Something to
Think About
by F. A. WALKER
THE WEAKEST LINK
THE old story of the chain and its
weakest link, quite as familiar to
bright school children as are the names
of William and Mary, gets but scant
recognition from present-day folk, so
occupied with frivolities that they
have no inclination to look for the
core in proverbs.
“A chain is a chain,” they will tell
you, so why philosophize anent its
weakest link or the carelessness of a
blacksmith!
A good many of us are indisposed
to search into the reason and nature
of things because it involves a little
real thinking.
We are strong ami grand and noble.
We have great affairs to handle, so
why bother with antiquated saws
which are apt to scrape our tine sensi
bilities or cut off a rotten bough or
two of our self-esteem, which would
never do, because we should be for
ever disgraced before our friends.
We hear a great deal about the
“missing link,” but little is said re
garding the “weakest link," which
really concerns the truly noble men
and women who are seeking to bright
en the world and make it better, by
giving encouragement to the weaklings
of humanity and helping them to be
come strong and self-dependent.
It is good to meet these humane
people and hear them talk, praising
others but never complimenting them
selves. They realize the frailties that
hold them back in their efforts to do
good, but keep pressing forward, deaf
to tattling tongues and doing the best
they can.
They know that somewhere in their
physical and moral make-up there is a
weak link likely at any moment to
snap. But this knowledge does not
deter them from doing their full duty.
We, who doubt their sincerity, would
be a sorry lot Indeed if these good
souls were not among us.
Without them our chain might break
and our ship be lost, for we Incline
to obstinacy, snobbery disbelief, ir
reverence, extravagance, looseness of
speech, selfishness, hate, disrespect for
the aged and disregard of the com
mandmenta.
Theirs is a life of love and devo
tion, filled with well doing and an
abundance of faith.
And ours, shame upon us, is jnst
'the opposite, held here by a chain of
many weak dinks, liable to break at
any hour and set us adrift upon a
storming sea, unlfghted by a single raj
of hope!

TO THE FARMERS OF HART COUNTY
GENTLEMEN:—
Indications now are that the Farmers of Hart County will have the best yield from their crops that they
have had in a great while. This has been accomplished largely by hard work and determination to make some
thing. From the reports that we can gather it seems that all crops will bring fair prices, which means a greater
degree of prosperity for our county.
When you market your crops this fall we will deem it a great privilege if you will allow us to cash your
checks for you whether given on this bank or any other bank. We will endeavor to give you the very best ser
vice obtainable and we can assure you of courteous and cordial treatment at all times. If you have not already
done so we will be very glad to have you open an account with us and transact your business through this bank.
Your cancelled check, returned to you with your statement at the end of each month, will furnish you with a re
ceipt and a record of any business transactions that you may make. In addition to our regular commercial de
partment we maintain a Savings Department in which you can leave your surplus money and receive interest
on same every six months at 4 per cent.
Come in and see us when in town and we cordially invite you to “Make Our Bank Your Bank.”
Very truly yours, y s • j

VARIETY FOR YOUR TABLE
rpilE kind of food we serve to our
families depends largely upon the
family. If there are children in the
family, they need plain, wholesome,
easily-digested food.- They also should
have plenty of fruit and vegetables.
During the warm weather a day with
out meat is advisable and all meats
should be cut down in quantity. The
overfat are much better if they will go
without a meal occasionally, letting
the digestive tract have a rest.
Butter, cream and rich foods should
be avoided by those who are inclined
to put on weight. Starchy foods, like
potatoes, should be eaten sparingly.
Nitrogenous foods are easily decom
posed, especially during the warm
weather. The by-products from this
decomposition are more or less poison
ous and care should be used in serving
all such foods.
Baked Chicken in Milk.
One may use skim milk for this dish
if there is any reason to cut down on
the fat for the family. Prepare the
chicken as for fricassee. Place in a
linking dish after it has been rolled in
seasoned flour and fried a delicate
brown in butter. Cover with sweet
milk and bake for several hours in a
moderate oven. The milk will cook
down and with the flour make a deli
cious gravy to serve with the chicken.
Graham Gems.
Take one cupful each of graham
flour and sour milk, one-half teaspoon
ful of soda, one-half teaspoonful of
salt, one well-beaten egg, two table
spoonfuls of sugar and three table
spoonfuls of melted shortening. Mix
and drop into well-buttered gem pans
an<l bake In a moderate oven. This
amount makes six good-sized gems.
Fruit Cream.
Break one egg wldte into a bowl,
add one-half glass of Jelly and two
tablespoonfuls of sugar; beat until
stiff enough to stand. Serve in sherbet
cups topped with sweetened and fla
vored whipped cream.

ELLA
ELLA is an elfin name. Its sconrce
lies in Fairyland, where the elves,
<>r white spirits, were supposed to be
gifted shadowy beings given to influ
encing strangely the lives of mortals.
Ella means “elfs friend."
The elf king was called Elberich.
His fairy kindred and their popularity
in England and Ireland, established
the use of elf names early in history.
Everyone remembers Aelfgifu, the un
fortunate Elgiva, whose beauty was
like the fairy gift which her name sig
nifies, and brought ruin upon herself
and her husband.
Aelfwine (elf darling), daughter of
the earl of Southampton, was Knut’s
first wife. A bishop of Lichfield was
called Aelfwine, but he preferred to
be addressed as Aetla. This is the
first appearance of Ella, and it seems
curious that it should have been of a
masculine name.
Aella, as it was then spelled, named
the sponsor for the execution of Rag;
nar Loditrog, and fl was Aelle of
Delra whose name car ■<! Gregory
the Great to say that “Alleluja” should
be sung in those regions.
Ella is much used in this country,
but her significance Is so little known,
that her popularity must be attributed
to harmony of sound.
The opal is Ella's talismanic gem.
but the fairy, which popular supersti
tion declares is imprisoned within the
stone, must be a gooff fairy, for Ella
is promised many friends, success and'
much happiness. Friday is her lucky
day and 2 her lucky number.
