SAVING A HALF
BILLION DOLLARS

The Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes
E. B. Allen, president of the Adams
Bag Co., as it's authority, for the
statement that $500,00O,000 could
be saved yearly by the housewives Of
America, by the home baking Of
bread.
For $3.50, the price of four quar-
ter-barrel paper sacks of Ohio-made
-four, says Mr.. Allen, plus the cost
of milk, sugar, salt, yeast, fuel and
labor, the frugal housewife can pro-
duce 1879 one-and-one-half pound
loaves of bread. The average price of
such loaves thruout Ohio is probably
around 1919 cents, or $19.S5 for
what can be produced for $3.50, plus
seasoning, fuel and 'elbow-grease.'
The figures suggest other angles
that are interesting.
If $40 or any considerable part of
it, can be saved in the home baking
of single barrel of -four, in the cost
of the bread alone, what is the total
of the economies thus effected. 1t
is admitted that homemade bread
is appetizing and it has long been
recognized as the best and healthiest
food available. If its appetizing and
satisfying quality results in the use
of ten per cent more bread in each
home in the State, what is the saw
ing thus brought about by the re-
duced demand for higher prcied food
stuffs?
And still more interesting, if each
family would thus use one additional
barrel of homemade -four during
1922, what would the aggregate be,
in dollars and cents, to the farmers
and what would the re-distributed
wealth, thus created for release,
mean to the general prosperity of the
State?
It is worth thinking about, isn't
it? Please pass the bread,

Democrats of the Eighth Tennes-

upon the happy working out of cir
cumstances which means that after
November they will be represented
in Congress by Capt. Gordon Brown
ing. Capt. Browning has no opposi-
ton for the Democratic nomination.
He should not have had any. Two
years ago, in a magnificent fight, he
won his spurs, and, though he led
the Democratic ticket, the Republi-
can landslide was too much.
Young men of Browning's type
are needed in Congress. He led a
Memphis battery in France. His rec
ord is as clean as hounds tooth

Browning in the feeling that it was
splendid thing for the Democrats

SUBSIDIES AND BONUSES
FOR EVERYBODY

Frank J. Warne, testifying before
the Railroad Labor Board, advocates
national subsidy for the railroads
to enable them to pay a reasonable
wage" to employees. At the same
time Chairman Lasker of the Ship
ping Board urges Congress to put the
Ship-Subsidy Bill through without
change so that there will be an. at
tractive profit in flying the American
flag on the high seas. But there's no
sense in doing these things by halves.
Every corporation should get sub
sidy, and while bonuses are going
every citizen should get a bonus
Otherwise what's the Treasury De-
partment for and why do we main
tain a Government?
Among all the citizens and corpo-
rations in the United States there
isn't one that doesn't need money at
once for some good reason or other.
The railroads, according to Mr..
Warne, would like to increase wages
"a laudable object, which no prop
erly sympathetic Administration can
ignores BY all means let the rail
roads have what seems necessary for
this purpose, and then if they can
think of further imperative uses for
cash, let them have more. No doubt
they could think of few if they
thought hard. And nobody wants
American shipping to operate at
disadvantage. When shipping COM
panies find it difficult to return a
profit it is the duty of the Govern
ment to make it up to them hand
somely. The bituminous mines too
have been running at loss. Many
individuals are receiving lower
wages than they have always want
I'D, lower in some instances than they
nave asked.
To remedy this unusual and intol- |
srable condition we must have the |
bonus for all citizens the subsidy for
I'll corporations. This is the one way
% put business on it's feet and the
on a firm financial footing.
The Treasury has been locked too
ong; it is our inalienable national
heritage. Probably it contains sew

STRAWBERRY PRODUCTION
GROWING INDUSTRY
IN TENNESSEE

| For several years past Tennessee
has led the entire country in acreage
devoted to strawberries, with Arkan-
sas second. In 1921 Tennessee pro-
duced 941,220 crates from 13,446
acres. The average price received
was $3.50 per crate, the total value
of the crop being $4,517,S55. The
total carload shipment from the State
in 1921 was 2.O92 cars. This large
production with the satisfactory
prices of recent years, has attracted
general attention, and the strawberry
is being planted in many sections, in
1872, which had not previously
grown it commercially. 1t is fair to
assume that the 1922 acreage is the
largest in the history of Tennessee
strawberry growing, according to
Charles A. Keffer, director, Division
of Extension.
In speaking of the growing interest
in the crop Director Keffer stated
recently that where the strawberry
has become well established in farm
operations as in the Humboldt and
Chattanooga districts, the experience
of the growers may be considered as
a guide for future paintings. How
ever" he said, there are districts in
the State where the strawberry has
not been so extensively grown, but
where the adaptability of the region
to this crop has been fully establish
ed, and in these regions there can be
no question as to the advisability of
greatly increased paintings. Any 9th
er section of the State in which the
crop has done we'll should be justi-
fed at this time in increasing its
area.
''It is hardly pos -ible that the high
prices of the past few years will con-
tinue indefinitely. Labor is more
abundant than in the two years fol-
lowing the war. All commodities are
cheaper. The general reduction in
values may be expected to continue
if slowly.
"But the strawberry was grown
at a profit in Tennessee before the |
war advanced prices, and it will
doubtless continue to be an attractive |
crop to Tennessee farmers"

nessee to-day.
Let us have a clean slate in the
election. There will be no way to
undo the wrongs that have been done
in the name Of the State hut to create

