Under the direction of County Agent 11. L. King, this association was organized at Hartford in 1917. The first year of its existence. 1917- 18 season, there were many difficul ties to overcome, but during the fol lowing season it was entirely suc cessful and more Jhan $100,030 worth of hogs were sold co-operatively through the association. The • past season it has been equally as suc cessful. There were two months last year during which no sale was held —July and August. They began regularly in September and since then have been conducted regularly every one or two weeks with from one to three carloads of hogs each sale. County Agent King is now listing hogs for a sale each month during the coming summer. On. account of the heavy rains and cold weather last sale day. March 4. many were prevented front bringing their hogs. However, at noon two c; rloads were auctioned.

This is only one instance, however, of how the Hartford farmers do things. A feNv nights ago the leading breeders of pure-bred Poland-China hogs met at the Bank of Hartford and under the direction of the county agent a permanent association was organized to be knwn as the Geneva Count'’ Poland-China Breedersc’ association. To the one knowing the ‘‘pull togeth er” qualities of these people it can he easily expected that big results are in store for this association. The butter industry of the United States is so large that more than a ton of butter was made per minute, ''day and night, in 1918, yet this enor mous production scarcely meets do mestic needs. OUR HOUSEHOLD CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS Thursday’s Tri-Weekly Journal had an account of a cyclone that swept over a portion of this county. April 20, but 1 am going to try to tell you a few of the details. A man who was in it said the cloud covered the earth, that he could not see even what he had in his hand. He saw it coming, saw it scatter a house just as a child’s breath can kn6ck down one. built of straws. A government truck was near him and he caught hold of that, but it’be gan to move and he says he let go. He thinks it was his intention to put something under the wheels to keep it from rolling, but that’s the last he knows about the truck, and he does not know whether he was lifted or rolled along, it was too dark for him to see, even to think, and he remembers that he tried to catch hold of something. Then he felt some thing warm and yielding, he was against it, but could not tell whether it was an animal or a human being. When the cloud lifted he was near no living creature. He says that the whole affair must not have been an hour but his mind simply regis tered certain impressions and then was a blank. We live twelve miles from the nearest devastated locality, up on a mountain, but in our pasture, I picked up a child’s hat, a neighbor has a big armful of shingles. another found a piano or organ key. There was one home at this near est place, Bethel church community, where all were killed but one son, cows, horses, even some of , the chickens, others injured. Our Methodist pastor was near Russellville and saw a family in coffins, there were nine killed; the baby was in the mother’s arms. She had it when the wind demolished the house; it blew her a mile and landed her in the top of a tree, the baby j still in her arms; her neck and one I arm was broken when they got her down. Some of the houses were lifted bod ily and twisted into splinters: one' large barn had the top taken off and set down like a box top would be, that dwelling was skipped and' an other not fifty feet away was made into kindling wood. All the imagi nation you possess would not picture these regions. The storm was freak ish, a half or a quarter of a mile from the north, apparently, then from the south or east or west. Planks, ten feet long, driven into big trees, one little child carefully laid between ,two big logs. The Bethel school house was lifted, twisted and •ruined, yet not a child hurt. They were taking examinations. One family, whose house was ruined, had S4OO blown away, some was found, sometimes a bill was I torn; one man lost $2,000 in notes, i bonds and money. 1 saw a postal ■ MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME Dear Miss Meredith: I am com ing to you for advice.

Do what your mother wants you to do, dnd I am sure you won’t go far wrong.

Then discontent corner, dissatisfaction; oftentimes it leads to divorce. If hot that, the husband is a target to be nagged . at, and both are made miserable.

Dear Miss Meredith: Would ap preciate it very much if you would answer the following questions: How old does a girl have to get before she is considered an “old maid?” Also, how old does a man get before he is considered an “old bachelor?” I always heard it .said that a girl or woman was considered ait “old maid” at thirty and a man an “old bachelor” at thirty-five, but have heard it right recently that a girl was considered an “old maid” at twenty-five and a man an “old bachelor” at twenty seven.

