lin ....... aataial qrde The year IMS ought to be * good year (or red clover la New tSagUnd. The winter hu been tke Bolt severe la rearm. Com - paratively few of tke little animals of the fields aad wooda survive a winter when the craat of tke now ie fro sen hard. There will bo fewer fleld-miee to rob the bum Mo-beae' aeata in the spriag. More bumble-bees will come to matar Ity aad seek honey from the red clover-bloeaoau. The clover crop will tbaa be thoroughly polleulzed, aad the red clover seeds will be fertile. That will nuke for a good red clover crop ia IMS. To me tkis example of the cycle ?f life, first pointed oat by Charles Darwin, has always seemed one of tke most Interesting of all aatural phenomena. I thiak tkat many wall-meant efforts to disturb Na ture's ordinary coarse are calcu lated to do more harm than good to I world that has adjusted Itself to the normal cycle. ? ? ? TEETH bow and tbea Tooth decay baa little to do With tooth cleanlineaa or the lack of It, according to the Britlah Med ical Research Council, which hia been digging deep into the sub ject. What makes children'! teeth decay is not enough sunshine, too high a percentage of cereal foods, not enough meat, eggs, milk, cheeae, fats and freah vegetables in the diet, these medical men say. The whitest and soundest teeth ?re found among savage and half civilized people who live largely out of doors and eat whatever they can And that is edible. In my boyhood toothbrushes were Juat beginning to cone Into general use and not more than one or two dentifdices were ad vertiser. Most folks never brush ed their teeth at all, yet the hu man race bad survived for a good many thousand, perhaps millions, of years. Clean, white teeth are desirable, bat nothing to worry about if one doesn't have them. ? IX t MONSTER** . . . mm have seea The amount of evidence that aome strange sea-monater lives in a Scottish loch, and the many re ports of a seaserpent seen in Van couver Sound, have encouraged many folk to tell of strange thing* they have seen at sea, about which they had kept quiet for fear of being ridiculed. O Ulcers of the Mauretania saw a seaserpent ofl a recent Carib bean cruise, and drew a picture of It in the ship's log. Now the Rev. 1. E. Rockllff, who la a sort of traveling missionary to seamen and voyages some 60.004 miles every year, tells of seeing a yel low serpent about sixty feet long in mid-Pacific two years ago. It aeems to me that we are on the verge of demonstrating once more that there Is more to an cient beliefs than a skeptical mod ern age has been willing to be lieve. Ill POEM . . . O'Hara mjiatnplne Theodore O'Hara wrote one of the world'* greatest poems mort than 75 years ago. It la "The Bivouac of the Dead," and when Arlington National Cemetery wa* established, after the Civil War, atanzaa from this great poem were Inscribed on stone tablets and set up In different parts of the field. The Fine Arts Commisaion de cided that the ancient stones, be fore which millions of Americans i have paused to read O'Hare's thrilling lines, were not artistic, I and ordered them removed. Such ? protest was made, however, that It has been decided to Inscribe the whole poem on the walls of the amphitheater. On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread. And Olory guards, with solemn round, The Bivouac of the Dead. I know of few finer lines in En glish poetry than those and the rest of O'Hara's verses. * xtt POKER . . and personal right* The great American card game, ao far as men are concerned, la not contract bridge but poker. In a good many states there are laws against playing poker, also against playing marbles "for keeps" and anything else that can be constru ed as gambling. These laws are aeldom invoked except when some body In authority wants to make trouble for somebody else. Representative Parker of Geor gia bad a candidate for postmas ter of his home town. His politi cal opponents brought before the Sonate evidence that the Congress man's choice had once been ar rested In a raid on a poker gam 4, Indicted and fined. Mr. Parker cheerfully admitted that was true. He had sat la the sane poker gams himself and had also been ftiTWtsd and fined! If It dldut lobar him from later going to Congress, It ought not to debar hi* man from the postmastershlp. Ths Senate confirmed the sppolnt msnt with glee. Few take ssrloully anr sort of laws that rsstrlct ths right of Us Individual to do what ho likes, so loag as ha dossn't Infringe oa ths rights 0f otkera. ? SERMON T0PI08 ' ? ?????????? tft. fAPLI TMOOTAli CHURCH (Br K*r. Frank E. Paliey ) "And they come. brli(ii| unto him a man. . .... borne of (oar.