Whether you frolic with comrade

Or sit at your studies or play with

Whatever your station or place or

For just one purpose God sent you
here.
And always and ever you are to me,
Dear little Mothers of Men to be.
So would guard you from all mean
things;
From the dwarfing of wealth and
from poverty's stings;
And from silly mothers of fuss and
And from dissolute fathers whose
aims are low
l would take you and shield you and
set you free,
Dear little Mothers of Men to be.
And then were the wish of my heart
faithful,
Around about you the world should
build
A wall Of Wisdom, with Truth for it's
Tower,
Where mind and body would war in
power
Till the tender twig was a splendid
tree,
Dear little Mothers of Men to be.
1t is only a dream; but the world
grows wise,
And mighty truth in the dream seed
That shall gladden. the earth in its
time and place;
We must better the Mothers to better

THE FLAG OF
THREE SAINTS,

The war has taught the people of
the United States a good deal about
flags. The display of bunting in
bidding welcome to the various for
eign missions which have visited
this country has involved the use of
the flag of each particular nation
represented by our visitors; and so
the residents of our larger cities, at
least, have become familiar with the
ensigns of Franco, Great Britain,
and Italy.
In some instances the red flag of
the British mercantile marine has
been displayed instead of the COM
posite British Union Jack, which is
preferable as being the army flag end
that usually flown from government
buildings. The mistake was a ma
tural one, since Americans are more
familiar with the red ensign, from
seeing it on British merchant ships,
1t bears small Union Jack in the
upper left-hand corner, correspond
ing to the place occupied by the
stars on the American flag.
The British Union Jack may we'll
be described as the Flag of Three
Saints.
The flag of England is st. Georges
cross, rectangular and red, on
white ground
The flag of Ireland is st. Patrick's
cross, diagonal and red, on a white
ground
The flag of Scotland is st. An
drew's cross. diagonal and white on
blue ground.
These three are combined in the
British Union Jack, so as to make a

surprise to his many friends.
The talks by the different members
of the League were teeming with ex-
presions of love and appreciation for
the dear pastor who has labored
among us so faithfully, and who is so
soon to leave.
His beautiful response touched the
hearts of all present. He leaves hosts
of friends in Cordele whose love and
sympathy will follow him in his new
field of labor. Young and old united
in bidding him God speed, and in
wishing that he, his wife and little
ones may find health, happiness. and
great usefulness in their distant
home.
This farewell occasion will long be
remembered in Cordele.

the evening at four tables, presided

TIMELY NOTES ON BEAUTY
SPOTS

If your lawn is larger than you can
care for properly, plan to have 1t of
suitable size next year, by filling in
with thrifty, hardy growers that will
take care of themselves.
Don't neglect to drop few seeds
of perennials In the bare places this
month for bloomers next year. Seed
lings cost but little money, while plants
are expensive. Many beautiful things
can be raised from a package Of mixed
seeds of perennials.
Now is good time to plan changes
in the border and the flower garden as
one can see the mistakes in planting
the tall growers in front Of the low
ones; in grouping Unmatched plants
and mixing inharmonious colors. Keep
note book and pencil in hand.
In arranging the home lot, whether
for fruit, shade or ornament, plant the
tallest growers well to the rear, grad
ing down to the lowest or creeping
things, letting the rows run east tt
west, that all may have the sunshine
They can thus be seen to the best ad
vantage, and prove joy to the be
holder.

Why He Left.

The large, fiorid gentleman at the
movie threw down his program in very
evident disgust, and as he ground our
toes on his way out, we heard him
mutter something. The seat he had
left was better than ours, so we moved
over into it, wondering what could
have set the old man off so. In about
minute we found out. In the row
just behind sat a young man and a
young woman, both grown. AS the he
70 flashed across the screen, the man
said:
"Oh, dere he is. Bwess his heart.

A Test of Friendship.

Andy Foster, well-known charac-
ter in his native city, had recently
shuffied off this mortal coil in deSti-
tute circumstances, although in his
earlier days he enjoyed financial pros
perfty.
A prominent merchant, an old friend
Of the family, attended the funeral and
was visibly affected as he gazed for
the last time on his old friend and as
sociate.
The mourners were cOnspicuously
few in number and some attention was
attracted by the sorrowing merchant,
''The old gentleman was very dear to
your? ventured one of the bearers af-
ter the funeral was over.
Indeed, he was" answered the
mourner. candy was one true friend.
He never asked me to lend him a cent,
though knew that he was practically
starving to death."-Harper's Maya

shade you need and your window will
be as attractive to the eye, from out
side, as it is pleasant to the occupant
of the room.
The good old nasturtium makes an
excellent veranda box plant, because
1t will droop if allowed to, and will at
the same time, cover the surface of
the box with it's pleasing foliage and
richly colored flower. The petunia is
another most excellent plant for this
purpose, because of its combination
he5it of upright and dropping growth
and its profuse Towering. Candytuft,
lobelia, and sweet alyssum are all
free-fowering plants Of decided droop-
ing habit, and can be made very effec-
tive as an edging of these boxes.
If one does not care to make use of
upward growing vines as a screen,
tall plants with luxuriant foliage, like
the Gamma can be used instead with
very satisfactory results.
The children will take great delight
in growing plants from seed and should
be given boxes of their own in which
to conduct their experiments.

Two Historic Lexinutons.

The city of Lexington, KY, was
named from Lexington, Mass, in 1775,
by a party of hunters who were en-
camped on the site Of the town when
they received the news Of the battle
Of Lexington. The battle occurred
April 20, 1775, but some months may
have elapsed before the Kentucky
hunters heard of it. Lexington was
laid out in 1881, incorporated as town
in 1882, and the first newspaper pub
lished west Of the Allegheny noun
tains was started there in 1887 to pro
mote the separation Of Kentucky from
Virginia. This was not accomplished
till 1T90.

While almost all lilies do better if
planted in the fall, there are some va
rieties, notably the Japanese, which
do not reach this country until the
ground is frozen. However, they can
be planted even in December If you
prepare the bed as follows:
Dig the bed deep (two feet) and ma
nure heavily, using well rotted manure,
and mix thoroughly. When the bed is
ready, cover it with foot or two of
fresh manure. This will keep the
ground from freezing. Lily bulbs de-
