The whole of a Christians life
may be literally said to be bound up
n the simple eXhortation, command,
n advice, whichever the individual
prefers to regard it as, of the Psalm
list, to wait on the Lord" 1t is a
mental habit which it is not too easy
to acquire, for the human mind is
naturally either comatose or impa-
ont, and rarely enjoys submitting
direction. Nevertheless, the facul
of waiting upon the Lord is one
which, sooner or later. every meta,
physician is compelled to attain to,
for after all, it is only another form
f Judging righteous judgment. The
Lord, of course, is only Principle or
Mind, and waiting on Principle is
merely abstaining from acting impet-
lously, from leaping before you look
md, instead, arriving at your conclu
ion and determination by a scien
life process of reasoning, which elm
mates all false arguments, until a
Jasis of demonstrable truth is reached

Weevils can take possession of the
plant, and of the human body, only
when the supply of nutritive salts is
lacking, because the life and propaga.
tion of bacilli and weevils is possible
under such conditions only. Wherever
they fail to meet with sufficient quan
titles of nutritive salts, they develop
freely and infect such other human
or plant organisms as are already in
more or less diseased condition. 1t
must be well understood that the
healthy body cannot be infected, but
that only the diseased organism is

while healthy people were immune

Prosperity in Dade County

From last Friday up to noon yester-
day the Dade County Bank cashed
mineral checks to the amount of 81.
536.87 This amount means that there
is something doing in the mines near
Greenfield and the people generally
are profted therefrom. When other
mines are developed in the northern
portion of the county it is safe to say
the output will be more than doubled

LAND MEN COMBINE;
BONUSES ARE SMALL
Sale of Government Lands Under
Volstead Act Continues at
Court House.

Land buyers have formed "com-
bine," or have "gentlemen's agree
ment" not to bid against one another
for government land under the Vol
stead act, therefore the bonuses paid
at the sale being conducted at the
court house are small.
Lands are being sold for the ditch
sliens.z1Practically all the land is be-
ing sold, however. Bonuses go to
the federal government.
This morning the combine was
threatened when an individual buyer
from Minneapolis bid on each piece.
His bidding brought bonuses of from
$40 to SIS. A piece of land was
sold to the Minneapolis man and he
then retired from the bidding and
the work of the combine" continued.
The sale will continue for several
days.

MANY TICKETS
SOLD FOR PLAY
Indications Are That Grand Theate]
Will Be Crowded for Senior
Glass Play.

Many tickets are being sold by the
high school seniors for their class
play, Shakespeare's "Comedy of Err
rors," which will be given at the
Grand theater Friday afternoon and
evening. Indications are that the
Grand theater will be crowded at
both performances. Tickets were
this afternoon placed on sale at the
Netzer Drug store. ..,. .s.s. &.
Daily practices are being held by
the cast, under the direction Of Miss
Laura Michener, high school instruc-
tor, who is in charge of the play.
The play is especially appropriate
at this time as April 23 was the ter
centenary of the death of Shake
speare. Shakespearan celebrations
are being held in many communi-
ties.
The synopsis of the comedy Of
Errors is as follows:
At the opening of the play, Ae-
geon, an old merchant of Syracuse,
is discovered in the streets of Ephesus
and according to law is condemned
to die unless he can pay his fine be-
fore sundown. Aegeon has come to
Ephesus in seach of his wife, his twin
sons, both named Antipholus, and
their twin servants, the Dromios, who
had all been separated in a ship
wreck years before.
It happens at this same time that
Antipholus of Syracuse, who had un-
til short time before been with his
father, arrives in Ephesus. He is &C
companied by his servant Dromis.
Ephesus is the HON, of the other An
tipholus, and now that the twin
brothers and their twin servants are
both in the same town unknown to
each other, strange mixups result.
Adriana, wife of Antipholus OF
Ephesus, mistakes the other brother
for her husband, the twin servants
confuse their masters, and series OF
amusing complications follow.
Finally the twins meet, Antipholus
of Syracuse recognizes his father;
Aegeon; the abbess is recognized as
Aemilia, the wife of Aegeon; and all
ends happily.
