Fourth.-How did these four men sue
coed?
With a few preliminary remarks as
introduction to the subjects in hand,
DR.. Cooper spoke, in part, as follows:
Christ was preaching in Caper-
naum and healing every manner of
sickness and disease among the peo-
pie. Great crowds were attracted to
him. There was one poor fellow who
was sick, paralyzed and could not
walk. Four good fellows took his
case in hand and decided to carry him
on his pallet to the place where Jesus
was Their job was to get him in
touch with the fireat Healer and Saw
ior. This is the greatest job on earth
for any man or set of men-to get
their fellows in touch with the Savior.
Oh, the multitudes of men in every
city and all over the world who are
without God and hopeless in their
weakness and sins. Their immortal
interests are being neglected by them
selves and overlooked by men who
ought to help them. They are delay
ing the eternal interests of their i'm
mortal souls in a world that is filed
with death and they are liable to be
called to eternity any moment. There
is a ceaseless call from God for men
to help their fellows, sinking in an
guish because they are weak and ig-
norant. Where there is one man on
the job our Savior could put one hun
dred more at work and give them
plenty to do for the rest of their lives.
Here is continuous employment and
good pay under the very best Master.
Christ must have help or the work
will not be done. The Job is ours to
do. These four men are representa-
tive OF the whole church of God on
earth. Let US, my brothers, catch a
vision of the task assigned us here in
our own city. Are our hearts so cold

A tickling in the nose, slight
sniffle-may be the forerunner-the
first sign of a cold, or, it may be a
sneeze or a shiver or chills down the
back or dryness of the throat.
A dose of "Seventy-seven" at the
first appearance of any OF these con
ditions will give the best results.
If you wait until your bones begin
to ache, have sore throat and pains
in your chest, have a temperature
and are sick abed, 1t VIII take longer;
the recovery will be slower, but "Sev-
enty-seven" breaks up hard, stubborn
colds that hang on and do not yield
to treatment.
"Seventy-seven" contains nothing
harmful nor injurious and leaves no
bad after effects.

and dead, so surfeited with the love
of money and pleasure, so submerged
with loyeliness that we cannot see and
do not care? May God revive us.
The task of these four men, like all
other duties, had its difficulties. The
poor man was very sick and helpless.
He could not walk step and had no
means of transportation. Others, per-
haps, had hobbled along the way and
met Jesus, but he was left helpless
behind. If someone did not lend a
helping hand, hope must die in his
heart. These four men got busy on
the Job, each one a-nold on a corner
of the pallet on which the sick man
lay. 1t was not a very slightly pro-
cession through the crowded streets
of that great city. But they hit the
trail, little caring what people said
or how it looked to others. But when
they reached the place where Jesus
was teaching they round the house
overfiowing, the yard was full and
the streets were crowded with a mass
Of humanity. 1t seemed a hopeless
quest, and that their mission must
fail. Their charge was weak and
faint from the journey but these brave
fellows forced way through the
throngs and scaled the steps on the
outside of the house 10 the roof. But
even then there was no chance to
lower the man down in front where
Jesus could see him. So they were
face to face with a third difficulty
And so it is always. Every job has
its difficulties. How hard it is to gel
some poor fellows into the presence OF
Jesus. We cannot hope to name them
all One man was sinned against be
fore he was born and mas had to fight
a hell within himself from his earliest
days. Another has gone so far astray
that it seems hopeless for him to cal
on God. Another has burnt out his

Friday night, owing TO the threat
ening aspect of the weather the con-
gregation was not as large as ex-
pected at the Broadway Baptist church
to hear DR.. Cooper's address to men,
but those who were present were
deeply interested in hrs subject which
left a profound impression upon all
who were fortunate enough to heart it.
In prefacing his remarks, Dr. Coop
er stated that the three meetings just
passed were but preliminary to the
work to begin in reaf earnest with
today's services, both morning and
evening He has been merely feeling
out the situation and organizing for
the real work to begin now and con-
tinue for the next two weeks.
His subject Friday night was -Four
Men on the job" ana the text was
taken from Mark, 2-5. This was di-
vided into four themes: First, what
was the job on which these men en-
gagged? Second-Whur were the diff
ficulties in the way; Third.-What
was the quality of their faith? and