A SUCCESSFUL S. c. NEGRO.

If all the colored folks were as in
dustrious and frugal as John Gray,
of Westminster, the country would
be so much better off. John has been
living here since the year 1881, COM
ing when most of the town was a
forest, and everybody knows him.
He makes good crops every year,
makes a good income by laying
brick and doing other work in winter.
John made a fairly good crop of
wheat, considering the "off year"
and the rust. He was not discouraged
because the wheat was short and he
went to work and planted the same
land in corn and peas. So we'll did
he prepare the land the corn did not
"fire" through the drouth and he is
confident he will gather one hundred
bushels. He has picked IA bushels of

THE SIX LYCEUM
COURSE NUMBERS

The answer to the question, what
type of entertainment shall parents
and children see together this win
ter? is found in the six wonderful
numbers of the Lyeeum course held
lt the Milliken Community Build
ing. The Board of Operatives rightly
feel that they have secured the best
six numbers that the Redpath Bu-
reau are Offering this winter and
every number will be well worth the
price of the season ticket. 1t has
been long time since Abbeville has
had as good an opportunity for high
glass, clean entertainment.
The auditorium at the Communi-
ty Building seats comfortably 400
people. This building is steam heated
and clean. Those who have not yet
visited this beautiful building will
welcome the opportunity to do so.
The six numbers of the course are
rs follows:
Friday, Oct. 20.-The Grosjean
Neutrality-suspicious. Co: An enter
tainment company Of rare ability.
Three ladies and two men.
Friday, Nov. 10-The Werno La

SPRING CABBAGE AND LETTUCE

Clemson College.-In order to pro-
duce headed cabbage very early in
the spring it is necessary to sow the
seeds in the open ground in early
October, says Prof. C. C. Newman,
horticulturist, who gives below sug-
gestions on growing spring cabbage.
Transplant the plants to the field
during late December. Set the
plants in rows 80 inches apart and
Is inches apart in the row. In
transplanting the entire stem of the
plant should be covered with soil to
prevent freezing. The Charleston
Wakefield is probably the best varie-
ty for early spring use. The success
sion is good variety to follow the
Charleston Wakefield. In order that
ample plants may be available at
transplanting time in December il
is well to make two or three plant.
/ ings of seed, the first about the last
week in September and the other
two paintings at intervals of about
ten days.
Lettuce for Winter and Spring.
For spring lettuce it will be nee.
essary to SOW the seeds in frames in
October. The first planting should
be made about the first Of October
and the second about ten days later,
The lettuce plants will become estab'
lished before very cold weather and
unless excessively cold weather oc'
ours, the plants will not be injured
They may be transplanted to the
Ifield in January or early February
The Big Boston is one of the best
varieties for this purpose. The I'm
proved Hanson is also a very desir.
liable variety. Both of these sorts
produce large, solid heads of excel
lent quality.
For winter use the lettuce seed
should be planted in cold-frames anc
covered with light canvas during
cold weather in order to keep the
plants growing. Lettuce protected
in this way will produce edible heads
during December and January. II
case of excessively cold weather th'
beds may be covered with heavy
canvas or glass.

MINSTREL SHOW AT
COMMUNITY BUILDING

The Minstrel Show given by the
Comrade Club last Friday evening
was a large success both from the
view point of entertainment and
from the crowded house. over four
hundred people were seated in the
auditorium which is the largest gath
ering of any kind since the new
Community Building was opened
some months ago.
The cast of the play consisted Of
four lady comedians, twenty-five
male comedians and they rendered
a program which held the audience
on the edge of their seats during the
entire two hours of the performance
The jokes and antics of the coined
,ians kept the audience in such a
state of laughter that it was neces-
sary from time to time to halt the
performance until quiet could again
,, be restored. MOI part of the Pro
gram received more favorable COM
ment or was more heartily enjoyed
than the group of tumblers who for
half hour entertained the patrons
with program of ground >tumbling
finishing with the squash pyramid.
All the casts were appropriately
dressed for the occasion Unreal dark
town costumes with the Interloctor
in a dress suit.
