 Because of visions and ideals of what Arcnilles, must have been, as portrayed in the legendary history of Greece, a whole generation of the young men of | the time, became outstanding characters of physical perfection.
 There were thoughts on the ideals that | were given to Moses God sent forth his 1 son asan ideal, to save a world of re- bellion and sin. The Savior, in his last | words, gave to his people the great ideal Go Ye Into All the World" Living stone was inspired and dominated by Gods visions to him. Martin Luther l caught the vision, received the power and | inspiration to go on an up. There fol 1 lowed the reformation of the church | with the world made better place tc | live in.

IN SUIT TO RECOVER
OVER ; MILLION DOLLARS

NORFOLK. VA. Oct. Suit for
the recpvdy of sS.65o,OOO three-fold
damages under the antitrust act was
today instituted in the United States
District Court here by the Peanut
Growers Exchange against a score or
more members of the Peanuts Clean
ers and Shelters Association in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
The action, which involved the larg-
est amount in damages ever claimed
in tho state of Virginia, is an out
growth of the so-called peanut war"
with the growers Organization on the
one side and the cleaning and she'll
ing concern on the other.
In brief the defendants, including
some of the largest stockholders in
the peanut industry in the state, are
charged in the declaration filed in the
growers exchange with conspiring to
render the exchange insolvent by in
.erfering with the peanut market.
1t is alleged that the defendants
control so percent of the peanuts
grown in Virginia and North Caro-
lima and consequently could control
the market price of peanuts.
