it will increase the house enlbership

legislature anticipated this law and
at the last session divided the state
into three districts. Our present
congressman, Hanna and Helgesen,
are in the First district and they will
have to contest for nomination and it

hard to meet their obligations
this fall. some farmers will not
be able to pay anything at all.
Some Of your creditors may start

About fifteen auto loads went to

Settlement of Your
Debts

Often an equal adjustment Of
your debts can be made and your
creditors may carry you over an
other year for part of what you
owe but, in order to do this, you

that you want to be far and

know where you are at and see

shall not deny 1t: but there is
another story about It that is not
less wonderful and that is at least
as likely as the story told by the Pro-
lessor at Chicago. It is contained In a
remarkable book and reads: I'm
the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth. And the earth was
without form, and void. And God said:
Let there be light. and there was light.
And God said: Let there be a firma-
ment And God made the armament.
And God called the armament Heaven
And God said: Let the dry land ap-
pear; and it was SO. And God called
the dry land Earth. And God said
Let there be lights in the armament of
the heaven to divide the day from the
night And God made two great lights.
the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: He
made the stars also"
That is a wonderful story. There is
not word about the terrific storms
that are common In the sun. or about
1T throwing out matter for the distance
of $4,000 miles. or about how another
sun somewhere. with a counter pull of
gravity drew the nebula back and out
OF 1t formed the earth. Not a word.
1t is enough that God "spake. and it
was done; He commanded, and it stood
tast There is something really sub
I
of the making of the earth. We like
1t so much better than the account
given by the Chicago Professor.
