Last night a fine audience greeted
Rev. E. Leroy Steffey and listened to
the sermon on the subject. eff" In
introducing the subject, Rev. Steffey
said. If the captain of the great
steamer Titanic had needed the warn
ing given, no doubt his vessel would
not have struck the iceberg and gone
down; but he needed it not and his
cargo Of human freight were cast into
a watery grave. II the engineer had
known that the switch was set against
him he would have stopped his train
and saved his passengers. If two
school teachers had heard the rattle
of the oncoming train they you'd have
stopped their automobile and they
would have been saved; but they did
not hear and were hurled into eternity
in an instant of time. If men would
beat their swords into plow-shares
and their spears into pruning-hooks'
war would come to a perpetual end.

father was poverty stricken, had no
means to pay a physician, was a
stranger in a strange land, and no

A young man is taken sick. The physi-
clan is in another part of the country.
The sisters Of the young man send for
him. He delays his coming. Later he
comes but the young man is dead, and
as he comes to the home Of the sisters
one of them goes out to meet him and
says, Lord, If thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died. The words
of this sister were not SPOKEN in COM
plant, but rather, were the language
of faith and love. For they seem to
say, that death could not have entered
the Bethany home in the face of Di-
vine power and Divine love. Neither
could it. There is no death where
Jesus is. Men are dead in 'trespasses
and in sins because Jesus is not theirs.
Jesus said to Martha, I am the resur-
rection and the life; and he that be-
lieveth 'in me, though he were dead
yet shall he live If the sinner lives
he must respond to the call of the
Master. Brother, you can not get
along without Jesus. He must be pres

BERLIN CLAIMS DEFEAT FOR EN. TENTE IN REGION OF

Bucharest Admits Retirement at Two Positions on Line-Troops Isolated By Capture of Orsova Are Men

Berlin.-The war office announced that the whole line of the Alt River in Roumania is in the hands of the Teu- tonic troops. A sever defeat of the entente forces northwest of Monastir also was recorded.
 A great attack delivered by the en- tente troops along the Macedonian front from Trnova, northwest of Mon astir, to Markovo, northeast of that city, failed, says the announcement.
 German and Austro-Hungarian troops, under command of Lieut.. Gen. on both sides of the River Alt, in Wal lachia, pushed back the Roumanian forces belong the Topolog River, says the official statement issued by the German army headquarters. Alexan- dria, a Roumanian town 47 miles southwest of Bucharest, was captured by Teutonic forces.
 The Roumanian forces, which had retired from the Danube town of Or soya, were pushed further to the south SciSb Dy llIt JIOODS, JllS statement adds, and this Roumanian force now has been blocked by the approach of other Teuton forces in the rear.

ERADICATE BORERS IN TREES
Best Way to Kill Worms Is to Dig Them Out-Use Piable Wire
 Where They Go>Nery Deep.

If the trees have not been wormed the sooner it is done now the better it will be. Go after the worms. par ticularly on the peach tree. The best way to get them is to dig them out Be careful not to girdle the tree, and be sure to disinfect the knife before go- ing from one tree to another. This dis infecting will prevent the carrying of the germs of disease from one plant to another.
 In apple, pecan and other trees where the borers go deeper into the wood the use of pliable wire is recom- mended. Run this wire into the hole and kill the borer al the bottom Sometimes it is advisable to pour about a teaspoonful of carbon biSul- phide into the hole and plug up the hole with a piece of soap. Be care ful when using the carbon biSulphide, as it is explosive when It comes in contact with free flame, as q match, lantern, or pipe. It is also poison, so do not leave it lying around.

MIXING COTTON SEED
Matter of Vital Importance to
 Planters in South.
GroWer, Unless He and GInner Take precautlon, May Get as Much as 14 to 16 Per Cent of Neiah-
 bor's Variety.

(trom the United States Department of
 Agriculture.)
 Few cotton growers realize when they take back seed from an ordinary gin to use in planting the next crop the extent to which their seed may be mixed with the seed of the cotton g1nned just previous to their lot. Yet this matter is of vital importance to all cotton raisers who wish to grow a uniform variety of cotton As every student of cotton breeding knows. even a feW seeds of another variety in a cotton field may, through cross-fertiIi- Za1on, cause interbreeding and deter lorati0n in large number of plants. Instead of getting only few seeds from neighbours lot of cotton. how ever, actual investigations by special lStS of the department show that in certain cases a lot of seed will con- tain as much as II to Is per cent of seed left in the gin boxes from the cotton ginned just before. In the cases investigated not only has there been a large percentage of seed from the va riety ginned just previously, but it Is found that some seeds may remain from the second bale preceding. It follows, therefore, that d grower may very readily mix one or two other va rieties with his special kind of seed.
 Where a grower is particular about his seed, he can greatly minimize the m hXr mi e.;, sive measures in which the average g1nner will be glad to cooperate. The following precautions, which seem to be entirely practicable and which. in fact, are now exercised in some lOcali- ties, are strongly recommended in De partment Bulletin No. 2SS, Custom Gin hing as Factor in Cottonseed Deter lorat1on, soon to be issued.
 The patron should accompany to the gin the lot of seed cotton from which he expects to save seed for planting and he should aid the ginner in seeing that everything possible is done to prevent mixing.
 He should see that the tiues, feeders. and cleaners are cleaned as thoroughly as their construction will permit be- fore he allows his seed cotton to enter them.
 The roll should be dropped from the roll box and the box should be thor oughly cleaned. The dropping of the roll is an operation with which all ginners are familiar. The construction of the gins is such that the roll can be dropped and the box cleaned in d very
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-12-01

few minutes. Some improved gins are arranged so that the roll box may be emptied without stopping the gin, thereby further simplifying the opera ton.
 Having cleaned the machinery up to and including the roll box. the next step is to prevent the seed of the va riety to be ginned from falling into the conveyor. It is impracticable to clean the conveyor satisfactorily, and therefore it should not be used when planting seed is to be obtained. By adjusting the position of the apron of each gin the seed can be made to fall upon the floor in front of the gin in- stead of into the conveyor. From here it can be sacked easily
 The floors about the gins should be cleaned to the extent that no seeds are left lying around to cause mixing. Can vas spread upon the floor to receive the seed from the gins is often used.
 Such precautions require time in which to carry them out effectively, and time spent in this manner natural ly reduces somewhat the amount of ginning that otherwise could be done in day. On this point the ginner may find cause to base objection to such procedure but it should be possi- ble to meet the objection by fully com pensating him for the extra time con sumed. The expense of special gin ming in some sections may be reduced by arranging to have it done on speci- l fled days or at the close of the season when more time is available. In any event the amount of money that may be required to secure the ginners eos operation in the maintenance of pure seed is almost negligible in view of the favorable effect such precautions will have upon the farmers crops in sue ceeding years.

Quail an industrious Bird.

In plea for the bobwhite, w. L. Nelson,' assistant secretary of the board of agriculture, states that they eat at least S5 kinds of weed seed. For meat he chooses among 57 kinds of beetles P kinds of bugs, 9 kinds of grasshoppers. 13 kinds of caterpillars and a variety of ants, flies and wasps. One bobwhite has been known to eat as many as 5000 plant lice in two hours, and he is fond of boil weeyils, cinch bugs, cabbage worms, cucumber beetles, squash bugs, army worms and Hessian flies.
 And yet there are farmers who are willing to have all the bobwhites on their farms killed. Shooting the hired man would be more logical, remarks the St. Louis Republic. The hired man demands wages, while the bobwhite works for nothing.
