How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
To the Last Ditch.

People speak Of struggling to the last
ditch, usually Of fighting to the last
ditch" and in our use Of the phrase
today we mean to the last defense, the
last extremity.
This Is an expression of historic sig
nifcance. And originally it was Idle
in the last ditch" The words were
those Of William Of Orange. They were
his reply when Buckingham spoke Of
the inevitable destruction which would
overcome the United Provinces and
asked him whether he did not realize
that the commonwealth was ruined.
There is one certain way" Prince VII
liam replied. "by which I can be sure
never to see my country's ruin. will
die in the last ditch"

Johnny Wren isn't one to harbor Ill
feelings or disappointments for long, and

and Jenny had never quarreled In their
lives, and between songs industriously
carrying material into the old basket.
He didn't even resent 1t when Jenny

brought.
Now it happened that neither Farmer

Nightmares.

What is the difference between a
nightmare and q dream? One Of my
readers would like to know. Here is a
question which men have asked ever
since the days Of Galen, who fiourished
nineteen centuries ago.
Probably the best answer that one
can give to this question Is to say that
q true nightmare Is not a dream. It's
an attack. Back In the days when
Latin was the language used in writing
books, the name "pavor nocturnus" was
given to this attack. "Pavor nocturnus"
means might fear"
This name Is significant. 1t denotes
the one thing In which true nightmare
differs from an ordinary dream. That
you experience no emotional STRINGS.

EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY

Aside from this element Of fear, Nttle

rate there is no dependable information
concerning the cause; and. Of course, no
dependable knowledge concerning the
cure 1t has long been supposed that
sleeping on the back Is the exciting
cause Of these attacks. In recent years
this old theory has almost passed into
the discard. For now and then an at.
tack similar to ''pavor nocturnus" comes
to a person who is wide-awake. "Pavor

MY VISIT TO THE All CLUB RALLY
(By NJ. L. Larkin)

Saturday, April 22nd, was set aside
and observed as All Club Rally Day
throughout Lauderdale County with
the many many All Clubs that are
supervised by Mrs. c. T. Butler, county
demonstration agent. The meeting was
held at Wechsler High School and
those who availed themselves with the
opportunity Of being present were very
well pleased with the wonderful work
that the different clubs are doing
throughout Lauderdale county.
The many articles, such as dresses,
pillow cases, quilts, spreads, table COW
ers, luncheon sets, shirts, parasols, pot
holders, little boys suit; all embroidered
in beautiful bright colors and numbers
and numbers of other things that l
have not named, were on display. 1t
was quite interesting to learn that all
Of these articles were made from sacks
Some Of the things On display such as
shirts, dresses and parasols were dyed
in bright colors and to my mind, it
would have taken a close observer 10
tell the different from this material
and the best grade of fast colored linene
This exhibit was one worthwhile.
The different demonstrations given
were very interesting especially was
the demonstration on table setting in
teresting and helpful. The young lad
les who ave this demonstration on table
setting were well up on their job. After
they had finished this demonstration,
the table was very pretty. 1 do wish
everybody, especially ladies, could
have seen this particular demonstra-
ton because of the fact, it is one thing
that is done daily. After ALL it isn't the
food that makes a table pretty, but the
arrangement of the dishes
Mrs. Butler is doing a worthwhile
work in Lauderdale county and it Ger
tainly has made an Improvement on a
lot Of homes.
The All Clubs as a whole made good
reports, however, there were some
that had been organized longer than
others. The club leaders, presidents
and members are to be commended
highly for the wonderful work they are
doing
This All Club Rally was one to be
long remembered.

KEEPING OUR BALANCE
(By MIR. Rance J. A. Cole)

A young butter maker said to me,
make butter for my bread and
study and teach music to keep my sou
alive.
| I know what he meant. Work is God
intended blessing for us although toc
much of it kills our ideal aspiration
We need something in addition to our
work to assist us in getting our nost
off the grindstone.
After a couple of days I visited one
of my old chums who was just out o.
school He was making money, but
had stopped reading, and attending
church. His motto was, GET WHAT
YOU CAN AND CAN WHAT YOU
GET He was killing his soul by feed
ing it upon gold.
There is no situation in life so humble
but that it may be attended with
the nobelest thoughts, The sun rises
and sunsets along the rim of a poor
mans sky is just as gorgeous as those
which thrill the soul of the painters
Your cottage may be banked in with
strow against the winter cold, but
God can be as real to you as those who
live in mansions.
After all culture is open to every
body, who will fight to keep his soul
alive A dear woman now long gone,
after l saw her standing at the West
window of her kitchen watching the
sun 60 down, she forced her mind upon
the beauty of it.
Its just here that religion of Christ
is 50 valuable. IF we have in the past
made religion thing too far apart from
our daily concerns we have lost the
riches of the companionship of God in
our rights.
I turn again and again to the words
abide in me" and try to fathom the
possibilities of delight hope, health
and happiness which l have not yet
reached. 1t helps to keep my heart "a
live.
Human service without monetary
rewards will help one keep alive the
fires of tideness in his breast. A free
and sincere attempt to gladden. the sad
den people about us will make life and
Christ more real in our daily lives.
