Steel Is a kind Of iron which car
easily be hammered out thin without
cracking and can be made extremely
hard by being heated and then cooled
quickly. 1t Is different from ordinary
iron because Of the amount of carbon
in 1t. Wrought iron contains less car
bon than steel and so 1t cannot be
made so hard; cast iron contains more
and so is brittle.

GREAT CATTLE RANCH
ON LAKE OKEECHCBEE

Concluded from page One)
Hull, who is vice president and
general manager.
The organization will center
J all its activities in Florida and has
its headquarters at Okeechobee.
Frank Carson, of Fort Myers, one
of the best known cattle men of
the state, is the purchasing agent
and w. E. Dunwoodle, another
well known Floridian, is associat-
ed in the enterprise. The ranch
is more than seventy-fve miles in
circumference and will be en-
larged as fast as it is stocked with
cattle.
at must be impressed upon the
people, " concluded Mr.. Hull,
"that unless the cattle tick is
eradicated and the government is
given full cooperation in doing all
it can for the betterment Of the
cattle situation such enterprises
as ours will be failure. That
shipment that is in town today
was dipped at College Port, Tex,
and again when it reached Houst-
an, and tomorrow the ritual will
be gone through again. Too
much care cannot be taken in
avoiding ticks. As far as possible
we will do all our buying in Flori-
da, Jacksonville getting her share,
and the sooner we are able to pur-
chase stock from state COW men
at a reasonable figure the sooner
the ranch will become a plant
turning out its maximum of the
highest bred cattle in TIL e

Sunday School Problems

| hCG US TtcOgllZe TIE ldCt CHdt
the powers Of darkness are usual
~ active at the present time and
that they are no enervated, an
aemic weaklings is evidenced by
the general moral conditions as
we find them today. There seems
to be general lowering of the high
standards of our forefatherS and
how to meet these conditions and
overcome them, is one Of the ser
lous problems confronting us.
Now that our splendid army is
returning to our shores the sol
dlerS come back to us with
broader outlook upon life, but
many Of them are not the same as
before they joined the army.
Notwithstanding the good infu-
ences that constantly surrounded
them, many Of the boys seem to
have lost their former interest in
the better things of life and this
condition offers one of the great
est opportunities the Sunday
School has ever had thrust upon
it. No halfway measures will
now answer. Our best is de-
manded of us that we may not
only prevail upon them to join us,
but to HOLD them. No half
hearted measures will accomplish
tins, we must put our prayerful,
best efforts into the work. Not
only our discharged soldiers, but
the younger ones, as well as
some Of those who are older, are
expecting the Sunday School to
DE worth while. With but an
hour each week to emphasize
Bible truths, we are impressed |
with the Importance of the organ
lied Sunday School work as we
now find it. To be sure, great
strides have been made and much |
more efficient work is now being
done than in former years, but
there is still need of not only the
moral backing OF our homes, but |
also a higher standard Of eficien-
cy in our Sunday Schools. With
out these the efforts Of the work
ers will be greatly hampered and
1t is undoubtedly a serious fact
that our faith in God is limited to
our knowledge of Him and it is
In the Sunday School that We gain
much of our knowledge of Him
and surely God has blessed the
work
With a view to improving our
methods and increasing the eff
cheney of our Sunday Schools the

which is composed of the County
officers, plan a campaign and a
series of meetings throughout the
county. They wish to know what
is being done by our Sunday
Schools and believe that through

-ial factor in the solution of some
