It doesn’t seem like the farm ers are beating the boll weevil as fast as they intended to. All during the winter months came the advise to plant early, culti vate fast, and lay-by early, and , thus make a crop before the weevil did much damage. Ma 'ny were intending to do this, but the appointments of man doesn’t always go hand in hand [ with those of God. Many are predicting that there will not be any cotton raised this year. Some go so far as to say that there will not be anything made. This is idle speculation as there is no foun dation for such expressions, but I had best leave this subject to Red Bird, who can deal with it in a better manner than I. Mr. M. E.

Now, it could be that his son was hauling whiskey, concealed in his car, being him self well armed and his life en dangered. Which was the bet ter times, then or now? CORINTH.

Pleasant Evening: Reveries—A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. SANCTUARY. Keep in your soul some still untroubled space Weft of the things of loveliness and grace, Where when a harried world distraught with fire, Presses too hard on you you may retire As to a ferny spot in some deep wood. Far from life’s turmoil and in quietude, Where woe comes not, and peace her dwellings hath Unvexed by man’s unceasing urge to wrath. (Copywright 1921 by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) The one lesson which it is necessary for humans to learn if the)' would be happy is the inability of material things to satisfy. We strive vainly for years for some possession or pleasure which we think will make our happiness and con tentment perfect and when we at last achieve it, we find it is only ashes in our mouth. The only good we receive from it is the determination we may gain in striving for it. Happiness is really gained through things which seem to our ma f erial eye intangible but which, after all, are the real things in life, Analyze the pleasure we gain. A young girl is eager for anew dress. She thinks if she could but possess a certain dress she would be completelp happy. Perhaps fortune grants this favor and the dress is hers. Perhaps she is happy, but it is not the dress which makes her so, if she is a natural-born fun loving girl. It is the pleasure her pos session gives to others. The mere possession of the dress means nothing to her. It is the intangible that really counts Take the case of a man who brings his wife a piece of lov able jewelry. Is it the possession that pleases her? That is the tangible thing, the thing which we can see and feel. It is the thought which prompted the gift which brings the happy flush to her cheek and tears of happiness into her eyes So, after all, material pleasures are not the real things i They are not the things that count. Happiness comes thro’ intangible things—love, unselfisnness forgiveness, thought fulness. And the best part about it is that the intangible things are things we cannot possess in any degree. That degree all depends on ourselves. Our brains were not intended to be merely store houses for facts, but to be sieves through which a great deal passes and only the things which the individunj considers worth while is retained. The schooi that insists upon its students learning a great quantity of data is working on the wrong piinciple. Facts are worth nothing to us if we cannot learn how to assimi late them and properly use them. The child who is early taught to reason rather than re member, has a good start in life. As problems arise he will be able to work them out himself. And the facts that he learns through his own ability to reason will he retained in his every day working kit. It is not nearly so important to know the dates, battles, leaders, etc., of the French revolution as it is to be able to reason out the causes and results and to see the universal application of these principles. Knowledge of a fact is only useful when it can be applied to present conditions. So when the children bring home a low mark in history there is not always a reason to despair. Find out whether those low marks were the result of their failure to remember dates. It so, and if their paper showed their ability to reason things out for themselves, take heart. You have a bright child — one who is able to know better than the present educational system, the things tnat will be necessary for him to learn, in order to help him in later life.? One failure or five won’t hurt you just so you profit by each and make good in the end. An average man never feels so small as when people tell him he is great. i: ' '• “May slanders and your coffee be the same —without grounds.” NO- IB
