brisk peck of a kiss and a teasing

1t is the usual procedure. They
have done the same things and said
the same words every evening for the
past six months, with the exception
perhaps, of a semi-occasonal evening
at home, or a trip with mother to
prayer meeting followed by a hasty
exit with breathless apologies. They
are the modern children. Daughter,
only sixteen, it's true, has her beaux
and her set. Son has his girls and
his set Mother has a more or less
vague impression that daughter and
son are with their respective "sets"
tonight,-but come to think of it
they haven't said. Where ARE my
children tonight ?" she ponders.
Let me see. In Giles set there's
Polly and Anne and Peggy and Dora.
All bit inclined to be gay. But
they come of good families. Gle

WORLDS GREATEST EVICTION
Lecturer Says it will be the Last and Good Times will Follow

ham that it would be carried out: be-
Isaac and Jacob and to their decend-
ants; because Jesus told us. that was
the reason he came to live and die on
the earth; and because the apostles
preached the same message of joy.
We have the statement of the apostle
Peter for authority that every pro-
phet who ever gave a message from
Jehovah to man spoke of time of
blessing for man when his original
estate of everlasting life, health and
home should be restored. (Acts 3: 49,
.2D Yet, strange to say, scarcely a
word of this real gospel of happiness
for the people is being preached in
our modern churches.
when Jesus was here he told his
followers that his kindom was not of
this world, because Satan is the god
of this present world (cosmos-order
or arrangement but when he came
the second time, he would displace
Satan as the ruler and render him
poWerless. In a parable he speaks
of the world as a house, the human
race as goods Satan as the Strong
man or householder. The lease
on the property has expired and the
tenant is given quit notice but objects
to the efforts of the sheriff to turn
him out. But the sheriff slips in
quietly, unawares, as a thief, binds
the strong man and elects him. The
binding of the invisible Satan by the
returned but invisible Christ is the
cause of the greatest disturbance in
World War. famines,
pestilences, revolutions, threatening
universal anarchy which is com
pletely wrecking and overturning the
present order of things. This bind
ing of the strong man Satan-in
for the seizure of his
goods meets with great resistance on
his part manifesting itself in the up
setting of everything in the dwelling
and general rOughhouse, such as we
see throughout the world But Jesus
told us that the period of trouble
(though the severest of any in the
history of the race) would be cut
short in order that all the human
family should not die. Various of
the prophets, speaking of the present
period of transition, explain that
those who seek meekness and right
will have a chance to live
through the time of great trouble, !
which only began in 1914, and thus
will actually never experience disso-

bound and Christ, the Messiah, or
the new householder takes posses

Lecturing on the topic Millions
lecturers state that a discourse on the
same subject will be delivered in
thousands of cities throughout the
world on the same day, February 26.
a brief report Of the lecture is given:
"To many people the Bible Is an
uninteresting, dry, old book because
they think it is merely record of the
lives of people who died thousands of
years ago, and of events and condi-
tions which happened when business
men shipped their freight by eX-cart
wrote their notes on blocks of stone
with a hammer and chisel. II people
only knew that it is full of news about
the goth century they might be will
ing to cancel a visit to the movies
and read it a little oftener. Even a
curiosity seeker can find out what it
says about the present day methods
of travel and transportation; the
marvellous increase of knowledge on
every subject; the disputes between
la Dor and capital resulting in univer-
sal unrest; the World War of 1914
1918; the Influenza epidemics; the
famines of 1920; the revolutions in
Europe; the restoration of Palestine
to the Jews, etc, etc.
But, TO the earnest student, the
Scriptures reveal that God has a plan,
system if you please, in connection
with the human race. He had this
plan all lined up before man ever ap-
peared. This original program is
plainly set forth as follows: Man
should be a perfect being, physically,
mentally, morally; should live for
ever; and have a perfect home on this
globe throughout eternity. And so
God created him-upright, perfect, in
his own likeness. Some are inclined
to think that Satan threw the monk
ey-wrench into the machinery and
that the whole scheme has been a
mixup ever since. But just because
man detected, Gods plan has not
changed. If that were Gods plan
six thousand years ago, it is his plan
still. We know this to be true be-
cause Jehovah gave his oath to Abra-

