"Our lives are measured by deeds
rather than by years" said Rev.
Mr.. Wood at the Free Baptist church
Sunday. AS an illustration he said
that Methuselah lived over 900 years
and did nothing worth recording, while
in the years of his active life Jesus
performed so many and such won
derful deeds that earth and Heaven
are yet ringing with the results.

In his bill to provide for an elastic
currency Senator Alirich has over
shot the mark. Who wants to give
Eastern Bankers the power to add
half a billion to the currency in forty
eight hours? Then, too, the power of
contraction placed in their hands is
equal to the power of expansion. 1t
is about the most vicious piece of f.
'nancial legislation ever proposed.
