SECOND BAPTIsT NOTES

Sunday begins our new Association year at the End. Baptist church. Let each one of us start and with a new determination to do more for the cause of Christ than ever before.
 We will make this one of the most prosperous years in the history of the church if each member will do their duty.
 Each one of us should strive to do our duty, because when we have done this, God only calls it reasonable service and one sweet day we will more than be paid for what we have done for the Lord in this life. We will be glad for everybody who can to attend our services.

MADE DAY ONE OF MOURNING
How American Citizens in 1908 Ex-
pressed Their Dsapprobation Of
"Embargo" Order on Commerce.

embargo day" as an event in
American history, occurred in 1903,
growing out of the embargo placed
on foreign trade in 1907. A war was
then going on in Europe and owing
to persistent interferences with
American commerce it was decided
to place an embargo on foreign COM
merce of all kinds. In December,
1902, President Jefferson sent a spe-
clal message to congress recommend
ing the absolute prohibition of for
eign trade OF any kind. American
ships we're not to be permitted to
sail from any port of the United
States. The enforcement of the
embargo created widespread confu-
sion, losses and distress and when it
had been in force about year the
opponents of the administration APP
pointed December 20, 1903, as day
Of general mourning, to be called
Embargo day." This was the ami
versary of the passage of the en-
barge act, December %, 1907. The
day was duly celebrated at the ship
ping ports Of New England and in
other parts of the country with cere-
monies typical of mourning and dis
tress. Ships lying idle in the har-
bors displayed flags at halfmast and
professions Of sailors with crepe on
their arms, marched in the streets to
dismal music.

TO CLEAN CURTAINS
Certain Methods Must Be Adhered to
If 1t Is to Be Successful.

Time is needed to make home cur
tain-cIeaning a success. Pins are also
needed-and many of them. Clean the
curtains in pure soapsuds and then
rinse them gently IN clear, lukewarm
water. Dry them. Then starch them
in starch colored to give them their
original tone, and then pin them out
to dry.
If the curtains were originally pure
white, blue the starch, rather deeply.
This will give the curtains a blue
white look that they had when fresh.
If they are cream-colored use tea In
the starch to get the right tone, and
If they are deep ecru, use coffee to
give the desired color.
Dry the curtains on sheets stretched
out on a carpet that is tackled down
If you possess such thing. If not,
stretch the sheets out on heavy rug
and pin them into place. Then pin the
curtains with the innumerable pins to
the SneetS.
If you have an unused mattress in
sunny room, spread sheet over it and
pin the curtains to that. Then be sure
to air the mattress thoroughly, so that
any dampness from the curtains will
dry thoroughly.
The best way to wash curtains Is to
shake them as nearly free from dust
as possible and soak them iE tub half
full of tepid water in which half a
pound of pure soap has been dissolved.
In the morning squeeze them fairly
dry and place them in tub full Of
very hot water to which a tablespoon
full of borax and enough dissolved soap
to make strong suds are added.
When they seem clean, after splash
ing them about in this water, rinse
them thoroughly, until there Is no
trace OF suds or dirt. Then squeeze
them gently dry. Let them dry thor
Oughly on the grass or hang them over
a line to dry. Then starch them.

DON'T Be A GRUMBLER

Don't be grumbler. Some
people contrive to get hold of the
prickly side of everything: to run
up against the sharp corners,
and find out all the disagreeable
things. Half the strength spent
in growing would often set things
right. You may as we'll make up
your mind, to begin with, that
no one ever found the world as he
would like it: but you are to take
your share of the troubles, and
bear them bravely. You will be
very sure to have troubles laid
upon you that belong to other
people, unless you are a shirk
yourself, but don't grumble. If
the work needs doing, and you
can do it, never mind about the
other person who ought to have
done it and didn't. Those work.
ers who fill up the gaps and
smooth away the rough spots,
and finish up the jobs others
leave undone, they are the true
peacemakers, and worth a whole
lot of GROWERS.

The great American peanut is broad
ening its empire. The crop grows even
faster than the peanut-eaters multiply.
The demand which bulges at county
fairs and Baseball games and joys
along steadily in every town and ham
let all the year through is not equal to
the increased supply But the pea
nut does not suffer. The oil industry
balances the score, says Cleveland
Leader. The nuts the millions of pea
nut-eaters don't eat eansbe swallowed
easily by the mills which make pea
nut Oil and peanut meal. The oil is
a welcome and very good addition to ]
the food supply of the country. THIS
meal gets the same end less direct
~. Cattle and swine eat it and then
they are eaten in turn. This year Texas
alone expects to make about 10000 bar 4
rels of peanut Oil. There will be 49,
900 tons of peanut meal as side prod \
uct. These figures will doubtless bel
far surpassed before long. Ultimately
a great deal of soap may be made In
the United States, as it is in France{
and other countries of Europe, with
peanut oil as one of it's ingredients.f
So the peanut is not only holding itsf
own, but widening it's field of useful !
ness. 1t is one of the products oil
American agriculture which are as5
promising as they are popular.

because we missed the golden moment
when it was in our minds we have
