Figures show that city folks eat only
about half as much pork as the farm
ers do, despite the fact that it is our
quickest, cheapest, tenderest and
most nourishing food.
The hog raiser is partly to blame.
If he produced the better kind of
pork that grows only on pure-breds,
the city consumption would be much
greater. Pure-bred hogs will help the
pork business-they will make more
money for you. Aud you can get the
foundation for pure-bred herd right
in this community.

Jack Spratt and Wife
Jack Spratt could eat no fat. "

Jack SPTaH cou7d eat no rat.
He evidently had sitting down job and took little
ercise. Pork especially gave him trouble, and no
wonder! The farmers of Jacks day took spindle
hammed scrawny-sided scrubs and poured corn into
them until they looked like overstuffed sofas.
But if he'd had pure-bred pork, the kind that

FEED MY SHEEP.

Shepherd, show me how to go
Der the hillside steep,
How to gather, how to sow
How to feed Thy sheep;
] will listen to thy voice,
Lest my footsteps stray;
/ will follow and rejoice
All the rugged way.
Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
Break earth's stupid rest.
Strangers on a barren shore,
Lab'ring long and lone,
We would enter by the door,
And Thou know'st Thine own.
So, when day grows dark and cold,
Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
Take them in Thine arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
Till the mornings beam;
Whit as wool, ere they depart,
Shepherd, wash them clean.

TREE PLANTING CAMPAIGN
A MARKED SUCCESS,

Mrs. Ralston Cargill, chairman of
the tree planting campaign just clos
ed in Americus, reports that the
movement was an unbounded success.
More than three hundred trees were
taken to be planted along the streets
of Americus, and others have agreed
to add their names to the list. She
has an order for $50 trees from the
nursery, and is expecting them this
week. For the benefit of those who
will plant the trees the following di-
rections were sent with the order:
'In planting these trees we would
suggest having holes 18 inches across
by 18 inches deep. In the bottom of
holes put in about 8 inches of half
soil and fertilizer. Make a thick dip
of mud just thin enough to allow you
to stick the roots of the trees in and
withdraw Every root should be
thoroughly covered with this mud be-
fore planting. Set trees in hole and
be careful in filling in to work soil
around roots. Fill the hole level full
of the dirt and stamp as you would
a post. This will leave depression.
Fill this with water and in "a hours
complete filling the hole with dirt.
Leave the earth heaped up around the
trees inches"
For the benefit of those who secur-
ed trees from the woods nearby and
will plant them themselves, the sug-
gestion is made that the roots which
have been unevenly cut in removing
from the native soil should be cut
off smoothly before replacing in the
ground. SO many trees are lost be-
cause of the carlessness in leaving the
jagged edges of the roots.

SEVEN THOUGHTS
FOR SEVEN DAYS.

If we serve others through love,
we serve ourselves as well.
Love is understood by everything
that breathes. 1t is the universal
language.
Joy is both an appetizer and di-
gester, it should flavor all that we
eat Never discuss unpleasant sub
jects at the table.
Cultivate happiness, endeavor to
look pleasant. No matter what your
mood, act ALWAYS as though you were
happy. Happiness is contagious and
- it is every ones duty to add to the
worlds store of it.
Do not find fault nor comment
upon anything but the good unless il
is absolutely necessary. Never idly
or uselessly complain. Be thankful
that you slept as well as did last
night. To complain is to bring upon
yourself further unrest and confus-
ion.
The world desires happiness above
everything else, and is willing to work
hard for whatever will bring it. Hap
piness, like health, harmony and
peace, is the normal condition of
man. When you feel irritable, force
yourself to do a kind act. This will
produce an immediate state of happi-
ness.
Hold fast to the thought that there
is an abundance for each, more than
one can ask or think. One might as
well hold ones breath for fear that
the air will be exhausted, as to be
fearful that the supply of wealth will
be diminished because few have
amassed great fortunes.

At the last meeting of the week

unto death, which we accept as a
challenge to make our lives nobler
and to render better service in our
church, society and homes, to all of
which she gave herself so faithfully.
Resolved, Third, That we extend
our deepest sympathy to her loved
ones and pray Gods richest blessing
upon them.
Resolved, Fourth, That a page in
our minute book be dedicated to her
