Die Amy’s fi^iter planes are the
finest in the world and develop
apeeds up to 400 miles an hour.
Diey cost approximately $100,000
each, provide fighter escorts for the
.huge flying fortresses, and combine
ispeed, range, altitude and blistering
'fiiie power.
America’s plane production plants
are working over-time, turning out
thousands of these fighter planes.
War Savings Bonds will help pay
for them and the American people
are committed to at least ten per
cent of their income to finance their
cost in War Bonds. Every Ameri
can, buying his share every pay day,
wUl make it comparatively easy to
supply our army and navy air corps
.with these supreme Eagles of the air.
POOLE’S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT POOLE
It has been years since Ve had an
oldtime rainy spell, but for some days
showers came, and plants have grown
well. It is a delight to hoe out nox
ious weeds which rob your plants of
fertility in the soil, and grow much
faster than those plants you want to
grow for food.
You cannot crowd the season. Corn
planted on March 20th isn’t any
larger than that planted on April
15th, fertilized just alike, and six
weeks iieas in the first part of the
year are ten weeks peas, and this
spring more poor stands have eome
up of everything than I remember
seeing since last year.
Mine is not a victory garden sp
far, nor are any of my truck. I hope
to have some “green com on a plate”
the latter part of June, but the crop is
not great prospect for a good yield,
and six weeks peas are the poorest
.stand I have ever seen.
The richest land in America, I sup
pose, are the islands, the Delta land
near the mouth of the Mississippi
river below New Orleans. The mouth
of the River Nile is another rich
delta region. The flooding of the
country occasiohally along these two,
and otter rivers, enriches the lands
carried from farms, as from ours,
A May 12tt, 1879.
I had hopes in 1879 of making the
largest com crop on Drowning Creek,
but tor acres of oim best com was
washed out of the field and my hopes
with it. I have had many disappoint
ments in life, but I am determined
not tp let disappointments knock n\p
out of a good time.
I once thought that if people had
moifey, they could have enjoyment,
because they could have anything they
wanted; but some of the sadest lives
often are those who do not lack earth
ly riches. Knowing how to spend
what you have, much or little, to the
best advantage, is scientific living.
I sometimes think I have been very
fortunate. I have never known pov
erty nor riches. I have never known
what success in business really means,
and still I have ha'd all I could con
sume of the best the world has had
to give; and fun? I have had lots of
it. And will have lots more, if I live.
Making the most of what you have,
and enjoying it meantime, is the true
philosophy of life. When I was young,
I carried my earthly possessions in
my pockets, and my friends got as
much af it as I did—sometimes more
at least some of them had it longer.
Of all the foolish things I have
done is using tobacco. I told my
children, and all other children ii)
my schools, to never get the habit—
never allow a viscious, or harmful
habit control them, and I think many
acted on the suggestion. There is a
kind of enjoyment in a smoke, or
chew, but ydu would have as much
pleasure without either.
power is very great, but they think
there is glory in dying for their coun
try. Poor foolish folks.
Four more divisions of infantry (60
to 75 thousand men) are to be formed
and trained, the papers stated last
Friday, but I do not see much in
fantry can do with tanks and bomb
ers. Reckon they guard prisoners.

On the 12th day of May, 1879, I
saw the only cloudburst, or tte near-
«st a clou^urst I ever saw. Rain
fell in totrents for three hours, and
plowed fields were carried away to
tte Atlantic ocean, or out of our]
fl»ch. 'That is evolution. When
tte rains wash away the hills, carry
tte soil to the ocean, and build an
island of alluvial Uind. Rich land,
too.
You have beard “Law is common
sense,” and if you notice, it is. The
constitgtion put on statute are often
misleadifig. In the first place, every
citizen ttould behave. You know
what that means—^you have been told
to behave often enough to have learn
ed, and when anyone misbehaves, he
is vkriating the law—some law.

of God, the^ible, and salvation. They
are exclaiming, “Well such and such
a way seems logical to me.” God
wishes to reason with men about their
sins and His pll comprehensive pro
vision Christ Jesus. ^ Sinful ' men
choose to expound their own home-
spun theofies than to recognize a
“thus saith the Lord.”
The Bible is either so or it isn’t so.
It claims to speak with divine^author-
ity. Don’t speak of the ethics of the
Bible and in the same breath you
deny its divine origin. The Bible
stiffly condemns the sins „ and evil
motive^ of man and imposes upon
the human race the highest ethics ever
-conceived. We must not forget, how
ever, that this same Book emphati
cally claims to be the word of Al
mighty God. If it isn’t then it is
the greatest contradiction ever palm
ed off in the name of common sense.
