He turned in time to dart in front

"Mr. Hilton Toye, who spotted that
I'd been all the way to Uplands and
back when. I claimed to have been in

There was a touch of Scruton's bit

some subtle process it had distinctly
notifying effect on the really embit-

was not hidden by sardonic grin.

into his offensive laugh, and checked

"You get to London-at what time

"Nominally three-twenty-five; but

it is not as deep as at the sides, but
wider. BY means of a bracing bow,

forward main bow, the top is extend

other bracing bow, extending dag

Reaping the Whirlwind,

This question is on the lips of mil
lions of Christians today: "Why does
God permit the slaughter of millions
of human beings?" When nations
fail to recognize his sovereignty,
when they disobey his law and seek
after their own lusts, whether it be
for the sake of commerce, conquest,
or revenge, the restraining influence
of the Holy Spirit is withdrawn, and
they are left to follow their own sin
full devices. We have seen what has
happened in Europe. Is is conceiv-
able that, if the rulers and cabinets
and councils of these nations have
obeyed the divine law, they would
have been shedding each others blood
today and laying half the world in
ashes? Would they not have sought
methods Of Cancellation and peace
rather than war and blood and des-
truction? They sowed the wind and
are now reaping the whirlwind.-

SKUNK FARM.
Lyle Sergeant Believe That 1t Yields
A Good Profit.

Lyle Sergeant, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant Sergeant, who moved
here from State Center a year ago,
has started a skunk industry on his
fathers farm that is interesting to say
the least. He has 35 on hand. During
the summer he keeps them in boxes,
one in box, each box having a small
box inside for resting purposes. To
give them the benefit of native life,
he has built wire cage with the bot
tom of the cage buried under the
ground so that they cannot burrow
out. At one end this cage bottom
is over three feet underground. This
gives them a chance to make a home
for themselves underground in the
winter. 1t is easy to keep them be-
cause they eat nearly anything. The
fur from the domestic skunk is better
and more valuable than in the wild
state. The Sergeant Farm is free
from the offensive odor, for all but

Good Milk; Dirty Milk.

times as much as spoonful in each

This citizen calls further attention
to the fact that in the instance he
specifically complains of the milk is
rated as good" and the consumer
is left up in the air as just what to
do about it.
Undoubtedly the milk is good -
but if the consumer should happen to
swallow a portion of the barn refuse
that is allowed to collect in the bot
ties, he might characterize the whole
mess as far from good.
There seems only one remedy in
case like this. Do not purchase any
more of that particular brand Of
