by one sect only, but I find that the
Dunkards are willing to have neigh

other people find it agreeable to live

and industrious and I believe thaht 80
per cent of the tract will be occupied
by these people, some of whom are
coming from California. We have also
had two applications from women
farmers. l am informed that both
of them are skilled agriculturists
Other applicants come from factory
towns near New York. They have
made study of agriculture and feel
that they can find pleasant homes and
prospects of future prosperity in the
South. 1t is really remarkable haw

Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Christmas tree and we're making lots
of new things this year. It's more fun
to string popcorn and cranberries and
gild walnuts and make butterflies than
1t Is to buy 'em downtown. Ethel, you
give Billie another needle and he can
string cranberries. They're easiest to
begin on"
Have you children discovered yet
that it is more fun to make things
with your own hands than 1t is to buy
them with money? If not, you have
missed lesson which every child
should learn.
The tree decorations which Johnny
and his sisters were making may be
made by any child. First on the list
comes popcorn and cranberrles. These
may be strung separately or alternate
ly. If yellow field corn is soaked un.
til softenei, it may also be strung. A
small tree was once trimmed with q
lattice work of strung popcorn, cover,
ing all the top of the tree, with tiny
red tissue bells at the end of each
string.
