It's The People You Miss Who Matter The Most • By Rev. Chas. II. Dickey.) It is the people you misr, who Uatter most. Those you would not Bliss do not make so very much dif ference after all. About any com munity there are those who. If they should go away, would be dreadful ly missed. It Is these that count. Here where I live the community Is made up of any number and va riety of human beings. The people differ little, I should think, from the people In any other small town. Vxcept In this point; we are blessed In not having a pronounced riff raff class. There Is no underworld element. There Is no segregated area. It Is a democratic community where the only thing that really counts Is being on the level. And while there are some people who make no contribution at all to the totality of the community’s achieve ment. there are any number who are necessary to the community lire. There are the people who could be missed—dreadfully missed If they should go away. Some of them are children. One can’t Imagine what life would be without these little citizens who sweeten up the general life and lend luster to the round of existence. A childless world would be unbearable Some of them would be missed, and because this is true, they are the people who matter. There, for Instance, is little Sara Cone. Now Sara Is my neighbor. She lives Just across the street. She is vivacious and sprightly and leaves her Impress upon the whole neigh borhood. She darts in and out of the homes along the street and brightens up the whole neighbor hood with her goings-on. Often she comes in to our home to play with the baby or bring a bunch of flow ers. And when she is gone, one has the feeling that a fragrant April wind has Just blown in at the win dow. and passed on. One day not long ago she was livening up the neighborhood with her usual round of girlish activities her off to the hospital. We didn't know how much we loved and mlss and the very next day they took ed her until they too', her off. Th# immediate community on our titreet wasn’t the same anymore; some thing was missing; Sara wasn't here. She's back at home now and on the Job again. But a number of us have realized in a very personal way how much a child means to us, when she happens to be * very sweet child and lndispenstble to her friends. In thinking of the people In our town who would be missed, 1 can think of any number of child ren—fine boys and girls that we couldn’t do without. It Is such folk that really matter. Old Mose died the other day. It was a community loss when he went on. He had lived here a my long time. He was an old colored man of the better variety. He had manag ed to make himself essential to any number of people. He seemed to "belong.” He was Janitor down at the Methodist church, and in addi tion did any number of odd Jobs for the "white folk" about town. I was down at the white Metho dist church one night when the preacher called on old Mose to lead in prayer. There was a large con gregation of people present and when the preacher wanted the peo ple "lifted up” it was his practice to ask Mose to do it. He did. I sat in the group that night with closed eyes and bowed head while the old colored man talked to God. I heard hia words and felt the power of his simple petition. In a life time I have heard few nobler efforts. Ho seemed unconscious of anything at the time except his prayer. As he moved on into its depths the sweep of his soul seemed to gathe- mo mentum. The old colored man had our hearts and was bearing them tip to God. I shall be a very long time in forgetting the Impression it made on my heart that night. One time a man in our commum ty was in trouble. A matter oi &»< av importance was weighing upon him. He had wrestled with his difficulty and tried everything then made up his mind to try prayer. He was tell ing me that there were two men in town he wanted to pray with him. One of them was one of the local ministers. The other was old Mose I though it was a powerful tribute to the old darkey that this man honored him by naming him as one of the two men in the town to whom he could confidently turn in his dark moment. We all miss old Mose. The town isnt quite the same w ithout him. And they say it's Uv people we miss that matter. Southern women have long been supposed to have a great deal of charm. Some of them have it in a rarer degree than others. One such woman of our community was Mrs. Lucy Biggs. We called her “Miss Lucy.” She had a way about her. She was always turning up at the right moment. She had a way of not forgetting when others did She knew when to, and when not to. She never intruded; she didn't show curiosity. She was master of her ’oul and monarch of all she Survey ed. Our little town is filled up with: good women. They look well and j dress well and very many of them have the charms and manner that we expect of Southern women. But they themselves would be the first to say that “Miss Lucy" was with out a peer. She knew her amenities Rhe somehow’ rarlfled the atmos phere of the entire community. E-r presence was a sort of call to dec ency. Her Influence was positively on the side of such things as were a good report. Her smile and per fect poise were contagious. Her laugh did good like a medicine. Her charm simply radiated itself off In great waves. Then, Bhe moved array! If it Is really the people we miss who mat ter moot, then, she matters. Nearly everybody in the community has missed her In one way or another. Borne of them have missed her in a thousand ways. Some of us shall never cease missing her until she comes back—if she ever does. And about the rarest tribute the whole town could pay her would be to say ‘We want you to come back to us.” The whole town says that. We miss some men far more than others. Tills isn't disparaging the others—it magnifying the marked man. Such a man was Asa O. Man ning—"Brother Manning” we all caned him. He was one of the min isters of the to am. And he was lov ed and reverenced by the commun ity Irrespective of color, denomina tional differences or anything else. He was not, perhaps, a