When the holidays come, usually

This is due probably to the fact
that everyone has had manifold

The human body works normally.
Any marked change will naturally
have some effect on its function.
A healthy body has a wide range
and therefore can stand more in
suits than a weak one. The unfor-
tunate thing is that some one who
is not strong generally tries to
follow the example of another who
is. Eating and drinking should al
ways be done with discretion. The
stomach is not a garbage can into
which things may be thrown in

taught you the combinations of
food that your stomach will allow.
All stomachs are not alike and yet

that overlooking is bad; likewise

food is bad. Concerning inhibition,

zens who hOnOred Phyllis Wheatley
Sunday? Does it not realize that
by subscribing the expense account
for this meeting Gin which no indi-
viduals pocket book was nnduly
burdened), it was doing not only
the logical appreciative thing, but
taking action as well, that would
have enabled the Forum executives
to have long since duplicated that
attendance and increased its (the
FOrum) value to our citizenry.
The success of Sunday came
largely through a we'll planned
and carefully followed publicity.
It's effect was not lessened be-
cause it was donated by the Spokes-
man and Recorder newspapers. But
that same publicity could so easily
have been placed behind the Forum
and in its other programs sustained
by the benefiting public rather
than depend upon any individual
generosity.
The splendid effect of unselfish
cooperation was so clearly shown
in this meeting that its continuance
in this and other fields would seem
the natural action for the immedi-
ate future.
Speaking of cooperation / am
still in doubt about certain groups,
especially groups Of young people,

this body only when invited to give
the entertainment. Is it ignorance
or cOnceit? l describe it in the
only Impotence INDUCED in by Mr..
Schuyler, who, in speaking, of GER
tain unwarranted action, declared
it was ridiculous"
Now word about Mr.. Schuyler
himself and his lecture.
Like old wine, he grows more
mellow with age.
Like most of us who would wish
to change the pattern of this world
and its inhabitants, he has come at
"long last" to the realization that
it cannot be done through harsh
criticism and soaring vituperation.
He seems satisfied now to make
an occasional convert among the
people whose thinking he stirs. His
arguments and presentations are
imposed upon logic and built up
from profound knowledge of per-
tinent facts. He talked Sunday in
an almost casual way, but the pic
ture he drew was so wildly clear,
the obstacles in the path of adj
vancement so definitely visuaIized,
/ doubt if anyone present left the
room without having in the back
of his mind the uneasy question,
"What are we going to do about
it?"
When so-large segment of our
people can be induced to such line
of thought, there can be no ques-
ton but that Geo. Schuyler did a
worthwhile job in the Twin Cities.

Poetic Thoughts
Christmas
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

Christmas
The celebration of Chrss birth every year this time
Comes universal to Christendom in every cline,
To each year his mission on EARTH
Is the reason mortals celebrate his birth.
This day meant much to people of old,
Foretod by prophets who spiritually bold,
With signs following inspiration
They guided to behold the Saviour all pure.
Christ grew spiritually at tender age, :, +
For when he twelve he answered like sage,
A knowledge considered only for learned men, e,
Whose years of study seemed dwarfed right then.
Temptation he had in his spiritual climb
But he always kept His Father in mind ~
For this spiritual stood him in good stead,
When prosecuted and the he bled. ,.4@
The. giving of presents by the wise men,
Has been symbol of love and always then, ~.
When Chris's birthday again each year,
The exchange of presents goes between those dear
Each year Christmas should mean to us,
And bear without any outward fuss, h
For that is what He did and forgave,

Honeyball melons are having good

There are few acres of early

present time. However, fully produc-
ton will not start until the last
OF June, continuing through July
Watermelon shipments are gradu-
ally increasing. Quality is very good
but light yields are anticipated as
most fields have very light set of
melons.
Carrot shipments have continued
through May, in all probability
closing the deal the first week of
June. The season was a fair one,
quality being very good with
tair market for early shipments.
Prices during May have been salts

Harvesting of sugar beets is we'll

The alternatives offered by the

make.
Alternatives offered were:
l. Deliver flaxseed on present

day of delivery at the mill, and
take returns as payment in full.
2. Store flaXseed and deliver

3. Sell by delivering on present

ADVANTAGES OF Ali
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Extension Service
Prepares Long
Term Plan

Don't feel sorry for the raggedly
dressed farmer lad who attends
the county fair each year, whose
only untarnished garment is his
green head piece with four white
HIS printed neatly in one corner.
That is the advice of Lee Ian
derman, Al club director for I'm
perial county.
Chances are that raggedly dress
ed boy, who is raggedly dressed
only because he has more work to
do than Just sec the sights as most
Of the fair-gCerS do, has sacked
away five or six hunderd dollars,
sometimes more.
His projects, year in and year
out, bring him an income which
would make the city boy sit up and
take notice, and then perhaps
wonder if he wasn't preparing him
self for the wrong vocation.
This year the extension service
and All club leaders have inau-
gurated a program which will
make the club work more perm
aren't, more far-reaching, than
ever before.
The All club work, Landerman
pointed out, is a voluntary project
on the part of the youngsters en-
gagged. Leaders and the extension
service have offered their services
to aid the All youths in making
their projects outstanding success
The Al club director explained
that most Al club work is start
cd among the younger boys and
girls on a small scale. Those boys
and girls are allowed to gradually
enlarge their projects.
The Al club offers program
for boys and girls from ten years
old, and has mapped a plan that
can be carried out over a period
of twenty years.
The All club workers have thus
been given an opportunity to
learn farming that their parents
were never afforded.
Their projects teach them re-
sponsiblity, teach them problems
confronted and advise them in Sc
lection of farm work.
Many All club workers have
banked as much as $1,000 through
their projects and other farm
work, and will, by the time they
are ready to go into farming on
larger scale. have sufficient CAPT
tai to get a good start.
