HARMONY AS A CLUB ESSENTIAL
Harmony is not only club essential,
but is the necessary element Of all sue
cesstul living whether in the indivld.
uai, the home, the state or nation. For
It is asked in the sacred writ "How can
two walk together accept they agree?'
Nothing worth while can be accomp.
lished without cooperation, and there
Is little chance OF working together for
good without harmony. If we love
our clubs. we viii shield and protect
It. from knowledge of, or contact with
anything harmful. Only the pure, the
sweet. the helpful, the uplifting, dc
We allOw to come near it.
What we honestly love we seldom
fnjnre.
We all know persons, in club and out
OF them, who go about looking for
sights, who make personal applica-
ton Of every remark or occurrence.
who expect to climb upon their club
into instant prominence and success.
who keep in constant state of ferment
and dissatisfaction.
There is another set in our clubs
who might be called disappointed
AIRS. Gummidges;" the club is not what
they thought it was, they thought it
would. help them SO much. And every
meeting they have yards of aisappoint-
ed feelings to unron because they are
no farther along than when they join ed
and they can't see that we are doing
anything.
Being a member of club will not
bring to you the esired success any
more than being a member of the
church will take you to heaven.
Success, like the kingdom of God, is
within, and you must work it out. A
club is help, if you will work your
self, instead of trying to work the club.
The hope for establishing harmony
among the many, lies in the harmon
izing oneself Harmony begins at
home and if proper beginning is made
it will end we'll.
Where harmony does not reign, let
each one, search their own hearts and
see if you can find anything like preju-
dice. injustice. super.sensitiveness. ir-
ritability and criticism.
If our hearts are calm, we can all
say "peace be still" with effect, and it
in the stiffness that all real growth is

Governor Vardaman's View.
NO SUCCESS WITHOUT THE EDUCA.
TIoN OF THE FARMERS AND PLAN.
TIERS.

Education, not so much organ
ization, is what we need, said Gov.
ernbr James X. Vardaman, of Mis-
sissippi. "The permanent saliva
ton of the cotton crop lies with
the individual farmer and planter,
and not with any association on
earth.
>"There are certain propositions
which seem to me to be absolutely
necessary. They are the PROPOSE
ton to hold cotton until it can be
sold at profit over the cost of
production, the reduction of acre.
oge. the diversi6cation of crops
and the general rendering of cot
ton as q surplus crop, instead of
the sole means of sustenance of 80
many of the children of the soil.
For the carrying out of these pro-
positions the individual farmer
himself must be depended on. We
have got to look to him rather than
through the organization for the
purpose of controlling spot cotton.
There is no doubt that such an or
ganization could he made, and it
might prove Of great temporary
help. But any and all permanent
measures must come from the peo-
pie themselves. Therefore, let us
educate the farmers"

Do Not Suppress . Cough.

When you haye cough do not try to
suppress 1t, but remove the cause. The
cough ia only symptom Of some disease,
and the disease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop Of itself. The
most common cause Of coughing Is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough. and preparations containing
chloroform, opium. ETC.. are used for that
purposes. but they do not cure the cold
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the
other hand does not suppress the cough.
but relieves 1t by removing from the
throat and lungs the mucus which OBJ
structed the breathing. and allaying the
irritation and tickling in the throat. It
also opens the secretions and effectually
and permanently cures the cold as we'll
