Christ"
Bandits Rob a Bishop.
Bandits recently entered the resi-
dence Of Bishop AYES, in Guadalajara,
Mexico./ There were some twenty
five of them and they helped them
selves freely to whatever they wish
ed, meanwhile keeping the bishop and
his family under cover of their guns.
Threats to abduct the bishop and his
son, and later to carry off Mrs. AYES.
were fortunately not carried out. No
personal injury was inflicted, but
they took such things as they could
lay their hands on. TIE bishop
writes:
"Our material loss, including three
gold watches, jewelry, silverware,
clothing money, was not as great as
it might ave been, n you may be
sure we are thankful the affair was
not more traglcal.
when the family was abOut to re-
tire, an Indian boy, who chanced to
beb spending the night with us, said
to me aside: Now, my dear bishop,
you have no more money. You are
poor. l have a little and (here he
reached in his bosom and drew out q
cloth which he unknOtted, revealing a
few small silver coins) it is yours.
And l will pray to God my thanks

could not be marred and SO fine a
spirit wounded by a refusal. He had
walked home-thirty miles-to save
that money, and he walked back,
feeling richer than he came. And I,
too, am richer in heart, with the feel
ing that not a few of these Indians are
good and true and Christlike, and that
all can be redeemed"

TRIUMPH Of THE
ITALIAN TOMATO
Exports From Country viii
Be Over Six Million
Dollars

Washington, D. c., Feb. lathe
tomato was given to the world by
America, but Italy is today teaching
the rest of the world by example how
1T should be raised and how it should
be preserved. Italian canned toma-
toes ave practically pushed the
American product out of the English
market, n have gained an enormous
market in the Unified States. The
Italians raise a solid meaty tomato
of fine color and it is so packed in
he cans that the coIsumer is not
obliged to pay for a large percentage
OF water.
Canned tomatoes, however, are put
up principally for the export trade.
The Italians themselves prefer their
tomatoes in the form Of sauce. or
paste, which is nothing more nor less
than boiled down tomato pulp, minus
n skins and seeds, as set forth in
an interesting name in a report by
Commercial Agent j. Alexis Shriver
entitled, "Canned-Tomato Industry in
Italy," recently issued by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
This is put up in can and is
used by the Italians in q great va
riety Of dishes, Of which spaghetti is
perhaps the most familiar to Ameri-
cans.
According to fairly accurate
statistics the area planted III tomatoes
in Italy is about $4,000 acres. produc-
ing about $4,000 tons The exports
to the United States amount to about
100000 pounds of anned toma-
to and tomato sauce, and some S.000,-
0O0 pounds of the product go to
South America. The total value OF
the tomato exports from Italy IS vel
over $1,000. 600.

merly wasted are now utilized. the

In MeSopotamia a very interesting

brother had been visiting Nejef, an

far from Bagdad, from which a num-

hospital, and was one day conversing
with some of the mullahs when the
English missionaries came VI for dis
cussion, and the mullahs admitted
that the missionaries in Bagdad were
undoubtedly very good folk. who
served mankind by good works in the
hospital and taught the people about
God, but, on the other hand, the
mullahs themselves were sinners, and
did not serve mankind by good works.
Nevertheless, in the day o. Judgment,
God would take the good works of
the &. M. S. missionaries and put
them TO the credit of the Moslem
mullahs, and He would take the sins
of the mullahs and put them upon the

MUTHERS Of
DELICATE CHILDREN
Should Read the Following
Letter-MrS. Sacks Story
About Her ChiId'S Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with a chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so decided to try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she is stouter and more
healthy in color and this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try bottle of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
!. If we can induce you to try a bottle
of VinOl as body-builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we win return
your money on demand.

NEGRO FARMER SELLS FIVE
HUNDRED BALES OF COTTON
Raised on His Plantation in Baker

Raised on His Plantation in Baker
County, and Brought $4,000.
One of the biggest sales of cotton
ever made by negro farmer in Geor-
gia has just been concluded by Bar
tow F. Powell, of Baker county,
whose 1914 cotton crop was stored in
an Albany warehouse. Powell had
sold none of his cotton prior to turn
ing loose the entire lot.
When he at last decided to sell he
had 500 bales on hand. He refused
to let any of it go when the market
was very low, and when at last he
decided to sell he received an aver
age price of cents for the lot. The
cotton is now being compressed, and
will be exported. 1t puts approx
mately $4,000 to Powell's credit in
the banks where he does business.
He is one of the most successful
farmers in this section.

fraudulent policies.
The Agent Arrested.

S. j. Coachman, who was local
agent for the defrauded insurance
company and who is charged with
aiding and abetting the defendants in
defrauding the company he was rep
resenting, was arrested in Albany on
Sunday, and is now in the Terrell
county Jail.
The scheme to defraud was on a
big scale and had it not been for the
early discovery of the conspiracy and
the subsequent canceling of a num-
Der of the policies the insurance com
pany would have suffered the loss of
many thousands of dollars.
The insurance company has en-
pIoyed Attorney l.. c. Hoyl to assist
in the prosecution of the defendants.
