MISSION STUDY CIRCLE

The Mission Study Glass met
at the First Presbyterian Chur-
ch the last Tuesday in January
at 2::30 to discuss Home Mis-
sions as Sources of Power" p"
This chapter finished the Pres
ent book. To say that we have
all been greatly benefited, and
inspired to deeper convictions,
and greater desires to do mis-
sionary service, is telling the
effect that this book has had
upon the class. This last chap
ter was the climax of the whole
two months study, teaching us
of Christ as the Great Mission
ary. giving us greater desires
to seek a new realization and
understanding of His charac-
ter and purpose, and for what
He lived.
Our next book will be a For
eign Missionary study-"The
Kings Highway" The first
lesson in this new book will be
had on Feb. Is, at $3.50, at the
First Presbyterian Church.
We will be glad to have wo-
men or girls, who will, to join
the class. Mrs. o. D. Massa or
Mrs. G. e. Wilson will order
your book.

perennial vegetables and fruit

perennial vegetables and fruits
is insisted on at the end of the
third year, and in many cases
the work is begun at the end OF
the second year. The peren-
malls are substituted for some
of the annual vegetables and
the girls are given credit for
the condition of their bushes
or trees which are not yet bear
ing and therefore do not yet
yield a product that can be
counted in the canning score.
tits hoped that as a result OF
this planting Of perennial fruit
and vegetables several thous-
and girls, before many years,
will have at the end OF their
junior garden permanent gar
dens containing some such pro-
fitable combinations as the fol-
lowing:
Strawberries, asparagus, and
cherries. Raspberries, rhu-
barb, and plums. Gooseber-
ries, currants, and peaches.
STRAWBERRIES, asparagus, and
ounces. Strawberries, rhu..
barb, and pears. Dewberries,
figs, and pecans. Currants, as
paragus, and grapes. Black
berries, figs, and scuppernongs.
Strawberries, figs, and oranges.
Asparagus, strawberries, and
kumquats.
To enable them to use the
products Of these permanent
gardens. the agents give the
girls special instruction in max
ing preserves, jelly, marmalad-
es, pickles, etc.

The putting on of the degree
work is stimulating interest in

ritual the " ork is beautiful and
impressive. Several candida
tes stand awaiting ADOPTION as
neighbors, so there are pros
poets of more of this work for
several weeks. Every neigh
Dor should make it a point to
come out every Tuesday night.
The year 1915 closed with a.
bout one million members in
the M. w. A., and with a sur
plus in the benefit fund of over
twelve million dollars ($12,-
600, ,000.00)-an enormous sum,
and be it remembered that ev-
cry penny of this is used for
paying the death claims of it's
membership. The business
done by this society for only
one month is vast. Take for
example, an average month,
last November, the sum of ST.
1875, ,406.70 was received from
the members, through more
than $4,000 camps; and 567
death claims were paid, amount
ing to $1,003, $4,000.
BY reading the following edi-
torial from the January Mod
ern Woodman Magazine, one
will clearly see that Wood
crafts message is one of SER
vice:
'Nineteen-sixteen dawns bri-
ght with promise for the on
ward march of Modern Wood
men of America in the great
field of benificent effort it has
occupied for 10! these many
years. In no preceding twelve
month period has the world
been so awakened to the neces-
s1ty OF brotherhood among men
The message of our Society is
one of service for mankind, and
that is the message that is pull
sating today in all parts of our
jurisdiction, as a new dawn is
ushered in upon us. Fraterni-
ty, mutual help, mans, depen-
dance upon his kind, are some
OF the things it stands for.
Then there is the genial, red
blooded glow of it's good fellow
ship. The new year will be
better, brighter q with less of
sorrow, less of misery, because
the members of Modern Wood
men of America are good fell
lows. and because it is the mis-.
sion OF our Society to live in a
house by the side of the road
and be a friend to man"

FOUR.YEAR GARDEN
COURSE FOR GIRLS.

To meet the demands OF
thousands of southern girls
who have been successful In
raising a tenth-acre OF toma-
toes and who want to "go on, "
the representatives of the De-
partment of Agriculture and
the State colleges in charge OF
the canning clubs in the fifteen
Southern States have worked
out what might be called a pro-
gressive, four-year practical
garden and canning course for
girls. The purpose OF this
course is to start the girls with
one crop and from year to year
add new annual crops, encour-
age them to run winter and
glass-frame gardens, and final
" in the course of their work
to lead them to Plant perennial
small and orchard fruits. 1t
is hoped that under this system
the girl will gain knowledge OF
how to handle a wide variety
of garden vegetables and trees
and that the member by the
time she gets ready to go to
high school or college will have
a garden of perennial fruits
that readily can be cared for
by other members of her family
The first year of girls club
work throughout the Southern
States consists in raising toma-
toes in tenth-acre gardens. 1t
is believed by those in charge
that every girl should first mas
ter this plant and learn how to
utilize or sell its products be-
fore she takes up other vegeta-
bles and fruits. In sections
where tomatoes suffer from
blight and wilt, however, it is
sometimes necessary to substi-
tute another garden crop.
The second-year girls con-
tinue to Grow tomatoes on one
half of their garden space and
devote the other half OF the
space to one other crop, pref
erably beans, peas, peppers, ok
ra, beets, or onions. The girls
also are encouraged to start
winter gardens in the late sum-
mer and fall on One-fourth to
one-half of the tenth-acre plots
Lettuce, spinach, and kale are
the crops recommended.
The third-year girls grow
three crops, continuing the
two that have been, grown the
second year and adding cucum-
bers, eggplant, fig tomatoes,
satisfy, parsnips, or horserad-
ish. In each case those in
charge of the work select the
additional vegetables with ref
erence to local agricultural
conditions, market demand,
and suitability for canning.
Many garden combinations 9TH
er than those suggested are
possible. For instance, II the
community is interested in can
ming soup mixtures and Creole
sauce, they must secure from
their gardens tomatoes, pep
pers, okra, and onions. In fruit
growing sections the girls are
advised, when conditions are
right, to substitute rrom 5. to
10 fruit trees for one of the
vegetable crops. The member
then becomes responsible for
the pruning, spraying, and gen.
eral care of these trees.

That Cheerful Friend

When all the world seems kind o wrong
And things amt goin' right,
And when you've got the blues so bad,
You'd most give up the fight,
Your cheerful friend comes down the street;
He greets you with these words: by George,
Old chap, your lookin' fne!'
You've simply got to tone up then
No matter how you feel;
The world takes on different look;
smile begins to steal
Across your beaming countenance;
The very air is wine;
You pass on with the knowledge that
by George. you're lookn' fine!''
You soon forget your aches an pains;
1t puts you back in tune;
If there's any better tonic,
It would be earth's greatest boon
The friend who slaps you on the back
With gusto half divine,
And says to you. by George. old chap
You're looking simply fne!'