** Mark 2:>. Four men. whose namea are not given la the (Soapel, had a friend vlth a bodily ailment. Hearing of a mysterious Healer, they de cided to take their friend to see what Ha coald do. Toa remem ber the story, how when they reached the town of Capernanm where Jeans vaa, they had to tear open the thatched -erase roof and let the man down Into the' room, so many people crowded all the other entrances. J All man ahonld hare a name. When we pray we say "Hallowed be Ty name." When we bap tise. we aay, "Name this . child." The Proverbs aineats: "A good name la rather to be chosen than richee." So we have named the Irst of these men "Faith." He It was who thought up the trip. He "knew" that if they could rtach Christ their friend would be re stored. He waa prepared to walk by faith If not by eight. The N. C. weekly magazine. "The State", tells of a man riding along the highway la hie automobile and noticing a large, dark shadow over him. - For a moment be was puzzled, bat (topping his car, and getting oat, he was able to see directly overhead an airplane fly ing. He saw when he placed himself In a position to see. While he was closed -up in his car and moving be could see only Imper fectly. The season we call Lent offers us panae, a slight lessening of the speed with which we are travelling. A time to j"so a lit tle way apart" and ffN again our. markers of faith, our ancient t niirhar nn*> The second man vaa named I "hope", - who wahted to pal "Faith's" Idea into practice. "Now, Lord, what wait I (or? My hope is In Thee." He waa courageous and cheerful. Through faith we see that we are all parts of the Universe, and that the Universe is a part- of Ood. Therefore we are sons and co-workers with God, baring a Divine Natnre. Hope and faitb together helps us to say with Dr. Joseph Fort Newton "Life begins when yon have a world fit to lire In. a self fit to live with, a work flt to lire for, and a faith fit to live by." Life, to have value, most have dignity. There can be a dignity In poverty, bat there can be no dignity in uselessnesa. We must And again the purpose of Ood, because the dignity and value of man rests upon the reality of Ood. Man is Interested only in the things we create without hands or brains. But God is interested in all men, believes In all men. has work for all men. There are no idlera in His kingdom; no hopelessness such as we see in the world of men. The third man of the quartet taking their friend to Christ was named "Humility." "We may say much, yet not attain; and the sum of our words is. He is all." He knew God was King, not man. God waa not an aaslft ant to man's purpose, so much as man la an assistant to Ood'a plan for the universe. We can not see the full greatness, or the great fullness of God, by think ing of Him only as someone to call upon In need. When we are humble enough we are able to see that we are destined to be come conformed to the Image of Jesus Christ, unto the measure and fullness of a perfect man Our levels are lower than tbat; we must reach upwards for a higher level upon which to live. The fourth man was "Persever ance." He endured to the end, undismayed by shaking of reeds In the wind. He knew that God'i purpose standeth sure. And tbat "nearer and nearer draws the time. The time that shall surely be. When the earth shall be filled with the glory of Ood, As the waters cover the sea." Amen. ^ "THEIRS NOT TO REASON WHY" -ifyMben T.rm Make Farm Plant According To Needs Grower* who have signed cot ton or tobacco redaction contracts will And It helpful to plan syste matically for the beat use of the acreage rented to the government, says Charles A. Sheffield, assistant extension director at N. C. State College. One of the best wars to go abont the planning is to prepare a table showing how many persons and head of livestock are to be fed on the farm and the amount of food and feed crops each wili need. The total amount of such crops needed can then be compared with a list of all crops grown on the farm lost year. If the farmer has not been growing enough of the necessary crops, he has fig ures to show just what additional foods and feeds he needs to pro duce. 8lnce he ninst not Increase the total amount of crops that he has been producing, the grower may Bnd it convenient to reduce a crop of which he has been growing too much, so that he can lncreaae an Docfors Give Creosote For.
