A Plea for Children.

In selecting a fiat or an apartment,
where a limited amount of money can
be expended for rent, and where children
must enter into the consideration, 1t is
well to remember that some conveniences
can be sacrificed in order to live near
park or a playground.
Young muscles must stretch themselves.
otherwise they become cramped and the
effervescent child nature is driven in
ward instead of expanding, as 1t should.
in open air and activity. Sometimes 1t
is necessary to live farther out of town
than comfort allows in order to secure
this necessity to the child. Often the
little modern appliances that mean so
much to the housewife must give place
to the playground. but no good mother
considers the sacrifice TOO great when she
looks at the tanned, healthy face and
well developed body of the child who is
allowed the normal pleasures of child
hood.
Work may be calling insistently in the
home, but try to close your ears to the
call and listen instead to the plea OF
your sturdy son or your tiny daughter
with roses in her cheeks. Take them for
a play hour in the park Or at the play
ground. Such innocent recreation is food
for the childish mind and body. There
will be less cause for the doctors phials
every time they play safely and sanely
in the open air.

DOES 1T PAY?

/
A brilliant man, occupying high
position in life, said to friend:
"What does the game of life mean
anyway" What is it for, and does
it pay2'
The game Of life means self-de-
velopment. II means taking the
rough stone, or marble, and chip
ping away at it until you bring
forth the divine statue.
1t means wedding your garden OF
J all noxious plants and unsightly
shrubs, and making IL beautiful
spot to please the eye and rest the
mind.
| All statues and all gardens may
not be the same. We are not all
given marble, nor are we all per-
mitted to cultivate flowers.
| Some of us must use common
stone, or even wood, and we must
cultivate vegetables instead OF
| flowers.
But of that material which is
given to us, we must make the very
best use.
When we begin this life, we re-
ceive exactly that which we have
earned in other incarnations. 1t
depends entirely upon ourselves
what use we make of the materials
given us.
Instead of looking with envy and
! jealousy at our neighbors who have
better material than we on which
to toll, we should utilize every hour
of our lives in making the best use
of our own material. Just as each
railroad train has its own track, so
each mortal is given his own life
path, or rather he has selected his
own life path, by his deeds in the
past, even though he may have for
gotten those deeds.
Imagine the chaos and confusion
which would come if one train
tried to leave its track and jump
over upon that of another, because
that one led into pleasanter seem
cry. Keep to your own track, fol-
low your own headlight, and you
will eventually reach the station
where you belong.
Life pays" when we can look
back across each year and feel
that we have made some progress
in the development OF character.
Life pays" when we realize that
we have tried honestly and unset
flshly to help some one. No matter
if we have failed in that effort, and
the one for whom it was made has
not appreciated our act, the fact
that we have tried means growth
When we stop trying to be help
full, we stop growing. When we
want any reward for our efforts at
helpfulness, even a reward of graf
tude, we may be sure they we're
not wholly unselfish instincts which
guided us.

IS the only right ambition.--Ella

PHILLIPS ADVISES FARMERS.
Commissioner Sends Out Letter DC.
voted to Cotton Culture.

The subject of Commissioner Phil
lips weekly letter to the farmers of
the state this week is: DO Not Plant
Cotton on Poorly Prepared Seed
Bed; DO Not Plant on a High Seed
Bed" and is as follows:
Small yields are due more to a
poorly prepared seed bed than to
anything else. AS a rule we do not
appreciate the value Of deep, thor
oughly pulverized seed bed. In such
a seed bed more plant food is availa-
Bile, moisture is better conserved,
cultivation is easier and more effec-
tive. Ii is better to delay planting a
few days, if necessary, rather than
put seed in a poorly prepared soil.
"A shallow, cloddy soil readily
becomes too wet or too dry. Too
little or too much moisture in the
soil for any length of time will pre-
vent the fullest development of the
plant, since the moisture content of
the soil controls, to great extent,
the crop yield.
The moisture content of the soil
controlled and regulated by the
amount of organic matter in it, by
IS depth and by the fineness of its
Dulverization. If either of these
three conditions is absent, the mois-
ture content cannot be properly
regulated.
Deep fall and winter blowing is
necessary to the preparation of an
deal seed bed, The wet weather
or the past few weeks has delayed
planting. Many farmers will make
the mistake either of blowing their
land too wet or planting on a poor
ly prepared bed. As soon as the
land is dry enough, break it deep
and thoroughly. Harrow or disc
The land thoroughly as soon as pos
sible after breaking. Be sure that
you have deep, thoroughly brok-
en-, well pulverized seed bed before
planting.
We should abandon the custom
OF planting cotton on high beds.
Cultivation is more difficult and less
moisture is conserved on such
beds. But such lands should not
be planted iii cotton until drained.
The higher the bed, the more difli-
'ult the cultivation, and more mois-
.ure lost and he smaller the yield.
We have acquired the high bed
habit. Let's quit it,

then it has been lost to man rs a
ground of salvation.
Now we do not mean to say that
we do not need the Old Testament.
We shall always need it as an in
spiration to faith, a help to devo-
lion, and prophecy of the eternal
reign of peace, but as a basis of
salvation we no longer need it.
There is none other name under
heaven whereby men can be saved
other than. the name Jesus. II is
only in the reign of grace that God
can take the life broken by sin and
bring from it the sweetest harmon
les.
A musician once entered the shop
Of a mechanic and asked him TO
make for him good violin. When
the musician returned he was given
very fine looking instrument. He
carefully tuned it and drew the
bow across the strings, only to be
sadly disappointed in the tone. In
his disappointment he struck the
instrument against the table, crush
ing ii in pieces, paid the price and
left the shop. The mechanic picked
up the pieces and with great pains
put them together again. After
some days had passed the musician
returned and asked for, an instru-
ment. He was given the same one.
He tuned it carefully and drew the
bow across the strongs and to his
great delight found the tone to be
Just what he wanted.
This is a beautiful reminder of
how God, in the name of Christ,
can take the life broken by sin and
from it bring forth the sweetest
strains.

Now as planting time is here.we
should plant first, and in abundance,
those things which we expect to
use on the farm or in the home.
The really prosperous farmers are
those who raise a living at home
and whose money crop represents
a surplus. Cotton perhaps is the
most profitable eron which the ma
jority of our farmers can raise.
Yet, those farmers, sometime called
all cotton farmers. who do not pro-
duce a living at home and who ex-
pect to purchase even the articles
for table use with the proceeds of
cotton sales, are, as a rule, not
prosperous because no part of
their money crop represents a sur
