It is expected that Mothers
Day will be great day this year
Our variation this time from the
usual custom in observing this
day will be that after an intro
duction by the pastor capable
speakers will tell lis of 1.-The
Mothers of Bible Times, "The
Mothers of Great Men," and
The Mother of Jesus"
Then will follow a few short
talks on Associations with the
name Mother" land all will close
with an answer to the question,
why not observe Fathers
Day?" by one who can talk feel
ingly on that question.
This meeting will be at IL a.
m. and special invitation is Civ
en- to those who seldom go to
church yet are willing to take
this way one day in the year OF
honoring the mother you have or
her memory if she is not now
among the living.
Whether they secure carna
ton or not none need doubt a
hearty welcome.

FIND EDEN HARD TO LOCATE
Authorities Differ Radically as to the
Placing of the Historic Birth
place of Mankind.

There is no subject which has so
invited and so ballied conjecture as
the Garden Of Eden. The three con-
tinents of the old world have been
subjected TO the most rigorous search.
The account given in Genesis of the
situation Of Eden is not such as to
enable u, to identify it with any ex-
listing locality. 1t is said to have
had Il garden in the eastern part Of
it, and we are told that river went
out Of Eden to water it. and from
thence it was parted into four heads,
which were called. respectively. Pr
son. Gihon. Hiddckcl and Euphra-
ties (Phrab. The Pison is said to
compass the whole land of lIayilah:

and the Hiddekel to 90 toward the
east of Assvr;a. OF the rivers men
toned the Phrat of the original
seems to have been correctly ident-
fed with The Euphratcs. and the
name Hiddckcl appears elsewhere in
the Scripture to be applied to the
Tigris; bur it IS impossible to say
what places were meant by the
names Pison. Gihon. Hayilah and
Cush.

LACKED AN IMPORTANT POINT
Claimant Had the Honors in Weight
but Fell Short on Another Matter
of Moment.

1t isn't often that two men OF al
most exactly the same physical pro-
portions meet at convention, par
ticularly when the proportions carry
with them a weight of 325 pounds to
the man. Yet just this did happen
at recent indianapolis assemblage.
One OF the two arrived the first day
Of the convention and Immediately
set up the claim of being the heayi-
est man at the gathering. His state
ment went unchallenged until the
third day of the meeting. when a
contender appeared. The late arri-
val Immediately sought the first
claimant for heavyweight champion
ship bonors. Stepping up to him he
said: 81 understand you are saying
you are the heaviest man at this con-
vention?"
"Yes, sir, | so claim" said the
first arrival Il am five feet ten
inches high and weigh 325 pounds"
"Then you lose the championship"
said the challenger. Il am five
feet ten inches tall and weigh 1926
pounds"
"Well," said the first, eff YOU
weigh 326 that beats me. But, great
heavens, man, you haven't any

white flowers of love of fidelity,
not as a morbid sentiment, but
i'll glad recognition that she was,
to you, "the best mother who
ever lived"
In her memory, mber the
sick or unfortunate in hospital

with whom little Joy goes a

tingling in the veins of those you
think have no heart, and who
may think you have none.

more popular varieties It is 'he
! claim of every breeder of ducks
that the revenue derived from rails
ing them is far greater, in proportion
/ to the amount of money invested
than any other branch of poultry
raising In comparing two of the
leaders in the duck family. Mr. Otis
X. Hobbs, Hickory Grove. Kentucky,
says: There are two breeds Of duck
investment in which you will never
regret. In Australia the Buff Or
pington Ducks won over the indian
Runnrs in an egg-laying contest,
with 10 pens competing, while in
America we find the Buff OrpingtOn
and the White Indian Runner Ducks
on an equal basis when it comes to
eggs, but for meat and market ducks,
YOU will find the Bluffs superior to
the Runners, being larger and much
fieshier.
Like the great Buff Orpington
chickens which are noted for their
general qualities, beautiful buff color
size and eggs. the Buff Orpington
Ducks are also nOteG as they carry
and are being rapidly added to a
number of first. class poultry yards
carrying ducks, and indeed to many,
as an extra means of increasing the
profits, and especially to the plants
of those who are lovers of beautiful
buff fowls.
The Indian Runners, and especially
the White variety, are also very
popular, and these two possess ex-
cellent qualifications which render
them valuable as an adjunct to the
poultry yard One has no idea how
money can be made on either of
these varieties of ducks, even though
he might only have a trio. The
great commercial value of either of |
these breeds makes them worthy of
your consideration
One pair OF either breed will net .
YOU a profit of from 5000 to $500 a
year. and it is impossible to find .
more advantageous investment in .

Unlike the average flock of chickens.

Timely Hints for Farmers.

Use a slant harrow on corn after
it is up and the stems hardened
/ You will kill the small weeds, espec-
tally foxtail, and will scatter the ants
which carry the destructive root lice
Il you discover numbers Of ants in
your corn field you can rest assured
that there are plenty of lice working
on the roots and keep the cultivator
going is your remedy.
Twig blight is again generally prev
alent all over the county. 1t cannot
be controlled by spraying. To control
blight all cankered bark and limbs
should be cut out in the spring and
disinfected with corrosive sublimate
solution, of the strength of one part
to thousand parts of water. After
the blossoms fall go over every tree
at least once a week, and rub off
every sprOut which shows a sign of
disease. Burn the cankered bark and
blighted leaves. If they are all done
promptly then the disease may be
controlled. This takes a great deal
OF persistent labor and is too much
time for the average orchardist to put
in.
About thiryt boys have planted or
are planting their acre Of corn for
tue Germ Club contest. Taey need
your encouragement. Remember they
should be our future farmers.
Lice arc very bad on ap1;r trees
in some parts of the county. They
have curled the leaves until now it
is difficult to reach them with spray.
Black leaf forty (nicotine sulphate)
used according to directions, will con-
troll this trouble This should have
been used in one of the early sprays.
Cut the alfalfa as soon as the buds
are showing on the crowns of the |
plant BY cutting promptly through |
season an extra cutting can usually |
be had. Do not wait too long on the |
blossoms.

section. An effort will be made to
ietermine the factors entering into
successful fruit growing.
