THE DANGER OF USING FOR EG IN
POTATOES FOR SEED.

Large quantities of European
potatoes are at the present time
being received into this country.
Their fine appearance and reason
able cost in comparison with the
high cost of homegrown seed have
fed grow 1rs to consider the advisa-
bility of using them for seed in
place of homegrown stock. This
should under no circumstances be
done.
A wide experience in testing a
large number of foreign-grown
varieties has demonstrated that,
with few exceptions, foreign stock
is not adapted to the climate and
soil conditions obtaining in this
country. The Department of Agri-
culture during the past seven years
has tested more than 100 foreign
varaties, with the uniform result
that the yields during the first year
were not equal to the yields OF our
best American sorts. These results
have been repeatedly corroborated
by American growers and seedmen.
The few fairly satisfactory varie-
ties of the many tested have requir-
ed from two to three seasons to
become acclimated.
% Foreign-grown potatoes should
under no circumstances be used
for seed purposes.
GU Such potatoes are not adapted
to our soils and climate, and will
not return profitable yields.
3 Several serious diseases not now
prevalent in this country are al
most certain to be introduced il
such stock is used for seed.

1t is all sumed up in one word
of six letters:
"PROFIT'
A long time ago our fore fathers
We're in bondage to an old fellow
named "PHARAOH'. His heart
was hardend by God for our own
good. He was crazy for what? To
make a long story short. For the
same reason that sank the Titanic
with it's fearful loss of lives.
PROFIT.
The old chap got so mad when
his servants cut and ran away-and
by so doing put stop to his Profits
That he and his men drove pell
nell alter them, and every mother S
son of them got drownded. The
mad race n both cases was for
Profits.
I assume that you, as you read
these lines are satisfied that the
God of Gods-started every thing
and keeps every thing a going.
Well! wouldn't t it be wise for you
and | to try and practice his way
of doing things.
He knows what is for our good,
and what will make rs prosper.
(See the first Psalm. just take
a look at the ten commandments.
But do not hedge on the forth
command, by switching off on to a
bungling man made day.
God won't stand any of your
fooling with his word.
1t will cut deeper and faster than
"A circular saw.
What will it profit man, if he
gain the whole world and loose his

Loss by Fire.

We are in the firm grip Of winter,
his low thermometer, cold winds
and SHOWS are holding US closely by
the blazing fire. Not much busi-
ness is being done, and the chief
thing that concerns us all is How
may 1 keep plenty Of wood to keep
my fire burning?"
There was no Sunday school in
the Baptist church yesterday, not
withstanding the fact that radius
of 200 yards takes in enough ma
terial for 40 pupils, more than the
average regularly. There was no
business done at the Methodist
church either. #
The superstitious are predicting,
an unlucky year for us,for the new
year opened up as day of misfor-
tune to US. About 80 minutes after
Mr.. G. L. Harper left his store on
New Years night, fire was discover
ed in the roof, and the alarm was
promptly given, but only small
per cent. of his stock could be
saved. The store of Freeman 81
Blackwell also caught, but by hard
skiIlful work it was saved, yet theil.
goods were very much damaged by
having to be carried out into the
muddy streets. The loss of both is
partially covered by insurance.
Mr.. w. Il. Miner VINO was
thrown out of employment by the
burning of Mr.. G. l.. Harper's store
has been employed by Freeman &
Blackwell.
Mr.: w. o. Graves has moved
his family to the home of his father

Mrs. j. w. Bracknell visited in
Greenwood on the 18th inst.
Mr.. B. d. Kitchings has been ap-
pointed a trustee to till the vacancy
made by the resignation of Mr.. G.
l.. Harper.
At patrons meeting last Friday
the trustees were instructed to call
an election soon to vote on an extra
two mills tax in order to place the
school on better financial basis.
Our people are already waking up
to see the value of a good school in
a community. 1t is possible for
many communities to combine
smaller schools, vote on special
taxes, and thus place good work
ing education within reach of all
the children of the community. One
of the greatest problems in the way
is selfshness-men are afraid they
will do something that will help
neighbours child. May l have the
privilege of whispering to my fell
low citizens that there is duty we
all owe the child who has parents
who are either too poor, too selfish,
too Indifferent, or too narrow to
give them chance to get an educa-
ton. Help the child up that is
down, and more bene6cent hand
will help you.