great preacher; most of them are not. But he was a great man. More ac curately he was a good man who, like his Master, went about doing good. There are few people in Mar tin county who haven’t, In one way or another, felt the power of Asa G. Manning. He was a public servant. He didn’t confine his ministry to the little church he happened to serve in the community. He was too great for that. He belonged to the general public. He w ashed the feet of Martin county. He simply could not say "No" to any call. His labors were many, but his monetary compensations were very small. But there are other compen sations which, If a man cannot live on them, he cannot live without them; such tilings as love,honor.re spect and esteem. He had all these. The people loved him tenderly and beautifully. And I have said that a man like that Is worth his salary— and a good salary at that— merely to live in the community. If he has never done a thing; if he hadn’t preached a sermon, Williaroston and Martin county could have well af forded to support him for hlr> sheer value to the community. For his in fluence Was wholly good. It was al ways elevating. The very presence of the man was a rebuke to any sort of evil or wrong doing. One simply couldn't find it within him self to do anything wrong, or say anything wrong, or even think any thing WTong when he was around. He used to drop into my own church now and then. He always entered quietly and uhobstruslvely There was absolutely no pretension about the man. But his coming al ways softened and subdued my spirit. I felt like one of God’s chos en was present. And sometimes he’d pray at our church. I can hear him now as he called the words “Heav enly Father.” There is no way of calculating the power of such a man, and the good that he has done. He’s been gone now, some time. But the people do not seem to forget him. His life was too beau tiful and too rich in service for him ever to be forgotten. God does not always see as men see. and I wonder if men like Asa G. Man ning will not rank very high in the Kingdom that is to be? If it is really the people w e miss who matter most, then this good man mattered tremendously to the many people who knew him, and loved him and were helped bv him. j Inxm to Health pueriw ! C. A.

Shoffnrr, County Agent) It will soon be time to stall planting corn, In fact, soon as the soil Is dry enough to work, There is no question as to the lack of corn made In Cleveland county. IVe probably plant enongh acreage in corn, but oui yield is not what it should lie. In some cases we don’t plant enough for our needs. Com Is the basis of practically every feed we mix for livestock and not only do we use it for live-stock, but we use It for our family :i3C. Com can be fed in so many dif ferent ways to livestock. Corn is very valuable to the dairymen for silage. Com Needed. It Would be impossible to tell just ljow much corn a man should plant for his use, but approximately fig uring corn to yield thirty bushels ptv acre, and a family of five, two mules one cow, and one hundred hens, two pigs, it would take eight or ten acres of com, or a yield of 275 or 300 bushels. In some cases, there would be more corn and in some probably be less. In a very few instances should corn compose a complete ration for any* livestock. Fertilizing. # There are many opinions and p. ac Uses In fertilising corn. There is no definite rule as to the fertilization of corn. We have different soils and moisture to determine this factor You will find the following mature to suit most soils and produce a good deal of corn If we have rain. If moisture is lacking, fertilizer or any other plant food will not make corn A mixture of a 10-2-4 makes a mighty good fertilizer to apply t.o our corn at planting time. Then W'hen the corn is above knee nigh, cn application of quicker action am luonla is neededd. Xf you are mixing your fertilizer, a good formula would be a 10-2-4, composed of the following materials: 135C pounds acid phosphate, 475 pounds of cot ton seed meal, as our ammonia, and 160 pounds of murote of potash. The rate of application will entirely depend upon the fertility of the soil It should be applied at the rate of three to ftve hundred pounds per acre, Including the side-dresser. Knee-High Corn. Then application of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia when ihe com is a little above knee-high Two hundred pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre or ope hundred and fifty pounds of sulphate of ammonia to the acre makes a good applica tion. There is no crop that responds to nitrate of soda or sulphate of am monia more profitable than corn. Cotton seed meal is a very Ih e source of ammonia for corn. But due to the fact, that it is slower in acting, we should put this iov n when we plant our corn for the quicker acting ammonia as a side dresser. Crime Costing Billions Each Year In U. S. A. Pm Capita Payment to Muscle Men SW A Year. Crime Surrey Reveals. Albany. N. Yy—Racketeering;, the New York state crime commission flixlr?, is an “industry” with an an nual turnover of $115,000,000,000 to $18,000,000,000. ' The per capita payment to the muscle men is a minimum of $90 a year for each of Unole Sam’s family of 125,000.000 and half again that much if the commission's maximum crtimate is correct. The crime commission, iormerly known as the Baumes commission, pusses out of existence with the ad journment of the present session of the legislature, The report declared that a study should be made of what corrective measures could be adopted that would halt racketeering in the state. One racket in New York State alone—that of fake securities—is known to total approximately $400, 000.000 a year, the report said. ‘Targe surety companies say that crimes against property alone total nearly seven billion dollars a year." The commission quoted Federal Attorney Howard W. Amell of New York, as saying that amost every business in New York city had paid in tribute to racketeers ever a per iod of several years a total ranging from $200,000,000 to $600,000,000 an nually.
