NOTHING HUMAN IS PERFECT.

A single headline in the daily news
paper tells nothing beyond the context
OF the article it heads. But dozen
Of them may tell quite another story.
For instance, consider this collection,
made from four papers within two
days. Charge Movies Ridicule Pas
tors" Higher Critics Take Church
IJnawares:" 'Baptists Want Books
Free of Evolution Error" Science
Conflicting With Revealed Religion"
Clergy Declare Divorced America
Doomed" 'Deacons Object to Church
Unity" Pastor Leaves Church For
Business;" Explains Contradictions in
Bible;" Dancing Enemy of Church;
.Flappers Cause Of IrreIigion."
Evidently there is a cry in Mace
donna, which comes from some one
having toes heavily stepped oni
1t would seem, on merely casual an
aIysis. that the church which started
with a carpenter and some fishermen
some two thousand years ago and
managed TO live through the destTuc-
ton Of Rome, the evils Of the Dark
Ages, the debauchery and crime Of
few hundred years ago on the Conti-
nent, the World War and the spirit of
untest OF this year of grace 1922 can
probably continue to exist, whether the
movies make fun Of pastors or not,
whether higher critics criticize or not,
whether Baptists or Methodists or any
other section think evolution is an er
ror or not, whether the various denom-
nations are unified ar remain divided
whether Americans get divorces or not,
whether the Biblical contradictions be
explained or not, and whether we have
flapper dancing or staid!
There is probably something wrong
with the church. There is something
wrong with most things. Nothing hu-
man Is perfect, and the church is a
human institution ministering di-
vine truth. But the something
wrong" would seem much more to be
the man who thinks that a flapper or
divorce. or higher criticism or unity
or lack of it can definitely interrupt
the march of true religion, than the
various, sundry and almost always
puerile causes they assign for any
failure of any church to be perfect!

POLITICAL FORECAST

Interviews with parties from all over
the Third Congressional District the
past week would seem to indicate that
Mr.. smithwick is steadily gaining
ground, and that his almost assured
victory in the beginning OF the cam
paign, now bids fair to be a walk-over.
| 1t is common comment that whoever
suggested to Mr.. Hancock to challenge
the congressman, was either a Greek
bearing gifts, or else had a very bad
misconceptiOn of the relative ability OF
the two men as debaters.
In Santa Rosa County the attack of
Mr. Hancock's campaign manager on
the editor of The Gazette proved a
boomerang Of high power, and there Is
a general feeling among the people
that comedies with Editor Reads view.
Again Mr.. Hancock's declination Of the
invitation to speak at Jay and Nun
son had the effect in the northern part
of the county Of weakening Hancock's
support and strengthening Smithwick.
Some of the formers previous friends
took his refusal to speak at these
places as personal slight.
In Okaloosa County a former friend
and supporter Of Hancock made the
statement that previous to the speak
ing at Laurel Hill the prospects were
good for Hancock to carry that county,
but that debate spoiled the chances for
this.
In Walton County Mr.. Hancock has
probably some of the warmest sup
porters and most enthusiastic workers
Of any county in the district, and pre-
vious to the joint debate at DeFuniak
Springs, they were getting support for
him every day, but the showing their
made on the platform with hsi OPP
ponent wa sdecidedIy discouraEing
A strong factor in Mr.. SmithwiclI's
favor among the people Of Walton
County is the fact that he has been so
prompt fl, answering all correspon-
dence concerning matters OF public in
rerast, and his willingness and ability
to serve the people whenever called
upon.
In previous campaigns Walton
County has always given a majority
for Smithwick's opponent, but the in
dlcations there are, as expressed by
those interviewed by a Journal re-
porter is that he will carry the county
this time.
In Holmes. and Jackson County.
WnEEE the peanut 6IONbAs WEAG mat
rally aided by the passage Of the
emergency tariff act, Mr.. Hancock's
attack on the congressman's vote for
that bill has had the opposite effect
to what was intended and expected.
and a leading banker of Bombay is au-
thority for the view that Smithwicks
vote in that county will be larger this
year than ever before.
In washington County Mr.. Hancock
has had some very active friends. but
the debates at Wausau and Hinson's
Cross Roads, especially the latter, did
not help him any, II it did not lose him
votes. At the latter place, it IS stated.
that he did not stay until the close Of
the meeting. but left before his oppo-
.~ant finished.
Possibly Mr.. Hancock was not per-

to the roll SO that you come out on
top.
The half nelson hold. one OF the
commonest in wrestling, is illustrated
on the right side of our picture. You
can get the half nelson on your man
very easily from the position shown on
the left side of the picture.
How to % IL
The idea OF the half nelson is to
force your opponents head down and
up under him so that he is forced to
roll over. Slip your right arm (sup-
posing that you are in the position
shown on the left side Of the picture)
under the right arm-pit Of the boy.
Then place your right hand on the
base Of his head as illustrated in the
right-hand sketch. Bear down on his
head with your hand. and up with
your arm. The leverage thus obtained
Is great, and unless your opponents
neck is very strong, it win be difficult
for him to resist the pressure. His
head win go down and he will roll
over.

break away very easily by trying the
