G. Mont Adams has just
sold his cotton for an average
of 15 l-4c a pound. That is
front-page news. But an item
to the effect that G. Mont
Adams of Tyler, Texas, lives
at home—an item stating sim-
ply that, now, would be laugh-
ed off the front page. And
yet because Mr. Adams lived
at home and raised his living
there he was able to sell his
cotton when he pleased. He
could have kept it thirty years,
if he1 had wanted to do it. He
could have piled it up in one
corner of his farm and have set
fire to it without feeling the
pangs of hunger or of roof or
clothing. In short, he was in-
dependent of cotton. And
for that reason cotton served
him.
Every farmer in Texas, al-
most, has to decide whether
cotton shall serve him or he
shall serve cotton. Mont
Adams makes his living from
other products of the farm, and
his cotton is surplus. Because
it will keep; he warehouses it
when he chooses. He sells
when he gets a good price for
it. It cost him 8 l-2c a pound
to produce. He knows to the
fraction of a cent just what it
Icost him. He keeps books
just like any other business
man. Maybe he doesn't pur
sue the best auditing techni-
que. But he knowsi where the
money goes and where it comes
in.
Because Mont Adams knew
just where he stood and had
enough to live on without his
cotton, he was/in position to do
as he pleased. He could ware-
house it himself, if he liked.

retary, charter member, stock-
holder and investigation com-
mittee on "What's the Matter
With Farming," Mr. Adams
takes the chair, recognizes him-
self, hears the report which he
reads to himself and writes
down in the minutes that
nothing is the matter with
farming—provided the farmer
isn't farmed too much himself.
If he lives at home on the pro-
ducts of his own farm the rest
Is not easy—but it is perfectly
possible. Mr. Adams has proved
it.—Dallas Farm News.

STRANGE PRAYERS
The following is recorded of
negro preacher who prayed
thus: "Oh, Lawd. give thy
servant dis mawnin' de eye of
the owl; connect his soul wid
de gowspel telephone in de
central skies; luminate his
brow wid de light ob hebin;
overrun his mind wid de rivuh
of love fuh de people; terpen-
tine his imagination; grease
his lips wid gospel oil; loosen
his tongue wid de sledgeham-
mer of thy powah; lectrify his
brain wid lightning of de holy
wurd; store,up a cyclone in his
lungs; roll the thundeah of
feah into his voice; fill him
plum full ub de dynamite uv
thy glory; noint him all ovah
wid de kerosene uv thy salva-
tion and sot him on fiah."
Another colored brother is
reported thus:
A dignified Negro devine,
pastor of a popular church, vis-
ited his old home in Looly Co.,
Ga., recently and was invited
to preach on Sunday at the lo-
cal church. After such a ser-
mon as only a Negro can de-
liver, he called on one of the
old deacons, who had known
him in childhood, to lead in
prayer, and the, latter closed
his petition as follows:
"Oh, Law J, gib dis pore
brudder de eye ob de eagle dat
ke spy out sin afar off. Glue
■Ml!JMa6f!Ato-de gospel plow.
ThTFis tongue to de plowline of
tru^e, and his yeah to de wi'less
telefoam pole of salvation. Bow
his head 'way down in re nar-
rer, dark valley, we'ere much
prayer is wanted; den Oh,
Lawd, 'noint him wif de kero-

LOANS ON VET-
ERANS' COMPEN-
SATION CERTIFICATES
I am receiving inquiries
about loahs on veterans' com-
pensation certificates. An act
specially authorizing the grant-
ing of such loans by the Vet-
erans' Bureau passed the House
of Representatives during the
recent session but died in the
Senate.
The Veterans' Bureau is ar-
ranging to grant, on and af-
ter April 1, 1927, one-year
loans on these certificates for
about 9 per cent of their face
value at the expiration of two
years from the date of issuance,
at about 6 per cent interest.
The loan value increases as the
certificates get older.
The loans will be made from
the Regional Offices of the
Veterans' Bureau of the dis-
tricts in which the applicants
reside; and from the hospitals
where they are receiving treat-
ment. Blank note forms with
pointed JMstrucftions ' will! /be
obtainable at local post offices.

is not the case. The heart mere-

the arteries, veins and lungs.
