OUR HOUSEHOLD •
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
A Little “Preachment”
“They do me wrong who say I come
no more
When once I knock and fail to
find you in;
For every day 1 stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake and rise to
fight and win.”
, Nobody ever spoke truer words
than these of Judge Walter Malone.
And today I am going to give you
a little “preachment” on the subject,
lor at this time there are many that
are discouraged, and almost ready to
say that as they did their best and
seemed to have failed it is no use to
try any more.
Almost everybody takes stock of
their endeavors about this time of
the year, and it is a good practice
to get an accurate knowledge of
one’s accomplishments. But it' one
does that and finds not any advance
v it is not good business for them to
stop and turn around, unless there
is a really better way for them to go.
But there is such a tendency to
rush, and to think that everything
can be done in a hurry. It takes a
year to make fruit, ar to grow corn,
or to really establish oneself in any
position. Then if there is no visible
result the question must be asked:
“Am I making any roots in the
ground?” for there must be roots to
grow as well as leaves and sprouts.
The tree that puts out. leaves and
has no root system won’t do well
very long.
The fault of the age is a mad en
deavor
To leap the heights that were made
to climb;
By a burst of strength, or a thought
most clever,
We plan to forestall and outwit
Time.
We scorn to wait for the thing worth
having:
We want high noon at the day’s
dim dawn;
We find no pleasure in toiling and
saving
As our forefathers did in the old
times gone.
FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
J. T. A., Offerman, Ga., writes:
I have fifteen acres of very fer
tile land pairtly taken by Ber
muda grass. Please advise me
how to reclaim the land from
this grass, or rather how to de
stroy the grass. Also how to
rid a farm of nut grass.
The best way to destroy Bermuda
grass is to plow it up this fall just
before severe freezes begin. Leave
the roots as much exposed as pos
sible, and, after a heavy freeze, har
row the roots out, rake up, and burn
them. We then plant the land to
corn, velvet beans, soy beans, or

you shade this land for a year or

One Arrest Made,
Others Expected in
Florida Lash Case
MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 12.—Louis
Martin is under arrest at the county
jail on a charge of conspiracy as
a result of information obtained
> from Mrs. Hugo Hubsch, also under
arrest, regarding flogging of her
husband November 6 by a band of
masked men. Martin has been pro
prietor of a pressing establishment
adjoining the Hubsch drug store at
Cocoanut Grove.
Mrs. Hubsch, who is reported to
have confessed that she instigated
the flogging because her husband
had offended her, was in so serious
i a mental condition last night that
she was taken to a hospital, being
released from jail on a bond of sl,-
000. Her husband is a patient in
the same hospital, suffering from
injuries received at the hands of the
whipping party. The sheriff’s office
says other arrests will be made
today.

