XXTAsH1NGToN, Feb. 19.-If you
w were invited out to that quiet
house on S st. today and
you spent thirteen minutes in CONVEX
sation with Woodrow Wilson, you
would observe:
A mind as keen as a razor blade, an
amazing knowledge Of current events.
an ability to discuss almost any angle
Of the foreign or domestic political
situation, an almost uncanny knowl-
edge Of world conditions, remote and
recent, and a cheerful and happy dis
position.
Take this Closeup of the former
President from one Of his closest as
s~ociates who dropped into Washing
tor and was a visitor at the Wilson
home this week.
His physical condition is better
much better. Slowly, but surely, he
is regaining the use Of his ~paralyzed
left leg and arm. His step Is APP
preaching something close to it's old
time st~eadiness. He is getting heavier
every day. the color is flush IN his
checks and he eats and sleeps well.
Although greatly improved, he Is by
no means a well man-and probably
never viii be-because his age stands
against complete recovery.

IF GOD

Amen
"Closer to God" To do a little bit more as God would do
were He down here on earth directing affairs of state.
The policy of President Harding and his Administration is
one of Isolation from the problems of the world" 1t is

Would that be Gods policy were He President of the United

He did not say: Its too bad they are sick. But l will

all. "He went about healing"
And what was the effect:
"And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought
unto him all sick peoples that were taken with divers diseases
and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and
those which werelunatic, and those that had palsy; and he healed
them.
"And there followed him great muIttudes of people from
Gailee, and from DecapOlis and from Jerusalem and from beyond
Jordan
In short, people from a large part of the known world gath
cred about him. He at once became a great figure because he did
not isolate himself and say: <Il take care of myself and you
take care of yourself"
And almost his first words to these people were:
blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of Cod
1t would be difficult indeed to get any "closer to God" than
being His children.
And for the benefit Of any .ssolationists2 who might have
been among his lsteners-for the timid, afraid to help make
the problems Of the world less difficult, - lest they themselves in
some way become nvoyed-he said:
blessed are they which are prosecuted for righteousness
sake: for theirs is the kingdom Of heaven.
BLESSED are We when men shall revle you, and persecute
you > > > for my sake.

pie from Decapolis and from Jerusalem aud from beyond Jor-

1t would be well worth a special trip to the Capitol some
day. Mr. President, Just TO deliver that message to the United

Cattle spaying

BY this method cattle men are able
to clean the herd from cows at as
good price that otherwise sell at d
small price. Spayed COWS are always
ready for the market and sell at steer
prices. Your buyer can sell to feed
ers or hold the cows until the price
is right. Where the fat COW that is
not operated on must be slaughtered
at once for fear that she shows evil
dence of pregnancy. Cows that or
dinarily sell for forty dollars should
sell at ffty-fve dollars after she is
operated on. Write or call me at
Salmon for further information.-DR.
