Materialism Assailed

Prof G. L. Morelock, principal of
McFerrin School, Martin, the lay
leader of the Memphis Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
vigorously attacked the materialism
of America today and urged the
study of the Bible as the only solu-
ton of the difficulties encountered
by the APPARENT overwhelming of
the spiritual by industrial and me-
chanical development, in a strong
address to the conference, made to-
night.
As the principal speaker Of Lay
mems Day at the Mckenzie confer
ence. Prof. Morelock reviewed
American commercial life and
asked whether material develop
ment has not outrun the moral and
spiritual development of the coun-
try, which has been called upon to
lead the world out Of the chaos of
destruction into the strong light of
peace and order.
He chose for his text Seek ye1
first the kingdom Of God and all
things will be added" He said the
material development of America
during the past half centu-
ry now challenges the establishment
of the world, but the spiritual
growth commensurate with this de-
velopment is drifting into the eddy
of indifference and slothfulness.
eve must wake up and realize
whether we are drifting before it is
too late" he emphasized. eve are
too careless of the things that real
ly count. We let material devices
take the place of spiritual under
standing in the conduct of our dali |

West Tennessee Methodists to
Locate Grade College at
jackson

Mckenzie, Tenn, Nov. 12.-Rip-
ley, Tenn, was chosen today as the
1922 meeting place at the final
business session of the Memphis
Conference, Southern Methodist
Church, which has been in session
here since last Tuesday night. The
conference will close Sunday night
when the conference appointments

Among other important features
at today's meeting was a decision

selection of lay delegates in the
general conference at Hot Springs,
Ark, next May.

he ikened Ambassador Harvey to a
donkey that the United States had
sent to England to bray.
Rev. B. D. Gavin of the Dresden
circuit stated that he rode his horse
almost every day and was greatly
fortified in the realization that God
was with him on each trip. His re-
port indicated that a great deal of
progress had been made in his dis
trict.

GIVE YOUR HOGS A VAR.
IETY OF PROPER FOODS

A variety of feeds always gives bet
ter results than one feed alone, es-
peciaIly in the feeding of hogs, says
&. A. Wilson, dean of the College Of
Agriculture, University of Tennessee
For example, much better results
tnay be obtained from corn fed with
some other feed than from corn alone.
Corn is lacking in protein, and, there
fore, the supplementary feed should
i've rich in protein,
The principal protein feed of the
South is cottOn-seed meal. In many
feeding trials, however, it has proved
to be poisonous to hogs when fed for
longer time than three weeks. Work
at the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton by ". A. Withers has shown that
this poisonous effect can be largely
overcome by the use Of copperas. But
even when fed with copperas, don't
give il TO pigs under three months Of
age or TO pregnant brood soWs.
Cott0nSeed meal may be used for the
last three weeks in balancing the
corn ration fed to hogs intended for
the market, with no danger Of poison
ing.
1t may be used for longer periods
with the same class hogs if cOpperas
is fed with it. The poisoning, we be-
ieve, however, often results from the
feeding Of 100 large proportion Of
cOttUnseed meal in the ration If Just
enough were used to balance the corn
ration there would not be the danger
that there is when the meal is used
in large amounts.
One part by weight OF cottOnseed
meal to six parts Of corn is ordinarily
enough Of the meal to balance the
corn ration for the hog intended for
market. More than this is often waste
ful.
Where cottonseed meal is to be used
IN the rati0n for period longer than
three weeks, copperas should be fed
with it to neutralize its detrimental
effects. \ solution Of copperas should |
be made up in the proportion of four
pounds Of copperas to fifty gallons Of
wafer. a quart of this solution should |
be fed for every pound of cctt0nseed |
meal.

Aged Pastor Welcomed

A touching incident in the ses-
sion held this morning was the re-
spouse made by Rev. Dan G. john
son of Martin, the oldest member of
the Memphis Conference and a SUI
peranuate who is always given a
hearty welcome by all Methodists,
especially those whose privilege it
has been to hear him preach. Rev.
Mr. johnson, at the age of 85,
often breaches to his former
charges here and has a standing in
vitation to officiate at McFerrin
School on each anniversary of the
birth of George Washington. He
began preaching in the Methodist
Church in 1858 and was retired
only a few years ago,
"When I come to conference, as
try to do each year, and hear the
presiding elder recommend each of
the brethren by saying, as the roll
is called, Nothing against him. l
only hope that when | go to my re-
ward, which probably will be soon,
the great presiding elder will pass
me through the portals with the re-
mark, Nothing against him."

