JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, SYLVA, N. C. 4 PI cei ck, It 01 it A . PI - ' r . :' The Farmer Receives More Than Five Thousand Dollars a Minute From Swift & Company This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. . All this money is paid to the farmer through the open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so? and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

That After Effect. (From the observations of a cynic.) I saw a dog after a cat.' I saw a cat after a rat. I saw a young man after my daughter. I saw my neighbor after the almighty dollar. I looked at the infinitesimal bit of change I received from that same dollar after buying a dozen eggs. I heard the plaint of the wife after her husband got home at 2 a. m. I heard one of these after-dinner speakers. I am fed up on this after-the-war stuff. I heard of a workman after higher wages. The preacher tries to scare me about this after-life. I saw a boy take after his father. I saw another fellow after my job and I sawT a chap the morning after the night before. I don't need to see the kaiser after the war to convince me that this life is just one blankety blank thing after another. Indianapolis Star.

The book from which the next eight lessons are taken is a continuation of the story of the chosen people. Its central theme is redemption the de liverance of Israel from bondage and their separation unto God. The ques tion of relationship from Egyptian bondage is a type of our own redemp tion from sin's bondage (I Corinthians 5:7). Pharaoh represents the devil, and Egypt the world. I. The Increase of the Chosen Seed (1:7). After Joseph's death Israel quickly grew into a nation. This increase was the fulfillment of Genesis 35 :11, which promise was repeated to Jacob just be fore going into Egypt (Genesis 46:3). ,.If it be the problem of how a little com pany of seventy persons could become an host of six hundred thousand men in so short a time, let us remember that God promised it, and all difficul ties will vanish. There is a time com ing when there shall be another amaz ing increase, in Israel (Ezekiel 36:10, 11, 37, 38; 37:26). II. A New Dynasty (1:8-10). Joseph's elevation in Egypt was dur ing the reign of the Hyksos kings. Be ing of Semitic origin they were not hostile to the Hebrews, but when there "arose up a new king which knew not j Joseph" (v. 8) the amazing growth of j the Israelites excited his envy and fear (vv. 9, 10). This fear was two- j fold: (1) In case of war they might j join the enemy and fight against them, j (2) Lest they should remove from the land, thus cutting off a vital source of revenue and exposing to danger the j eastern border of the land. ! III. Measures to Check the Growth of Israel (1:11-22). : These measures place on exhibition the folly of worldly wisdom (1 Corin- thians 3:19). Their fatal mistake was that they left God out of their calcula- : tions. God had promised that Israel : should be great in numbers and mighty in power. He who plans against God shajl miserably fail and shall be shown to be a fool. 1. Cruel Taskmasters (vv.' 11-14). They were placed under heavy bur den. Cruel taskmasters were placed over them who fovted them to labor in building treasure cities and all man ner of service in the field. This meas ure was ineffectual, for "the more they afflicted them, the more they multi plied and grew." This rapid growth resulted in more intense burdens being heaped upon them. 2. Murder of Male Infants by the Midwives (vv. 15-21). This measure also miscarried, as the midwives feared God and chose to obey him. Be cause they refused to destroy God's people he gave them homes and chil dren and the joys thereof. 3. Drowning of Male Children in the River (v. 22). In order to make this measure effective all the people were I changed with the responsibility of cast- ! ing the Hebrew male children into the I Important to Mothers Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, that famous old remedy for infants and children, and see that it Do you feel tired and "worn-out?"

This plan likewise was foiled, and the very child who when a man upset his throne, was sheltered and nurtured in his own palace. IV. The Birth and Education of Moses (2:1-8). The measure which was designed to destroy the Hebrew menace, also brought to Pharaoh's palace and edu cated there' the very man who after ward shattered the Egyptian power and set free the enslaved people. The faith of Moses' parents caused them to ignore the command of the king and hide him for three months (Hebrews 11:23). Faith In God is the antidote for fear (Psalms 27:1). His mother discerned in him a proper child, or a child fair to God (Acts 7:20), and be lieved him to be the deliverer of his people. She no doubt Instilled this truth in his mind from his childhood. Perhaps led by the story of Noah's ark she made an ark of bulrushes and placed Moses in it and left it at the place where Pharaoh's daughter would be attracted when she came down to bathe. Miriam, his sister, was placed where she could watch the affair. She came with a suggestion at the oppor tune moment as to a nurse for the baby. Education at his mother's knee gave character, and education at the Egyptian court qualified him to be the historian and lawgiver of his people.

Agricultural Experiment Station, says: "The lac of Potash with us has been shown especially in cotton, tobacco and potatoes in Coastal plain sections. This has been especially true of cotton and potatoes, more potash having been used on tobacco, relatively, than on these two crops." Dr. H. W. BARRE, director ofS. C. Agricultural Experiment Station, says: "I will say that a survey recently made of the cotton situation in South Carolina leads us to be lieve that at least 25 reduction in the cotton crop has resulted this year from lack of potash. In some cases not more than half a crop has been produced on light land that is very deficient in potash. The appearance of the plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased yield. We are, therefore, recommending that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertilizers for cotton next year. At the usual rates of application 1 feel that it will pay to use as much as 3 of potash at the present prices.' Enquire of Royster Dealers. Place orders early. F. S. ROYSTER GUANO CO. NORFOLK, VA.
