note discussion upon vegetarian
II diet Apparently meat eaters can
produce good arguments from the
Bible Tor their practice. Yet 1 firmly
believe that the Bible teaches Vegetar-
lanism. We find in the second chapter
or Genesis, before man rebelled against
God, that his GOd-given diet excluded
flesh. That God permitteth flesh to be
eaten after sin had hardened his heart
IS true. This does not prove that that
was Gods plan. but contrariwise.
Let me illustrate; God established the
nation Of Israel in Canaan. not as a
kingdom. but as a people ruled by God
They desired king, and He gave them
a king, but said that in their choosing
they had rejected Him.

CHAMPION MUD SUlNGERS

The Farmers Union seems to be worrying Kirby, McFarlane and Hine- mon. These gentlemen could further their interest and retain the respect of the state by telling something of their platform and taking up less time in slandering Ben l.. Griffin, the state secretary of the Farmers Union. This trio have done nothing but sling mud ever since the campaign opened, and just because the people treat them with respect they seem to think they endorse such tactics. Mir. Hinemon and MT. Kirby are now charging Ben Griffin with selling out. We do not believe there is member of the Union who believes this.-M onroe Country Citi-

GIRL MEETS AWFUL DEATH
Almost Disemboweled by Explosion
 of Bomb Made by Brother

Hardy, Feb. S.-Esther Wise, 15 years old, the daughter of F. B. Wise, farmer living six miles northeast of here, was killed about dusk yesterday by the explosion of bicycle pump, which she and her l2-year-old brother had loaded with powder and set off for cannon.
 The pump had been nearly filled with powder, after which clay had been packed in the open end. The end of the pump was then screwed back into place and fuse inserted. The children then took the pump a short distance from the house and lay ing it on a stump, the boy applied a match to the fuse.
 The explosion occurred before either could get away. The girl was stand- ing within few feet of the stump and the explosion, which was terrific one, tore open her abdomen.
 Mr. and Mrs. Wise were on their way to a neighbours when they heard the explosion and the screams of the children. They hurried back and at the gate found the girl holding her in testines in her hands. She was carried into the house and in few minutes she died. The boy escaped without ipjurV

MANNING'S RECORD AT HOME

Our candidate for Congress the Hon. M. J. Manning, is presented to the people of the 2nd Congressional Dis trict as man worthy of their fullest confidence and respect. He is high toned, honorable, honest Christian gentleman. He is thoroughly and fully capable. The people of his coun- ty are in earnest and unit in their support for him. His residence in this county for twenty-five years, and the upright, honest, sober life he has lived in private, as we'll as public, re- moves all question as to his integrity and ability. The people of the 2nd Congressional District have an oppor tunity at this time of sending a man to Congress that would be an honor to the entire people. Their interests would be at all times in safe hands and legislation in behalf of the poor people and the laboring people would be guarded and protected at all times and under all circumstances. We earnestly urge his favorable consider ation by the people and we hope and believe that when the primaries are held on the 25th of March that an overwhelming majority of the votes cast will be favorable to him. m.-Monroe County Citizen.

some'avocation by which he can earn an honest living makes serious and sometimes fatal mistake. The big, brawny, strapping young fellow in blue overalls, with bare arms black with coal dust and grease, who slings heavy sledge hammer eight or ten hours a day, or heaves ton after ton of coal into flaming furnace, may not look quite so neat, sweet and kissable as the spider-legged dude in tailor made clothes, but when it comes down to bread and meat proposition, the latter individual is lost in the shuttle. No matter particularly what trade or ayocation man follows, just so it is honest and legitimate, and the man has an inclination and ability to do the task we'll. A first class ignorant wood chopper who is willing to work is worth ail the educated vagabonds that you could pack inside a forty acre lot. Young boys should be educated, but they should be taught something practicable. That, in any event, ren- ders them independent, so far as mak- ing a living is concerned.