A hard-fought contest, replete with
good playing on the part of both terms
resulted Friday Qt was the 18th in
the defeat OF the ArGmore team by
the Sulphur deaf mutes. The score
was 21-12. At no time during the
game was 1t evident that either had
the advantage, SO evenly matched
were the teams. Sulphur scored first
in the first quarter with touchdown
and goal for points, TO be followed
almost at once by a touchdown by
Ardmore for 6 points. In the next
quarter, Sulphur gained the coveted
goal for points. Ardmore followed,
as before, with a touchdown, but fail
ed to kick goal, bringing her points
to II. Not until the final quarter was
almost finished did either side
threaten its opponents goal to any
great extent. Then Sulphur's big In
dian player. with the proverbial fleet
ness of the redman, succeeded in run
ming around end and down the field
for a thirty-yard run to a touchdown
and goal for the last points Of the
game.

During the past week all High school
students have been required to make
a schedule of their study hours, both
at home and at school. When these
daily programs have been carefully
examined by the teachers, It will be.
come easy to advise a pupil as to
whether or not he Is spending the
proper amount of time studying any
particular subject or subjects. Coop
Grafton with parents in helping the
pupils to do their best work will also
be facilitated. 1t has been found after
careful Investigation that home study
in too many cases has been slighted.
The new plan for going into the daily
life of the pupil, 1t is thought, will
remedy this defect. In due time, II
is the intention Of the teachers TO con.
suit with the parents regarding the
falthfulness with which the students
follow their own schedules. The bet
ter scholastic standing Of A. II. S.
resulting will be a source OF gratif-
cation to all concerned-pupils, pa.
irons and teachers.
The speaker Of the week was Rev.
Welch OF the Broadway Methodist
church. His theme was aspiration.
He lauded success in any endeavor OF
life, but pointed out TO his audience
that no success is real unless founded
on character. To build a great char
acter for ones self is to lay the corner
stone Of success. Without such a ba-
sis for life, the whole structure Of a
mans life must in the end crumble
to nothingness. Character be said,

THE CARE OF FERNS DURING
THE WINTER MONTHS

Many persons believe that because
Hild ferns Gie down in winter they
cannot be made to grow anywhere
during the cold months. The fern is,
however, one of the most satisfactory
of winter plants. 1t may be grown
with other plants in the indoor win
dow boxes, or may be cultivated
in pots to furnish greenery about the
house.
The soil: The best soil for ferns
is leaf mold and sand but any light,
spongy soil made porus and crumbly
with sharp sand will do. Ferns will
grow we'll in the house, but unless
one has had experience it is we'll to
use the Boston fern or the Sword
fern. These are beautiful, give
wealth of foliage, and are hardy.
Culture: Success in fern culture
comes from giving them the condi-
tions they would have had in their
native health. Whatever the variety,
they require moist air, which IS the
reason tnat ferns grow so much bet
ter in such places as kitchens or bar
Der shops, than in sitting rooms and
schoolhouses.
Spraying them with small water
ing pot or sprayer will help tine ferns
to keep fresh and green. Ferns, as
rule, prefer a fine spray, rather than
a deluge. Never let the fern get
thoroughly dry. If such should hap
pen, stand it above the roots in a
bucket of water for an hour or two,
and the plant will frequently recover
On the other hand, do not let the
ground get soggy or it will become
sour and the roots weak and diseased.
Have good drainage and the water

tiesadvise keeping the plants out of
the sun.

the real pleasures and profits of an
expensive summer outing.
Mount Mitcnell, from which the
park take its name, is one of the
grandest upheavals on the Western
Hemisphere. It's summit is lifted 6,
III feet into sky of deepest azure. It
is the loftiest peak in Eastern North
America For ages it has stood in pri-
meval solitude and solemn grandeur,
while above and around and beneath,
the clouds have swept and storms
have raved.
From its top is disclosed a panor-
ANA Of scenery of surprising beauty.
Below, nature has riven great gorges
and built everlasting cliffs; and the
neighboring peaks of the Black noun
tains, many of them ranging above
six thousand feet and clad in the dark,
rich green OF the balsam, rank worthi-
ly with the giant Mitchell. Across
The marvellous Assneville plateau, of an
average altitude of 1900 feet, is the
summit of the Blue Ridge, where such
wonderful peaks as the Dome, the
Pinnacle and the Bulls Head toss
their tops into the sky, and, in the
purpling distance, are such noun
tain wonders as Table Rock, Roan
Grandfather, Tennessee Bald, Pisgah
and scores of others, which
Loom grander far than any sea-"
In the opening to the people of the
Mount Mitchell national park, the
government has conferred no greater
blessing upon the nature lovers of
the United States, and it is expected
by the forest service, in cooepratioD
with the Southern railway, to make it
one of the most convenient and de-
lightful pleasure resorts in the world.

