LIKED bible GUY
MAN WHO CARRIED THE WORD
POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS.
Boys In Blue Stationed Along the Rio
Grande Unanimously Of Opinion
That Visitor Was Strictly
All Right. 81

It was pretty close to taps when q
mall car puffed up to the little border
tation on the Rio Grande, satisfied the
entry and came inside the earthworks

checked young man, who looked as
though he might be fresh out Of COL
lege, brought the mail-he'd succeeded
In crossing a swollen creek in his car
when the Mexican mail man didn't
care to try it, and he brought also q
carload of Bibles.
The soldiers in the border station
called him 1.-THE Bible guy" and the
opinion was expressed more than once
that "the Bible guy was all right"
There are a number of him on the
Mexican border. They are representa-.
t1ves of the American Bible society,
and their business is giving away
Bibles and Testaments to the soldiers
who are doing border patrol duty. This
particular m had come east from Ell

Gulf. He found a considerable demand
for his little olive-drab-bound Tesla.

friendliness for himself.
He was a modest young man, but he
admitted that a good many interesting
things happened to a fellow who car.

The Bible guy laughed as though
that were the best joke in the world.

they bother me? Besides, you know
I'm prepared for Mexicans as well al

are glad to get them. And now-i1
you'l excuse me-Tve got a lot to dc

Whereupon the Bible guy, clad ir

Prisoners Married by Proxy,

Four French prisoners of war In
Germany, now in the camp at Stendal,
were married recently to their respec-
tive iancees in France. The arrange
ments were completed through the
Spanish embassy in Berlin. Exactly
at the time at which the wedding. cere.
mony, with the brideS absent, was per-
ing performed in the prisoners camp
at Stendal, another ceremony, with the
bridegroor1s absent, was performed In
France.

CATHEDRAL CHOIR TO SING
old HYMNS and ORATORI0S

The Cathedral Choir is all that its title suggests-an Interpreter of the most
beautiful religious music the world has known. No company has yer achieved
is a revelation to most listeners, carrying them to heights of musical and re-
hgous feeling Each member has been chosen for his or her especial fitness
for this particular type Of organization. SC that the Cathedral Choir as pre-
sented is a brilliant company. @.
PURPOSE AND PLAN
Organizers Of the Cathedral Choir believed that the grand old religious
classics, the arts Of sacred theme and the majestic hymns of the church were
being neglected. They knew that, aside from their religious themes the quail
iy of music presented in the best numbers OF sacred musical literature has
never been surpassed.
GRAND OLD HYMNS
Who ca measur the influence Of these great songs in religious worship?
These songs have swayed the human heart and soothed the human spirit

through a national observation-disclosures a

Icterus bullocki

Length. about eight inches. Our only
oriole with top Of head and throat
black and cheeks orange.
Range: Breeds from South Dakota.
Nebraska, and Kansas to the Pacific
ocean and from southern Canada to
northern Mexico; winters in Mexico.
Habits and economic status: In
the West this bird takes the place oc-
cupied In the East by the Baltimore
oriole. In food, nesting habits, and
song the birds are similar. Both are
migratory and remain on their sum-
mer range only some five or six
months. They take kindly to orchards,
gardens. and the vicinity OF farm build
ings and often live in villages and
city parks. Their diet is largely made
up OF insects that infest orchards and
gardens. When fruit trees are I'm
bloom they are constantly busy among
the blossoms and save many OF them
from destruction. In the food of Bull
locks oriole beetles amount to 35 per
cent and nearly all are harmful. Many
or these are weevils. some Of which
live upon acorns and other nuts Ants
and wasps amount to 15 per cent of
the diet. The black olive scale was
found In 45 Of the 1852 stomachs ex-
amined. Caterpillars. with a few
moths and pupae, are the largest item
OF food and amount to over Al per
cent. Among these were codling moth
larvae. The vegetable food Is prac-
tically all fruit 10 per cent) and in
cherry season consists largely of that
fruit. Eating small fruits is the bird q
worst trait, but 1t will do harm In this
way only when very numerous.

Msiospiza saeiodia

Length, about six and one-fourth
inches. The heavily spotted breast
with heavy central blotch Is character
istic.
Range: Breeds in the United States
Except the South Atlantic and gulf
states), southern Canada, southern
Alaska, and Mexico; winters in Alaska
and most Of the United States south
ward.
Habits and economic status: Like
the familiar little "cbippy," the song
sparrow is one Of our most domestic
species, and builds it's nest In hedges
or in garden shrubbery close to
houses, whenever it Is reasonably safe
from the house cat, which, however,
takes heavy toll of the nestings. 1t ia
true harbinger Of spring, and Its. de-
lightful little song is trilled forth from
the top OF some green shrub in early
March and April, before most of our
other songsters have thought Of leav-
Ing the sunny South. Song sparrows
vary much i'm habits. as we'll as In size
and coloration. Some forms live along
streams bordered by deserts, others in
timbered regions. others On rocky bar
rem hillsides, and still others in rich,
fertile valleys. With such a variety
OF habitat. the food of the species
naturally varies considerably. About
three.fourths of its diet consists OF
the seeds OF noxious weeds and one
fourth of insects. . OF these. beetles,
especially weetils, constitute the ma.
1or portion. Ants, wasps, bugs Tin
cluding the black olive 'scale), and
caterpillars are also eaten. Grasshop-
pers are taken by the eastern birds,
but not by the western ones.

LIFT YOUR CoRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen q tender corn or
callus SO it lifts out without
pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from locwjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati author
ityto use drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are ap-
piled to any corn or callus the sore
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn or callus, root and all, lifts off
with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment is is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you. 2-Adv.
