HAVE A FARM OFFICE

Every farmer needs farm office.
By this / mean a room Or a corner
of a room set apart for his business
affairs, account book and agricultural
books and papers.
Now that the long winter evenings
are here and we are not rushed so
with work, we will have time to do
some reading and some figuring on
the business. Now is the time to
catch up with this if we get behind
during the busy season.
One could not put a few dollars into
q better investment than to build a
good desk and supply it with the nee
essary equipment. One can study
these during the long winter eve
nings, and the time will be not only
pleasantly but profitably spent.
The library can be made into an
office as well as a library by the adj
dition of a desk, a chair, and files
for letters and papers. We can new
er learn to farm too we'll, and there
is p%nty that we can learn about our
business if we will just study it.
If we are unable to have sep
arate room and furnish it, we can at
least have a corner of one, and this
should be made our business Office.

Camp Rapidan, Army Of Northern
Virginia, November 2, 1868.
Dear ID, Any dear miss, / re-
eeived your letter 0f the 2Srd Of
October, and was very glad to bear
from you, as it was the first time
in three or four weeks that / had had
any news from you. I am glad that
you had such a fine meeting at
Spring Hill and that you joined to-
gether with so many others. Par.
SON Giddings' brother is a captain
in our regiment, and is fine officer.
Hope you are we'll am in fine
health at present, and hope that !
will never have to 60 to another hos
pital.
Well dearest, a little bad news to
write. | have been in the guard
house for the first time; stayed in
from one evening to the next eve
ming. 1t was for cursing an officer,
captain. | was passing through a
North Carolina brigade, and met a
captain, and he rallied out on me for
not saluting him. / told him ] did
not belong to his brigade and that
we only saluted while on duty, and
he began cursing me and told him
he had no right to curse me, and II
he did not stop it / would swap
words with him. He got worse, and
we made the air blue for a while
He then had me arrested for cursing
an officer. The corporal of the guarC
found out for me some parties who
heard the fuss, and / had them no
titled to appear at the trial. / also
had my captain notified, and they
cleared me and put the smart captain
under arrest for Is days without
pay. Our captain sure stuck to me
Such is army life but stick up fol
your rights. Sink or swim, live o.
die is our motto in the old Goth Ala
bama regiment. You must excuse m,
for writing of my troubles. ! hop,
that / will never have any more o
that kind.
We are back on the Rapidan t,
spend the winter, l hope. It is get
ting pretty cold, and the Yanks seen
to be quiet.
So write often and give all tn
news, Farewell, my dear. AS ever
yours in much love,

MASONS REJOICE OVER
RECAPTURE OF JERUSALEM
Emancipation of Ancient City After
Having Been for Centuries Under
MOhammedan Rule, Brings Joy to
Followers of Solomon.

That Jerusalem has been enamel
pated to Christendom is matter of
interest to Masons, especially Knights
Templar, everywhere. They are re-
ioicing over the capture Of the city,
an event which appeals to them with
peculiarly reverential sentiment.
Scottish rite Masonry especially, this
peing the "Grand East" of the Moth
er Supreme Council of the World is
rejoicing over what it calls the ninth
Crusade"
Jerusalem, the Temple Of King
Solomon, and the various phases of
its construction, form an essential
part of the philosophy Of speculative
Freemasonry; but in the Scottish
Rite, especially in the historical
grades and higher degrees, the scenes.
legends and incidents associated with
the ancient city are kept wildly in
thought.
From the time Of Hugh De Payen
the first grand master of the Order
Of the Temple, to Jacques de Molay,
The last, martyrel for his faith by a
jealous church Knights Tempiar had
taken active and usually leading parts
in the successive crusades to Jeru-
salem and the Holy Land from Eu
rope. Today Ma5Jrls everywhere are
joining in the great pean of praise
arising because the city OF the first
grand master is redeemed from Mo-
hammedan misruls and the shadow
of the Turk.
! Right Worshipful Oliver A. Rob,
erts, of Massachusetts, in an inter-
view with the Christian Science Mon
itor, of Boston, said the taking of
Jerusalem, if it permanently relieves
the city of its longtime rulers so
hostile to Christianity will probably
result in the extension of Masonic
discoveries possibly Of value. He said
that the exploration Of the tombs
under Mt. Zion, probably those Of
Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David and Sol
ONION, might result in the discovery
Of much that will be Of great interest
to Masons and to all Christians. Right
Worshipful Master Roberts said that
these tombs were under "The Senac-
ulam," the building marking the site
of the Last Supper. The upper part
Of this structure is vacant, but explor-
alton Of the excavation underneath
Masons believe, would result in the
finding of the tomb Of their first
grand master, Solomon, and those OF
David Joseph, Isaac, Jacob and 9TH
ers.
Locally much qualification is felt
by members of the Masonic frater-
nifty over the restoration of Jerusa-
lem, and throughout the entire coun-
try the event arouses greater inter
est in Freemasonry.

SAYS BIBLE FORETELLS
DOWNFALL OF KAISER
Knoxville Woman Asserts That the
Overthrow of the Kaiser Has Been
...FOreOrdained, and Cites Scripture
to Bear Out Her Assertions.

Knoxville, January 49, Kaiser
Bills defeat is prophesied in the BIZ
BILE.
So says Mrs. Anna B. Poeton, a
learned Bible student of this city.
Several years ago she publicly pre-
dicted the recent capture of JeruOa-
lem by the British.
For twenty years Mrs. Poeton has
been watching for a palace to ne
built by the German emperor near
Jerusalem. She was not surprised
when she read recently that such a
structure had been built:
at identifies the Kaiser as the king
who worships the god Of force. men
toned in the last few verses Of the
eleventh chapter of Daniel she says.
ut is one more proof Of the inspir-
alton Of the Scripture, as it shows
exactly where we are in the proph-
ecy.
"Daniel says: And he shall plant
the tabernacles of his palace between
the seas in the glorious holy noun
tain; yet he shall come to his end,
and none shall help him.
Later in the interview she added:
Jerusalem has fallen into the hands
Of the British without the destruc-
ton Of any Of the holy places, which
h itself seems almost 9 miracle.
aWhen an attempt is made TO re-
take it the end Of the war is at hand
for the Lord says, His fury win
come up in his face, and he viii turn
their swords one against another and
rain on them fire and birthstone.
Airplanes will likely end the war;"

TRANSATLANTIC ASPARAGUS

The asparagus should be moved in
late winter or early spring at early
garden-making time, The land where
the asparagus is planted should be
prepared we'll and deep and enriched
during the fall with well-rotted ma
nure. Open up deep furrow and
make it as wide at the bottom as
you can so you can spread the roots
of the plants out well. Set the plants
deep enough so the crown will be
at least five inches below the Level
of the ground. 1t is preferable to
plant asparagus in rows rather than
in beds, as it is so much easier to
cultivate. Make the rows four or
five feet apart and set the plants as
much as two feet apart in the rows.
While the plant should be set in a
deep furrow, not over two inches Of
soil should be placed over them at
first. After they start growing the
dirt can be gradually brought to them
until finally the surface will be made
level. Cultivate through next year
to keep them clean and the soil loose.
In the fall it will likely be good idea
to NOW and burn the top or remove
them to a distant part of the farm.
In the winter or early spring the as
paragus should be mulched with
well-rotted manure. / have found it
good place to use chicken manure.
In the early spring, before the aspar-
agus starts growing, the disc should
be run over the land as if no crop
was planted there. This works all
of the soil, and is the reason for set
ting the asparagus deep. 1t will be
better not to cut your asparagus next
year, and even the season of 1918
it should not be cut very heavily, as
moving will set it back.-Southern
