You will be shown just how you may cook a complete meal that has all (he flavor, all the deliciousness, all the tastiness of the old-time Dutch Oven method of cooking —in a modern AA’est irythouse “Flavor Zone.” Electric Range. The old Dutch Oven is used no more. It is a relic of the times when wom en had nothing to do hul cook and sew and sprinkle clean sand on the floor. Now there are clubs and card parties, movies and books, shopping and motoring—a hundred and one ways for the busy, modern woman to broaden her life, to get the fun that’s coming to her in a world full of won derful tilings to do. Time in the kitchen is time taken from life, from children growing up, from active engagement in women’s af fairs. And every housewife wants more time to devote to herself and to her family and friends. Be sure to atten dtlie demonstra tion of electric cookery mentioned above. ft costs you nothing—yet it may he worth many hours of leisure to you! Yours very truly, GEORGIA POWER COMPANY P. S. The new residential electric rate makes electric cookery more eco nomical than ever before. Permit us to explain it to you. FOY “Our hearts go out to you on (his, your twenty-first birthday. AA’e are proud of you and our interest in you prompts us to throw out to you a few lines of caution. This old world is full if sin and the devil, wise and cun ning. is continually baiting an attrac tive hook to tempt just such noble manhood as yours. Despise him and look upon him as your bitterest foe. Let your life be cel an, your habits good ind manly. Pin your faith and trust in God who loves you, even better than ,our Papa and Mama. Ask His guid ance and direction. live close to Him and your success and happiness is not only assured in this life, but in the life to come. Do all the good you can as true happiness, properly understood consists of doing good. Have an aim in life and aim high, or as Emerson says, ’Hitch your wagon to a star’ and stick to your aim. The mongrel’s grip will slip, but only crowbars loose the bulldog’s lip; small though lie seems, the joy that never yields, bows down the bellowing monarch of the fields. “Your life is going to be just what you determine to make it. God grant that it may he for His glory and your happiness. AVe are sending a little remembrance with our tenderst love.

Popular at Home and Abroad High Yields Make Best Profits Contests throughout the South have shown the way to better profits from cotton through, higher yields per acre, which lowers the costs tier pound. It is never safe to predict the priee of cotton for next season ; hut regardless of what it brings, the farmer must use every means at his command to produce the fibre at a low cost. Low cost will give the farmer a better op liort unity for profit. With a view to showing the farmers of the South how they can secure more cotton per acre, and thus lower the cost per pound, the N. V. Potash Ex port My. place many demonstration tests throughout the cotton licit. An average of 296 demonstrations under field Conditions shotffed .con clusively that farmers cun secure 20 lier cent more cotton than they have lieen making by adding forty pounds of additional potash. In the majority of these tests the extra potash was put. down as a side dresser just after the cotton was chopped to-* a stand. A good example of an Increased yield derived from an application of addi tional amount of potash to a demon stration plot of cotton Is that of Mr. J. O. McWilliams, who lives on the farm of Dr. P. O. McDaniel, in Rock dale county. Mr. McWilliams used eighty pounds of muriate of potash as a top dresser to one plot of cotton which was in addition to his regular fertilizer and a top dresser of 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda last year. The plot receiving the top dressing of potash made an average of 381 pounds of seed cotton more per acre than a similar plot without the top dressing of potash. In the piedmont section of Georgia, the writer conducted forty demonstrations last year, using muri ate potash as a top dresser for cotton in addition to the farmer’s regular fertilizer and ids nitrogen top dresser, which gave similar profitable returns. GEO. A. TOWNSEND. Methodist Record Next Sunday we will offer n special program in connection with (he month ly observance of Missionary day.
