Talking Ears Off the Wheat

Whatever we may have thought OF
the plight OF those Americans held
prisoners in red Russia, who now come
safely out, we learn to our satisfac-
ton that they were through IL all too
strong in spirit to be broken by the
doubts and dangers of their situation.
We are told that one of them, DIR,
Weston b. Estees, struggled messages
through to our state department and
declared: we would rather rot here
than be exchanged for Russian Grim
inals in the United States That
speaks for itself.
The Estes letter shows the prison
ers lacked not for observation and re
Election and for expression of what
they earned in language of an effective
economy. Warning this government
against entering into diplomatic ne
gotiations with the Moscoy dictators,
DIR. Estes wrote;

off trees"
So they have. They have talked ears

Governor Hartness has put theory
into practice by being largely instru-
mental in having an airplane landing
field established in his home town Of
Springfield. 1t will be recalled that
Gov, Hartness, in his inaugural ad
dress, laid much stress on the desir-
ability of having landing fields for air
craft in order to catch the early air
traffic. That traffic has not started up
in the proportions which many people
expected but it seems probable that
the air machines will be utilized much
more generally than they are at the
present time. As a matter of fact,
the airplane development for CONNER
cial purposes is at a ~standstill just
now.

That tragedy in Spofford, n. H., in
which an alleged store thief was shot
to death by the proprietor of a store
that had been robbed many times and
was, apparently, about to be robbed
again, marks a period in the criminal
careers of many would-be thieves who
may become eognizant of the facts IN
this case. Few of the small-town
thieves really desire to run up against
cold lead, however much they them
selves may be armed to kill.

Practically every Associate Reformed

was represented and there were repre-

in the county noted in the vast crowd
which was so large that hardly more

his people shall be enabled to return
to Palestine and to Jerusalem. When
he prays he prays with his face to-

when Palestine shall be re-occupied by
the sons of Israel and of judah. To a
Jew there is no place like Jerusalem

1903, when with her pastor, Rev. VIM.
Dixon, she was transferred to the AS
sociate Presbytery of the Carolinas
The cause of this transfer will be
noted later. Sharon remained outside
of the A. r. P. church for 80 or 80
years About 1881 the Associate syn
cd, being mainly in the North, passed
an order that all members of the AS
sociate church holding slaves should
free them Immediately. This cfused
great division and dissension in Sha-
ron. The result was her pastor re-
signed and went North in 1882, and all
her session followed his example
year or two later. This left Sharon
in an unorganiZed state. In 1885 the
church was reorganiZed and enrolled
in the First presbytery of the A. r. p.
church. This time, the minister was
the Rev. Thomas ketchin. Thus Sha-
ron is rounding out just about 125
years of history During this time she
has been connected with five presby-
teries: Presbytery of the Carolinas
and Georgia, Second presbytery Of the
Carolinas and Georgia, Associate pres
bytery of the Carolinas, First presby
terry, A. r. p, Catawba presbytery.
There have been two houses OF wor-
ship. The first was Il log house. The
second this. This house was remod-
eled in 1904. The land on which the
church stands was donated by John
Millen, 13 acres, deed dated March 2,
1889 Joseph Bigham also made n do
nation some time prior to 1926. Will
liam Rainey donated the cemetery and
MIR. J. l.. Rainey in 1856 added do
nation to the cemetery, which COM
pletes the grounds now owned by the
church.
The Pastors Of Sharon.
Sharon now has her fifth pastor, the
other four being, Rev. William Dixon,
Rev. w. NJ. McElwee, ID. d., Rev. r.

county and scattered all over this
Southland 1t was he who poured the
water on my head in baptism and la
ter received me into the church. He
did the same for both my father and
mother. They each also owed much
of their school training to him, as did
many of their generation. He was a
man of unusual gifts-a giant mind, a
stentorian voice, a command OF Ian
guage and compass of thought and
logical acumen that made him a mas
ter. l have heard Uncle Sam Blair
tell of his wonderful influence in syn
cd, and also Mr.. Jno. b. Whitesides.
The Centennial Volume has this to
say: "As a debater and clear reasoner
he had no equal in synod; cool, calm
and deliberate under the most exciting
questions. If synod had needed a su-
preme court judge, unanimous consent
would have invested him with the err
mine. These powers of body and
mind he laid on the altar Of Gods
glory and circumscrbed them within
the sphere OF his convictions and
church." Sharon was proud Of her
great preacher, and not without cause.
He was supposed to be little stern,
and men more often reverenced and
honored' him than loved him. And yet
every one knows that under those
rather rugged eXteriors there beat a
heart infinitely tenderer than in those
full of gush. DR.. E. Z. Boyce broke
down and his voice choked with sobs
when he tried to tell the synod of the
ties that had bound him to DR.. Ross

tify that he was treated with great
tenderness when he appeared before

more could testify If it were needful.

Lachlan Camphells of the old kirk, and
the venerable doctor was the chief of

the farm knew it, and long years after
he was buried they bought flowers and
carried them many miles to lay them

prepared BY the United States Departments
Of Agricuiturel
Valuable results of interest to poul-
trymen have been obtained by the
United States Department OF Agrtcul-
ture In the experimental tests at the
government poultry farm, Beltsville.
Nd, where different rations have been
fed to various groups OF laying hens
for a period Of eight years. At this
time, more than 1000 hens and pullets
are used In feeding trials of this kind.
The pens range In size from 30 to
30 hens, all the fowls being trap-nested
during the period under test. During
tho last three years, the mash which
has given the most uniform and best
production has consisted OF a mixture
Of per cent bran, per cent mid
dlings, 20 per cent meat scrup. and 90
per cent cornmeal. This mash was
the result OF experiments where the
hens were allowed40 select their own
mash ingredientsbs When given free
choice OF these various ingredients. tho
fowls consumed the various ingredi-
ents In the above proportions. Sew

Island Reds. OF 30 hens each have Nv
eraged from 140 TO 1855 eggs apiece
where this mash has been fed. The
feeding mixture seems to be especial
ly adapted for Leghoms. although It
has also given good results with the
Reds. The Wyandottes and Plymouth
Rocks are inclined TO accumulate too
much fat when fed this mash. and one
somewhat lower In meat scrap content
gives better results when fed to these
two breeds.
The Wyandottes and Plymouth

Coach Stagg thought the problem
was linemen In motion when they
were pulled out Of the line. The East
eners appear to be using the rule that
one man may be In motion toward his
own goal while the ball Is being put In
play. This rule was to allow a de-
fenslve fullback to run or move back
into position for kick when his side
was about to punt.
Coach Helsman OF Pennsylvania is
working on a shift play again this year
and intends to put some new wrinkles
In 1t known as expansion Of an idea.
The idea Of the coaches that a play
must stop till IN Official looks II over

the official is looking II over the other
team is doing the same and shifting
men TO meet the attack, for the de-
tenders may be In motion before and
after the ball is snapped, to plan their
attack and take stations which they
think will block an impending inimical
