Friend Little:

Friend Little:
We will answer to the best
Of our knowledge and ability.
We suppose that it is according
to scripture that our friend
wishes us to answer. For the
brother is aware of the fact that
the world has different reason,
but all are supposed to be con
nected with the Birth of Christ.
Now let the reasons be what
they may we accept none OF
them. From the fact that they
oil belong to the wrong side OF
the house. This will be plainly
shown by our answer.
It is true that our friend has
embraced seven points in one
question or you might say asked
seven question.
The first Ia, why do they al.
ways have an ever green tree for
q Christmas tree?
There is no scripture for it
in the name of Christ. 1t will
have to come under some other
head. It ia true that Christ
spoke of himself as q green tree
in this manner
"For if they do these things
in q green tree. what shall be
done in the dry?" Luke 23-31.
Christ here represents him
self as q green tree. And it
they will DO those evil things
while be is here, what will they
do when be is gone? yes, it is a
fact that they will say this, for
Christ said that they would.
Please read
For, behold, the days are
coming, in the which they shall
say, Blessed are the barren, and
the wombs that never bare, and
the paps which never gave
suck" Luke 23-20.
We know that this saying has
and is coming to pass in this ou1
own day. Men and women o
high rank, as they are called
are doing all that they can tt
suppress the multiplication o
the human family. Even trying
to have q law passed to make it
crime for certain classes of tn
human family to marry and bar
children, when God Almight
Himself said that it is not goo
for man to be alone, and tha
they should be fruitful an
multiply and replenish th
earth But men say today ble'

and the paps that give no suck.
Then we are in the time OF the
dry tree. But at this very time
the question of our friend is full.

mouse, shall be consumed to.
gether, saith the Lord" lisa. 66
IL,
Behind the ever green tree,
set up on what is called Christ
mas day, is where the above
scripture is fulfilled. The 25th
day Of December was not the
day that Christ was born on.
This fact is the representative
of the mouse; and the mouse
represents the character who
goes out in the dark. or chooses
a cover, in order to steal from
the hard earned treasurers of
others. On this day they in
appearance make a sacrifice, on
this ever green tree. Bnt
let me say right here, this
sacrifice is always made by the
rich father and mother to their
own poor children. The poor
orphant or the child who has
parents that are to poor to get
them a present have to do with,
out-the mouse has slipped their
part away from them. For an
illustration, we shall give you
a little of our own experien ce
The last time we were at one of
these trees. we lived at Aurora
Springs Mo-. and we we're in
vited to Mt. Pleasant to make q
talk. After our talk and the
time came for the distribution
of the presents, we took our seal
in the back part of the house.
We knew most every body
there; and one name after an
other of rich parents children
were called out. and they re
ceived their gift.
Just in front of US sat widow

they saw others receiving. nic'
things; they began to ask ant
say mamma won't they give u'
something. Mamma 1 wan
something, and when they 60
nothing they began to cry. Thi
was enough for US; we saw tina
they got what was called
Christmas present. But thi
pl owed to US that Christ was no
in such doings.
Again we say that the 25t
day of December was not th
, day of the month or the mont

KING COTTON READS THE PAPER

King Cotton threw the paper down
And laughed until he shook.
It's just the same old tale, he said,
| know II like a book.
The Southern farmers swear to cut
The cotton crop In two,
But when the spring comes round
again,
know Just what they'll do,
All through the fall and winter
months
They try to get my goat,
They try to resolute me down,
Or kill me by vote.
II times are panicky and dull
have to bear the blame,
But when the spring comes on again
They plant me just the same.
They talk OF pumpkins and OF peas
And all that kind of stun
Il never worries me bit,
know It's just blum.
They talk OF sowing down the farm
In forty kinds OF grain,
But when another spring comes round
They make me King again.
They plant me here. they plant me
there.
In every nook and spot,
And when they've used up all thu
ground.
They plant me In a pot.
And when the fall comes on again
And famine pinches sore,
They saddle all the blame on me,
And resolute some more.

BEGIN DRAGGING ROADS NOW.

