There was a fine audience at the
Trinity Methodist church last night.
The Odd Fellows and Rebeccas were
the guests OF honor. They had the
largest delegation of any of the fra
ternal orders up to the present time.
The opening program of song was
very fine. Mrs. and Miss Conner
sang duet, "In Thy Love 0 God Of
Mercy" This was repeated by
special request. Miss Conner re-
cited with remarkable effect a child
story, Good Night Papa. Jessie See

Provide Men and Money.


| The second great task will be to
provide men and money to meet the
needs Of the world along these three
lines. For the purpose Of securing
men, there will be carried on con.
tinuous propaganda in all of the local
churches of the country for the pur.
pose OF enlisting young men and
women to devote their lives to one
branch or another of this missionary
service. This campaign will also be
carried on in all the colleges and
universities of the country and, as
far as expedient, among high school
students.
There will also be great financial
drive, participated in by all of these
thirty denominations, for eight days.
from April % to May of this year.
The plan is to raise for period COW
ering the next five years the ire
mendous sum of $1,300,00O.000 for
the carrying on Of the great task OF
the churches that are cooperating IN
this movement. Each denomination
will make its own appeal for money
to its own constituency, but the ap'
peals will be simultaneous. There
will be also in each county an organi.
cation OF business men for the pur.
pose Of making financial canvass
Independently Of the churches.

TIMELY FARM WORK

Successful farming depends very
largely upon work done at the right
time Hay left in the field one day long.
er than required may mean the loss OF
a crop Of hay. An open cotton field may
be badly damaged in storm when left
few days. Peas may be ruined be-
cause Of few days delay.
We can not control the Weather, but
we are often able to control our own
plans and the labor Of the farm. Far
seeing, energetic farmers are seldom
losers because Of bad weather after
crops are ready to gather.
We should not attempt to till more
land than We can take care of easily.
Many farmers in their desire for larg.
er incomes and more acreage lose
heavily because Of unfavorable seasons
Let lis practice safe methods, thus re-
ducing risk. Plan wisely and well
think more and guess less.-Farm and
