+ The women's civic improvement
committee appreciates the kind recep-
tions for the street contest in Bemidji
this summer. In order to render as
much assistance as possible as the
planting season comes on, the follow
ing plan has been suggested:
-Don't Throw Bulbs Away.
First, that you give your spare
seeds, bulbs, or cuttings from your
vines to your neighbor who has none.
If you have more spare time than
your neighbor, you might offer to as
sist in the planting. Whatever makes
your neighborhood more attractive
adds =: to the value of your own
premises. = .
Second, that if you do not know
Of anyone who needs your seeds or
cuttings, telephone 692. The COM
mittee will act as an exchange and
see that. helpful distributions are
made Those who would like to have
the seeds or cuttings will please call

now available. - l.: =

:. Third, that you do not wait to be
appointed or urged, but act as COM
mittee Of one to arouse interest in
this movement in your neighborhood.
The two hundred and fifty members
Of the club should be two hundred
and fifty centers of agitation. The
results achieved will depend upon the
breadth Of interest shown. -

THE DEVILS PREACHERS.

THE DEVILS PREACHERS.
The "eternal torment" people
seem to deeply resent the lib
critics I take in advocating a
civilized theology in opposition
to their brutal and 'uncivilized
creeds. They seem to take the
position that they alone have
the right to disseminate their
views, regardless Of whether
they are right or wrong, while all
the rest Of us who do disagree
with their fool stuff must be
very humble and keep our
mouths shut.
But if you want to see one
teller that is not going to keep
his mouth shut, his. name is
Pearson, and his address is
Boomer, North Carolina.
After long and careful study
of the subject [ have finally
and fully made up my mind that
the Bible does not teach any
such stuff as eternal torment for
the wicked. It is a SANDER
against God to insinuate that He
would make such a plan or al
low such a thing to be done.
Just as long, therefore, as
Orthodoxy continues to SANDER
God in such a way, [ shall con-
tinue to defend His holy name
and character against all their
devil-begotten lies.
The devil is a low-down brutal
character, and [ can very easily
conceive how HE might like to
torment people eternally if he
could. But to impute such a
purpose or disposition to our low
ing Heavenly Father, the Crea-
tor of us all, is the rankest and
blacklist blasphemy that ever
was spawned in the diseased
brain of a theological fool.
To the preachers [ say this:
, God has His true preachers in
the world, and the devil has his
false preachers. Which are
you? Whose trademark do you
bear? If you are labelled with
Gen. ga, then you are the devils
preacher, and he is we'll pleased
with you and your work. Grunt
and squeal and squirm if you
want to, but you'll have to take
! it, for it's the truth. No preach
er that God calls and sends out
is going to SANDER and bias.
1 pheme His name the way you
| fellers do.
} Nothing pleases the devil sc
! we'll as to have people taught
that God is also a devil. Being
unable to lift his shameless
character to an equality with
God, he is trying to pull doW1
n Gods character on a level with
his own. And you "eternal tor
ment" preacher fellers are help
t ing him to do it.
j Be ashamed of yourselves
you poor miserable hypocrites
who borrow the livery of Coz
S to serve the devil in.
Get down in the dust will
your fine buds and ask God t.
forgive you, and then get up am

ANOTHER DEBATE.
,BetWeen OrthO DOx and Herrv
Tick.

Did God make Adam and Eve?
Yes.
Where did he put them?
. In the Garden of Eden.
Where was the Garden of
Eden?
On the earth.
Was there a heaven at that
time?
Yes.
Where was it?
Away up above the stars.
Was heaven made for Adam
and Eve to go to after they had
lived in the Garden of Eden on
earth a certain length of time?
Yes, [ guess it was.
II Adam and Eve had not sin
ned and Gisobeyed God would
thew ever have gone to heaven?
Yes, of course. They would
have been good folks, and all
good folks go to heaven.
When would they have gone to
heaven?
When they died, Of course: All
good people go to heaven when
they died.
And so you think they would
have died anyhow, whether
they sinned Or not? What
about death being the wages of
sin?
El-lemme see, noW-maybe
they wouldn't. [ believe it does
say that death was the result
of sin.
Then you must admit that if
they had not sinned they would
net have died, and consequently
they would have gone to heaven
at. all.
Does seem so, sure enough,
but I had not thought of it in
that way.
Well, then, since it. took sir
and death to get the way oper
so that Adam and Eve could &C
to heaven, it must be that sir
and death are good things anl
blessings to the race. What
about that?
[ don't know. That sound>
sOrter strange.
On top of all that, do you know
for certain that Adam and EV'
went to heaven anyhow? The,
lived and died a long time be
fore there was any Christ to be
lieve in. Then isn't it quite pos
sible that they died in their sin
and went to hell?
Yes, that is possible. [ don
know what to think about it
You T. getting me all tangle'
up. .
Well, tell me this: Was
absolutely necessary for Adam
and Eve to go to heaven or he
either? Did it ever occur t
YOU that maybe Gods origins
plan was for them to live RICH
here on the earth forever?
No, l had never thought abou
that.
They we're in Paradise here o
earth. They possessed an enc
less life-on condition that the
we're obedient. They couldn'
90 to heaven without dying; an
they couldn't die without SIM
ing: and they couldn't sin with
out going to hell. So where wa
their chance of ever getting
heaven in any case?

the light in Anne's eyes when she slip

curse himself inwardly for not being

FASHION BRIEFS

II you wero to buy your suit In Paris
this year you would get one Of three or
four things. A temptation would be
formed by the paletot form of which
Jenny is 80 fond and which sho has sent
to New York In various collections. This
has wide naring sleeves. II either
hangs straight or Is drawn in at the hip
line. To the woman Of medium or
super-medium height nothing is more
becoming than these suits with the
jaunty short coats.
One Of the greatest suit poets OF
Paris is Bulloc, who sends us this year
several signihcant new themes. One Of
these is the extremely long coat fitted to
the figure and terminating in skirt Sec
tions cut in haring godets In such a way
as to produce the effect Of tunic over
the tight underskirt itself. This model
has been echoed In New York In vari-
Gus forms. including suit with waist
line Jacket to which the tunic Of the
skirt extended the courtesy of a lower
section. Whether, In fact. the tunic be
attached to skirt or coat, tho silhouette
desired Is Just the same.
But more spectacular than this is the
princess suit with which Bulloc has
experimented in some OF his most elab-
crate suit creations The coat Of this is
made generally with soft crush drapery
across the front to break the stif re.
gime Of the old time princess. The
front piece fastens at the side and a
bias cut insures the ripple at the hem. :
But the interesting part about this
adaptabiiity. For the coat buttoning
up snugly about the neck and extending
almost to the hem of the skirt may be
worn either with or without blouse.
