Short School for Corn
 and Pig Club Members
 in Morgan is Success

Auburn. November 29.-(Special) A feature in the corn and pig club work in Alabama this month, accord ing to Ira Kerlin. state agent in charge of corn clubs, was the short school for Morgan county club mem- bers which was recently held at Hartselle.
 There were 106 boys in attendance at the three-days school and the suc- cess of the work was largely due to the assistance of James T. High, Nor gan county demonstration agent. "The boys were very much interested in the work" says Mir. Kerlin, "and the school was conducted as regular public school. The entire school was given lessons and instruction in corn in all it's relations. Special stress was laid on fall preparation for their acres, field selection of the seed corn, and the proper cultivation of their prize acres. A judging contest was held in connection with the school and eight prizes were given to the best judges of corn, the capital being a s1O pure bred pig"
 The boys were entertained Tor the three days by the people of Hart selle, and visits from principals of schools, bankers. business men and county commissioners showed the in terest of the people of the county.

SIN OF GLUTTONY

Qssued by United States Public Health
 Service)
 Dog fanciers have long noted that when a house dog begins to get fat and wheezy it is pretty apt to be attacked by a stub born skin disease. In such a case they cut down the diet and increase the open air exercise, thus relieving the over burdened body of poisonous substances.
 The sin of gluttony is common and therefore much condoned, but like every other violation of natures laws has a penalty. Fat ineffciency, sluggish men, tality, the reddened nose, the pimpled face, certain of the chronic skin erup- tions and much fatigue and nervousness are due to the abuse of the digestive ap- paratus Rich indigestible foods in large quantities, highly seasoned to stimulate the jaded palate, are forced into a body already rebellious from repleton. Exer- else is largely limited to walking to and from the table and bodily deterioration proceeds rapidly. Many an overfed dyspeptic, suddenly dragged by the stern hand of circumstances from a life of physical ease and plenty and forced to work out of doors, suddenly discovers that his semi-invalidism has gone, that a chronic skin Arrangement of many years standing has disappeared and that a new vigor and zest of life has been given him.
 Not everyone can spend his whole time in the open air, but a certain amount of exercise and plain, wholesome food in an amount not exceeding the body's needs can be had by almost everyone. Simple, moderate diet and exercise make for health. These are not faddish food the ories. They are just plain common sense

THANKSGIVING
Bv ROSA CLIsBy JOHN

Much has been written on the first na- tional Thanksgiving in America as hav- ing been in 1921 at the first harvest in New England, when really our first Thanksgiving was on May 10, 1610, at Jamestown, Va.
 With the war with the Indians the number of colonists decreased from 490 to 50, they having literally starved to death. The arrival of the wrecked Cap tain Gates and his companions was eel ebrated by the thankful starved colo nists with thanksgiving and prayer.
 As we turn from those brave men and women and their hardships. we have req son for individual, as well as national, thanksgiving in this year of 1916, when proud and prosperous America stands as the foremost nation of the world in wealth and peace
 When the old. world rang with news of Americas gold and fertile lands, the few strong men and women were eager to brave the perils of the wild country to add to their treasures, so the wild man and beasts were driven back with the steel of civilization, and new world arose with her millions of men and women whose towers of civilization pierce the skies and reflect the glorious light of the sun.
 Now America looks beyond her boun- daries to the bood-stained fields of Eu- rope, and her great throbbing heart means with the afflicted ones of the war, responds with an eager, full sym pathy, shares her vast treasures of sil- yer and gold with her sister country in her hours of affliction and pain. Thus the opportunity comes to enlarge Amer ica's vision and soul.
 With a President of stainless character rare ability and poise a heart of sym pathy for all suffering nations, the United States good and safety are assured, and the men and women will kneel in prayer with devout hearts to the Allwise Giver of this, our free land and. home.
 Shall men of wealth make for them selves special privileges, misuse their power, while labor's host-that mighty army that made the wealth,-"take but the single unit as it's wager"
 God raises men for special times of need and strain, endowing them with tal- ents akin to those of the Divine Son, so we think MT. Wilson is where God in His infinite wisdom saw fit to place him. to blaze a road for justice, to hold the torch of civilization that man may see heavenward and learn of the brotherhood of Christ.
