Isaiah lifted his voice against these evils.
When the Assyrians threatened the north

threatened Ahaz, he refused the counsel OF
Isaiah to keep still and trust God, but
sought alliance with the Assyrians which

RAISE MORE SHEEP
Increase of 90 Per Cent Shown
Over Last Season.
Figures Compiled by Agricul-
turaI Statistician for State.

With a 20 per cent increase in the
number of sheep and lambs on feed in
the central and midwest states this
season, Kansas is holding up her aver
age with a one-fifth increase over last
year. The largest increase. however.
is in the western irrigated region" of
the midwest states where the number
this year is from 25 to 100 per cent
greater, the latter figure. representing
the growth of the Industry in Utah in
a single year. These figures are Civ
en- in a report issued by the bureau OF
agricultural economics. United States
department of agriculture, thru Ed
ward G. Paxton. agricultural statts-
tician for Kansas.
There are two general areas where
sheep and lamb finishing IS carried
on, the eleven corn belt states and the
western irrigated region" the report
says. THE largest increase in feed
ing has been in the latter. In the
corn belt the increase is estimated at
10 per cent above last year, ana this
increase is practically the same in the
two divisions of the corn belt, the five
states east and the six west of the
Mississippi river. There is consider
able difference among the various
states in the two divisions. West OF
the river Nebraska and Kansas show
the only increases. estimated at 90
per cent in each state. Nebraska is
the largest feeder of sheep and lambs
in the corn belt and it is the increase
here that is largely responsible for
the increase over the whole region.
The estimated numbers on feed are
$4,000 of which 100000 are in the
states west of the river.
Move Feeding Lambs.
''The movement of feeding sheep
and lambs out of all public stockyards
for four months. August 1 to Decem-
ber 1, this year, was 2,76S,0 900, against
2,201, 900 last year, and 3.2S0,000 in
1920. From the six western corn belt
states it was $4,000, against $4,000
last year and 1891, 900 in 1920. but in
addition to this movement from mar
kets is the much larger direct move
ment into Nebraska, not going thru
markets, which accounts for the in
crease in these states.
According to the expressed inten-
ton of corn belt feeders, the numbers
on feed December 1 will be moved to
market, 81 per cent in December. 5
per cent in January, 10 per cent in
February a per cent in March and
per cent in April for the eastern
states, and rs per cent in December.

feed, 78 per cent are lambs and % per

At lens h the people of the city split
\ into parties, some siding. with the
| Jews and some with the Apostles.
And when hostile movement was

ma1treat and stone them, the Apos-

! their escape into the Lyca oman towns
Of Lystra and Derbe, and the neigh

continued to tell the Good News.
a lame Man cured at Lystra The
Result
Now a man who had no power in
| his feet used to sit in the streets of
| Lystra. He had been lame from his
birth and had never walked. After
this man had listened to one of Paurs
sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily
at him and perceiving that he had
faith to be cured, said in a loud voice,
"Stand upright upon your feet!'
So he sprang up and began to walk
about. Then tho crowds, seeing what
Paul had done, rent the air with their

form and have come down to u.s."
They called Barnabas 'Zeus," and
Paul, as being the principal speaker,
'Hermes. And the priest of Zeus-
the temple of Zeusi being at the en-
trance to the city-brought bullocks
and garlands to the gates, and in COM
pany with the crowd was intending to
offer sacrifices to them. But the
Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard
of it; and tearing their clothes they
rushed out into the middle of the
crowd, exclaiming,
"Sir, why are you doing all this?
We also are but men, with natures
kindred to your own; and we bring
you the Good News that you are to
turn from these unreal things, to wor-
ship the everything God, the Creator
of earth and sky and sea and of every
thing that is in them. In times gone
by He allowed all the nations to go
their own ways; an dyet by His benef-
icence He has not left His existence
unattested-His beneficence, I mean,
in sending you rain from Heaven and
fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts
with food and joyfulness."
Even with words like these they
had difficulty in preventing the
thronging crowd from offering sacri-
ficeS to them.
Paul stoned The Apostles
retrace their Steps
But now a party of Jews came from
Antioch and Iconium, and, having
won over the crowd, they stoned Paul
believing him to be dead. When,
however, the disciples had collected
round him, he rose and went back
into the town. The next day he went
with Barnabas to Derbe; and, after
proclaiming the Good News to the
people there and gaining a large num-
ber of converts, they retraced their
steps to Lystra. Iconium, and-AntIoch.
Everywhere they strengthened the
disciples by ging them to hold
fast to the faith, and warned them
saying,
''It is through many aff1ictions that
we must make our way into the King
dom of God.''

gently sent a circular to all hospitals
m the state where there are former
service men and also to the Kansas
City, No, government hospital and
similar institutions in Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona, asking what
things the boys needed and wanted for
Christmas. Upon advices from the
various hospitals. another letter tell
ing OF their wants was sent to every
auxiliary unit in the state.
To Help Out-Of-State Vets
The out-of-state hospitals were
queried, Mrs. Hadorn said. because the
membership of the auxiliary in KAN
sas is so much larger than the num-
Der of men hOspitalized and it was felt
the Kansas organization should en-
deavor to assist other state organiza-
tious not having memberships as large
as the numbers of soldiers disable
There are comparatively few vet
Grams in hospitals in the state at this
time. Mrs HadOrn said About 125
are quartered at the National Military
Home, Fort Leavenworth: about 20 at
the State Tuberculosis sanitarium,
Norton. and a few in Wichita and To-
peka hospitals
In the circular to the various units
telling what was needed by the men
in hospitals. the keynote was help

by the auxiliary in all localities. Mrs. |

But she strenuously maintained that

Meanwhile Peter went on knocking,
