90 Asst Christmas this little cos

&d1 same time presented with a very
nice bed for her doll. It looked so
nice and the maker received so many
compliments on the design, it Is given
here with the thought that many boys
will wish to make one for their sisters.
The choice of wood may be left en-
tirely 10 the maker If It is to match
any piece OF doll furniture, choose a
wood that will best take the treatment
necessary to give the desired results.
Suppose we get out the stock for
the upright. Plane it to one inch
square and then cut to the required
length. Locate the point from the
bottom end where the piece starts to
taper, then draw a pencil line all the
way around-that is, on each OF the

~ W Day -
W Americans their tribute pay
To him who sailed the ocean blue
In far-of l492.
Columbus-hnder Of our land
Set sail with his advent'ring band;
To India's shores the craft he bound.
Believing that the earth was round.
The jeers and jibes and mocking word
He stood as if he had not heard:
And turning from the shores of Spain,
He sailed upon the billowy main.
His heart beat high with hope and
prayer.
He needed not his mems despair;
But steered his boat toward India's sod
With faith and trust placed in his God.
And when the crew was gripped with
fear
Just then a friendly shore loomed near;
And when they'd landed on the shore
Columbus thanked his God once
more
That he had lived to see the day
When he could find a shorter way
To India-He thought that he
Had sailed around to India's sea.
But we, today. who celebrate,
Know that it was a kindly fate

Might live where all men can be free.

there was a difference which she was

"Ill see." thought she, and began

As she drew closer and parted the

She came close and looked at the
unfortunate little beast 1t was a
beautiful cat, whose hind foot was
fastened in the cruel jaws Of the trap.
It looked up with piteous eyes and
Jennie's kind heart was touched. "lh

Instead OF running off the cat fell over

OUTING FOR BELLEVIEW
ROD AND GUN CLUB

Belleview, April 14.-When the
Belleview Gun and Rod Club holds it's
next event, it will live up to it's title,
for shooting will be mixed with fish
ing and there will be swimming "on
the side"
The event has been fixed for
Thursday afternoon, April 22. and
will be in the nature of general out
ing at Smiths lake. The big trap and
a supply of clay "birds" will be car
ried along for the regular trap shoot
ing contest and as reds and reels al
ways go to the lake it is fair guess
that there will be more or less in
formal casting competitions leading
up to a big fish fry.
1t is probable also that at the next
trap shoot the members of the club
will be formed into teams and that
team scores and not individual records
will decide the result.
The club. which was organized only
a month ago with IA members. now
has "a names on its roll and already
has held two trap shoots and bait

BELLEVIEW CLUB
WANTS MORE BASS

Belleview, April 13.-If the efforts
of the Belleview Gun and Rod Club
meet with success. there will be better
fishing in both Smiths Lake and Lake
Lillian, For at the last meeting of
that progressive organization, Secre-
tary Gale was instructed to get in
touch with the proper authorities in
Washington with view of having
both of these waters stocked with
bass.
Meanwhile, the members of the
club have been requested as sports
men to refrain from fishing in Lake
Lillian for a period of one year. The
town council has been asked to make
the picturesque pool forbidden water
to all for similar period.
Smiths Lake is we'll known, but
doubtless there are those not resident
in Belleview who are unaware that
Lake Lillian is the mirror-like little
pond situated in the very heart of this
oak-shaded city. Many years ago it
was stocked with German carp but
fortunately that undesirable fish did
not thrive and it was not until six CT
eight years ago that Mr.. Gale and his
son placed Is or 20 young bass in the
water. They proved prolific and since
that time several hundred bass have
been caught, a 712-pounder having
been landed only last week.
However, the fishing is not what it
| used to be and restriction and re-
stocking is necessary, hence the Belle
view Gun and Rod Clubs action. The
club also intends TO set apart day
this summer when the members will
put on their "wading pants" and clear
out the weeds which now thickly en-,

We think that some provision should

that the quality of the gas may be
kept up to a reasonable standard of
efficiency for heating purposes for
after all, heat is the thing the con-
sumers use and need.

that no further action be taken for
the present. Respectfully,

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

The practice of replanting corn
does not pay. The first planted stalks
tend to crowd out the replants and
prevent them from making their pro-
per growth and development. Besides,
the ears of the replants are usually
not well filled out because of poor
pollinization, due to the fact that the
second planting is in single hills, or
spots, and placed some distance from
each other.
Where the stand of corn is very
poor it will pay better to plant the
whole field again rather than to re-
plant the missing hills. If the stand
is fair, the best thing to do is to plant
velvet beans, peanuts or cow peas in
the open spaces. On account of the
slow growth of the velvet bean, it is
to be preferred. 1t will hold its own
while the corn is making and after
the corn is matured it will come on
and produce just as we'll as if no corn
had been there.
In applying fertilizers to growing
crops the aim should be to get them
down into the moist soil. 1t requires
about three weeks for commercial
fertilizers to become available for
plants, and to put them in dry dirt
may mean that the crop will suffer for
lack of them before a rain comes to
make them available. Should fertilizer
be applied in dry weather and rain
fail to fall for three weeks. it is like
lxy hot civ lie Lnf1
the crop can get the benefit of the
plant food. A rank growing, quick
maturing plant like corn will be in
jured by such an occurrence. So. to
be on the safe side. either put the fer
tilizer in the damp soil or get it or
several weeks in advance of the time
that it will be needed.
For a hay crop, nothing is better
than cow peas or beggarweed. Crab
grass, Natal. Sudan and sorghum hays
are good. but when it is taken into
consideration that they are only hall
as rich in food elements as the pea OIL
beggarweed it will be seen what mis-.
take it is TO grow them. More thar
that, they are harder on the land thar
the two leguminous hays.
With plenty of pea or beggarweec
| hay before the work animals all the
time and good pastures for them Il
run on, not more than half the graiT
| is needed to keep them in good ordel
as when grass hay and corn are fec
exclusively. Why not then give more
attention to these two hay crops anC
plan to grow this summer at leas
three tons of them for every worl
animal on the farm? If your choic,
is beggarweed, then enter the beggar
