the things you have learned and make
some things better on your own farm.
You can plan;to make more bales of

more of othfcr things to sell, or you can
raise more things that you will need
at home for feed or food, or you can
take better care of the land, or have
a better garden or better chickens, or
plant more , grass and flowers around

be prouder of. None of these will cost

then one of two things is true; either
you are in the wrong kind of business,
or your busies* hits the wrong kind '
of manager at the-head Of it.
Or, if you are the manager of a
home, perhaps a wife, then there is al
ways. robj/ for growth among us all
for a hit more hospitality, or a bit
more attraction about the home, or,
some new or useful practice to make
the home more enviting.
Or, if you are a preacher or a teach

ing, or encouragement that will help to
make better people, or citizens of
those to whom you are responsible if
you have the ability of finding the way
of doing it.
Or, if you ate Working for some
one else you will gain training and a
greater pleasure in your work, and
finally more pay, for your self, apd;

your muscles as well as your mind and
prove to your employer that you are
sincerely and greatly interested in
your work and the success of the one

will be happier too.

| Yes, there is a place and a need for .
every single one to do some things that
will help you and others. |
Now, friends, I have tried to show
that each of you can do something to
help make Rockdale County, and your
community a brtter place in which to
live, and that if you will do so, each
one of you can find something to do
that will help make it so. And on
thinking on this I hope yoa will be
more convinced that you should do so,
and that you will be willing to do so,
and that you will do so. By so doing
you can help your self and others. let
seemingly brought more'happiness to
more people in Rockdale county than
your conscience be your guide in an
swering this.
You will notice that the things I have
mentioned so far apply to your own
particular cativlties in the things you
can do your self. Now, I shall mention
a way for all who believe in, and will
practice more-progress in the things
mentioned above to render agtiil fur
ther service that will help yon and
others, and your community and coun
ty That is this: that as many of you
as are willing to do it, increase your
willingness to cooperate with your
neighbors and fellow citizens in a sys-

tematje cooperative way. There are
many things that catyaiid should be
done that (can only, or beet be doflie by
working together with, or cooperating
with others. This kind of spirit and ac
tion can and does make a better com
munity, and county. As one example
of this I mention the P. T. A. at Oak
Grove in this county, and the good
community spirit there. I tell ypu those
people know that they are making
Oak Grove community** and that it is
a mighty fine place Ih which to live.
As othdr examuplea of benefits de
rived by cooperation, helping the peo- :
pie cooperating and ©tilths, this yeaT,
I mention these gs reminders as proof
of the practicability of each;
(1) Through cooperation, Rockdale
Copnty had a free one day fair 'that (
I any other on a day of the year, and at
the same time had anednational side
that benefited hundreds of people. .?
' (2) Through cooperation, Conyers
and Rockdale Baptist Churches are get
ting a pastor that is a bOfc&r preacher
than either could have gotten with the
salary each one offered.
(3) Through cooperation, In coop
erative marketing farmers of ftockdale
County have made a profit of more than
thirty six hundred dollars this year.
(4) Through cooperation among
farmers in this county it has been pos
sible to get agricultural lime, which is
only gotten in car lots, which has en
abled fifteen farmer* to sow alfalfa.
I know of farmers in adjoining county
who wished to sow alfalfa but could
not get the lime needed.
Through cooperation within the last
two years most children of the county
have the advantages of consolidated
schools, and during the same period of
time through cooperation the many'
demonstrations Of five acre cotton
patches half of the farmers are prac
ticing improved and more profitable
methods ofcotton productloh.
I believe and wish that every one
wishing to give some services that will
help to make 1930 a greater year for
progress will have a chance to do so.
Sincerely yours,

a sailor stands on the tiny gangway
to receive them, und to each be bonds
his waste, rolled in n neat' boll.
The reason is that the steel doors

Lunch Hour Music
Passing a London church one mid
day recently, I was tempted by the
inviting shade of its porch to seek
shelter from the heat of the street.
Within, my ears were greeted by
a cool sound, that of a string quar
tette, and I discovered the players
seated in the chnncel of the pictur
esque Tudor church, discoursing that
freshest of music, Haydn’s. Midday
concerts in city churches have grown
in popularity, and now not only do
they take the *orm of organ recitals
with an occasional vocal solo, but one
may chance to hear a violin or cello,
a string trio or quartette, or even a
gramophone recital.—-London Dally
