ed in the ads. The man who doesn',
keep abreast of the times, especial
ly in his own line, soon falls be-
hind. If you want to know what i
going on in the commercial world OF
today, YOU must read the advertise
ments.
Just an instance: One day last
winter a strong, healthy man came
to door, here in st. Joseph, and
ascked for food, saying he had tried
everywhere but could find no work.
The kind-hearted housewife fed
him. That same evening she told her
husband and he promptly showed
her an advertisement which the
street railway had been running for
some time in the daily papers, Of
fcring employment, but without Sc
curing the men needed.
Such things are happening all the

READ THE ADS

There are several good reasons
why it pays to read the advertise
ments in practically all publications,
SAYS the Fruit-Grower.
To begin with, some of the bralnl-
est and highest paid writers in the
country write advertisements. You
cans possibly get all there is to be
had from the best writer's unless
you read the ads. AS examples of
terse and forceful English, the ad-
vertisements which appear in all
reputable publications cannot be
excelled at the present time.
The space which these advertise
ments occupy costs too much to be
given over to unimportant matters.
The progress of the world in many
lines of endeavor is directly reflect

The value Of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a

of shortening the time required for
carrying a load of produce to market.

Safety First"

As l prepare to write this art icle, just after receiving that pale green card dated June 5, the Ozark band begins playing a certain air to the tune of Dixie the phone rings and a man in Crawford reports the loss of 35 hogs from cholera to about the tune of $350.00.
 So much information has been passed along of late regarding the feed and food situation that l hesitate to add more, but since l am paid to do this and an arti- cle on cholera seems opportune l write the following for your consideration.
 Outbreaks of hog cholera vary greatly in virulence. In some epedemics the virulence is mark ed, and hogs die quickly; in oth- CTS the maj jority of cases assume the chronic type-the hogs do not die so quickly, and the per- centage of loss is not so great.
 In the early symptoms of the disease the hair becomes harsh and dry, the eyes watery, loco- motion becomes weak and ir- regular, with imperfect control of the hind legs. The skin around the Hanks and abdomen may become purple; the skin of the ears frequently becomes in- famed, and if the hog lives for several days. may assume scabby appearance.
 Hog cholera is an infectious disease, and has it's prime origin m a living germ. This germ is probably so small as to be invisi- Die with our best microscopes and capable of passing through d laboratory germ filter, There fore, 1t IS evident that trespass- ing from farm to farm by man, dog, hog, horse, cattle, birds and especially buzzards, may convey these germs to a non-infected nerd; thus it is the epedemic that spreads,
 When an outbreak appears, separate the sick from the we'll ones, and use plenty of lime and sunshine; if favorably disposed, call the county agent and let him help, then order serum and vaccinate, as this is the only pre- ventive once the disease gets started in a herd.
 This IS the time to play safe, if ever there was such time, as all know, but the carelessness and indifference of a few regard ing the sanitary laws and rights of others may be the cause of great loss.

History of Ozark Meth
 odist Sunday School
May 7, 1916, to May 20, 1917.

On May 2, 1916, We reorgan- ized our Sunday School, which was the 43th anniversary. We elected Bro. John Bryan super intendent, Bro. Dave Ford first vic superintendent, and Bro. w. c. Bill second vice-super- intendent: Misses Ellen J IT, nings and Hazel Bryan pianists; Bro. Walter MaXey, secretary, and Bros. Wakefield and Arthur Dupriest, assistants; Bro. M. E.. Conatser, treasurer; T. Moore, historian: and Sister H enry Webb on memorials. l will not give the names of the teachers, as we hear this roll called each Sunday.
 We moved the school to Bro. Holders tent two Sundays, Aug ust 27th and September 3rd. Some way it seemed to have an unfavorable effect on the school. There was a'falling off in num- bers for a while. We had the Star system for a while; but 1t has been abandoned, 1 do not know why, for it did seem to be drawing card.
 We have had five weddings: Miss Willie Bryant and MT. Ed gar Dowell, Miss - Davidson and Mir. Leo. Paul, Miss Bessie Hail and Mir. Olin Travis, Miss FGladdys Dean and Mir. Hill Burns, Miss Clifford McCulloch and Mir. Ira. Hoffstatter.
 We have had quite an addi- tion to the cradle roll. They are littlejRuth Pondergrass, Benham Carter Dangers, James Galway Phillips, Mary Elinor Fender grass, Christine Asilc Stockton, Layman Delbert Williams, Beat rice Childers, May Bell Childers, James Hamilton Archer, Cath erine Louise Burns, Mary Fran cis Dupriest, George Edward Gosnell. Edgar Bryan Dowell.
 The angel of death has visited our immediate ranks only once, taking little Howard Warner, one so promising and bright. We do not wonder that he was transplanted into a lovelier cline.
 Do you remember that the year before this the deaths were little Delbert Walker and Miss Bella Bristow? We would not call them back if we could, for where they are there are no wars or rumors of wars and the tears are all wiped from their eyes. Now. et's remember those who once belonged to our school who have gone home this past year. On June 22 Lee

Davis met such a tragic death by the train. On August r Mr. Holden died at Mulberry. He and his whole family were once. years ago, faithful members of this school. September 18th. Bro. Sammie Howell died at Charleston, we all remember. His fidelity to the school til age. and his affliction forced him to go away. December b, Sister Francis Chew died at Russell vile They are not lost but just gone before.
 On December s Bro. Galloway and his family left for Earle. their new home, taking six ac- tive members from us. We have Bro. LeRoy and family who are most welcome to our church and school.
 December 23, we had our Christmas tree, Christmas com ing on Monday forced us to have our exercises the 23rd instead of the 24th, as is our custom.
 Quite q lot of our boys en- listed in the National Guard and went to the border of the Uni ted States and Mexico. God. in his infinite goodness and mercy. permitted them all to re- turn.
 The war cloud hangs heavy and dark over our beloved coun- try. No one but God knows what the outcome will be. We can not claim as a nation that we have walked blameless be- fore God as did Zachariah and
  Elizabeth. We claim to be a Christian nation. Are we? Are we not sailing under false colors when we license things that are positively forbidden in Gods law. The nations that have for gotten God have been destroyed. May we hope for a better fate? Why does our government, for $25, grant liquor license to a man to sell liquor in dry terri tory, and other things forbidden? :? Our government should be as one family and the head at Washington City should be as fond parents watching to pro- mote the welfare and happiness of the whole people. Whom ever the Lord loveth he chas- teneth. Perhaps we are in for christening, and it is our time to pass under the rod,
 1 fear before the next history is written many of our own will have given their lives for our country which we love so well, with all her imperfections.
 Praying that the time may soon come when we will beat the swords intobplowshares and the spears into pruning hooks and the nations have war no more.
