IN MEMORIAM

Died at her home in our little town. April [. 1923, Miss Lois Phillips. age II years and 6 days.
 She is survived by her father and mother Mir. and Mrs D. w Phillips and host of relatives and friends.
 All the care and love that a skilled physician and an anxious household and friends could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance were brought into play. but the fiat of Him who rules our incomings and Outgoings had been issued.
 After a brief struggle despite the prayers of all who knew and loved her their appeals were Overruled. and just after the beautiful spring day had been kissed by the rays of the setting sun. her spirit took its flight to the great beyond.
 Much has been taken from this lOne- ly father and mother. their only child the jewel of their home, and from the many relatives and friends sweet ties have been severed, yet fadeless mem ories are theirs.
 We mourn but not without hope Through its gloom there comes back a bright beam of sunshine which turns our tears into jewels of promise, Through the mist that gathers We hear the tumult and roar. but God hath set the bow of His promise. He leaves us not alone in the presence of the un- known.
 The last services were held at Mt. Olive Cemetery at 3 80 o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, April s. 1923 Rev Becker officiating. Her favorite songs were touchingly rendered by the choir.
 The flowers were many and beauti- full. but not nearly so beautiful as the sweet face that rested so peacefully among them. Beautiful in life, beau tiful in death, but far more beautiful in the resurrection morn.
 Thus we leave her and in memory keep her, sweetly repOsing among the beautiful and fragrant flowers.
 A friend.

tai and spiritual side Of these ques-
tons to the practical, to the funda- \
mentals we have been working on,
or for, all this year. If you are IN
business for yourself have you been
conservative and kept within your
actual income? l don't mean have
you been narrow nor stingy, but
have kept from "splurging?" 1t is
a temptation to buy something that
you know is really cheap when you
also know you have not the money
to spare; I know good automobile
sold for exactly fourth Of its cost,
the man who sold it was able to lose
for he had the chance to get into
something that would pay him bet
ter. But the man who bought that
car did not have a cent to spare for
a car, he had to put off creditors and
sell things at a loss to get the money
and was not in a position to make
cent from running the car. His
neighbors had cars and he wanted to
splurge. See?
On the farm there is much gnash-
ing of teeth this fall for many who
had cotton last year as surplus
crop went crazy and doubled their
are now wishing that they had never
seen a lock. If those farmers have
lived within their incomes, in other
words, if they have had butter, eggs
and pigs to sell as they need supplies
they are fortunate, and If they have
corn, hay and hogs to kill when the
time comes they are to be congratu-
| lated. Do you remember any or the
things that I told you about Den
mark and her cooperative spirit?
That is the only way for the south
to get out of the hands of the money
lenders. We must make up our
minds to plant enough for the market
to be supplied from our own and
from our neighbors, freight added
plays havoc.
AS I lifted my eyes from this let
| ter I saw these lines: 81 am going
to talk to you like a Dutch uncle
and maybe some of you are thinking
that [ have taken the place of that
| individual. If I can get you to
right about face and begin to raise
what you need, with just little
over, shall be pleased. Planting
cotton to buy corn to plant more
cotton and eventually losing every
thing is not good, common sense.
Start your pasture right now Il you
have none, then get two good cows,
a thrifty sow and some really good
hens and start right now to make
your family proud Of you. They
may love you, but that is not
enough, don't be too stubborn to
admit that you wife is right, know
she has fought all-cotton as much as
have. Right here sorghum is
selling for a dollar and a quarter
gallon. Will the same acreage, of
cotton pay the horse hire? NIf
sorghum should be cheap it could be
fed to the stock at a profit; can you
feed cotton to anything but the
! worms?

of Cough Remedy
Really better than ready-mnde
cough -yrups, and saves about 81.
Easily and quickly prepared.
Observation-Disclosures!

