ENJOY THE GAME

= ENTLENIEN who play golf will
~ tell YOU that the man who tries
too hard never does very we'll at it.
Incidentally. he never gets any fun
out Of the game.
= There are many parallels between
golf and life, which is doubtless the
reason that so many people are devOt-
ed to it.
Golf. of course, is game, and only
q game Yet there are many of its
followers who can see only the advan-
tage of winning. and who come in sour
and ill-tempered if they lose.
Others, While they try to win, get
Just as much fun out of it if they lose.
And they never stamp or their clubs tr
throw them away,-or swear at the cad-
dies.
It Is very important to win in any.
thing. But it is more important to get
your allowance Of fun out of it as you
60 along.
Sitting wheezily in any rich mans
club you will find old gentlemen who
wanted to win more than anything
else, and who did win fortunes, but
lost their health and their happiness
in the effort And, with all their mon
ey, you can set them down as losers.
There is good craftsmanship in all
human effort. There are things the
good sportsman will not do, even to
win. One of them is cheating; another
is becoming so absorbed in the pursuit
of victory that he forgets everything
else as he goes along.
John Burroughs, who probably never
Lad more than the necessities Of life In
ail his existence, got full measure of
enjoyment that was denied to many
v no made a thousand times as much
money. Incidentally, he was very
successful man, for he added to the
sum OF human knowledge.
Win if you can. Get a fortune if yod
can. Money means independence, anC
the ability to do good in the world.
But never forget that there is enjoy
ment as we'll as trouble in life, and
that if you are not too intent on win
ming what the world calls success, you
will be happier as you go along. and
stand just as good a chance of making
your life worth while, and the world
better off because you lived in it.

Now il The Time 70 Lay Foundation For
Successf1.. Szrna;ng
By W. M. Goodman, Editor farming" Knoxville Tenn

Farmers in the cotton belt should
have a program that will insure
abundant food and forage crops, ANA
plenty of meat and bread for home
use, 80 that money crops may be
raised at less expense and the cash
received for them so much in their
pockets, or ''anks, to be saved, or
spent, as may be desired.
To put farming oa a sound business
basis, We must look first to the con-
servation and improvement of soils.
The farmer should see the importance
of making preparations for speeding
up production next year, and should
lay plans at this time for cover crops
of legumes or rye, TO protect the soil
from lea aching and washing during the
heavy rains of winter and early
spring, and to furnish organic matter.
which our soils require. He should
hear in mind that lime is necessary TO
success with ieyumes and other crops,
and that most Of our soils med lime.
An application Of two tons Of puf-
verlzed limestone per acre can bring
about astonishing results.

3rd. A wide range of crops, boTh
summer and winter. present an un.

stock production"
All Of these economic conditions are
contributing to the development of the
South as a great farming country.
The change Is under way, and every
farmer should take advantage Of these
conditions and see that the change
is made on his own farm.
We can increase the producing
power of soils-make our farms self
supporting-and make money: but not
under cid methods that have been
leaving 80 many farms and their OVID
ers poorer every year, The way TO
success is found in a system of d.
versified farming that includes live
stock in its program.
Look to the Foundation
Soil improvement is the foundation
Of successful farming. Lime, phos-
phate, legumes and livestock will give
US this foundation-brains, energy,
and enterprise will give US everything
else We should have to make farming
a profitable industry and farm life IN
the South the most attractive Of all
to those who would get out Of life the
best OF everything worth whiie.

VIVIAN

THE charming name OF Vivian Is al
L most the equivalent OF the adjec-
tive "yivacious." 1t means lively. hav-
Ing been derived from the Latin vita
sagnffying life. and was used by the
Roman Christians to- express their
hopes Of eternity.
The first feminine name formed
from vita is Viva, name made fa-
nous by Viva Perpetua. the noble
Eszng matron of Carthage, whose
naartyrdoIR is one of the most touch
sag histories Of the early church. Her
snany votaresses gave vogue to her
name.
In later Roman days Eiriana came
to be popular through Christian
maiden of that name who was put to
death by q Roman governor on the
charge that she had destroyed the
sfght Of one of his eyes by magic.
Much later church was erected over
Aer remains. Her fame and name lin
sefed, and appears prominently again
IN ~Merte d'Arthuf' when Vfvianna is
the eachantress Of King Arthur's
court
Seefland took over the name Of
Vivian, applying it as both mascu-
tine and feminine name. France adopt
ed the masculine form as Vivien and
straightway formed the now-popular
feminine Vivienne. England has al.
ways favored Vivian and America re-
eeived and popularized the name un-
der that spelling. Viviana is the ia
sored form Ia Spain and Italy, the lat
ter country still employing the early
Roman VIVA
yivian's talismanic gem is the life

promises her dauntless courage, bodily
health and strength, and dispels evil
pirifs. To dream of it signifies unex-
pected guests. Friday is her lucky day
and three her lucky number. The lily,
dgnifying purity. is her flower.
