Last Sunday was an exceptionally

good chance to hear something good.
At the Presbyterian Church the Rev.
j. +. Franklin edited his people
on the great subject of prayer,
" Lord Teach Us to Pray" Luke IL:
Is. The speaker said in part that
there were three rules or forces to
move man to prayer. First was
Gods will that men should pray.
Second-his word and spirit directs
US. Third God is great and his
people, a great people. Many in
stances were given from the Bible of
how Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Gid
con, Samuel and David in time of
trial and sore trouble over their fail
ures, moved the Almighty God,
putting Him in mind of His promises
by their holy boldness. These were
men of faith. God is still making
His people great and His delight is
to have them call upon Him, as chill
dren ask of their earthly parents for
things they want, so His people
should come to Him. He will turn

Our farmers over in New Castle

ing what promises to be the bumper
wheat crop of this section for many
years past. Indeed some of them are
expecting the yield to exceed ~
bushels to the acre, while nearly all
are counting on 25 bushels or over.
This is very gratifying news for the

The spring weather that came with

hardly an interruption until almost
the middle of the month and farmers
are now getting ready for seeding.
II no setback in the weather occurs
it is stated plows can be put in the
ground in a few days, when the soil
settles, particularly where the stubble
field last fall caught the early snow
and protected the soil which in some
places was frozen but six or eight
inches and from which the frost is
now entirely arisen. Seeding. it is
stated, will be quite general by the
end of the month, If the weather con-
tinues, giving the farmers an ptn-
usually early start.

N. F. Boucher has returned from

pleasant winter in California, but is
not prepared to say that it is as de-
sirable a location for business as
North Dakota. Mrs. Boucher and
Mrs. Matchen remained in Los Ange-
les, where they will probably stay for
some time. The climate agrees with
both OF them, and Mrs. Matchen, who
was in precarious health when she
left here, Is gradually improving.