The ceapest good roads maker ever
invented is the drag. II you don't
want impossible roads in February
and March. begin dragging them now.
Send to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d.
c., for a free copy of Farmers Bulle'
tin No. S21. "Split Log Drag on Earth
Roads" Also demand that your Leg
islature make proper provision for
paying farmers for dragging roads
Here is the gospel Of road dragging
as given in a single paragraph by ID.
Ward King, inventor OF the now cele'
brated split log good roads maker:
"Tt's not the water that falls on
your roads that does them harm. but
the water that stays on them. After
you grade your road the surface is
still composed Of porous dirt This
absorbs water. Either you drive at
one side or you drive at the top and
cut 1t up. You know the kind of mud
you find in a hog wallow. It is like
wet cement. You could fashion a
waterproof vessel from IT, This same
fine dirt Is found on a travelled road.
II It is not dragged after rains II Is
like a long basin, holding the water
later hardening into a rOugn. lumpy
surface. Drag the road after a rain
and you spread a thin layer OF this
fine dirt over the surface and II Is
beaten down. Drag It after the next
rain and you put on another layer
which is also packed down. Keep
this up and after a while you VIII
have a road. higher In the middle
than on the sides and covered with
an eighteen.inch or two-foot. smooth.
hard crown that will shed all water.
Using simple drag is the only sus-
gestion yet made that will not make
road worse before it makes It bet
ter. Never drag ND more at one time
than can be packed down by the traf'
fic."-Progressive Farmer.

WEATHER FORECAST

copyrighted. 1914, by w. T. Foster.J
Washington, Feb. l3.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts OF disturbance to cross
continent about February l6 to 20,
warm wave II to 10, cool wave Is to
20. This will be preceded by a gen
eral cold wave, freezing weather go
Ing further south than usual with
most precipitation OF the moon month,
January 22 to February 20. The most
severe weather will come with that
dip In the temperatures. But a great
and rapid rise In temperatures VIII
occur as this disturbance approaches
and the warm wave will be general.
Temperatures OF the cool wave VIII
not 80 very low. While not much
precipitation Is expected some SHOWS
will follow this disturbance In North
eastern sections.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about February 81, cross Pacific
slope by close OF 22. great central val
leys 20 to %. Eastern sections 26.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about February "a, great central val
leys 20. Eastern sections 2s.
This disturbance will begin a new
month OF precipitation covering Feb
ruary 20 to March 20. The rainfall
Of this month will locate in Southern
and Eastern sections. Mexico, Cen
trail America and South America.
The heaviest OF these rains is not
expected with this first storm, but
the rains will increase in the sections
mentions till about March 22. TEN
peratures OF this disturbance will ay'
erage lower than usual, but the
storms will not be severe.
Our danger signals are hung out for
the Panama Canal for February 20 tc
March 20 on account OF heavy rains
that will probably cause an increase
OF slides. Heavy rains will continue
also on the Pacific coasts Of Mexico
and California, but not so heavy ir
California as during the past two
months. Usually the winter rains arr
much heavier on the Pacific slopes o
Oregon, Washington and British Co
lumbia than in California, but In &C
cord with our forecasts II has beer
reversed this winter and California
has received the big rainfalls. Thu
condition will continue till about Ma!
20. when the usual conditions will pre-
vail on the Pacific slope till abou
June 10, when an unusual condition
Of rainfall will begin on the Pacif
slope.
From about June 10 to July % tn
California and Mexican Pacific slope
will get much more than the usua
amount OF rain. That is their dr.,
season usually and the dust is annoy
ing. but the rains in July this yea
will lay the dust and make 1t mucl
more comfortable for the great expos
ton. For this reason We are of tn
opinion that from July l to 20 will b
the most comfortable time to go I
the great San Francisco exposition.
On account Of the expected III

States we again urge Southern farm
ers to plant corn instead of cottor
On account of the present high price
of corn, hogs and pork will be yer
high and every farmer should II

his crop Of corn. The European wa
will probably end before the new Gro

FEW CAN ESCAPE NOSTALGIA
Homesickness Claims Victims From
All Glasses ans From Every
Variety Of People.

German sailors on steamships which
are held up in New York are said to
have, several of them, gone mad Idle
ness and inconsistencies are the causes,
hospital authorities say.
Eomesickness finds strange victims.
Army surgeons know that sometimes
it kills. Often it is the man without
a regular home who is most subject
to nostalgia. This disturbance Of
soul, mind and body settles down upon
the phlegmatic, the burly. the thick
skinned. 1t takes them under sunny
skies amid the earth's best loneliness
and they moan for dirty streets where
they played In childhood.
Idieness breeds inconsistencies and
active diversion cures it. 1t is akin
TO melancholia and comes in mystic
rious ways. Probably 1t arises from
the biological impulse intended to an
Choir man In one place long enough
for him to take root. Its opposing in
stinct is the wanderlust.
Explorers have confessed that the
worst inconsistencies they have known
was in the first few hours and days
of their return In familiar surround
ings the marks Of times memorable
progress were painfully apparent.
Changes, small and large. tortured
them by reminders of the precious
past. Some have turned in Respondent
revulsion to take up their roamings
again.
