LOVELINESS IN SPRING
By Bessie Houser Nunn
My garden is a fairy spot to me,
When spring begins to tread on
winter’s heel,
For miracles are happening,
you see,
New life and new color o’er the
whole place steal.
From barren trees and barely
thawing ground
The buds and blades of green
amaze you there
Pussy-willows slip from coats of
brown,
And jonquils join the brilliant
flowering pear.
Snowdrops bound the garden’s
edge in white,
Tulips and hyacinths add their
reds and blues,
Pansies smile from glowing
faces bright,
While iris stand erect in many
hues.
Now La Rose, the garden’
queen, comes out
In satiny robes of pink with
green beneath
While dafl’odils and daisies dance
about,
And tall spirca waves her bridal
wreath.
Oh, loveliness is lavish in the
spring!
The gardener kneels humbly
worshiping;
For she who plants the seed, and
turns the sod,
Has learned that she’s in part
nership with God.
Voters must pay their poll tax
by May 4 if they want to partici
pate in the September Democrat
ic Primary and the Novembei
General Election, The law re
quires that poll taxes be paid at
least six months prior to the ge
eral election, which falls on No
vember 5 this year. May 6
marks the limit for paying poll
taxes, but this year May 5 fall
on Sunday—hence May 4 is the
deadline.
Auto Liability Insurance
Motorists who carry liability insur
ance not only should know the
amounts of the coverage limits, but
they also should understand exactly
what those limits mean. For ex
ample, lot it be assumed that a mo
torist carrying a standard limit
$5,000-$It),000 policy is involved in an
accident in which more than one per
son in the other car is killed or in
jured and a judgment of $lO,OOO is
rendered against the assured. As
sume further that, as frequently oc
curs—three persons are injured and
judgments in their favor are ren
dered in the amounts of $7,000, $2,000
and $l,OOO. The assured carrying b
$5,000-$;0,000 liability policy must
pay $2,000 of the $7,000 judgment
himself because the policy sets forth
definitely that the limit for one per
son cannot exceed $5,000. Motor
ists should know that this is not a
“trick” feature nor is it found in the
policy of any single company. It is
standard in all liability policies.
England's Patriotic Village
Rhuddlan, England, is a village
both patriotic and lucky. In the
days of Edward 1 it was an armed
camp. Ever since, it had taken the
lead among English counties for pa
triotism and fervor in time of war.
In the World war it gave a quarter
of its population to the army, and
those who were too old to fight took
munition jobs. Of the 1.000 inhabi
tants, 221 joined up and 220 returned.
So Rhuddlan is both patriotic and
lucky. In the present war, every
young man in the village able to
fight has gone. More than a quarter
of the total population of 1,700 is in
khaki. Not a youth between 17 and
25 is left in the village nor is there
a conscientious objector.
Auto’s Silence Is Important
One of the most appealing features
of a new car is its silence. Keeping
it noiseless is a matter of correct
maintenance right from the start for
it is a fact that body bolts are in
clined to loosen most rapidly when
the car is new. They should be light
ened at the end of the first 500 miles
and again at 1,500. The task re
quires but a few minutes and costs
little enough to justify having it
dune.

MICAH’S VISION OF PEACE
LESSON TEXT—Mlcah 4:1-5; 5 1 sa.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they ihall beat their
swords Into plowshares, and their ipeart '■
Into prunlnghooks: nation shall not lift up
a sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more.—Mlcah 4:3.
Peace on earth! Why, that is i
hardly more than a phrase which i
we recall at Christmastime as we
think of the song of the angels. Yet j
now is the time to assure people that
there will be peace on earth.
Peacemakers who are now silent
were striving to bring in a man
made peace, following a will-o'-the
wisp. Let us tell men about the real
peace which will come when the
Prince of Peace sets up His king
dom. Let us urge upon them the |
glad acceptance of His personal i
kingship in their hearts that they
may even new know peace within.
Micah warned Judah that their re
jection of God and His love would
bring them sorrow and judgment.
