FAMILY REUNION
It Mght Hve Been.
A j great surgeon stood in deep
thought before his class. He had
performed an unusually serious op
eration. He had done his part with
rare skill and with intimate know
ledge of modern "science. Turning
to his class, he said Two years ago
this disease could easily have been
cured. Six years ago a wise way
of life might have prevented it. I
have one my best. Human hands
can do little more. But natiim will
have her word to say. Her laws
eannot be violated for any length of
time without serious consequences."
ThaKsurgeon did not possibly mean
to deliver a sermonette but he did,
and all of us can read the larger ap
plication of his sober words. There
are habits that could easily be bro
ken if taken early. But too often
.we are willing to believe that they
shall ever become masters of us. We
toy with them. They please, and
carry, in the course of their repeti
tion, a measure of gratification.
Weeks run inter months, and months
into years; and at last we wake up
to the fact that we are slaves. We
are being driven like dumb animals
before the lash of habits that once
could have been conquered by an act
of the will, but now, nature has hei
way and we are the victims of our
false- thinking. The time to end a
wroner habit is before we begin it

this earth to a better land of rest
about twelve years ago.
One hundred and twenty-nine

with kinsfolks. Mrs- Kinton is only
78 years young; she was able to meet
the cars and greet her loved ones
as they came.
Those present were her daughters

Morning exercises wrere conducted
by Rev. J. D. Hart. Bible reading
Joshua, 1 chapter and talk by Mr.
Hart. Several favorite old time
Hymns were sung. Miss Mattie Lou
Sizemore who has just completed
her education for a missionary in
some foreign field told us of the
beautiful work she has been called
to do and of the need for many more;
she is a niece of Mrs. Kinton and ex
pects to sail next summer; we wish
her the very best success possible;
solo by Mr. Garland Ragland; pray
er; after Hymn "May The Circle Be
Unbroken In the Skies."
All were envited to spread the con
tents of their haskets on the table
under the shade of "Ye Old Oak
Tree," where a umptious dinner
was enjoyed. All were filled, lots
was left; on one end of the table sat
a large tub of lemonade; later ice
cream was served.
Everybody had a good time; we
like so much for kindred to get to
gether like this for a day; we hope
this food old lady will live to see i
many more such reunions
We were much grieved that Dr
Marsh who was her pastor for many
years, was unable to be present, al
though glad to know at this writing
he is still improving. M-
Harvard Library Visited
(News Letter) .
One of the libraries officially vis-
ited by all the librarians at the
iSwampscott meeting was that of
Harvard University, housed in the
Harry Elkins Widener Memorial
building completed in 1915." Young
Widener, who was a collector of rare
editions 'in the field of English lit
erature, lost his life on the fateful
Titanic and the building, which con
tains the collection assembled by him
and now preserved in the famous
widener room, was erected in his
memory by his mother. It also con
tains the College library, founded in
1638, of 1,094,200 volumes, and its
administration is combined with that
of eleven distinctive departmental
libraries and thirty-one special libra
ries housed in other buildings.- The
total collection, as analyzed in a re
cent handbook issued by the Uni
versity, is as follows:

A Hopeful Sign.
Two years ago we called the atten
tion of our readers to the fact that
pork exports are one of the best bar
ometers of corn belt prosperity We
also stated that pork exports at that
time were two or three times the
prewar normal, and that a serious
decline in volume of pork exports
was inevitable and this decline
I Tvn'uld hp. accompanied by a period of
corn belt depression.
The 'decline i npork exports has
! come and noy-- -we seeny'to be again
' on the up-grade. Germany perticu
;laiiy has come into the market for,
i lard- For the fiscal year of 1921
' she has imported approximately
220.000,000 pounds of lard, which
! compares with a pre-war normalof
; 3 50,000,00,0 pounds. Two years ago
J Germany imported only 25 pounds
j of lard direct from the United States,
j and laet year she imported only one-
sixth as much as she is importing
! this year. The re-entry of Germany
into the lard market is one of the
most encouraging signs of the timc
from the standpoint of the corn
belt farmer. v
Italy also has come into-therlprrt
! market during the past 37ear with
! more than her pre-war strength. She
lillj ! has'impred a total of .approximate
ly i ly 110.000.000 pounds of lard from
m the United States during the fiscal
H year of 1921. which compares with a
Wm , pre-war normal of 6,00.0.000 pounds.
Great Britain during the past year
' has been importing only her pre-war
IB ! normal of around - 165,000.000
HH i pounds of flard. Ther are ster
HH now that the coal miners' strike is
ml settled, however, that Great Brjtiln
! will.be importing lard in larerer
gig ! quantities.
HH i It is becoming increasingly evi
dent that the European hog under
popt-war conditions can not compete
with the American hog as a producer
f lard. The European grown grains
are too hi eh in price to be turned
economically into lard, and the im
ported grains are too high in price
on account of high ocean freights.
Aside from the tropical oils.Ameri
can.lard at the prersent time seems
to have very) little competition in the
European market.

THE FORD SEDAN
The Ford Sedan with electric starting and
lighting system and demountable rims with 3
inch tires all around, f or.fevery day in the-year has
no equal as a family car. Just as popular on the
farm as it is in the city. In facts, it fits the fam
ily demands in every vocation of life. Large roomy
seats, finely' upholstered, Dlate-glass windows,
make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in
rainy and inclement weather it becomes a closed
car, dust-proof and rain-proof . IJ is ideal for
social functions, the theatre, or parties; carrying
the children to school, or for touring. It isnot
only comfortable, but really cozy, and above all,
econmical in operation and maintenance, and has
all the Ford merits of strength and durability.
We solicit your order for one. Come in and see
it. , ' - ' . ;