The wind had to do it. for the postmark was ’the nine teenth and it landed here the twen tieth. Yesterday a little child was heard crying in some woods near Spruce Pine, Ala.; and the men fpund a two-year-old baby. Nobody ever saw her before. She cannot tell them anything. There are probably many dead or wounded in the mountains or coves that must be found.- Some are ipissing, and two dead men are unidentified. Some bodies are be yond recognition. A preacher had just stepped out of his house and a scantling cut him in two pieces. A man was telling some of his neigh bors about it. and some one said, “Who is looking after things at Mr. Blanton’s.” His answer was, "There is nothing to look after—people dead, horse dead, cow blown away,' chick ens gone and everything scattered for miles. Doctors, nurses. Red Cross work ers and donations are trying - tO-bury the dead and help the wounded. It was after breakfast. Had it been in the night I suppose the damage would have been even greater, for some had gone out of the terrible zone. That morning we had the rain in torrents and the air filled with leaves, stray and trash, but no dam age was done in the valley. At the breakfast table we were talking about the plans of the teach ers, school closed next day, and that was Tuesday. I said. “Oh, tjjese to morrows!” The farmer said the preacher tries to scare us with the idea that tomorrow never comes.” My answer was, “A soul goes out of this life every minute, so there will be plenty who will not see an other tomorrow in this life.” And right -then the havoc was beginning in Mississippi. Storm houses are numerous around here, but you may be sure that they will be multiplied this year. This storm could be seen long enough ahead for the people to seeti places of shelter. Z The trouble of this valley is that water seeps into every low place. Our cellar has been cemented and plastered four times and right now is two feet in water. It dries out and in summer is splendid for a cold storage place. . . Will this storm be a lesson for the people? Let us hope so. But many of you know what answer was given Dives when he asked that Lazarus be sent to warn his brothers. I’ve heard strong men pray and promise during an earthquake and deny it bitterly a week after that.

I think thirty is the real age a woman is considered an old maid. But thirty isn’t old, even at.that. , When people speak of a single man in his later twenties, they usually say “He’s a bachfelor,” • If he is-beyond the age of forty they might then call him an old bachelor.

