Napier to Make His
Campaign in Auto

ATLANTA, June 15.-Automo-
bile campaigning is popular with
statehouse candidates this summer.
1t beats the railroad in hot weather,
and then there are no schedules and
late trains to fuss with.
Colonel George M. Napier, of De-
Kalb, finds many advantages in au-
tomobile travel in his campaign for
attorney general. He says he is 60
ing to cover and see more of Geor-
gia before the primary, than he could
possibly do in any other way.
Everybody interested in Georgia's s
growth and development and in what
the state is doing along progressive
lines, should tour Georgia to the full
est possible extent" Col Napier said
as he left today for a two weeks trip
in the eastern and southeastern Sec
tions of the state. 81 find it the only
satisfactory and expeditions way to
travel, not alone for comfort and
prOmptness in moving from point to
point, but for meeting the people and
acquiring an accurate idea of condi-
tions in the country; and l consider

am heartily enjoying it.
Col. Napier, who was the first
statehouse candidate to pay his pri-
mary entrance fee, says the situa.
ton is quite satisfactory, and that he
expects to reach nearly every county
in Georgia before September 8.

Convicts now Harvesting
Oats on County Farm

The county convict gang, which
has been engaged in laying the paw
ing on the Dixie Highway until re-
Gently, is. now engaged in harvest
ing oats on the county farm, four
miles from Americus. Ninety acres
planted in small grain there, has been
harvested by them already and they
are now engaged in threshing and
storing the grain. Supt. Ansley, who
is in charge of this county farm,
stated this afternoon that the oats
had not been measured, and that he
could not estimate the yield per acre
accurately, but that there would be
about enough to furnish feed for the
county mules until another oat
crop is planted and harvested. The
land where the oats were cut will be
sowed in late corn and velvet beans
at once, several convicts being re-
tanned there while this work is in
progress. The crops are tended by
inmates of the county poor farm,
who are housed there.

WEEVIL CONTEST
NEARING END
Bad Day For Whites
Gives Colored Pickers
Lead

With approximately 4,500 boil wee
wills already destroyed by boys and
girls engaged in the contest inaugur-
ated by Americus merchants, the last
day of the hunt will begin tomorrow.
Up to yesterday the white boys and
girls had a coed lead on tEe negroes
in the contest but Monday the whites
got into the fields of J.
A. Forrest, which were al
most clear of the pests. and only
three weevils were bagged by the com
combined workers during a whole
days work. While this is encourag-
ing as indicating the thoroughness
with which the weevils have been
eradicated, the boys and girls, many
of them, were discouraged by the
days results. The negroes were more
successful, finding about 450 Wee
wills which enabled them to get lead
in the contest. This will not affect
the distribution of prizes, however, as
these are divided between the whites
and blacks under the rules.
The contest will close Wednesday
night, George o. Marshall said to-
day, and as soon thereafter as the
scores can be compiled the names of
the winners will be made public. Pres
ent plans contemplate the distribution
of prizes and payment for weevils
picked on Monday afternoon.
Only forty-nine contestants re-
manned at work today, although a
larger number than this started when
the community hunt for weevils was
first announced.

SAYS BERCDOLL
IS AIDING VILLA
Oil Man Declares Rich
Draft Evader is in
Mexico
BY JACK CARBERRY,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

MATTOMOROS, Mex, June 15.-
Grover C. Bergdoll-ieutenant to
Pancho Villa?
That is the story going the rounds
here today. 1t was brought back
from San Luis Potosi by Alfredo
Sada, oil worker of the Panuco dis
trict east of Tampico, who claims to
have seen Bergdoll, his chauffeur, a
companion and Mexican guide near
Aguscalientes.
The guide, according to Sada, had
been engaged by Bergdoll, draft
evador, who escaped from two nom
commissioned army officers at his
Philadelphia home, May 21, to ne
gotiate with Villa for the safety of
Bergdoll.
The party, Sada said, was carrying
S150,000 in American gold to be paid
the bandit chief for the protection
of Bergdoll, who was to become a
member of Villas band.
Bergdoll, according to the story
here, is reported to have driven to
the border from a point on the Flori-
da coast. He made his entrance into
Mexico, Sada claims, at point be-
tween Eagle Pass and Laredo.

