The gold investor will always be ready to expend monies wherever he can see visible results.

So it should be with a community, county, state and nation. There is a big wave of get-to-getherism" spreading all over the civilized world to day, and the farmer has not been immune to the fever. The county, state and nation together with our local farm organization known as the Sumter County Farm Bureau have all been spending some funds to carry on this so called GET-TOGETHER-ISM among the farmers of this county. It is therefore fitting that the taxpayer shall gaze in retrospective view the achievements, if any, of this would be helpful work. In an organized way, this work be gan in Sumter in January, 1921, which is nearing its eighteenth month of existence.

For brevity, let us itemize a few of the projects attempted and note their successes. Item A. $2000 saved on fertilizers in 1921. Item B. $3000 saved on fertilizers in 1922.

Item C. $5000 saved on fertilizers for year 1923 according to contracts already arranged for. Item D. $70,000 farm commodities handled co-operatively in 1921, result ing in a saving to the farmers of at least 10 per cent, or $7,000. Item E.

$250,000 worth of farm com modities now under binding legal con tract, 1922, based on ten years average production for Sumter County. Of this not less than' 10 per cent will be saved -to growers, or $25,000. Item E. Reduction in express rates per package of truck crops to Cincin-natti and other northern markets of 20 cents will mean saving of many thousands of dollars to growers next season. This was accomplished through signed contracts of 130 growers in Sumter County through their electee! sales managers, Messrs.

Vaughan at Cuba, and Coleman at Livingston. The above items total a net saving of $42,000 to Sumter County farmers, in which total benefits over 5000 will have participated.

There are good men and bad men in all communities, but it is only cities wherV the gocd outweighs the bad that are- really worth while. A little safe-analysis will help you a lot. Make up your mind that yqu will strive to be jiot only a better citizen for your own sake, but for the.

sake; of the i feity in which you live. RsaJ estate and ch; this office. jtifl" York, Ala. MM MH 1 THE LOVE. OF GOD TAKES YOU CARE OF At home, at school, at work, at play, Wherever I may go or stay, These words I always seem to see, 'The love of God takes care of me.

It's easier to do right things When something in me sings and sings For then I hear as well as see, 'The love of God takes care of I often listen for that song, When something tempts me to the wrong, For I am safe as I can be, If love is taking care of me. When all about me is the night, If clouds are dark or stars are bright, Across the sky I seem to see, 'The love of God takes care of me. If some one else is lone and sad, It always helps to make him glad, To say, 'Don jt let yourself be' blue, The love of God takes care of you When Jesus said that God takes care, To number every little hair, I'm sure he meant that, great or small, The love of God takes care of all.
