BOYD, V22-6tc Executor. J. Roy Crawford SURVEYING Clinton, & C What Does > .. C. A. OWENS Del MOVES HOUSES Just a few words in regards to the cotton crop of 1925. The 1924 crop was planned when cotton was 30 cents a pound, but the 1925 Irop will have to be planned on 22 cents cotton. If any profit is to be expected it will have to be ma<je cheaper this year than last. You will ask how it can be # done. Fertilizer will be higher, labor about the same, feed higher, in terest on money cheaper. Seems from the above that it will be very hard to ‘ make it cheaper. A few things will help considerably when done. First, using, good, pure seed. Mr. B. R. T. Todd ox Barksdale, said that he made 100 pounds more lint per acre this year from sued ordered last win ter from the breeder, than he did from his old seed with conditions the same in other respects. North Carolina experiments for 1924 show that they made as high as wheretheTr seed weiro^roperly separ ated.. It only cost about 16 cents per bushel to do this. Have germination test run so you will khow how many to planf to get a stand. About one- tenth of the crop is lost on account of the stand. Mix your own fertilizer and save $10 per ton. Figure to’cut out part of the overhead expense for the present time, etp. All these things will help. Seems that the South will lose her supremacy in cotton product ion on account of the foreign coun tries, for they can grow it so much cheaper than we can. Boys and Girls Club Work All farm boys and girls should be enrolled in club work for the year of 1925. We had 164 club members in Laurens county last year. Up to date we have 108 enrolled for this year. There are many advantages to club work that I cannot explain in this short article but will give you some of the things that the club boys and girls did in 1924. The boys can join the following clubs: Corn, Cotton, Peanut, Irish Potatoes, Poultry, Dairy, Calf and Pig club. The only club that we have for the girls is Poultry club, due to not having a home demonstration agent in the county. I have made ar rangements for any, boy or &irl who joins the Poultry club to get pure bred eggs or baby chicks by signing a note with their father’s or guardi an’s name on it. They can either get Rhode Island Reds or White Leg horns under the above condition. This note is Without interest until the fall of the yean The club member can use any pure breed of chickens that they wish te for their demonstration. The following things were done by the club boys and girls of 1924: There was a three day encampment held at (slemson College last summer and we had 62 club members to attend this encampment. Many of the boys re ported that they had the biggest time they have ever had in their lives. Many more boys would have gone if it had not been for the weather condi tions at the time the encampment was held. 29 club members hacf exhibits at* the County Poultry and Club Show. An average of the net profits of all the record books sent in for each club member was $30 each. Some made more than $30, while others made less. We had two boys to get on the Dis trict Livestock Judging Tteam out of a possible three. One of these boys was selected for the state team and went to the State Fair for one week with all expenses paid. Each club member receives $ copy of the chib boys paper once a month free of charge. Four one-week free scholar ships are given to four boys doing the best club work and five are given to the girls. If enough girls join the club during the year of 1925, we are planning an encampment for the girls and there will be a three day encamp ment at some point for the boys. If you want your boy or girl to join this club I wish you would send me their name, address, age and the kind of club they wish to join and name of school. I would be glad to enroll them.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How Jeeua Comforts Hie Disciples. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Sources of the Christian’s Comfort. The hopes of the disciples were ut terly shattered when Jesus told them about the cross. Jesus had told them WifbW* away, air that they could net follow Him. Their hearts were flooded with grief. He con soled them by I. Pointing te the Reunion In the Father's House (vv. 1-3). 1. He Asks Them to Trust In Him Even as God (v. 1). Faith in ths God- man, Christ Jesus, will steady the heart, no matter how Intense the grief or how great the sorrow. 2. He Informed Them Tli4t He Was Going to the Father’s House In Heaven to Prepare a Home for Them (▼. 2). He aasured them that there was abun dant room for all. Heaven Is an eter nal dwelling place. 8. He Assured Them That He Would Come Again and Escort Them to Heaven (▼. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, but wlU come and call forth from the graves those who have died, and transform living believers, and take them all to be with Himself In the heavenly boms forevermore (I Thess. 4:16-17). ' II. Revealing the Way to tha Fa ther’s House (vv. 4-11). Jesus informed the disciples that they knew the place to which He was going and the way. To this Thomas Interposed a doubt. In answer to which Christ asserts that He is 1. The Way to God (v. 6). He Is something more than a mere, guide or teacher. He is the way itself. Be is the door of the sheep-fold. 2. The Truth (v. 6). He is not mere ly the teacher, but the truth incarnate. In His incarnation the spiritual and material worlds were united, there fore every line of truth whether spir itual or material converges in Him. No one who does not have Christ can ever have the real truth about anything. In Him we have the truth about man, wbat he is, what he ought to be, and what he shall be in eternity. In Him especially we have the truth about God. 3. The Life (v. 6). Christ is not merely the giver of life, but He Is the essence of life. Only those who re ceive Christ have life In the true sense. Since He is God incarnate, to know Him Is to know God. i til. Assuring Them That Hia Work Waa to Continue (vv. 12-14). Jesus’ going away was not to end the work which He had begun. This no doubt meant that through the min istry of the Spirit-illled disciples, the work which Christ began would as sume, larger proportions. There would be a much greater number of conver sions than under His ministry. After the Day of Pentecost the gospel did take a much wider range. During His ministry the message was confined to the Jews, while under the ministry of the disciples it was only- limited by the world Itself. The disciples’ min istry was ushered in by the conversion of three thousand in one day. IV. Promts** Another Comforter (yv. 12-1T). -The word comforter means literally one called to the side of another to give help, -protection and deliverance. This comforter was the Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Comforter while here in the body. The Holy Spirit was to be “another comforter.” V. Aesuring Thom of Hie- Return to Th*m (vv. 18-24). Although Christ went away He did not leave His disciples as orphans. The Father and the Son make their abode with the disciples who love and obey Jesus Christ. ' VI. Assuring Them That th* Holy Spirit Would Aid Them in Remember, ing and Understanding His Words (vv. 25-26). This the Holy Spirit does by Illu minating the minds of the disciples. VII. Giving the Legacy of Hia Peace <w. 22-31). By His peace is meant the serenity of soul which one enjoys who la recon ciled to God, who knows that his sins are forgiven.

No use you might make of so small a portion of your surplus funds that will pay you so rich a dividend in happiness. Or none that will keep on paying and -repaying, in such ever-increasing meas ure, not only through the year at hand, but all the years to come! Good piano music for all—and, for all, the personal pleasure of playing. The Gulbransen is a possession in which every member of the family shares, equally, individually. To each it brings the gift of music without the tedious fingering of the keyboard, but with every opportunity for self-expression. With a Gulbransen in the house no long er are there any mere “listeners.” Be cause anyone can play it with real musi cal feeling and expression, the entire household need not depend for its musi cal enjoyment upon perhaps the one person present who can play by hand. X Of the four styles of Gulbransen Registering Pianos the Suburban, $530, is the most gener ally favored model. Because it so completely meets the musical requirements, satisfies the tastes as to fine appearance, and fits the pock- etbooks of more peoplq than any other instru ment of its type, the Suburban Gulbransen is actually and numerically the world’s most popular piano. A particularly carefully made instrument. Good tone. N Easy keyboard touch for hand-playing. Fine veneers. Excellent finish. Handsome. Easy to Play. Investigate the Suburban Model at your Gulbransen deal ers. Inspect it thoroughly. Test its musical quality. Put your feet on the pedals and play it. 2 Years to Pay! MAIL THIS and we will tell you about our easy payment plan on the Gulbransen.
