the score card \ a " d Z
guests to the card tables, while en
joying a spirited game, Misses Miza
beth, Mabel and Virginia Jones and
Virginia Walton served punch. Mrs.
Joe Scott proved the successful win
ncr of the prize. Hearing the beating
of a drum each one turned to see what
; the new attraction was; it proved to be
the four little punch girls decorated
in flags, with a drum they marched
up to the honoree and announced, Miss
Eva Perkins has been to the sea of
matrimony to join the allied forces of
maintenance. In these days of dis
aster, let Miss Perkins beware of
bombs and submarines. Then the
guest3 were requested to follow the
hostess and Miss Perkins to the par
lor; on entering each one stopped to j
note the beautiful decorations of flags
and war time relics, blended with
magnolia,Cape Jessamine, and Spanish
daggers—the purity of the wax like
flowers and the sadness of the war
time relics touched for a moment a
tender chord in each one's breast,
while admiring the beauty of the sur
roundings. The submarine feeling the
nearness of its destination, floaded in
through the library, and when just in
front of Miss Perkins, Miss Elizabeth
Jones pulled the cord that opened the
submarine and literally encircled Miss
Perkins with beautiful presents. Af
ter each one had admired the presents,
we were ushered to the dining room
which was a dream of beauty. The
large heart-shaped table was decorat
ed in filmy streamers of tulle, calla
lillies, daisies and ferns. A lovely
two-course luncheon was faultlessly
served, after which each guest was al
lowed to roam at leisure over the
home, of which each room was beauti
fully decorated in spring flowers; but
after a few moments of wandering
the piano was heard, and each one
turned their course back to the parlor,
where Miss Edith Cecil Rennie, held
the attention of all, rendering several
beautiful selections, with her soft
melodious voice. The guests from a
distance were Miss Annie Potts, Miss
Meta Perkins and Mrs. Maxwell. At
J the close of this perfect afternoon
reluctant adieu to all»
flowers and ferns, ffinall ta

The combination of these two stand

better balanced proper
tion, will result in a final product
closely approaching the magic figures,
4-11-44, 4 fat, 11 protein, 44 carbohy
drates, nutritive ratio of 1 to 4.8, akin
to the composition of oats, figures
which will appeal to any negro mule
feeder and feed which will appeal to
or
er
urers in even
any mule.
The "Lubbly Seben," or thereabouts,
of digestible protein in corn that the
Southern mule gets, is not enough
protein for good muscle or good work.
The digestible carbohydrate figure of
corn—66-^bums him up under sunny
skies, and needs to be reduced to the

curious chemistry. It is

side.
President Wilson.
The people who raise corn and the
people who raise cottonseed united to
elect the present commander-in-chief
of the U. S. Army and Navy.
He has appealed to both to increase
greatly the food and feed supply for
ourselves and our allies. We should
remain united for this purpose. We
should sacrifice our agricultural prej
udices in view of the nation's need,
already we have sacrifificed old mil
itary prejudices. We should cheer
fully and patriotically obey the com
mander, build high and ever higher
the throne of King Corn, remove the
insect pests from -the . fair

form of Queen Cotjpnseed and foster
a royal, an offensive and defensive'
War Alliance between the two. I sug
gest as a suitable slogan for all honest
farmers and millers for the trying
years before us: President Wilson,
King Corn and Queen Cottonseed!
Wilson, the son of his country, the
father-to-be of the United States of

human race against hunger and fam

the beasts that raise our crops and
the food fuel of man that keeps our
