What's Time to a Hog?

Time is worth money, but the farmer who is willing to jog along 10 hours over a bad road when a good road-a road with the maintenance built in twill bring him to the same point in less time and with greater ease. is somewhat like the negro who was feeding corn in the shuck to his hog when an efficiency en- gineer" drove up.
 Nose, do you know that if you shucked that corn, shelled 1t and then boiled it a little, your hog would eat it in a whole lot less time|"
 Maybe so: but boss, said Nose, with a spreading smile. ''kin you tell me how much time is worth to a hog"'
 Nothing to the hog. of course, but isn't 1t worth something to you to get it to market sooner?'
 The smile of doubt spread into one of discernment. Nose saw.
 The farmer who learns that he can turn time wasted on a bad roaG into cash in bank by mark eting his products over a 365-day road, is the farmer whose view point has been corrected by ex- perience and observation.

Obituary.

Mrs. Eliza Nicholson (nee Gam ble) was born in Water Valley, Ala, January 10, 1889, and died in Altus, Ark, November 12, 1916.
 She came to Arkansas in early life, and was reared in Conway county. She was married to w. A. Nicholson March 30, 1865. They have no children of their own, but took Mrs, Head, their niece, and now the wife of one of our Texas preachers. when she was but three years of age and kept her until she was mar ried. Sister Head seemed to them more like a daughter than a niece. She was converted at the age of twenty-nine years, and joined the Baptist church, but afterwards placed her mem- bership in the M. E. Church South. where she lived and died.
 Sister Nicholson was a true christian woman. She loved God and was faithful to His church. Everybody loved her and had faith in her as a chris tian, neighbor and friend. She had been in feeble health for several years but was able to attend our revival meeting this year, which she enjoyed very much. While it is with sadness that we have had to part with Sister Nicholson. yet we can thank God that we have had such a life lived in our midst.
 May Gods blessings ever be upon the relatives and especially Bro. Nicholson and Sister Steph- enson and their little son, Frank. who lived with them. Sister Steph- enson is the daughter of Sister Head, of whom we have made mention.
 Her pastor,
 R. A. ROBERTSON.

restoration Of Belgium by Germany
was an imperative preliminary to any
peace proposals, it Is understood In
