Pruning Pines Around
The Home
You may improve the pines
around your home by pruning.
Also, pruning will keep your
pines in healthy condition.
The best time for pruning of
pines is in the winter when the
trees are dormant and while
insects are not active.
Prune your pines from the
bottom up, and no single,
heavy pruning is ever desira
ble. At least one third of the
total height of the pine tree
should be in live crown at all
times.
The limbs should be pruned
with a pruning saw or shears
and cut flush with the trunk
of the tree. By following this
practice you will allow for
raoid healing. There is no par
ticular need for painting the
pruning scars if the trees are
pruned in the winter season.
If too many trees are present
on your lot it is best to thin
the trees. Thinning the trees
to a reasonable number and
properly pruning those wh ; ch
are left is the best answer for
healthy and beautiful pines on
the home grounds.
Raising the Dairy Heifer
You have money invested in
that dairy heifer, and it is
most important that you get it
back plus a profit.
There are certain things that
you must do in your dairy op
erations if that heifer is to
‘ake her place in your dairy
herd.
Keep all the buildings used
bv dairv heifers clean and san
itary. This may call for extra
work, but it will pay you di
vidends later on.
Tn addition, avoid damnness
and wet bedding in the heif
ers’ buildings, and make sure
they have the proper ventila
tion in both summer and win
ter time.
These heifers must be fed
the proper feed if they are to
turn into fine dairy cows, so
make sure you follow recom-

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (ANS)—Time has not dulled the
memory of one of the oldest Medal of Honor holders still living.
Frank LaFayette Anders, 86, a retired major In the Army
Reserve at Fargo, N.D. still remembers that May day in 1899
in the Philippine Islands when he and four other scouts
charged an enemy force 60 times their strength.
“We were scouting five miles
in advance of the American
column,” the then Corporal
Anders recalls, “when we en
countered 300 enemy troops
entrenched behind the rice
paddies.
“One of the men with ns
cried “Come on, boys, let’s get
them.’ We charged and took
them on in hand-to-hand
combat. The man who called
the charge was killed right
away, but we continued and
drove the enemy out of their
defenses.
“When they started run
ning, we followed them over
a bridge into the city of San
Miguel and then took refuge
in a ehurch and fought from
there for some four hours be
fore troops from the division
arrived.”
For his actions that day, tn
which 49 dead enemy were
counted, be was awarded the
Medal of Honor. He received
notification of the award by
registered mail from President
Theodore Roosevelt and was
awarded the Medal in 1906
at Ripon, Wis.
During his 12 months of
duty in the Philippines, he
participated in 51 encounters
with the enemy.
It is in honor of Major An
ders and men like him who
have earned the nation’s top

the Fair all this week and see
what farmers. Home Demonstra

4H’s and others have been doing
this year in the way of growing
crops, canning and preserving

that it will continue so all week.
It is my hope personally that
each one who visits the Fa ir

Club's booth.
Our congratulations go this
week to a brother and sister who
have spent most of their lives in
Salem and we speak of no other

Richard Grey for on Wednesday
of this past week, Mrs. Hamby
presented Mr. Hamby with a
daughter while Mrs. Grey pr e
sented Mr. Grey with a son, both

Gathering Eggs
A simple procedure such as
gathering eggs from your lay
ing flock should not be over
looked when you are trving to
be as efficient with your oper
ations as you can be.
Eges should be gathered fre
quently in a rubber coated
wire basket. When placing these
eg»s in thi« basket use caution.
Never fill the basket more
than three-fourths full.
As for washing eggs wash
only dirty eggs, and then nack
in clean, cool containers. How
evcr, do not case wet eggs.
The eggs should then be
stored at the proper tempera
ture and the correct humidity.
Check your operations to see
if you are following all these
points. *
Harvesting Sweet Potatoes
Improper handling of sweet
potatoes during the harvesting
procedure mav result in the
loss of 50 to 75 per cent of the
market value of the potatoes.
Plan to complete harvest be
fore soil temperatures get too
low or frost and heavy rains
start.
The best time to have com
pleted your sweet potatoe har
vest in this area is about Oc
tober 15.
Handle potatoes as if they
were eggs. Remove the pota
toes one by one from the clus
ter. break off excessive roots,
and lav the potatoe in the
crate. Lav the potatoes on the
bottom of the crate until the
bottom is covered, then fill the
remainder of the crate bv plac
the potatoes into the de
ryres’ions of the prevous laver
of potatoes.
Do not fill the crate too full
because a crate that is filled
to full capacity is likely to
have its top layer of potatoes
damaged by bruising.

All through the Old Testa
ment the cross is but dimly

not once does the Old Testa

Important to
Social Sec. Office
Thousands of people who are
collecting social security checks
do not get them as promptly as
they could simply because they
move and fail to notify social
security offices of their new
addresses, the Social Security
Administration has announced.
A notice to the Post Office
will not get an address changed
on social security records. Eu
gene L. Rawls, District Man
ager, Atlanta Social Security
Office, advised today. The best
way of insuring the prompt
and safe delivery of your so
cial security check each month,
he said, is to let the Social Se
curity Administration know
your new address as soon as
you plan to move.
A notice to the Post Office
of your change of address will
take care of having any checks
already on their way to you,
but it will not insure the
promot delivery of those to
follow.
You may report your new
address to the Social Security
Administration by filling out
and mailing the post card
which is given to you when
you beg’n receiving your
checks. Or send a short note
to your Social Security Pay
ment Center, giving your name
and address, your claim num
ber, your new address, and the
date you plan to move.
The address of the Payment
Center is on your “Certificate
of Award." If you prefer, you
may call your local social se
curity district office to get the
address. The Atlanta telephone
number is JA 2-4121, Ext. 253.

Testament prophecy of Christ's
death, Isaiah 53, does not even
specify who the Suffered would
be.
It was the same during our
Lord's stay on earth, for only
toward the close of His min
istry do we read: "FROM THAT
TIME FORTH Jesus BEGAN
to show unto His disciples how
that He must go unto Jerusa
lem and suffer . . . and be
killed. . . ” (Matt. 16:21). And
what was their response? “Then
Peter took Him and began to
rebuke Him” (Ver. 22). Luke
18:24 states three times that
they did not have the slightest
idea He would even die, much
less did they understand all
that the cross would accom
plish. Even at Pentecost Peter
blamed his hearers for the
death of Christ and called up
on them to “repent and be
baptized every one ... for the
remission of sins" (Acts 2:38).
The twelve were preaching
“the gospel of the kingdom”
and knew little about tire cross
and its purpose.
Not until the Apostle Paul,
that other apostle, do we have
what is properly called “the
preaching of the cross,” i.e., as
good news. And in Paul’s great
message our Lord is no longer
seen a.s the Victim, but as the
Victor, not merely after death
or over death, but in death. His
death itself is seen as His great
est. triumph.
Tn Heb. 10:12. 14 we read:
After He had offced one
sacrifice for sins (He) sat
down ... for by one offering
He hath perfected forever them
that are sanctified." And in
Col. 2:14, 15 Paul describes
Christ at Calvary nailing the
Law to the cross and utterly
defeating Satan and his hosts,
“triumphing over them in it
(i. e, in the cross).” Little
wonder the apostle exclaim
ed: “God forbid that I should
boast, save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ . . (Gal.
6:14).
Arab women are known for
wearing veils in public as a
sign of modesty. Among the
