We had a fine rain last Sunday
which was badly needed. Corn had
began to hurt pretty badly but this
insures us of hog and hominy. 1t put
new life and vigor in the cotton
which was in fine state of cultiva-
ton and promises fine crop. The
cotton plant is 20 days late here, on
account of the cold spring, but when
we get good rain or two the latter
part of June we always make a good
cotton crop.
The threshers are humming in this
section. Your uncle started Sam
and Archie out with two wagons and
teams last week with the thresher at
$500 per day and their feed. They
report grain good. Wheat is making
from 90 to 30 bushels per acre, oats
from 65 to 90 per acre. With good
grain crops and good prospects for
corn and cotton and potatoes and all
sorts of vegetables and plenty of hogs
to make our meat and some to spare
and our cows and chicks, we old
farmers are in the swing for once in
life, and but one thing to keep us
from being happy and that is the dark
war cloud; but it is here and let's one
and all do all we can to help in this
great struggle without reflection on
anyone. We need workers instead
of knockers and let's encourage our
soldier boys and ask Gods blessing
on them and our noble president in
this dark hour of troubles. AS for
me and mine we are ready to go
when called on.
Last Sunday was Robert Odell's
birthday. His wife had planned to
surprise him by inviting his uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Whitten,
her father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
n. S. Bracken, and family, her uncle,
A. l.. Bracken, of Dallas, also W.
+. Howard and family and G. l..
Bracken and family. We intended
to make that boy feel bad until we
were unloading our dinner boxes but
that good rain came and prevented
US going and | have been having to
punish myself ever since trying to
eat all of that grub up that Lone Star
and l failed to eat Sunday. l may
get over it but don't feel like now
that | ever will look like anything
after this.
Say, Mr.. Editor, you Marion Coun-
ty folks on the bond business are like
Pat was when he quit drinking taper
and is the biggest, isn't it. You fell
lows quit voting $l50,O0O and do like
us Texans are doing, Go it 81 ,5OO,-
600 at dip and then those fellows
will not be bothering you twice a
year as they are now. So my advice
to you is vote a million dollar bond
instead of 100000 and see how
quick 1t will shut their mouths, for
it is going to take $2,000,OOO to ever
make all the roads that Is needed in
that county and you had just as well
swallow it now as to wait until you
are so weak you can not swallow and
then have it showed down your throat.
If you will bond the county for 81
100000 and use them in the right
way and everybody get busy and do
his duty to himself and his neighbor
and his statesmen and build good
roads and quit looking thru blue eye
glasses and put on PAIR of clear un-

Ex-SERvlCE MEN

To the editor of the Sentinel
While our law makers and others
interested IN military preparedness
are wondering why We are having
such difficulties IN securing recruits
for the army, many things are
allowed which tend To- work against
securing thinkin. men
Take, for instance. the Officers
and cmplovcs at the 10 National
soldiers homes. Most of the posi-
tons are filled by civilians who have
never seen military or naval service.
The regulations provide that Ia he
come u member Of one of these
homes. it disabled. one must have nm
honorable discharge from the military
or naval service of the United States.
Why should not the employees he gov
crncd by the same regulations VIII
not men who would make desirable
recruits for the army ask them
selves why it l. that the government
does not give eX-service men the
preference for these appointments!
Will ,hev not also reason that II they
gel no consideration after they are
ont of the service. they had better
not get into it! The United Spanish
War Veterans aud kindred orean-
cations are much Interested IN u
movement io see that cN-s2rvicc men
gel some recognition. The following
facts are presented:
All legislation affecting the Sol
diers' home is passed as proviso to
the sundry civil bill

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY

\ its name implies the Young
Men Christian association is an or
ganlzatlon founded upon the teach
.ings of Christianity a. accepted, in
the main, from the lessons drawn
from the Bible While this is true.
and while the influences sought to he
thrown around those who become
members i for the moral and spiri
iual uplii't the practical side of life
is never lost sight OF. While the m
tellectual is appealed to. the physical
l. not overlooked. While pleasant
homes are bought and paid for in the
larger cities, the smaller towns are
moi altogether forgotten. When the
time comes for action, the Y. VI. e..
\. is usually alert and ready and the
results of their team work are quick
" discerniblc. They do not stand
upon the order of their going. nor
do seemingly insurmountablc obsta-
cles interfere with the end To be- ac-
complshed.
The work of this organization dur
ng the European war and the mo-
biliaalion of the troops on the Mexi-
can border is worthy Of the greatest
possible praise and commentator.
Throughout the long months since the
spurred boot Jared the world, this
association has held together for the
service 1t could give to humanity.
H. international committees are com.
posed of German. French, British,
Italian and other nationaliiies. but
not one of them has been dissolved.
The hatred which entered the hearts
of men opposed to each other in this
terrible strife did not break down the
ideals of these earnest men. They
saw humanity suffering and they did
everything IN their power to alleviate
that suffering. Everywhere they were
Ia he found, good Samariians that
they are. Their work is continually
cxempifying the true spirit of broth
crhood in the army camps, in the
trenches and IN the prison pens.
Religious exercises there NAV be,
are. engaged in at frequent
intervals; but this is not the primary
object of the field work of the asso-
citation. They are at the front for
relief work, and though in some coun-
tries. as among the Moroccan Mo-
hammedans, they are forbidden to
the name of Christ, they are
just as Jealous in their activities as
they are in America. BY their acts
they teach the great lesson Of the
of God and the Brother
hood of Man. To those in the ranks
far from home and its comforts they
have taken places for rest. recreation.
writing. sleeping. eating. amusements
and exercise. OF all the faiths of
humankind. this is the only one that
has made its deeds square with its
at time of world wide hui
