when he quoted Scripture to them.
The family was having pancakes for

that he wait for the cook to bring in
the warm cakes. 80. ..,-f ..-

Country Has Wool Surplus.

the National Retail Dry Goods associ-
alton, the available wool supply for
1913 is 1.260.000D00 pounds, g., OF this
120O00,000 pounds will be needed for
war purposes. The consumption, of
wool in 1917 was C00,O000O0 pounds.
Therefore even if the demand Of the

even tripled there should still remain
a tidy excess! for general purposes,

Ask yourself this question:: What

something don't you think you are a

The Government doesn't ask very
much of you. 1t merely asks you to
do without unnecessary things and IN

What Your Country Expects.

b Your country isycounting on you TO
furnish the sinews OF war in this, the
migbtiest contest that the world has
ever known. hIt is counting on your
money, your labor, and your spirit OF
self-sacrifice. World wars can not be
won by talk alone. and they can not
be won by resources unless those re-
sources are so directed that they count
in the actual prosecution of the war.
America, as We all know. is the rich.
est nation In the world 1t has the
most money, the most factories and
the most natural resources. But the
money will not do us any good in the
war unless il is modified for the use
of the Government.

Mrs Sarah Trussell, county home demonstration agent for this county, now at Fayetteville, taking over and laying out the work for the present. year, writes the following very inter- esting letter to the Sentinel Record :
 Our state annual meeting of the home demonstration agents closed its sixth day of meeting today. Our short course continues through January then our annual meeting closes the second of February In 1914 Arkan- sas had II agents; in 1915, 22 agents in 1916, 32 agents; Il 1917, 47 agents, and in 1918. we have 65 agents
 This is how fast the womans work has grown in Arkansas. We arc hay ing quite an interesting meeting various speakers have given us lec- lures and demonstrations on the can ming of meats and fish, the drying of fruits and vegetables, and the making of cream cheese and cottage cheese.
 "l feel that this is going to be the most progressive year we have ever had in Garland county as I have en- rolled more than 100 boys and girls in the different agricultural clubs fov another year, feel that there will be more than 200 more enrolled dur ing the month of February.
 "I thank you so much for the CO operation you have given in the club work, and I hope to do much better work thls year.
