The man himself may have been in trouble. Pos sibly he had been injured by some one and had forgiven that person three times, which was the legal require ment. But Peter knew that as a fol lower of the new Teacher he must go further and may have made it double the number, with one more fpr good measure. “Master, isn’t seven times enough to forgive anyone?” The an swer suggested that with ^even times the habit -^ras only well started. Let the act be done 490 times, was the re ply by w'ay of instruction. One thing accomplished by forgiv ing another is to get the cancer of hatred out of our own heart, other wise there is mental trouble for us by day and night One test that we have truly forgiven another is wh^n we "sineertfly prify that'ihey'may "exi^ri* ence God’s richest blessings. Jesus set the fine example when on the cross, in the midst of His agonies, He prayed “Father, forgive th«m, for they know not what they do.” Great truths are’remwnbered better when clinched with an apt illustra tion, so Jesus added a parable. Here is a man who owes millions of dollars and when payment is called for begs for more time. The situation is already impossible and nothing remains to be done but sell man, wife and children that ev^n a little equity may come to the prince. Instead the one who is a prince cancels the entire indebtedness. This is just the way God forgives the sinner. It is not a question of the sixe of the sin but of the abounding love of the Father. Then this forgiven man, in the story, looks over his records and finds a fellow servant who owes him the small sum jof $17. With un couth words this paltry debtor is cast into prison until full restitution is shall we forgive, even though this is not sought by the one who has wrong ed us? The answer is in a petition that Jesus used in teaching the dis ciples how to pray. “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” is the well known condition that we j name in approaching the Father for { His forgiveness. In the revised version 1 the wwrds cal for our actual act of forgiveness: “As we also have forgiv en our debtors.” Great truths in the Easter lesson are the facts of the resurrection of the body of Jesus, which is a pledge of the resurrection of our own body at His second coming. Death refers* i to the body only: “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. There is no sleep of the soul after death. ^Do not worry abo^t thlnjjfs in advance? The women found that the stone was rolled away before they arrived. Five-year-old Lois June Allen, orphan daughter of a world war vet eran. pins the first “Buddy Poppy” of the Spring campaign on Mr. Hoover's coat The money from the sale of the ^poppies goes for the relief of disabled veterans and their dependafits. POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL SOUP Soup is doubtless one of the oldest standbys of food. In "its oldest forms, of course, it was served as the mainstay of the meal. A big bowl of soup with bread, and perhaps some onions and cheese, still forms the mainstay of diet in' many peasant homes. The more modern, more sophisticat ed way is to use* soup as something to tempt rather than to satisfy the appetite at the big meal of the day. A bowl oLthick soup is still often served for luncheon. But for dinner the soups that whet but don’t satisfy are the ones chosen. For that reason the clever hostess does not serve dried bean soup for dinner—unless dinner is otherwise a rather meager meal. Nor does she serve a thick, rich cream "soup. 1 i I a %>ring Hats Just received the new Spring Hats in Felts and Straws. We have your size and shape. L. B.

IT DAD TO iE GOOD TO GET VaBEB IT Iff 9 MILLION « Many Will Seek IMums In Laurens County This Summer, Ind’ra- tions Now Show. Laurens, April 13.—With the reor ganization of the Democratic clubs near at hand, l.*urens county is look ing toward the summer primary elec tions. Already .candidates ace head-, ing up for the campaign and the indi cations are that there will be no lack of aspirants for the various offices that must be filled by nomination and election in the summer and fall. Phil D. Huff is the first of the house delegation to announce infor mally that he will stand for re-nomi nation. O. P. Goodwin is a holdover state senator. In the races for county offices there will be a new lineup, for some of the vacancies. 0. G. Thoinpsno, Confed erate veteran, who has held the office of probate judge since January 1, 1895, or a little over 36 years, has announced that he wfll retire at the close of his present..term,, .expiring at the end of this year.' Candidates, avowed and prospective, for this of fice include: C. A. Power, Otis P. Huff, Laurens; T. Houston Babb, Gray Court; W. E. Washington of the Mount Olive section. Another widely known county of ficer who is planning to retire from political office is Miss Kate V. Wof ford, who was elected county super intendent of education in 1922, she being the first woman in the state to be. plecte^ to this office. Her present term does not expire until July 1, next year. After completing her term, Miss Wofford probably will take post graduate work at some university be fore taking up other lines of eiued- tional activities. Now in the field as candidates for superintendent are Duckett Young of Laurens, and Mrs. Arthur Copeland of Clinton. Charles F. Brooks, a former holder of the of fice, at present superintendent of the Elloree high school, is an avowed as pirant for the place and will probab ly announce himself soon. John D. W. Watts will stand for re- election to the office of county super visor. He will be 5y A. Rhett Martin of Youngs township; J. War ren Crane, a textile worker of Clin ton, and probably others. For the office of county treasurer, D. Roy Simpson of Laurens, and B. R. Fuller of Clinton, are definitely in the race. Roas D. Young, incumbent, has not announced his intentions regard ing the seeking of another term. The county auditor, Sam R. Ddr- roh, will ask re-election. So far he has no opposing contestant fer the of fice. W. H. Barksdale and A. Homer Moore, incumbent county commission ers, will stand for re-nomination, it is understood. At this time no other can didates have ventured forth for the two places on the board. The sheriff, coroner and clerk of court hold over for two more years. NOTICE TO PUBLIC Until further notice the Board of County Commissioners will hold regu lar sessions on Tuesday following the first day of each month and afternoon sessions on Tuesday following the 15th day of each month. The board would prefer to consider county claims at its first meeting of the month so that the second meeting may be devoted to other official mat ters. And it is earnestly requested that such claims be filed with the clerk on or before the last day of the previous month so that they may be verified and prepared for approval, time directing road and bridge work but for the convenience of the public he will be at the office every Tues day afternoon.

