Editorial Answer: The melon

Truckers and home gardeners should
get into the habit OF using sprays to
combat insects and bacterial plant

BETTER THAN THEY KNEW.

erected a church building upon H.

had contributed bali the money need

he did not believe In insurance. "This
is the Lords building He'll take care
Of IT," he said
His view prevailed, and there was
no Insurance. In a few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire, Mr..
Sipes contributing the greater por-
ton Of the fund as before This time
the demand was almost unanimous
that it be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again
objected on the same ground.

he said. I'm agree TO rebuild il my

Again he carried his point In less
than a month the new church was
struck by lightning again and although
strenuous efforts were made TO save
IL, the loss was almost total
There must be some reason for
this, brethren" said Brother Sipes. Il
am going to find out what II is"
Thereupon he employed a force of
men 10 sink a shaft on the site OF the
twice-destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein of iron ore was found.
and the church property was sold for
