picture shows, Rev. Harmon, evangel-
list at the First NJ. e. Church, South,
las announced that he will talk about
the devil at his service at o'clock
Friday evening. He claims that the
Book upon which he is basing his
messages can shed more light upon
that everpresent wet oftignored per-
sonality than can any picture or
other agency In the world today.

acquainted with or ignorant Of his
workings. II he is actively influencing
your life, you can not afford to miss
what Rev. Harmon has to say about
the definite teachings Of the Bible on
the subject OF the devil.
Thursday evening Rev. Harmon
spoke on THE Practical Side Of Re-
ligion, based on sound doctrine" TAX

chapter Of Titus, and laying particu-
lar emphasis upon the fourteenth
verse, Our Saviour Jesus Christ who
gave himself for US. that He might re-

fundamental facts OF salvation, based
directly upon the strict Biblical
teachings. His morning services deal
largely with Prayer" and are prov
ing very helpful to those who are at
tending them regularly.

FORMER SENATOR
HASNARR0W ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING
Senator Bagby Found FlOundering in
Kinney Creek = Had Mis-.
taken Shadow for the
Bridge.

Garrison, Jan. 13. - Last Thursday
night some members of the crew of a
west-bound freight, which had stopped
to take on water at the C. & o. water
tank here, heard man calling for
help. Two of the crew investigated
and discovered the man had fallen
from the c. & o. bridge into Kinney
creek and was holding to the slate
ledge on the upper side of the bridge
to keep from drowning.
This ledge is straight up and down
for distance of 20 feet and the men
were unable to rescue him. They came
and awakened Thos. Howard about 3
o'clock a. m, asking for assistance to
reach the man. Mr.. Howard hurried
with them to boat. They succeeded
n getting the man in the boat and Mr..
Howard asked him his name only to
find that he was his own neighbor, T.
+. Bagby.
Mr.. Bagby was carried to the pump
house to get him warm as he was bad
ly chilled.
Mr.. Bagby was partly undressed
when found, but after being warmed
and dressed in dry clothing he seemed
tC be all right and was able to start
home at 6 o'clock a. m.
1t had required an hour to extricate
him from his unfortunate position and
had he remained there much longer
he would likely have lost his hold and
slipped back kinto deep water and
drowned. AS it was, he was nearly
frozen. When he recovered sufficient
ly to talk, he stated that he was cross
ing the bridge and thought he was
across and would step off to the path
by the side Of the railroad track, but
when he stepped. too late. he discov-
cred his mistake. He had stepped into
space and plunged down 60 feet into
the creek, barely escaping striking the
Jagged edge of the slate as he fell.
He had on pair of rubber boots at
the time and had managed to get them
off while In the water, as we'll as other
pieces of clothing. thinking he might

Aside from nearly freezing while
remaining in the chilled waters for
nearly two hours, Mr.. Bagby seems to
complain only Of being sore and hav-
ing cough.

POOLED TOBACCO
IS NOT TO Be SOLD
IN SMALL LOTS
Pooled Tobacco VIII Be Delivered
During This Month, Says An.
nOuncement-Basket Auction
Sales Not to Be Held.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 13. - Ware
houses controlled by the Burley To-
bacco Growers Cooperative Associa-
tion will be open to receive the crops
of members of the association be-
tween January Is and 20, James C,
Stone, president and general manager,
said today. There are a few details to
be worked out, Mr.. Stone said, before
the officials of the association can fix
the time definitely for the opening.
These are likely to be worked out at
the meeting of the directors here at 10
o'clock Monday morning.
The grading problem, including Sc
lection of graders, has claimed the at
tention of Mr.. Stone the last week. In
this work he has been assisted by
Ralph M. Barker, director of ware
houses, and his assistant, John L.
Buckley.
Before leaving for the East Mr..
Sapiro said that it was within the
bounds of possibility for the entire
pooled crop to be sold on a few orders
from the manufacturers, citing the
experience of the California prune
growers, who sold their crcop In some
cases in 100 carload lots, or 5000, 200
pounds to the order.
"The sales OF an association such as
this will not be by baskets" said Mr.
Sapiro. "but it may be in lots Of 10.-
100000 pounds at a time. Sales Of
prunes by the California Prune Grow
ers' Association we're made, in some
instances, in lots Of 100 car loads.
There is no reason why the. salees
Of Burley tobacco should not be made
by the association in the same way,
but 1t is certain that there will be no
basket auctions"

NEED NOT HAVE ADVERTISED
Either Actor Was Exceedingly Pcpu. lar or the Man In the Box Office
 Was a "kidder."

A member of an actors club tells of a one-night stand in North Dakota played by a company with which this actor was once connected. He always remembers the place on account of several queer localisms used by the natives in conversation.
 As he often does on such occasions, this actor strolled up to the box office on the afternoon of their arrival and inquired as to the prospects indicated by the advance sale.
 "Outlook ain't very good for to- night" said the ticket seller, and the actor thought he noticed just the shadow of twinkle in his keen eye. Here's half a dozen seats right here ain't even been sold yet and now I'm blamed sorry I spent so much money on advertising"
 "Why, what on earth do you mean?' asked the actor.
 "Well, I just nosed it around that you were coming to see us, and ding me if the house didn't jest about sell out three days ago" ."-Philadelphia Ledger.

NEW POLISH PRESIDENT
Gabriel NarutOwiez Is Chosen by the
 National Assembly.

< Warsaw, Dec. 11-Gabriel Naruto- weiz, minister of foreign affairs was elected president of Poland by the na- tional assembly today.
 Narutowicz has been a member of the various Polish cabinets since June 1920, when he was appointed minister of public works under Premier Grab- ski. He was reappointed to the posi- tion by Premier Ponikowski, and first took the portfolio of foreign affairs under Premier Silwinski in June of this year. Narutowicz is radical, and his appointment to this important post aroused some oppositi' n among the moderates in the Diet. As foreign minister he was one of the signatories of the military covenant framed by the premiers of Poland and the Little Entente powers at the secret confer ence held in Marienbad in August. He also was the Polish delegate to the Baltic disarmament conference.
