Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing q
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most Of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece Of garden ground
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew! But 1t must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant'
ing patch in the spring and fall.
Hastings 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind Of money-sav.
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. 1t tells about the field crops
as we'll and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT'S FREE. Send for

thG. srJne with planetary lustre for a
little Willie and now are not so bright
as a glow-worm that a child may hold
in his hand. When you came into the
world you inherited all of 1t, and found
that every one who ever dwelt here,
laid down his life. though he knew 1t
not, to prepare 1t for you.
You grow tired Of giving, tired Of
having your sleeve plucked all the
time by some beggary that plaintively
insists upon it's worthiness. Now is
your turn, you think. You would like
to rest and take your ease and enjoy
your share. 1t Is about time that the
benefits you have bestowed upon your
fellows were returned, and you look
for the restoration Of the balance But
have you not seen, do you not know,
that you might give all you have and
do all you can, and still you would not
discharge your indebtedness to the in
finite grace and bounty that have held
you close and warmed and fed you
since you first drew breath?
"Arrant nonsense!" is the sharp re-
joinder of some who wonder where
the next meal is to come from; who
cannot pay for coal and light; who
drudge at the washboard for a pit
tance; whose only music is the voice
of fretted. alling infant; whose land
scape is painless boards and a wall Of
brick. This Is the vaporous fancy of
a man who sits at ease in a quiet
room, warmed and nourished, putting
words on paper. Little enough does
the writer know of the misery that
never finds it's way into print or be-
meath the flap Of an envelope. We who
suffer most are the most silent, and
we have no use for the nosing, poking
reformer that calls himself a sociolo
gist; we only pray him to go his way
and let us fight 1t out alone, here IN
the dark"
The wretchedest miser and hermit
that ever wrapped his sullen cloak
about him and defied his kind; the
most miserable fakir that ever hung
head downwards or sat on spikes in
India; the poorest wight that ever
groveled in the mud when he might
have stood and talked with angels face
to face, was an heir apparent in the
line royal Of his race. 1t is not possi-
BILE to be so poor that man cannot be
rich in many things-rich like Chau-
GERS parson in thought and work" II
in nothing more. How much man
owns, as long as he owns himself! All
that was ever done for him is his for
ever. This teacher taught him to hold
his tongue, under whatever provoca-
ton; this other teacher said a word or
two that he still hears above all noises
round him now. He saw somewhere
an old man who was kind, a woman
who was thoughtful and a child that
told the truth. What happy chance
enriched his life with these small
things. whose sum is a golden treas
ury? By them he has become so
much more than the man you see; he
is all he has experienced and all that
he remembers, and however often he
falls. however low he sinks he is still
man. and far horizons beckon him
still.

SehooIboy Diplomaey.-Two of In
diana's teachers were overheard com
pairing notes on their school work one
day recently. One Of them said:
Il left the drawer Of my desk full
of apples. pears and hickory nuts when

children are always bringing me
things.
The other teacher laughed as she
said Mine are not so free with
their gifts. One Of my small boys came
to me and asked:
Would it make any difference in
my grades If brought you great big
apple every day."

Assop in Mexican Guise.


Here is a story with a moral which
Is a popular favorite in Mexico, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
Juan" said the father. II will die
pretty soon. All 1 can leave you is
the little burro and a single bit OF
good advice. This Is, never attempt
to have people satisfied with your con-
duct"
"Why?"
Come and see."
The boy began to walk. then came
the burro. and. behind, the old man.
How stupid" the men said. why
do they not ride the burro? No doubt
the burro will ride on them tomor-
row."
Both the old man and Juan heard
this. Then the old man said:
Now, look here, my son; jump on
the burro and I will drive him."
They reached another town. Peo-
pie who saw them exclaimed: 1.-The
old man must be crazy and the boy
is without shame"
Did you hear that?" the old man
questioned.
"Yes, father"
well, now, I will ride the burro
and you will drive him."
Another town was reached. Three
men were passing by an done Of them
said: Never in my life did 1 see
such a man; he is riding on the burro
and lets the poor little boy march on
foot. That is atrocious."
Did you hear that?"
"Yes, father"
"All right, jump on the burro and
we will both ride home"
They followed another trail, and on
their road they met a number Of peo-
pie who came in the opposite direc-
ton, each one on a burro. Upon Sec
ing the old man and his son riding
the burro they exclaimed: These
must be savages. When shall We
have a society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals? Look at that
stupid old man and his son riding
together on that poor burro!"
Did you hear that?"
"Yes, father"
well, never from now on try to
have people satisfied with your con-
duct"

LARGE SUMS CONTRIBUTED
FOR WORK OF MISSIONS
Seventh-Day Adventist Sabbath
Schools Have Nearly Com
pleted Second Million.

Mrs. L. Flora Plummer, secretary of
the Sabbath school department of the
General Conference of Seventh day
Adventists, is preparing to send
throughout the denominational ranks
a report of the growth of the depart
ment Of which she is the head, en-

lion of dollars to missions had been
given by our Sabbath schools at the
close of 1914. The first twenty-five
years of giving to missions ended in
1911, and netted over s1.000,000 Be
ginning with 1912, we started on the