We crave to gain, but despise th
getting;
We want the wealth—not as re
ward, but dower;
And the strength that is wasted in
useleSs fretting
Would fell a forest, or build a
tower.”
Let us all stop and think of these
lines, and resolve with God’s help to
at least try to make next yeax a fair
er copy of the right way to do things.
We can all of us try to climb, and
while we are climbing we can help
our brother or sister, who may be
sitting by the wayside almost over
come with disappointment. Jt is a
fact that many of us fail to take
into our minds that every time we
help another we also help ourselves.
In helping the one that is discour
aged we also put fresh courage into
our own hearts. When we gain suc
cess, honestly, we can always look
back with a sense of satisfaction, but
when we trample on another to
climb the heights of success we ere
[sure to encounter some place on the
journey that gives us a blot to mar
our retrospect. Don’t get the idea
that because a man, or a woman,
seems to have the world in a sling
that all is well in that heart. It is
a mistake for any one to put too
high an estimate on his, or her, own
wisdom. God’s Word tells all of us
how to live, and how sure are the
wages of sin, or even of selfishness.
Plenty of people will not allow
themselves to look upon the past.
It has been strewn with wrecks of
high resolutions, or good resolves,
and of lives rendered useless by their
evil influence. I admit all these are
awful. It is bad to even see inno
cent mistakes, but when we see that
the pathway is so bad that it drives
one to dispair, then is the time to
right about face and to really put a
hand in God’s hand, and as a little
child, rely on that wisdom that has
never failed to lift even the worst
sinner out of the mire.
And right here let me thank the
readers who have written me such
encouraging letters about my efforts
to help.
are trying to get grass, and we are
surprised to find that you wish to
destroy this fine field of Bermuda.
We would rather think you could
use it profitably in association with
a dairy or live stock business.
We have eliminated nut grass
from infested areas on the college
farm by the simple procedure of
planting winter oats and vetch there
on in the fall and using cowpeas,
millet, soy beans, velvet beans, or
other shade crops during the sum
mer. It was necessary for us to
continue this practice for about three
years in succession before the nut
grass was entirely destroyed. Shad
ing, however, is the most effective
means you can utilize for the pur
pose indicated. You may at the same
time utilize the land profitably for
cropping.
Drinking Water Rushed
To Louisiana Parish
In Blighting Drought
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12.—Street
sprinklers, tank cars and tank
trucks were pressed into service to
day to transport drinking water to
citizens of St. Bernard parish a« a
result of an appeal from parish
authorities and officials of the Red
Cross. St. Bernard is south of New
Orleans.
St. Bernard officials said the sit
uation was “painful,” but not se
rious. Virtually every cistern in the
parish is dry and for weeks water
has been hauled in casks on motor
trucks from the Mississippi river.
While the last general rain occurred
on September 28 residents of De La
Croix island, in the southern part
of the, parish, declare no rain has
fallen in the last six months. St.
Bernard parish is Louisiana's great
est vegetable producer. The soil is
alluvial and has never required irri
gation of any kind. At this time,
however, parts of the parish are
parched and dry for the first time
within the memory of the oldest in
habitants.
ALABAMA DROUGHT
RELIEVED BY RAIN
FLORENCE, Ala., Nov. 12.—The
first general rain here since August
4 began falling this morning at 5
o’clock and continued steadily dur
ing the morning hours. Four light
showers each of less than one-tenth
of an inch of precipitation have
fallen since that date, but this rain
fall was quickly swallowed up by
the parched earth. Cloudy weather
was reported at several’ Alabama
points, including Huntsville, Mont
gomery, Tuscaloosa and Selma.
Heroic Hospital Staff
Save Patients From
Fire Swept Building
LUMBERTON, N. C., Nov. 12.
Twenty-six patients and 14 nurses
had narrow escapes and the lives of
some of the former were saved only
by heroic efforts on the part of
some of the latter when the Thomp
son hospital, a wooden structure,
was destroyed by fire of undetermin
ed origin Tuesday, involving an es
timated loss of $40,000, partly cover
ed by insurance.
Three of the patients had under
gone serious operations within nine
hours of the fire. A number of
them were carried from their rooms
on the second floor to safety in the
arms of nurses while the building
burned rapidly. Dr. T. C. Thomp
son, superintendent, is said to have
entered a number of the rooms as
the walls and ceiling were falling in,
to make sure that all patients had
been removed.
The patients were removed to the
Baker sanatorium, a few blocks
away.

Dear Folks:
I have had a number of letters
asking tor some entertainment that
could be used for winter afternoons.
Some asking for church society en
tertainments with the additional re
quest that 1 suggest how the enter
tainment could be used as a help to
the coming church bazar.
This entertainment has been used
for that purpose successfully so I’m
giving it to you.
The hostess as her share in the
bazar work furnished the light re
freshments, and her society from
their treasury bought the linen for
the handkerchiefs. Each guest was
furnished with the linen for a hand
kerchief and the thread which was
also bought by the society. The
person making the prettiest hand
kerchief in the time allotted, say a
couple of hours while plans for the
bazar xvere being discussed won a
prize. Some trifling prize would do.
The handkerchiefs were then put
away and sold at the bazar, bringing
a neat profit from a pleasantly
spent afternoon.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Minnie:
You can buy the vacuum cleaners
on the installment plan and if you