The far mer’s chief complaint was that they burrowed under his fields and occa sionally nibbled his crop, -thus caus ing him losses. And seldom stopping to consider that the muskrats pelts would .more than pay for the trifling annoyance the animals caused, the farmers often set about to exterminate them. For every case w'here it is shown that the muskrat attacked crops on lands near marshes, there, is another which shows that he lefj. crops en tirely alone, even though they were near at hand. It has taken the American farmer a number of years to realize just what a money-making asset the pos session of muskrat marches on his lands is to him. Time was when he either ignored muskrats (save for the sport of catching them) or act ually drove them out while subject to the belief that 'they were pests. Now the more astute American farmer looks on the presence of muskrats in his bottom, lands just as he regards the cornfields of the higher slopes—as a crop. He encourages them to breed, pro tects them during the mating sea son, traps them only when the law' permits and makes every effort to promote their growth as a crop— not for any purely humanitarian mo tive, but because muskrat farming pays—and pays well. It is no unusual thing for a farmer to trap fifty muskrats in an acre or two of useless marshlands, and re ceive for their pelts an average of $2 a piece, and in many instances considerably more. At this rate, his fur crop would bring him in the neighborhood of 'slo0 —$100 that would come to him practically with out effort on his part, since musk rat trapping is simple and requires little time. To the man in the country who, up to this time, has been indifferent to the muskrat’s existence, the animal’s new status should be of interest, especially since fashion has taken up the “rat” and the market for his pelt is broader than ever. But as a final word of caution — don’t trap out of season—don’t vio late game laws—regard the muskrat as a crop that should be guarded and protected, and it. will return you big profits. SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON Bor May 2—l Sam 1:24-28; 3:1-21 BY DB. MA3IGN M’ll. HULL Golden Text: “My son, give thine heart: and let thine eyes delight in my ways.” I’rov. 23:_G. The only time in the history of the world that pure democracy prevailed was during the period of the Judges, when “every man did that which was right in his own eyes”— and it was a miserable failure. This was particularly true of the last: part of it, when Eli was the judge. Eli himself was a godly man in some ways, but be was flabby. He was not a man ot heroic deeds; there was no victory over Israel’s enemies during his judgeship, as there had been under the other judges. He was fifty-eight years old before lie began to judge Israel at all, and then his priestly office rather overshadowed his Other functions. During his time of service Israel got farther and farther away from God instead of closer to Him, until at last the word of God became very precious; there was no open vision in those days. There was no one to whom and through whom God could reveal His will to the people. The chief reason for this condition was the life of Eli’s two •jous, Hopl ni and Phinehas. They had been put into the priestly office by their father, according to the custom of the day; but their inheritance was their only qualification. They were thoroughly ungodly men, and were using their office for their own selfish ends and gratification rather than regarding it as a trust to he used for (tod. They were guilty of greed and ot lechery. Their con duct, was not only culpable in itself, but it diil the cause of religion incalculable harm. Men became disgusted with religion when it was associated with injustice and unright eousness. And this, of course, had its effect on the nation. Such an example on the part of the priests was followed by the people, until the whole moral tone of the nation was lowered. Church officers particularly, but also all other officials, have a. grave responsibility. Their lives are necessarily outstanding, and tjie nation's level is deter mined largely which their lives are lived. No wonder the word of God was precious in those days and that there was no open vision 1 Eli was par.tieeps criminis in this, be cause he knew how his sons were living, and instead of kicking them out of office, simply gave them a mild rebuke. Answered Prayer Some years before this there lived a man at J’l’mah, a few miles north of Jerusalem, mini, d Elkaiifih. He had two wives, one of whom hail children and the other was child less. I’enicab never ceased to chide Hannah about this, for she was jealous of E.kanab's greater love for Hannah. Every year when they went up to Sliilohr, about thirty miles nortl-.dart of Hamah, to worship the Lord at the yearly Sacrifice, Peninhb made it more uncomfortable for Hannah. It was a groat source of grief to Hannah, for 'll was a disgrace for a woman to be childless: it was considered as a curse of God. Elkanah did all he could to comfort her. and asked her one day if he were not better to. her than ten sons; but she would not be comforted. For years she prayed ..for a son. but no child came: until one year at Shiloh it seemed as if her heart would burst in its great desire. She could not even utter her petition it was so intense! Eli saw a woman over there just moving her lips, but saying nothing. He thought she was drunk, ami rebuked her severely. ' Had lie had a little more tact, a little more spirituality, a little more of the gentleness that a. spiritual leader should have possessed, he wouldn’t have rebuked her at aid. He would have been truer to his office had he rebuked his sons and not rebuked Hannah. She accepted the rebuke patiently, and then told him she was not ilrunk, but pray ing for a son. To his credit, he apologized and then added his prayer to hers for the blesSbig" she desired. Lt was a long delay, but the answer to her years of prayer at. last came. About a year'later, a little boy was born to her and Elkanah, whom she named Asked-of-God, or Saumel. Had God answered her prayer jit first, she would have gotten only a son; because of the delay, she got not only a son but a vrophet. a faithful priest, a judge, a maker of kings. The delay too fitted Hannah to become the mother of such a son, for it was due to Hannah’s training of Samuel during the first five years of his life UhR he became the man of God that he was. Don’t be discouraged if your prayer for something has not been answered. Delay is not denial: the answer will be far better when it comes than it could have been at once. Tho Call of God , yVhen he <vas. weaned —at five years or more —Hannah true to her promise, b-ouglit . him to. the temple'of Shiloh and left him there as a loan to God. From time to time she brought him new clothes she had made bht-from a child lie grew’up in the temple' as a servant of Eli. The eomluet of Hoplini and Pliiueas must IfaVc - disgusted . him . i;4. pit 1 , gr'ew. older ami realized what a' child 'could of their nn • godly lives. Instead of being contaminated by them, it must have made him more de termined not to be like them. -Sqinuel’s duties were those tltat a small boy eonld perform. He kept the lamp burn ing; he . opened anil closed the doors of the temple; he ran errands for Eli, and was subject to his cal! when lie needed Jiim. One night he and Eli were both sleeping; it was nearly morning, when a Voice called “Samuel.” Instantly the boy was awake and at Eli’s side. “Here am I,” he said. Eli disclaimed any knowledge of it. an J must have thought that Samuel was dream ing. Three times this occurred, when El realized, that the Lord was trying to speak Io him. Samuel did not yet know how God would communicate with men. Os course, he knew abbut God. but he bad not learned t > know God, but lie had not learned Io know God individually. So Eli instructed him to say. "Speak. Lord, for thy servant Jieareth.” if there should be a repetition of the Voice. It wils repeated. This time the voice said. Samuel,” indicating the urgency of the. case. To which he replied. “Speak, for thy servant heareth,” He did not say, “Lord,’’ for lie was not sure whose the voice was. <l'lien “the voice came and stood’’—riie Cambridge Bible says “the ■voice became a vision.” At anv rate.

