NUTS TO CRACK.

has for the past two or three
years been sending me OCCASION
al patches Of it's advertising
literature with form letters urg-
ing me to take up it's correspon-
dence courses in Bible study.
Well, I have looked into it's
teachings considerably and de-
cided that is didn't know enough
about the Bible to teach me any
thing, and so I haven't taken
up any Of it's courses. But I
have decided to ask the Moody
Bible Institute a few questions
and see if it can answer them.
So the following questions
have been prepared and for
warded to Chicago with a re-
quest for written answers. If
I get the answers I will print
them in The Fool-Kiner for all
you folks to see.
Moody Bible Institute,
| Chicago, III.
Gentlemen:
For the past two years or
more I have been getting your
advertising literature and your
form letters urging me to take
up your correspondence courses
in Bible study. I have not yet
| decided tn do 90 but 7 have de-
cided that you can help me in
making my decision. IF you
will be so kind as to send me
your written answers to the fol-
lowing questions, and if your
answers are satisfactory I will
consider the matter of taking
up some Of yoi: Bible Study
courses. Eut if you cannot
answer these questions, or if
you try to dodge around them
and make evasive answers, I
shall have to conclude that you
do not know enough about the
Bible to teach me anything.
! Now for the questions: -.
Was the Garden Of Eden on
the earth or up in heaven?
| Was Adam created mortal or
immortal?
If Adam had not sinned, would
he ever have died? -: ~.::.
| If he had not died he would
have lived forever, and wculdn' t
| that have proved that he was
immortal? >~~-.
But on account of sin he DID
die, and don't that prove that
he was mortal?
Is there a difference between
eternal life and Immortality
In other words, can a person
live eternally and never die, and
yet not be immortal?
If Adam had not sinned and
thus brought death upon him
! self, where would he have spent
( his endless life?
Would he have lived forever
in the earthly paradise where he
was placed, or would he have
developed wings and flown away
to some place beyond the stars
called heaven?
; If Adam could not go te
heaven without dying, and coulc
a not die without SHINING, doesn't
that prove that sin and death
4 are blessings to the race?

The fire alarm was given and we
hurried out. We made pretty good
speed. DR.. Hoyt made a speech out
side on fire prevention. He told us
how Chicago was destroyed by fire
81 years ago. He said there was an
old lady that went out to milk her
cow. She had a kerosene lamp. Fool
ishly she put the lamp down beside
the cow who kicked it over. This set
the barn on fire and burned the city
of Chicago. eff your clothing should

struck out on a gallop.
When we reached Lang's we were
glad to find the gate open because we
had been quarreling all the way over

A Wiener Roast.

Friday evening the Willing Workers
club had a wiener roast about a mile
northwest of town. This club con-
sists of about a dozen girls of the
Lutheran Sunday school who meet
every two weeks to sew articles that
will be sold later at a bazaar for the
benefit of orphan children.
Our wiener roast was attended bv
a few guests. They were Phillip Ack-
erman, Thomas Reed, Harry Anholt,
Ole Hildon, Morris Wedum, Arthur
Anholt and Alton Kjos.
We had a very nice time. Some of
us girls parted from the rest of the
party and went to see what we could
find along the creek. Walking along
we came to a place where the water
in the spring time had washed some
brush up to a large tree and made an
arch way. We called this the place
where the witch stayed. We also dis
covered some secret pathways. After
we had gone quite a ways we thought
we had better turn back. 1t was
lucky we did because the rest of the
girls and boys wanted US to play
games. Some of the games we played
were the Flying Dutchman, Last Cou-
pie Out and Three Deep.
After the games, we found a place
to build a fire to roast our wieners.
We did not only have wieners, but also
sandwiches, baked beans, doughnuts,
marshmallows and watermelons. At
ter eating u supper and putting out
our fire, we all went home we'll sat-
isfied.-1nger Christophersen.

The fire engine came to school on
Friday to see our fire drill march.
In France we see big cellars with
hundreds of judges full of wine in
them.
The seventh grade was very glad to
get the alligator for we were expect
ing him before. Last year the alli-
CATER came by Parole Post. He was
sent in a sigar box. He was bourn in
July. The aligators are found in
Flourida and Missipi. Many people
kill alligators for their skin but Tim
is not going to be killed. Francis
Crookshank has the skin of an alli-
gator 200 years old. Poor Mary.)
Tim will only be 2 feet long when we
all are married. He eats only three
times a week. The poor fellow I pity
him l don't see how he is going to
stand it. and oh, shaw if he gets to
be thin during the winter the Pep
timists will think we didn't take care
of his. Ane Halverson toxic good care
of him. When %alligators are grown to
manhood they are 16 feet long and
100 years old. By that time we'll all
be ded.
The feemail alligator laies about 200
eggs. There is about three layers Of
eggs before the nest is complicated.
They are very vishus when atacted or
hungry. Tim must be fead

