He must find a dedication tor his life with God that will make | it meaningful.” 4 In addition to learning things about power, the student should al so learn about piety "There is a feeling that people can be emotional about everything except religion, but '-c need to be wildly enthusias tic about our leligion. too.” The session was held in Presby- Unan College's new Bc)k auditor ium. and members ^vere guests of the college tor dinner uf the dining hall Shortly after the meeting opened.

Wednesday evening at 7:00. The dairy show will be the largest in history. Judging will begin Tues day, October 25. C. C. Brannon of the dairy department, Clemson. will do the judging. Thirteen Laurens County beef cattle producers consigned j» total of 231 head of beef cattle to the Greenwood feeder sale recently. Choice steers averaged 25.09, good averaged 24 48, and medium steers averaged 21 94. More than 50 per cent of the steers going through the sale graded medium. This is far too many Twenty-four per cent of the stecr> were horned Herefords, and they sold up to $2.30 for steers of similar weight and grade. Gentle men, it looks as if those horns cost at least $10 00 per head I believe we can take them off cheaper than that. , It has been noticeable in previous years that choice cattle failed to bring the price of good grades. But not this year. The prices are with good breeders. Bob Means of Hum- j bert's farm near Princeton, tells mC he took nine calves to the sale and eight grade choice. He says the organized feeder sale is the only way to sell them, and 1 agree witi) him > Lucius Burns, Mountville. and Byron Brown, Laurens, each have a beautiful stand of alfalfa Alfalfa is known as the king of all hay- crops.
