Trying to Pose Ruth"
One day as we were approaching
Bethlehem we looked into a valley Of
ripening grain and silvery olive trees.
There are the fields Of Boaz where
Ruth CLEANED" said our dragoman, and
perhaps association of ideas caused us
to halt at the roadside. A woman was
sitting on the ground before pile of
wheat and chaff. She had been
threshing the little bundles of grain
that her daughter, an attractive girl of
perhaps fourteen years, had cleaned
in the large fields near by. Here was
Ruth of 1914. At least we thought so
and Immediately entered into negotia-
lions with her mother for her to pose.

when our attention was attracted by
shrill cries down the road. A man

which he was clubbing and galloping
toward us. Immediately the girl heard
him she squatted beside her mother
and seemed to be very much fright

The man shouted something at us
in Arabic as he jumped from his dom
key and made gesture toward the
camera, but seeming to realize that
1t was the girl we wanted to snap, he
stood in front of her as he scolded

TREES THAT WILL BE MISSED
Many Needed for Medicine Have Been
Cut Down and Are Not Being
Replanted.

The woodman's ak has been clear
ing our forests so rapidly as to work
great injury to the farming interests
of the country ard to the wealth of
the nation. The trees so necessary
to the retention of moisture for tho
soil and supply for the rivers have
been ruthlessly cut down. The trees
from which medicine are derived
are rapidly disappearing with the
rest. The wild cherry, besides hav-
ing the ak as an enemy, has been
cut down by the tiny teeth of insects.
It's bark contains hydrocyanic acid,
and is a popular tonic. The witch
hazel, known as remedy by the
Indians, is being destroyed. The
bark of the slippery elm tree is won

mild cathartic, the white ash as an

rack, the white willow and the birch

health-giying properties are rapidly
fading away.-The Christian Herald.

ter of posing. After she had explained
to him the man told us that she was
his girl wife and that he thanked the
prophet for permitting him to arrive
in time to save her from disgrace
Ten years from now" he said, the
people of this village may point their
fingers at my wife and say: There is
girl who was willing to stand before
a Christian dogs camera for two
frances"
Our dragoman caught the drift Of
the conversation. At first the man
told his wife to run away, but on sec
ond thought he told her to remain be-
hind him and if we tried to snap the
camera he would throw stones at it
and try to break it. So after we found
out his intentions we. decided to look
far a Christian Ruth.
From Bethlehem we went into the
Judean wilderness to attempt to snap
shepherds with their fiocks of sheep
and goats. We met with little oppo-
sition from these lonely, half starved
lads, who when they were Christians
thankfully accepted the fee we gave
them and when they were Moham-
medans begged for more money and
| then cursed us in the name of the
Prophet as We departed.
At the old monastery of Marsaba,
perched high on a cliff in ravine
that seems like great crack in the
parched earth, we requested a monk
nearly ninety years of age to pose for
us. He had been an inmate OF the
lonesome convent for 40 years and so
unused to the world and the people
of the world that we suspected he had
lost all interest in worldly affairs. He
posed on a stone bench, with prayer
book in hand, and when we thanked
him he said; win you please send
me copy of my photograph? I'd like

Conquer the habit of worrying IL
you want to be happy in this world.
Worry will grow upon you, becoming
a little worse day after day until it
holds you in such an unrelenting grip
that you are veritable slave to it's
dictates. Shake off fear, fill your
mind with happy thoughts, look into
the future unafraid. and be thankful
for the blessings of the present.
No matter how bad your condition
you can always find something to be
thankful for. If you are poor you may
have health, blessing many of the
rich would be willing to pay for dear

be happy in the tender ministrations
of friends and relatives around you.

there is in it, look for the best, do
your best, and you will have no cause

GADsDEN

Gadsden, December 3.-(Special )-Ina- bility of fertilizer manufacturers to se- cure potash and the high price of cotton seed may cause some of the mixing plants in this section to suspend opera tions next season. Many farmers are pre- rarng to use more domestic fertilizer next year.
 Fears are expressed that large amount of cotton will be brought to the local market during the holidays, flooding it and forcing the price down. Practically all the cotton is out of the fields in this section.
 The school of instruction for farms opened at Hoke's Bluff today It is be- ing conducted under the auspices of A. R. Gissendanner, farm demonstra tion agent, and Miss Diana Bankston in charge of the canning club work. The instructors include J. C. Ford, state pig club agent; Dr. H. c. Wilson, state hog cholera expert; R. U. Chestnut, profess sor of science. Montevallo; Miss Nellie Tappan, associate agent girls canning work, and l.. U. Duncan, superintendent of junior and home economics depart ment.
 The case of Mrs. Ira Perkins, admins tratrix, against Charles Galloway, for Sl0O00 is being heard in the city court of Gadsden. The plaintiffs husband was killed in an automobile accident near Mint Springs July 4, 1913. It is the sec- ond time the case has been tried, the de- fendant winning the first time.
