There is a little story, “How Mary Got a New Dress,” in a primary reader, that teaches a wonderful les ion in co-operation. Mary needs a new winter dress. The sheep gives his, wool and asks, “who else will help?” The shearers answered that # I they will shear the wool , and ask, “who else will help?” The cai&ers, spinners, weavers, dyers each in turn do their part and ask, “who else will help?” For Mary’s dress is not yet made. Your organizer has visited school districts all over the country in an effort to locate schools and place teachers wherevter needefi. Your Superintendent of Education has been interested and active, school superin tendents have been nelpful, sympa thetic and co-operative, and teachers have expressed a desire to do their share. Trustees, too, have signified thir willingness to lend a hand—a trustee in one district being so zeal ous as to offer himself and car as a means of transportation for pupils. Preachers have kindly made an nouncements and have brought the campaign before their congregations in other ways. One esteemed and bupy pastor has taken time to write a gracious letter ending with a rever ent, “God bless the work.” No mem ber of committee has been a slacker. Last* but not least, editors have been courteous and obliging, giving space for ^articles concerning the work. One magnanimous editor agreed to give free copies of his paper to adult schools, thereby aiding in a very material way. In the face of all these encourag ing things we are confronted by the fact that the enrollment in our night schools so far, is far from what it should be. The taskj is a hard one, but the satisfaction which comes from ac complishing a hard task is well worth the effort. There are others still' who must apv is eliminated during this Who else will help?

Poor Soils Mean ~ Low Yields Low Yields Mean LESS Money for Farmers, Merchants and Bankers * The average yield of cotton for Barnwell County is about 140 pounds of lint cotton per acre. The average yield of corn is about 14 bushels per acre. Farmers in Barnwell County who.are building up their soils with legume crops, such as peas and beans as summer crops, and vetch and Austrian peas as winter crops, and are using plenty of the right kind of fertilizer, are making nearly a bale of cotton per acre and above thirty bushels of corn per acre. Failure to use enough of the right kind of Fertilizer is FALE economy.— It is equivalent to FAILURE. Your Experiment Station and good farmers all over — - : r : .. —— plant peas and beans in the State every row of corn. Ask your county agent about the Experiment Station recommendations relative to soil building crops and fer tilizer.

GOLDEN TEXT—8«ak ye first the kingdom of God, and Hie righteous- neas; and all these things shall be added unto you. PRIMARY TOPIC—Being True U Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Being Loyal to Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Being Loyal to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Putting First Things First. Having set forth In tha previous chapter the standard! of the kingdom, Jesus now exhibits the underlying principles which control the eubjects of the kingdom. I. As to Giving (w. 1-4). Alma were not to be given before men to be seen of them. Doing alms before men is not condemned as that would contradict Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek pnbUeity in doing onr elms Is to miss the reward of onr heavenly Father. The true child of the kingdom will seek privacy in doing righteousness, that be may have the open reward of the Father. II. As to Praying (w. 5-15). 1. False prayer (vv. 5, 7). This consists in (1) Praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). Many of the prayera uttered In public are false, for there is more thought of whet the people think than of whet God thinks. (2) Using vain repeti tions (v. 7). This does not mean that we should ask hut once for e given thing. We have examples of Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing (Matt. 26:39-46; II Cor. 12:7, 8). It means the using of mean ingless repetitions. The reason Is, "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him." 2. True prayer (v. 6). Since prayer Is a transaction of the goal with God, there should be a real desire for fellowship with Him which moves one to meet Him In the secret place. 3. The model prayer (vv. 9-15). This Involves (1) Right relationship —"Our Father" (v. 9). (2) Right at titude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv. 9,10). (3) Right spirit—"Give ns our dally bread, forgive us our sins, lead ua not Into temptation" (vv. 11-13). III. As to Fasting (vv. 16-18). The true reason for fasting Is to be found In the opportunity It gives for a clear vision of God. Those who have thus seen God will make it mani fest In a joyful countenance. IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv. 19v24). The Lord knew the temptations which would befall His children to their earthly pilgrimage and the anxiety to which It would lead; there fore He set forth the proper attitude toward them. L The nature of earthly riches (w. 19-21). (1) Uncertain (vv. 19, 20). Earthly treasures corrode, or are taken from us, therefore we should lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven where they are absolutely safe from corrup tion and from thieves. (2) Seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceit ful (Matt. 13:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthly treasures possess us, they be* come a snare unto us. • Excessive at tention should not be given to earthly treasures. 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22-24). (1) Blunt the moral and spiritual perceptions (vv. 22, 23). Those who become enamored of the things of this world soon become irresponsive to spiritual things. When the heart Is upon earthly treasures, it Is taken from God. The double eye is dis astrous to spirituality. (2) They ren der null and void all service (v. 24). As soon as one's heart is stolen by riches, he is rendered unfit for spir itual service. V. As to Faith In the Heavenly Fa ther (vv. 25-34). L Be not anxious about food and clothing (vv. 25-34). Because (1) It shows distrust of God (v. 30). God Is able to supply His children’s needs. (2) It is use less (v. 31). Anxiety can bring noth ing. While bringing ns nothing, it weakens our service. (3) It Is heathenisb (▼. 82). Those who have not learned to trust God may worry over temporal affairs, but those who know Him as a loving Father, will be free from care. 2. Be anxious to seek the kingdom of God and serve Him (vv. 33. 34). This means that worldly affairs should be subordinated to spiritual affairs. ^ Against Hunting, Fishing & Trapping Any person or persons entering upon the lands hereinafter referred te> situate in Barnwell, Richland and Red Oak Townshipe, for the purpose of hunting, fishing or trapping, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law: Mrs. Flossie Smith 1,000 W.
