THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C ZL* Comet BETTER LATE By EDWARD STEVENSON V V'ELL, I’m certainly glad you’re ’ ^ not seasick. When I first saw you leaning over the rail I said to myself that you must be seasick, though I couldn’t see how anybody could get seasick with the water so calm the way it is. Our room stew ard says that anybody that gets seasick in this kind of weather wouldn't be safe on the lake in Cen tral Park. He’s a regular comedian. . . . And that reminds me, how much do you think I ought to tip him—the room steward, I mean? I’m not one that don’t have to count my pennies, but still I want to do the right thing as to tipping. You see, this is the first time we’ve been on a boat—my wife and me, I mean.'Of course we’ve taken a trip up the Hudson with the kids, but I guess you wouldn’t mention the Hudson River Day Line in the same breath with the S. S. Goliath, would you? The kids thought it was grand, though. They’re grown up and married now, with kids of their own—except Judy, that is, and she hardly had time, not having been married quite a year yet—but it don’t seem more than yesterday that they were running about like a bunch of wild Indians and getting into all sorts of mischief. Time cer tainly flies. Whew! it’s getting hot, isn’t it? We must be coming into the tropics from the way it feels. Ever been down here before, Mr. I don’t think you mentioned your name, did you? . . . Arthur? . . . Well, I’m glad to know you, Mr. Arthur. My name's Bentham. I’d like you to meet my wife some time, too. That’s her laying in that deck chair down at the end. She’s making be lieve she’s reading that book, but she’s sound asleep. The salt air seems to tucker her out. As I was saying, time certainly flies. Now, ybu take me. Why, it seems it’s only the other day that Ellen and me were getting mar ried; and here we are, grandpar ents of six already. We’ve been married thirty-five years. It. don't seem possible, but that’s what it is, all right. Why, say, I can remember- the wedding just as plain as if it happened last week. It wasn’t much of a wedding—you know, no fuss and feathers. Besides Ellen and I and the minister there was only the minister’s wife and the church janitor, for witness. But I can still see the five of us standing there in the chapel, with the sun coming through a high window and falling all around us and turning everything golden. I remember El len specially. She was so pretty and little. When I look back, I think Ellen and I must’a been crazy, getting married the way we did. My gosh, I didn’t have a cent to my name— it was all I could do to scrape up the money for the wedding ring. Engagement rings and honeymoons and all the fixings were out of reach as far as we were concerned. I felt pretty bad, taking her right from church to a $2.50-a-week fur nished room. A wonderful girl like > her deserved better, and I told her so. A big wedding, a reception at the Waldorf—the old Waldorf, you know—and a honeymoon at Niag ara Falls was little enough to her. But she just laughed. “If I wanted such truck,” she says, “I’d’ve mar ried Mr. Astor and not Johnny | Bentham.” That’s the way she is. I ! didn’t mind so much not having a j big church affair, or a reception afterwards, but, gosh, what’s a j wedding without a honeymoon? I : mean, it made me feel kind of low, | not being able to provide even that. You know, marrying Ellen was the making of me. I was just a ship ping clerk at the time, but she made me study bookkeeping and when an opening in the company Well, last year our company did pretty well and they gave all the old employes a month’s pay for a bonus at Christmas — first bonus we’d had in years. So what did I do? Well, I figured with all the kids married and no one to take care of but ourselves, that we didn’t have any real need for the money, so I didn’t breath a word about it to Ellen. You see, I’d been seeing these cruise ads in the papers and I thought to myself that’s just the thing for Ellen and I. Twelve days. Nassau, Jamaica and Cuba. $125 and up. I didn’t say anything till about two weeks before we were to sail. Then I broke the news. Well you could’ve knocked Ellen ^over with a feather. “First thing I knew she threw her arms around me.” came along I stepped right in. I’m head bookkeeper now. Of course that isn’t so much—there’s only one other bookkeeper—but being head of anything is pretty good these days, I always say. A couple of years back when I’d been with the company thirty-five years they put on a dinner for me at Jack Demp sey’s and gave me a watch. Here it is. See what it says. “To John W. Bentham"—that’s my full name— “for thirty-five years of devoted service. Atlas Paper & Supply Co.” Mr. Stover, the president, made a speech. I did too—but I was too choked up to say much. You can bet I’d never’ve stuck around to get that watch if it hadn’t been for Ellen. And the kids, too, of course. When you get to be a family man you. got to tend to business. Kit—that’s short for Christopher — was the first; then Roger, Cynthia, Anthony, and Judy, the baby. Nice names, ain’t they? Ellen picked ’em out. They’re all grown up now—fine young men and women, if I do say so myself—but there was times when you just wondered if they ever would. It was just one thing after another. Sick or healthy, they had you up to your neck in bills. “Johnny Bentham,” she says, “are you out of your mind?” “No,” I says. “And I haven’t robbed a bank, neither.” So I told her all about the bonus. Well, she still thought I was j crazy. “Spending all that money on a little trip,” she says. “Do you think we’re millionaires? Johnny, I’ll never put foot on that boat.” "Now, that’s a fine howdydo!” I says, making out I’m insulted. “A woman refusing to go on a honey moon with her husband!” Well, she just looked at me and I just looked at her, and first thing you know she threw her arms around me and began kissing me, and what did the two of us do but end up laughing and crying like a couple of kids. “Gosh, Mama,” I says. “It’s bet ter late than never, ain’t it?” . . . Say, will you look at them por poises!

