1t depends entirely upon what you
desire in revues. I like gorgeous
song pictures and IKE my comedy

Some of the comedy is purely vaude-
vile. Proof Of that Is Johnny Burke

never cared so much for his line of
stuff sputters an grafton OF his regu-
lar brand But the great big COM
edy hit of the revue Is Phil Baker

eide this) with his accordion and a
chap who cracks wise to the extent
Of creating a fun riot. Baker is an
expert on the accordion. His sue
cess rests in his method in connect
ing up with the audience with live
wire patter. The chap in the box
is typical wise-cracker, but this
team lands more solidly than any
thing along comedy lines with this
show
There is some smart ultra comedy
presented under the tile Of Spirits
of 1928" 1.-THE Lucky Strike,
another Good Girl Gone Wrong"
in which Florerce Moore registers
better than she does any time in the
revue (rather disappointed with
Miss Moore's materially; ''If Men
Played Cards AS Women Do" a
mighty smart burlesque on the
females at play; THE Wedding
Ring" smartly played by Ivy
Sawyer, Joseph Santley and Hugh
Cameron, and 1.-THE Motive" a
clever idea or burlesque on crime
dramas.

The Worlds Uncle.

A financial paper says that during this
year the United States has loaned European
nations over billion dollars. This state
ment seems to be supported by the facts, for
in the financial columns of the daily press
during the year there are recorded extensive
loans to France, Italy, Austria, Russia, Ger
many and several smaller new nations Of
Europe. OF course these are not government
loans to these nations, nor loans payment Of
which is guaranteed by the government. They
are banking house loans very largely, made
on securities which the banking houses have
sold to the people of this country.
But the statement above noted was coupled
with the query as to whether or not Uncle
Sam wants to become the worlds Uncle. "
This question is not a superficial one not by
any means 1t is not a question for the bank
ers alone; rather for every man, woman and
child whose money may be invested in the
securities of foreign nations sold through
American banking houses to American peo-
pie For if these nations should again be
involved in war, or even if they should be
involved in calamity Of any kind, this bust
ness of playing uncle" to the world will
prove expensive 1t will illustrate to a great
MANY the fact that the lender generally wor-
ries more than the borrower.

Mr.. Rives on Fasting.

Editor Dawson News: "Thou shalt not OPP
press the poor the fatherless nor the widow.
Is not this fast that | have chosen to loose
the band of wckedness and to let the OPP
pressed go free, that thou deal thy bread to
the hungry and bring the poor that are cast
ont to thy house when thou seest the naked
that thou cover him? Then shalt thy light
break forth as the morning, then shalt thou
cali and God shalt answer. Old Testament.
And thou. when thou fastest anoint thy head
and wash thy face, that thou appear not un-
to men to last but unto God that seeth in
secret and He shall reward thee openly. Give
unto him that asketh OF thee

cry age Every new movement in the church

OF Christi the leaders appoint days OF fast
ing and prayer-an instance: the unihca-
tionists and the -unhcationists of the
Methodist church both are having days OF abb
staining IRON necessary bodily food Now
unless the food which is saved thereby is
given to some needy cause the effect Is
Jew headaches and no good whatsoever. They
had best read their Bible more carefully and
their ritualistic books and lives OF their
saints less. They would get nearer to God
and nearer to the solution OF their problems
In my boyhoOd | was associated with five
men, two Methodists, my father and another,
and three Baptists n. J. Macarthur Frank
Gray and another. Father, Macarthur and
Gray were first Christians and then sectarians
The other two were first seCtarians and
thought themselves Christians because of
their strict observance Of the ritualism Of
their churches Father, Macarthur and Gray
would work anywhere with any folks; the
other two only with theirs The two gave a
great deal to so-called charity; the three gave
opportunities to work hunted jobs for healthy
persons and only gave when helplessness de-
manded. For instance, Macarthur on return
ing from the civil war found his own family
with enough to eat but no money and no
seeds for the next grain crop His neighbor
was killed in the war and his widow and
children were in the same fix He looked up
work. took his oldest boy and the two boys
OF the widow and went into the wheat fields
OF an adjoining county where other mems
negroes had lelft, leaving them without
labor or money, and saved their crops TAX
ing wheat for pay. This was Bible fasting,
Bible giving, and left ALL both the widow,
Macarthur and the parties for whom they
worked, with their independence unimpaired.