From everywhere the unmistak able verdict comes that wLse fertiliz ing dues pay the farmer who grows crops fof market. Part of the wis dom Is in choosing the right ferti lizer—in deciding to use old reliable V-0, If you’ll take Full Rows' word for It. Another truth is proved by the answers of these 48,tKX) farmers. This truth Is that It pays liest to fertilize uxll. The more generous applications of fertilizer t)er acre are proved to produce the greater returns—through earlier and bigger and better yl^ds. throqxh yields of higher gaess value—in the final figure that counts most—net profit! Ntdhiii^ But V<C for 16 Years •‘We have handled V-O fertilizers continuously and exclusively for 16 years. Sales have lncrea.sed each year. Many satisfied growers have lieen using V-O ever since we started handling it." — Hector Supply Co., Dealer, Miami. Flu. \T -V-0- *‘For over 20 years we have handled V-O. During this long twrlod our customers have been en tirely siuisfted.”—M<^Ghe« Coffon Co., Dealer, Rome, Oa. . -V-O- **Like Father, Like Sons” Many yeart ago the father of four young ions became one of the’ first customers of the old Georgia Chem ical Works, buying his fertiliser from what is now the V-O sales offloe in Augusta.

McBlmurray—ail are grown now, and have families of their own. and are respected and successful mem bers of their communities. “Our first recollections are of coming into this office with our father,” said E. W. McBlmurray re cently.” Maybe we Just formed the habit then, but I think it was be cause the V-O brands were always good and helped us make money. Anyhow, we’ve kept coming back ever since, for the same old brands. I’ve been using them myself for 38 years and they suit me. My father used to let me buy them on his credit, till I got to be 21. My brothers and I are carrying out the same pro gram with our families. We were raised on V-O and it looks like we'U raise our own on V-O.” Quality Product Needed ”We have dealt largely with quantitative production of cotton, but we need qualitative production. We must know the right plant food and its proper application, the right seed, the proper cultivation. We have a problem in the quality of the product.”—Dr. E. O.

And competition! Management must be wiser, now, for total yields climb faster than markets and no man can say what his products will bring. Good farming has learned a les son—it hunts profit in lower costs. Your successful farmer even adds &. little to his costs In ,Order-to cut them! He buys and uses tons of V-O fertilizer, rich mixed food for hls growing crops—and produces pounds or bushels or other units in greater number per acre and man hour, thus cutting the cost each unit must bear. Not only does this farmer push costs down—he pushes gross Income up, for he sells at higher prices the earlier yields and better yields that V-O fertlllzM brit^gs.

There It one sure way to get greater Talue in a low-pric^ car today— choose a Six! This greater value Is instantly obvious when you drive a Chevrolet Six. You notice first of all its greater smoothness. There is no tremor in the steering wheel—no rattle in the floor boards—-no rumble or drumming in the body. In addition to the finer perform ance of its six-cylinder motor, the new Chetrolet gives you, ’truly remarkable economy. Its six-cylinder smoothness saves the entire car from the strain and wear of vibration. This, of course, lowers the cost of maintenance and assures a loncer-lastini, lonier- sqtisfyinn automobile. From the standpoint of operating expense, Chevrolet is equally eco nomical. No other automobile^con sumes lest gasoline and oil. NobtEer shows a lower expense for tires.'And no other car costs less for service. Because of its modem engineering, Chevrolet also assures a high re- . sale value. , Chevrolet gives you fullv-enclosed, weather-proof, 4-wheel brakes; a modern fuel system—with the gasoline tank mounted in the rear; four long seini-elliptic springs, mounted lengt^hwise in the direc tion of car travel. It gives you beautiful Fisher bodies built of combination hardwood-and-steel. It gives you a heavy, rigidly-braced channel-steel frame. And it gives you a full ball bearing steering mechanism. Before you decide on anv car in the low-price field, see and drive the Chevrolet Six. The more thor oughly you investigate, the more certain you are to conclude that it*8 wise to choose a Six—for value, for performance . . . and for eco* nomical transportation! * \ ROADSHTER OR PHAETON *495 f.«. k. factory.
