An interesting experiment has been under way for some time ?n Amenia. a small town of Dutchess county, New York, in tended te promote recreation and sociability. It Is designated as the Amen la field day, and began hint, year with a large attendance which this year was rnuch great nr. Its cotiscious purpose is to dd enjoyment to country life by means of co operative games and amusements, to some extent tak ing the place of the old country fair, which had become commer ciahzed, and given over to vul var aide shows. On the program . was printed the following. 1. You have got to make the country as attractive socially as the citv if rou want to keep the younx folks on the farms. a. There is a good dal of work in the country, but most of out- boys and girls have forgot ,8P. how to play. 8. liaseball Is a splendid irmo. hut it isn't the only one. Every healthy boy should be In toasted in at least half a dozen otlvers. Don't merely watch ot hers nlav tcames; play them yourself! 4. You can't drink strong drink and be an athlete. Get vcur boys interested in honest. find healthy sports, and save them from drink and dissipation 5. Contests and competitions are not the main thing. "The strong compete and grow 6trong er; the weak look on and grow weaker." The main thing is play. Learn the great lesson that play is just as necessary for your son as work. fi. T h e community should help to run its own recreations Its festivals should be not only for the people, but of and by the people. There is a whole lot of good ;3onse In those six statements, and the sooner the country towns evervwhere find it oat, and net on it the better it will be for them. Others in the neighbor hood of Amenia have already learned the lesson, and begun to atart field days. It would be a good plan to have one once a month right through the year, varying recreations somewhat according to the season. Our people work too hard, don't have play enough and don't have fun enough when they do play. It is not neces sary to exactly copy Amenia, but their plan for a day seems a good one. 'They had a parade in the morning, with prizes for the best decorated farm wagon, carriage and automobile; then there was a picnic luncheon, and afterward dancing, athletic games and vari ed entertainment in a large tent, 'finishing with' a baseball game and fireworks. If country young people were to have something of that sort every once in awhile they would not be so anxious to go off to the city. . 1 , 7 Typhoid Germs! The outhouses should all be cleaned and purified in order that the people may be protect ed. While we. speak of others perhaps we may bo just as guilty ourselves but there are public nuisances that should be stop ped, . ., The closet on tf?b public square very bad indeed and needs public fiscal ization.

It is worth while to reflect that when Jesus commissioned his disciples to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," he imposed a duty which, to the men and women of that day, with their primitive methods of travel and with no facilities for printing and circulating books, must have been considered well nigh im possible; yet In less than 2,000 years we find the command to be little short of fulfillment and the work is going on with greater activity and with greater suc cess than ever before. There can be no question that it is to the art of printing the world is indebted for this won derful accomplishment primarily and to less degree only to the American Bible society, which has undertaken the work of sup plying a Bible to every human being on earth. How well this work is being done is made plain by the report of the society showing its operations during the past year. During the year 1911 the is sues of this society at home and abroad totaled 8,602,201 volumes These issues consisted of 430,098 Bibles, 670,728 Testaments and 2.590.375 portions of the Go. pels. Bible House In New York and 1,853,845 volumes by the society's agents abroad, being printed on mission and other presses in Turkey, Syria, Siam, China and Japan. The total is sue of the society in the 90 years of its existence amounts to 94, 219,105 volumes. The record for the society for the year 1911 also includes seve ral publicans cf a character nev er attempted before. Among these is the Ibnag New Testa ment printed in dialet for use in the Philippines.. The Old Testa ment has also been brought out in Panayan, another Philippine dialect, and the revision of the Tagalog New Testament is and er way. The Pentateuch, in Pampangan, has been completed, and Is now ready to be printed and the book of Acts has been added to the other books which have been translated into Kur dish. A revised Bible is being printed in the Japanese language and also in two additional Chi nese dialects. A former trans lation of the Bible Into Siamese is being revised and the Zala version is nearing completion.: During the year for which the report was made, the society employed no less than 1,200 per sons to carry on the work of distributing, 825 of whom were employed in foreign countries,, the remainder working in the United States.; During 1911 646,825 copies of the Bible were distributed in this country alone. Among all the books which have been printed, the Bible has had no competitor in the matter of distribution. Nearly 2,000 years have passed since the lat est period covered by the New Testament, and the old book is more greately read and more sought after than at any other stage of the world's history. Indian Killed on Track Near Kochelie, , III., an ' Indian went to sleep on a railroad track and was killed by the fast express. He paid for his carelosness with his life.

