Woman’s Missionary Society.
The-Woman’s Missiouary So-
ciety of the Methodist church
held a parlor meeting Monday
afternoon at the district parson-
age in honor of Mrs. T. A. Brown
of Austin. Mrs. Brown has held
a high position in the woman’s
work of West Texas for many
years, and is held in high esteem
for her untiring efforts in behalf
of this branch of church work.
The home was thrown open to
the ladies, and quite a number
were present to hear Mrs. Brown
talk on the work—its organiza-
tion and its needs. She empha-
sized the importance of the aux-
iliary as the very heart-beat of
the entire work—nothing else
would exist but for the labor of
the auxiliary. She brought out
the workings of the auxiliary
through each elected delegate up
through the conference to the
council and even to the mission
board of the church. She touched
upon programs, reports, week of
prayer, and other phases of the
work, especially the membership
campaign. The necessity of
meeting pledges and making in-
dividual offerings this year, on
account of floods and war condi-
tions in the southern and west-
ern portions of the conference,
was stressed. Upon the secre-
tary devolves the task of keep-
ing these things before the many
auxiliaries,. either direct, or
through the distriot secretaries.
Mrs. Brown left Tuesday morn-
ing for San Saba.
Mrs. Cowan proved, as usual,
a hospitable -hostess. Assisted
by Mrs. R. S. Mills and Misses
Hazel Martin and Alma Cowan,
an appetizing salad course was
served to those present. X
Farmers are busily engaged in
preparing land for another crop,
some sowing oats and wheat and
others breaking the land so as to
enable it to have all the advan-
tage of whatever fertilizer is on
the ground in a green state. It
is said that weeds which grow
upon the land, if plowed under
before the seeds mature, are
worth more to the land for the
coming year than any fertilizer
that can be used. The weather
Has It Ever Occurred!

RURAL ’PHONE IN OFFICE

Sam Casbeer says he has com-
pleted the planting of his fail oat
crop, and while he does not de-
clare that “it is too late to sow
oats,” he does oongratulate him-
self that his work of this charac-
ter is done, and that his oats are
ready to germinate when there
is more moisture in the- ground.
This Casbeer is recognized as
one of the most successful farm-
ers in the county, and his wife
and daughter always raise a,,
large orop of poultry, whioh they j L
sell only when the price is right, ffrggn
is splendid for this kind of work
the teams are in good condition
and the man who is not busj
otherwise should turn under the
weed and grass crop, so as tc
make his land produce more o:
any crop planted next season
Fall plowing always pays mor<
than it costs in several differeni
returns, not the least of which i£
in keeping the land in propej
condition for the reception of iht
seed.
