I guess Papa wouldn't have been sat

he Just stood around and"

dious one Of the quartette of Allen
children. And he, true TO his char
acter. had really enjoyed the setting
of the firecrackers under the direc-
ton OF their father earlier that morn
ing-of course It was the Fourth of
July.
'I guess I'm old enough to know
how to shoot hrecrackers and not let
them 'splode in my eye-I mean my
facet" asserted Helen. the youngest.
Jaw shucks!" laughed Harry, the
mischievous, happy-go-lucky one of
the family. what's the use of talking
about It! 7 had a lot of fun this morn

and watch us-and we're going to see
the fireworks tonight, aren't We? So
on, let's play something"
Roberta, the eldest of 1.-The Allen
tribe" as the neighbors sometimes
called them, shifted disdainfully.
"Humph! wanted to make spit-devils
out of all my firecrackers this morn
ing, and Papa wouldn't let me because
he said I might burn my fingers"
Spit devils"-unless you already
know what they are-are made by
taking two f1recrackers. breaking them
in half sufficiently to allow little
OF the powder to run out on the
ground. placing the two crackers on
the ground about a quarter of an inch
apart and then touching off the pow
der with your burning pu n k.
Whur-r-r-r-whoof! they go, with a
nice burst OF fame and a cloud OF
smoke. OF course, If your stick OF
punk happens to be very short, or II
you bend over a little too far to watch.

M. {. Church

This will be a special month of
preparation for the revival services to
be held in connection with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South. Pre-
paredness is in the minds Of the
american people today as, perhaps, no
other word. 1t applies to all lines Of
enterprise. The farmer should have
at his command machinery, stock and
energy backed up by a thorough
knowledge OF agronomy and kindred
subjects So it is with all lines of
business and trades. None the less
does every man Of God need to be
"ThoroughIy furnished unto every
good work" He who refuses to Put
on the whole armor of God lays him
self more liable to attack with almost
certain defeat rs a wea k nation can
not successfully eSpouSe the cause OF
an oppressed people, a weaklirg in
the cause of Christ will suffer defeat.
Prepare to live; prepare to act, and
YOU will be prepared "to meet thy

Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi- tute for jute. is product of malva blanca (Urena lobata), large and troublesome weed. The report of Unit ed States Special Agent Garrard liar ris shows that in the experiments of the last two years, the extraction has been brought to successful commer- cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with 5ute, has been used for the soles of cloth shoes, about twenty tons having been sold last year at six cents a pound. The hope of the process own CTS is to make the material into the 20,000000 sugar sacks annually need ed in Cuba. It Is claimed that a 21b- pound sack of malva fiber can be profitably marketed at ' to 10 cents, while the normal cost of jute sacks Is 16 to IS cents each, the wartime price having risen to 25 to 30 cents

VARIOUS EDITIONS OF BIBLE
After the Geneva Version, Authorities of the Anglican Church Prepared
 Revised Translation.

The first printed edition of the popu- lar and - since - frequently printed Geneva version of the Bible appeared in Scotland in 1860, being commonly termed the Brooches" Bible. Because of the Puritanc and Calvinistic tone of the text and marginal notes, this edition was not favorably regard cd by the authorities of the Anglican church. A revised translation was therefore prepared by Matthew Park CT archbishop of Canterbury, aided by eight bishops and the first scholars of that age. This edition, printed in black letter by Richard Jugge, was issued as stately folio in 1868, and is known as the Bishops Bible" It is said to be the most sumptuous of the long series of English folio Bibles. A second edition in quarto appeared in 1569 and a second folio in 1572, also contained two versions of the Psalter, one in black letter being that of the Great Bible" the other in Roman let ter being that of the Bishops" The New Testament contained a number of pictorial initials taken from an edi- tion of Ovid's "Metamorphoses, in cluding one representing Leda and the swan.