If you combined the curative prop.
critics of every known "ready- made"
cough remedy, you probably could
not get as much real curative power
as there is in this simple homemade
cough syrup, which is easily prepared
in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 21a ounces
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill tie bottle with syrup, using
either PLAIN granulated sugar syrup,
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, az desired. The result is a
full pint of really better cough syrup
than you could buy ready made for
three times the money. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of cough and
gives almost immediate relief. 1t
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickla and heals the sore, irri-
tated membranes so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, hoarseness and bronchial asth-
ma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used for
generations to break severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2H2 ounces Of Pinex"
with full directions, and don't accept
ANYTHING else. Guaranteed to give

Bob White and the Dog
Perfection only is attained
BY those who are most fully
fraipnH


By those who are most fully
trained.
Old Mother Nature.
Bob White had just explained to
Peter Rabbit that dogs were just
as much his enemies as they were
Peters enemies, but they were a.
different kind of dog. And then he
had exclaimed, There comes one
noW!'
At once Peter sat up that be
might sec better. Sure enough, there
was a dog in that very field. He was
wholly different from Bowser the
Hound and from the strange dog
who had chased Peter that morning.
The hair Of his coat was long. Long
hair hung from his tail. He was
running swiftly back and forth in
such a way as to cover every part of
that field, and, instead Of having
his nose to the ground, as Bowser
the Hound would have had his, it
was held up.
There was no hunter in sight. AS
soon as he had made sure of this,
Bob White turned to Peter. 'I'n
give you a chance, Peter, to see how
one of these dogs hunts for me-
said he, and ran a short distance in
the brown grass. Finally he crouch
ed close to the ground under a little
clump of weeds.
Peter watched that dog. Very pref
ty he looked as he ran swiftly back
and forth, back~and forth, all the
time drawing nearer and nearer.
Peter backed down into the hole
just behind him and squatted there,
with just his head out, so that he
might see. Nearer and nearer came
that big deg. He was almost to the
place where Bob White had been
running. He was going past it, when
he turned suddenly and stopped. He
had caught Bob Whites scent.
Peter expected to see him rush
forward eagerly, yelping or baying.
He did nothing of the kind. He made
no sound. He stole forward slowly
and carefully much as Reddy Fox
| would have done. With his wonder.
full nose he followed every turn Bob
White had made. Gradually he drew
| nearer and nearer to the clump OF
| weeds under which Bob White was
| hiding. Peter began to grow nerv
Gus. Why didn't Bob White take tc
| those stout wings of his and get
away? That dog was almost within
springing distance. Peter held his
breath. He expected to see that dog
spring on Bob White. He didn't
want to see such dreadful thing
happen, but for the life of him he
couldn't help looking.
The dog took one more step, and
then a strange thing happened. With
one forepaw lifted and bent, ready
fcr another step, that dog stopped

he had been frozen stiff just as he

Peter began to wonder if something

the dog moved forward. Then he

DATA ON THE MANAGEMENT
OF ROSES

OF ROSES
D. D. b, Cambridge, Ca,
writes: I have been trying to
grow roses for thre eyears, but
the bushes seem to grow smaller
each year. 1 have a good loca-
ton for roses, and use fertilz-
er, yet 1 have not been success
full. [ will appreciate your advice
in the matter.
You do not state on what charac-
ter of soil you have planted your
roses. If the land is gray in color
due to an excessive amount of sand,
the procedure would be along one
line. If it is a red soil, or if there is
a heavy clay soil lying below the
surface, the policy you should fol-
low would be quite different. In your
section of Georgia, there is a good
deal of land o fthe type known as
Greenville sandy loam., This is not
a rich soil, being quite deficient in
the primary elements concerned in
the growth and development Of
shrubby plants Of the nature Of
roses. Sandy soils, as you doubtless
know, may be quite deficient in all
of the ESSENTIAL plant food elements.
The writer is very much interested
in the icultivation of roses and has
raised many varieties with a consid-
cradle degree of success. Naturally,
the experiences of those interested in
a proposition of this character will
often coincide. My own personal diff
ficulties have been overcome by the
following procedure, and [ suggest
them for your consideration.
First of all, 1 have found 1t de-
sirable to make a rose bed very rich
with well-rotted yard manure. This
should be forked we'll into the soil.
1t may be put in at any time from
this date forward. Completely cover
the ground from three to four inches,
and then fork the manure into the
soil. Sometimes this results in bring
ing a considerable amount Of clay to
the surface. I have overcome this
difficulty by scattering a little sand
on top of the bed and mixing it with
the surface soil. OF course, it goes
without saying that roses must be
planted on ground that is well-drain-
ed, thereby insuring the roots not
standing in water. This may happen
sometimes even on upland soils.
Roses should be very literally fer
tilted. AS you doubtless know, the
theory Of rose production is to pro-
duce fresh sprouts or branches on
which large flowers are to be de-
veloped. One desires to do this in the
shortest possible space Of time. One

