I97.-Perhaps one OF the
questions most frequently pro-
pounded Is, "WhO was Gains
wifef' What is the answer 60
this, II anyl
Answer.-As there was but the
one pair created by the Lord, Adam
and Eve, there is only one answer
and that a reasonable one, when we
accept the Scriptural teaching. We
read that Adam had other children,
both sons and daughters, besides
Cain and Abel Genesis v, 3, A.. As
the race had a perfect start in Adam,
and his children were nearly per-
feet, no disastrous results would
occur from intermarriage such as
would be the case to-day when the
race has deteriorated to such an ex-
tent that marriage between first
cousins even, iS prohibited by law
in some states. We recall that Abra-
ham married his half-sister many
centuries later, and after the race
had Travelled considerably over the
downward way. We know that
Cain could not have married his
brother, and since Adams daught-
ers were the only females on earth,
the inevitable conclusion is that
Cain married his sister. The land
of Nod, where Cain resided, was a
land in the near vicinity of Eden,
which afterwards became known by
the title of Nod. The city built by
Cain was, as the Hebrew word sig
nifies, a walled place, or in other
words, house, or villa.

PROUD AS BOY WITH
FIRST PAIR RED
TOP BOOTS

Speaker s. ]. Vining and son, Ver-
non, of Celina, were in town a few
days ago looking up business pertain
ing to the coming Banner Fair and
their line of insurance. From all re-
ports we have heard about Sam we
expected to see mere shadow of him
self and broken down nervous wreck,
but in this we are agreeably surprised.
He carries his 200 pounds of avoidu-
pOis with as much dignity as ever and
the way he cleaned up on a line of
grub at Billy VOLTS showed that he
was not overlooking his bets in that
department.
He is especially proud of his. fine
gold watch and fob which was pre-
sented to him by the 10th General
Assembly during It's closing session.
It is an elegant timepiece, suitably en-
graved, and was presented on behalf
of the House, by Representative Reid,
of Fayette county, in a brilliant Gu
logy. Sam will now put on an extra
headway of steam and pull for
the coming Banner Fair. He is talk
ing about putting on some new feR-
lures this year and is going to leave
nothing undOne to make II the biggest
and best ever.

ABOUT $500 MORE'N
We COULD RAISED

Beginning with this falls election
every candidate for an elective posi-
ton and every political committee
that spends any money will have to
file statement of every cent of money
received and expended, from whom
received and for what purpose
expended. Candidates for district
or state Office will file their state
ments with the secretary of state
and candidates for county or less
er offices will file their statements with
the county election board. This is re-
quired under the Kimbel Corrupt
Practices law, which is one of the good
laws enacted by the last legislature.
Candidates on county tickets are
limited to $500 in their expenditures
for Office. Statements must be filed
within10 days after election. Under this
law 1t will be possible to tell where
every cent of the campaign fund came
from, and for what purpose it was
spent. The law also names a number
of purposes for which the money can
not be used.

IS6.-u / do the best 1 know
how, will not God consider me
all right and take me to heaven
when / die 7
Answer.-If you we're doing the
best you knew how you would not
have asked this question. On the
contrary, you would realize that
you know how to do better than
you are doing. II you do to the
very best of your ability you will
get great lesson as to your inabil-
ity to do perfectly. Then, realizing
that God cannot approve that which
is imperfect and self condemned,
you will be ready to pray, "God be
merciful to me sinner" Luke xvii,
l3). Then the Lord will reveal to
you the fact that there is only one
door of salvatiGn-Christ. Then,
still desiring peace with God, you
will seek Christ and be found in
him. The most God asks of any
body is that he do the best he can.
We all need a Savior, for the rea-
son, as st. Paul declares, aye can
not do the things that ye would"
Galatians v, ~. We cannot do
perfectly because we are imperfect;
we are imperfect because we were
born in sin and "shapen in iniqui-
ty" psalm ii, 81. The Jews, who
we're under the law, covenant, tried
to justify themselves before God by
what they did, but wholly failed.
In discussing this very question
the Apostle points out that, the only
hope for deliverance is through
Christ Jesus from. vii, 1925.

EXPERIMENT FARM
At TSCHOOL-HOUSE
Put SandIeS Starts a New Idea in
Teaching Agriculture That's
Worth Something.
Putnam County Sentinel. !

