Stone, Vice-chair man, Federal Farm Board, that it is fully as important for a farmer to know how to market crops effi ciently as it is to produce them efficiently. Addressing the annual National 4-H Club Camp being held . in Washington under the auspices of the Extension Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture, Mr. Stone said that co-operative action seems eto offer the best solution of the farm marketing problem and that the 4-H Clubs can do more than any other agency in helping the Farm Board to make the program of the Agricultural Marketing Act a successful service to the future farmers of America. “The 4-H Clubs/’ Mr. Stone ex plained, “teach you boys and girls how to become better farmers and home makers, encourage you to take part in neighborhood affairs and be of service to others, develop a spirit of teamwork among you and train you in leadership, one of the great needs of agriculture to day. All of this is most excellent and serves to make life on the farm more attractive. “But while you have been learn ing to produce well and efficiently, you have given little thought to efficient marketing. Fancy prem iums received for prize animals or products exhibited at county or state fairs, you will quickly learn as practical farmers, are not the prices paid in the markets for sim ilar commodities. If you wish to get a fair return for your effort you will find that just as much or more attention must be given to marketing your crop as to produc ing it. • “For the most part farmers in the past have been content to pro duce to the lirnlo and let someone else do the marketing. They have continued to grow and sell blindly, without regard to what their neighbors are doing, with the re sult that agriculture has not kept pace financially with other indus tries, which have become highly organized. “The Farm Board was created to help correct this disparity. Con gress said the way for agriculture to gain economic equalty is through co-operation on the part jDf farmers. Our board is trying to help the farmers get organized so that they, acting together, may control the production and mar keting of their crops and thereby get a fair price for them. It is our opinion that co-operation is the only thing that offers real hope for agricultural prosperity. “Co-operation among farmers that is being promoted by the Farm Board is nothing more than a broadening of the teamwork you young people are doing in your 4-H Clubs. We feel that substan tial 'progress is being made. The job is not one to be done overnight, in the long run success depends on the willingness of farmers to co operate. “Members of 4-H Clubs know the advantages of co-operation in their work, they know how to lead oth ers and also they know how to follow leadership. They can be of great assistance to the Farm Board in developing this program which will enable farmers, through col lective action, to put agriculture on a sound financial basis. We feel that the future prosperity of American agriculture rests largely in the hands of the f-H Clubs and are confident you will get behind the co-operative movement just as enthusiastically and with just as much determination to succeed as you have your other club projects.’’ Every Weman Known Every woman knows how easy it is to bum or scald herself while working in her home.

Sold by STROMS’ DRUG STORE Aged Man Makes Good Record In Car CHICAGO, 111., June 23.—An out standing achievement of the cur rent motoring .season was recorded here recently with the arrivo.l of J. M. Griffith from Mexico City, iri 138 hours of running time, in a 1922 Chevrolet touring ear with five passengers. Although nearing 64, Mr. Griffith drove every inch of the distance himself. After stopping off here two weeks, he preceded to Detroit where he inspected several auto mobile plants and the General Mo tors proving ground, and then was impatient to be off on the long trek home to resume his occupa tion as mechanical engineer. Leaving Mexico City on April 30, the party covered the 929 miles to the Border, crossed at Laredo, and proceeded to Chicago and Detroit with no mishaps other than two stop-overs, one for tire repairs and 6ne, at San Antonio, for carbon re moval and replacement of three exhaust valves* in the eight-year- old car. The log of the trip, as re ported by Mr. Griffith, provides statistics of interest to those con templating a* lengthy tour this summer: Distance (Mexico City to Chic ago), 2514 miles; running time, 137.5 hours; average speed 18.28 miles per hour; gasohne consump tion, 96.6 gallons; miles per gallon, 26; cost of gasoline, $33.75; oil and greasing, $6.25; repairs to car, in cluding tire repairs, $11.50. The total cost of transportation, evclu- siye of meals, hotel expenses and personal items, was $51.50, or at the rate of one-third cent a mikr for each person in the car. Despite the. age of his Chevrolet, Mr. Griffith said that he started on the tour with no doubt as to the venerable old-timer’s ability to cover the distance without trouble. In driving around Mexico City, prior to the start of the tour, the car was constantly being called up on to climb mountain passes up to 12,000 feet. The speedometer had registered 28,000 kilometers before leaving Mexico. After spending several days here, following his return from Detroit, Mr. Griffith nosed his car toward the South, and started out on the return trip as nonchalantly as though his destin ation were only a few miles out of town or Mis car were a new 1930 six cylinder model. —X — Saving Young Lives One of the few bright spots in the traffic situation is the condit ion respecting children, says a re port of the Third Annual Confer ence on Street and Highway Safe ty. At a time when the accident toll among adults is constantly rising, the nation’s children are demon strating that they have the intelli gence, stamina and capacity for understanding the laws of safety that enables them to accommodate themselves to the conditions of a more hazardous world. Six years ago, it is said, the value of teaching, safety in the schoels was problematical. Today it has been established beyond doubt that such teaching is a tre mendous influence in the preser vation of life. According to statistics issued by :he Bureau of the Census, if acci- lental fatalities to children had increased during the last' seven years at the same rate as acci dental fatalities to adults, there would have been over 3,000 chil dren killed in traffic accidents last year, and 3,000 more killed in o4;h- er kinds of accidents, who are now lining. Figures covering the last three years show a large increase in motor fatalities for adults, a smaller increase for children of pre-school age, and a very im portant decrease for children of school age. * This does not mean that we have solved the problem of accidents to children. Fine work has been done and ^is being done; still finer and more complete work should be done. Every school in America should give its pupils the teaching that will enable them to safely meet the hazards of daily life. FORD BATTERIES $7.95 WHITTLE BATTEBT SERVICE 622 BROAD PHONE 1166 AVGUSTA.

