oligarchy of the German nation,
denouncing in no uncertain
terms their misdeeds from the
time that Caesar stabbed Brutus
to the day that Waterloo met
Napoleon on the plains of the
Buck Island hills. He praised
in eulogistic language the brave
ry and greatness of the people
of "Bellum," closing his re
marks by a graphic description
of how these gallant "Bellums"
slow the entire German army
before breakfast. After a few
patriotic songs rendered by
Messrs. A. W. Davis, Paul
I George and others a decision
[ was reached that the town of
Walnut Cove should maintain its
neutrality in the pending hosti
lities, the chickens began to an
nounce the coming of dawn and
the members dispersed instilled
with an undying patriotism.

Miscalculated
The test of the value of a prop
hency lies in its fulfilment.
Valtaire predicted that less than
a century after his time the
Bible would be practically un
known. To-day, it is printed in
600 languages and read through
out the world. Diocletian, the
monster, after his long and bloody
carnival of martyrdom, imagined
he had annihilated the Christian
faith, and vaingloriously issued
a medal commemorating the
event. To-day, there are nearly
i 500,000,C00 of Christians cn
globe, while Diocletian is well
: nigh forgotten. It is to remember
j these facts at a time when we
hear the would-be prophets of
.our day fulminating against
■ Christianity.—Christian Hearld.

GOSSIPER.
Are you In It?
!
It is a deadful thing that the
' word "society" in the worldly!
: fashionable sense has come to
| mean exclusiveness. It means
i thata small circle of prosperous
i peoplelhave shut themselves away
i from real social fellowship. In fact
j many of those who reign in so
' called "society" have made their
j way to this high place of ex
|clusiveness by treading on the
i rights of others. They have
: fought their way, or some one
I else has fought the way for them,
! at the expense of others into this
exclusive circle. It is a worse
than foolish thing to have ambi
tions to get into society in this
sense. To get into society in
this way and in this spirit is to
get out of society in the sense
that Jesus interprets society and
in the sense in which he wants
lus to be truly social.—The
Christian Hearld.

The Germination of
Crimson Clover Seed.
Since November 1. 1013, there
have been imported into the
United States 3.329,883 pounds
of crimson clover seed. This
seed comes mostly from France
and Austiia, whore the harvest
season is practic illy the same as
in this county. The t : me for
seeding folio A-S the harvest
season so closely that only a part
of the imported seed is received
in time to be sown the year it is
raised. If the conditions of
storage are not the best the seed
may bse materially in vitality
between the time of harvest
and that o( seeding the next
year.
New seed of good quality is
free from any brownish color,
but old seed shows varying de
grees of brown according to age
and conditions under which it
has been stored. The brownish
color is an indication of poor
germination—the darker the color
the poorer the germination before
sowing, an 1 no bro .vn seed
should he used unless a germina
tion test shows it will grow well.
Germination test of the 119
lots of crimson clover seed im
ported in the last eight months
show an average of 80 per cent
of live seeds. The germ : nation
varied from 40 per cent for the
poorest lot to 97 per cent for the
best lot. As crimson clover seed
loses its vitality rapidly, and as
practically all the imported seed
is 1 year old before seeding, an
effort should be made to save
domestic seed wherever possible.
This is a specially true of seed
for local or home use, where it
can be seeded without thrashing
i or cleaning.
