But at home thore were not always enough to man these big ones, which required at least three persons to do business. So from the sorter pieces of vine we made in dividual jump-ropes. Hiese had to be oify about 8 feet long. We’d swing 'em ourselves, and jump merrily as it approached the ground. We would do this standing at one place usually and then jump until the vine had beaten a depression there in the ground. But the more accomplished ones could run around the yard jumping rope as they went. We all tried to master this. But I think the greatest fun came from the long vines. For with these there was group action. Often we would pick up sides and have some 6 to 10 boys on each side. Then we would try to see who could put the most boys in the loop jumping at the same time. We'd sometimes get 3 to 5 in there before someone missed and caught the vine on his shin. We tried awful hard not to do that, for it spoiled our turn and that hard vine could sure bruise a shin at times. Conservation Notes By J. B. O’DELL, ComenratiMist Byron and Cecil Brown of Rt. 2, Laurens, and John Earle Smith of Rt. 1, Kinards, are making plans to construct stock watering ponds on their respective farms. The Brown brothers' pond is to help furnish wa ter for their herd of dairy cattle and will be the third pond to be built on the farm for this purpose Mr. Smith's pond will be used pri marily for watering beef cattle and wiQ be the second such pond to be built on this farm These farmers realise the import ance of having plenty of water avail able for their livestock during the hot ma hate a rtmwidakh wh of »a- other day: "It mom to me that if we are going to tana load la section, we wffl have to da It grass.

EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Dr. Small automobiles, foreign and domestic, are appearing in great numbers on our highways. One of the most popular American cars is the Rambler. The driving force be hind this car is a man, George Wilcken Romney. ^ In the June issue of Reader’s Di gest is the story of this remarkable man who is called the “Apostle of the Small Car.” The author de scribes him as a "broad-shouldered, Bible-quoting broth of a man who has brought off single-handed one of the most remarkable selling jobs in U. S. industry. He has taken a com pany—American Motors—that only three years ago was on the brink of the grave, the butt of joint, and fivwi it a brant laaae on Ufa . rampaging Rambler hat mada a big dent in the big car market and the race it on. All aver Detroit, manufacturers are hastily crinking up their small, economy-dte tenders. "My religion,’ tayt Romney, "ia my most precious possession.

Sharing responsibility tor church work has been a vital coun ter-balance in my life.” Here’s another of those Captains of Industry who prove that partner ship with God is not' only good for health and happiness, but also for business.

More remarkable, he reserves his Sundays exclusively for church ac tivities.

Often that had rest sods up on the golf course on Sundsy afternoon. So many people fail to realise that physical rest and spiritual restora- tiqn are twin brothers. Rest alone is not enough In these high pressur ed days which take so much out of us and leave us emotionally flat or disturbed. The drain on our emotional life is terrific, sadly depleting the nervous system. Our emotional life must be re-charged just as the battery in our Is re-charged. His k _ takes his place with like R.