Abraham’s ancestors were idola trous. God came unto him in Ur of the Chaldees and said unto him, 1. “Get thee out of thy country.” It was necessary for him to break the strong attachments which bound him. 2. Get thee out “from thy kindred.” lie was not only to leave behind him his native land, hut his relatives as McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —< Preaching service Saturday night before 3rd Sunday at 8 o’clock; third Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock and third Sunday night at 8 o’clock.

God’s Covenant with Abraham (12:2, 3; 17:1-8). 1. What God psomised to Abraham. (1) To make him the father of a great posterity (v. 2). This has been liter ally fullflled. (2) To make his name groat (v. 2). No name in all history equals that of Abraham in its honor able influence. It is revered among Jews, Mohammedans and Christians. They all acknowledge him as father (3) A blessing, tq, others (vv. 2. 3). He was not only to become great and share God’s blessings, but to be a blessing to others. 2. The land given unto him (17:8).

The nation to which lie came nearest and gave most*_jn order that it might pass on his goodness to the other nations of the world, was given the most strategic position in the earth. While the Hebrews have failed in the fulfillment of their divinely ap pointed task and the world is in chaos because of it, they shall go back te their old land and fulfill their divinely appointed task. III. Abraham's Generous Treatment cf Lot (13:1-12; 14:-M(;). While Abraham sojourned in Egypt, having gone there because of the famine in Canaan, tie grew ri<*h in worldly goods. Because of his decep tion of the king, lie was thrust out of Egypt when the truth became known. 1. Abraham and Lot separate (vv. 5-12). Seeing that their temporal relations would engender strife and provoke quarreling, and knowing the disastrous effect upon the heathen round about. Abraham gave Lot his choice. Though Lot owed everything to Abraham, his selfish heart moved him to grasp for Jhe best, and bis decision ultimately brought him to grief. He prospered for awhile, but eventually not only his goods, but he himself and his family were taken away by the con federate kings who came against So X Baptist Schedule BETHANY—1st Sunday, preach ing service, 3:30 p. m.; 3 rd Sun day, 11:30 a. m.

Though Lot's trouble was the fruit of his own sowing, Abraham’s mag nanimity of soul moved him to take up arms and deliver Lot from tho op pressor. While Lot suffered from his selfish choice, Abraham prospered. IV. Abraham’s Faith (Heb. 11:8-10). 1. Its source (v. S). The word of God. Faith takes God at Ilis word. 2. Its practice (vv. 9, 10). Abraham never settled down, even in the land of promise. He was a true pilgrim. lie was content to pass through the land because his eyes were fixed on “a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” V. Abraham Tested (Ileb. 11:17-19). 1. At the command' of God he offered up Isaac (v. 17). He went out from the country in obedience to God. He laid down his son on the altar in obedience to God. 2. The promise of blessing was wrapped up in Isaac (v. 18). The promise involved this particular child, not just any descendant. 3. The supreme venture (v. 19). He so completely trusted God that he went all the way. He believed that God would raise up Isaac from the dead in order to make good His promise.
