The work is the cuI nination Of Mr.

In the certainty that right always tri-
umphs over the forces of evil, and
that the justice meted out by the SUI
preme Power is felt on earth without

Lord had visited upon him. His wife

The minister reEared his plan of

OF his earthly vassais and how his
faith was restored is the dramatic
and sensational climax OF the story.

Don't forget that the Phillips Coun-
ty Fair is less than two weeks away
and that there is a long list OF prizes
to go to somebody. Advertising is
necessary on the farm as well rs in
any other business, and no better ad-
vertising is obtainable than exhibits
at a fair. Good exhibits not only ad-
vertise your own accomplishments
but the community and county as a
whole.
The kiddies have an opportunity to
get In on the money and excitement
in a number of ways. One thing the
boys should look into and prepare
for is the novelty relay race. A great
deal of interest is being taken in the
parade Of school children. besides the
big main parade.
Racing fans cannot afford to miss
this fair. Real fast horses are enter
ed. and as for the automobile races.
they will be worth going almost any
distance to see.
Entries are coming In thick and
fast in the agricultural and stock de-
partments but there is always room
for one more. and competition will
only make the prize more desirous.

of the Cash Store. has offered prize
of SIS for the best loaf OF bread and
