Without a doubt you have heard it said "There are just ag mean people In the church and Sunday school ag there are outside," and it is true that there are gome unworthy people in these organiza tions as all others. But just because one) dislikes another person who attend church in no reason for staying away from Hervices. You don't throw away a purse of money just because one or two pieces are counterfeit. So the wise boy or girl will go to Sun day school and get the companionship of the best boys and girls of the neighbor hood even if they do meet some people "no better than those who never attend church." e, ' " uu snare.

PEARL JONES (Age 12). War Ssi c2 What the Farm Clubs Did on Field Day (Boys' $1 Prize Letter) T- HE boys' and girls' clubs took a big part in Union County Field Day. The clubs were under the direction of our farm demon strator, and home demonstrators Mr. A. B. Carwile and Miss Alsie Smith and Miss Mamie Oetzel. i - X'ncle Sam and Miss Columbia led the army. The corn club boys formed the first company, carrying the flag, rakes, hoes and posters telling. of their work. The second company was the bread club girls who sang the conservation song: (Tune: My Old Kentucky Home). The sun shines bright on my conservation Plat, 'Tis autumn, no one will gainsay. We have cut out sweets and eliminated fat, And our meals are only two a day. The young folks dine on conservation pie, Bereft of coffee, cake and meat, And our bread is made of barley or rye, And nobody uses wheat. CHORUS Wheat no more, my lady, ' N 2' wheat no more this year. For we'll sing one song for ow Conser vation plan, Till we make the German Huh disappear.

I told mother that I was going to make a playhouse. This is how I did it: First, I planted butter beans in a circle. When they came up I found that they were' the bush kind, bo I made a smaller circle in side the first one, and in this I planted run ning butter beans and morning glories. When they began to run I set up a pole about five feet high In the center of the ring. Then I took strips the same length and putting one end against the poles, rested the other on the ground, near the vines. The vines have not covered it yet but will soon do so. In front of the circle I put flowers. LOUISE THOMAS (Age 9). Mississippi Girl Likes the Farm J LIVE on a farm and think farm life is the best for all. I am eleven years old and have two sisters and three brothers. My oldest brother is doing his bit by serving Uncle Sam. He is at a naval supply base irt France and ha been there seven months. My father has one mule and one horse, ten head of cattle, and eleven Hampshire hogs. Mother and my sisters have about one hun dred White LeghonTbiddies and mother has about 50' grown ones, r hatfe joined th poultry club and have ten White Wyahdotte chickens, lOlfA COVINGTON. Chimney Swift and Wood Thrush IpHB sooty little chimney swift is an ex pert awd seemingly tireless flyer as he cir cles, dives and darts about an old chimney, constantly uttering its twittering notes. They originally nested ln hollow trees, but now they prefer old or unused chimneys, in which they build their nest, a frail structure of sticks and twigs glued together with a sticky saliva from the bird's mouth. The nest is also glued to the wall of the chimney with the saliva. They lay from two to five long, narrow, white eggs. Their nest -often breaks loose and falls down the chimney with the eggs or young. Their food consists of small insects which they catch and devour while flying. Wood Thrush. The Woodthrush is easily identified by its reddish brown back and head and white breast heavily spotted with black. It is slightly larger than the other thrushes, about jiine inches long, and is one of our sweetest singers. They are found in pine woods, usually near some damp bottom, where they spend most of their time on or near the ground hunting; for worms, bugs, etc. The woodthrush is a very quiet bird, save for an occasional liquid "quirt"", until the late evening, when it quits eatingrinounts some low bush and sends forth its clear flute like whistle covering many notes of the scale. Frequently two or three birds in different parts oi the wood call back and forth. They seem tor like to sing best in the late evening after a cool summer shower ha passed, and their songs are then to me the most entrancing; of all birds'. Their nest of grass, leaves and mud i placed on some limb or fork a few feet above the ground. , J. C. JOJlES. The entire state of South Carolina will be freed December 1 from quarantine against the cattle fever tick, it is believed by offi cials of the tick-eradication division -of the Bureau of Animal Industry.

That's the day we tell. Uncle Sam just how hard we want to win this war. That's the day our government has officially set for us to purchase War Savings Stamps. On June 28th every man, woman and child in the United States will be called upon to pledge his or her full quota of War Savings Stamps pur chases for 1918. You will be expected to pledge the full amount that you can afford no more but by the same token, no less. In every state, county, city, town and village the War Savings Committees are preparing for this big patriotic rally of June 28th. Unless you have already bought War Savings Stamps to the $1,000 limit, get busy with paper and pencil and figure out the utmost you can do. Remember this. You take no chances when you go the limit on War Savings Stamps. They are the best and safest investment in the world. They pay you 4 interest compounded-quarterly. They can't go below par. You can get back every dollar you put into War Savings Stamps any time you need it. You can turn them in at the Post Office any time for their full value plus interest. 7 ISSUED Br THE UNITED STATES COVERNMENT Uncle Sam is asking hundreds of thousands of men to give their lives to their country.