God wao was speaking to him. This marked j n new era in Samuel's life. When n boy j <;r girl, 111:111 or woman, recognizes God, it always makes new creatures of them. ' What a wonderful thing that God should come and speak to 11 child! And more won derful that He should speak the message He die! It was that Eli had not improved the opportunity He had given him when He sent His prophet to him; that bis sons had' not repented, but had continued in sin; and that therefore He would bring disaster to the nation, death in one day to the two wicked priests, and sorrow and disgrace to Eli. The. Nation Thrilled No wonder the boy did not sleep again that night. Stunned by such news; wondering how he could keep it trom his old master; wondering how he could tell it to him if he had to—the child’s brain must have reeled. He became a man overnight. S'ueh tremen dous responsibilities would make a child de velop into a man more in one hour than lie would normally do in many years. Rut when morning came he was ready for any emer gency- Eli came and insisted on knowing all that God had snokep,vand Samuel told him evei'.v whit, keeping brick nothing. It was dreadful to have to be such a messenger, bur it is always kindness to tell the whole will of God. Instead of exercising his right as a father (far greater than any that any father has in these days) and dealing sternly with Ills sons, lie mildly resigned himself to his fate. “It is the Lord; let Him do what seemetii to Him good”—a fine spirit of resignation, but not all that God wanted of Him now. Ilis last chance had been given nnd he had lost it. Henceforth God revealed Himself no more to Eli, but more and more i to Samuel. ; He grows in body and in mind and in I spirit, and in the esteem of the people. | From Dau to Beersheba the nation is thrilled. God is speaking again—not to an 1 old mini, uot to a woman, but this time to I the boy who is growing into a manly man. 1 Next time we slfftll look more closely into j the eh.iracter of Eli and of his sons, and to see how God carried out Ilis threatened doom. Samuel's behavior before as well as after receiving the communication from God was most remarkable and gives us some indica tion of his character. lie served Eli then as of old. although lie knew God was dis placing Eli by him. It took grace to serve under these circumstances. He didn’ti get the- swelled head. He was.prompt to obey. If you ever had to wake boys up in the morning you will appreciate how remarkable was Samuel’s prompt response when awakened out of a sound sleep. It shows lots of character in the boy; an alertness that indicates an interest and earnestness. So far as lie knew Eli waked him up three times, and each time said he didn't; but there was no sign of irritation, for he was Eli's servant, and a servant’s place is to obey. And this was responsible for tlie attitude he dispayed when he realized that it was God who had called. “Speak, tliy servant heareth.” He was listening to learn God’s will; lie was God’s servant: he would endeavor to do it as soon as he knew it. Do you realize that God is still ready to speak to you. whether you are a child of a fqw or of ninny years? He lias messages of life and of condemnation to speak through you. Speak. Lord—do you say?— they servant, thy’ bond slave, heareth and is ready to obey. That two-fold spiiit of submission and conseeratieri—surrender of ycur own will so that God may speak to your waiting heart His will, and then implicit nn.l immediate obedience to it. no matter what may l be the cost —will result in you as it did in Samuel. The people recognized the presence of God in Samuel, and he grew in power every day. That same power is available for you today if you are willing and obedient. moTherT" ♦ “California Syrup of Figs” Child’s Best Laxative Accept “California” Syrup of Figs only—look for the name California on the package, then you are sure your child is having- the best and most harmless physic for the little stom ach, liver and bowels.
