THE HIRED MAN

The Hired Man thinks it would be
a most splendid plan for every church |
in Canyon county that has any idea |
that God will pay attention to their
petitions, to get list of all soldier |
boys the county has sent away, and |
each Sunday morning and evening |
have its pastor pray for them individ- |
ually by name, even mentioning their |
middle names if they have. | should |
consider any regular church service |
an absolute failure unless it held these
brave fellows up to the throne OF |
God continually. Our country church
es should fall into line with this |
prayer service, and all our churches in
the midweek prayer meeting should |
also pray for the sons who have en-
dangered their lives for us. There
should be several cardinal points
covered by this shield: God should |
be petitioned to be a constant COM
tortor and an ever present help to all
mothers and sisters and sweethcartS,
soothing portion to father and bro
Their and to be a rock in the time of
storm. For the soldiers He should
be asked to be a shadow in weary |
land. If some must dic-and die they |
must regardless of our prayers, ask
God to let them off for past sins and
present errors. Then | don't know but
that He will even spare their lives
| in answer to the prayers of county.
| know if / were mother or sister
| should not hesitate to ask Him to
let them return alive. If you know
one who is hayward, pray for his
moral repairing and spiritual upheav-
al Then after you have done all, then
do not forget to pray for those Next
can sons, for we are into this matter
now in way that Mexico's woe is
sure to come from the slaughter Of
her men and boys. Once again the
truth comes to the surface and here
it is: Without the shedding of blood
there is no remission of sins"
One day last week great big
spotted bird dog put his front feet on
the basins of the street fountain on
the corner by the Commercial bank
and swilled down a handsome drink
He was not timid about licking the
fellow one day, innocent enough,
take the same piece clear into his
mouth and shut down on it until his
tears commenced to surge. Wei, the
dog enjoyed a good drink, gave the
mouth piece one last good wipe with
his long tongue, and then went on
his way satisfied. don't suppose the
dog had any disease worse than some
people who drink there, but Id just
little rather the dogs would cut II
out for the summer. Last year some
body had dog who made his regu-
/, lar visits to this fountain and re-
called himself splendidly and appeared
to understand that slobberir on the
mouth piece was permissible. | saw
little tot of girl the other day lit
/ her hitler and fatter chubby brother
! I'D to this fountain, and balance him
: across his tummy over the edge OF
the basin and hold his legs while he
sucked and blubbered away ferocious-
lv until his wind was dying out in
, his bellows. He got what he was after
however and went away rejoicing
We Just cannot get along without
=. these street fountains.
=, The Hired Man don't see why some
+ energetic young farmer doesn't plant
! cranberry field in this party OF the
country. | know of a marsh that
. would be superb and could be bought
;. right, for it is worth but little for
c anything else. l think man can
4 make $4,000 an acre on cranDerrleS
q and hire much of the work done;
V believe the market in this baiiWicF
, would use three acres of berries: ne
p cranberry makes the finest jelly II
\ the land and it is good too. 4o'
: could make your jelly bodies OF Gran
+ berries and then faint it with any sor
# of syrup you desired giving It al
r havors. Any time the market did no
:. use up all your crop, you could jelly
v what was left and could dispose o
:, your jelly at a profitable figure, ant
h YOU could take two or three years t.
e do so if necessary. You can write t.
q Wa arlington and get some circular
O on the business, and then you can sem
\ off for your planting stock and tn
rs first thing you know you VIII be
a. real live cranberry merchant and d.
Ie we'll.
