ON THE RAPPAHANN0CK

The following lines were written by
Mrs. B. E. Wasson, of Norfolk, Va.
She visited our section last summer in
the interest of the Woman's Missionary
Society of the Christian church anc
was so much impressed with the beauty
of the Rappahannock she has expressed
her admiration in verse:
0, beautiful beyond compare,
Transcendent are these scenes so fair
Yea, fairer than arts canvas rare,
For by Gods hand they are painted
there,
On the Rappahannock
As Ger the waters, smooth and calm,
So peacefully we glide along,
Our grateful hearts indite a psalm
OF praise to God for Heavenly balm,
On the Rappahannock.
Soft zephyr breezes blow the while,
Sweet scented as from Ceylon's Isle,
Seductive as a sirens smile,
Cool, shady banks would man beguile,
On the Rappahannock
Green fields, where hardy sons of toll
Life giving grains wrest from the soil,
Would call us from the worlds turmoil,
From earthly dross our souls recoil,
On the Rappahannock
Fair garden spots on every hand,
Hamlets, green trees and vistas grand,
More fair than Eden is this land,
For mans delight by nature planned,
On the Rappahannock.
Pavilioned in the foliage green,
While cottages enhance the scene,
Amidst the trees their red roofs gleam,
Enchanting as Arcadia's dream,
On the Rappahannock.

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what tre
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
Ing farm hands. Give them plenty
Of Quaker Oats. A big dish Of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive IA
tigue. There Is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found In other
foods, and for economy It is at the
head Of the list To meet needs OF
those in different climates Quaker
Oats is packed in regular size pack
ages and hermetically sealed tins;
the latter for hot climates. 5
