any time in July, and don't TOOL
Yourself into thinking your spring
potatoes just as good. Use your IA
vorite in the spring, but insist on

We leave our fall crop in the ground
all winter, not digging more than
neck at a time. Try a peck this
year and SEE the difference.
A GOOD MOTTO
1t never will do to lie down on the
job,
If you do you surely will be crushed
by the mob.
This wheels of the world will pass
over your neck,
The thing to do is to stand erect,
With your head held high, your
feet pressed firm,
Your hands outstretched to grasp
\ what you earn:
Your eyes aglow, on your lips
Song,
A prayer in your heart, your muscles
strong.
Be kind to others, to yourself be
true,
And you'll get from the world what
is coming to YOU
II you go after 1t.
ELIZA S. DAVIS.
Isn't that a good motto? Don't
try to live up to just a part of it. 1t
is like some things that we eat, and
are necessary for our well being,
the whole of it must be assimilated
to do the most goou. good to your
self and to the world.
for-nofhing sort, we also know the
sort that stand erect, with head held
high, and hands outstretched, to
grasp what they earn" and some
times more than they earn, if they
are dealing with the sort that lie
down on the job. But let us take
it all and
with a prayer in the heart, be kind
to others, to yourself be true
And get from the world what is
coming to YOU
And go out and get it,
While / am writing these lines a
hooking bird is in a Grape myrtle.
He is filling the air with melody,
broadcasting his good cheer all
around here, but those bright eyes
are also looking for something to
help the family living. He is not
sitting there and leaving his wife
to do the work while he entertains
the outside world. He is kind to
others and to his home he is true.
Hot weather has come at last. !
read some time ago that a weather
prophet had said that we would not
have any summer till after the sum
mer solstice, and it seemed to me
he was going to be correct The
merchants are smiling, the laborers
laughing; work time means pay day
and prosperity.
1t comes hard for us to buckle
down to the duties summer brings,
but that is the only way to get alons
and not be a member of that con-
temptible class called "quitters,
the sort that as long as every thing
goes right are willing to do enough
to try to fool the other fellow into
dividing half with him. There never
was season that moro appropriately
emphasizes the word of the Bible:
Go to the ant thou sluggard, con
slider her ways and be wise" Some
parts of the world will go hungry
this fall, if all Of US do not try to store
at lCclSC a lILIlS IIlOl eHdu we Will
need; sell it, or give it to the needy
when the time comes. And also
while you are putting up your stores
if you see a garden, or fruit tree,
that is wasting the good things that
can, be used this winter, because the
owner has more pressing duties, it
is a Christian duty for you to take,
that neighbours substance and fix
it so it can be utilized later. You
need not be "Buttinsky." You
ought to live on such good terms with
those needing, help that you can do
such things and not seem officious.
In every community there are some
people folks can't get along with
They, as a rule. are the sort that
grasp not only what they earn but
get as much of the other fellows as
can be ''hogged down."
Trust in the Lord and do righr,
and thou shalt inherit the EARTH
