Tho main consideration which
holds wood in its place as toy mater
ials is not chcapncss," says the as
sociatiOn. though that has something
to do with it, Articles OF large size
would be too heavy if made of metal
but many articles are made OF wood
because it is the best irrespective Of

AN APPEAL.

L noticed in Saturdays State tha,
Sunday, December 10th would be RE
lief Sunday" for the starving Euro
pean children.
] feel that it has not gotten on the
peoples hearts as !. SHOULD and
wish that we all owuld set aside De-
cembcr 26 as fast day and use the
money We would have spent in pro-
visions for that day to go to these
starving children.
This call is To you and to me--will
we answer now or wait to hear Jesus
say To US in that awful day For /
wI' hlngered, and ye Cd m, H.
meat; / was thirsty, and ye gave
me no drink"
Christian friends this is the testing
time. Christ is watching our attitude
towards these starving children. Are
we willing TO SO on in pleasure and
ease and turn a deaf ear? 1t will
mean so much TO our spiritual growth
Ii we will fast and pray one day for
these unfortunate ones.
l am hoping and praying that our
pastors Of Sumter will urge every
member OF their church to fast on
Sunday, December 20.
"A child is crying beyond our door,
In the cold and the wind and the
wild downpour.
(Iow can we sit at ease within?)
a child is calling beyond our gates,
Starving and stark and desolatc.
Glow can we bid the feast begin?)
The doors of the world are heavy and
tail.
But the cry OF child can pierce them
all.
"a cry Cf child in anguish sore)
And though it sounds from u land
apart,
tbs at our threshold and at our heart
ca child is crying beyond our door
How may we sit content and warm.
When a child is lost in the night and
storm?
Crhe night of famine. the storm OF
war;.
How may we break our bread i'm ease
Hearing the voice Of the least OF
these?
"a child is crying beyond our
door.D

Animals Are Naturally of Nervous and
Excitable Disposition and
Resent Roughness.

In the hurry Of getting chores done
dairyman sometimes forgets thai
dairy cows are naturally of a nervous
and excitable disposition, and that I'M
der conditions of excitement or fear
the milk flow is lessened materially
Driving cows on the run, chasing them
by dogs and with loud shouting are
not allowed on a well-managed dairy
farm. In the stable all operations
should be carried on quietly. When q
COW kicks there usually is a reason for
it; the teats may be hurt by the mixer
or tie COW may be frightened. At such
time little care in removing the
cause and pacifying the COW often will
prevent further trouble. Many good
cows become confirmed kickers and
consequently less profitable as a re-
suit Of lack of careful observation
and kindness on the part Of the attend
ants.

GROW GRAPES FOR HOME USE
With a Little Care at Least Few Va.
rieties May Be Found Suitable
for Purpose.

Some orchardists have assumed that
grapes are adapted to peculiar soils
and ideal situations. Upon this sup
position many have not tried grapes
when they planted orchards. AS a
matter of experience, with little care
grapes for home use can be grown on
most soils; at least few varieties can
generally be found for this purpose.
But pruning and spraying will al
ways be necessary TO good fruit. With
out pruning the vines will not grow
new and fruit-bearing wood. The
pruning must be kept up. If followed
regularly few years and then left
off for a year the results will be plain
ly observed. Pruning must be done
every year.
