SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The lola Township Sunday School
convention which was held Thurs
day and Friday of last week at the U.
B. church was not voted so successful
in some points as that held last year
for the reason that an effort at an or
ganized music class was failure, but
not so was the vigor and devotion
that prompted nearly every indi-
vidual worker whose name was an
nounced to take part and many others
who attended and entered into the
discussions.
The first session was addressed by
Rev. Faust of lola, and Rev. McQues-
ton of Humboldt, in helpful and
thoughtful discourses on vital ques-
tions.
Fridays forenoon session was es-
pecially much enjoyed by those pres
ent in that of the eight workers whose
names were announced none failed to
respond in carefully prepared and
timely paper earnest talk on the
subject assigned bringing out inter
esting thought and profitable sug-
gestIons.
Rev. and Mrs. Gramley of La
Harpe and Rev. and Mrs. Rease of
Moran came in during the morning
session.
Friday afternoon was occupied in
part by very acceptable papers by
Mrs. Reace of Moran and Miss May
Woodin while the Question Box
furnished topics for lively and we
trust profitable discussions. Two

GERTRUDE BARTON,

A great many EndeavOrers look
upon the social committee as of minor
Importance to the society, and social
committees not unfrequently share in
this belief They are apt to regard
themselves as mere money making
machines, or as the means through
which the mem bers of the society
may occasionally get together for a
social time.
These ideas however are but side
issues to the real purpose of the COM
mittee. The main duty of the social
committee is to join the society to the
people outside of its reach and to
bring them within its influence.
All the entertainments, therefore,
should be planned with this end in
view. They can be used in adding
to the funds of the society if neces-
sary, and the pleasure of the indi-
vidual members must not be over
looked, but the committee must not
neglect to bring the young people in
closer contact with Jesus Christ
through His EndeavOrers.
In earning money by entertain
ments the committee should always
be careful and not let the society de-
pend entirely upon its efforts. Part
of the work of the EndeavOr Society
is to educate its members to give
systematically from their own earn
ings. A too energetic committee Is
ant to retard the growth of this habit
until it Is too late. But in a society
where there are few wage earners, ii
becomes Necessary to raise funds from
some other source, and it is here that
the social committee can make itseli
useful.
In preparing for an entertainment
the committee should bear two things
in mind, 1st that it has right tC
make all reasonable demands on Other
members of the society, End thai
the character of the entertainment
must not be opposed to the character
of the Endeavor Society. The first
must be remembered because every
one in the society must realize thai
this part of what Christ would have
him do, and the second is necessary
because the society should do nothing
that be detrimental to His work.

HENRY wArrERsoN,s LECTURE.

1t is settled that Mr.. WattersOn
will be here on June 10 for his lecture
upon Abraham Lincoln. There
seems now a reasonable prospect that
the Opera House will be filed that
night. This note is made in order
that it may be the privilege of lola
people to fill it most largely. But a
limited number of tickets can be sold
and orders from outside lola are al
ready coming in. If more of our
home people want tickets they need
to speak early.
The board for reserving seats will
be open to the general public on and
after May 20. The guarantors who
engaged the first 21O tickets will have
access to the board at p. M, on Fri
day, May %.
Tickets can be obtained from the
undersigned at any time.

Cry for Bread' found in the Golden
Rule of April 18th, another reading
the sketch Famine at Short Range"
by Francis E. Clark, published in the
Golden Rule A pril Doth. Have some
bright Endeavorer give short talk
on the relief work already done by
our country, material for this talk
can be found in the Christian Her

SULPHUR AND MOLASSES.

When I was young they had way
Of keeping all disease at bay,
And rend'ring changing OF the Spring
As innocent as anything,
Just as the soul was waking up,
And out peeped slyly little grasses,
Why, mother'd give us all dose
OF sulphur and molasses.
1 see it now, that pewter spoon
That always got Leaped up too soon,
Half sulphur, almost bright as gold,
And half molasses, black and old;
And then we children, one by one,
Would open mouth with many passes,
And down our outlets swift would 60
That sulphur and molasses.
They said 1t kept the chills away,
Prevented bilious feyer's sway,
Would make the liver jump and get,
And keep the blood out OF fret;
Would make the stomach feel at ease,
Free of poison-laden gases;
Was cooling, healing, soothing, all
This sulphur and molasses.
I tell you, it was bad to take,
And awful faces we did make,
But 'twan't no use to beg and cry
That was the law when Spring came by.
To put the system in good trim,
Instead OF pills and other masses,
Our mother gave us llb'rally
OF sulphur and molasses.

