the cook and the seamstress, the
economist, the moralist, statesman,
comrade, lover, FRIEND all sorts of
work for one woman, all sides of her
nature to be developed. Instinct
tells the bird how to build her nest
and gather worms for its young, but
it does not tell people how to build
sanitary houses and bake wholesome
bread. 1t does not snow people how
to live economically, nor how to live
together peacefully and help each
other develop physically, mentally
and morally. These are some of the
things every girl land boy should
know something about, also, how to
value people and things at their real
worth to know the genuine from the
glitter. Politeness does not always
stand for principle, nor good clothes
for honesty and industry. Parents
were given children to train them for
success. You say, why all this train
ing? The proper man may never
appear. 1t is my belief that he is
somewhere waiting and in the world
is one good home more or less be,
cause your dear girls are or are not
ready. And what if the right man
did die of fever or measles? The
training will go for success some
where else. No sensible prepare
ton is ever lost There are so many
fields open to girls these days and
the mother was wrong when she was
speaking Of farmer girls. They have
about the best chance there is to
make good if they want to bad
enough, and every farmer girl ought
to want to make something Of her
life. True, there are some draw
backs, but they merely try the metal
that is in her make up. Overcom-
ing difficulties is the best of all train,
ing. because of the opportunities
and demands of the present day wom-
an, the girl must get as much educa,
ton as possible. To stand the COM
petition in the world she will need it
and if she marries she will not want
her husband to be ashamed of her
(nOr will she want a husband she
will be ashamed of. She win want
to be his counsellor and companion
and be able to make the most Of her
children. If she can not get the edu-
cation she Graves when young, she
can save up and take a special course
later. Some good women have work
ed in homes in their college town for
board While pursuing their studies
Nothing stands in the way of will
power and good common sense. In
almost every case where the father
is living, the girl can depend upon
him for sympathy, help and advice
The real father has his ambitions for
the daughter and her best interest is
always on his thoughts and plans and
we know the mother will make any

make them delicate and proves han
dicap rather than a help to the little
fellows. The newly-hatched chicks OF
the prairie hen, the grouse, the quail,
etc., have no soft mashes prepared for
them, but pick up dry seeds,
bugs, worms, tender grass shoots, ETC.,
and they live and thrive and mature
into strong, healthy and vigorous
birds. We can initiate natures way
Of feeding by giving our chicks foods
similar to the above, instead of wet
mashes, corn meal mush ETC., which
often becomes sour and Hnwholesome
before 1t is eaten up, and more
often sours in the crops Of the little
fellows causing all kinds of trouble.
! 1t must be borne in mind that the
baby chicks are delicate things at
best, and that they need not only
warmth and production, but foods
that are best suited to their needs and
somewhat limited powers of digestion
and assimilation during the first few
days of their existence.-Exchang

was M. Harry H. Pace, the Grand
EXa' ted Ruler of the Improved Pro
tective Benevolent Order of Elks of
the World. The fact that such a
high position CONS to a Tennessean
residing in the City ON the Buff gave
rise to much favorable comment last
week. Then, too, Mr. Pace, though
young man, is the efficient cashier
of the Solvent Savings Bank and
Trust Company, bank that possibly
does more business than either of
the other three banks in the state of
Tennessee. Their deposits are said
to be in the neighborhood of two
hundred thousand, with most Of the
capital stock already paid in. 1t
was Mr.. Pace who was made a per-
manent assistant secretary at a re-
cent session of the Republican Con
vention. 1t is said that Mr. Pace or
Mr.. Settles and probably both will
be delegates from the Memphis dis
trict to the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago next June.

TO THE FARMERS OF TENNESSEE
By Capt Z {. PECK, Commissioned Of AarleuIture.

We have talked to the boys on the
farm and to their fathers and moth
ers. This week we want to talk to
the farmers daughters, and we want
the farmers and their wives and sons
to read this also, because for many
centuries woman has not been given
a chance to develop her true self.
Now when she has her chance,
thrill of being free and able to do
things is causing her, in some in
stances, to sacrifice the womanly-
the God-given ability to do the work
she was meant to do, so, because of
this other extreme in the swinging
of the pendulum. Girls should know
their opportunities and appreciate
their limitations, they should know
the joy of real living, to exercise the
satisfaction of being somebody worth
while because they dare to do the
thing they can do and do it so well
that they are happy and content,
never satisfied to stand still but al
ways growing and improving. l
would have the girl able to meet any
emergency; learn to do anything and
everything for the pleasure Of know
ing, from playing the piano to har-
Messing a horse from painting a
picture, if the opportunity offers, to
making nutritious artistic loafs of
bread teaching Sunday-school
class, Quieting an irritable child, tell
ing a story or scrubbing floor; more
than this she should be able to do
some one thing so we'll that if neces-
sary she could face the world and
make an honest living. Every girl
should know the sweetness of indie
pendence and be sweet while she in
dependent, as well as when dependent.
Much is said about the boy on the
farm, but the girl on the farm is
equally as important. The farm needs
her and she the farm, for there the
possibility of developing her best self
is found. A mother once said, there
isn't much for the girl in the country,
but to get married." She did not
say that there was very little in that
for the girl if she was not ready for
it, or if the man is not trained and
true. 1lOWGNOl, We luupI 6ldiI INC
mothers assertion, for we must own
that as long as humanity lives, so
long will the instinct of mothers love
and home making be in the heart Of
the normal woman. We would not,
for moment, have it otherwise, but
my plea is for training long and well
for those offices. We train for other
professions if we expect any degree
of perfection or success, so why not
train the girls to qualify them to
make successful home makers, wives
and mothers? To do this we'll takes
more brain and nerve and heart and
muscle than any other profession,

