AN AMl’SINCI story of how Sunta
Onus frightened the black chll-
drvn at a mission station when he
first appeared to them a few yeurs
ago Is told by the wife of a mission-
ary stationed at Bulluwla Africa
They had celebrated Christmas at Bal-
lumlu before but they never had hml
Santa Clnus so Sir Stover the mfs-
slotiary dressed up as good Saint Nick
"He had been padded and powdered
and packed until his own mother
would not have known him" Mrs
Stover afterward related "1’reseutly
we gave the signal the door flew open
and In walked Santa Claus Hut dear
me! What consternation! lie was
greeted with shrieks and groans and
cries cf ‘Let me out! It Is the evil
one It Is the day of Judgment!’
"The urchins catching the Infec-
tion of terror from the older black
H‘ople fled to their bedrooms fe’l
down upon their faces crept under
they stoutly affirmed that this
IS 8 cotton countrj and W ould never had such a greeting before As
not produce corn The objec- soon as he realized the panic he had
tions were abundant but inef- caused he tore otr hi aii hat and
fectual The bankers were ob- white cotton beard Then from the

on down the scale of complaints others sought to find some place about
Our farmers are not accustomed I their seunty clothing where they could
to and do not want to make any tow away their bunch of bread Si
such wise provision for the fu-
ture as that lie wants to gam-
ble on each year’s crop being j
enough to supply the needs of
the following year
r But he has got his corn and
can’t sell it It is not a money
crop It was not intended that
he should use it for self-protection
Next year It is certain he
won’t have money enough to
buy com and run his plantation
He says but at the present price
of com I can buy it cheaper than
I can store True but he has’nt
got the money to buy at any
price And then — if he had to
buy corn and transport it from
the northern fields he would
find the price delivered to him
plus transportation charges a
very serious item in his farm
economy
Over a year ago we were at
a gathering of planters and
farmers far above the average
in intelligence and one of the
things emphasized in discussion
was that the “farmer was not
considered a business man”
That a gathering was always
spoken of as a “gathering of bu-
siness men and farmers” Well
this is rather an invidious dis-
tinction but is not the farmer
himself the basis of it? Today
he has got a good start with
his barns full of hay and corn
but if the truth were known he
is looking unfavorably to the! We offer you 38c per pound
