BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

On last Sunday, Aug. 18th, a de-
lightful surprise was given Mrs. K.
Mehlhorn, by her children, who
gave a picnic luncheon in honor of
her 6lst birthday, at Burton Springs
near Oakdale. The lunch consisted
of all the goodies" imaginable.
The event was one which will long
be remembered and we hope Mrs.
Mehlhorn will have many more
such celebrations. Those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Woods, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bicknell and family, and Mr..
and Mrs. Lehman and family of

THE COUNTY
CONVENTION.

The Thirty sixth Session of the
Morgan County Sunday School AS
sociation met at Deer Lodge on July
2Sth and 29th in regular convention
Deer Lodge is beautiful little town
seven miles from Sunbright, its rail
road station. The christian ladies
and men of this beautiful little town
entertained the convention and
showed every courtesy that could
possibly be shown by any commu-
nifty, town or city. The program
was carried out practically as it was
printed. Several of the speakers
whose names appeared on the pro-
gram were not there but others
took their places and the convention
went on splendidly.
Prof. r. E. johnson of Oakdale,
was with us on Saturday and added
much to the convention with his
fine singing. The success of the
convention owes much to Mr.. JAS
D. Burton, Rev. r. V. Bellamy and
Marshal Brock of Oakdale. Rev. T.
V. Peters of Burrville, Rev. Sivils
of Sunbright, B. M. Brooks OF Rose,
and the good singers who come to
help the convention. Reports from
most of the Sunday Schools of the
county were read or given orally.
A fine report was given by Mr.. Geo
Dagley and Mr.. n. L. Duncan Of
Petros. Petros has two Sunday
Schools and the reports as given by
these two gentlemen were as good
as were ever given in any convention
The good ladies of the town serv-
ed dinner on the ground both days
of the convention. The convention
was invited to hold its session in
Petros and Pine Orchard. The com
mittee selected Petros, for the place
of the next convention.
When the convention adjourned
all felt that this convention was one
of the best the association has had
in a good while. The same officers
were reelected for another year. We
would not do justice to the work OF
the county if we did not say some
thing worthy about our secretary,
Mrs. G. E. Babcock, who has work
ed untiringly for the past two years
for the success of the Sunday
School Association. She deserves
much credit.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

One of the many handicaps under
which the South had to ladOr follow
ing the Civil War, was the inherited
notion among certain class that
work was ignoble and Was a barrier
to admission to the best society.
Before the Civil War the wealthler
classes owned slaves, and their chill
dren were not required to do work
of any kind. They were given clas
sical education and were equipped
for some one of the professions
medicine, law, or the ministry
trained for a career in politics-or
perhaps an endeavor made to fit
them for a career in business in
banking or merchandising.
If there was boy who did not
promise of a career in some one OF
the professions or in banking or
trade, he remained on the farm.
the one who remained on the farm,
was the one who saved the day for
his supposedly more brilliant bro
theirs by his frugality and his plod-
ding methods on the farm.
With the close of the Civil War
the slave labor was lost. Fortunes
were swept away by the war, and
land owners found themselves in
the position of having to do the
work formerly done by slaves. And
they were handicapped by the lack
of working capital. Many of them
followed their work on the farm
under protest, determining to escape
from it to some other business or,
profession at the first opportunity.
They were not looking forward to
farming as a permanent vocation,
and therefore, made no effort to
develope and improve their land.
They followed methods that robbed
the soil of it's fertility. The CALLED
and washed hillsides, fields grown
up with weeds and bushes, dilapi-
dated fences and buildings, a few
years ago gave evidence of this lack
of interest.
Children of parents having this
view point grew up with the belief
that the farm was to be endured
only until some opportunity offered
to get away from it. The industrial
developement of the South offered

many of the opportunities they were
looking for.
But some of our native citizens
became interested in better agricul
ture, and inaugurated soil improve
ment and better live stock pro-
grams. Some farmers from the
nothern states, in travelling through
I our State, recognized the possibi-
lities here for crop and live stock
production, and some of them set
tied here. The object lesson from
their work opened the eyes Of our
people to the possibilities of our
soil and climate, and helped to
wipe out the prejudice against man
ual labor. Agrilcture is being look
ed on with more favor. Our people
are coming to realize that all labor
is ennobling that is productive of
what the peowle need for their sus-
tenance.
One handicap under which the
farmer has been laboring is the
slump in the prices of farm pro-
ducts, and difficulties have been
made worse by the lack of system
in marketing the produce of the
farm. This is one of the problems
that is gradually being worked out
for the benefit of the farmer and
the consumer of his products. Coop
erative marketing association i'll
many sections of other states have
enabled the farmers to market their
products to advantage, and these
associations have enabled theis pro
ducts to be placed with the consum-
er at a reduced price, thus benefit
ing both the producter and the con-
sumner.
A farmer produced a crop Of
potatoes for which he received IS
cents bushel. In several Of the
bags he placed notes asking the
consumer write him and let him
know what price per bushel he had
to pay for the potatoes. In the
course of time he received reply
from one consumer telling him he
had paid $2,85 per bushel. This
is a wide difference in value from
the producer to the consumer, and
it is this difference that it is pro-
posed to eliminated by market
ing associations. This is one of the
most pressing, if not the most i'm
portant problem that has to be Solv-
ed.
The producer should get in more
direct touch with the consumer by
