A Raioy Day Thought.
It rains on the just and on the
unjust. The showers that make
the desired crops grow, also
make the weeds grow. There is
a suggestion in this as to what
constitutes right and wrong. The
stronger plants outgrow the
weaker, and if our farms are
filled with rank week seed, it is
but natural that the better we
make conditions for growing of
crops, the better will the weeds
grow.
Looking into the lives of men,
we see a striking analogy to farm
crops, the results in both instan
ces depending on the seed. If
in our lives the weed seed3 are
the stronger, the very civiliza
tion that favors the growth of
the gocd will only hasten the
bad. because the greater a bad
man s mteligence, the greater
his power for evil.
Tbe Philadelphia Record.
Good fiction appeals to the
whole family and there are
scores of other features in "The
Sunday Record" that help to ac
count for its eager reception in
cultivated homes. Its depart
ments devoted to sport3, fashions,
domestic science, society, music
and the drama, invention, art,
the school and the nursery, set
the standard in their respective
fields. Its varied appeals to the
serious and the humorous side of
life interest young and old of
both sexes. The addition of its
new story section makes "The
Philadelphia Record" a complete
Sunday newspaper.
A Modern Version.
A Long Island teacher was re
counting the story of Red Riding
Hood. After describing all the
woods and wild animals that
flourished therein, she added:
"Suddenly Red Riding Hood
heard a great noise. She turned
about, and what do you suppose
she saw standing there, gazing at
her and showing all its sharp,
white teeth?"

Here are some clippings from
the Oklahoma Farmer John
Fields, editor. Contrast them
with eastern notions of farming.
"Buy a cow, a sow, a dozen
hens and a rooster."
The Oklahoma legislature is
struggling with the question of
usury. Mr. Fields says "If not
a single farmer in Oklahoma dur
ing the next thirty daya -would
agree to pay more than 10 per
cent annual interest, there would
be no usury question."
"George Wood and Son grew
1,800 bushels of peanuts in 1915
on S3 acres, at a total cost of 13
cents a bushel."
"Early sown oats make the
best of early hog pasture."
"A new way of killing gophers
and prarie dogs is to run the ex
haust of your automobile in the
runways for about two minutes
then plug the hole."
"One hundred and fifty styles
of saddles in stock" is part of a
Texas dealer's advertisement in
that big paper.
"Plant a patch of peanuts.
They are a sure feed crop of
great value where there is no al
falfa." Eddie Did What He was Told.
"Eddie," said a mother, "I
wish you would run over and see
how old Mrs. Smith is. She has
been quite ill."
In a few minuter Eddie came
running back and reported; "She
said it was none of your busi
ness."
'Why, Eddie !" said the as
tonished mother. "What did
you ask her?"
'Just what you told me to,"
replied the little innocent. "I
told her you wanted to know how
old she was." ,

SAFETY FIRST.
It is not wise to keep money about the house or on your person for a
single night and thus be in constant danger of losing it. Do not wait until
you have accumulated a large sum of money, but come to the FULTON
COUNTY BANK and open an account with the amount you now have on
hand, You can get it at any time you need it, and if left six months will
pay you 3 per cent.