In the midst of his message, how
ever, he breaks forth into a glowing
prophecy of the glory that is to come
during the reign of the Messiah, the
Prince of Peace.
I. The Foundation of Peace—God's
Word (4:1, 2).
Vainly do men labor to bring about
a lasting peace built upon the words j
of men, for the moment there seems
to be gain in repudiating promises
given in the greatest of solemnity,
they become mere scraps of paper.
There ia no security in such words, |
nor in the guns and battleships used (
to support or to break them. j (
God’s Word, the teaching of His
law, walking in His paths—here is
the foundation for real peace. Micah
speaks of the time “in the last days”
when the people of the earth shall
go up to God’s house to hear His 1
Word and to learn to walk in His j
ways. To that blessed and holy day ;
we look forward with anticipation |
and joy even as we now bring men i
the message of Christ’s redemption |
and His peace.
11. The Prince of Peace—Jesus
Christ (4:3-5).
This beautiful portion of God’s
Word (and such parallel passages as
Isa. 2:1-6; 11:1-12) gathers together
the longing and hopes of peace
loving men of every age. Perfect
justice, the end of all wars, pros
perity for peaceful pursuits, hoys no
longer learning warfare, complete I
social security, universal worship of
God—what a thrilling promise!
Will it ever come true? Yes.
When? In the "latter days” (v. 1, j
R. V.). mo has made such a prom-1
ise? God Himself. Who will bring i
it about? God’s Son, the Prince of
Peace, who will come to “judge be
tween many people.”
Why will men be so blind to the
"sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do wHI that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark place”
(II Pet. 1:19)? Why will we reject (
Him who is "the day star” (II Pet. j
1:19; Rev. 22:16) and who is eveni,
now ready to "arise in your ,
hearts"?
111. His Coming—As Saviour (5:
2. 3),
This remarkable Messianic proph- 1
ccy gave more than 700 yeans be- 1
fore the birth of Christ the exact.
place of His birth, so closely iden- 1
titled as to make both the prophecy!
and its fulfillment a testimony to the j
inspiration of the Bible. Note that!
this was the passage with which tire
priests and scribes answered the
question of Herod (Matt. 2:1, 4-6)
regarding the place where the Mes
siah was to he born.
Thus the coming ruler of Israel,
the Judge of all peoples, the Prince
of Peace, is none other than the
Lord Jesus who was born into this |
world as the Babe of Bethlehem, j
"a Saviour . . . Christ the Lord” I
(Luke 2:11). Israel rejected Him
and He had to “give them up” (v.
3), but the time will come when)
they shall see Him as their King.
IV. His Reign—As King (5:4, sa). 1
"This man shall be our peace" I
(v. 5, R. V.). He it is who "shall j
i he great unto the ends of the earth”'
j (v. 4); and that can be said of no!
man in all history except of Him j
) of whom we sing,
Josus shall relKh where’er the sun
Does hl» successive Journey* run;
Hts kingdom stretch frugi shore to shore
Till moon* shall wax attd wane no more.
—lsaac Watts. |
Hia shall not be the reign of a
despot, for we read that "He shall {
feed his flock in the strength of
Jehovah” (v. 4, R. V.). His ene-|
mies and the enemies of God the
Father must be put down, but His
people will find Him to be the ten- j
der “good shepherd" who “giveth
his life for the sheep” (John 10: j
11). He is that now to every be
liever. Sinner, why not take Himi
now as your Saviour, your Good;
Shepherd, and join with Hia people
in looking for His coming as King?
Opposition Helps
Efforts against the truth some
times help its progress; the sea! and
the guard only make it more clear
that the Savior rose from the dead.

Good Care of Clothes
Will Cut Living Costs
There’s a tidy amount of pin
money to be picked up by thrifty
wives right in Friend Husband’s
clothes closet. Not in the pockets
of the suit he will wear tomorrow,
however, but merely in the care of
the same.
