Memorial Day Will BE Observed ON
Friday, May 9th.
In Flanders fields!

1t is again our privilege and plea
urc to decorate the graves Of the
heroes who made the su-
preme sacrifice for their country and
our country. We would indeed be
slackcrs shonld We fail to honor those
brave men once Il year by decorating
their graves. "The Boys" who have
just returned from the bloody battle
fields of France will lay flowers on
those graves more rcverently and
with Il different feeling than they have
ever done before. There will be a
bond OF sympathy that never could
have been, had they not gone through
the same experience.
We hope that every citizen in the
town and surrounding country will
take part in Memorial Day exercises.
Familiar songs will be sung, so that
everybody can join in the singing.
Everybody is requested to meet at the
Presbyterian church on the after noon
of May 9th ut quarter to six o'clock.
Rev. Mr.. Graham of Florence will
deliver the address.

Side Applications to Cotton.
AT the time the cotton plant is In
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else a large percentage
Of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding.
| for example, a lack Of q proper amount
Of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, q lack of plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions. the
fertilizer used In side applications
should contain a high percentage Of
phosphoric acid and rather low per
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect Of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity.
Side Applications 70 Corn.
While it usually pays to make .
larger side application OF fertilizer for
cotton than for corn. still, many Of
the best farmers in the SoutheaSt
advocate liberal side applications for
lcorn.
The period Of the growth of corn 10
much shorter than that of cotton; con
sequently, there must be present In
the soil large supplies OF available
plant food at the critical period q u
growth. which is from the time . as
waist high to tasselling time.

True faith with you who lie asleep,
With each a cross to mark his bed,
And peoples blowing o,rrhyld.
Where once his own life blood ran

So let your rest be sweet and deep

Ten million hands will hold 1t high.
And freedoms light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that ye

Episcopalians Want
Uniform Marriage
And Divorce Laws

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2l.-National
legislation for the regulation of
moving pictures and revision Of the
national constitution TO provide a
way for the passage of uniform mar
riage and divorce laws is demanded
in resolutions adopted in the
house of bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church, meeting in trien-
NAL general convention here. These
resolutions will be presented also in
the house of deputies.
Bishop E. V. Shaylor of Nebraska
presented a resolution asking that a
special committee of congress be
named to consider the relation be-
tween filmed plays and the growth
of crime among the youths of the
nation and to recommend legisla-
ton. In this connection Bishop
Shaylor made the assertion that the
recent race troubles in Omaha,
which resulted in the lynching of
negro, the killing and wounding of
others and an attempt to hang the
mayor of the 'city, was due, in part,
to the influence of improper moving
nicti1res
