Mrs. J. W. Wilson and two daugh-

and Mrs. C. A. Wilson.
Thomas Carlyle was the originator
of the term “The Unspeakable Turk.”
It occured in an article written by
him before he attained fame.
Here is an example of honesty that
should appeal to every right thinking
man who reads it. During the drouth
last year a wholesale house in San
Marcos sold a bill of goods to a Mexi-
can who runs a little store not far
from this city in the country district.
Often the Mexican had bought small
bills from the wholesale firm and it
was the custom for him to carry some
of his goods home in his wagon and
the remainder would be delivered by
the firm as they were making their
diliveries in the country district. On
this occasion the Mexican bought a
sack of beans. He loaded the beans
on his wagon and took them home.
But on the checkup on the order the
beans were marked to be delivered by
truck, so it followed that two sacks
of beans were , delivered to the coun-
try merchant with the wholesale
house utterly unaware that a mistake
had been made. The drouth kept on
and the old Mexican got sick. He re-
mained ill for several months and his
business went down. But only a few
days ago he appeared at the office of
the wholesaler with six dollars and
told them he had come to pay for the
extra sack of beans they had by mis-
take delivered to him over a year ago.
They tried to get him to keep half
the money but he insisted that it was
not his, and that he wanted to do the
right thing. It was the first time he
had been able to come to town and
probably the first money he had been
able to get and he simply did the H
honest, honorable thing, and gave to j

God is always at home. He will be
ready to receive you the moment you
desire to call on Him. There is no
need to knock at the door, for the
moment you are willing to talk to
Him, he comes to greet you, and
there you see Him with an eager look
on His face waiting to give you a
hearty welcome. The moment you
enter His house you are made to feel
at home. When you look into His
face you can see the light of happi-
ness, because He has been waiting
for you, and you have relieved His

It is facinating and
alluring. And when you have told
Him all that is in your heart He re-
plies to you in such a wonderful way
that you leave the table strengthened
and feeling better for your visit.
Of course, God does invite you to
call again; but once you have called
you feel so well acquainted that you
do not wait for another invitation,
but you run in at any moment of the
day, and you always find your Host
happy to see you. Many of us have
had disappointing experiences at
banquets, but there never was a man
who was disappointed with God’s
prayer banquet. God is always with
him at the table,—Texas Christian
Advocate.

Nearly every farmer hates bugs
and generally speaking they have
good grounds for their hatred, but
there are bugs that help farmers.
Take the lady bug for an example.
This little spotted insect consumes,
plant lice, that suck the juices out of
the vegetable growth, and are of un-
told benefit to the farmers.
Certain other bugs fly from flower
to flower and join the male and fe-
male elements, thus fertilizing the
bloom and making the fruit possible.
The potato bug is generally known
all over the United States as a great
pest and destroyer of the Irish pota-
to and now Don B. Whelan, Entomo-
logist of the University of Nebraska,
tells of the discovery of a little bug
known as the potato bettie destroyer.
He says that for over a half decade
this insect has become more and more
numerous and is now quite widely
distributed, in fact in some sections
it has almost completely kept the po-
tato bug under control. These little
insects attack the larvae of the pota-
tobeetle, piercing their bodies with
their mouths and sucking out the
body juices. The adult potato bugs
are also attacked as well as the lar-
vae.
This farmer’s friend is a sucking
insect belonging to the stinkbug fam-
ily. Nearly all of this family are
beneficial to the farmer.
Now the growers of Irish potatoes
should greet with pleasure this little
bug and should learn that practically
every injurious insect has its natural
enemy and that some bugs do help
the farmer.
It is an undisputed fact
that nickels, dimes, or dol-
lars will buy more at Self-
Serving than at stores where
a credit and delivery tax is
added to selling prices.
Most folks of the inland states
know about the use of the earth
worm as fish bait, and the United
States Department of Agriculture
tells how these worms are sometimes
grown under controlled conditions for
this purpose.
Earth worms multiply by produc-
ing eggs laid in little capsules in the
ground. The worms become full
grown in four or five months. One
method of growing is to sink a box
not less than 18 inches deep into the
soil in a shady spot. The top of the
box is hinged or removable and plac-
ed two or three inches above this sur-
face. The soil with which the box is
nearly filled may be a rich dark loam
kept quite moist but not too wet. The
department suggests the easiest way
to collect foundation stock is by the
use of a flashlight or lantern on hu-

pany.
mid evenings, as at that time
worms may be found upon the
face of ground which has been
voted for’some years to lawn or sod.
Some raisers of lumbricus, which is
its scientific name, feed him by
spreading ordinary molasses on one
side of a gunny sack which is then
laid on the surface of the ground
with the sticky side down. The back
of the bag is sprinkled with water.
Sometimes powdered bread crumbs
and crumbled hard boiled eggs are
used.
Probably no better device for get-
ting nominations has been hit upon
than being dry in dry counties and
wet in wet ones.—Columbus Ohio

refreshing that one can never forget
them. Some of us can look back and
call to mind the many sunrise prayer
meetings we have visited, and how
God came down and prepared a table
for us, and the wonderful time we
had together. But the great joy in
being at the banquet lies in the fact
that God Himself is at the head of
the table. When you take a look at
Him your soul swells up within you.
His presence scatters all the darkness
and gloom. Everywhere there is
wonderful light. He is ready to ex-
tend His hand in blessing.

At their recent regular meeting
the Board of Regents of the Uni-
versity of Texas recommended to the
legislature the re-establishment of
the department of journalism of
.that institution on a broader scale
than it formerly occupied. Although
teaching of journalism as a depart-
ment of the College of Arts and Sci-
ences of the University was discon-
tinued a year ago, all of the courses
continued to be taught as a part of
the curriculum of the School of Busi-
ness Administration of the Univer-
sity, and they will be given again
this year.
