In common terms We would put II;
Those who are least guilty of 'sInaii
town stuff" are the most usetui 10
the ends of true progress. Men WHO
are a little larger than the town or
community in which they live have at
least some Of the qualities or cad
ership. This does not mean they
need feel above or better than then
fellowmen, but that they keep theif
v;sion clear and see the things about
them in their relation to the nation
and the world.
Nothing can warp us so mucn as

Clones. or to take seriously the gr1ev-

"YOU, GERTRUDE" !"

Why does the sun shine golden and
the sky,
In patches of blue, with clouds
floating listlessly
Presenting a scene that artists would
vie?
'Tis because of you
Why do the birds carol classically
too,
The winds blow balmy, yet,
The rain in showers, seem sym
phony of water"
'Tis because of you
Why does the rose exhale exquisite
music
Chanting in its fowery way m
Trovatore;"
Why does the dainty Violet's song
never bore?
It's because of you
Why do blue eyes with dazzling
gaze enthrall
a rose bud mouth, Oh boyl A
pretty "baby ball"
What makes dad" feel "Chesty"?
Well its no stall"
'Tis because of you.

IN YOUR OLD AGE?

You are going to do in your old
age Just about as you are doing now
If you are sitting around finding
fault with others; if you are grouchy
and grumpy through jealously and
envy; if you are niggardly and stln-
gy-you will entertain the same men
tai attitude when the twilight ege
falls about you. This business tf 60
ing to do things is all tommy-"ot. You
think YOU can grub your life away
and starve yourself now, and enjoy
an easy, generous old age. You tnlnk
that after you have made your 1or-
tune by grabbing everything IN sight
Won can lead a decent life in your
declining years. But you can't; you
can't change your habits and dlsposl-
ton at will You imagine you can
settle down after while and devote
yourself to more serious things. You
are mistaken. You are getting out OF
life lust what you will continue TO ger
out of it-and that is exactly what
YOU put into it. No man ought to de-
sire to retire. He ought to want TO get
to the point where he can leave de-
tails to others and give his attentlon
to bigger things. but he ought to md
more in work than in anything else
He ought to strive to die with his
boots on, as they used to say on'

OF DAlRYING TO
YALOBUSHA CO. FARMERS

The greatest portion of this coun-
try Is made up OF hllls of sandy
clay nature. This type of son
washes very easy and that one fact
has been crater curse to this coun-
try than the boil weevil ever VIII be
but also this type of soil responds
quicker to good treatment than any
quicker to good treatment than any
other type of soil.
This tendency of the land to wash
and the coming of the boil weevil is
a blessing because we will have to
put more of our land in pastures
and raise more stock to pay for this
q, sastaEe - prohtable, eriy conS'a'
ANIMALS is the dairy cow, u :. the J
Is of the best native mich cows will
enable a man to pay the running
expenses of his farm and to put
money in the bank besides giving
the cows your personal attention
you shall be able to grow all the feed
stuff such as silage, velvet beans
and hay that they will need and
manage the bermuda of his farm.
According TO our present system
of farming we only really work with
definite object in view about six
months of each year while live stock
farming employs man 365 days a
year and it is not by any means a
lazy man job but where man
chooses to live a profitable life and
have his farm in such condition so
that it will be help to his son in
stead of hindrance.
In Dairy farming q of all feed
fed to the cows is returned in fer
tility to the farm, and the legumes
that grow for feed in the pasture
will also greatly help to increase the
fertility of soil
This increased fertility will en-
able a man to secure greater yields
per acre thereby reducing the over
head of expenses of the farm.
The cream nuts YOU farmers on
easv bases will enable you to buy
what YOU want, where you want it,
and when you want it.
AS to the good business of the
system of farming it being en-
dorsed nv the banks all over the
state. Who could desire better
conservative advice than you banker.
He is also willing to turn YOU
money with which to buy you these
COWS and wait until the cows have
paid for themselves.
Also he does not want note on
your farm for these COWS as he does
when you talk of cotton.

is GOD UNKNOWN? ?

