AUTOMOBILE HURTS qETs"

Ithaca.-The automobile is hurting
tho practice Of doctors Of veterinary
medicine IN the cities, according to
DR. Veranus "A. Moorehead Of the
state College OF Veterinary at Cornell
university.
In the country, however," he says,
the demand for veterinarians IS
growing rapidly The price Of farm
horses is steadily increasing. Food
producing animals are commanding
prices that warrant expenditures for
their treatment which formerly were
not considered worth while.
THE inspection OF dairy cattle is
being required by many boards OF
health. and this is increasing the vet
erInary's sanitary work. The simple
fact that good COW Is worth as
much as q good horse was formerly
and q good dog brings as much as or
more than a COW would have sold for
ten years ago is bringing owners Of
animals to a realization Of the value
OF veterinary service. We are con-
stantly receiving requests from coun-
try places for veterinarian.
THE change in veterinary practice
caused by the automobile has come
coincidently with the increased value
OF food-producing animals. Thus TIE
total demand for the veterinarians has
not lessened, but the conditions have
created a demand for men skilled in
the diseases OF all species OF domes-
tlcated animals rather than those Of
the horse only"

RAILWAY TROUBLES.
High Water and Heavy Rains
Stop Trains.

Port Gibson has been a railroad
terminus, for few days at least,
all trains between this place and
Vicksburg having been discon-
tinued because of high water
in Big Black and washout at
Glass. Only one passenger train a
day came to this place. It arrived
from New Orleans In the afternoon
and returned the next morning.
The regular night train went to
Natchez and the ''Bumble Bee"
has been discontinued.
Since Tuesday. however, pas
senger service to Vicksburg has
been resumed.
Freight service is badly crippled,
and If the rains continue 1t may
be long time before trains can be
run on regular schedule.
Two breaks in the levee on the
Louisiana side, one at Greenville
and the other opposite Vicksburg,
will food all of the parishes near
here.

ST. Luke's GOspeI-A Book Study
BY REV. DIR. J. C. QUINN.

BY REV. DIR. J. C. QUINN.
In St. Luke's Gospel, Jesus
Christ is presented to US as the
perfect man, the second Adam, and
in this character be satisfies God
perfectly.
His mission to the world was to
bring redemption to His people
and to please God. That He &C.
complished all this is manifest
from John 1876, where Jesus de-
clares in His prayer to His Father,
81 have finished the work which
thou gayest me to do"
This is the special phase Of
Jesus life and work described in
this Gospel. Here Jesus is not
presented as the Royal One-the
King of the Jews, coming to His
chosen people, as in Matthew, nor
is He seen as the Servant in Mark,
busy with His heavenly ministry
for US. But in Luke, Jesus is seen
identifying Himself fully with US
and that at infinite cost. He empt-
led Himself of His divine glory Ga
Cor. 8:o) to become bone of our
bone and flesh of our flesh. Here
in Luke, Jesus, like the good Sa-
marian, "came where we are" in
order to help US and become our
real friend-our Kinsman-Re-
deemer, in fact our "brother
man."
In other words, in Luke, Jesus
is essentially the Son of man, our
very brother, one who was Gin all
points tempted like as we are, yet
without SIM" answering to the
living creature in Ezekiel and in
Revelation, (which had the face

the gravel finish proved somewhat
the better. Mr.. Roland Wolfe,
the supervisor of the road, says
that to be kept in the best condi-
ton the surface should be dragged
at cost of about S. per mile each
year. Regular dragging has not
been practiced thus far. The be-
lief is that with such care this high
way would almost never wear out.
And the Gazette. News editoriallY
urges that sand-clay construction
costs only about 5000 per mile, as
against $4,000 or more for the
Macadam type.

OUTLOOK NOT PRonIsINa
But Time Vet Remains In Which
to Make Good Crops.

The continued rains, lasting,
practically, from the first of De-
cember to the present time, have
greatly retarded all farming opera
tions. In fact, but little has been
done in the way of planting, and
many have 1ot even broken their
fields. Everything is at least two
months late, and consequently
farmers are restless and "blue."
But there is ample time TO make
good corn crops, and probably good
cotton crops. The fact that so
little cotton has yet been planted,
and that late, may have deprived
the weevil of place in which to de-
posit eggs. Besides,the long, hard
winter greatly reduced the number
and doubtless lett those that got
through in too weak a condition to
survive very long. This is simply
theory, of course, but there is
reason in believing that it is based
on common sense. At any rate,
we believe that every farmer should
run the risk of making cotton
crop. It would not be wise to
plant a large acreage so late, es-
pecially in view of the fact that all
crops must of necessity require
working at the same time. But a
large corn crop. plenty of peas,
potatoes, etc., some cane, and all
the cotton that can be worked is a
good plan to adopt, even if the
season is late.

where the human aspect of esus
is so strongly brought out, we have
His genealogy traced back to
Adam, the common father of the
race, that He may be shown to be
really our Kinsman = redeemer,
!:which was the Son of Enos,
which was the Son of Adam, which
was the Son of God"
The keynote of Luke, we find
in Heb. 2:II-18 -. "For verify
He took not on Him the nature of
angels, but He took on Him the
seed of Abraham.
This Gospel opens like human
memoir would, with the story of
His parents, His Birth place aud
the very wonderful events that at
tended His birth.
The account of John the Baptist's
birth and the intercourse between
the two rejoicing mothers draws
our warmest sympathies, and the
scene of the stable in Bethlehem,
with the visits of the astonished
shepherds and the amazed wise
men from the east, and the virgin
mothers silent wonderment over it
all, are full of human interest and
hold the rapt attention of the
reader.
In this Gospel there is no Ieru-
salem troubled, no great Herod
frowning end plotting, no outside
intrusion of any kind: Jesus is
shown here as grown to manhood
before there is ever a hint OF any
thing but peace. He enters our
midst as one of US, SO quietly, so
naturally, SO really. His circum
cision, presentation to the Lord in
the Temple, His being handled in
the arms of one aud then another,
how natural and restful it Isl
AS we read the Gospel of Luke,
we see Jesus growing from child
hood to manhood. He is called a
"child" (2:4o) endearing namel
He is ''growing" before our eyes.
Then the Spirit calls Joseph and
Mary, His "parents," Ea:4I)
Then He is "twelve years OLD"
and we must call Him "the boy
Jesus" (2:42-43.) He is subject to
His parents like other boys and
He "he advances in wisdom and
stature (2:5I-52.)
How simply told and how natu
raj Is all this. Certainly, He took
on Himself the seed of Abraham
our nature. Verify He is one Of
u.s."

pei is, that here is revealed to us
