Henry Ford Sells His Railroad

Henry Ford has sold his railroad, lock, stock and
barrel to a New York broker firm. Purchase was
made on behalf Of an undisclosed principal. In 1920
the wizard obtained the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
railroad for a total investment of S., 100000 after the
property had been in the hands Of the receivers for
80 years. Now the road is said to have a property
value for rate making purposes of $23, o61 ,2O8. Henry
made it pay. He gave his employees a five-hour work
day. They were not only paid wages above the union
scale but we're made actual partners in the under
taking. They were offered certificates in the railroad
which by 1924 were paying an annual interest of IL
per cent. A wizard? Yes. More than a wizard-a
humanitarian and public benefactor.

All Business Records Broken

A New York financial correspondent lets it be
known that the 1928 and 1929 fiscal year broke all
existing records for business and industrial prosper
ity." incidentally, he let's it be known that in 1923
the country owes its prosperity largely to the farmer
but now the country owes its prosperity to the indus
trialist. There are wires crossed somewhere. Farm
ers ever since the year 1919 and 1920 have been clam
oring for relief" Their political leaders have been
clamoring for relief for them. A bloc Of senators
have been the engineers of the movement Are the
farmers to be disappointed?

A Filibuster That Failed

A filibuster that failed was launched against the
Senate bill providing for a four-cent gasoline tax ana
a SO per cent cut in motor license fees. Filibusters
failed to break the senate quorum in a session that

made possible the enactment OF the Ola DS'''u

tax and a IS per cent reduction in motor license ices

By DIR. ALVIN E. BELL

Inasmuch as our lessons for three
Sundays are planned to cover the
| prophesy Of Ezekiel 1t may be well
for this first week to get a birds
eye view" Of the entire book. Ac-
cordingly, permission is granted to
use the following which is quoted
from the authors book 1.-THE Gist
of the Bible Book by Book" copy
righted by A. E. Bell, Toledo, Ohio.
LAS Isaiah is the salesman prophet
of faith and jeremiah the martyr
prophet Of love, Ezekiel is the exile
prophet Of hope.
The scene of his entire ministry
was in the Babylonian empire, where
he was carried with the second
group of captives, IL years before
the captivity was made complete in
the destruction of Jerusalem.
The first "a chapters Of Ezekiel
recount his call and prophecies dur
ing these IL years, in which he
sought in vain by his numerous par
ables and impersonations to con-
vince his fellow-exileS of the COM
ing destruction of Jerusalem, and
the righteousness of Gods Judgment
in destroying it.
The pageantry Of his miniature
siege of Jerusalem represented in
the tile bearing the picture Of the
doomed city; the shaving or the pro-
phet's hair and beard and the burn
ing and cutting and casting to the
winds of the three parts of the hafr
symboliZing the fate of the inhabi-
tants Of the city; the prophets
enactment of the part Of the fleeing
exile escaping from the hole in the
wall with his few personal effects
and his bereavement at the sudden
| death of his wife, at which he was
commanded not to mourn, are but a
few of the incidents of the prophets
ministry which make this book one
Of the richest in imagery in the
divine library.
Everywhere as he pronounces the
doom and destruction Of Jerusalem,
and pictures the horror of it all, the
| prophet vindicates the justice of
| God in the punishment Of the neo-

pie for their gross sins of idolatry
and impurity, and repeatedly af-
firms the purpose of God, that by
punishment the suffering people may
learn to know him and come to re-
pent and be saved. For no phrase
occurs more often in the book than
the words, and We shall know that
I am jehovah"
But all Of this ministry Of Ezekiel
fell upon deaf ears. The exiles re-
fused to believe that Jerusalem
would fall until one Of the refugees
came with the sad news, "The city
is smitten."
In the meantime the prophet pre-
nounced the doom of the eve sur
rounding nations which had op-
pressed Gods people, repeatedly in
dicating the purpose of this judg-
ment also in his most familiar
phrase, "They shall know that I an
jehovah" (Chapters Is to 32).
After the news Of the destruction
of Jerusalem reached the exileS
Ezekiel's ministry met with a more
favorable reception, and from Chap
ter 33 to the end we have his great
gospel of hope in which he pro.
phesies the restoration of Gods an

GUILD PLANS
FAIR EXHIBIT
Arts and Crafts Group
Makes Plans For En-
larging Scope

HARLINGEN, July 6.-Prelim-
mary plans for a large and inter
esting exhibit at the Valley Mid
Winter fair this year were worked
out by members of the Valley Arts
and Crafts Guild, at which the Or
ganization decided upon a new
plan of activity in the Valley.
This plan, it was explained, will
result in the organization proving
of much greater benefit to all resi-
dents of the Valley, and will help
to bring a greater and more rep
resentative exhibit to the fair every
year.
Meeting at the home Of Mrs.
Carrie M. Stuart at Mercedes, the
guild members decided to form 10
cal units in all cities of the Valley.
A director of each local group will
be named, and meetings will be
held every week in these cities, for
the purpose Of study and work in
arts and crafts. A leader is to be
picked in each community by the
members there.
This will enable all members to
receive the benefit of study and in
Struction in their own cities.
Once every three months all the
groups will assemble together in a
Valley-wide meeting, and work OF
the various local organizations will
be compared.
With ar entire department re-
served for it, the arts exhibit at
the fair this year promises to be
one Of the most interesting there.
1t will be under the direction OF
Miss Mildred Finn of this city.
Arrangements are already being
made for the exhibit.

 Although it is desirable for chil- dren to spend at least part of their leisure in happy pursuits with their parents. we must not forget that the child also wants some time to himself.

YOUR HEALTH
BN DE. MORRIS FIeIBLlN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of lily
 mcin lhn Ernlfh NiAmnI,n,.

The average parent is not 90 much interested in the unusual child aa in his own, which means to say that the vast majority Of children com" within the group known as normal.
 How over there is seldom a nor nal child who is perfect. Invcsti- cations made of applicants for tn" army during tho World War indi- cated that a high pcrccntaG" had all sorts Of minor disturbances varying from flat feet and cn- largod tonsils 10 defects Of the heart action and Of the abdominal organs.
 Besides ;h" factors known Us physical factcra. there are tGo mental traitS of the child, Th' term "in.anity" has practically disappeared from the considera- tions of experts in mental dis cases. but they recognize all de- Grccs of mental capacity from complete idiocy or imbecility to the extraordinary eccentricities associated not infrcquenuy with great geniuSeS.
 Before one can be certain that the child is a normal child, it is necessary to find the capacity of the child physically and mcntall. and to find whether it falls within the limits that are generally con sidcred normal This means that the normal child is one like most othcr children.
 In order 10 find out whether child is normal physically. it is necessary to consult a competent physician and he can make his de- cision only on the basis of d physical examination.
 The examination of tho mind does not necessarily require q specialist in diseases of the mind It is possible for teachers who have had some training in the examination of children. for physicians who have some llnowl- edge of psychology. and particu- larly for psychologists to deter mne whether or not tho reactions of the child's mind are normal re- actions
 should these reactions he found defective. it may be neccs- sary to consult a p~ychiatrist to determine tho nature Of the men, tai defect or disturbance.
