THE BIG REWARD.

They're offerin' a lot of things to
youngsters who enlist,
Like pay, good times in armories, and
such, not to be missed;
But when you stop and use your "nut"
yer bound to realize
That them is only talkin' points, that
there's bigger prize.
It's great to sport uniform and hold
yer head up high,
And note when passin' through a
street, you catch a maiden's
eye;
But that amt it, you'll have it son, if
you but use your brain,
If rights yer heart, you'll get it
quick, it's 'somethin' big and
plain,
You are a man, you've grown up, son,
you have mans work to do,
From shoulders old to shoulders
young, the burden comes to
you;
And if yer worthy of the trust, you
step into your place,
And bear your burden as becomes a
scion Of yer race.
I think you see it now, my boy, I
think you've got the point.
You have a duty to perform when
things is out of joint;
When in the Guard you take yer
place and get prepared to fight
For God, and Uncle Sam, and Home
you know yer doin' right.

directly in the aerial circuit. With
this device the present single circuit
will not have to be discarded and in
reference will be eliminated.
When these instructions arc follow
ed that is picking up the carrier
wave of the sending station by adj
vancing the ticker, your own receiv-
ng set becomes a source of interfer-
cnce for your immediate ncighbors,
due to the radiation of energy by
your detector tube. Should you have
some neighbors with receiving sets,
you should learn to tune with the
tickle adjusted to the point just be-
low where the detector begins to os-
cillate, that is, to make the carrier
waves audible. 1t requires much more
skill and familiarity with the instru-
ment to do this, but with the increas-
ing numbers of receiving stations, it
becoems duty to your neighbors to
learn to keep your set rom oscillat-
ing. The owner of a radio set should
consider the rest of the radio public,
and the best way to do this is to learn
the Fundamentals of radio from good
text book or radio class, and study
the principle and operation of his own
set conscientiously. A little practice
will show you how the set sounds just
before it reaches the oscillating point
and you should strive to keep your
set at this critical adjustment at all
times. This will give you the best re-
suits, and cause practically no inter-
ference to other stations.

Cato-the severest censor of all
Greek and Roman history - will al
ways be remembered for these two
outstanding qualities: the destruction
of Carthage-for which he argued in
every speech he made, until the de-
struction was accomplished; and for
his keen faculty for scrutinizing the
characters of candidates for office,
denouncing false claims, etc. The un-
sparing severity of his censorship
has made his name proverbial.
Perhaps you did not realize that
just such a censorship is being ap-
piled to every product of the Hearn
Oil Company, before that product
leaves the main plant of the company,
in Wilmington.
A graduate chemist, in modernly
equipped laboratory, carefully analy-
yes a sample of each of the products,
tests the ingredients individually and
collectively, and makes sure that the
product to be sent out meets every re-
quired specification.
In this respect our chemist is like
Cato-and he is not only as conscien-
tious, but as severe.
You may feel suer that Hearn Oil
Products are as good as you can buy!

AGRICULTURE

THE articles in this column are
contributed by the Agricultural Elk
tension Department of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, and con-
tain some valuable suggestions to the
farmer.
Below, the two articles are by p.
G. Holden, director Of the Department
above named.-Ed1
Whether the crop is cotton or wheat
or corn, or something else, a one-crop
system is the surest way of making
poor soil, poor people, and a poor
country.
The very first essential to the pros
perty of any state or any community
is the ability Of the people to feed
themselves.
The farmer who would prosper
must have something to sell every day
in the year so that his cotton or his
wheat, or whatever his main crop is,
may be his cash crop.
The man who farms by the one-crop
system is wagering his seasons labor
that nature will be especially kind to
him. He is betting that conditions
for the growth of that particular crop,
conditions which he can not possibly
regulate, will be satisfactory.
If his one crop is wheat, he is gam
bling that he will escape smut, and
rust, drouth, wind and hail, the chinch
bug, Hessian fly, and other crop enc
mics. If his one crop is cotton he is
stalking his seasons work against the
work of the boil weevil.
He may escape smut and rust,
the chinch bug, and the boil weevil,
but he is robbing his soil and he can
not possibly escape the loss of soil
fertility.
The raising of other crops and the
growing of live stock, especially dairy
cattle, will give the farmer something
to sell when the rust takes his wheat
OF the boil weevil takes his cotton.
The man who is hardest hit by a
crop shortage or by bad market con-
ditions is the one-crop grain or cotton
grower. The dairyman, the man who
follows diversified farming, the hun
dreds of homes where poultry sup
plies the table and clothes the family
these enjoy continued prosperity
every day in the year.
It takes two things to make a great
state: First, the soil; second, the peo-
pie.
A state may have fertile soil, but
if there are shiftless, inefficient peo-
pie living on it, they are not going to
make much out of it. A state may
have efficient people, but without pro-
duction we can not have great
country.
A one-crop system takes the life
out of the soil and impoverishes the
people. 1t is only through diversified
farming and the using of our ener-
gies every day in the year that we
can make rich country and a strong
vigorous people.
Diversified arming means live stock,
dairying, crop rotation, more pas
lures, less washing of the soil, more
productive land, greater profits.
Wherever you can raise corn and
clovers you can grow dairy cattle and
wherever you find dairy cattle you
will find high priced land and pros
porous, growing communities.

STERLING

Do you ever stop to consider
what sterling actually means?
The dictionary describes it as G.

superior qualities it represents.
1t is our purpose to make the name

the field of fabrication as the word "ster-
ling" is on silver

After repeating over and over again

Made by Farmers Wife in
Long Winter Evening Out
of Scraps of Clothes

The farmers wife many years
ago spent the long winter evenings
making hooked rugs, which, be.
cause of their charm, are so sought
after today.
Scraps were used in the making.
From the family rag bag, the long
strips were fashioned into braided
rugs and the smaller pieces into
hooked rugs. No matter how small
the pieces, they were hooked into
some little corner, or frightened the
heart of a rose or. the jasper.like