mato sticks, tie them up and place
under the shelter. Then haul off all
cabbage stubs, tomato vines and
other stalks, to a gully, for to leave
them on the ground might spread
plant diseases. Then come in the
garden with good pillow, starting
in the center and pillow eight to ten
inches deep. While in the garden
with pillow bed up and double bed
for English peas, two or more rows
for onions, and two or more rows
for cabbage, and the remaining part
can either be ridged up three feet
apart or left flat broken. If garden
is of a wet nature, ridging is better.
The onions can be planted at once
and plans made to plant the peas
and cabbages before the 18th of
February. AS soon as the blowing
is done a coat of barnyard manure
should be applied broadcast. Having
this manure on top not only does
as much good but prevents hard
packing of the garden by heavy
rains. Plan to put out two or more
rows of strawberries this fall or
early spring. These should be put
out on one side of the garden as
we'll as one row of Said onions.
In the spring as the planting sea-
son approaches and at the first dry
spell, the Irish potatoes, and other
crops can be planted after rework-
ing that space of land. Too often
wet springs prevent early prepare
ration while if such is done in fall
planting of the early crops can be
done regardless of a wet spring,
and the crops requiring February
planting can be put out. Plan to
save all tobacco stems and sweep
ings from the barn or keep a few
pounds Of Tugs, and apply to the
early growing beans, cabbage and
later on the melons. These are not
only good fertilizer but proven
tive for insects"

Chestnut Glade
School Has a Big
Agricultural Day

On last Friday, the Chestnut
Glade school teachers, cooperating
with the good patrons of the COM
munity, put on the third annual
corn, pig and agricultural show.
More than 1000 people gathered at
the school building and viewed the
exhibits and watched the various
contests by the school pupils. Twen-
ty-one out of the twenty-five pig
club members brought in fine pigs,
13 out of ID corn club members
brought in corn exhibits, 10 out of
10 poultry club members brought in
pens of pure bred poultry, and %
members of the sewing club girls
made excellent exhibits of sewing
collections. In addition to the club
exhibits many exhibits of poultry
were brought in by ladies.
Bonnie Cummings won first prize
on Duroc and Gallon Etheridge first
on Poland China. Bonnie started
with pig weighing 16 pounds and
ended with one weighing PIT. Ga
Ions pig weighed 81 pounds at the
beginning and $40 at the end. Bill
lie Wilson had the heaviest pig, it
weighing 395 pounds, making a dali
ly gain of 1877 pounds, and Vascoe
Simpson second heaviest, his pig
weighing 1882 pounds and making a
daily gain of 1893. All the contests
were interesting and competition
keen. Some as fine hogs and poul-
try as could be seen in the state
were on exhibit, and the show was
indeed credGtable. Much credit is
due the school teachers and the
committee of patrons.
Prizes were awared as follows;
Corn Club Prizes.-Best 10 ears,
Maynard Feed, first; D. j. Jones,
second. Those receiving SOC each

r
ly lives. The industrialism of Amer
lea is steam roller that is crushing
out the light and love of our lives.
We must not lose our poise and
grow confused in its bog, but return
to our Bible and be guided by the
Word of God, and so conduct our
lives as to stamp under foot the
dragons of greed and selfishness
that are knocking at the door of
our minds and hearts"
Prof. Morelock attacked national
partisan politics and gave voice to
reverent hope that American
statesmen will be guided by BROTH
erly love and the highest conces-
sions of christian life when the
mighty problems are being settled
in Washington at the international
arms parley.
"Twice in recent American histo.
ry has the power. of gold thwarted
the desires of our presidents to do
lasting service to our country and
the world" he said, as he pointed
out Roosevelt's labor decisions and
Wilson's heroic effort to make
America party to the peace treaty,
both of which he said failed because
of short-sighted selfishness, greed
and avarice.

Wild Elephants Against Horsemen

In Burmah wild elephants are pit
ted against horsemen and elephant rid
ers. and often rout their trained rela-
tives by the reckless fury of their at
tacks The "cornac" has to stick to
his seat while his hutti quirts and
careens around like an exploding loco
motive or encounters his adversary
with the force of a catapult. Fight
ing elephants guard their trunks by
doubling them up like a clinched fist,
while using their heads like battering
rams or they stand shoulder to Shout
der, after the manner of the fighting
boars, and after a prelude of side
long pushes, suddenly hew away at
each other with their tusks. During
the process of the duel the hutti seems
to forget or ignore his rider, but if he
has received fatal wound the
cornacs have to jump off and run for
their lives, experience having shown
that wounded elephants generally ex-
pire in a paroxysm of rage.-Detroit

HEAD BINDING IN SOUTH SEAS
Natives of Tomman Island Cling to a
Curious Custom, Which Seems
to SAVIOR of Cruelty.

The old men of Tomman Gan island
of the New Hebrides, South Pacific
told me that heads nowadays are not
what they were in olden, times, writes
Martin johnson in Asia Magazine.
They said what found hard to be-
lieye-that the craniums of their an
cestors were twice as long as those
of present-day islanders.
Romantics are not born with long
heads, but the head Of. each baby is
bound in order to make the shape of
his Uranium conform to local ideas Of
beauty. When he is few days old,
his mother puts on his head bonnet
woven from human hair, which she
soaks with oil, until she thinks the
little skull is softened. Over this
bonnet goes loose woven basket of
cocOnut fiber. The fond mother pulls
the strands of the basket tight, and
each day bit tighter, until the skull
can be compressed no further
When the little Tommanite is about
year old, he energies from his
wrappings with a beautifully elon-
gated, pointed skull, the pride of his
mother.