The authorities of the Lacka wanna railroad, after investigat. ing the cause of the dreadful wreck at Corning,' N. Y., last week, hiy the whole blame on the engineer of the express that ran into another train. Ho was not fatigued, as ho had been on duty only an hour, and ho ran by three signals in succession set against him. The general traffic manager says: "'It makes no difference how ' perfect the mechauical department of a rail road may be, or how strict may be the rules and regulations for the guidance of the men, it is impossible to get away from the fact that 'in the end we are oblig ed to depend on the brain of the enarineer in the cab." It is so in all lines. Mechanism and sya tern and methods may be ever so automatic and perfect; but at some point everything depends on some human brain, and if this iroes wroner or is neglectful or i attentive, all eoes wrong and the most disastrous consequences may follow. Dependable men, men of the utmost care and cau tion and conscience, are the in creasing demand of our increas ingly complex civilization. Cha ractar is the root of such men, and character has its roots in moral and spiritual principles and training. Herald. Uay fever and asthma make August a month of intense suffering to many people. Foley's Honey snd Tar Com pound gives prompt case and relief, and is soothing and healing to the in flamed membranes. Wm. M. Mere thow, N. Searsport, Me., says: "A few doses of Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound relieved me of a severe attack of asthma and less than a bottle caus ed a complete cure." Refuse substi tutes. I. E. Hurnett, Mars Hill N. C. Evangelistic Services As announced last week Rev. Donald Grant has been conduct ing services this week at the Presbyteriai Church. The au diences have been increasing every evening and the singing has been fine. The sermons both morning and evening have been such as touched the hearts of every one who has heard them. We trust every one who can may hear this servant k of God who comes to us so richly endowed to give the message. The two fine series of meetings already held in the Methodist and Baptist Churches have been wonderful blessings to all and we are sure God has many more whom he would call. May every one seek to hear this messenger and hearing we are sure they will be blessed. Let every one come out. Ser vices will be continued after Sun day and may the outpouring of the blessing be for every one, converted and unconverted. Are Ever at War.

A letter From Aakansas. Ilerpel Ark., July 30, 1912. Dear Editor I will try and tell something about this country I had better introduce myself I am one of Jesse Plemmons, daught ers I was raised on Spring Creek N. C. near Trust post office my husband and I come to Ark., June 14, 1911. Wo live on one of Uncle Sams homestead we like here O. K. there Is lots of ' land to take up in Ark., yet but not any close to us except a few 40 and 60 acre tracts. This country makes very good crops if it rains enough, this country is hilly and the land is gravelly. Water is scarce in these hills some people carry it a quarter to 1-2 mile unless they dig for water, there is lots of caves here that has water in them, I was in one, we went part of the way in a boat. This is a good place for a woman or man that hasn't any home, as land here isn't as high as it is there. People has chills here soon get better with them they with the right kind of medicin . Crops are good but are need ing rain. There are several fish here in the creek and river, we live about 3 quarters of a mile from the creek. There are three families of Madison County people and seve ral families of other counties of North Carolina here. At two schools here last year twe girls that was brought from North Carolina won, the prizes people or not ' learned in book knowledge here, as there schools is too short. There was a boy drowned in White river about 4 miles from here about ten days ago, that makes 5 deaths by being drown ed in White river since the 4th, of July, Cattle has begun to die here, people don't have the good luck th6 people of Madison County has with cattle, they have the Texas fever. Stores are unhandy from 8 to 8 miles to a store. I don't suppose any one ever forgets their old home, Well people all over the world are hunting for that good place and when you get there it is just a little, farther on, people here leave and go to Texas, some to Flordia and 8. C. my advice is when a man has a good home all hit own to stay with it. They can leave and go where they please but we have a home or soon will have and we aim to stay with it unless sickness pre vents, ..'"'' . Fruit crops are good here this year trees are breaking with fruit. We have a court house and jail here but no one don't stay in jail long, the jail is built out of stone. Mrs. Van Brown has my heart felt sympathy over the death of her son so far from her home, I was well acquainted with him he was a good neighbor also his wife I've lived by them. EVA GREGG.