you would have to give proper ref

I will give your name to such a

I have had as much success with
the quick rolls as with those that
were made up at night or early in
the morning and allowed to rise ten
to twelve hours. There is this,
however, about the quick rolls. They

rolls, in other words, they get hard
quicker.
Mother:
I certainly believe that beets
cooked as a vegetable—that is,
served with butter, pepper and salt
—will be better for-children than
pickled beets. Orange juice is splen
did for children. Give your little
girl the juice of an orange every
morning. I think the pulp of the
orange is indigestible.
Nell:
You could cover your last win
ter's yellow satin evening dress with
brown or old blue georgette crepe
this year and make a stunning aft
ernoon dress. If you used brown,
I’d like the brown satin slippers
and sand-colored stockings. If the
blue, black satin slifpers and sand
colored stockings. >
Jim:
It is hard to get your hands in
condition for indoor work after
hard outdoor work. Try this. Soak
your hands, at night, in very warm
water and a pure soap, keep them
in this until the ends of the fingers
look wrinkled, then rub around the
nails and well into the hands a
good cold cream. Rub this in thor
oughly, then wipe off the surplus
cream. Always dry your hands well
after washing them.

I
tor 20 years l.e had drawn a large
salary, lie had no children. Only
his wife and himself to support.
Yet bp left be
hind him only a
used automobile,
the commonplace
furniture of a |
small apartment [
and SSOO in the
bank. There was
no insurance pol
icy. No savings.
Nothing to pro
vide food or shel
ter for- his deli-
Icate, helpless,
middle-aged wife.
All of this
man’s life earn
’ ing*3—a fortune
/ 'A
En
in the aggregate —had gone for new
cars, for restaurant dinners, for fine
clothes, for little foolish extrava
gances ’hat were just the gratifica
tion of the moment. His wife and
himself had never looked beyond the
pleasure of the minute until the
grim hour came in which she turned
terrified eyes upon a cold world in
which she was penniless.
Do you ever think, Mr. Man, that
if you should die that your own wife
would be in the same position to that
unfortunate woman? Do you ever
think, Mrs. Woman, what would hap
pen to you if your husband should
die or get sick?
You are living up to the last cent
of your income. You are laying up
nothing for a rainy day, and only
luck stands between you and over
whelming disaster.
And why do you run this terrible
risk?
Because you are crazy for an au
tomobile, although you know you
can’t afford it. Because all of your
friends live in high-priced apart
ments, so you pay more than you
should. Because you give jolly, little
rßstaurant parties and lose money
at card games that you cannot spare,
but you can’t run with the bunch
unless you are a good spender. Be
cause you can’t resist the temptation
of pretty frocks and hats, and good
clothes, even if the bill collectoi
cces hcund yopr steps.
Those who dance must pay the pi
per, and it takes all you make —and
then some—to live on, but you kid
yourself along by thinking that
youth is the time for enjoyment, and
that when you are older you will
begin to save.
Ycu ha"c got it wrong. Youth is
the time to save, and unless you
form the habit of thrift when you
are young you will never save at all.
Furthermore, youth is just of itself
happiness enough. It does not need
anything to enhance the mere joy
of living. You do not need a feast
when your appetite is keen, nor
bought pleasures when you are
bubbling over with high spirits and
laugh just because it is so good to
be alive. It is age that needs all
the consolations that money can
buy it.
There is no other weakness in hu
man nature so inexplicable as that
which makes it risk its own safety,
and that of its beloved, for the sake
of a moment’s gratification. No, it
is even worse than that. Men and
women deliberately purchase an
hour's i leasure with years of mis
ery.
For there is nobody so ignorant,
nobody such a dolt, as not to know
that the waster and the spender is
bound to come to poverty and want
in the end.
Life screams its warning to us
from every corner. There is not
one of us w’ho could not organize a
down-md-out club among our per
sonal acquaintances.
We all know men and women who
were cnee prominent in club and so
cial ’ife; men who drove fast cars
and gave champagne parties; wom