Since most of the nation’s 31,400,-
000 wives take care of their hus
band’s clothes anyhow, they might
as well save from $4O to $lOO a year
on hubby’s wardrobe yet keep him
better groomed than ever by follow
ing a few simple rules, according
to Tony Williams, a New York de
signer who creates wardrobes for a
goodly section of the nation’s best
I dressed men.
Suits last from 25 to 40 per cent
I longer and hold their creases better
1 if they are always hung, preferably
on shaped wooden hangers, he points
out. Suits are made of wool not
only because it is an exceptional in
sulator against both heat and cold
but because it springs back into
shape when allowed to hang, he ex
plained.
Trousers should always be hung
from the bottom, if possible. Their
weight helps pull them back into
perfect shape. It is also worth the
trouble to brush the dust and dirt
out of trouser cuffs before hanging,
he declares.
A press will last longer if the suit
is allowed to hang for a day after
pressing, as this sets the crease
firmly. Suits themselves will last
longer if they get a day’s rest be
tween wearings, even if the Old Man
has only two outfits.
When sending the Mister’s shoes
to be repaired, it is well to remem- j
ber that rubber heels are not only
more comfortable and longer wear
j ing than leather, but hold shape and
! remain trimmer. A survey re
veals that 85 per cent of the nation’s
males prefer them anyhow.
! By keeping a sharp eye on Hub-
I by’s ties and occasionally pressing
j them and removing a spot, wives
j can help him always to have the
fresh appearance of a man who is
definitely on his way to success.
Hand Painting of China
Stages Current Revival
China painting, an accomplish
ment boasted by almost every young
j woman around 1900 when it was at
its peak, is coming back, says Mrs.
Jessie L. Wood, Michigan artist.
“China painting is being taught in
the schools and more space is being
I devoted to it in the art magazines,’’
says Mrs. Wood, a veteran teacher
of china painting, but now a painter
in oils. “But in 1900 we did mostly
flowers. Now the work is in con
ventional designs.
“It’s true there were some hor
rible things perpetrated in the name 1
of art by some of the china paint- j
ers, but probably the fad served a
good purpose in arousing an interest
in art and making the young girls 1
appreciate paintings they saw. Min-
I eral paints are used and china is
a difficult medium on which to work
because of its rapid drying. The
painting was dried in kilns and the
colors were always changed by the
heat. Some results were lovely. I
still have a set of china and many
painted pieces from that time.”

TROTH that UVERTBiM

Two days later I Charles Roth
passed the doorway
I where the pitch man had been op-
I crating but he had decamped. Where
was he? In some other city, prob
ably miles away, going through the
j same tricks.
These pitch men, almost without
exception, die broke. Inspired
j salesmen, really with a talent for
| persuading people that amounts to
i genius, they nevertheless fill pau
per’s graves, and spend their old
| ages in cheap rooming-houses.
What’s the trouble with them?
It isn’t hard to find: They do
not give value. They depend upon
talk to replace quality, tricks to do
away with honesty. They lose as
every dishonest man must.
Be a Booster for Perry and
Houston County
You have never seen an adver
tisement of one of these gyps. You
never will. There are two reasons
why.
One is that no reputable news
paper will accept their advertising,
because a newspaper takes its ob
ligation to its readers so seriously
that it investigates advertisers and
rejects those that do not give hon
est value.
The second reason is that adver
tising is an investment, and not a
gamble. And these pitch men are
gamblers.
The man who advertises says in
effect to you: “I am operating a
business in your service. I will of
fer goods you want. My prices will
be reasonable. I have become a
definite part of this community. My
money is invested here. Here I in
tend to remain, a part of your com
munity life. I sell good goods, and
in my advertising I tell the truth
about them."
Because you have been “gypped”
by buying wild cat brands and by
patronizing itinerant peddlers and
door-to-door solicitors without a re
sponsible place in the community,
you now buy advertised goods from
merchants who advertise.
This is the course which is fol
lowed by the shrewdest buyers. It
is the course they have discovered
which pays them the best.
It will also pay you best.
