Israel’ ffistory. Lesson for $en*ember 26: leronomy 11:13-25.* ; Golden Text: Proverbs 14:34. Having followed Israel’s history in the Exodus, we maV now con sider its abiding values. For the purpose we study a portion of Deuteronomy, which contains the farewell addresses of Moses and repeats much found in preceding hooks. Men should be good not primar ily* for reward, but the Bible iS fill ed with assurances that God will care for those who do his will '— that they have all to gain and nothing to lose. Moses promised his people material blessings, but solemnly warned them of disaster if they should turn from God to idols. They were told to lay up the words of God in their hearts, to talk of them with their children— In their homes and when they walked abroad. In simpler days of our country parents and their chilirer were together more and* Christian parents did talk with! their children of the things" of I God. It would be well for us to xeturn, in this respect, to the customs of other days. In the time of Christ the Pharisees were carrying out the command of Moses literally—wearing frontlets muA else. The important tiling is .that the words of God be writ ten in the heart. Further, Moses promised nation al. blessing — nations would be driven out before the Israelites, not a man would be able to stand against them. But this greater promise depended upon their cleaving unto God. Ofttimes the Israelites departed from God and hi all their history they never attained unto the full scope of the promise. For our nation the j great lesson of abiding value is I well expressed in the words of the Golden Text. It’ll cost you an extra MOO Bond to County Timber Op- i erators And Own- - ers To Receive Increased Assistance TCie lumber industry, according fo the concerned government a- gencies, both military and civilian, has become the nation’s number 1 critical industry from the standpoint of production of war veeds. To further the industry’s efforts to meet huge war de mands, lumber ceiling price and ' wage increases have recently been allowed and a Timber Production War Project has been established by the U. S. Forest Service, for and at the request of the War Production Board, to assist op erators and timber owners. An announcement recently by L. O. Barrett, Project Forester of the TWPW for this district, states that it will be served by two full-time men with head quarters in Room 144, Post Of- flc® Building, Greenwood. The district includes upstate South Carolina down to ’ Edgefield. Salu da, Newberry, Fairfield, and Lan caster counties. Mr. Barrett, for merly District Ranger of the Long Cane Division of the Sumter Na tional Forest, is in charge and will be assisted by W. Conley Henry of Mountain Rest, S. C. The district officers are in posi tion to assist in problems of tim ber supply and, to some extent, labor. Priority difficulties will be handled through S. L. Harlow, WPB Lumber Advisor. Specialists will investigate ceiling prices in relation to production costs as it becomes necessary and. in general, assistance designed to increase the production of timber products will be offered to the lumber and related industries. Of the 1485 sawmills in South Carolina, 711 are located in *he 18 counties comprising this dis trict. Of these, 120 mills did not operate at all in 1942 and only 102 mills produced 1,000,000 or more board feet each. The 1942 production in this district was a- bout 25 per cent of the state total and in order to meet abso lutely essential war needs it must be at least as high in 1943. De clining output so far this year makes it necessary that every possible step be taken to increase the present production rate. j In his announcement, Barrett urges that owners of merchant able timber get In touch with the nearest county agent or state or federal forest official. Within the limits of the men available ad vice and help to prevent over-1 cutting of timber stands and to prepare suitable cutting contracts t will be furnished where desired by such owners. He also urges that the general public cooperate! fn alleviating this serious lumber) by conserving construc ts;^: c.:zd maintenance lumber in- 1 l • •; RTS AN AMERICAN SOLDIER; f A \ * • - i*. , Some day, if God is with him, he'll come home.

X Saving The Pigs Saves Feed Too Saving pigs from the ravages of disease has a double value—it saves the value of the feed con sumed as well as the value of thr pigs, says Dr. G. W. Anderson associate animal pathologist of the South Carolina Experiment Station. Data compiled by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, based upon actual records of hogs pro duced on a typical farm for a period of five years, show that the feed requirement is c’unul- five from the time the sow is bred through the entire life of the pig. Each pig farrowed dead repre sents a feed loss of 140 pounds. Each pig farrowed alive but 'T j} f v- 4 -v* “ weeks of age) loses 120 pounds mo • ’ A pig that dies eight weeks af ter weaning (18 weeks of age) represents about 100 pounds ad ditional feed loss, making a to tal of 360 pounds. During the next eight-weeks period feed consumption amounts to 242 pounds, and the final fat tening period of eight weeks re quires about 388 pounds, making an aggregate of 990 pounds ot feed, the total feed loss when a hog ready for market dies of disease, as many of them do. “This loss of almost one-half ton of feed, along with the edible carcass, is not ‘peanuts’ to the owner or to the Food for Freedom program,” says Dr. An derson.
