SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY

The ladies of the Embroidery Club gave a double surprise birthday party in honor of Mrs. John Medendorp and Mrs. Al Dick at the country home of the former, Friday afternoon.
 In order to have little amusement at the expense of the ladies in whose honor the surprise was given, the members had purchased a miniature air plane and baby cart and present ed the air plane to Mrs. Dick and the cart to Mrs. Medendorp, which brought about much merriment, but after the fun was over they made the presentation of the real presents, a vacuum cleaner to Mrs. Medendorp and a set of cut glass ice tea glasses to Mrs. Dick.
 The afternoon was very pleasantly spent, at the close of which a delicious two-eourse luncheon was served.
 The party was a complete surprise to the ladies in whose honor the party was given as it was given in advance of the birthday of either, in order that Mrs. Robt. Medendorp and her guest, Miss Edna Cooper, might at tend before leaving for the north, which trip they contemplate taking in few days.
 There were eighteen guests and members in attendance and it is safe to say that every one had most en- joyable time.

FOOD VALUE OF MILK

Let us keep our money at home. Dairying is one of the big industries around Carlisle Let us all lend it our support to the actual profit for all There is not one quart of milk used, here, where there should be three. This is the reason: A quart of milk contains food equivalent of beefsteak or fish that we would pay 35 cents for and we would have to pay 40 cents now for potatoes con- taining as much food value as is found in one quart of milk.
 Milk is the cheapest of all foods; it is healthful and is really indispens- able in the diet. All growing children should have free access to milk.
 There is no substitute for milk. Milk will substitute any other food. Let us use more milk.

PLANS ABOUT PERFECTED

Memphis, Tenn, July 22.-The Cot ton States Merchants Association will be host to the big gathering of mer- chants and businss men in August. This association has been of incalcula- ble benefit to the South in the past and with the new membership grow ing it is becoming stronger and stronger each year. The spirit of CO., operation is the key note in it's opera tion. 1t seeks to serve, to offer sug- gestions, to jerk the kinks out of the problems that come up in the line of business and to develop the whole South. Any man who has an interest in his Community, in his town and in the Cotton States should become a member, lend his influence, and be d factor in it's growth.
 The program this year is the best yet arranged. There will be many talks by men of national prominence, who have made good and can tell you how it is done.
 There not a town in the South more hospitable than Memphis. It is a growing city. Its people are pro- gressive and aggressive. Its institu- tions are the best in the land. Its wholesale and retail establishments will rank favorably with any in the South. For business or pleasure it rs really "gloryland"
 The annual meeting which will be held in August will bring together thousands of the business men and planters of the Southern Section. You will enjoy your stay in Memphis. You will be given the best and that is suf- fcient. The committee on entertain ment is already busy and have plans about perfected for your entertain ment and comfort. You will be en- frightened, entertained and made to feel at "home" The invitation is broad enough to make it personal one for all who desire to come.
 Nothing just like the Cotton States Merchants Association meeting: noth- ing better or more profitable. Mem phis will expect you.
