First Bible In English.

The first complete version OF the
English Bible was that OF Myles Gov
erdale. 1t appeared in 1885, and was
based on the Swiss German version
published at Zurich In 1524-1529. In
1880 there had appeared version at
trlbuted to Wycliffe. but the gospels
alone can be Identified as the work
Of Wyclifre himself.
The translation of the Old Testa-
ment and the Apocrypha is the work
OF Nicolas de Hereford. The trans
lation Of the New Testament by WI
liam Tyndale appeared at Worms in
1925; later editions in 1534-35. The
King James version. otherwise known
as the authorized version, was begun
In 1903 and published In 1911.

Senate Favors Permanent Agricultural
Loan Program.

Senator Phipps reports that the up
per body of Congress has just passed
the so-cailed Federal Livestock and
Agricultural Credits Bill This meas
ure, which is part of the Admins
tration's program to give permanent
assistance to agriculture, provides for
the formation and supervision of COM
panies to make loans on livestock and
all other agricultural products. While
support for the bill was general, it
was claimed and admitted on the floor
of the Senate that the proposed legis-
lation was primarily intended to as
sist the producers OF the Rocky Noun
tain section and the far West. This
measure provides that loans may be
made for nine months period for
agricultural purposes, or livestock be-
ing fattened for market, and for a
period not exceeding three years for
breeding and maturing livestock or
dairy herds. The interest rate shall
in no event exceed the legal rate in
the state in which the loan is made,
and the amount of the advances may
range from 500 to $4,000.

Accident at Elks Home.

Quite little excitement was caus-
ed just after noon on Tuesday by the
report that the south wall of. the new
Elks Home had fallen, but it proved
to be only few layers of brick on
the fire wall above the roof which had
toppled over carrying with it the hand
some carved stone centerpiece. The
roof of the front porch caught the
falling debris and no damage was done
except few hours delay to the brick
layers. The building is now practi-
cally under roof and the inside work
is progressing rapidly.

Radicals and The Legion.

The New York Call, the official Or
gan of radicalism in New York City,
said to be owned largely by Morris
Hilquit, carrying on its vicious and
continual attacks on the American
Legion, recently printed a vile cartoon
representing Col. Alvin Owsley, com
mander of the Legion, as seated on
the capitol building at Washington,
skull and cross bones on hat and shirt,
a rifle in one hand, right foot on the
constitution, left foot on a man label
ed "the man who dares TO think" and
backed by a number OF Legion men
carrying rifles.
Colonel Owsley's marked disapprov-
al of communism, his determination to
do what he can to expose and stamp
it out, his free expressions of con-
tempt for those who are engaged in
a scheme to overthrow this govern
ment, naturally have brought down on
his head the wrath of the communists
and their followers. And Morris Hill
quit, in whose paper this cartoon was
printed-and in this paper a large
number of editorials condemning the
American Legion have appeared dur
ing the year-was one of the delegates
TO the recent meeting of the Confer
ence for Progressive Political Action
at Cleveland, took a most prominent
part in preparing the resolutions
adopted, said resolutions being social
istic in their purpose. This new politi-
cal organization concealing its real
purpose-the establishment of a social
ist form of government here-makes
great professions of being interested
in the welfare of the farmer and the
wage-earner," and yet the farmer and
the wage-earner appear to have had
little representation in the gathering.
This new political movement to "steal"
party names through the use of the
primaries will soon be approaching
members of the Legion for support.
We like owsley immensely. He is
made of the right kind of material.
Such men as Owsley-millions of 'em
saved the people of the United
States from worse than communism.
And while they were doing it, while
they were suffering hardship on a
foreign shore, many of them resting
eternally in other lands, nearly every
man on the committee of twenty-one
directing the affairs of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action, was
employing his time and energies in
seeking to obstruct this country in its
work, seeking to prevent the manu-
facture of munitions or shipping of
food. Many of them were out-and-
out slackers, and all of them today
are urging men imprisoned for their
reasonable acts, be pardoned.
AS between owsley and the organ
ization he represents, and Hilquit,
Johnston, Townley, Marsh, Walsh,
Manly, Brown and others who are
guiding the affairs of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action, no

MYSTERIOUS STAR CAUSES BIG

s,arshine Instead of Usual Moonshine

Many Of our people who gazed at
the mysterious star which appeared
in the southwest the past week, little
dreamed that our community would be
touched and the actions of our people
shaped by the presence Of this planet
80 many millions Of miles away.
Of course, our people spent consid-
erable time in gazing ut this star Of
such unprecedented brilliance that 1t
was visible in the daytime. Many
cOnjectures were abroad as to its
meaning and its name, and our com
munity having no one versed In as
tronomy, most anyone gained an au-
dience who could think Of plausible
theory for the phenomena.
Many thought this star was Venus,
but subsequent events proved beyond
doubt that this star was Mars, the
God of War II not, then why all the
disturbance in our fair city?
Monday of this week there were
four distinct and violent disturbances
recorded IN our little city. implicat-

heated arguments, and although few
blows were exchanged no one was ser
iously injured. Later in the week
other disturbances were recorded
near the High School and rumors of
war come from the country.
Our only explanation of these dis
turbances is the effect which this
star, Mars, undoubtedly welded on
our community. Fortunately for all
concerned. the star, Hoochetta, was
