FARM NEWS
LIME CAMPAIGN
The results of the past years
point very definitely to the fact
that the soils of our county are
very short in lime. The use of lime
instead, of 16 per cent Acid in some
cases gave better results i than acid,
when placed under corn with the
planter. The stands of clover on
limed and unlim?d. ground are still
more marked, as 'clover must have
lime.
The. lack of lime shows in live
stock as hollow tale, (Rickets), and
all the crazy actions that go with
that disease. ' ?
Noting the above '/ results the
the County Agent is patting on a
lime campaign; hoping to pool the
orders of small users, so that all
may have a chance. For this drive
the Agent has been given a commis
sion f>t fiftey eents per ton which he
will turn to the fanner,
The prices -of, the ground and
burned' lime layed 'down at your sta
tion are as follows : 1

?Unslacked burned lime weighs 80
pounds per bushel, and 26 bushels
per ton. j
Fifty-six pounds burned lime
equals 100 pounds of ground.
One ton ground or twenty-five of

POST-OFFICE
MANAGEMENT
-a
R. L. Nicholson, postmaster, has <
received the following official order I
which he will be compelled to obey : j
"This . is the season of the year ,
when it is very important to ob- '
serve the existing rules, regulations
and directions' with reference to thfe
acceptance of bundles fpr transmis- j
sion in the mail to the end that they ;
are wrapped, and boxed in such se- :
cure manner as to render them
reasonably safe.
"You arc directed to 'give special
attention to this matter during this j
Christmas season and to refuse to ]
accept bundles so insecurely wrap- :
ped, or so improperly addressed
that you are reasonably certain they I
can not safely reach their destina
tion..
"The ? rule of reason is the only
one to apply to such cases, and as
the manager of the post-office, you '
are expected to apply this rule1
firmly and yet courteously, as it is
not. only in the interest of the gov
ernment but in the interest of each
mailer that you do so. Mailers do not
always understand how securely a
bundle should be wrapped, and it ia
ejxpected that you will give them
Ihis information. This applies par
ticularly to parcel post, and has
equal reference to mail insured or
not insured, although the insured
;s guaranteed by the government to
a certain extent, and it is more im
portant that you insist on not only
receiving this in good condition but
also on handling it safely and care- j
??fully after receiving it.
"You should manage the office
during this .rush season in such a
way as to reduce to a minimum the
amount of loss in the mails, as well
as facilitate its transmission
through the mails. Haste should
limit itself to safety and accuracy."

BAPTIST DEACON
BAGS BIG BUCK ,
ON SUNDAY MORN I

The many friends of Mr. Zeb
Osborne, a former resident of Bre
vard will be interested in reading
the following account of his experi
ence with a vicious deer
^This article is from' the Dail
Kr ,.Reg,on' a da'ly news paper
hUme ?'l0Se t0 Mr> 0sborne's
Zeb Osborne,, lover of the great
outdoors, deer and bear hunter, ex
traordinary, building contractor and
a deacon in the Baptist church at
Umatilla, killed hii first deer of the
season Sunday morning. There is
nothing unusual about Zeb killing n
deer, but when a dignitary of the
Umatilla Baptist church takes aim
down the barrel of a high powered
"fie and brings an eight point buck
to the ground on Sunday morning,
there is need for an explanation to
the members of the congregation
md the Baptist fraternity at large
md for the said explanation, we
eave it to the Baptists themselves
whether or no the editor should not
ae rewarded with a portion of veni
son'. _ ?
Last Sunday morning Zeb went I
Jut as usual to feed his pet buck]
leer which he had lately. Ipurchased ,
from a friend in North Florida. The |
auck evidently thought that he had
seen in captivity long enough, and I
vhen Zeb opened the gate to the en
:losure where th^uck and a doe
ire kept, in order to give the animals
i ration, the buck proceeded to run
)ver his owner and made his escape
; othe open street, whereupon Z4b I
:alled to his assistance Zeb, Jr., but
he buck quietly dispatched the lat
er to ? the garage for safekeeping, j
nuch to the amusement of Zeb, Sr? i 1
vho by this time had secured a club, j
vith which he " attempted to entice 1
he buck back into the pen.
But the buck had other intentions,
ind despite the fact that Zeb, Sr.,
vielded a wicked club with might
ind jnain,_the buck soon had him
lawn jn the. street' and wj^TTene win 8 j
he battle -with eight points okd a
harjff psrir of hoofi. At this jujtor.ture
5ebt Sr., grabbed the , buck's jThorns
md put the head of the infuriated 1
tnimal to the ground. <
For once in his life, Zeb, Sr., ap- 1
ireciated his extra avoirdupois, and 1
his fact alone probably paved him
rom being gored ? to i dk|M He ! ?
'filled 'to Zeb,; Jr., high i

THE CHILD IN THE MIDST
? !?' ' I
"And Jesus callca a little child
unto Him and set him in the midst
of them." Mat. 18^2
This is the month of the child a^d .
childhood, and Jesus bids us learfi of
them the many valuable lessons they
teach us. i .
"Their perfect faith and confi
dence fh those they love, their trust
in God, their natural simplicity and;
innocence, their love for the beauti- ?
ful and abhorrence for all that Is
ugly and unattractive ? these thing?
are the chief charms of childhood.",
"How careful we should be that'
any influence of ours should mar the
loveliness, or take from the trusHftfe
fulness of any child. While we are
daily .learning sweet lessons of them
let us strive to make Ourtselves '
worthy examples for them to fol- '
low."
"Childhood imitates readily; char
acter in the young is easily mould
ed, and we little think, perhaps, that
a careless word or deed of ours will
germinate in some tender heart
soil and spring up in a , few brief
years ? a harvest of wheat or tares.
Every first thing continues forever
with the child: the first color, thie
first music, the first flower paint the
the foreground of- its life. The first
inner or outer object of lovq, injus
tice, or such like throw? a shadow ; :>
immeasurably 'far along its after s '
years."
Happy the child who is suffered to
be and contented to b*C what Goa ?
means it to be ? a child while child
hood lasts. And happy, thrice happy,
i3 the man or woman who keeps the ??
spirit and heart of the child for they
shall find the fulness of the Divine <
Presence where alone it is to , be
found, in loving obedience.
A PRAYER FOR CHILDLIKENESS
Our . Blessed Lord and Master, we (
thank Thee for the child in the \
midst, especially.- at this time, and
the valuable lessons it teaches us.
Help us to learn from children their'
perfect faith and confidence in those
they love, their trust in God, their i
natural simplicity and innocence,,
their purity and guilelessness of
heart, their love for the beautiful,.''
and abhorrence for all that io* ugly
and unattractive, for in these things ~
are the chief charms of childhood.
Give to us, we beseech Thee, Our
Father, God: the childlike spirit.
Preserve in us the graces of trust
and loveliness. Give us the child's
love, the child's sensitiveness, the
[child's expectant wonder. In tie
spirit of childlikeness may we find'
the secret treasures of Thy Grace,
for -the little child enshrines the
secret of the Godman, and we shall /
bo infinitely wise if we have the
little child always in c\,ur : midst ? for
childlikeness is the open door unto ?
glory after glory in the unsearch
able Riches of Christ.
For His sake we ask it, Amen.