Crossing Cattle with Buffalo.

Charles Goodnight, an old Col
oradoan, now living at Clarendon,
Tex, has been experimenting for
seventeen years IN crossing the
American buffalo on the various
breeds of domestic cattle, with the
object in view of producing hides
that would make merchantable buff
falo robes, and incidentally of per-
petuating the buffa 10 species, which
has been almost extinguished. Mr..
Goodnight began his experiment by
capturing four buffalo calves in
May, 1879, and now has "a herd OF
thirty six pure blood buffaloes. The
cross breeding has shown some very
curious results. Mr. Goodnight has
never succeeded in crossing the buf-
falo on any breed of cattle save the
native Texas COW, the Galloway and
the Polled Angus. The half-breeds
from Galloway COWS are hornless,
which shows the prepotency Of the
Galloway blood. But this cross
has proved very uncertain and
therefore expensive. The cross on
the Polled Angus has proved alto
gether the most satisfactory The
half-breeds are all heifers, and those
OF this cross will breed every year,
while the full-blood buffalo COWS
breed only every second year. There
has never been bull calf from the
first cross. When the half-bree
cows are mated with full-blood
buffalo bull. bull calves often result,
but every three-quarters bull thus
obtained has proved barren, Though
the three-quarters heifers breed
readily. Thus it will be seen that
as no half-breed bulls have been
obtained and all three-quarters bulls
are infertile, no hybrid breed capa-

Young orchards often need ad-
ditional fertility.
Be on the lookout for the leaf
eating caterpillar
Ia pruning cut out all weak and
crowded branches.
There is little danger OF injuring
an orchard by manuring.
To secure the best grapes more
or less thinning is necessary.
Keep good lookout for tent
caterpillar during the summer.
Pulling off vine leaves to let in
sun and air is al injury to the vine.
The more healthy leaves a plant
has the better the fruit will color
All pruning cuts made at this
time should be covered with oil or
wax.
Tobacco water will destroy worms
and bugs on rose bushes. Spray
it on.
Starvation and neglect are the
great causes OF unfruitfulness with
fruits.
Too large and too thick heads on
the fruit trees should always be
avoided.
If the fruit tree is heavily laden
with fruit, thin it out before it
breaks the tree down.
The secret of growing extra fine
Strawberries is to cut off the run
ners as soon as they appear.
Protection from too much sun is
always an advantage with currants,
gooseberries and raspberries.
Weeds and suckers should be
kept down between the rows of
raspberries and black berries.
You can crowd fruit trees and
plants only at the risk of getting
reduced crops of inferior fruit.

Fruit trees that have been grated
need to be looked after to see that
the stock does not make shoots.
Surround the home with fruit
and flowers. 1t will help in shap-
ing and refining the minds of the
children.
When the peach tree is making
spindling growth of twigs and
limbs, it is a good indication that
the soil lacks.
With a young orchard at this
time, it will be a good plan to stop
cultivation and mulch carefully,
leaving the soil in good condition.
Three or four strong canes to one
hill of raspberries are better than
dozen weak, spindling ones. Thin
outnow and stop Unnecessary growth.
Thriftier aud stockier raspberry
and black berry plants will be Sc
cured if the growing plants are
kept pinched back during the
summer.
If the strawberry plants are to be
set out in August, the better plan
is to pillow the ground now, at the
the first opportunity, before it gets
too hard.
On the farm fruit should be u
necessity rather than a luxury, as
it is often considered in towns.
More fruit and less bacon will give
better health.
When the largest profit is made
from fruit growing for market,
special varieties are grown for
special markets. Study your mar
ket before deciding on varieties.
