FEED MY SHEEP.
Shepherd, show me how to go
O’er the hillside steep,
How to gather, how to sow, —
How to feed Thy sheep;
1 will listen to thy voice,
Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice
All the rugged way.
Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
Break earth’s stupid rest.
Strangers on a barren shore,
Lab’ring long and lone,
We would enter by the door,
And Thou know’st Thine own.
So, when day grows dark and cold,
Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
Take them in Thine arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
Till the morning’s beam;
Wit -■ wool, ere they depart,
Shepherd, wash them clean.
—MARY BAKER EDDY.
SEVEN THOUGHTS
FOR SEVEN DAYS.
If we serve others through love,
w« serve ourselves as Well.
Love is understood by everything
that breathes. It is the universal
language.
Joy is both an appetizer and a di- \
gester, it should flavor all that we
eat. Never discuss unpleasant sub
jects at the table.
Cultivate happiness, endeavor to
look pleasant. No matter what your
mood, act alwavs as though you were
happy. Happiness is contagious and
it is every one’s duty to add to the
world’s store of it.
Do not find fault nor comment
upon anything but the good unless it
is absolutely necessary. • Never idly
or uselessly complain. Be thankful
that you slept as well as did last
night. To complain is to bring upon
yourself further unrest and confus
ion.
The world desires happiness above
everything else, and is willing to work
hard for whatever will bring it. Hap
piness, like health, harmony and
peace, is the normal condition of
.man. When you feel irritable, force
yourself to do a kind act. This will
produce an immediate state of happi
ness.
Hold fast to the thought that there
is an abundance for each, more than
one can ask or think. One might as
well hold one’s breath for fear that I
th’e air will be exhausted, as to be
fearful that the supply of wealth will
be diminished because a few have
amassed great fortunes.

AMERICA’S GIFT
TO FRANCE.
The week of March 22-27 has been
set aside in America as the time for
giving something, however small, to
the memorial to be erected on the >
Marne in commemoraition of the gal
lant stand made by the French ar
mies under Joffre during the dark ;
days of 1914. This will be America’s
gift to France in gratefulness for her
help in the dark period of her own
revolution, in which she gained, with
the help of France, her independ
ence.
The statue will represent a huge
figure of liberty, drooping under the
weight of tyranny, and will be in- |
scribed to the spot on which is stands, ■
as being the farthest point which a
German boot reached in the heart
breaking drive on Paris. This French
, capital, the heart of the republic, was
I first marked by a provincial farmer, ■
who placed there a tiny wooden cross. >
The American Legion in Americus. ‘
of which Gordon Howell is com
; mander, will bring up this memorial
at its meetinc this evening, and sub
scriptions will be taken at this hour i
for the memorial. Other campaigns
. will be launched later in the week.

TREE PLANTING CAMPAIGN
A MARKED SUCCESS.
Mrs. Ralston Cargill, chairman of
the tree planting campaign just clos
ed in Americus, reports that the
movement was an unbounded success.
More than three hundred trees were
taken to be planted along the streets
of Americus, and others have agreed
to add their names to the list. She
has an order for 150 trees from the
nursery, and is expecting them this
week. For the benefit of those who
will plant the trees the following di
rections were sent with the order:
“In planting these trees we would
suggest having holes 18 inches across
by 18 inches deep. In the bottom of
holes put in about 8 inches of half
soil and fertilizer. Make a thick dip
of mud just thin enough to allow you
to stick the roots of the trees in and
wihdraw. Every root should be
thoroughly covered with this mud be
fore planting. Set trees in hole and
be careful in, filling in to work soil
around roots. Fill the hole level full
of the dirt and stamp as you would
a post. This will leave a depression.
Fill Ithis with water and in 24 hours
complete filling the hole with dirt.
Leave the earth heaped up around the
trees 4 inches.”
For the benefit of those who secur
ed trees from the woods nearby and
will plant them themselves, the sug
gestion is made that the roots which
have been unevenly cut in removing
from the native soil should be cut
off smoothly before replacing in the
ground. So many trees are lost be
cause of the carle.-sness in leaving the
jagged edges of the roots.
