The Pastoral Parson 
(CoBtinued from page 791) 
complain of the number of sm.all stones 
there were on this piece, and it worried 
him. So when Daddy got home he went 
lip to the lot to see how they had gotten 
along, and their little cart was full. 
Trying To Foreclose. —The Parson 
read in the paper only last night of fore¬ 
closure proceedings against a back-to-tln*- 
land family down county. He was down 
there, only last week. The man and oldest 
girl are working in town and the mother 
and oldest hoy have been burning char¬ 
coal this Spring to get along. The man 
and girl Avill stop here to-night on their 
eight-mile walk liome, and the Parson’s 
old car will give them a big boost. It is 
too much for the girl after working all 
day. Perhaps they will be jiried off that 
place, hut the I’arson doubts it very 
much. lie is in the tight for them, and 
there will be a merry time before this 
man packs up. 
The Peeden Place Woman. —The 
Peeden place woman was along the other 
day and the Parson took her out .some 
extra pea seed that be had. While Mrs. 
I'arsoii went in to fit her out with a 
Summer hat he took the picture. This 
is the boy that got the sled, and her hus¬ 
band is still on crutches. “How do your 
young steers work?’’ asked the Parson. 
“Oh, we get along line. This hoy drives 
them, and I hold the plow. Resides the 
other stuff we have 12 bushels of pota¬ 
toes planted.” How hard this little 
woman works and how cheerful she keeps 
through it all. Next trip in she will 
bring the I’arson some Lima beau poles 
and pea brush. 
The Sunday Sermon. —The mail has 
just been brought in and I find a pro¬ 
gram for onr ministers’ rural conference 
iit Storrs (’ollege. The Parson is down 
to lead a conference on the sermon in 
the country church. No doubt the Par¬ 
son’s sermons are as dry as anybody’s, 
hut he has some ideas of what use such 
occasions might hi made. He was in for 
Helping Daddy 
the morning service of a typical country 
church the other Sunday. A go(xi old 
friend, the head deacon, was there with 
his family on the main aisle. The Par¬ 
son Avas invited to a scat on the plat¬ 
form so he could see all. The sermon 
started out with a lengthy discussion of 
the various texts and renderings of a cer¬ 
tain passage. The St. .Tames version 
said so and so and the revised Aversion 
said so and so, and ilie Greek verb was 
an aorist and meant a slnide different 
from either. I noticed before he got 
through Avith this that good farmer dea¬ 
con’s breath Avas getting mighty regular, 
and Mrs. Deacon aagis looking nervous 
like. Tlien I noticed his eyes Averc get¬ 
ting heavy. Heavy is no word for this 
feeling, llow have we not suffered from 
this Aveight of the eyelids! That heavy 
black Sunday suit Avas telling on hini, 
too. Mrs. Deacon did what she could 
Avith A’arious niulgings, hut it was no 
use. Six days had he worked and Avorked 
hard and Sunday he Avould rest—and 
rest he did. 
A Vain Effort. —The preacher must 
have seen him sleeping souiidly and may 
have been a little piqued, for he grcAV 
noisy and brought doAvii his fist with a 
smart thud on the pulpit. Still to no 
purpose, and he gave up the attempt. 
Not till the collection Avas duly an¬ 
nounced and a feiirful thrust in the side 
Avas administered by Mrs. Deacon did 
those eyelids open, and half-dazed he 
pulled himself out of his seat into the 
aisle and started for the collection box . 
ITe Had Good Company. —And this 
makes the Par.son think of that story 
about Henry Ward Beecher. He was 
preaching at a revival and had asked the 
people of various inclinations and desires 
to stand. Due man ’Avay back in the 
church never budged. The saved might 
stand, but he still sat. Those who 
Avanted to be saved, those who were in¬ 
different, still. Mr. Beecher could not 
raise him. At last he Avas forced to the 
extreme terrible question—those Avho 
Avant, prefer, are anxious to go to the bad 
place and stay there forever and ever, 
stand up. This last eommand with a 
shout. The man heard the last two 
Avords and sprang to his feet, for he had 
long been asleep. Mr. Beecher calmly 
faced him and begged him to realize the 
fearfiilness of that to which his standing 
pledged him. ^ “Is that so?” he said 
solemnly. “Well, pard, Ave’re in the same 
joat. You and I are the only ones 
standing.”

I Get the Most Out of 
I Your Acres | 
I TT is the patriotic duty of every farmer this year and next to | 
I X plant every acre possible to supply food for the world. | 
1 To get the biggest crops the fertility of the soil must be kept up. Barn- | 
= yard manure must be depended upon to do it. But the manure must be | 
^ properly stored. When piled on the ground manure loses a lot of its value | 
M by the draining away of the liquids. Rains wash it, or it frequently “fires” | 
M because of lack of moisture. | 
I Build a Concrete Manure Pit | 
1 Manure will keep without loss of fertilizing value in a concrete manure I 
1 pit. The liquid manure is saved. Nothing is wasted. The labor of handling | 
E is very much reduced. | 
1 Concrete is used for great reservoirs and tanks which must be moisture- | 
E proof. That’s why it’s best for similar farm uses. | 
1 Concrete manure pits can be easily and cheaply built with ordinary farm I 
1 labor. All you need is sand, pebbles and Portland cement. Our free, illus- I 
^ trated booklet No. 142 will tell you how to make one. Write for it today. |
