PERSONAL ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES WW VALENTINE PARTY. A valentine party was given at the school house Friday evening to raise funds to pay for the piano. An enjoyable program had been arranged, the opening num-of which was the National Anthem, rendered by Miss Ethel Kimbrough as a piano solo. Miss Kimbrough also favored the audience with a number of the latest "hits" in war music, being repeatedly encored. Delightful readings were given by Miss Annette Piza and Mrs.

A. A. Dunn, which were much enjoyed and heartily applauded. Songs by Ben Gilder George and James Emmet George, and local jokes by Aubrey Miller and Tames Emmet George also made big hits. After theconclusion of the program, "Fortunes" were told at five cents each, a "post office" was opened at which valentines were mailed, and finally a handsome cake was put up as a prize for the most beautiful and popular young lady present, selection to be made by voting at lc.

per vote. Several entries were made, but the contest speedily narrowed to two leaders, Miss Margaret Canterbury, an attractive member of the younger set, and Miss Ada Maye White, the popular principal of the Linden school. Voting for these was fast and furious for a time, but at the closing minute MiSs Canterbury held a lead that awarded her the palm of most beautitul. The cake brought over $20.00 and with the other receipts of the evening, totalled a substantial sum toward paying off the indebtedness on th piano. Messrs.

On the use of good common sense in out 1918 farm and garden operations depends prosperity or our "going broke." Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from suddIt merchant on credit and make money. Food and grain is higher in proportion than are present cotton prices. It's a time above all others to play safe: to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.

A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay nearly half your living. It will save you more money than yon made on the best three acres of cotton you ever grew! Hastings' 1918 Seed Eook tells all about the right kind of a money sav ing garden and the vegetables to put In It It tells about the farm crops as well and shows you the clear road to real and regular farm prosperity.
