There can be no home after Gods
plan where the love that is its at
mosphere is not expressed. The scene
in the house of Simon is true to the
nature of these friends of the home.
Martha is in charge and food is the
means she uses. 1t was Markham
Juggler who gave US what he had Of
tricks in the Chapel of Mary that was
credited with holy worship. 1t is not
the form that it takes as it is the eX-
preston that is vital in the love
lighted home. Lazarus sat silent but
he was next to the Master, yaU may
be sure. 1t was Mary who did some
thing that Martha could never have
been driven or paid to do. She had
been saving the finest perfume she
could find for the amounting of the
dead body of Jesus, but she could not
wait. She would pour some drops
upon Him where he reclined at the
table, but the seal was tight 1t was
to be all or nothing. She smashed
the container and all the room was
odorous with the fragrance. 1t brot
her into sudden notice, but her love
had its way and even the most critical
received a share of her gift. Such is
Gods home. Whoever enters it be-
comes speedily aware that there is a
fragrance within it that is not found
elsewhere. That first home caught
all the perfume Of the garden and it
was brought back in this Bethany cot
tage where love expressed itself in
many forms but always with the
pressed flower of sacrificing passion
in its heart.
THE WORK GIVER
Jesus brushed aside all cavil and
criticism and crowned the deed as He
crowned the home with approval.
Practically is necessary but woe be-
tide the man who is never anything
else. God is practical too but He
broke His alabaster box in express
ing His love for His world. Jesus
added the wonderful promise that
such work should become the partner
Of His cross. For wherever this Cos
pei shall be preached thruout the
whole world, this also that she hath
done shall be spoken Of. Here for all
time Jesus linked the home that is
His in its expression Of sacrificing
love with the work that should be
done thru the story OF lis own death.
So here is the road along which any
home maker may walk in bringing
in the Kingdom: make Him lord OF
the home, let the sense Of His pres
ence be its life, and fill it with love,
shared even with the unworthy.

The great Laymens' Conference of
all protestant churches will be held

conference will be much larger than
was thought. The committee is hav-
ing some difficulty I'm securing
rooms for the delegates, since the
Edwards House has gone out of busi-
ness.
Within the last few months, the
laymen of Mississippi have become
vastly interested in enlarging their
scope of activity, and viii lay plans
at this time for broaded field of
work. An active lay membership in
any church is of inestimable assist
ance to the pastor and can be OF
great help to him In his work.
Many pastors will attend the con-
ference and assist in directing plans.

NEGRO ESCAPES
FROM COUNTY JAIL
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Sam Wright, Negro Charged With
Burglary, Digs Hole In Brick
Wall and Makes His 0et-a-Way
Last Friday Night.

Sam Wright, the negro who had
been In Jail here for about three
weeks, made his escape through a
hole dug in the wall last Friday
night.
Saturday morning, Sheriff Harri-
son went to the Jail to carry the
negro's breakfast to him. He could
not find him anywhere, and upon
investigation, found large hole in
the brick wall, where he made his
escape, 1t is thought that he had
help from the outside, possibly from
some of his relatives.
No trace of the missing negro has
been found yet. The belief Is that he
got In car or buggy directly after
leaving the jail.
Wright is the negro who was put
In Jail for going In all Of the stores
and helping himself to all kinds OF
merchandise, making entrance by
front door, as he had keys to fit
almost all the local stores.

FARMER CHANGES
BANKING SYSTEM
AFTER 40 YEARS
Attempted too Make Small Deposit
In Bank Each Yeas. Funds Ex-
hausted. Is Now Going to En-
rich the Soil.

