The twenty-five year medals have been given out to veterans of the Woodmen of the World for the past fourteen years, the first medal being given in 1916. “When v/c first started giving, med als . out to veterans ‘ of our associa tion , we never dreamt that w c would be us ing thirty thousand of the service pins,” said of S*rrlr«» Medul W. A. FT&SCr. ''Our association lias had a great *rcwth since it was first organized with 135 members forty years ago.” "The pioneers of the Woodmen the World had an inspiring vision of the future of their or ganization but never dreamt of She tremendous size and wealth ttat the society now ha*;,” said Mr. Fraser. “Today the Wood men of the World is the strongest fraternal organization in exist ence.

Control Of House Flies Caution On Use Of Borax CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 21.— The recent suggestion by Prof. F. Sherman entomologist, that borax Solution sprinkled on manure is a possible means of preventing the breeding of flies, has brought forth ♦die caution that borax in manure is likely to hurt crops to which the manure may later be applied, and therefore, although the use of that chemical for fly control is men tioned by standard authorities, it may be better not to use borax if the manure is to be used after wards.;^ Prof. Sherman therefore, makes’ the fpllowing other sugges tions \ towards preventing the breeding of flies in stables. “If all manure be removed from stables twice a week or oftener and spread thinly on the fields, much breeding will be prevented.

No doubt there are also^materials which would do no haftn ‘ t& the manure, but which are not known to prevent the breeding of the flies. Borax has seemed to be one way out, but studies indicate it to be more dangerous to plants than we had formerly known.” Poultry Short Course. Clemson, June 23-28 CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 24.— In order that the marked increase in the numbers of poultry flocks in the state in recent years may be accompanied by increased re turns through the practice of methods of economical production, k poultry short course will be held a$t Clemson College, June 23-28. Competent poultry specialists will lecture and conduct discussions and demonstrations that will give those attending an excellent op portunity to get better acquainted with modem practices of poultry management, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultry specialist, who is arranging the short course. In urging poultry raisers to at tend the course, Mr. Gooding calls attention to the following pertin ent interesting facts and figures. “Poultry flock records show that a labor income or net profit of $2.00 per hen may be expected from flocks in South Carolina. The state is well adapted to poultry raising from the standpoint of cli matic conditions and market facil ities, and the poultry flock is one of the best means of supplement- \ng the farmer’s income with ready cash the year round. “South Carolina imports a large part of the eggs used in the state. Census figures show that only about one-third as many eggs per person are produced in South Carolina as for the average of the United States. This shortage of eggs should be supplied by local farmers and poultrymen with pro- it to themselves and at the same .time provide a better product for local consumer.” X tg r *7 Large canned peaches may be drained and broiled.

X Vagrant Cats Homeless or vagrant cats should be destroyed, say biologists of the U. S. Biological Survey, as an act of mercy to the cats themselves and as an aid in conserving birds and other small-animal life. Leaf let 50-L, “How to Make a Cat Trap,” tells how to make a simple but effective trap for catching cats. This leaflet may be procured from the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C. If a neigh bor’s pet cat or other valuable ani mal is caught accidentally, it may be released. Many city govern ments and also local organizations, such as animal rescue leagues or humane societies, will collect and dispose of unwanted animals on request. One humane society in New York City destroyed nearly a million vagrant cats in four years. Improved Uniform International SundaySchooi f Lesson f (Ey nnv. P. B.

In both in stances the unpreparedness „ for His coining on the part of the people is shown. In that of the ten virgins their unreadiness consisted in their lack of the inward life—absence of Ihe Holy Spirit. In this of the talents, their failure was properly to use the gifts which God had entrusted to them. The first was failure to watch; the second was failure to work. To each of His servants, jGod entrusted certain gifts and will hold each responsible for tbeir use. I>y talents is meant, whatever faculties and powers one possesses as gifts of God—physical strength, rea son, energy, knowledge, influence, time, money, the gift of speech and song. I. The Distribution of the Talents (vv. 14, 15). 1. It was a sovereign act. The Lord called His own servants and distributed to them His own money. He did not consult us as to our gifts. The One who created us and absolutely owns us has assigned us our place and given us our several powers, Intending thiK we put them to the best possible use. , . 2. It was an intelligent act. “Accord ing to his several ability.” The God who created us knew our ability to use gifts, therefore made the dhstrlhutlon'upon that basis. 3. It was7i purposeful act. Th* teleuts were given to be* traded with, not to be used for one’s own. gain and profit, but as stock in trade for the enrichment and glory of the Master. II. The Employment of the Talentt (vv. 16-18). 1. AH the servants recognized that the talents were not their own; that they were therefore responsible to'the Lord for the use made of them. This is the first principle of right Christian service. We should remember that we are all stewards o'f the manifold bless ings and grace of God. 2. ‘Tw6» servants used their talents. The five-talent man-put his to use and gained five more, and the two-talent man put his two talents to use- and gained two more. This shows, that God's gifts can he increased. The ex ercise of any gift increases it. The faithful use of what wc have In the place where we are will prepare us for greater usefulness and honor. 3. The one hid his talent. The fact thut one possesses but one talent should not discourage him. but rather make him strive the more. God does not reward according to what we possess, but according to our faithful ness. The crime of the one-talent man was not that he had but one talent, but that ho hid the talent which the Lord gave him. III. The Accounting for the Talents (vv. 19-30). 1. Its certainty (v.19). There Is a day coming when all must give account of their stewardship. An swer must be-.given as to. the . use mode of God’s gifts. 2. The ttme (v. 19). It wifi be at the coming of the Lord. 3. Judgments announced (vv. 21-30). (I) Reward of the faithful (vv. 21-23). a. Praise. “Well done." All like to be praised. How blessed it will be to hear from the lips of the Lord Him self, “Well done.” b. Promotion. The great consideration for all is not how many talents we possess, but as to how faithful we are in their use. (2) Punishment of the faithless (vv. 24-30). The one-talent man lied when brought to account, a. Reproach. “Thou wicked and slothful servant.” To.,be culled lazy is a reproach disliked even by a lazy man. b. Stripped. “Take therefore the talent from him.” Even the talent which had been given to him was now wrenched from him. c. Cast out. “Cast into outer darkness.” This servant was condemned on his own ground. The very fact that he knew' the character of his Lord should have been an Incentive for him to have ex erted himself.

Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Mix with the remainder of one and a half pints of cream (from which you took the half cup) and half a pint of double cream.