/ wonder in this Christian land
ershadowed by the Father:
hand,
How many souls there are
Who worship idols-fellow men
Who seem to them above all sin,
And brighter than a star?
Each soul looks up to something
great
Then start it in the street called
straight"
That leads TO Gods white throne.
Do idols ever come your way?
And do they lead your soul astray?
! God to sou unknown?
Has friend or kinsman won from
The I've that unto God is due2
Can you lis love deny?
Remember you are made Of dust;
But souls who sin can also trust,
Repent and look on high
Shall God forever be unknown,
Do you not strive to reach his
throne?
Unto his side draw near
Can we not know him feel his love
A Father dear who waits above,
His chilldren's prayers to hearP
We ought to know Him, love and
serve,
And walk the path without q
curve
That leads to Heavens shore.
If we are growing in His grace,
Wen see our blessed Saviour's face
When life's short voyage is DER.

To Those Interested In Better
Schools:
The question he's been put to me
consolidate the rural schools?"
There is only ora answer that can
give and that is that consolation is
matter that m t be decided by
the people themselves. | think it
should be well understood that my
being county superintendent does
nct give me the authority to con
so.idste the schools against the
wishes Of the people. Since coming
into Office l have had several re-
quests for consolidation but these
requests have been made by indi-
yiduals and not by the masses.
In assuming the duties OF the Of
fee I appreciate fully my duty to
work untiringly for the best interest
Of the who,e people and especially
for the best interest of the boys and
girls Of the farm. If the question
is asked, do you favor consolida-
tion?" I answer, "Yes," and I sup
port this answer by the experience
have had in the work. / know it
is good thing and in my 5 years ex-
perience as a consolidated school
principal l never knew q community
to ask for return to the old system.
The greatest drawback to consoli-
dation is the lack of knowledge Of
it's many advantages. This is true
of every new movement. We fought
the stock law, we fought the rural
free delivery, we fought the drain
age all because we did not know the
value of these things. Naturally we
are going to fight consolidation. But
Just as sure as the stock law, the
rural free delivery, and the drainage
are here to stay because their worth
has been proven, consolidation OF
rural schools with transportation is
here to stay because it is decided
success in every locality where 1t
has been tried.
Realizing that lack Of information
is our principal drawback and that
the people are anxious to know the
advantages of the consolidated over

COOPERATION IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CONTROL
OF ANIMAL DISEASE

Prevention and eradication
of diseases for domestic animals,
as well as of the human race,
should be matters of public
interest.
On the wholesomeness of
food, and especially of meats
and dairy products, depends IN
large measure the health and
vitality of everyone.
With the improvement of
animal-breeding methods, with
increased value of live stock
and larger individual herds, dis
eases become more important
problems than formerly in live
stock production.
Tuberculosis of cattle and
swine, hog cholera, and the
Texas-fever tick are among the
principal sources of loss which
the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is endeavor-
ing to reduce through vigorous
campaigns of education and
regulation.
The principal diseases can be
prevented or controlled by Prae--
tical methods now in use and
which have resulted in marked
progress.
The rate of progress, how
ever, depends largely on the
support of the work by live
stock growers, public officials,
educational leaders, the press'
and all others interested in the
Nations economic welfare, pub
lie health, mad an ample supply
of wholesome meats and dairy
products.
The public's corporation with
the Bureau of Animal Industry
will strengthen its efforts IN
eradicating livestock diseases
and improving the quality and
economical yield of animal food
products.

ship which Water Valley prizes.
They hope to make the hospital a
help to the whole community-to
furnish not only private rooms Tor
patients, but less expensive accomo-
dations in large three-room bed
ward down stairs; to provide even
for charity work, in case a patient
can not afford to be cured; to con-
vert the servants room into color
ed ward, because sick darkiee need
medical attention, just as sick white
--rT-~as > as---- =
In order to realize these plans, the
hospital needs equipment. The
Browns are all young people, who
have been busy getting their train
ing, and have not amassed enough
money as yet to provide the hundreds
Of articles that a hospital needs.
Can't you help them? Won't you
help? Let's call Friday, Feb. 18th,
Donation Day, and all visit the hos
pital from three to five. Veil meet
the hospital staff, look at the build,
ing, have social cup of tea, and
depart leaving our gifts behind us
Remember the hospital needs every
