THE MISSING WORD.
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTIONS
NEW CONTEST!
The Sentence Seems Quite Plain, but
Presents an interesting Problem.
Try Your Hand.

The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ca,
has announced its sixth consecutive miss
ing word contest, commencing on the lst
of November and closing on the lst OF
January, period of about two months.
The book containing the missing word
has been sealed up and placed in the
hands of W. A. Hemphill, the president
and business manager of the company.
It is standard publication and has prob
ably been widely read throughout the
South.
The amount offered in prizes is 10 per
cent of the subscriptions received from
contestants; there are about sixteen thou
sand subscribers expiring with The Con.
stitution during November and Decen Der,
and should all of these renew, the sum
will be about 81 800 to be divided In ad-
dition to whatever the 10 per cent will
make The Constitution offers SlOO cash to
90 to the first six correct guesses: $50 for the
first correct guess received and SlG each
for the next five that are correct, provided
these a'e received before December lst.
If only one person should name this miss.
ing word he would have good sum.
In it's first missing word contest The
Constitution paid the whole amount to one
successful contestant, Mr. NJ. L. Britain,
81, ,O33.5O; it may be that only one person
will name it this time; the period of the
wear compares exactly with Mr.. Brittain's
contest, and We understand he will not be
allowed to guess any more, and should
only one man get the word right this
time, it would disbar him from guessing
thereafter.
This is the sentence:
"Once given the passion for - that
one of the precious metals will be most In
demand which Is cheapest" :"
The readers of our paper who subscribe
Jointly to it and The Weekly Constitution
have free access into the sixth contest,
lust opened; and it may be that some OF
them will get the amount to be distributed
on the 1st Of January.
The only condition of the contest is that
| every guesser must be subscriber; and
taxing advantage Of The Constitution g
offer we present this opportunity to all
who wish to subscribe to both papers.
Every person should have his County pa.
| per and one great general newspaper and
| The Weekly Constitution, with circula-
tion of $4,000, occupies the unique dis
tinction of being the greatest American
weekly newspaper.
By special arrangement with The Week
| ly Constitution, that great paper and the
Anderson Intelligencer can be obtained
| for one year at almost the price of one pa
per, the price of the two being only 1928.
Not only that, but under our arrangement
with The Weekly Constitution every per.
son who takes advantage of this clubbing
proposition, subscribing for both papers,
will be entitled to guess at the missing
word. All clubbing subscriptions should
be sent to this paper with each subscrib-
er's guess at the missing word plainly
written. The guess and the name and
address of each subscriber will be forwar'
ded by Us to The Weekly Constitution.

Heard His Funeral Sermon.

CLARKsBuRe, W. VA, Nov. 2l.-At
Vadis, Harrison County, to-day, the
novel scene of an old man listening to
his own funeral sermon was witnessed
in the Methodist Church. Frank
Wiseman, SO years old, some months
ago began preparations for death. He
made will disposing of over one huns
dred thousand dollars in cash and
farm lands, had fine, solid walnut
coffin built by local cabinet maker,
got into the box and made sure that -
was soft and roomy, selected the
habilimcnts in which he desired to be
buried and finally made the request Of
several ministers that they preach his
funeral sermon. All the preachers
refused but the Rev. John,P. Ireland.
Mr.. Wiseman offered to provide new
church for him at Vadis, and he agreed
to take the old man as a text, putting
in the proviso that the sermon would
deal only with the truth, and would
be worded just as though Wiseman
was dead and not present to hear it.
To-day the church was jammed and
the sermon preached. Many of Wise
man S acts in life and eccentricities
were. touched upon unfavorably, and
he was praised for his good deeds.
Some Of Wiseman' s friends and rela-
tives took exception to Mr.. Ireland 8
remarks, but the old man after the
sermon expressed himself as pleased
and entirely satisfied. Wiseman is
hale and hearty, and may live past the
century mark.-Baltinsore american.

Making Bricks With Oil.

