PREACHER GETS
 ANOTHER POUNEING

After preaching on an unusually severe theme few nights ago.I walk ed home alone realizing sadly there were some in Iaasonia s0hG did not
 believe as l did on this line. But little did 1 dream I was being follow ed. Hardly had 1 got settled in my cozy corner at home when the tramp ling of feet and muffled voice urged me to the door. Still unsuspectingly 1 unloosed the door, in sprang an elderly brother and began pounding me with slab of breakfast bacon.
 By the time 1 had brought a lamp in, both parlor and dining room were swarming with folks. don't beleive we ever had such a pounding in our lives. Only think, we are not fully recovered from our last year pound ing. This second shower shows some seyeasy-five parcels ranging all the way fjom bushel of potatoes and turnips to sweet cake of soap. How nice were all the gifts of fruits, jellies, preserves, vegetables, cereals, meats, and other treats. Besides there came nuts ard nut butter, candy, powder. delicious cheese and coffee, chocolate hen fruits, dairy products, che ese wafers,, and such lovely towel and kercheif etc. To think that some oi our boys and girls brought us gifts too touches our hearts in q tender place. Were we to wait until we fou nd words to pict ure our astonish sment ands gratitude l fear this would not soon go to print. Let us simply say we belle ve our church is full of generous folks, and our pantry fall of good things, and our hearts full of gratitude. To cap the climax that splendid Helping Hand gave us mag ,nificent mattress. which will remain a constant memento oftheir blessed deeds. Folks we are not bit sorry we came to Judsonia.

THE FANS PRAYER
BY Edmund Vance Cooke
The score was tie;
Flick popped fly;
Harry went down on four;
Turner gave him leg
To the second peg,
And we had just one chance more.
Five thousand prayer to heaven
mounted
Give thousand had the turnstile
counted):
20 Thou Who heed'st the sparrow's
And numberest every hair!
Look down upon this game of ball
And harken to our prayer.
Deem us not impious, for more
Than sparrows to us is the score.
Grant us, OH grant us but bingle,
Een though IL De scraIcny single,
: If doubles be too rare.
Make sure the batter's arm and eye
And guard him from the foul too
high;
For more to us long, low fly
Than many numbered hair"
And, behold! the soul of the player
heard;
A latent prowess in him stirred.
Bling! and the ball flew like a bird,
Nor stopped it till he touchedrat third!
For that's the effect of prayer.

Acting Secretary OF Commerce
Sweet took steps to expedite the reg

Mr. Sweet ruled that IL is not neces-

Mr.. Sweet issued a regulation TO re-
move a mistaken notion that there is
wide difference between American
regulations for measuring vessels and
the regulations of other maritime ma

lectors of customs is as follows:
Merchant vessels of Great Britain.

United States"
The department OF commerce has
recommended that the president sus-
pend the present law which requires
that the watch officers on all vessels
of American registry be citizens of the
United States. 1t is said that until
the president acts on the recommended
ton there will be no applications for
United States registry, and none have
been filed as yet.