FARM INSURANCE POLICY FOR
UNCERTAIN MARKET CONDITIONS

/. A home garden for every family
to provide vegetables as near as pos
sible the year round and additional
ground for a plot of potatoes, either
Irish or Sweet, or both. Raise sor-
gnum or cane enough for the syrup
of the family.
2. Produce the corn necessary to
support the family. and the live stock
on the farm for year with absolute
certainty.
3. Produce the necessary oats or
other small grain to supplement the
corn as food and for winter grading.
4. Produce enough hay and forage
to supply all your livestock for a
year. In doing so don't forget the
legumes because they produce hay
and also enrich the soil.
5. Produce enough chickens and
hogs to supply the meat for the fam
lily. Increase your other livestock
gradually but insure your meat sup
ply with these.
In other words, produce your liv-
ing first. That is the best insurance.

vised by practically all the agricul-
tural forces in the country to provide
these things as an emergency. When

How to Save Wear on Auto Brakes.
In the March Woman's Home Com
panion C. H. Claudy the automobile
expert says:
Remember that gradual applica-
ton of power, whether from engine or
from brakes, sayes wear. Wnen you
stop, push out the clutch hund
yards off, cut down the throttle,
coast to your stopping place, wiz
the brakes applied gently. Don't comGl
down steep hills using brakes alone.
Continued use heats and wears them.
Slow up at the top, slip into second
gear, and cut off the ignition current.
The engine acts as a brake or drag.
Gravity, pulling the car down, turns
the engine rapidly, and it resists. On
extremely steep, rough hills, use first

HOG-RAISING HINTS.
Disadvantages of Low Market May Be
overcome by Timely Breeding
and Good Care,

The low prices received for nogs
during the past year have been discour
aging to some hog raisers of the
country. The hog should be a pay
ing animal. He requires less labor,
less equipment, less capital, makes
greater gains on 100 pounds Of con-
centrates, reproduces himself faster
than any ether farm animal. The fact
remains, however, that prices paid
for nogs are low and dtscouraging.
In spite OF these prices the animal
that possesses the above advantages
can still lift mortgages for his owner
If the latter Will study and apply some
ct the fundamental principles under
dying the BUSINESS.
To begin with, the best can be made
of a poor market by having the hogs
ready at the time when they are most
wanted by that market. This nor
mally occurs during the spring and
again during early fall. The Septem-
Der and October market is usually the
higaest. How can the farmer take ad
vantage Of these facts to the greatest
degree2 In the first place, the hog
wanted by the market usually runs be-
tween 175 and 225 pounds. Fortunate
ly this is the most economical weight
at which to dispose of the nog. Up to
this point his gains are made very
cheaply. Beyond 800 pounds it is
doubtful if under general conditions
feeding can be made profitable bus
iness, The hog, if properly fed, can
readily be put upon the market at 20
pounds in six or seven months. There
fore have the pigs for the September
market dropped in the later part of
February or during March This will
require that the breeding of the sows
begin about the latter part of October
or November first, continuing, if nee
ressary, during the first week in De-
eember.
The pigs for April market should
be dropped in early September. These
pigs can then be weaned before the
November breeding season starts. To
have the pigs dropped in September
it Will be necessary to breed ne sowS
during May or early June. Under GER !
tais conditions it may be impossible !
TO bring hogs to the 200-pound mark /
at six months; however, a great ef-
Eurt should be made to attain this goal
as time means money and the longer
hogs are neld the greater Will be tie
fz.bor and overhead charges. The cost
or iced for maintenance also will be
increased.
Further, in connection with the re-
lation of markets to hog raising, It
will be noticed in going over the his
tory of some of the leading markets .
for the last ten years or so that there
is a recovery every two to four years
It might be we'll, therefore, to remem-
Der that this is a poor time to close
out. as a reaction may be expected and
the wise farmer will be ready wnen it
arrives.