tons. takes artistic skill; the SAM
tary part and general health takes

ter. The girl can contribute towards (
her school money by milking extra
cows, by giving attention TO poultry, |
by attending to colony of bees, or
she can have plot of strawberries, /
or plot of tomatoes. Where there !
is a will there is a way She can
become expert in canning fruits, in
making jellies, for there is always a
demand for home made stuff of that
sort. Girls are making a success
too, of lunch and rest rooms, home
decorating, special cooking, in the
country in domestic science. Others
in agriculture and forestry. Why not
women farmers, if they love the
work? No place can one be healthier
and happier-near to nature and Ma
lures God Here she learns the
poetry of life, the harmony and beau
ty Of living. Here she is removed
from the distractions and demands of
the city or town. Our girls want
to remember that good health, good
the shrdlo shrdl cmfwy cmfwy hrdl
health, good morals and Christian
charity are the base of all happiness
and success, and without any one
of which she Is at a disadvantage
Let her guard her health. Plenty Of
pure water for drink and breathe I'd
pure water for drink and bath, live
in the sunshine and breathe deep of
the pure fresh air day and night.
There Is exercise enough on any
farm. Let her watch her company
and her thoughts. Know the com
fort and culture of the Bible and as
she can, become familiar with the
poets and classics; read biographies
and histories more than fiction
These are better company than cheap
people l always feel sorry for q
family who leave the country and &c
to the town Tor the children to work
| in the factory. The monotony es
/ peciaIly for the girls is demoralizing
The ceaseless grind from early til
late every day. There is no time fol
the girl under such conditions to i'm
prove herself for better conditions
Girls, stay on the farm if you have t.
work in your neighbours kitchen to d.
it. Better the kitchen any time thai
the factory with it's attendant evils
Stay there at least until you are abb
to take a position where you can dc
veop your capabilities and live
life that is worth living.

The Women's Missionary Society
held their regular meeting Saturday
and Sunday. Sunday was an ideal
day for church-goers. Rev. Manse,
our pastor, and Rev. Powell, both
of MARVEL, preached soul-stirring
sermons to the women Sunday
morning, and all were much bene-
flied thereby. Rev, Manse and Rev.
Powell, after services, ate dinner
with DR.. and Mrs. L. A. Davis. Mrs.
James A. Franklin went over to
Bardon, Ark, Saturday to attend the
burial of her brother, William Nor
veil, who died Friday and was buried
Saturday. We extend our deepest
sympathy to Mr.. Riley Glenn in the
death Of his wife, they having been
married only a few months. Mr..
Berry Jarrett also has our sympathy
in the death of his wife. Mrs. Terry

GREAT REVEALS IN PROGRESS.

Revival season is now on in Nash
vile. A number of the larger churches
are already in the midst of success
full meetings While there is dearth
of visiting ministers, as most of the
revivals are being conducted by home
talent, there are some visitors in the
city from nearby points. All last
week the houses of worship received
unusually large attendance The
weather was very inclement, but the
religious feryor which permeated the
atmosphere served to bring out the
faithful or pure in heart, as it were.
Beginning with this week and next
week, practically every church in the
city will have entered its revival ses-
sions. From reports that were cir
culated on the streets it would appear
that most of them are having unusual
success. At any rate, it is evident
that the gospel Of the lowly Nazarene
is being expounded with force, and
that the sinners are accepting it.
Some of the meetings will close Sun.
day night, but this is only to give way
to others that are preparing to begin
theirs to run from ten to fifteen days.
Mrs. Susie V. Minter and Mrs. Katie

and Saturday in the city, en- route
from Memphis, where they have been
visiting.

MR.. JOHNSON WAS NOT DEFEAT
En-

II was stated in last weeks issue
of the Globe that Mr.. A. N. Johnson
of this city was defeated for presi-
dent of the Independent Republican
League at the meeting recently held.
This impression is erroneous. Mr..
Johnson was elected and a committee
wa appointed to notify him, who per-
sisted that he accept the position af-
ter he had positively declined, stat
ing that press of business would not
permit him to devote tie time to the
position that would be required and
which the interest involved would de-
mand.
