travel Here he sought employment as teacher, and, being unsuccessful re- mained a while in the office of a lawyer who put him in the way of earning little money, and loaned him enough to enable him to purchase a ticket on steamer to Natehez, Mississippi; which place he reached with only a few letters of introduction. He became a private teacher in the family of Mrs. Martha Dunbar, and subsequently, that of her niece, Mrs Shields, near Natchez. He taught school for year and a half, but to him this work was exceedingly irk- some.
 One compensation was the use of good legal and miscellaneous library he found in these homes. He avoided soci- ety. He was greatly oppressed by his low social position, and very sensitive on account of his personal infirmity. Enter ing the law office of Eli and Felix Hus- ton in Natchez. and completing the re- ouired legal studies he was admitted to the bar in June 1929, and forming a part nership with this firm began the prac- tice of law. In succeeding articles I shall write of Mir Prentiss as lawyer, ora tor and politician.

WY HEN the claims of the gospel are M personally urged upon un-
 W godIy men, they frequently say that they cannot understand the gospel-that it is full of mys- teries which puzzle them, and of dark problems which they cannot solve. Such men seem to regard the religion of Christ as foreign commodity, which, if it is to be had at all. must be brought from the mysterious depths of some distant and un- explored region.
 It is curious and instructive to notice how old this tendency is. The Apostle Paul describes and combats it thus: "The righteousness which is of faith spealxeth on this wise: say not in thine heart who shall ascend into heaven? dhat is to bring Christ down from above). Or who shall descend into the deep? Chat is, to bring up Christ again from the dead). But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is the word of faith which we preach"
 But this tendency is much older than Paul. for the language used by him is free quotation from that farewell sermon which Moses preached to the Hebrews just before his death, and which we call Deuteronomy; that is, the republication of the law.
 Now, in what sense is the gospel nigh

The committee concluded its report
with the following summary:
To sum up. we need room for 500 pu-
pills at once. We need "a grade build
ing located right where the present
high school now stands and of it's pres
ent size, We need new high school
because:
1.-The present building is too small
and too poorly arranged for high school
purposes.
2-The growth of ideas and expan,
Sions of educational principles demand
the Introduction of business methods
manual training, domestic science, ath-
letlc training, laboratory sciences, mill
tary and modern educational ideas.
3--Thc grammar schools must keep
pace with the world in educational
thought and application, sanitary and
fire equipment and general accommo-
dation and progress.
Ogden demands that we keep up in
all educational as we'll as all other
lines. These things are what make q.
town worth living in. and what must be
dona in order that Ogden may be
placed on such footing that her stu
dents will be well educated and accept
ed in any of the great schools of the
country.

al burden amounting yearly to many
millions upon the printing and pub
fishing interests OF the country. One
OF these groups centers about the Inter-
national Paper Company. which oper-
ates In the eastern market. It was or
ganized nearly 10 years ago by con-
solidation OF 30 mills, most OF them in
bad condition. with antiquated machin-
cry. half of which was no better than
junk. During the 10 years since that
consolidation was made the old ma

time OF the consolidation. Not one
new machine has been added to the
equipment until within a recent pc
Rod. while one or more OF the origt-
nal plants have been dismantled and
abandoned. The International Paper
Company has not grown with the de-
mands of business. 1t has remained

combination OF paper makers can sue
coed In its course it will cripple the
publishing business, 1t will tax intelli-
gence, because the newspapers and the
the periodical are the peoples school

stitch a tax would be oppressive and
proscriptive. In government, based
as ours Is. upon the intelligence and
resultant virtues OF the people 1t Is
anomalous and monstrous. In recogni-
ton OF this fact President Roosevelt
in his recent special message to Con-
gress has recommended the immediate
repeal Of the duty on wood pulp with a
corresponding reduction of the duty
upon paper made from wood pulp.
The Reform Club will undoubtedly
lend its weighty and influential aid to
the President. so that at least this one

plished-before the presidential cleo