Souther Field Events

SOUTHER FIELD, June Is
Souther Field is on an active basis
these days with the receiving and sto-
ring of ships and motors in the gener-
al supply depot. Particular attention
has to be observed in the storing of
the delicate parts Of the motors, and
numbers of the men are engaged dai-
ly in sorting, marking and wrapping
the machinery for careful packing.
From all indications Souther Field
is to remain a permanent air post.
The men stationed there are given de-
tailed work which further substan-
tiates this. All are happy and enjoy
ing the splendid summer weather.
Cook John D. Newman, of Angus
ia, stationed at Souther Field for
some time past, received his discharge
from the army Monday. Cook Hew-
man achieved the distinction of being
able to cook more beans than any
other cook in the service. He will re-
turn to his home in Augusta immedi-
ately following his discharge.
Souther Field is makaing prepara-
tions for the great celebration and
aerial circus July 5. This celebration
will give the public an idea of what
army life is like, especially in the av-
iation department. Both the technical
and practical points will be demon
strated concerning aviation, and the
advantages to be received from join
ing the air service.

urW CONGRESS AT YOUR
FAvORITE MOVIE

Rarnum said that his greatest
show on earth" was an educational
in its way and that no
expense was too great to take it
among the people. The group of
notion picture producers who are en-
deayoring to convince several con-
uessional committees that the daily
work and activities of Congress
should be shown in movie houses
the land doubtless have
the same idea as to the educational
advantages it will be in having the
greatest legislative body on earth"
brought before the public on the mo-
ton picture screen. Occasional views
are now permitted to be taken of
some extraordinary happenings in
either Senate or House, or in some
Of the important committees of both
houses, but the plan of the motion
picture magnates is to show Congress
day by day" and to make explain
atoms when the views are presented,
q to the subjects being discussed,
and to show extracts from the re-
marks and speeches made by the of
teals who appear in the picture. 1t
i not the idea to "plav politics" by
the means of the movie comera but
to take Congress to the folks back
home in such clear and understand
able way that the people will have a
clearer and more perfect knowledge
Of the things and events that 90 to
make or mar their welfare and hap
pness than could be given them in
any other manner. Taking Congress
to the people, instead of bringing
the people to Congress, is not such a
Dad idea after all the minds of many
Of the legislators, but just when this
Innovation can be brought about is
the decision awaited by the movie

PASTURES ARE IMPORTANT
EARN ASSET, SAYS NELSON

No farm, large or small, where live
stock of any kind is kept, should be
without some good pasture. A good
pasture is a most valuable farm as
set, in the opinion of Martin Nelson,
Vice-Dean and director of the Col
lege of Agriculture and the Expert
ment Station, University of Arkan-
sas. 1t saves much feed that would
otherwise have to be produced at con-
siderable cost and it makes possible
keeping live stock in better condition,
insuring better growth and better
returns.
1.-THE pasture is, as a rule, much
neglected necessity" says Dean Mel
son. Good pastures are worth the
cost of making and maintaining. They
also constitute natures best protec-
ton of the land. 1t is vital and
timely and important that the pas
ture receive consideration at once.
Now is the time to procure the seed
to be sown. Now is the time to clean
up waste land of brush and rubbish.
getting ready for seeding grass, and
now is the time to pillow the cropped
land that is to be put into pasture.
Preparation should not be delayed.
Grass seed, including also Red, Al
sike, and White Glover and alfalfa,
should be seeded as early as possible,
which will be in February and early
March. Late seeding is far less GER
tain of success.
s'On all new land, including stump
and stony land, most satisfactory
way of seeding is to go over the land
first with spring tooth harrow, then
sow the seed broadcast with. especial
care to scatter it evenly aud finish
with a spike tooth harrow or brush.
This method is satisfactory and eco
nomical if done early. If the stunps
are thick on the land, small sized
spring tooth harrow is preferable.
"If land already under cultiva-
ton is to be seeded, the above meth
cd, done early, is satisfactory pro-
vided the land has little rubbish on
the suface in the form of weeds and
stalks. 1t is best to pillow such rub
bish under, smooth the surface, sow
the seed and finish with a spike
tooth harrow.
where timber lapd is to be con-
verified into PASTURE the timber can
either be cut off or deadened, grass
seed sown with or without any cul-
ltivation, and goats, if they have suf-
ficent range, be permitted to stay
on the land and brouse back the
brush and sprouts.

BETTER FARMING HINTS

O.. G. Moser, Editor.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-04-09

W. N. Fleming has moved his Of
fee from the Farmers :iank building
into the building formerly occupied
by the public library. Such change of
locations is entirely satisfying to both
concerns, and Mr.. Fleming is partic-
ularly pleased with the change, which
gives him a more central location and
splendid room, Also the new loca-
ton for the public library perhaps
suits its purposes fully as well as its
former location in the Tetley building.
The County Judges met Monday in
regular monthly session, and are sit
ting both as a Board Of Equalization
and as a. County Court. When there
is no business as an equalizing board,
they take up their regular work as a
court. The chances are that there
will be considerably raising of some
assessed values, in order to bring.
about greater amount of apparent
fairness and equality, especially in re-
gard to the thoroughbred stock as
sessments, as there is much fine stock
in this county, which has evidently al
ways heretofore escaped equitable
taxation.

