Prof.-Think of the progress of 1928! Look at the development in trains alone. Take the rise of auto mobiles, from filters to the luxury of the modern car. Then we have the wonder of the airplane, which is most astonishing. Pause for moment and consider the towns that have become cities. the civil welfare all ahead. Why where was the New York police force 25 years ago?

Putting On the Brakes.

A negro preacher was preaching
rousing sermon for the purpose
of getting big collection. In his
remarks he cried. "Brudders, dis
church am got to walk"
Let FER walk, brudder: let 'er
walk" came in unctuous tones
. from the amen corner.
Warmed by this encouragement
the preacher yelled, dis church
am got to rum"
Let 'er run, Yet 'er rum" was
the enthusiastic assent from the
front seat.
Dis church am got to fly, brud-
ders; dis church am got to fly"
This eloquence brought from the
seat of honor the hilarious re-
Spouse, Let 'er fly"
And" continued the preacher,
lit am gwine ter take money to
make dis church fly."
Then from the amen corner came
the low, mournfur words, "Jest let
'er walk. brudder; jest let 'er walk. ="