Prof. w. s. Sackett, of Mt. Cory,
Hancock County, is one of the most
progressive and thorough school men
of the State. He believes in a practi-
cal bread and butter brand of educa-
ton. He believes that the schools
should help to keep the boys and girls
on the farm instead of taking them
away. He has a notion that education
should not make girls afraid of dish
pans and wash-tubs, nor boys afraid of
overall, spades, hoes, &c.
His school board is one of the sensi-
BILE sort. 1t believes that education
should be practical and fit the young
sters to make a living like the rest of
us have to do.
Mr.. Sackett is a Putnam County boy.
He has been a reader of the Sentinel
for long time. He and his board of
education hit upon a plan to teach ag-
riculture along with school work. The
board purchased five acres of ground
adjacent the township high school
building for experimental purposes
along agricultural lines. The cost was
81 100. Every boy is ready to take an
interest. He wants to learn about
farming. He gets downright in earn
est. he mas no thought Of leaving the
farm. Sackett is willing to do more
work than he gets paid for. He has
just been re-hired for two years as
township uperintendent at a salary of
81 200 year. The girls as we'll as the
boys of the township take greater in
terest in both the school work and the
farm. The five acres of dirt will soon
pay for itself. This is perhaps the first
instance on record in Ohio where
school board has purchased land for
school experiment station. Fruit and
flower culture will also receive atten-
ton. The country homes will soon
show the effects of the wisdom of the
farm at school. In fact, the old folks
are tempted to go to school once more.
There will soon be others in Ohio. The
world moves.

Celina 2-Wapak /

In a nerve-racking, fifteen inning
pitchers battle Celina defeated the fast
Wapak reds in the latter town We'd
nesday afternoon 2 and l. While both
sides were close to scoring at several
points, nary a run crossed the plate
until the first half of the fifteenth.
McComb was out from Pfenning to
Cleves. Then big George Myers start
ed things with a clean single to right
field. Betz put a fly to deep center
and Thompson fumbled. C. Myers
put one over short, filling the bases.
Then it happened. Ralph Behring-
er, who had taken Betzel's place, Iald
one in short left, scoring G. Meyers
and Betz, with what proved the win
ming runs of the game.
Wapak in their half saved them
selves a shut-out by a lucky, hit to
right, which rolled through Ellis legs,
giving Link three bases. Thomas
followed this with another lucky stab,
stepping over the plate and pecking
one of Fredericks big OutshoOts over
third base, which scored Link. Score:

CeIil1a 7-DaytOn 3.

Ono little bingle down the third base
line was the extent of the hitting of the
fast Dayton Garfelds last Sunday, and
with big George Myers in proper
shape this would have been knocked
down and the visitors blanked without
hit or run.
The game though loosely played on
both sides was close enough to be in
teresting and the superb pitching of
the table-maker kept the fans warm
The visitors runs were scored in the
seventh on errors of G.. Myers and
McComb, and the hitting of two men
in the ribs by Frederick.
Celina made three In the fourth and
four in the fifth.
Hobby Wenning started the fourth
by single. Meyer followed suit.
Frederick was safe on force of Meyer
and Hobby scored on wild pitch.
Ellis was safe on an error by Weiser
and the little backstop sent two runs
over by clean two bagger.
In the fifth the boys put Heide out Of
business, scoring four runs on five
singles and an error.

BUILDING WRECKED
WHILE BEING
RAISED

The Smith Murchlsnd house, on
South Sugar street, being raised for the
purpose of putting a new foundation
under it, slid off the jacks on which it
was resting Wednesday and is now
wreck. The house seemed to part as
the crash came. Household goods
suffered badly, dishes and canned
goods being mashed to smithereens.
Chas. Benin and Ed Deitsch, who
were employed in the work, had been
under the building but a short time
previous to the crash, and had it come
only few minutes sooner their lives
would undoubtedly have been snuffed
out, adding horror to the wreck.

VAN VERT PACKING
CO. WINS ITS CASE
Resulting from NOn-Payment Of
Subscription TO Stock Of Mem
don Canning Factory.

A case of more than ordinary inter-
est was tried In the Common Pleas
Court in this city Saturday, in which
the plaintlff company secured ver-
dict in its favor. The case was that of
The Van Vert Packing Co. against
Peter Hess, in which the plaintiff
asked for judgment of 500. Itcame
to Judge Layton's court from Justice
Krugh's court at Mendon, and grew
out of the organization and construc-
tion of branch canning factory of the
Van Vert concern at Mendon.
In its petition the plaintiff states
the defendant subscribed stock in the
sum of 500, of which $50 was to be
paid May /, 1910, at the completion Of
the foundation of the building, and $50
on September /, 1910, at the compile
ton of the building. The company
stated they built the factory as they
agreed, but the defendant refused to
live up TO his part of the contract. The
defendant in his answer stated that
the building was not made of cement
block, as agreed, but of tilo, and that
the machinery installed was not new,
hence he refused to pay the 500. Sew
enteen witnesses were subpenaed in
the case, eight for the plaintiff and nine
for the defendant. Attorney II. L.
Conn, of Van Vert, assisted by attOr-
ney II. A. Miller, of this city, conduct
cd the case for the canning company.
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff after a short adjournment to
the jury room.
AS previously stated, the case was of
more than ordinary interest, and meant
more than the 500 at issue. Ten thou
sand dollars worth of stock had been
by residents of this county
for the factory, but quite a number
failed to make payments as agreed.
The victory for the company will prob
able result in the delinquents coming
up and paying the fiddler.

resulted from one John Kennedy being

paneled and Prosecutor Romer stated
the case, he asked the court to molly
the indictment, as witnesses on whom
he expected to prosecute the case could
not be secured and the principal one
had recently died.
