Saul,s farm life A Farmer called TO
continued only a
month until the opportunity offered.
The A~mmonites, residing in the east
Of Israel's possessions. had for some
time besleged Jabesh-gilead. When
the city asked terms for surrender, the
Ammonite generals taunt was that on
one condition he would save their lives
they should each submit to having
an eye put out, as a shame on Israel.
Time was asked-seyen days-for de-
cision. Meantime messengers were dis
patched, possibly to all the tribes.
Some came to Saul's residence, evident
~ hoping that he would take steps for
their deliyerance.
Saul was appointed leader; the psy-
Geological moment had come. He kill
ed the oxen he had been driving and
sent pieces to all the tribes, saying that
whoever did not respond, to become a
defender of the general interests. would
have his oxen hewed to pieces. This
was a peculiar command for a king;
but 1t touched the right spot, for three
uuluI9u anu l4llly IuOuo01u A1C AC-
sponded. The messengers returned to
Jabesh-gilead with assurances of suc-
cor the next day. anu Israel gave an
swer to the besiegers that by the time
appointed they would march out for
them to do as they wished.
Saul divided his army into three sec
lions, and from three different quar-
ters came suddenly upon the ~besiegers,
routing them and delivering the Israel
ties. Thereupon they realized that
God had indeed given them a wise
king, whom they had been slow to rec
ognize; and they inquired for those
who had spoken against Saul, saying,
Let them now be slain. However, the
king wisely and generously said,
''There shall not a man be put to
death; for today the Lord hath wrought
salvation In Israel"
The Divine Character indicated.
Although the slaughtering of those
Ammonites had Divine approval, 1t did
not signify that they went to the the
illogical He'll. there to suffer eternal
torments. On the contrary, they mere
ly went to the tomb, to sleep until in
Gods arrangement Christ would die as
the worlds Redeemer, and at His Sec
0nd Advent would begin His work of
calling back from death all that are in
their graves.
To grasp the situation we must re-
member that all men are under a death
sentence: and it matters little whether
they die from starvation, sickness, pes
thence or the sword. The penalty
reads, dying, thou shalt die'-not
live, anyhow or anywhere. This fact
has a distinct bearing on everything
appertaining to the Lords authoriza-
ton of wars, permission of famines, etc.
While God has enforced the penalty,
"TLe wages of sin Is death" thus man
ifesting His Justice, He in another
way has been preparing for the mani

write the Department Of Agriculture
through our Congressman, Hon. L.
L. Morgan, for one hundred copies
of the latest pamphlet issued on the.
growing OF Strawberries in the south,
which will be distributed to the menu
bers as soon as received.
The Association agreed to use Its
best efforts 10 induce its members to
plant sweet potatoes for the canning
plant, to be delivered to the cannery
at Q price to be agreed on. It Is the
intention Of the canning company to
issue stock in part payment for vege-
tables, as sweet potatoes, thereby
giving the farmers the benefit of be
coming stockholders In growing
industry, and in that way place them
In position to get the full value
for their product. This arrange
ment was heartily endorsed by al
the members present.
It was agreed that a prize OF $1U
be awarded the grower who brings In
for shipment the first crate Of 1915
berries, and this prize will no doubt
be supplemented by others before the
shipping season opens.
During the past season the Assoc
ciation shipped about twelve hum
dred crates OF berries from Coving-
ton, at prices ranging from $3.25 for,
the early shipments to IS cents for.
the last shipments, but which made
the general average considerably
over q dollar q crate, which nets the
grower very handsome profit.
We urge all our readers who have
land to get plants and raise berries
for the coming season.

A general meeting of the st. Tam
many Farmers Association was held
on Wednesday, June 30th. at the
Office Of the Association. Thirty-two
members were present and great
deal Of enthusiasm was displayed in
regard to the coming years crop,
every member present pledging him
self to plant as much as last year at
least, and in most cases they agreed
to increase the acreage. A large
number of applications for plants
were reported by the members, which
would indicate increased acreage be-
ing planted. A conservative esti-
mate places the coming years crop
at about five hundred acres. How
ever, the Association has passed q
resolution to plant one thousand
acres for 1916. and each member is
a committee Of one to see that his
neighbors get into the Association
and plant at least one or two acres.
It has been demonstrated that ber-
ries can be grown commercially and
at profit in st. Tammany parish,
for the past season with all its draw
backs there were quite few mem-
bers Of the Association who made a
handsome profit on their crops.
All members OF the Association
are to list plants they have for sale
with the secretary Of the Association
who will refer the buyers to the
member nearest their neighborhood,
the price decided on being $3.50 per
thousand, or where the purchaser
will dig the plants the price will be
$1.O0 per thousand.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. McLain, Mr..

rifled and the contents placed in the

5 o'clock, and the packages taken

RICE MILL FOR 81.
TAMMANY PARISH

A strong effort is being made to
revive the rice growing industry in
st. Tammany parish. There should
be no good reason why this industry
should not be one of the creates III
the State. Thousands Of acres OF
land adjacent to Abita Springs, Man
deyille, Madisonville and Covington
are admirably and naturally adapted
to the growing of rice, and should be
so utilized in connection with diversi-
fication of other crops. Ways and
means as to the best methods will
be discussed later and at the proper
time.
Realizing that not much eau be
done in any line Of endeavor without
the cooperation Of those most vital
ly interested, and it being the desire
of the Cov:ngton Association OF COM
merce to lend its aid and support to
any worthy industry, not inly in Gov
ington but everywhere in the parish,
and as there is some talk OF the
building of rice mill to handle the
home grown crops, ETC., this mill to
be located at a point most convent
emily accessible to transportation
and as near the center Of the rice
growing district as possible, trans
portation facilities considered.
It is the earnest desire of this As
sociation to secure reliable data as
to the number of acres in st. Tam
many parish now planted in rice, and
the number of additional acres that
might ultimately be expected to os
placed under rice cultivation, and
thannfore seriously request one and
all That are now growing rice or :hat
in the near future contemplate the
growing of rice, to communicate-axafh q
this Association, stating the number
of acres now planted in rice, and the
number of acres you would agree to
plant in rice, should a mill be built
to handle the crops.
You will understand that to build
a modern and down-to-the-mlnute
rice mill requires capital. You also
understand and realize that capital
wants something on which to Das2
its investment. Therefore, 1t is up
to ws Of st. Tammany parish to show
what inducements we have to offef
in the way of raw and probable raN
material. Do not put this paper
aside tfinkink you will answer II
some other day, but get out your pen
or pencil and paper at once, wrl.e,
address and send letter or postal
card to the Covington Association o.
Commerce, stating. the number OF
acres you now have planted IN rice
the number of acres you contem-
plate planting in rice. and such other
information as you would like te
have were you the other party.

charge Of Miss Wallis and was lead
ing her out for lessons in the art,
when suddenly and without warning
both sank into a deep hole that had
been made by the Steamer Josie in
backing for a turn. The hole was
not large, but was deep enough to be
over the heads of the bathers. No
body knows how Mr.. McDougall lost
control of himself. Probably his
lungs became filled with water when
he made the unexpected plunge. but
his efforts to save Miss Wallis were

to save himself. Attempting to push
