A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN Z. GUM.
Preparedness for Life.

"The tDise took oil in their pesseIs
Nth their lamps. rru.4.
THIS is the parable of the 10 virgins
who were invited to wedding
feast. We know the story. Here were
10 Young women, in conditions that
naturally melted to the exercise of alert
ness and preparation: for If q wedding
does not interest q young woman, noth-
ing can. Yet only five Of them were
wise enough to make the natural, ex-
pected preparation; the other f1ve were
foolish, and with easy-going 1mprov-
idence trusted to luck. These fve, not
being ready when the bridegroom came,
missed the wedding; while the other nve
that were ready went IN with him to
the marriage"
Whatever other lessons the parable
teaches, it teaches the Importance OF
being prepared and ready for the op-
portunities that life brings. With His
uncanny sense of reality, Jesus pictures
life as everybody knows it, in this
parable Of the prepared and the unpre-
pared, the ready and the unready. Most
failures in life are due not to the lack
Of ability and chances, but to the fall
ure to use plain, ordinary, common
sense In making proper preparation.
senator 6euJdUlul N. AuluicA, S1AoA
" before he died, wrote to friend: TT
Is q sad commentary on human wisdom
that we have to be old enough to die, or
worn out enough to die, before we learn
how to i've" If that is so, it is due to
our own stupidity and foolishness.
In the parable the five who were wise
were not old maids, but young maidens.
Foolish young people waste time and
strength pursuing frivolities, hoping
meanwhile that luck will somehow take
care of their future. But others are
wise; they use their time In acquiring
knowledge and laying up power. There
Is no reason why we should grow old
or wear out before we learn what life
IS about and how to use it wisely. II
one Is sensible and alert he can make
q going enterprise Of life from the days
Of his youth.
The Boy Scouts have the master
motto: BE Prepared That Is not
only the master motto for youth, it is
the master motto for every age Of life.
We speak Of youth as the period Of
preparation; the whole Of life IS q Pc
Rod Of preparation. Preparedness must
b continuous and ceaseless. There are

This Mosaic Came From
:. the Dictionary.
By FLORENCE La GANKE.

MANY Of the old quilt designs were
based on geometric figures. It Is quite
remarkable that there is variation In
patterns merely by rearranging the
placement Of squares and triangles. ]
am reminded Of this as I show you the
mosaic quilt pattern sent in to me by
Mrs. Ida Decker of Fairfield, Conn.
She says that she worked this one
out from mosaic design in the die
tionary.
mo matter where she obtained the
idea the pattern Is effective. suggest
working it out in plain white or small
figured black and white for background
with some plain or figured material for
the other pieces
some OF you may want to use stripes,
but I hesitate to suggest them for it
Is difficult to get the stripes running
true and straight and all in the same
direction. II you begin to vary the
direction you lose some of the SYM
metry or rhythm of the pattern"
The members Of the Nancy Page
Quilt Club sent for the full size or
working pattern of the quilt.
In cutting the material, remember
that no seams have been allowed;
therefore. add one-quarter inch on all
sides when cutting.
Tile or mosaic patterns are exact and
true. Extra care must be taken to cut
and to seam straight
Choose color-fast material.
This quilt may be put together with
plain background squares or it may be
made into an all-over design
The all-over design gives four large
squares of figured or colored material.
Consider that when choosing the color
and design.

The Old Gardener Says:

Gardcnmakers who find it im--
possible to grow good roses Or
good perennials may possibly dis,
cover that the difficulty lies in
the competition of trees or shrubs
growing nearby. The distance to-s
which both trees and shrubs send-
their roots is amazing. This is
also true of grape vines, the roots.
of which sometimes reach point
20 feet or more from the original :,
vine. Small gardens can be pro-
tected by digging a trench q
feet deep or more around them
and setting planks on edge in
these trenches, the PLANS first
having been covered with ereosote
or some other substance to make },
them last. OF course, the
trenches are to be filled up and
the planks hidden from sight. /,
They will make it impossible for
the roots of the trees and shrubs .
again to make their way into the
flower beds. This will relieve the
flowers of the competition which
may have been robbing them of
the moisture and plant food =
which they needed.

"IME passes slowly when you can

seemed to Peter Rabbit that he
had been sitting half the night
under the vegetable crate in a
corner of Farmer Browns garden. He
was well hidden by an old coat thrown
over one end of it. But all the time
he felt as if he were in trap. He
didn't like it bit. And instead Of
having been there half the night he
had been there a comparatively short
time
However, it was long enough for him
to begin to think that perhaps after all
his doubts had been foolish and no one
would find him. And then almost
without warning he received his first

her partners primary tricks. The ace
Of hearts. the king-queen of one of the
black suits, and two of the missing kings
were positively announced by the part
ner's jump raise. Consequently, there
was only king off the hand; six must
be bid; there may be flnesse for seven.
So she bid six; her partner naturally
passed; the jack of hearts was opened;
the club was finessed successfully in the
natural direction, and she made seven.
Had she bid a spade, her partner would
have bid two no trumps, which she
could raise to six. If East opened q
heart, seven could still be made, be-
cause every suit breaks, but declarer
would be in constant panic Of being
set, whereas when South Is declarer the
only fear is concerned with whether or
not the overtrick will be made; the small

These active, charming birds are ex-

EARLY
LOAN ACTION

Ranchers desiring crop produc-
ton loans from the secretary of
agriculture are urged by Frank
Beyschlag to fill out applications
and other forms at Ray Edgar's
office, COB Main street, FL Centro,
as soon as possible. While the date
of filing applications does not close
until April 80 he states that a great
deal of time was required last
year for the certification, APPROX
nj and searching of title records
before successful applicants actu-
ally received their checks for the
amounts of their loans. Thus in
order to receive funds for plant
ing even relatively late crops it is
necessary that applications be filed
early.
Regulations concerning the e
loans require that borrowers reduce
their acreage of annual cash crops
by 80 per cent. with some mini
mum exceptions. AS security bor-
rowers must give a first mortgage
on all crops growing or to be har-
vested by them during 1888 First
monies received from any of the
crops must be applied toward pay
lnent of the loan.
The maximum amount an indi-
Viduai can secure is limited to
$500. The maximum amounts per
acre are Sc for most field crops
and SIS for truck crops, grown
without fertilizer. Where fertilizer
is required loans based on approx
innate cost of necessary supplies are
made up to 50 per acre for some
tield crops and $23 for truck crops
Up to $28 an acre may be loaned
| for crop production in bearing
orchards and vineyards.
Loans are made for crop pro-
duction purposes only. These in
clude seed, fertilizer, water, feed
for work stock, fuel and oil for
tractors, busting and spraying ma
terials, and for minor repairs and
miscellaneous supplies. Loans are
not made for the payment of tax
eS, debts, interest, labor, groceries
or other personal bills.
These loans bear 513 per cent in
