its annual meeting with Antioch church
near Godfrey, on Wednesday, August
22, 1923. A large number of delegates
and visitors were present, representing
woman’s work in the churches all over
the association, and the many reports
showed advancement along almost ev¬
ery line of work fostered by the Bap¬
tist union.
Among the visitors present were Rev.
and Mrs. C. E. Smith, of Antioch
church, Mrs. Ben Thompson, president
of the east central division. Miss Laura
Lee Patrick, corresponding secretary
and treasurer of the state B. W. M. U.
and Mrs. M. C. Ware, former superin¬

a session of the central Association.
She was superintendent of the union
for twenty-five years and led it care¬
fully and efficiently during the trying
years of its infancy.
The program for the day was very
helpful and inspiring. The morning was
given to Woman’s Work, and splendid
addresses were delivered by Miss Pat¬
rick, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Ware, Rev.
Smith and others. In the afterpoon the
Young People'^ program, lAider the

occasion most pleasantly. The next ses¬

$1.50 Per Tear In Advance
EVANS LUNSFORD EXPLAINS
THE PERMANENT PASTURE
Owing to repeated requests from peo¬
ple over the whole country seeking in¬
formation concerning his permanent
pasture methods, Mr. Evans Lunsford
has issued circular letters explaining
the process. In a few words Mr. Luns¬
ford tells what it has taken years to
learn by experience.
He states that now is the time to
begin, during the months of September
and October. Success is due to the inoc¬
ulation of soil. This he did by taking
soil and seeds from the old and well
established part and moving it to other
land, thus enlarging and enriching his
pastures.
Mr. Lunsford finds this the only suc¬
cessful way to build pastures rapidl,.
The soil is full of seeds of grass and
clover. If bought at a seed store would
cost 30 or 40 cents. For distribution he
takes one inch of top soil and runs it
through a seive to remove pebbles and
coarse trash. This is sold at 20 cents per
bushel. It takes 25 bushels per acre,
or in other words, $5 worth.
Use it on cultivated fields or pas¬
tures, where furrows are laid off three
feet apart. Drop in a small handful each
two or three feet. Combined with ma¬
nure and acid phosphate, this process
will treble the value of the land in two
years.
He stresses the combination with fer¬
tilizer.
Mr. Lunsford’s permanent pasture
has become famous through-out the
country. People from all sections visit
Covington to see it for themselves. He
is the man who knows, and his soil in¬
oculation is becoming widespread. It
transforms the red old hills of Georgia
into evergreen pastures, where fine cat¬
tle may graze throughout the year, and
chew the sweet cud of content. It is a
harbinger of peace and plenty.
BANANA SONG BRINGS IN $60,009
New York.—“Yes, We Have No Ba¬
nanas” is a $60,000 tune. When a fruit
hawker disturbed the late morning
sF-t*) of Frank Silver, ir*»Ah?r or a r~r
ban-sl in a New York food and noise em¬
porium, he started something.
Silver and his pianist, Irving Cohan,
banded together, and taking a rib from
the fruit vender’s plaintive plea, made
a lifelong hit. It will net them between
$50,000 and $60,000.
The piece has already sold over a
million copies, and it is casually esti
wated that another million will be sold.
Stacks of phonograph records like all
the cakes in all the Childs restaurants
have been purchased. The music rolls
for player pianos pasted together would
be nearly as long as an expense account.
GOOD YEAR FOR DEMOCRATS,
SAYS WILLIAM J. BRYAN
Los Angeles.—William Jennings Bry¬
an, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, arriv¬
ed from Miami, Fla., last night for a
vistt of several weeks with their chil¬
dren here.
Mr. Bryan said he believed that Pres¬
ident Harding would have been renom¬
inated by the Republicans had he lived,
but that he was not so certain about
President Coolidge.
He declined to forecast the Demo¬
cratic choice for the presidency, stating
that one could tel more about that af¬
ter congress convenes. “It looks like a
good year for the Democrats,” he said.
FALL GARDENS.
Why can’t we have vegetables the
year ’round? If you will take time to
perpare the ground as it should be. The
following vegetables will make a good
fall garden with a few other things
you planted in August:
KALE, plant August to October.
LETTUCE, plant August to Nov.
ONION SETS, plant Sept, to Nov.
PARSLEY, plant Aug. to Oct.
PARSNIPS, plant Aug. to Oct.
RADISH, plant Aug. to Nov.
SPINACH, plant Aug. to Nov.
TURNIPS, Aug. to Oct.
Remember we all need something
green in the way of vegetables to keep
our body in a healthy condition.
