man who is your yokemate. Your
ideal certainly would have been easy
on the eyes. 1t would have been a joy
to your esthetic sense to contem'
plate his godlike lineaments. and as
you heard the murmer of admira-
ton that always greeted his appear
ance you would have felt a thrill
of pride.
Or would it have been jealousy
instead of pride that asitated your
bosom?
Few women are afflicted with
astigmatism when good-looking
man is in sight. Nor can they re-
sist making fools of themselves over
him or a fool of him. So the wife
of an Adonis has her work cut out
for her. She has got to meet all
corners, and defend her title of
wife, no matter how she is handi-
capped by age, weight or lack of
nimbleness on ner feet, and the only
way she can win out is by putting
more punch in her flattery, and Civ
ing more Of a wallop to her adula
ton than younger women do.
y Without doubt 1t is a great thing
to have living picture in the
house, but real works of art come
high-especially when they are por-
traits of romantic looking men.
The pleasure a woman experiences
in owning one of these is slightly
dampened by hearing everybody
draw inVidious comparisons between
them and say: us THAT his wife.
Do you mean to tell me that mag
nificent looking man is married to
that little trump of a woman? You
would have thought he would have
picked out somebody in his own
Glass;
No, my dear, you would not have
been better off if you had married
your handsome Fairy Prince. The
monumental little man who is
your side partner may not be much
to look at, but he's mighty COM
Portable to live with. There's a lot
of peace and rest in having a hus-
band that other women are not try
ing to get away from you, and it's
a heap more soothing to wife's
nerves to have her husband burn
incense before her than it is for her
to be on the jump keeping the punk,
sticks a-light before him.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY DIR. MARION McH. HULL
For Sept. 16-Luke

! as a Man. One incident that he
records of His resurrection life IS
characteristic-the walk to EN-
maus, the simple story of the
prophets showing the necessity OF
His suffering, and death, and resur-
rection, the very human story OF
a family supper and the revelation
% His real identity in a simple bless
ing at the table.
You expect to find the parable OF
the lost sheep. lost coin, and lost
| 10y in LGke's gospel. You expect
also to find here the story of Dives
and Lazarus and Of the woman heal
ed of metrorhagia, and scores OF
other such. Luke loved men and
| loved the Goodman because He was
| tle Perfect Man.
We are greatly indebted to Luke.
He il is who has given us the only
inside story of the virgin birth of
Jesus, the Babe of Bethlehem; the
intensely human Jesus, who was also
God-God in man, and God and Man;
the only glimpse of His childhood;
and to save that which was lost;
His great heart purpose to seek
the only glimpse we have of those
WHO have gone beyond the vale; the
Unwilling of the Fathers heart for
a wandering child; the only, record
we have of the greatest event since
the resurrection-the descent of the
Holy Spirit to abide in His church;
the only record we have of the early
church: and of its greatest expo
nent who was at first its greatest
enemy. Our debt to Luke is meal
culable and one which we can never
repay.
His Chief Characteristic
But what we want most to know
is his most outstanding charac ter-
SticS. He was the beloved physi-
clan. Those who knew him loved
him. Beloved. because he loved men,
as a class and individual. His heart
yearns for men that he gave his
life to express it.
Beloved because of his scientific
attainments and his self-sacrificing
labors. Beloved, because of his 10y
atty to his friends, loyalty that made
him the only one who was willing
TO brave the danger of being recog-
niZed as Paurs friend when Nero
was hunting Christians and lighting
Rome with them. Beloved, because
of his love for the truth, which
caused him to investigate every al
legged fact in such a way as to have
made him accurate beyond dispute.
Beloved, because of his love for
the Lord. Beloved, n<w, because he
was man of science and at the
same time a man of simple faith.
He believed God, he believed in the
Virgin birth, he believed in the mira,
cles, he believed in the Deity of
Christ he believed in the mower of
the Cross, he believed in the resur-
rection Of the body of Christ, he
believed in His personal, visible, glo.
rious return to reign forever.
God give us grace to be like Luke

Carolina Decision Favors
County School Trustees

COLUMBIA, s. c., Sept. S.--An
opinion was rendered by Assistant
Attorney General John M. Daniel
yesteray, to the effect that county
boards Of educa ton have authority
over local school district trustee
boards. This opinion is contrary to
an opinion held in some school cir
cles in recent years.
The opinion of the attorney gen
erals office was rendered in reply
to an inquiry from Berkeley county,
regarding the authority of the coun-
ty board of education over local
boards. The opinion holds that in
the matter of employing teachers
and other matters pertaining to
school finances and management, the
county board has supervision over
the actions of the local boards.

Start Fire in Prison;
Several Overcome

YORK, Pa, Sept. S.-Nine con-
victs sent to the York county jail
recently from the eastern peniten'
tiary at Philadelphia, mutinied to-
day and set fire to the prison, The
fire was extinguished before serious
damage was caused to the building,
but a number of the prisoners were
overcome by the smoke and flames
and are in a serious condition.
Last night prisoners in the tier
in which the fire was started beat
upon the bars of their cells with
their eating utensils and made a
noise all night long.
Today they tore their bed ticks
to pieces and spread the straw along
the tier. into this straw lighted
matches were tossed.

leading Varieties of Apples
Suited to Georgia

o. w. P, Porterdale, Ga,
writes: Please advise me the
best variety of apples for home
use.
The best varieties Of apples adapt
ed for growth in middle Georgia are
as follows: Yellow Transparent,
Horse, Yates, Terry, Wine Sap and
Ben Davis. The central section of
our state is not to be regarded as
an apple growing section. The ele-
walton is not sufficiently high to pro-
duce the color or quality which is
desirable. The varieties mentioned,
however, can be grown with cons:d-
cradle success for home use. They
are all standard sorts, and long eX-
perience has proven their suitability
for cultivation under the climatic
conditions prevailing in the middle
section OF our state. Apples, of
course, to give satisfactory results
must be planted ION soil of fairly
good fertility which is kept will fer
tilted. The trees must be properly
pruned and sprayed. The use of
commercial fertilizers will be found
essential There is no reason why
every home in Georgia should not
grow a sufficient quantity of apples
for home use
