1 VTr v g>gagmt'n jgffit f jt TO YOU |V JJf HIS season finds our* people more truly in a Christmas Spirit than they have been since 1929. Conditions seem at last upon the mend, and with hearts made light by promise of a better day, we can wish each other Merry Christipa# and put something of the old time ring of feeling into it. The world's a better place because of Bethlehem. Were it not for Christmas and its joyous tidings, the world had long since lost itself in clouds of doubt, depression and despair. The crisis of depression past, its' lessons learned, let the simple teachings of the Holy Child whose nativity we celebrate this month hold greater sway in all men's -,>7 | hearts; let strife and discard fade, let mutial trust and confidence prevail, and the creeds and races I of the earth dwell together in peace and harmony as befits adopted sons of God. So, its friends jE throughout the county, Komegay Funeral Home extend it's hearty greetings for a Bright and Merry ^ | VX Christmas and a Glad New Year. yl d&S .?=WEEKLY BULLETIN r~' .

Santa j Claus brings Junior his tirst shot nun | ami how proudly you show him the ! correct manual of arms. (And you1 will do this too, if you are a good parent). Tim keynote of the Nativity is "goodwill." Goodwill toward our fellow man. We sort of no through a cleansing procoss this season of the year. We are divested of many ills and faults and our eyes are cleared so that we see only good in all mankind. Then follows the Now Yoar! New opportunities. Another chance. Concretely, In 1937, wo will have the opportunity of doing good, as the Legislature meets and we are all set to argue for more adequate legislation for protection of our game resources?especially our game fish. During the first week in March comes the national meeting of the general wildlife federation In St. Louis This itlx* lirst meeting .-itx ? t: . n: iL'inal Washington con vent inn last February. Coimios will very probably enact u ntcasnt'i! known as the Kill for Federal Aid to State Wildlife Restoration Projects. It will he drawn along lines somewhat similar to the federal highway act. The federal government will go r.O-f.O with tlx1 state wildlife restoration projects. Wildlife restoration will conic about more quickly by some such measure than any other. Our great highway system was built along these lines. Everyone that hunts is not going to interest himself in restoration. Everyone that kills la not going to atop at the bag limit. Everyone that tak?>a Is not concerned with conservation. But many are. More today than yesterday. More in 1937 than in 1936. The "few" are growing to "many." Game conservation is growing in interest and action. May you have a joyous Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. May your opportunities be great, and your harvests fruitful.

The lexicographer declared that "ignorance masquerading as superior knowledge has wrought some havoc with many of our common words." "Our first grammarians, having a profound knowledge of Latin, restored the original Latin forms wherever it seems to them that we had departed from the purity of the' old**' tongue," he Bald'. "Hence today we still insert a wholly instructive 'b' in debt and doubt, though we make no attempt to pronounce it, and for the good old English 'parflt* we have the undesirable alien 'perfect.'" "But some word changes are due to neither confusion nor ignorance. When two words 'educational* and 'telegram* were first introduced Into English use there was 'hell to pay' in Great Britain. Archbishop Trench and Bulwer Lytton raised that particular quality of hell sanctions by the Church of England under Queen Victoria.

WINTER COVER CROP8 MORE THAN RUGS FOR THE 80IL Farmers cooperating with the Soil Conservation Service seeded more acres to cover crops this fall than ever before. Cover crops, say agronomists of the Service, are more than rugs for rainworn soils. Wherever cover crops can be seeded on clean cultivated land they reduce runoff and check .soil erosion. But cover crops do even more?they tend to Increase the yields of regular farm crops. Agronomists in the Bureau of Plant Industry found that winter cover crops, such , as field peas, vetch, crimson clover, and rye. planted on cotton land, increased cotton yields about one-third and corn yields about three-fourths. ] Credit this to cover crops also: ' 1 he\ help to keep soluble nitrogen 1 nnd other plant food in the soil from ! leaching out and going to waste. They J also protect new terraces and terrace ? outlet channels during the fall and < winter when the soil between terraces 1 ordinarily would be bare. < In nddltion to supplying fall, win- < ter. and early spring pasture, cover J crops plowed under add humus to the < soil, Increasing Its fertility and capac- ! Ity to hold moisture. } ; Cotton growers usually turn under \ the coyer crops about three weeks j before planting, while corn growers j ordinarily tern them under about two j weeks befbre seeding time.
