Thoughts in Life
Three Mirrors
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

MIRRORS ARE AS old as civiliza-
ton. From the time early man saw
his face reflected in pool of water,
on through the days when some man
invented polished piece of metal, to
the invention of "silvering" a piece
of glass in our modern mirrors, peo-
pie have been interested in looking
at their reflected images.
1 am thinking of other mirrors as
real as material mirrors but which
cannot be seen by our physical eyes.
There is the mirror down deep in
your mind into which you may look
and see yourself reflected as you
actually are. Someone wrote in the
Bible: 81 will commune with my
own heart" Many refuse to accept
what their personal mirror shows to
them and go through life without
any clear idea of the kind of person
they are. How can we understand
ourselves, if we refuse to look at our
own minds?
Heart of Friend
There is the image of you in the
heart of friend or loved one My
mother used to take the pride out
of me by showing me the image she
saw in my follies. Do you have a
friend who will be honest enough to
tell you how you look to him or her?
To get the reflection of yourself
from someone who loves you enough
to tell you the truth about yourself is
one of the miracles of human thought.
had such a friend once in a school
teacher. He told me the truth about
how my young life looked to him. 1
have thanked God many times for
the loving interest that man took
in me. You have had such exper-
fences.
The Great Mirror
/ am thinking of the Great Mir
ror. Paul wrote about it-QICor-
inthians 3:18) "But we all, with open
face beholding as in glass the glory
of the Lord, are changing into the
same image from glory to glory, even
as by the Spirit of the Lord"
A noted Lutheran minister said
once in Chicago, 81 can stand beside
many Old Testament worthless and
feel fairly comfortable with myself.
I can even stand before the Ten
Commandments and still feel re-
spectacle, although 1 still have
little trouble with two of them, but
when stand in the presence of Jesus
Christ, I become conscious of my
imperfections and am driven to try
to achieve the perfections I see re-
flected from His Life"

No Magic Formula

Plain knitting can be done while

of handwork in my purse. Then if
have to wait my turn in a doctors
office or am delayed in the car while
Tom visits on street corner, don't
get impatient or feel that time is
wasted. I even take a bit of knit
ting to parties and do round while
the late ones are assembling or while
am playing dummy.
"Again, if a neighbor drops in on
an errand, or a salesman with his
wares, I reach for my knitting and
work as l talk. You've no idea how
much is accomplished in this way.
Every night before retiring I take
an inventory to make sure there is
something on hand that can be

hunting for a needle or following
instructions. If there is nothing I

something started"

room. Beside her chair by the
window was big clothes basket,
painted and decorated, in which
were cut strips of wooden cloth, and
on the floor under it, a started

were slung over the backs of chairs

the contrary, these evidences of her

of that. By the first of January

Biqoest Problem Of Small Business

We all know that from either business indivi-

We must be aware that in any business the profits
that be used to retire debt to finance inventory to
make repacements provide for necessary expansion
and increase desirable facilities of service out
OF our business after taxes. Of all the many problems
facing businessmen particularly small businessmen the
one that overshadows all others is the present inability

or to retire capital debt of income, after taxes"

Increasingly difficult and in great many cases. imposs

As result, person wishing to go into business by

of the dissipation of his business earnings through high

the year, According to experl-
mental data from the Experiment
Station it is best to plant most Of
the crop with Odgen and the rest
of the crop with Roanoke or a
late maturing variety. S-l00,
Which IS an early variety, does
not yield enough per acre to
justify planting. The Dorman
variety, which is an early matur-
ing bean, yields good but the
seed are very scarce.
Fescue:
Fescue with clover in it should
be grazed heavy during this
period but not to the extent that
1t is completely overgrazed. Study
the fescue that was not fertilized
and nitrated and you will see why
we recommend high rates of fert-
ilizer on fescue and clover.
Cotton
A small cotton crop may be
more profitable than a large one
in 1858. Plant cotton only on
land best suited to cotton, ferti-
lize it highly and carry out a
complete program including in
sect control. Plant that land
taken out of cotton to grain, hay
and pasture-all of these are
badly needed.
Poisons to use on particular
Cut worms-Toxaphene, diel-

Cotton Planting Time:

Do not be in too big a hurry
to get cotton planted. April 18Th
is plenty early to start planting
cotton. With our new insecticides
for controlling thrip and other
insects that damage young seedl-
ings cotton planted between April
18th and May ist, where insects
are controlled will be equal to cot
ton planted before April 18TH.
You are more than likely to get
a stand of cotton by waiting until
the soil warns up. Keep in mind
every time you have to plant cot
ton over the seedcost money. The
extra labor and the expenses of
extra preparation of land cost
money. You are only adding to
the cost Of the cotton crop.
Be sure your land is prepared
and in good shape. Plant on firm
seed bed to assure a better stand.
Start controlling thrip as soon as
you know you have a stand of
cotton. Any of the insecticides
will control thrip however, toxa-
phene is our best early insect con-
troll insecticide. 1t will kill thrip
and cutworms as well. AS little as