Ambassador Will Return
To China Post Nov. 28
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Jacob
Gould Schurman, minister to China,
I called today on President Coolidge
I preparatory to returning to his post
' from a leave of absence which he
; has been spendin? in this country,
j He expects to sail from Seattle on
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER TS, T 027.
and whose entertainments were the
talk of. the town; men and women '
who spent money as if it grew on [
trees; who lived up to the last cent
of their income, and who now, brok
en in purse, in health, in heart,
seedy and forlorn, are pensioners on
our bounty or glad to take any men
ial job that will give them bread.
For the crash always comes. Lady
luck does not always smile upon
us. Even, the mest competent men
lose their jobs through some fluke
of chance. Every business is sub
ject to a thousand hazards. Sick
ness and old age are bound to come
to all. And then the man who has
not saved part of his earnings, who
Jias no anchor to the windward, is
overwhelmed in the sea of disaster
and goes to the bottom.
Sometimes the people who do
not lay up anything for the future
justify their extravagance by saying
that their children will take care
of them when they are old. But they
find out, all too late, that dependence
is bitter, no matter whether they
eat their children’s bread or a
stranger’s. Their own sons and
daughters may be willing to support
their pauper parents, but there are
always the in-laws to consider. And
no one can rightly blame Mary’s
husband for feeling that it is atj
imposition to have to feed and clothe
Mary’s father, who has spent his
own substance in riotous hying.
Besides, nobody, not even one's
own children, can really respect a
parasite, and there is a world of
difference between the deference
that is shown father and mothet
with their own pocketbooks and
able to make presents, and father
and mother who have to have every
thing given io them.
Lack of thrift in its ultimate re
sult is dishonesty. The self-indulg
ents, who will not deny themselves
to save up anything against their
day of need, rob the thrifty. When
they are sick, we must take care of
them. When they are hungry, we
must feed them. When they are
homeless, we must give them shel
ter. When they have eaten their
cake, we must divide our hard-earn
ed bread with them. And the result
is just the same as if they forced
us at the point of a gun to give them
the contents of our pocketbooks.
All of this is as much of a bromidic
truth as that thrift means prosperity
< nd spending maans want; but we
can never take the lesson to heart
too much to know that our safety,
our independence, our well-being, de
pends on our banking part of our
income. So get the thrift habit, and
get it now.

Gland Extracts
Make Hens Lay
Scientists have discovered that hens are
just like human beings—they need gland
extracts. And they also need vitamines.
After years of research, one of America’s
greatest chemists has compounded a mar
velous vitamins and gland extract tablet.
The ingredients work directly on the hen’s
ovaries and the result is eggs, eggs and
still more eggs.
Just crush a few of these vitamine tab
lets in the drinking water. Then watch
the action! Government station reports

Two Road Officials
Removed by Judge
In Tennessee County
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 12.
J. Will Spradlin, Knox county’s
general superintendent of roads, and
George Williams, manager of the
county workhouse, were today oust
ed from their respective offices by
Circuit Judge A. C. Grill after a
trial lasting nearly three weeks.
Ouster of the officials was pe
titioned for by 15 citizens of Knox
county who charged misconduct in
office, waste and extravagance in
handling of public funds and failure
and neglect to perform their duties.
Decree of the jurist in perma
nently removing the officials up
held these changes and summed up
the evidence introduced and finds
“that the defendant Spradlin has
been semi-intoxicated upon various
occasions in public places . . .
wilfully violated or knowingly failed
to comply with the terms and pro
visions of the Knox county road law;
that extravagance, waste and graft
and corrupting influences were ex
istent.”
