We are still having rain, too much for the fanners. Not many people are done planting corn yet and it is nearly June. Our com crop it seems will be late as well as the cotton crop. 'Die princi pal crop of cotton was planted in May. It used to be we plant ed corn first then cotton, and all who did not get their crop work ed over twice by the 10th of June was considered behind. We hur ried up with our work to get ready for wheat harvest. But for late years we have had no wheat and but. little corn, and a large cotton crop. These arc some of the changes made and the old people remember it. But I hear a great many farmers talk ing of sowing wheat next fiHl. What we need if we do return to sowing and seeding down part of our farms is for some of our enthusiastic men to buy some goot. thrashers to thrash the wheat which has been one draw' back to sowing wheat. The old thrash ers are about worn out and we need an up to date thresher in every community. The Rev. B. F. Guille preached at Walnut Grove Sunday, May, 30th. A few met last Saturday at the cemetery of this place for the purpose of cleaning off the same, but agreed to postpone un til the 2nd Saturday in June to do the work. Our crops are getting grassy and have had to stand too long without work, still the cotton is looking fairly well and is grow ing some. Some farmers have chopped out their cotton, while others have not touched it since it. was planted. Some corn that was planted in the last days of March' has just now been worked out, but looks fairly well, while some that was planted when the ground was too wea does not look so well. But if we. can get a few days of dry weather we can do a great deal of work. We are still hoping for good weather. We still have a month in which to plant, corn if we can get the ground ready and in good fix. Good land will make corn if the seasons are favorable from now on. 1 never have seen a year but what we made something anti I guess we will make as much this year as we deserve. I am thankful that it is no worse than it is. In some portions of the west they art* so dry their corn ami cotton has not come up. »St» we are in no worse condition than those people out west. G. A.

The report of the committee on temperance at the recent South ern Baptist Convention in Louis ville is such a comprehensive in dictment of the liquor traffic, and proposes such needful legis lation that we reproduce it in full. Following is the report: “There is expended in this country every year for strong drinks something over $2,000,000, 000. Among the results of this traffic in intoxicating liquors are the Joss of 100.000 lives each year 95 per cent of the murders in the country, 75 per cent of all crimes 75 per cent of divorces, and 40 per cent of insanity. With such results, can any one expect the followers of Christ to sit by and e this traffic continued without offering any protest against that traffic and doing everything pos siblc to destroy it? “We are glad to report tliat six of the fifteen states compris ing the territory of this conven tion have already abolished the traffic entirely from their bor ■lers, while all the others have abolished it from a large portion of their territory. We confident ly expect the time to come soon when every vestige of this liquor traffic shall be abolished from every part of every state in the bounds of the convention. “That traffic and especially its concrete representative, the sa loon, has no place in a civilized community, no business in a (Jurist ian country. It is an an tirchonisin, a barbari.sni. From a moral, religious, scientific, econo mic and political standpoint, the saloon has not one redeeming feature. It is an incubus, a par asite, a nuisance, the center ol all vice, the radiating point of all influences, the breathing hole oi (lie devil, a monster of injustice, iniquity and impurity. “The saloon has sinned away its day of grace, if it ever had any, and now the time liias come when the. saloon must go. “To the end that the liquor traffic may be abolished, we rec ommend : “1. That we cordially com mend the effective work of the Anti-Saloon League and other organizations seeking the suppres sion of the traffic, and give to them our co-operation atnd sup port to the extent of our ability. “2. THat we again respectfully, but earnestly, request the proper officials of our national govern ment, not to issue privilege taxes for the sale of liquor where its sale is prohibited by the laws of the state. “3. That we urge our senators and representatives in congress to pass some further ami more effective measures besides the amendment to the penal code bill adopted by the hist congress to prevent the shipment of liquor in to dry territory. “4 That a standing committee on temperance be appointed to report at the next session of the convention, and that a report on ■ the subject be made part of the ' regular order of business of the convention. “5 That we urge people every where not to vote lor anyone tor atny office who is known to be in 1 sympathy with the liquor traffic. “God hasten the day when the traffic shall be completely abol ished from our southland. our country* and from the world.

