Yes. the task that is given to each
man no other can do;
So the errand is waiting; It has waited
for ages for you;
And now you appear and the flushed
Ones are turning their gaze
To see what you do with your chance
in the chamber of days.

seems indistinct. Considering duty
is often only explaining II away. De-
liberation is often only dishonest.
Gods guidance is plain when we are
true"
This principle Is well illustrated IN
the case of Balaam. who was Oh
viner. dwelling on the Euphrates, and
having some knowledge Of the true
God. When Israel was encamped In
the plains of Moab, on the way to
Canaan, Balak the king Of the Moab
ties sent for BALKAN to curse Israel,
Offering him great rewards for his d.
vination.
When the princes of Moab came to
Balaam. he inquired of Jehovah rs to
what he should do. The answer of the
Lord was plain: Thou shalt nos go
with them; thou shalt not curse the
people for they are blessed"

RaIaam,s Great Mistake.

Balak, however, was in such distress
that he sent more princes, even more
honorable than the first, with prom
Uses of great honor for BALKAN II he
would only curse Israel. 1t was Just
at this point that Balaam erred. The
viii of Cod in the premises had al
ready been made clear, and the Sec
ond invitation from Balak should have
met with an instant No! Instead OF
this, Balaam replied. 'Now, there
fore, ! pray you. tarry We here this
night, that may know what the Lord
viii say unto me more" What more
did he need?
It is evident that Balkan did not
lack light, any more than we usually
lack 1t in matters of duty, 1t was be-
eause of base motives entering IN, max
Ing him unwilling to walk In the light
gouchsafed to him, that he sought from
Sod a reversal Of the directions already
given. Avarice and ambition overpow-
cred him. His eye was on the re-
wards of divination in the hands OF
Balak's princes, and his imagination
was kindled by the promise of great
aonor at Balak's court.
Yet 1t is to be noted that even while
Navering as to his duty, he spoke great
swelling words of integrity: "If Balak
would give me his house full of silver
and gold, cannot go beyond the word
5f the Lord my God, to do less or
more Yet he went forth to tease
God, If we may so speak, for a re-
versal of his decree.

The Folly of D'sobedience.

What was the outcome? Instead of
pleasing Balak by cursing Israel, he
displeased him by blessing them.
Finally, he seems to .ave corrupted
Israel by means of the Midianitish
women and was slain by the Israel
ties along with other enemies Of God
(Num. 81 :S). He stands pilloried in
Holy Writ as man who sought the
wages of unrighteousre and who cast

BIG GAME HUNT IS STARTED BY BIOLOGISTS,
 ARMED WITH PICKS, SHOVELS

States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, under the direction of J. w. Gidley, and others. The American Museum of New York will have the usual party here taking what they de- sire but continuing the search for Dinohyus an ancestral hog about the size of the OK in height and weight. A fine skeleton of the Dino hyus was secured in 1904 by the Moril Geological Expedition. It stood nearly seven feet in height
 In prehistoric times, the place now called Agate Springs Ranch is believ- ed by some to have been a water hole, similar to the modern African water holes where at times great herds of animals gathered to drink Other scientists believe the place to have been once a lake and that carcasses drifted to this spot and their bones dropped. Captain Harold I. Cook, son of the owner of the ranch and con- sulting engineer says it seems more probable that the bone bed is the re- suit of great eddy in a cove along the shore line of an immense river. The carcasseS of various herds and indi- viduals are believed to have been. lodged in the cove. This, he be- lieves would account for the partial aggregation of types as well as the miscellaneous mixture of animals found in the quarries
 The Titanotherium, or giant beast, is the largest animals bones to be found in this region It is about the sze of an elephant. The most com- mon fossil mammal in the bad lands of Nebraska is the Oredon, an herbiv- oruS animal about the size of the do- nestle sheep. As many as eight or ten skulls of the Oredon have been found frequently in space no longer than the floor of an ordinary room.
 It has been discovered here by scientists that America is the home of the rhinoceros, the camel, as we'll as that of the horse and many other ami mals now to be found only in foreign countries or not at all. MT. Cook says that Nebraska is the home of rhinocerosis and their wanderings led them into other parts of the world. At Agate, their bones and skulls occur in heaps. He says they became ex tnct in Nebraska at the close of pllcocene - half million years ago.
 The fossils collected from the bone beds at Agate Springs Ranch are en- tirely mammalianP Only few of these however, attract general attention, such as titanotheres. oredon, rhinocer- osis, horses. hogs. bovine. mastodons, mammoths, camels, deer and carni- YOreS

