DID YOU

Did you ever hear of a Cen
esee County banker telling
people who are paying off

it better if they brought sa-

Did you ever hear of a school
teacher in Genesee County advising
the fathers of his students to vote
wet" so that they would have a
better school, and so that the child

dressed and with happier look upon
their faces?
Did you ever hear of a Genesee
County wife asking her husband who
takes an occasional drink, to vote
"wet" this spring, so that after
May LIST, when he comes to town. he
may get his drink without trouble,
and also be able to invite his friends
to drink with him, while she waits
around in the stores for him?
Did you ever hear of a Genesee
County father and mother sitting
down in their home along in the eve
ming, after the children are tucked
in bed, and of the father saying in
earnest words to his wife: "Well,
wife, there is going to be local
option election this spring and we
must all work to bring it back wet"
for the sake of our boys, Will and
John. They must have personal
liberty so that they can grow up
strong and manly" And did you
ever hear the wife say in reply:
Eyes, John, you are certainly right,
and l will help you all | can. Beer
and whiskey are good for boys and
will keep them from growing up to
be sissies. You must vote wet"
by all means, and l will call up the
other mothers in the neighborhood
and ask them to get their husbands
to do the same.
Now, then, what do you think
about it? If saloons make better

fair and reasonable. Come, now.
get right down to brass tacks and
ask yourself what you ought to do.
If you cannot think of some good

ICLAIM PORING
OVER SCRIPTURE
JNHlNGED MIND
tcontinued from rage one,


pie TO give an accounting 10 his Mas
ter on the day OF Judgment.
"Is there any one man. learned or
otherwise. who can say that August
Wonder Heide's view vi the scriptures
is not right?" asked the attorney for
the German Protestant Home. In his
argument TO the jury. "Is there any
living man who can tell us definitely
about the hereafter. say that no
man can state with certainty that a
mans belief In what is TO come after
this world. is right or wrong. No
court can decide such a question, be-
cause no one knows"
The description of the day OF judg-
ment was read TO the jury. The story
of the separation OF the sheep from
the goats. the consignment OF those
on the left hand TO everlasting punish
ment. and the call 10 those on the
right to possess themselves OF the
kingdom prepared for them, was re-
peated from the scriptures. The par
ahles OF the virgins and OF the talents
were also read.
Can any one say that this aged
man was a monomaniac, because he
believed I'm this chapter, and gave il
as his reason for leaving his all TO the
home where he had lived SO many
years." asked the lawyer.
The case went TO the jury after the
