence operating
against highest efficiency, whether
it be of man-power, food-power OF
other of the states resources.
We who remain at home have a
task to do, much less exacting than
have the boys in the trenches, it is
true, but no less important nor i'm
perative. If we are sincere we will
chance nothing upon waste, an in
sidious, enemy at home, while oul
country needs our full strength

To the Farmers
of Edgefeld
County

We are Jobson System dealers
for this county, and as such are ac-
lively engaged in bringing the COM
mon sense methods. of easier and
more profitable farming to every
nook and corner of our section.
These methods and the remarka-
BILE Jobson plow have received the
endorsement of great Agricultur-
lists, State officials and practical
farmers ali over the country, and
these benefits are being extended to
all parts of the country at a rate
that certainly proves its merit and
genuine, practical advantage. No
farmer can afford to overlook the
opportunity of thorough investi-
CATION of this system before going
further with his spring work.
The Jobson plow has no equal in
preparing the land (late or early,
wet or dry) before planting, and it
lis also of extraordinary value in
working crops and in getting ready
for second crops. In fact, it Is
something the farmer needs every
month in the year. A little investi.
CATION demonstrates this beyond
doubt.

particulars. We're here to serve
