COUNTING CHICKENS
BEFORE MATCHING
Man Started With $40 and Is Now
Rich, All Made Out of
Poultry.

Seyenty-five thousand birds will be
the 1912 output of I. D. Casey's
Chicken factory" near Waitsburg,
Wash, south of Spokane, If the own
er's plans, now in preparation, are
carried to successful conclusion.
Casey started in the business six
years ago with a capital OF $40. His
holdings and stock have an assessed
valuation Of $4,000 today and he ex-
poets to clean up fully $4,000 more
this season. His story follows:
Il was ramifying around doing odd
jobs and such like in about Waitsburg
and about six years ago made up my
mind to break into the poultry in
dustry. / had given the proposition
much thought and investigation and
the business appealed to me as being
chock full Of opportunities for the
man who was willing to qualify.
Il had something like $40 then. T
got hold Of peice OF land near
Waitsburg and invested the savings
Of 81 years in assets: that is to say,
fencing, lumber, eggs and the like.
Well that $40 Investment has paid
me wonderful returng-ahout $4,000.
Il expect to hatch $4,000 chickens
this season and have orders already
for 10000 The prices Of these chick

is probably around 40 cents. There

The higher critic concerns himself

myself among the higher critics. Mod
ern criticism according to the usual
understanding of the word. Scientific
investigation would be better. What
is wanted is the truth and its mes.
sage in its real meaning.
AS the result Of modern Bible
study the sky is clearing. Among the
things in the Bible found to be in
correct is. for instance, the dates on
the margin of the Bible. which Bishop
Usher, who really believed the world
had been created 1929 years B. c.,
arranged according to his ideas. Since
il has been proven that the world was
created more than 100000 years B.
G.. it is plain TO be seen these dates
are incorrect. Again the chapter and
verse division is wrong, and fanciful
interpretations. such as the Song Of
Songs" has been edded. The Bible
contains a variety of literary forms
that chould be studied according TO
their own canons, such as folklore.
MYTHS, history. poetry. allegory, fiction.
philosophy, sermons and drama Be
cause most Of the books of the Bible
are composites We must expect dis
creDancies, but must not be alarmed
at them We must study to get the
central truths.

the reverse. The newer method EN-
phasizes the devotional ministry by
its historical perspective. The church
has nothing to fear from critical
study. Ii has been the storm center

turtles, yet rot one essential truth has

Dr. Lichliter advised his hearers to
get the latest revision of the Bible in
preference to one of the older ones,
as. in his opinion, the work of re-
vision and addition was constantly
helping toward its improvement by
the addition of modern views.

Calls Old Testament History.

The Old Testament is really the
life Of the ancient Hebrews 1t is a
story Of their national development
II is the life and chronicles of the
Hebrews, because before their fall they
were Gods chosen people. and were
the authors Of it. The New
Testament Is vitality related to the
Old, because It was written against
the background Of Jewish ideals and
customs. II shows what the people of
that time thought and felt about
Christ I, is the story Of the life and
influence Of Christ.
One must always be on the watch
for this personal equation in the
Bible and beware Of the stress and
personal views Of that time. This

Predicts Change is Coming.

These early days OF the twentieth
century will probably see the death Of
this instrumentation. MANY have an
idea that Gods book was in some mys-
ferrous way handed down supernatur-
ally from the heavens, was too sacred
to Investigate and 10 be taken literal
~. For such person a quotation set
lies everything. II it is in the Bible
1t is enough The facts are that the
Bible is composed of legends. myths,
folk lore and anonymous written doc
uments by many authors
Tn addition the composites of rnanv
early and modern editors are added.
That work extended ar least 1900
years Then came the publication
and the task Of getting the books
together. The result upon publication
was the Old Testament, beginning in
500 B. c. and extending up to the
time of the birth Of Christ, and the
New Testament, which was simply a
repetition of the work done in gather.
ing the facts in the Old Testament.
Up TO the second century there wag
no organized literature. and IL was
an age Of poor scholarship. where
literary forgeries were common. Com.

Meaning Changed BY Critics.


Thousands OF chapters and verses
have been interpolated in this sacred
work by its later critics, and many
chapters and verses eliminated by
them. Nearly every ecclesiastical
council during the middle ages added
TO it and took away from it whole
books OF the earliest writings. Up TO
the present time the canon of the
Bible has not been finished
One of the great principles of life
is that We should always be making
our way through the transient toward
the permanent, from the guesses oil
man toward the truth of God. The
theory OF evolution finds nowhere a
more effective illustration than in
the study Of literature. 1t is passing
strange, however, that the literature
of only one Nation should be exempt
from the general law. yet the litera-
ture of the old Hebrews embodied in
the Bible has been shrouded in such
a peculiar air of sanerity, almost su-
perstition. that an attempt to apply 20
the Bible the universal Law of deylop-
ment has been LOOKED upon as sac
religious.

MUST BE HAD BY GEORGIA Me-
GROES TO VOTE, ACCORDING
TO BILL TO BE INTRODUCED
IN LEGISLATURE THIS WEEK,

tolumbhs, Ga, June 24.---The
complete disfranchisement of the
Negro in Georgia through a test
winch must prove his character so
taultless and unquestionable that
modest and virtuous female"
may be trustetd to his care without
natural white male protector, IN
the dark or in other places Of Sc
cluSlon, with perfect security or
her person, is the aim Of bill to be
introduced in the Georgia Legisla-
ture next week by Captain J. J.
Slade, Representative from Musco-
gee County.
The application of the test to ap-
pl1cants for registration for registra-
tion, or Negroes already registered,
is expected to purge the sheets Of
practically every one Of the 10000
Negroes Who now vote in Georgia
through meeting the requirements
OF the existing bill seeking to apply
Acknowledgement
The application is to be made by
the Registrar, with obvious results,
In the event that the applicant ques-
tons the judgment Of the Registrar
he may secure the properly attested
written statement of "chaste
white woman that she is willing to
trust the applicant to the extent
defined in the first section Of the
bill. The woman must appear in
person and verify the statement be-
fore the Registrar, and her standing
in, hn
toned.
1t might at first appear that this
Dill and it's plan is the product OF
some crank, but such is not the case,
and letters from Representatives in
dicate that it has q fair chance of
passage if 1t is properly handled
Captain Slade is one Of the real
friends Of education in this state,
and has done much to place this
means Of advancement within the
reach Of the Negroes. He has stud
led the Negro problem for many
years from friendly standpoint be-
cause Of his long residence in a
section Of vast farms and many Ne
groes.
He is friend of the Negro and
believes that there is hope for him
but frankly admits his conclusion
that 1t is unwise to trust him with
the ballot or to permit his temptation
by corrupt politicians or the yearn-
ings for equality that repose in ev-
cry black breast. He thinks it win
be generations before the Negro can
be safely trusted to participate in
the government Of himself and his
white brethren, ID