the Myakka river just after midnight
Monday, Sheriff Lipscomb and Depu-
ty Leck Lewis, out in their car on a
man-hunt, saw large panther. The
beast was in the road in front of the
car whose headlights caused his eyes
to shine, showing that they were full
ly three feet above the ground. AS
the sheriff was reaching for his gun,
the panther sprang out of the road,
circled the car and disappeared in the
thick forest. AS he circled around
the car, he was plainly seen and rec

Lewis says that the animal was fully
ten feet long, but this evidently in

DON'T BURN YOUR SOIL
Grass and Leaves are its Life-Don't
Burn Them

Have you ever seen a plOwmar
burn off a field of grass or straw
That man didn't stop to consider the
value of the grass or straw to the
land he was tiling. If he had, the
grass would not have been burned
soil providing that man owned the
farm.
Millions of dollars worth of soil
humus in the form OF grass, straw
and beans, a thing terribly and sadly
lacking in Florida soils, is burned
'every year in our state. Investiga-
.tions shcw that the farmer who pre-
serves the material which grows on
the land and turns it back into the
soil, is more wealthy and Independent
than is the man who carelessly de-
stroys it.
This applies also to the forest and
woods. Grass, straw and leaves, es-
pecially leaves, should never be burn
ed, since they become the very life
and strength of the soil when made a
part of it. The man who burns the
woods should be arrested for arson" ,"
is the way one old and experienced
nan of the soil put it.
In discussing this subject the Pro-
Gressive Farmer said let's remem Der
these two big facts:
|. when you burn a ton of for
est leaves or a ton of broomstraw, you
have done just as much harm as if
you had burned or destroyed a ton of
horse manure.
2. "lf you have 100 tons of forest
leaves in some piece of woods near
you, and neglect to put it on your
land, it is the same as if you had 100
tons of COW manure or horse manure
or II tons of 8-2-2 fertilizer out there
and neglected to haul it up and use
it,"

WOMEN'S SPORTS IDEA
 Is GAINING IN FRANCE

Paris.-The American idea of sports for women is rapidly gaining headway in France, despite opposi- ton in certain circles. An instruc- tion has just been aiven by the new bishop of Strasbourg, Mgr. Ruch, which will probably have consider able influence in converting those who still think syOrts harmful to girls and women.
 Mgr. Ruch was chief chaplain of the French armies during the war and took great interest in organiz- ing sports for the rlen. He now ar gues that since an athletic training was obviously so successful in the case of the men with whom he came in contact, it should be equally good for women. He has, accordingly, given instruction that all the Cath olic girls societies within this dio- cese should. under medical supervi- sion, institute athletics for girls, a lead wich is likely to be copied in other parts of France.

which was then rated as tonic, In
the morning.
"This demand for an early drink
was the thing that led to the discov-
cry of ice-cream soda. OF course,
Philadelphia claims that ice-cream
soda was invented down there, and
went so far as publicly to give Robert
Green credit for starting II. They
gave him the credit after he was dead.
But they can hardly make a clear
case, and / hold to the Eighth avenue
version of its invention. New York
has just as good a claim.
''The thing was entirely accidental.
Early In the morning a customer came
into lower Eighth avenue drug store
and asked for glass Of soda The
proprietor apologiZed because he had
no ice, and offered a plate of Ice
cream instead
''That was no substitute for the
thing wanted. The customer wanted
soda, and insisted that the Ice cream
be put into it If there was no Ice
available. That was done The re
suit was remarkable, and Ice cream
soda has been spreading over the
country ever since.

The sale of them began, l think, by
an effort to evade in q legal manner
the old Sunday closing laws, when Ice

stores were generally not closed, and

sold as a 'sundae'

ting at soda fountain would take

over the United States. In less than
one generation that has happened.