We Should Worry.
From the Davenport Democrat.

Everyone will be more interested in the
eclipse of the sun, due in January, after read
ing the announcement OF Yale professor
that the earth is slowing down and that the
eclpses prove it, By itself that might not
mean much, but the earth is our time clock,
and if it is slowing down it means that our
day is getting longer; and that means that
time is getting longer. The layman may not
know that the tides, the friction with the
air, even the friction with space, are con-
stantly operating to retard the earth's mo-
ton, but the astronomers have been watch
ing these things for centuries and know ex-
actly what the retardation amounts to. Prof,
Browns figures show that 10000 years from
now our day will be tenth of second long
err than it is now. 1t isn't much, to be sure,
but there's good deal OF time ahead OF us,
and, while the slow-up is slight, it is steady.
1t is not, however, anything to worry about.

The Underwood Bill Passed.

The Mussel Shoals muddle seems at last to
be in fair way for settlement The Under
wood bill has been passed by the senate by
a vote OF 50 to 80, and now goes to the
house, which, at the last session passed
bill accepting the offer of Henry Ford, since
withdrawn The Underwood measure differs
in few details from the bill formerly pass
ed by the house, and the differences will be
roned out by conference committee. Both
of the Georgia senators voted for the I'm
derwood bill, and against government oper-
alton.
Thus the country is saved from the social
istic scheme OF the government ownership
group, and the south will have the benefits
OF great hydro-electric development, and
farmers will have the benefit Of the plants
full capacity of commercial nitrates at cost
plus reasonable profit basis
The bill was kicked all over the field, but
finally conservatism made the goal.

The O-Too-Tan Bean.
From the Madison Madisonian.

The experience of Morgan county farmers
with the above bean last year seems to have
been very gratifying; large crops OF them
have been made and they are commanding
high and ready price. The hay is of a very
fine quality, and the yield is heavy. The La
redo is also a very popular beam the price
a little higher perhaps, than the Otoo-tan
but the yield OF hay not so heavy. Below is
the experience OF Newton county boy with
O-too-tan:
Owing to the extremely short crop OF cow
peas it will be impossible to plant the usual
acreage to this valuable legume' and hay crop
this year So il is very important that our
farmers should know the relative value OF
the various varieties of soy beans that are
now being grown in the cotton belt In this
article we simply wish to tell what Newton
county, Georgia, farmer did with the O-too-
tan soy beans in 1924. Mr.. T. S. Hill planted
three gallons OF O-too-tan-by drilling them
in three foot rows he was able to plant about
four acre of land. This fall he thrashed 40
bushels OF beans and put away over seven
tons OF hay. These beans are worth ten dol
lars bushel, and at this price they have the
planting value of COW peas at one dollar per
bushel. This hay is worth twenty dollars
ton, even when the beans are allowed to
ripen; so Mr.. Hill gathered five hundred and
forty dollars worth OF beans and hay from
his three gallons OF beans. Hundreds have
done as we'll and yet we have those who say,
There is no money in farming" 1t all de

Country vs.. City Life.