Campbell (Dodd, Mead & Co., $4). The origin of the Clan Campbell and the history of Scotland are synonymous and here the author, as a bearer of the famous name, takes the most interesting aspects of each and has woven them into a skillfully drawn account of the Campbells’ hand in Scottish affairs. Liberally illustrated, the book con tains historical Information written in an absorbing narrative form. In every Scotch crisis a Campbell had a responsible role in the ultimate outcome. One of the best chapters in the book concerns the story of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots, on whose side the Campbells re mained loyal with almost disastrous results. The author, an advertising execu tive of Cleveland, O.,. took many pains to bring his readers an ac curate, descriptive history of the Campbells. Not content with a long and diligent research in local li braries, he travelled to Scotland and covered personally the territory about which he writes. While the book is of primary interest to the Campbells themselves, many of whom know nothing of the fascinat ing background of the clan, every individual of Scotch descent and scholars of every nationality will find something appealing in its pages. National Park Ideals National parks in the United States, created by act of congress, are areas of national significance distinguished by superlative natural scenery, set aside for preserva tion as nearly as possible in unim paired condition and dedicated to the use and inspiration of the peo ple. In establishing the Yellow stone, first national park, congress quaintly designated it “a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the peo ple,” and provided against “injury or spoliation of all timber, mineral deposits, natural curiosities or won ders within said park, and their re tention in their natural conditions. In establishing national parks no thought is given to geographic loca tion. The area proposed for national park use is considered primarily from the standpoint of whether or not its principal features are of broad, national interest New Product Keeps Potato Sproutless Problem of Storage Now Aided by New Methods The sprouting, shriveling and sog giness of potatoes when kept at room temperatures now can be pre vented with use of barsprout. The treated potatoes remain firm, prac tically farm-fresh, and not only cook but also taste better. The product is equally effective on cer tain other root crops such as beets, carrots, turnips and rutabagas. The active ingredient is methyl ester of naphthalenes ce tic acid. When applied to the potatoes as a dust, it vaporizes and literally “gets into their eyes,” keeping them from sprouting. Feeding tests Potatoes at right treated with barsprout, left, untreated pota toes; both held under the same conditions. have shown that the chemical im parts no harmful effect. Tests have been conducted for the past five years at leading agricultural exper iment stations. By this treatment the potatoes may be kept at ordinary room tem peratures without sprouting and without formation of reducing sugar. Ordinarily potatoes are held below 45 degrees and shrink 5 per cent in weight, developing reducing sugars which affect color and taste. The Percheron horse originated in La Perche, a province near Nor mandy, France, and was imported into this country in 1839. Readily gaining in popularity in America, it is still the most widely used draft breed in the country. The Percheron is an unusually active horse, but never-the-less is an easy keeper. He is clean-legged, black or dapple-grey and of marked tractability and intelligence.