Os all the hard tack breads of the universe I have found by actual ex perience the small ringed bread of Siberia the most substantial. When the Russian engineering parties 1 were constructing the Siberian rail road this white ring bread (with the ; coarse rye bread) was their main staff of life. It is made without salt or yeast and is first steamed, then lightly baked to expel the moisture. Some curious uses -were made of these breads by the engineers. When soaked in hot pure tallow for a few moments till they sank they were used in soups or soaked in and eat en with tea during the severe win ter months. This tallow bread was considered the most heat producing article in the dietary. It should be utilized by our arctic explorers. Another curious use to which it is put is as an extempore candle or coffeepot boiler. A nail is used to make about eight holes in the tal low ring bread. Wax vestas are placed in these and ignited. It will burn slowly for about an hour, emitting a strong heat, sufficient to ■ warm and light a small tent and boil the tea or coffee water. There is a rather strong odor of toasting bread, but that is tolerated in pref erence to smoke. While sojourning with the engineers in Siberia I have 1 also seen them using the larger sizes of ringed bread as makeshift quoits for Sunday afternoon sport ■ in their tents, and the bread would stand the Knocking about pretty I well and would eventually appear in the soup at-the evening meal. Small Siberian storekeepers also use the ringed bread as an abacus or primitive counting apparatus for calculating small sums in rubles and kopecks and simple figuring. Three strings are suspended above the counter. Ten breads are strung on each. The top line represents the I rubles, their money transactions rarely going above ten, and the two lower strings stands for the kopecks. Os course the strings of bread can be increased to mount into the . thousands and up if desired. —Sci- entific American. Too Tight a Squeeze. John Fiske, the historian, was a man of enormous stature and ex tremely sensitive about any refer ence to his unusual size. On one occasion w*hen he was visiting a friend at his home in a beautiful town in Connecticut the hostess and her daughter invited Mr. Fiske 1 to drive with them one morning. The road is a picturesque one, which winds along the river at the . foot of the mountains. At one point the hostess suggested that the party alight and walk a short distance through the field to get a particu larly attractive view. Around this field was a high fence with no open ing but a narrow stile. The ladies passed through and turned to wait for their guest. For a moment he contemplated the opening. To squeeze through was impossible; to elimb over was equally impractica- I ble. Finally his deep bass voice , broke the silence, “Ladies, I think we would better continue our drive.” Pretty Tough For the General. 1 A French general’s wife, whose tongue lashing ability was far 1 famed, demanded that an old serv ant, who had served with her hus band in the wars, be dismissed. “Jacques,” said the general, “go to your room and pack your trunk and leave—depart.” The old Frenchman clasped his : hands to his heart with dramatic joy. “Me—l can go!” he exclaimed in a very ecstasy of gratitude. Then suddenly his manner changed as with utmost compassion he added: “But you —my poor general, you must stay!” The Intellectual Age. The women of a certain town re -1 cently organized a literary club, and for awhile everything was lovely. “Alice,” asked the husband of one 1 of the members upon her return 1 home from one of the meetings, “what was the topic under discus ! sion by the club this afternoon ?” Alice couldn’t remember at first. Finally, however, she exclaimed: “Oh, yes. I recollect! We dis cussed that brazen looking woman that’s just moved in across the street and Longfellow.”—Harper’s Weekly. Dancing Birds. The giant cranes of India, some of which attain to a height of six feet, are in away queer birds. They mate for life and as mates are sin gularly devoted to each other. ' Among their practices that of danc ' ing together is the most remarka ble. To and fro and up and down beneath a scraggy tree near a creek or water hole a pair of these curious ( birds may be seen at the hour of dawn footing it gravely in a sort of grotesque minuet.

Prior to the pas ‘ sage of the Armstrong law, in 1906 the companies could write policies to the extent of their resources. The law limiting the growth oi insurance wealth was the out ' come of revelations made during the investigation, showing that ’ enormous insurance profits were ,1 source of danger. They were used to induce legislation and to ■■ ntrol other commercial acitvi ties. It was pointed out by far sighted calculators that in time. > at the old rate of accumulation.
