As the Wind Blows

This is a big, big country, and
Aans of US can LAY down the law
1nr any section, not even our own
community. We are such a con-
glomeration of nationalities that a
thrifty streak, or an extravaganza ma
ture may be side by side. And the
same law seems now to be in effect
in mother nature. We read of snow
in one section and torriG heat in an
other. / got letters the same day
saying the crops are almost ruined
by drought in one part of the South
and others complained about ram.
Va have had a wet season, hlgh
winds and even frosts in May. Cotton
is rotting in the ground, or it is be-
ing blown off the earth by the winds.
Right now there is such strong
wind blowing, and has been for
twenty four hours, that nothing can
be in it. The young calves are IN
stall, the pigs are banked up in the
turkey house, the hens with young
chickens are confined to their coops.
three cats lie under the stove. and
the fruit trees look like they are
blighted.
Scientists tell us that the sun is
not up to its usual heat, it is spotted
and we are suffering for it. Out of all
this we must find solution for our
difficulties. We must not go too deep
in any enterprise that is likely to
be especially affected by weather
conditions. Pay for what we get and
let new enterprises alone.
There is a difference between
caution and pessimism. We know
that sugar is high, that live stock is
low. If we really need d good ami
NAL, and can pay cash for it, now is
the time to buy it. If we have too
many and can get reasonable price
for a few, now is the time to sell
and save feed. AS I said about poul-
try. this off season is going to make
feed, food and forage high next fall.
l am no prophecies; l am stating
q conclusion that is self-evident. Peo-
pie will continue eating, people can't
be killed off like stock, and we may
have to send off for our provisions.
TheNFarmer says it's not too late
to plant Irish potatoes, and in this
section sweet potato slips are barely
out Of the ground. We can plant
corn until the middle of June. Rape
will grow rank crop, planted nSW;
soy beans won't do we'll until the
ground is warmer.
But don't you see? People can't
starve if they bow to circumstances,
and plant and plan just the things

Small Desires and No Fears

I shall not want.-Ps. 23:1.
was a shepherd boy who
wrote this song about the Lord,
his Shepherd.
David had very little of what
we should call luxury, or abun-
dance, or even comfort, in his
early life.
Plain fare, a lowly couch, the
simplest pleasures; but he was
satisfied.
He felt his soul restored and
enriched by the green pastures
and the still waters.
He knew that God would never
fail to provide him with such
things as he really needed.
It would be we'll for us, amid
the completely and anxiety OF
our modern life, if we would

tress, our poverty, our carking
care come, not from the small
ness of our provisions, but from
the largeness of our pampered
desires.
We are afraid that we shall
not always have cake, and so we
forget that Goo has promised
that his children shall not lack
bread.
We begin to put our foolish
trust in gold, in clever enter
prises, in wise investments, in
daring speculations, because the
things that we want are so
numerous and so costly.
A little plain living would
lead to higher thinking.
1t would do us good, it would
do our children good, if we
should learn the real necessities
and the best joys of human life
are very simple, and for these we
have a right to trust God, if we

Dear Children:
1 wonder how many of you are
sitting cozily by a nice log fire TO-
night, l am, and wish YOU were all
here for a story hour. Here is a
little bit Of a story about old man
Winter.
1t was we'll into spring and the
days were lots longer and the trees
were all waking up and putting on
new green dresses.
Old man Winter had grown tired
and restless and decided he'd jour
ney away to other lands, when he
heard a great whispering among the
leaves and a great twittering among
the birds and a scurrying about OF
the woods folks. Whats all this
about?" said he, "Ill step back a
minute and see"
When he looked on the lovely
scene he was sorry he had to- leave
it, and he was sorry that he had
ever turned the leaves brown
and sent the little birds and animals
away. What can I do, he thought,
to make up to the world for all the
cold dark days of my season? He
passed a tall green bush, brushed
across it and behold lovely white
blossoms,
When the trees and the birds and
the animals saw this and felt the
chilly breezes they exclaimed that
winter was staying a little longer
and they named the flowers Snow
balls" because their blooms seemed
to bring back the breath. of winter.
You will always notice that when
the snowballs bloom we have a
"chilly spell"
Lovingly,
Amt JTTT.IA

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

rated from them, but it the law Of
life that the young birds must leave
the home nest, and the parents who
truly and unselfishly loe their sons
and daughters do not try to clip the
young wings nor hobble the young
feet by dwelling upon how desolat3
they will be wheN left alone.
They strengthen their children
rather than weaken them. They
make the hard things their children
must endure easier by facing them
cheerfully. They do not make their
chldren's load heavier by adding to
it their own whines and complaints.
Unselfish love would not make par
ents try to keep their daughter with
them and prevent her from going
to her husband. Instead, it would
buck her up and give her the grit
and courage to go and do her dNSy
and meet whatever hardshlps may
be waiting for her.
For when a woman marrles. there
can be 10 question as to where her
allegiance lies. 1t is to her hus-
band, to the new firm that she is
helping to found. At the altar she
pledges herself to it's fortunes, and
she is bound to follow these where
ever they lead.
If a woman is not willing to take
sporting chance with a man, she
should never marry him. If she
loves her parents better than she
does him, and they are more nee
essary to her happiness than he is
she should stay single and at home
If she cannot exist outside of some
little community where she sees the
people every day that she has known
all of her life, she should qualify
for spinsterhood and her ancestral
hearthstone.
She shouldn't ruin some goot
