Startled farmers near Fostoria,
Ohio, saw a bearded man riding by
on junk cart proclaiming to all
and sundry that he was the younger
brother of Jesus Christ. Failing to
impress Fostoria, he drifted to Michi-
gan, and there, with his wife, Mary,
met one Michael K. Mills, who had
established at Detroit a colony SINH

Mills eventually was arrested and
the colony broke up, but Purnell had
The Idea. He headed for Benton
Harbor and there proclaimed him
SELF not only Christ's younger
brother, but also the seventh angel
mentioned in the Book Of Revela-
tons. A handful Of followers,
sloughed off from the wreck Of Mills
colony followed him and the House
of David was born.
In Benton Harbor was a family
named Bauscke, with fortune of
$4,000. Purnell converted these
people and induced them to turn over
their money to him, and the pros
perity Of the colony was assured.
With the $4,000 nest egg business
began to pick up.
More converts came. They came,

Sports and hobbies were said to be

20-Speaking Of Big Business and
the Cult of Success
King" Benjamin Purnell, who fell
afoul of the law after reigning over
the House Of David for nearly
quarter of a century, started in life
as the penniless offspring Of pow
erty stricken Kentucky farmer.
BY his own efforts he built up an
enterprise here worth $12,000,000,
besides laying away large personal
fortune.
Whiskers or no whiskers, that
was an ACHE cement.
1t means that the long haired cult
leader is something more than a
mere fanatic, deluded religionist.
He also is a business executive of
ability.
King Ben's past is not too clearly
lighted, but it is known that he
was born in 1861 in Maysville, Ky.
He had little education, except that
he faithfully studied the Bible. AS
youth he worked in the hill coun-
try at various trades.
His Career Begins
1t was in 1902 that Purnell start

TING
LESS THAN
IN COUNTRY
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. Invite
collar workers eat 20 per cent less
food than farmers, home economic
experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment said today after a survey Of
food consumed by tillers of the soil.
Farmers eat the best food, and
plenty of Il. While the city worker
usually eats more tasty food, which,
however, contains 81 per cent less
energy.
From 60 to IS per cent of the
farmers food supply comes from his
own crops, but when a retail price
on the food is fixed the cost is about
"a per cent greater than the meal
of the city dweller because of the
quantity and quality, the depart
ment found.
The city worker, according to the
department pays about 1888 year
for his food while the average cost
Of feeding a farmer is $175.
The department found farmers do
not eat sufficient fruit to balance their
diet, while the city folks usually
have fruits every day. On some
farms the owners even have to buy
their buttermilk and eggs from
neighbors or nearby community
stores. Store bread is used in rural
centers almost as extensively as in
cities.
Farmers purchase about 40 per
cent Of all the foodstuffs consumed
by their families. because they do
not have vegetable and fruit gardens
to care for their own needs.
While the city worker consumed
more cereals than the rural citizens,
the consumption of meat, eggs, milk,
cream, fruit and vegetables by farm
ers' families is much higher than
the Metropolitan jewellers.