TO SUPPLY FARM LABOR

In an effort to find labor for the
farms of the State this year, the Sal
walton Army has opened an office in
the Odd Fellows building at st. Louis
for the purpose of recruiting labor.
The method used by the organization
is simple and has the appearance of
being workable.
Local committees formed last year
for the purpose of raising funds for
the Army have been asked to distrib-
ute copies of QUESTIONABLE which
lists the needs of the individual farm
er. When these are filed in and re-
TUNED to the city office they are list
ed with the several branches of the
Salvation Army and an effort made to
find the man needed.
Contrary to opinion, there is an
available supply of labor in the cities
which may be diverted to the farms.
Much of this is skilled in farm work
and many of the men applying for
work are heads of families who desire
to leave the city and locate perma-
nently on farms.

that passed upon all men, but death.
For the sin of disobedience Adam
lost his paradaisic home; lost eternal
life and divine fellowship, and instead
got sickness, pain, sorrow, death. Adj
ditionally, all of his posterity, reason
ably estimated at twenty thousand
millions, disinherited so far as the
blessings are concerned, have inher-
tied weaknesses, mental. moral and
physical, and are, as the Apostle de-
clares, "a groaning creation" rom,
S:22).
Notice again why our Lord died for
our redemption, and see another evil
dence of the penalty. If the penalty
had been eternal torment, our redemp-
ton from it would have cost our Lord
the penalty, hence Jesus did not pay
that penalty for US. Death was the
penalty and so Christ died for our
sins" "By the grace of God he tast-
ed death for every man."
AS the result of the redemption of
Adam and the whole human race "all
that are in their graves shall hear his
voice and shall come forth" zion 5:
28-29). The remainder of John 5:29
explains that there will be two gen.
eral classes of the dead to come forth:
the first, those who have had their
trial and have passed it successfully;
the second, all the remainder of man
kind who have thus far failed to have
divine approval. The approved will
come forth from the tomb unto res
direction Of Interpretation; the dis
approved will come forth unto q res
direction of judgment (see Revised
Verson). st. Paul explains that they
will come forth every man in his own
order Il Cor. 1920. On thus being
awakened the privilege will be theirs
Of rising up, up, up out Of present
degradation, mental, moral and phys
ical, to the glorious perfection which
Father Adam enjoyed in the image
and likeness of his Creator.
This uplifting or resurrecting work
st. Peter refers to as "the restitution
Tor restoration) Of all things, which
God has spoken by the mouth of al |
mis- holy prophets since the world be
gam Acts 3:2l.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-04-09

funeral services were conducted by :
minister of the International Bible
Students Association of st. Louis, who
spoke in part as follows:
When the great enemy of the hui
man race, Death, makes its presence
felt in our midst by taking away some
friend or loved one, and when the
heart is we'll nigh broken with grief
and sadness, we instinctively ask: is
death real, will sickness and pain and
disease always be with US? Is there
never to be any change from this con-
dition? Will mankind ever be happy
free from pain, sickness and death?
There are many conflicting answers
to these questions, and the only sane
reasonable and satisfactory answer is
found in the Word of God which teach
es that man was made superior to all
the brute creation in the image and
likeness of his Creator. Adam, in his
trial or testing, failed and came under
the death sentence, which was "In the
day that thou eatest thereof, dying
thou shalt die" (Gen. 2:1O.. There
the dying began, which, after $50
years, brought Adam to the tomb, ano
involved all of his children in his weak
ness and death sentence.
He died in that very day, which the
Apostle Peter explains was not "a
hour day, but 1000-year day, saying
Zone day with the Lord is as 1000
years q Peter 3:8). During six Of
the great days the death sentence has
brought man down, in some respects,
to the level of the brute and left him
without hope for future life, except as
God might take compassion upon him
and bring relief.
But not until four of the great 1000
year days had passed did God send
forth His Son to redeem the race, by
paying Father Adams penalty, by dy-
ing "the just for the unjust that he
might bring us to God Il Peter 3:1S).
As result of that redemptive work
at Calvary, there is to
be resurrection Of the dead, both OF
the just and of the unjust"
Note well the mistake made in as
suming that eternal torment is the
wages of original sin, when the
Scriptures explicitly declare that "the
wages ofs sin is death"-not eternal
Rom 6:23). We search
The Genesis account of mans fall and
the sentence imposed but find no sug-
gcstion of future punishment, but
merely "a death penalty. "Dust thou
art and unto dust shalt thou return"
Gen. 3:19). But, he said not one
word respecting devils, fire and tor
nent. How, then, did the Adversary
deceive, our fathers during the dark
lges withshis errors, which, the Apos-
lie styles idoctrines Of devils? Note
he fact that none, of the prophecies
any other-than a death epn-
lily for sin. Note that the New, Tes-
ament, likewise, declares the same.
st.. Paul, who wrote more than one
lalf of the New Testament and who |
assures us that he did mot sshun to
Ieelare the whole counsel Of God"
Acts 20:27), says not one word about
orment. On the contrary, discussing |
his very matter Of sin and its penal
v, he says Therefore, as by one man |
in entered the world, and death by |
in, and so death passed upon all men,
or that all have sinned' rom. 6:12G.
