The preacher asked "How did it come
that you did not keep your eyes closed
during the prayer and continue with
me in the prayer?" To this the speak
or replied Does not the good book
say Watch and Pray"
The same preacher told another in
stance which occurred in one of the
mountain towns in which he held a
passionate. Another church in the town
was having big meeting. This pa
triotic church preached baptism by
immersion, and was having pretty
fair success in drawing some or the
weaker members from the other
churches. Some of the prominent
Methodist members came to their pas
tor, the teller of the story and told
him that he would just have to preach
a sermon on baptism in self-defense
The preacher refrained for some time,
not desiring to stir IN any excitement
on such an Anticipated subject How
ever, as inroads we're being made into
his flock by the Jealous work of the
preacher of the "immersionistS" that
the Methodist preached finally con-
sented to preach a sermon on bap-
tism. In the sermon he made the
statement that one of his objections
to that mode of baptism was that it
could not be performed without a
certain degree of levity. OF course
the other preacher got wind of the
sermon and upon meeting the Meth
odist the next day, took him to task
for the statements made He asked
the Methodist if he would be willing
to change his views if he was given to
see that the rite of baptism could be
given by immersion without levity. To
this the Methodist brother replied
yes" The other preacher informed
him that he had about thirty to bap-
tise that day in the river nearby and
invited the preacher to come and see

that one of the converts at the revival
was Sister Smith, neighbor to the
Methodist preacher and a member of
his church. The time of the year was
during the cool months and the wat
err was just little chilly. As fortune
would have it Sister Smith was the
first one taken in. The preacher pro-
until the lady was put under the wat
err, She came up in hurry with the
exclamation, Good Lord. if I'd
know'd the water was so cold you'd
never got me in here" OF course the
Methodist preacher had the best of
the argument.

Recovered Strength After Sickness

Garrett, Texas.-"The measles left
my little boy aged nine years in a
very weak, run down condition - he
coughed good deal, and as medi-

finally took him out of school, and
thought he would never be strong

my little boy-it stopped his cough,
he is now back in school, strong and

There is nothing like Vinol to re-

SEED CORN SHOULD
Be PURCHASED NOW
COUNTY AGENT GIVES ADVICE
oNHoeoINc DOWN CORN AND
PREPARING HOG PASTURES.

"Hogging down" soy beans and
corn planted in the same row will be
about the cheapest and quickest
means of fattening hogs next fall, &C.
cording to County Demonstration
Agent E. A. Mclean, who gave out an
interview for The Herald advising the
| farmers to begin securing their seed
corn now.
Seed corn should be purchased as
soon as possibel," said Mr.. Mclean,
for the men who have field selected
this corn can shuck and shell it DUR
ing the bad weather. But an excess
Of seed corn is not going to be shuck-
err, nubber and shelled until the farm
ers begin demanding it. The price
of seed corn now permits the farmers
to make small profit over selling it
as feeding corn. Every man who has
field selected his seed corn and in
tends TO sell some of il will not have
time to get 1t in shape to sell, so 1t
is advisable to speak to the seed corn
men now. Lists of the men in Maury
county who field selected seed corn
from the field can be secured from
the county agent.
"Soy beans and stock peas are
scarce over the entire country this
year, and every farmer who intends
to plant either should purchase now.
Very few farmers in the county have
these seed for sale, and the seed
houses will not have an excess
amount on hand
"Hogging down soy beans and corn
planted in the same row will be about
the cheapest and quickest means Of
fattening hogs next fall. Demonstra-
tions in Maury county the past year
proved that with peck of beans or
peas planted with each acre of corn,
the farmers have gotten balanced
ration for their hogs.
The Mammoth yellow soy bean
planted with corn will mature in time
for hogging the corn, as the leaves
will have rick growth and the beans
will be just beginning to form when
the corn is just past the dough stage.
A shoat weighing 100 pounds will
consume three bushels of corn with
the beans to the acre In thirty days.
"Oats and rape sown together in
February at the rate of one bushel of
oats to three pounds of rape will af-
ford an excellent pasture for six or
eight good sized hogs to the acre.
Where the hogs have good pasture
only about two pounds of corn each
day for 100 pounds live weight shoald

staterooms were situated on the
bridge deck and shelter deck amid
ships, and were large in size and well
furnished.
1t is probable, however, in view of
the exigencies of the situation, that
the steamer has been stripped of most
of her luxurious fittings in order to
take as great a number of troops as
possible on each voyage.
1t was announced that the Tuscania
was manned by British sailors, with a
British naval guard, and was con
voyed by British warships.

PARABLE
LOSS CAUSED
BY LIPSCOMb
HOME BLAZE

Fire Sunday night badly damaged
and almost wrecked the beautiful IT,
E. Lipscomb residence and contents
on South Main street. The kitchen,
dining room and rear walls of the
house were burned and the remainder
of the house and furniture was water
soaked and scorched by the flames
and in the fight to eXtinguish the con-
flagration. The building was SO bad
ly damaged that it will have to be
practically rebuilt. Only $4,000 in
surance was carried on the building
and $500 on the furniture, neither of
which items, it is believed, will cover
the loss. Much of the furniture was
old-fashioned walnut and the build
ing was constructed of poplar lumber,
which it is practically impossible to-
secure on the market at any price
now Many family relics in furniture,
oil paintings and other household
treasures were destroyed or damaged
Although the origin of the fire is
not known, it is thought possible that
it was started by coal-oil stove that
was lighted in the kitchen about 80
minutes before the blaze was discov-
cred. Mr.. and Mrs. Lipscomb, their
son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Britain of College Grove, who
were on visit, and their niece, Miss
Aileen Church, were in a front room
when the lights went out and they
discovered the rear of the house in
flames. The fire department was
called at about o'clock and made a
quick and vigorous fight. The flames
were soon brought under control, but
not until much damage had been
done. A strong southwest wind fan
ned the flames under the tin roof and
caused much of the damage to the
front interior.