"People in the country have time to be
friendly" says a contemporary. In the city
thew are rushed to make a living" Perhaps
1t is question, however, whether it is the
necessity Of making a living that causes peo-
pie in the city to exceed the speed limit, at
least good many OF them. Unquestionably
il is true that the competitions OF city lie
are keen and the people are required to hustle
to make living. On the other hand much
if not the greater part of the rush OF city
life is the result of the pursuit OF excitement
of pleasure and entertainment Sometimes 1t
seems that city people devote themselves to
this pursuit with such energy that they have
neither time nor strength for anything else
Indeed, so passionately do some city people
pursue excitement that they neglect even the
necessity of making decent living. Is 1t any
wonder. then, that city people are finding 1t
difficult, if not impossible, to find time to
be friendly? Frendlness for its cultivation
requires moments of quiet intercourse at the
Preside When people will not remain at
their own hresides more than long enough to
preserve an ACQUAINTANCE with each other how
can they be expected to cultivate friendliness
the country still take life calmly enough to
find time to be friendly they are to be envied
for their good fortune. AS to the business
of making living it is doubtful whether 1t
is any more difficult in the city than in the
country. in spite Of the fierce rivalries OF city
life. To make a living anywhere nowadays
necessitates quite bit of hustling. Life ev-
erywhere. in city and country alike has been
speeded up greatly To get on anywhere peo-
Pile are obliged to "step on the gas" 1t IS
true that the pace in the country is not so
swift as in the city, and that, as has been
said already is the country's good fortune.
1t is to be hoped that city people will not
neglect altogether the art of being friendly.
They have plenty OF time to cultivate 1t,
apart from the time spent in making living,
if they will pursue excitement with some
what lessened zeal and earnestness.

What Seek Ye?

Editor Dawson News: In the beginning of
this new year 1925 | want to ask you who
chance to read this the words of Christ as
recorded by St. John, first chapter and thirty
eighth verse, What seek ye?" Are you seek
ing what the world calls good time2 If SO
| am afraid that your life will be blank
when you go to face God on the great judg
ment day.
Would it not be better to seek to live so
as to meet with Gods approval? l am afraid
we young people of today do not give our
time and talents over to Christ to use as He
would have us use them at all times. We want
to have our own way and serve Him when it
is most convenient. Can we truly say, as
Paul did For me to live is Christ" You
know that you have some influence over 9th
ers and they will live as you live, for your
life is the only Bible some people read; so
you should seek to live so as your daily life
would point them to Christ.
To do this you must spend part OF each
day in reading Gods word-the Bible-and
in private prayer. 1 wonder how many Of
our young church members who read this
ever dance, gamble or do other things they
know to be detrimental to living the Chris
itan life at all time. Would you be asham-
ed for the world to see your life as you live
it daily thrown on a screen? You who pro-
TESS to follow Jesus should not be. You
should strive to live so as to be true repre-
sentative of Christ here on earth; you should
seek to lead others to Him through your life
as it is lived each day.
| will close by again asking: what seek
ye?" The applaudts of this world or the APP
proval of God? Think on this and live to
meet Gods approval at all times.

Strange Creatures.

Sometime ago the claim was made by one
who said he was an entomologist that he
had discovered insects which found their nat
ural element in fire. The winged creatures
few into the flames, it was declared, and
were not consumed Now, the other extreme
has been reached by a professor OF zoology,
who declares that he found snow worms in
Alaska that thrive best on frost and lcicles.
The professor is quoted as saying that the
snow or ice worm is not really pink, as many
assert, but is more of brownish hue" that
.'the brown pigment of its skin is source OF
heat which enables the worm to bore its
way through glacier ice like heated wire,
and that 1T grows to a length OF about one
inch, feeding on debris in the ice" Now II
the Alaska miners could develop that worm
into greater length they might use it in
thawing frozen ground on their claims. These
stories, however, naturally divert the mind
to nature fakirs and Ananias clubs

Here is little "hint to church members
from the Moultrie Observer: Heard a fellow
say that if all the church members were to

problem will be solved Well, we don't know
about the solution, but we believe there would
be big dent made in the receipts by the
aforesaid bootleggers. However, we do be-
lieve that more and more men are coming to
see that they are playing false not only to
themselves but to their community, state and
nation by purchasing and drinking wild cat
whiskey-or any other sort, for that matter"
OF course, as the Triton Gazette says OF its
town, we have no church members like that
