notions, but you can't fool God. You
may fool the preacher. Old Abe
Lincoln once said, 'YCu may fool
some OF the people all the time, and
all the people some of the time: but
you can't fool all the people all the
time God refuses to clos , his eyes
on the world
Here the evangelist told the story
of '49er, a skilled driver, who used
to carry passengers across the Rock
ies to the gold fields OF California.
The man used to scale the most
dangerous heights with his teams,
his foot on the brake, and his reins
tightly drawn. He was profane, he
blasphemed God without compunction
of conscience, but when he came to
cried. My God, 1 can't find the
brake. I'm on the down grade. My
God, we're lost"
You may waste your money, time
and talent IL you wish. God gives
you the power TO scatter the seed
from your own resources. He gives
you a mind. to think impure thoughts
or pure thoughts. He gives you a
heart, and you use it for wrong de-
sire. He gives you a will, and you
choose the rotten things OF life. He
gives you a body, and instead Of
using them to his Glory, you salts
fy your own passions.
Harvest Exceeds The Seed.
God SAYS, Whatsoever a man
soweth, that sheall he also reap But
the harvest is bigger than the seed.
No man sows a pea and expects to
get just one from IL. Some one has
said: Sow an act and reap a habit;
SOW a habit and reap a character;
sow a character and reap destiny.
No man sows figs and expects to reap
thistles; no man sows thorns and eX-
poets to reap grapes"
The evangelist stated that the man
who sows the sin will reap II. not
else. He said that he had
visited asylums, has seen MANNED
with sin back of their lives.

slave to drink. who walked down the
aisles of a church drunk. and dis

was a slave to the sccursed stun and
that's what some of US are to sin.

Walter Reid Sloan the efficient
manager for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, in this
county, spent the time from Fri
day morning until Monday eve-
ming in Bedford experimenting
the change of location of the
Bedford office, which now oc-
cupies part of the old stone build
ing opposite the Bedford house,
used as headquarters for Gener-
al Washington while in that town
during the Whiskey Insurrection
in Western Pennsylvania.
We would not feel that we had
done our bit" if we fail to keep
on calling attention to the pos.
sibilities of big demand for
dried fruits and vegetables this
fall. A truck load of fruit can
be reduced in weight by drying
so that it can be taken to market
in a buggy. When the warmed
air is made to circulate properly
through the wooden driers we
recently described, fruit may be
cured in from two and one.half
to five hours-dependent upon
the kind of fruit or vegetable. I

Beans As Cheap Food Crops.

palatable, and they keep well.
Naturally the demand for them
increases during a time of war.
The indications are that the farm
er can now afford to grow an in
creased area of beans and that
the home gardener will do well
to include them in his planting.
While beans produce quite well
on soil low in fertility. especially
in nitrogen, they respond as prof
liable as grain crops to good soil.
Generally speaking, soils which
will produce good crops Of corn
will also produce good crops of
beans.
Beans should be sown in rows
twenty-eight to thirty inches
apart, one and one-half to two
inches deep and three to five
inches apart in the row. Itplant-
ing is done on a large scale, a
special bean planter is used.
Many growers use an ordinary
grain drill, stopping certain tubes
so that the rows will be the de-
sired distance apart. A corn
planter provided with special
bean plates may be used. For a
small area any ordinary grain
seeder is satisfactory.
There are four distinct types of
field beans: Pea, Medium, Mar
row and Kidney. The Navy
bean, which is of the pea type,
is the most popular as well as the
easiest variety to grow. 1t is
hardy. early-maturing, produc-
tive and will do fairly we'll on
poor soil.
The Red Kidney and Yellow
Eye are popular on the market.
but do best on soil high in fertili-
ty. This year, on account of the
great scarcity of seed it may be
desirable to plant any good va
riety that is available.
Field beans are especially
adapted to the home garden, not
only because they are compara-
lively easy to grow, but also be-
cause they yield we'll and adapt
themselves to drying. Dried
beans can be stored for winter
use.
Since beans are very suscepti-
BILE to frost it is not best to plant
until danger of frost is past and
conditions are favorable for quick
termination and rapid growth.
In general, do not plant much
earlier than May 20 nor later
than July l.
Write to the agricultural exten.
sion department. Pennsylvania
State College, for methods of
drying these and other vegeta-
bles and fruits.
