REAL BLESSING
Rain Fails To Halt AZ
ternoon Baptist Re
vivai Meeting

Notwithstanding the rainstorm
which visited Ameiicus Monday aft
erRoon, DR., W. II. Slcdgc, who is
conducting revival services at ne
First Baptist Church, preached to
an audience of people which filled
more than two-thirds of the larg,
auditorium Dr. SIcdge's talk in thc
afternoon was considered by his
hearers as one Of the sweetest and
most comforting messages which he
has delivered during the series.
In THE Ministry of the Messeng-
els Of Sorrow he told that sorrow
IS one element which binds friends
closer together and makes one-time
strangers friends through this tie
which knits hearts closer together i'm
the sweetest bond in the world
Sorrow came in the case of Job,
for instance said Dr.. Sledgo. "as
a monument to the faithfulness of
God. When Jobs wife came to him.
in the moment of physical torture
and agonzed mental suffering and
advised him to curse God and die,
rather than live, Job replied, though
He Stay me, yet will | trust, God"
This faith on the part Of job won for
him promises upon which his future
rested"
Sorrow, if rightly taken" con
tinued DR.. Sledge, "briucs us nearer
to God, fitting us also to sympathize
with others who are in deep dis.
tress."
At the conclusion of the sermon,

Alice Joyce rode horse. when she
was little girl. Her father held her
in the saddle.
That fact enabled her to start in
the movies.
She was in New York to earn her
living. She had posed for one artist.
Other artists did not need her type.
She was pounding pavements and
laboring IN studio stairs to find work
as a model when she heard that the
old kalem company wanted some
one to ride a horse.
She asked for the place. Sure, she
had ridden when she was a little girl.
The horse galloped and Alice cIuug

Nearly everybody in Southwest
Missouri either knows or has heard
Of the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a
full half century has devoted his life
and talents to Sunday school and
organization work for the Society Of
Friends or Quakers.
"Uncle Parker" as he is more fa-
miliarly known, came from fine old
rugged Quaker stock, and there is
not better known or more highly
respected citizen in that part Of
the state. In referring to his re-
markable restoration to health by
Tanlac, he said
"About five years ago suffered a
general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me, and had
to live on a very restricted diet. /
suffered a great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; / had severe pains
across the small of my back and was
badly constipated most Of the time.
In fact, was so weak and rundown
was not able to attend to my
duties.
"This condition made me very ner-
vous and could not sleep at night,
Frequently / would lie awake most
all night and was in that condition
more or less for five years. Ny
physician said he could not do any
thing for me and suggested a
change of climate. / then moved to

FlSHERMEN'S LORE

Some Of the bites" In fishing lore
are:
1t is luck for a fisherman to get
his feet wet.
1t is unlucky for fisherman to
tread on his line.
1t is unlucky for a fisherman to meet
anyone with req hair.
1t is lucky for a bird to fly across
the ishermans lines.
The fisherman who meets a lone
crow viii have no luck.
If, while fishing, you hook water
snake, look out for false friends
Don't count the fish you caught or
yeu will catch no more that day.
Talking about rabbits while going
on a fishing trip win bring bad luck.
To keep up your good luck burn
the teeth of the largest fish you catch.
If you catch live fish in your
hand and hold 1t, you will get money,
It is unlucky to have a stranger
the first to greet one on his fishing
journey
When fshwOrms appear on top Of
the ground It is sign that fish are
ready to bite.
If you quarrel with a member Of
your family before you start out, you'll
have good luck.
Fishermen consider three, FIVE, and
seven lucky numbers, and they won't
stop on an even number.
During the day Of fishing proceed.
ings it IS bad luck to have some one
stop and ask you if you had a good
catch
If minnow dies on the hook, the

as It is a sign he win have no more
luck that day.
When the new moon is seen while
fishing the crew Of the boat will look
at the first coin they take from their
pockets and II the majority show heads
they will have good luck.

COMPTROLLER THINKS

The country is now in many re-
speets on a sounder basis, economic
cally, than it has been for years,
comptroller Of the currency John
Shelton Williams informed congress
in what he termed as his seventh
and last annual report"
Detlation, obviously inevitable a
year ago, has come, he said, and
prices of many basic commodities and
raw materials have returned to
| pre-war levels or below. 1t now re-
mains for the iniddle-man,n the
comptroller declared, "to adjust his
profits to the new prices before the
ultimate consumer viii receive the
benefit of the reduced cost of living
Labor, however, Mr.. Williams
said, must soon determine whether
shutdown and idleness is preferred
to lower wage scale which takes
into consideration the lower living
charges. Mills and factories can not
afford to operate unless they can
turn out commodities at prices the
public can afford to pay, he as
serted, and it is better for the manu-
facturers to operate and produce
goods at cost or at very narrow
margin of profit than to close down
entirely Participation by labor with
capital in the profits, he suggested as
the only principle to restore business.

more settled or stabilized" he de-
clared in a summary Of the present

needed adjustments are effected in
the costs to the consumer of steel
and iron products, which are still
quoted about twice their pre-war
prices, and when coal, for which the
government itself has paid in recent
months as much as four times the
pre-war price, and certain other COM
modities which are now being kept up
artificially, or as a result of mo-
nopolistic control far above the pre-
war figures, get back to normal
level, our country resting on a solid
foundation, will be prepared to en-
ter upon new and, let us hope,
| long enduring era of prosperity and
healthy progress"
During the fiscal year ended June
30,l920, the comptroller said, there
were 8,517 national banks in oper--
alton, the highest number ever opeE-
ated and despite the difficulties en-
countered, they made the best record
in immunity from failure in about
40 wears. The percentage Of the
capital of failed banks to the total
capital Of all banks, he explained,
was about o-one-thousandths of