The only place you can kill an alli-
gator is in the BELLE or behind the

Arrival of Tim,

Arrival OF Tim.
The Peptimists decided to let the
seventh grade have Tim, the alligator.
He was brought to the south side
school Wednesday, Oct. II. With the
thought that we had one in the very
room we became very interested in
alligators. We found that he was Is
inches long. His birthday is in July.
His birthplace was near New Orleans.
He was sent to the Peptimists last
year. When he arrived he was in a
box about the size of a cigar box.
After examining him upon his ar
rival Wednesday we decided to find
out more about his family tree. With
the help of the encyclopedias we got
much information.
The alligator is Matched from eggs.
Alligator eggs resemble hens eggs in
size and appearance. They are laid
inlayers along the banks of rivers.
When first Matched the alligator is
about eight inches long. 1t grows
vvery slowly and is only two feet
long when Is years old. 1t is found
along the southern coast of the United
States and South America. 1t lives
in the tropical regions of the West
ern hemisphere only. 1t does not at
tain it's full length, 16 feet, until it
is 100 years old. If our alligator lives
that long I wonder who will have him
then. Alligators have been known to
live 200 years.-Lila Alger.

A Lesson on Cotton.

ANSoOu VII
Thomas Dignan brought some cot
ton to school Tuesday. 1t was sent
to Leila Traver from North Carolina.
1t showed the cotton plant with the
cotton on just as it came from the
field. Some of the cotton was ripe
and some of the hollis were not yet
bursted for cotton does not ripen at
the same time like wheat. The cot
ton pickers go into the field and pick
cotton from July until Thanksgiving.
The pickers wear big sacks on their
backs to hold the cotton. When they
have picked a wagonload a mar hauls
it to the ginning mill and dumps it in
a big hopper.
The cotton disappears in a second.
The cotton is then run through a gin
where the seeds are taken out and
separated from the cotton. The seeds
used to be burned. They are now
made into oil and feed and they are
ground up for fertilizer. The cotton
is baled up and sen to cotton factor
les. The long fibres are made into
high grade cloth, the shorter fibres
are made into mattresses and cheap
Ell cloth and thread.
The stalk is used to make artificial
silk and it makes very good paper.
The stalk is used for fertilizer too.
The blossoms of the cotton plant
resemble hollyhocks. They have five
petals and five sepals. The leaves
look something like maple leaves. The
cotton blossom grows deeper in col
or as it grows older instead Of fad
ing as most flowers do. It is first
white, then shell pink, then rose and
at last red. The cotton boil splits
along five seams when it bursts to
go the cotton.-Howard Haynes.
A Trip to France.
After leaving Dover in England we
at Calais, a seaport of France.
Then we went to Lyon where we saw
many silk factories. 1t is one of the
greatest silk centers of the world. We
then went to Paris which is a great
river port. The Seine River runs
through the city. Paris is the
third largest city in the world. 1t
has about 3,000,0 900 people. It is a
great railroad and manufacturing CEN
ter. They manufacture wine, silk, cot
ton, furniture and iron.
There is not much coal in France
they have to ship in much of the
coal that they use.
AS we travelled through France we
saw many vineyards, orange groves
and lemon groves. The French people
are very hearty eaters and sometimes
it takes them two hours to eat. They
drink wine about as often as we drink
tea or coffee.
We went to Limoges and there we
many factories where they made
Then we went to Marseille,
one of the seaports of France. Some
other seaports in France are Lille,

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason
THE HIDDEN GRIEF

Each fellow has his dark blue sor-
row, his fierce, corroding, grief or
care; and one, some sympathy to Dor
row, will talk about it everywhere.
He'll buttonhole the brass-bound COP
per, and say, please listen while
tell, in language strictly chaste and
proper, about the woe that makes me
YELL" And he will stop the village
banker, who is intent on honest gain,
and cry, Il have a secret canker, a
large three-cornered convex pain" He
corners now the earnest pastor, he
backs him up against wall, to tell
about the grim disaster that DER his
life has cast a pail. And how the
people dread to meet him, at sight of
him their faces pale; they're tired of
all the woes that eat him, they're
weary of his rancid tale. Another
voter has trouble, man size grief,
a super-woe; and yet we hear his
laughter bubble, as he goes weaving
to and fro. "My grief's a private
thing" he reasons; why advertise a
heart that's sore? To air my sorrow
at all seasons would make of me a
dreary bore" And everywhere he
goes he's greeted with smiles that
warm his careworn heart; to priceless
stogies he is treated, by all who meet
him in the mart.

gress who would murder their country for the
sake of few votesp
Perhaps this is strong language = General
Dawes is noted for the emphasis of his speech
but is there not justification for its use? 1t
is patent to the least observing student of public
affairs that the average member of Congress
seldom rises above his fear of what the voters
in his district may do in he should sacrifice
personal interest to the higher demands of pub
lie duty.
"And this from General Pershing: Do not
be mised by those cranks who always tam
pering with our Constitution; let the Constitu-
ton alone and live up to it and we shall have
no further trouble
This is inspiring speech, the speech of men
unafraid of men not dependent upon the favor
of the voting public, of men not in sympathy
with those other enemies of the Government and
its people who have carved tainted fortunes out
of human misery and the sacrifices of those who
died to extend the blessing of liberty through
out the world.
This is a time when it is well that the high
note of unselfish and fearless patriotism should
be heard. And the American people will hold
in respectful reverence and honor all men who,
like General Perishing and General Dawes, are
sans peur ct sans reproche."
