On account Of the lateness Of
warm weather this spring and
the condition of roads the Sand

was scheduled to be held at
Askov on April Goth. has been
postponed until Friday evening,
May 4th. BY that time the roads

very desirable to have a good at
tendance so that the boys may
realize something for their eff

in the way Of buying music and
other necessities continually.
The concert to be given at Sand
stone by the same joint organizar
ton will be after the Askov con-
cert, but the date has not yet
been decided upon.
The two bands had another
good rehearsal at Askov Tuesday
evening when they labored "a
solid hours. After the rehearsal
some of the wives Of the band

ANIMALS may be planted in cold

Lilac and some other shrub
branches taken into the home and

Get material ready to spray the

work must be done at the right

The spray ring saves money for
the fruit grower. From FIVE to
a dozen growers are plenty TO
form one. This is a good year
to try it out.
One of the local florists used

LIVESTOCK PARTNERSHIP

A livestock partnership plan is
recommended by w. H. Peters
chief of the division of animal

plan works equally well with the
owner and renter.
so long as dad is boss and all
the boy has to do is to work there

tion," says Mr.. Peters. Some of
the country's most successful
farms are now being operated on
the livestock partnership plan,
the chief requisite of which is
that both land owner and renter
be intelligent, broad-minded men,
The principal item in the con-
tract for such a partnership is
that the owner put his invest
ment in land and buildings
against the renters management
and labor. Usually the renter
supplies machinery and horses
and all labor for operating farm.
The farm is operated as live
stock enterprise. and livestock
and other products of the farm
are divided on a fifty-fifty basis;
also expenditures.
Sometimes it is necessary for

ports of the work done since the
last meeting, the work of the
Daily Vacation Bible school was
taken up. The county presi-

port of the work done through
out the state in this particular
work and gave statistics showing
that in the last four years the
number of Daily Vacation Bible
schools had grown from 1900 to
5000 this last year with $4,000
teachers and 100000 scholars
This is an increase of over 80 per
cent over the previous year. Rev.
L. o. Lee, former Presbyterian
pastor at Hinckley, but now of
Cavalier, N. d., being present,
gave a splendid talk along this
line of work, and said in part:
"a democratic people must be
able to think clearly and act
righteously, and the world will
never be safe for democracy I'M
til intelligence and goodness are

the militaristic tendencies which
he claims have become even more
apparent in most countries after
the world war than they were
prior to 1914.

feeling that the spirit of the Lord
was upon him while he welded the
sword Of the spirit with SO much

he held his audience in profound

In closing his masterpiece he

United States will celebrate. 1t is
A day very near and dear to the
citizenship of this country.
In Mississippi where one of the
hottest political campaigns ever
witnessed is in full blast, politicians
will let loose a flood of oratory
such as is seldom heard. But it will
be well for the voters not to be
carried away with the spellbinders.
This is a day and time for sound
reason and intelligence to rule. Too
often do we lend ear to the liquid
flow of a word juggler to our great
harm after the ballots are counted
and the candidate is in office.
There are many good men seek
ing office this year. Also there are
some who have been too long in
public favor and should be relegated
to the political Scrapheap.
The good and the bad will un-
doubtedly have their best orators
scattered throughout Mississippi for
gatherings The day is one given
over 10 pdlTlOllSHl, anu Will DdHuS
playing. flags flying, and the in
fluence of an old time Mississippi
barbecue feed, it would be mighty
easy for one to listen to the Sc
ductive voice of a candidate who,
if elected, might fall far short of
his Fourth of July promises.
Keep your mind open for con-
viction, if you will, but remember
four years is a long time, especially
if you put the wrong man in office.