A few days ago fermer appeared
in a county agents office and placed
an order for some acid phosphate,
nitrate of soda, soy beans and velvet
beans. Then I'm a frank way made
the statement that he was going to
change his banking system the new
year.
Then he proceeded with his story
and In part stated that forty years
ago he settled upon his present farm,
and began the production of cotton
and attempted each year TO make
enough money TO place small de-
posit In his bank in the neighbOrins
town that he had followed the sys-
tenn all of these many years of TAX
ing from the soil and trying to place
money in the town bank. Now his
deposits In the bank have become
exhausted. in fact, he Is now having
to borrow from the banker to Oper-
ate on an almost exhausted soil.
Under the new system he is start
ing deposit In the soil. Phosphorus
and nitrogen are needed. Acid phos-
phate and nitrate of soda contain
=.
draw nitrogen from the air to the
soil Tor plant use are being planted.
He stated that his Idea was gotten
from his neighbor two years ago,
who planted velvet beans and soy
beans In his corn field and had no
decrease in the production of corn
caused from the planting Of these
beans, but in 1922 go SO per cent
more corn on the velvet bean and
soy bean land than he did where
he had no beans. In addition, last
year he saw strong evidences Of the
value of nitrate of soda and acid
phosphate. Where 200 pounds acid
phosphate and 100 pounds nitrate
Of soda were used, there was an In
crease In the production of from 40
co so per cent.
There is no doubt but what this
farmer is starting the new year
right. His steps are ikened unto
thousands of other farmers of Mis-
sissippi. Others can profit by follow
ing suit.
If nitrate of soda is~purchased be-
fore January 15, 1t will cost only
$4,000 per ton, plus freight. There
is no doubt but what it will be higher
after that date. Money viii be
saved on acid phosphate and seeds
Of all kinds If purchased early be-
fore planting through the county
agent or farm bureau.

COTTON GROWERS IN
SOUTHERN STATES
TO COOPERATE
American Cotton Association Now In
Session at Atlanta, Planning Ways
TO Eradicate the Boil WeeviI;
Leading Farmers Present.

An immediate response Of the
Southern cotton growers In pledglng
their fullest cooperation in the
national campaign to eradicate the
boil weevil, followed the launching
of the campaign on January 3rd, by
the American Cotton Association.
This announcement was made today
by Colonel Harvie Jordan, secretary
Of the Association.
A campaign for conducting demon
stration farms for boil weevil con-
troll In the various counties Of the
cotton belt and calling for vOlun-
teers who would furnish demOnStra-
tion plots Of from ten TO twenty
acres each and work them under the
direction of experts, resulted in a
deluge OF letters from every cotton
state highly endorsing the plan and
promising every possible co-opera-
ton.
Leading farmers in half of the
counties in Georgia have already
filed these applications for demon
stration farms. Farmers in nearly
every county In South Carolina have
done so. and growers In large pro-
portion of the remaining $40 cotton
producing counties throughout the
cotton belt have made their applica-
lions. This widespread and enthHsis
astic response, according to the cam
paign officials, will greatly assist in
the success of the nation wide move
ment to control the boil weevil, pro-
vided sufficient funds are raised
quickly from those interested In the
preservation of the cotton industry
to put the plan In practical opera
ton.
The national war on the boil
weevil that has been launched will
call for an expenditure. of $4,000
900. 90, one-half Of which will be
used TO carry on an immediate hight
against the boil weevil by bringing
the best and latest practical methods
of weevil control TO the cotton grow
ers In every one of the $40 counties
Of the cotton states. The other half
will be spent in establishing and
maintaining Scientific Research
Commission for Boil Weevil Control,
which will be composed of the great
est scientists Of the nation, who will
devote the full force of their genius
to the discovery OF some method to
permanently exterminate the insect
that threatens to ruin the American
cotton industry.
The purpose Of the entire CAM
paign is to lower the production cost
OF cotton to the individual cotton
grower by eliminating as much as
possible the ravages of the boil
weevil, and thus increase the yield
per acre to the normal amount pro-
duced prior to infestation Of the cot
ron belt by the pest.

Of turkeys in one week just before

Texas and cost about $2,000,O00, and
is the largest 7. B. hospital In the
state, built for the benefit of Texas
soldiers. and patients from other

People here tell ME that the banks
Of the Guadalupe River are lined with
tourists and campers from early
spring until late in the fall-people
not only from Texas but from all
over the united states come here.