Hot-Weather Care of Poultry Is Essential Hot weather always brings prob lems of poultry management, but good practices will solve most of them successfully. Feed your flocks freely to keep up high egg pro duction and to keep pullets grow ing rapidly. Have plenty of fresh water available for them at all times. Provide plenty of shade. Make use of good pastures, where possible, to help keep feed costs down. I Economy Note—Corned Beef Pinwheels (See recipe below.) Budget Pointers There’s a tendency to go along with the crowd when it comes to spending money, especially on food, instead of seeing what can be done to stretch the food dollar. Getting the most out of the food dollar does not, fortunately, mean that we have to tighten our belts; it just means a bit of maneuvering. In the midst of soaring food costs, there’s plenty of help for the woman who wants it, and today’s recipes are designed to give you plenty of food for thought. Give your family a change of menu, and give the budget a chance to stay within its limits at the same time. There are several general rules to follow: Buy wisely; don’t overbuy and let food go to waste; serve and cook whatever you have properly, and don’t toss away good left overs. For main dishes you can call on good quality proteins for front line duty; they’re cheaper than the ex pensive cuts of meat and do just as much for you. Macaroni-Cheese Souffle.

MEMORY SELECTION—Better is a little with righteousness than great reve nues without right.—Proverbs 16:8. EDITOR’S NOTE: Lesson subiects and Scripture teats selected and copy righted by International Council of Re ligious Education; used by permission. By WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. A S BELIEVERS in Christ we are responsible not only for the way we earn our living, but for the way we spend what we earn. Of course we must earn our living honestly, but if we spend foolishly that which we have earned, we shall have dissipated much of the effect of our example in earning. Possessions are a trust from God, and we shall have to render an account of our stewardship. 'Just because we have given a certain percentage of our income to Christiata causes is no reason to think we shall meet with divine approbation with regard to our stewardship. If we give a tithe, well and good, but what about the other nine-tenths? Is God pleased with our stewardship there? I. The Vanity of Wealth (Eccles. 5:10, 11). IN ANY study of wealth, it seems *■ necessary to begin with an un derstanding of its limitations. We live in a world in which men fre quently lay great importance on possessions, and indeed, there are many things which wealth can pur chase. On the other hand, there are some things that money cannot buy. And further, we should recog nize that our possessions are not eternal, that they may suddenly fade away. The passage here reminds us of the fact that wealth for wealth’s sake is bound to be a disappoint ment. The man who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, any more than the man who loves pleasure shall be satisfied with pleasure. Augustine was right when he said that man could be satisfied with no less than God himself. Notice how accurately the picture Is drawn. If we have increased wealth, we have increased responsi bility (v. 11). That fact is as un alterable as the most rigid law we know. The only advantage is, as the Preacher expresses it, the behold ing of goods with the eye—not a very great advantage after all. II. The Proper Accumulation of Wealth (Prov. 16:8). I T IS just as true as when Solo mon wrote it, that “Better is a little, with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.” This statement needs no argu ment, needs no proof. If we would have the honor of men, self-respect, and the blessing of God, there is no alternative. III. The Improper Accumulation of Wealth (James 5:1-6). T HE apostle James speaks of a condition that will obtain in the last days (v. 3). There are many evidences that the condition he de scribes has had altogether too many fulfillments in recent history. James excoriates the rich who have defrauded their / employees in order that they might fare sump tuously and live riotously. These un scrupulous rich have taken advan tage because they were not resisted (v. 6). Such wealth is corrupted. Notice once again that the re sult of theft sin will rise to break them. It is a serious thing to trifle with sin, to eat the bread of iniquity. God has no patience with injustice in social relationships. Sooner or later judgment will come. IV. The Proper Use of Wealth (Prov. 11:24-27). T IBERALITY should character- L-f ize the child of God. It is true that the Bible condemns the atti tude of imprudence, yet it also con demns the attitude of the miser. To withhold more than is meet, also tends to want. How blessedly true it is that there is a recompense to giving. Here we read that the one who waters shall himself be watered. Our Lord af firmed the same truth in Luke 6:38. To have it within our power to help, and fail to do so, is to bring upon ourselves censure and con demnation. Therefore, we should seek to perform the good (v. 27). This passage concludes with the statement that one who searches after evil shall find that evil will come to him. The man who sets his heart to do wrong will not have to wait long to find the occasion to do that which is in his heart. Many are the injunctions in the New Testament regarding the proper use of wealth. For example, the Christian has a duty toward his own family (I Tim. 5:8). He is en joined to be sympathetic and gen erous in his giving to help others (II Cor. 8:8-15). Certainly he is to dispense his goods with the glory of God in view (cf. Col. 3:17).
