BATTERIES FOR ALL LIGHT CARS $6.65 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE BROAD PHONE UM AUGUST^ GA, Marion 4-H Farming Sets 100% Standard MARION, Jan. 7.—Marion coun ty’s junior farmers enrolled in 4-H agricultural clubs have set the state a fine example in 100 per cent farming, says Dan Lewis, acting state boys’ club agent;' citing the fact that every one of the 107 dem onstrations in cotton, com, tobacco, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and hogs for 1932 was completed* with busi nesslike records ot ^expenditures, returns, and profits; and the fur-! ther fact that for the three previ-! ous years the Marion junior farm- 1 ets have been 100 percenters. Club work data now in the hands pf County Agent W. R. Wells show that the leaders were Robert Ed- • wards with a yield of 55 bushels of # corn per acre; G. A. McIntyre, Jr., 7975 pounds of seed cotton on . five acres; Waldo Herring, tobacco,' 880 pounds per acre; Robey Atkin son, potatoes, 266 bushels per acre; Charlie Daniel, peanuts, 122.4 bush- ! els per acre; Leon Sweat, pig club winner. These Marion 4-H boys grew 117 acres of crops at a total cost of $1,874.09 with a profit of $2,122.40 or an average profit 6f $18.14 per acre. The total value of crops and livestock demonstrations was $4,- 170.71 with a profit of, $2,162.41. . Sixty-nine boys grew 76 1-2 acres of corn which averaged 32.9 bush els per acre. Twelve cotton club members grew 24 acres which aver- 1 aged 454 pounds of lint. Eight boy’s grew seven and one-half acres of sweet potatoes, averaging 199 bushels per acre. Two peanut club members averaged 85 bushels per acre : Seven boys growing tobacco j averaged 761 pounds per acre. Nine boys grew hogs, all of whom made a profit except one boy who lost two cents. x • Carolina Cows Lead fifiUCtBAftTOH ON LIKING PEOPLE CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 7.— That South Carolina breeders of purebred dairy cattle are making on the average larger records for both milk and butterfat production is indicated in results of Advanced Registry testing conducted by the South Carolina Experiment Station in 1932, says Prof. J. P. LaMaster, head of the Dairy Division of the Station. ‘ To carry on this important work toward dairy herd improvement two testers are employed to visit the farms of those breeders who desire their herds tested. These breeders pay all expenses of the work except the salary of the sup ervisor, who is an Experiment Sta tion official. >' • ~ .. Jesus loved to be in the crowd. Apparently he attended all the feasts at Jerusalem not merely as religious festivals but because all the folks were there, and he had an all-embracing fondness for folks. We err if we think of him as a social outsider. To be sure it was the “poor” who “heard him gladly,” and most of his close disciples were men and women of the lower classes. But there was a time when he was quite * the favorite in Jerusalem. The story of his days is dotted with these phrases. . . . “A certain ruler desired him that he should eat with him.” . . . “They desired, him greatly to remain and he abode two days.” . . . Even after he had denounced the Pharisees as “hypocrites” and “chil dren of the devil,” even when the clouds of disapproval were gathering for the final storm, they still could not resist the charm of his pres ence, nor the stimulation of his talk. No other public character ever had a more interesting list of friends. It ran from the top of the social ladder to the bottom. Nicodemus, the member of the supreme court, had too big a stake in the social order to dare to be a disciple, but he was friendly all the way through, and not ably at the end. Some unknown rich man, the owner of an estate on the Mount of Olives, threw it open to Jesus gladly as a place of re tirement and rest. > When he needed a* room for the last supper with his friends he had only to send a messenger ahead and ask for it. Tha request was enough. ; And in the last sad hours, when the hatred of his enemies had completed its work and his body hung lifeless from the cross, it was a rich man named Joseph—a rich man yyho would have sunk into oblivion-like the other rich men of ail the ages except for his one great act of friendship—who begged the authorities for his body, and having prepared it for burial laid it in a private tomb. Such were his associates among the socially elect. ‘ \ What sort of people made up the rest of his circle? All sorts. Pharisees, fisher men; merchants and tax collectors; cultivated women and outcast wo men; soldiers, lawyers, beggars, lepers, publicans and sinners. What a spectacle they must have presented trailing after him through the- streets. But Jesus loved it all—the. pressure of the crowd, the clash of wits, the eating and, the after-dinner talk. When he was criticised because he enjoyed it so much and because his disciples did not fast and go about with gloomy looks, he gave an answer that throws a won derful light upon his'own conception of his mission. “Do the friends of the bridegroom fast wjiile the bridegroom is still with them?” he demanded. . “Not a bit of it; they enjoy every moment of his stay.. I am the bridegroom; these are my hours of celebration. Let my friends be happy with me for the little while that we are togeth er. There will be plenty of time for solemn thoughts after I am gone.” Next Week: A Test of Genius Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Company T THEFAMIEY J0WN JOSEPH,GAINES.M.IX V AS GOVERNORS EAT *} The election year, 1932, brought me some interesting news items. Our state changed governors this year, as did many others. But it is not the political, but the dietary habits that attracted my attention- picked up by the “nosey” reporter for the daily Press. Both incoming and outgoing governors are lawyers; the outgoer is a large-city resident—the incomer is from a small county-seat town —a life resident.

Mark 1:21-34 Golden Text: John 5:17 The verses chosen for our lesson give a swift moving picture, from the graphic -pen of Mark, of a busy Sabbath in the life of Jesus. Thi impression given is one of concentrated power, without haste, without rest. ' Mark is at his best in the nervous rapidity of the narrative. At the beginning, we are told that the Master went to the syna gogue. Such attendance was habitual. (See Luke 4:16.) Now ther? are many people in our day who rather pride themselv.es on the fac: that they no longer attend Church. They feel emancipated. Such folk get no comfort from the example of Jesus, for He went regularly to the house of prayer, even though He must have been greatly boreJ at times, by the sermons He heard. Modern life needs badly the relaxation of spirit .true worship af fords. The tempo, the strain, the social pressure of our time, are s > fierce, that we easily succumb to nervous prostration, or “nervous pro: - > perity,” as Dr. Grenfell calls it. But the Master not only entered the synagogue. He took an activ? part in the worship, charming those present by the beauty of His words. Then Jesus healed an afflicted man, one nervously unstrung.. Whil j few have similar cleansing power, all of us can, as Cardinal Newma.i bids us, be “merciful toward the absurd.” Next the Master went into the home of Peter. There He continued His ministry of healing, curing the apostle’s mother-in-law of a feve Finally, in the evening, a great^crowd gathered at the door and H? was able to comfort and restore many of the sick. What an ideal finish to a victorious day! How beautifully worship and service are blend ed! Here we see the Great Teacher and Physician with all energies released, giving Himself to the full! il *«•