IF NOT RIGHT CHANGE: If
RIGHT STICK

RIGHT STICK
"Behold the postage stamp. my son;
Consider it's real worth;
Though modest 1t can make it's way
To any place on earth.
"Just bear the postage stamp in
mind;
Twill help you turn the trick;
You, too, can win to any goal,
If you will only stick"
Edgar Daniel Cramer.
Just three more months in this
year of grace, and then we will
have it as a turned leaf that we
cannot change. Will it not be better
Nfor all of us to stop right now and
see if we, cannot retrieve some Of
the lost time; the mistakes. the en-
rors of judgment that may have
started last fall?
There is another lesson to be
learned from the postage stamp, it
has the Endorsement. of power be-
hind it that the world knows is good
for it's debts, that no matter how
many of them are out, like wings,
bearing words of business, love, or
condemnation that stamp is good
for the amount that has been print
ed on its face. 1t is worth one hun
dred cents on the dollar, and when
sent in or on a letter is accepted for
the amount called for.
Is your word as good as that?
Are You careful to buy no more than
you can pay for? Have you lived
such a life that when you say a
thing it does not have to be taken
with a grain of salt?" Have you
exercised good judgment, and when
you say a thing is just so large,
small, fine or poor, the one wanting
to purchase from you will not have
to divide it by two to get an exact
proportion Of the truth?
It is we'll for all of us to talk
with out past and see what report
has been written down, and to
strive to make each day better than
the other. And right here is where
the "stick-to-it-ivenes comes in, we
can't make a good record one day
and the next willingly fall back to
the way we have been doing, we
must really try each day to be lit
tie better, a little finer in feelings
and a little nearer our Great Teach
er if we expect to succeed. There is
more in life than sitting still and
watching, and waiting and envying
the successful man or woman. We
often hear people say che was born
lucky" that may be, in a sense,
true; but we have no idea how many
obstacles were overcome that the
world knew nothing about. That
luck may have been that he, or she
stuck to the main idea, and let
nothing turn the path that had been
marked out from the first. We may
have to fight inherited tendencies,
but fight them.
And now let us pass from the men.

temperament. If she dislikes taking
authority, he is the autocrat of the
breakfast table. Otherwise he is the
Prince Consort, with none so poor
as to do him reverence.
Most men let their wives rule the
roost because it saves them a lot of
bother and worry. They have all
they can wrestle with in deciding
the big issues of their business, and
when they come home at night they
don't want to have to take up a new
set of problems and fresh batch
Of trouble. So theyAet Mary do it.
And there is this to be said for
the bossy wife. The home means
much more to her than it does to
her husband. He is only in it for
a few hours a day. 1t is where she
spends all of her time. Therefore, it
is more important for it to be To-
Gated where she likes to live, and
furnished according to her taste, and
run on her plan, than it is for it to
be exactly as he likes it. She should
have the right of way in the matter.
Likewise mother is better &C.
quainted with her children than
their father is, and, generally speak
ing, is better able to decide wisely
upon problems affecting their well
fare.
But why should there be any SUI
preme ruler of the home? Why
should either husband or wife ar
rogate to himself or herself the right
n To- vi iS h n
in which a man and woman pool
everything they have in life, and
they have equal rights and privi-
leges in it, just as they would have
in a business partnership. 1t takes
both a husband and a wife to make
a happy home. They must work to.

The ruler of every home should be
two-headed, as some of the Indian
idols are. DOROTHY DIX
Dear Dorothy Dix:-I have a
daughter who is about grown. She
is an extremely pretty girl, and un-
usually intelligent, but from child
she has been morbid, sensitive and
had an ungovernable temper. 1 have
hoped that, as she grew older, she
would learn to control herself, but
her faults grow upon her so that 1t
is almost impossible to live in the
house with her. In fact, we send her
off to school in order that the bal
ance of the family may have peace.
1 can see nothing but sorrow ahead
for my poor child, and 1 wonder If
you can tell me anything 1 can do
for her? TROUBLED MOTHER.
Answer: There is nothing you can
do for her now. It is too late. You
should have done it for her in the
cradle, and it should have taken the
form Of the severest punishment
your conscience allowed. When Sol
ONION made his well-known remark
about sparing the rod and spelling
the child he said something, in spite
of all the weakened, spineless old
ladies of both sexes. Some children
will yield to moral suasion. Others
require a bed Stat, and that's all
there is to it. You have got to curb
a brute nature with brute force. and
with brutal means. 1t is all that they
! can understand.
