The knives were sharp and peeping through \ convenient crack, I could see one or twto cut fingers from which the blood flowed freely. “Gramma!” said the other litlc fellow promptly and positively. The neighbor child nodded understendtngly. “I guess she will do,it up,” be aeid in the tone of one. who had a knowledge of grand, mas. “*Oour*e? ’n' she tan say: ‘Too bad 'thout having to ask a lot o’ ques tions.” ‘ f * It was a most instructive little les. son in the fine art* of giving sym pathy. What is really welcome is the quiet unobtrusive balm of common kind ! ! By Mrs. Madge Webb Riley. Phone 30. ness. In pin in unfigurativo language, the one thin# needed most by every body isn't ft planned and scheduled alms of sympathy, but rather the gen tle dole of daily kindness. The sym pathy that asks no questions is es pecially welcome when the trouble concerns other people. Not all sorrow is so simple as to be gabbled out on the highway and byway. There is business perplexity mixed up with it, or there are family worries and se crets; in this present evil vforld there is often the shadow of disgrace. Wel come the dumb, deaf, blind, incurious sympathizer! Cecelia Music > Club Meets. ~ ”**' Miss Kerlly* Bostick will pntertain the Cecelia Music club on Thursday afternoon Muy 8th at 4 o’clock.

Each spring I plant n lot of seeds and say: “This year I’ll try To have the nicest garden that man did ever spy.” The sun and rains come to my aid and help the scheme along. “Dame nature—say the seed man’s books Gives forth her sweetest song.”'* As Time moves on there peeps abovt the ground bright bits of greer My radishes and lettuce, plants, the best I’ve ever seen. Then sprout a thousand other things not from my little seeds. But just a lot of nasty trash we desig nate as weeds. Now, if I’d keep the garden sass frotr being crowded out, I have to dig and pull and hoe, anc haul those weeds about; Each day a new crop always grow. no matter how I try, I Cannot seem to kill them out, th« blamed things will not die. Each life to me is quite the same— a garden spot wherein our virtues an the things worth while; the weeds are vice and sin. But, golden harvest; may be gained by those who strive t( sow the seeds of love and sunshine in places where they’ll grow. • . LET ME PAINT your house. I am work ing in Cleveland county now.

Blalock Grows Cow Peas For 17 Years (Extension Service) Mr. T. D. Blalock of the Bethlehem section of the county has been grow ing the Whippoorwill 17 years from the same strain of peas he started. „ Mr. Blalock was induced last spring to conduct a demonstration with the Groit and his Whippoorwill peas to determine which would produce the most' peas per acre. The peas were given the same fertiliser and culti vation. The Groit cowpeas made three and two thirds more bushels per acre than Mr. Blulock’s Whippoorwill peas. Counting the peas at three dol lars per bushel the Groits made him j a profit of $11.00 more per acre than | the Whippoorwill, and goes to prove j that good seed un<| the best variety pays. Mr. Blalock says, “ The Groit cew- j peas for me and I expect to plant my i entire crop with them aext year-." Mr. Blalock is like other food pro- I gressive farmers in Cleveland coun- | ty. When he gets a good thing he i sticks to it which he has ’done to ♦ he Whippoorwill cowpeas for seven- ' teen years, but he is open minded and when ho is convinced that something else is better he is ready to change. The Groit cowpeas have proven to be the best cowpeas in every demon stration conducted in the- county.
