RELIEF WORK

Mrs. Il. II. Bowser of Shelby
County, chairman womeu's divis-
ion, held in Memphis a successful
flower sale in which she netted
$4,000. Mrs. Horace Smith, State
director of the womans division,
suggests that regular and sys-
tematic sale of flowers be con-
Quoted during the whole season.
The gorgeous gardens of Tennes-
see are a comparatively unused
gold mine.
If some of the war organizations
called themselves together and
sold flowers regularly aud system
atlcaliy some of the gold could, by
a heavenly alchemy, be transmitted
into bread, and bread means life 10
thousands of helpless, homeless,
shivering, dying children.
Gardeners would be glad and
thankful to use their flowers in
this way, aud people would be glad
to buy them, both for the 10Y of
giving and the JOY of possessing
the flowers.
1t will soon be peony time, and
truly these are flowers that are ir-
resistible One lady sold over $40
worth of Glove pinks, during the
season, for the Red Cross.
These little things remind one of
the fable of the dying father who
told his sons that they would find
gold behind the barn if they dug
assidously. They dug and planted
carrots. and soou realized the gold.

AROUND TOWN
..BY OBSERVER.

N sssDt Ob2ENNINs ~
What Camden needs most now
ls men who are not afraid to spend
their money in the way of building
houses. We need homes for the
people who are anxious to come to
Camden in the fall. The Board of
Education assure MS that we are
going to have another good school
next year, and what we stand in
argent need of are more dwelling
houses to accommodate those who
want to come to town in order to
put their children in school. From
an educational standpoint Camden
is coming fast. 1t behooves us as
people to get up behind the
Board of Education and impress
them with the fact that We are
deeply concerned about maintain
ing good school here all the time.
Let us back up the board, men, and
they will feel like doing something.
Are you making a garden? Put
in a fine garden and in this way cut
the cost of living. You will thus
save money for other purposes as
we'll as supply your table with fresh
vegetables when needed. We are
getting too extravagant as people.
Many OF Us take trips on the rail-
road that are unnecessary we buy
many things we could do without,
and some of US throw it away, so to
speak, by buying trash. The best
advice we can offer is, remain at
home; work, save and let's be an
independent people. Lets try it
for year. What do you say? 1t
is not so much what you earn as
what you spend that counts.
Now that spring is here, why not
form a new resolution and 90 to
Sunday school and church? Ask
yourself the question, am | doing
what the Lord requires of me in
this respect? Are you a member
of the church? Did you not take
vow that you would support the
church and it's institutions IN many
ways? Are you doing it? boy
want to succeed in life? You do?
Then support the church and its
institutions, and all will be we'll
not only in this life, bat in the life
to come.
