FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1935 THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT NONE LIKE GOD: Thy right eousness also, O God, is very .high, who hast done great things: 0 God, who is like, unto thee! Psalm 71:19 DO WE REALIZE ALL OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES? De we folks of Perquimans County realize what a good place this is to live in? Are we conscious of the opportunities and the advantages which have been provided us by na ture? It must be that some of us have become so accustomed to them that we are indifferent to their value. Perquimans County has fertile oil, and soil that is adapted to the growth of practically every kind of crop, from early garden truck, which is so little grown here, to the late crops, of which peanuts is an im portant item, and including cotton, -corn, wheat, soya beans, peas and al- . most everything else. , ' That Perquimans is most unusual ly adapted to stock raising is a fact which very few of our farmers seem to have grasped. And fishing is so convenient to practically every section of Perquim ans, from the Perquimans River which winds and winds to touch near ly every point in the county, and in which fish can be caught throughout the' entire year. The Albemarle ' Sound touches our borders and af fords a fine opportunity for fishermen in that end of the county. A living 1 can be had from the water alone. Game is plentiful. There have "been so many wild ducks along the "river shores this year that almost wry one could go out during the sea' son and bring in from one to half a dozen of these fine wild fowls. There aren't any wealthy folks in Perquimans, as real wealth is count ed. - We have some who are fairly well off. We shouldn't have so many dead poor folks as we have. We wouldn't have if we took advantage of what nature has put within easy reach. Incidentally, it is a noticeable fact that those folks who do make the most of their opportunities in the county do well. We have some far mers, a few here and there, who have something to market through out the entire year. They are the well-to-do farmers. They work all the year. They haul early garden truck to Norfolk markets, and even to markets -farther ; north.' During the summer they are busy with the usual crops of cottori, corn, peanuts, etc. In the fall they have more truck after the summer crops are harvested. They market sweet pota toes throughout the 'whole winter. They have meat to sell. They have chickens and quantities of eggs. Their work is never done. Maybe that's the secret. It takes work. Na ture has done a lot for us but she cant do it all. The man who really works, using his "head as well as his hands, usualy succeeds. And that holds good everywhere. HIT OR MISS There's good fishing in the Per quimans River. And Hertford has some mighty good fishermen. There are H." A. Whitley, Edgar Fields, T. E. Raper, Capt T. W. Perry and his son, Carl, Sheriff J. E. Winslow, Silas M. Whedbee, Dr. Davenport, and a lot of others. Probably there isn't a man in Hertford who really enjoys fishing more than the Rev. B. P. Robinson, pastor of the Hertford M. E. Church. Mr. Robinson likes to fish. They all like it They make . good catches, they catch big fish. But they all do not fish on Sundays. Mr. jmjvuumjh uvea not, ior one. ., : ' But there is something funny - about these fishermen who go out on ing home with pretty tall stories of ' the fish they catch and of those they almost catch. That fish that isn't landed is " always something of a whale,, you . know. ' There must be a .lot -of those enormous fellows loose, judging from the number you hear of being almost caught "". . ,- I dont know whether the, flqfc'fnaf naturally bite better on Sundays than '1--- ij At.. ...

" JT seems to me that the dress-making problem is halt solved when you have a dress form made to your own sise and shape, which will pose tor you houra on end without grumbling while you do the fitting. I think every amateur seamstress should have a "Usde." though I realise that the matter of space tor such a tenant Is no small problem in some of our homes. Not all of us have closet space to spare so In my next article 111 give some suggestions for a screen which will cod eealyour dummy from the pubUe gase while she la off duty. - -i When buying a dress form get one a size smaller than your own bust measure, assuming, of course, you're going to use It for your own gar ments. I see no necessity for buying an expensive one for. an Inexpen sive one will serve you as wea They come oh metal standards with small wheels or casters and can be easily adjusted to the desired height ' . Make a elose-fltting lining to your own bust measure, reaching down ,Delow the hips. This should be of some closely woven material, pre erably with a slick surface like good sateen or glased chintz that gap meats win not cling to wfcen being put on or taken off the dummy. The color of this lining Is not vital but M suggest white or flesh color. It's a bit discouraging to see a drab color showing through a dainty garment you are fitting. j Fit this lining to yourself as near perfectly as possible, leaving It open down the front See that the neck and armholes ae Just right Press the seams open after stitching it up. Place at4eee of the Jlplng material over the amvhole, letting the edges extend beyond where the arm-hole will be. i.-vs--'-Vi-'-;.!' i Place the lining over the drees torm. CatWully pad out with cotton all spaces between the lining and the form until the Uning Is smooth Sn.OTWLpln front together, using care not to stretch the Unlng out of shape. Turn the lower edge op away from the cotton pad ding around the hips. Cover the padding wtth a strip of lining material, sowing the strip to the form along the bottom.

Cfrcvi 4 One way to .have roses is to buy plants,' place them in the ground, and let them shift for themselves. They are; obliging Jlowers. . Even under poor conditions - they will give you some blooms for the table, some color fcon arbor or fence post ; But they are also, appreciative, Give: them -a little care a little consideration for their soil preferences and food requirements and they will reward you hundred times,, ,v, ; ', st . ' Any good , garden soil, which is soil weU-tiUed, jwell-drained and rich 'in humus will grow, good roses. . (The rose is a hearty feeder.) The lay of the land should be' such as to drain off excess water during heavy rains, yet retain enough hv case of droughts. It is better to have the. soil lean to ward heaviness "rather than toward lightness( although a' medium-heavy soil, loose in texture is ideal A heavy soil may be lightened by adding sand, and a light soil made heavier by ad ding clay. v. r'v:! Even more important )s the' provid-i the hole ing of humus' in the form of decayed vegetable matter, well-rotted manure or commercial humus.: Humus pro vides the microorganisms that release and make available for the plant's use the potential plant food in the soil.
