Pearl Appears in
Fried Oysters.

Tower-n oysters were served raw
instead of fried in local restaurants
their value might be increased five hun
dred times, it was proved by the man
whose order of fried oysters was ac-
companied by a pearl Estimated values
of the pearl, before cooking, varied from
seven cents to SIP, but during the pro-
cess of cooking its value had decreased
to three cents. The men who enjoyed
the serving of oysters averaged its pre-
cooked value at SIS and for that amount
he could have had several more meals.

A RUDE BOY WAS
/ REVIVAL SUBJECT
Rev. J. u. league Tells
Large Congregation of
Modern Prodigal Son

The Rev. J. U. league, preaching
in the South Henderson Baptist
church Tuesday evening used as a
subject, "a Rude Boy" The story of
the prodigal son in the fifteenth chap
ter of Luke formed the basis for the
sermon. The boy displayed his rude
ness, said the minister, in the very
beginning of the story when he made
the improper demand of his father for
a portion of the goods. 1t is thus with
all who depart from God, they do so
on their own initiative and without
the will and consent of the Father.
They take the life which belongs to
God and give it to Satan.
Using modern terms, the minister
traced the course of the modern pro-
digal from the time he turns rudely
from a weeping mother and disap-
pointed father until having gone the
gamut of sin, he winds up broken
and disillusioned in the lowest place
imaginable. The young man had
good clothes, good friends, good
money and good home when he left
home. He left the good friends, spent
the good money, wore out the good
clothes, and saddest of all, he smirch-
ed the good name with the blacknesS
of sin. A sinful state is a wasting
state and it wasn't long before he
found himself, shorn of all his fair
weather friends, an outcast. In this
friendless state, broken in body and
spirit, he secured for himself the
miserable employment of swine feed
ing, for a Jewish looy that was the
last straw.
In that moment of misery God held
before him a miroor and he saw him
self as he was. Then it was that che
came to himself" which shows that
during his sinful debauch he was not
under the guidance Of reason but had
resigned the leadership of his life to

his base and unchristian tendencies.
Memory did it's work and he thought
of the blessedness of his fathers
house. A good resolve was followed
by action and the two invariably lead
to God. The reunion of the father and
son, said Rev. Mr.. league, embodies
the essentials of a sinners return to
God, confession of sin and willingness
to serve. He cannot brush up with a
little external morality in order to get
back but must come as he is, in sin
and trust God to forgive him.
At the close of the sermon a large
number came to the mourner's bench
for prayer. Eleven of them accepted
Christ for the first time and several
others, who were Christians, but had
not lived up to their Christian obliga-
tionS, renewed their covenant with
the Lord, expressing a desire to serve
Him better and to help others to do
likewise.

Is PCNT. FARMERS
SIGN ON SOIL ACT
Will Be Entitled to Govern
ment Payments If Re-
quirements Met

Slightly more than three-fourths OF
the farmers of this county have sign
ed work sheets under the new soil
conservation program of the Federal
government as a substitute for the
invaldated AAA, according to j. w.
Sanders, county farm agent, and di-
rector of crop control work in the
county. He said he believed this re-
presented about the sum total of the
cooperation that may be expected this
year
This is considerably less than the
number of growers who signed for
tobacco control under the AAA, due
in some measure, the county agent
said he believed, to the fact that there
was no compulsion this time.
AS for tdeacco, it is now virtually
certain the crop will be much below
last years. due to the drought, and
with a curtailment by weather con-
ditions seemingly assured. some grow
ers arc turning to the soil conserva-
ton program for compensation for
losses from this source.
There has been no intensive cam
paign for cooperation such as was
carried on unUcF Lne A<AA COHlIdCCS.
There are no penalties attached to
the present program. Even though a
tobacco or cotton grower may take
out the work sheet and fill it out pro-
pery and return it to the county
AGENTS office, there is no authority
from any source that can force his
compliance. The only condition Is that
no pavmpnts will be made unless
there is compliance. There are no
penalties.
Field workers have visited tobacco
and cotton growers and have obtain
ed cooperation from most of them,
but they have not made the determine
ed effort that characterized the for
mcr crop control campaigns In view
of the laxness of the soil conServa-
ton program it is considered that the
cooperative of three-fourths of the
growers of the county is about as
good as could have Ecen expected.
