Mrs. Faneher has taken up
the craze and she goes
our pockets rather systemati-

the little pieces of silver.
We had one that we kept
hid all day Sunday and that
night the happy thought reg-
istered that we’d drop it in
the collection plate at church.
However, four other hen-
pecked husbands must have
been there for Mrs. Faneher,
being treasurer, took ode from
our poekets to redeem five
dimes she found in Sunday
night’s collection.
We are mighty glad to note
that Howard Martin is really
trying to make his Polk Coun-

Devotion For The Week
(by Mrs. W. C. Faneher)
As 1 was meditating on
just what to write for my de-
votion 1 ran across this story,
of that loved old song, “Jesus,
lover of my Soul”. 1 read it
and shall pass it on to you.
Maybe it will refresh you as
much as it (lid me.
Charles Wesley as we well
know, came from a large fam-
ily. He was next to the young-
est, of nineteen children. In
those days I imagine where
there was such a family you
were taught to divide and
in a Christian,
CARMONA NEWS
Those who expressed them-
selves to us last week did not
like the size paper we printed
and we didn’t either.
The idea was to keep from
having to fold in two extra
pages of the regular size pa-
pier and we endeavored to
crowd our ads into eight
pages of a five column sheer,
which could be folded on the
folding machine.
However, the folder did not
feel in the humor to work and
we finally’ had to fold liilisl of
them by hand anyway.

there was tenderness and un-
selfishness. This boy Charles,
was not a strong boyr even tho’
he lived to be an old man. He
was very studious and loved
to write poetry.
lie did not care where he
was, if lie was on a horse, in a
boat or riding in a carriage,
whenever a good thought (W. K. Thomas)
came to him lie would write it If you are interested in get-

And, it was a mess trviiig to

bundle out of the miniature1
newspaper.
Over in the society part of
this sheet will be found a
story about the party that w as
held at the Editorial parson-
age last Friday evening.
It is not our idea to intrude
on the society reporters work
but we find that she failed to
report the real story’ that ap-
peals to our particular fancy.
They served those little
imitation sandwiches (they
call them ‘open face’). You
know what we mean, where
you waste three fourths of the
slice of bread to make a pret-
ty heart shape or a diamond
shape . . . Well, our old horse
“Grandma” got her tummy
full of light bread as the re-
sult of this particular type
sandwich and when the ladies
began to arrive, she took the
job of conducting them from
the front gate to the steps and
when they left she escorted
them from the front steps to
the gate and invited them all
back to our house. Spme of
the ladies were afraid of her
but most of them entered into
the spirit of the occasion.
Mrs. W. J, Morrison, teach-
er at Moscow, seeing the large
number in attendance, hud
some of the older boys to
bring over some of the school’s-
folding chairs. As they left to
go back to school, little Miss
Patsy Jean Walker called to
them to be sure to close the
gate good so that “Grandma"
couldn't get out.
When they got back to
school they asked Miss Callie
in the
on
Mr .'Wesley’s breast, seeming-
ly to say will y’ou take care of
me.
Charles was a very’ tender
hearted man, and he put the
bird under his coat, ami held
his hand over it until the
hawk had gone away.
As this little bird huddled
in Mr. Wesley’s bosom, he
thought of the trouble he
had and how wonderful it
would be to fly into the bosom
of Jesus, just as this little
bird had Gown to his bosom.
So lie decided to write this
song.
“Jesus lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into Thy haven guide,
Oil,receive my soul at last.”
What a secure feeling you
have to know you have Jesus
to fly to with all your burdens
and to know you will find
peace and comfort. This day’
where there is so much strife
and hatred in this world, I
really don’t know how people
find happiness unless they
ask Jesus to walk side by side
with them. I know He does
not answer our prayers all the
time as we want but at the
end it is always the best for
ns if we trust Him.
PRAYER
Our Father who art in
Heaven. We do so thank Thee
for Thy patience and love.
May’ we know that while the
waters roll and the tempest
still is high to Thee we can fly
for refuge.
In Christ’s name we pray.
Amen.

IMPROVE PASTURES WITH
PHOSPHATE & LESPEDEZA
(W. E. Thomas'1
The quality and yield of
pastures and native meadows,
can be greatly increased by
reseeding them with annua!
lespedeza. Pastures will give
more grazing over a period of
time and the protein content
of the folage will be higher.
Native meadow yield and hay
quality will be increased with
higher protein content of the
hay.
For the best results use
Kobe and Korean Lespedeza
as follows; plant Kobe on pas-
tures and meadoivs, and Ko-
rean on meadows only. Broad-
cast 400 to 500 pounds of 20%
phosphate per acre. If ground
is not phosphated lately
add thirty to one hundred
pounds of potash, if desired.
Cut ground with disc or har-
row. Inoculate seed with “L”