An experiment of considerable IN
terest to brick manufacturers and deal
ers has been tried in a brickyard IN
New York State, fuel oil being used
instead of wood or coal oil to burn
kiln of bricks. Fuel oil is the product
left after crude petroleum has been
refined. 1t has been used for some
time as fuel for engines and furnaces
but it's adaptability for the more deli
cate operation Of burning pottery or
bricks is recent discovery. The
success of the experiment is likely to
reduce the cost of brick making IN
considerable degree. Forced draught
is an important factor in the system,
and by it the heat from the burner
can be directed at a uniform tempera-
ture toward any part of the arch OF
the kiln. The oil runs in pipes around
the base of the kiln and feeds directly
from the burner in the arch in the
interior. The forced draught feeds
in with the oil, and by the turning
of valve the heat can be regulated at
any point within the arch.
It is claimed that the use OF oil IS
much cheaper than that OF either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost
Of burning 1000 bricks with wood at
SIS cord is 80 cents; the cost where
coal is used is so cents with oil the
cost is 38 cents. In burning bricks
with wood II men are required every
"a hours if oil is used two men can
do the work. The new method is
quicker, completing the burning OF
the kiln in six days, instead OF seven
or eight, as formerly, and the bricks
are better, because with the forced air
draught the temperature Of the kiln is
entirely under control.-Pitts6uTg

Ten to One.

Yesterday A. q. Wherry, Of Lewis,
came to town with his wagon-to get
supplies on the lien !? No, no. He
came loaded-with what do you sup
pose !? The articles and their proper
tion were significant, one lone bale OF
cotton and about ten bales of peavine
hay.
he got his cotton cut and Started. "
He carried his sample around and
asked the buyers what they would
give for it. They bid by fractions of
a cent, till he finally closed at ST.
He went back to his wagon to find
that several persons had stopped to
enquire what he would take for his
hay. They didn't ''cut" it or "bid
on it they only asked, "what will you
take p He named his price and got
it.
Ten to one is good; some insist on
sixteen to one, and we are not sure
that they are wrong. We do feel sure,
however, that either ratio, if applied
in the right order to hay, grain and
the like on the one hand and cotton
on the other, will bring better results
than any financial scheme that can be
devised by the government, good and
important as the scheme may be-

THEPHILOSOPHY OF POVERTY.
Poverty Has a Great Function to W ork Gut
in the Social Scheme.

SO difficult is possible with God, and
one of his devices is to furnish field
for philanthropy. "Sell all that thou
hast, and give to the poor. Here
was the grand opportunity. Quit liv-
ing for self. and live for the needy;
But he turned away with his hand
shut, and his heart shut, and the door
into the kingdom remained shut.
5. It is Gods method of testing
character. When we stand IN tie
light Of the great white throne, tie
decisive question will be, "Did you
sympathize with the, suffering and
minister to the needy?" The touch
stone Of character is our attitude to-
wards man as man. Do we prize only
the accidents Of his station, the
wealth, the rank and the genius which
attach to .him2 When stripped OF
these do we look coldly on him, turn
from, scorn him? The answer to these
questions tells where we shall stand
in the testing day. Bread to the
hungry, water to the thirsty, clothing
to the naked, sympathy to the sick
these are the things that will count,
and the only things that will count IN
the time that is coming. Are we do
ing these things now? Perhaps We
are too busy. We have no time to be
looking after beggars and tramps. We
are employed about weightier matters
But these will prove to be rather
weighty matters. One would think
that a man on trial could hardly be
concerned with weightier matters than
those which are to determine the YER
dict for life OF death.
Such are some of the uses OF the
poor. They have 9 divine vocation,
and we had as we'll make up our minds
to live with them. They will be here
after we are gone.-R. c. Reed IN

9. 1t is Gods method Of develop
ipr character. The rich need the
DOOR more than the poor need the
rich. Lazarus furnished Dives the
great opportunity Of his life. What
Dives needed was an object that would
appeal to his sympathy, and awaken
within his heart the divine angel OF
pity. He was dying Of selhshness,
not in its grosser forms, for he was a
generous liver; but his life was self
eentered. A selfish man can only be
saved by giving him an opportunity
and motive to live FOR others. Self
ishness shrivels the soul, and when 1t
gets too little to hold the poor, it is
TOO little to hold Christ. Wealth
ministers to selEshness. There is a
legend to the effect that St. Peter, who
is supposed to be the door-keeper OF
heaven, was once asked if he ever ad-
nitted any rich into heaven. NO,
said Peter, but many get In.