Price Slashes On Tires Are Helping Buy At Home Move

The rapidity with which the tire industry readjusted itself to meet new conditions, the increased pro duction of tires at a lower cost, and the low prices of raw materials, has brought about a downward revision of selling prices at the opportune moment for the motorist.
 Price adjustments came just as the spring demand for tires is at it's highest, when people are figuring on vacation trips. This, reduction in the price of tires, says Ed Simmons of the Cochise Motor Co.,, agent for the popular Fisk tires, has made a wonderful difference in business al- ready. Instead of shopping about from place to place to buy one tire they find out the new Iprices, and very often say put me on a pair of them"
 'The present price on tires will stimulate the desire to. buy at home" says Simmons, thus helping busi- ness in our own tiwn. For the last few years the prices on standard makes of tires have been so high that we had to compete in price with mail order makes. although at the high price we could, save the motor ist money. but it was q. constant ef- fort as a great many people look only at the price.
 Now that the vacation season is here and most everyone is answering the call of the wild. let us hope they will all roll out on good tires"

IMP OR TANCE ,OF FLUSHING OUT
 CRANK CASE
BY F. THAYER, OF THAYER'S
 GARAGE

We would like to emphasize the i'm portance of flushing and cleaning out the engine crank-case regularly, or at least every thousand miles. In the first place, this is necessary be cause any and all grades of oil loose their lubricating qualities, from being heated and cooled so much. by the natural running and standing of the car
 Second: unless the car is pro- v;ded with a very fine strainer, in the filler or breather. to prevent dirt, dts. or lint getting in the crank-case, ono Cf these three. or in some instnc- es all of them, will get into the crank case and retard. if not entirely ob- struct circulation of oil.
 Last and most important, when any automobile engine is running the top of the piston is very nearly red hot, at all times, being part of the com bustion chamber. So it is easily seen that the lander side of the piston is just as hot as the top. and the fact that the oil-splash, which is the lubri- cant for most engines, throws the oil around, in the crank-case, the oil go ing clear up inside of the pistons and hitting the under side of the piston head. which (as We remarked before) is very nearly red hot. thereby burn ing the oil, and forming a thick coat of carbon on the under side of the piston head. which is wide open to the crank-case, containing the oil
 Now with the running of the engine there is certain amount of vibration, and this carbon becomes loosened, falling into the crank-case, mixing with the oil, forming positive abras- i've, which is fatal to cylinder walls, pistons and rings, also bearings. As this condition can in no way be pre- vented, the only solution is to drain out old oilI flush engine with a pre- pared flushing oil, and replace with new oil, for a distance not to exceed on thousand miles. thereby prolong- ing the life and the smooth running of any automobile engine.

Fire hydrants and changing fire bells should be safety warnings to cautious motorists.
 Keep away from fire hydrants Not only because it's against the law to park close to them. In case of fire nearby, car too near hydrant must be moved and the firemen are not slow or careful about it either. Lock ed cars, pushed away in a hurry, are in danger of injury.
 Fire bells heard while driving are warning to move to the right inn mediately and stop. Never look to see which way the fire trucks are

/AGATE, Neb., May 2S. - (By The Associated Press) - The annual big game hunt of trained geologists and paleon tologists of the world is under way at the Agate Springs Ranch near here. Instead or using high powered rifles to bag their game, these ex- rt-hunters of rhinorcerosis, masto- dons. camel and deer use a pick and shovel. The animals sought are not live ones, but are the bones of pre- historic earth travellers of a million or so years ago.
 The Agate Springs Ranch, owned by Captain James H. Cook, extends along the Niobrara river for ten miles in Sioux county and is about twenty five miles southeast of Harrison. On it is located what is said to be the greatest prehistoric bone quarry in the world.

 l. M. George, of Kingman, and asso-
 ciates, are preparing to operate the
 Hubbard, General Lee, Arnold and

 properties produced a considerable
 tonnage of very high grade ore, most
 1f which was shipped to Swansea,
 Wales. It is now the plan, however, to erect a mill convenient to the sev-
 9ral shafts, as the plant recently es- tablished at the C. o. D. mine demon
 strates that the refractory silver ores of this county can be reduced at a substantial profit. The metallurgical pioneering" done by the Dudley in terests in the C. O. D. mine and mill of the base-ore bearing mines here, have paved the way for the reopen;
