Our little friend Dolores Sines
spent last week with her sisters and
their families in GAINESVILLE.
In the passing of Fred Fleming
we lose another friend. For nearly
40 years we have enjoyed meeting
him. He was always the same gem
ial Fred, and we always felt we had
learned something after talking
with him. We wish in this way to
extend to the family our sympathy.
We were correctly informed in
regard to the change at switch, =
and Mrs. Hottinger becomes chief
today. BY the way, if all patrons
were as courteous as most opera
tors, we wouldn't have any but
courteous operators. In fact we
wouldn't need the kind that could
cuss when occasion demanded.
We have been enlightened as to
the intent of the new notary law.
We understand that some notaries
can't write their names SO that they
can be read, and the stamp is
called for on account of this. We
suppose after it is found out who
the notary was, they go to them
and find out what the rest of the
writing was about. We spent $3.50
and are again fully endowed with
all the rights and privileges.

4 Battle ROYAL

a battle royal between a large
blacksnake and wild turkey hen at
the Roosevelt game preserve near
Portsmouth, a few days ago ended
in victory for a mother turkey and
her brood when the snake was shot
by Sanders Brown, vermin trapper
at the preserve, although the tur-
key had the snake badly bested in
the scfimmage when Brown arrived.
In making his rounds in search
of vermin enemies of the turkeys,
Brown discovered the turkey and
the snake in combat The black
snake with it's head reared foot
above the ground was striking at
the turkey, which was beating it
with her wings, attacking with
both wings and feet, while her
brood scurried to safety in the
brush The snake being worsted
suddenly sprang and wrapped it
self around the turkeys body, The
little hen took the snake
for a ride across an open space and
finally succeeded in shaking it loose
from her body, but it still held on
with its mouth fastened in a tuft of
feathers on her breast. With beak,
wing and feet the turkey fought on
the snake about on the
ground until she shook it loose.
When the trapper came to the
rescue and killed the snake it still
had a bunch of feathers in it's
mouth, but had been badly beaten
and walloped by the turkey.
A few days later he saw another
mother turkey chasing a rattlesnake.

the poison be on the under surface
OF the leaves as the insect feeds en-
tirely in this position. From the
under side they consume the entire
leaf except the upper epidermis and
the veins.- Any insecticide on the
upper surface is not eaten and
therefore does the insect no harm.
A thorough application of a dust

leaves are beginning to hatch. Later

Sunday School Lesson
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

in their favor, exacting as every test
ever made has demonstrated the value
of abstaining from the use of alcoholic
liquors as a beverage. Their plump
ness of form (Which is the pride of an
orientaD was superior to that of their
fellow students, who had INDUCED in
wine and choice foods Of the kings
table.
Keeping Fit.
The first advantage of the loyalty of
the four Hebrews to their faith was
soon in their physical life. Modern
science has testified to the value of
temperance; so that the men upon the
various college football teams are re-
uuired to be teetotalers. No man can
win the battle Of life II he weakens his
mental, nervous, and physical powers
by the use of intoxicating liquors. Our
bodies are the temples of the Holy
Spirit and we ought to determine not
to defile them because of the effect
upon others of our actions. Paul was
moved by that spirit, just as every
Christian ought to be, for he stressed
the value Of spiritual development as
being In a higher class than physical
training. We can not do our best, If
We use strong drink.
In the mental development the four
surpassed all the others. God gave
them knowledge and skill in all learning
and wisdom" Jehovah did not perform
any miracle, for any person who does
not use alcoholic liquors can easily
Surpass a fellow student, whose mind
has been dulled by the use of strong
drink. Science confirms the superiority
Of the teetotalers over the drinking man.
The stress Of modern business life de-
mands that we practice a life of total
abstinence. Many man has lost his
opportunity to advance in the business
world because of his use Of liquor.
The positions open to Daniel and his
companions at the close Of their college
career proves that Goodness is profit
able for all things having the promise
Of life which now is and that which is
to come" Daniels advancement to
positions Of prestige and power was
due to his loyalty to God. Daniels
success confirms the position taken by
Paul in reference to the proper use of
ones body for spiritual service. IN
less we live clean, consistent life, we
cannot do the work we ought to per-
form. The sticktuitive character of
Daniel Is what men need today. The
world needs more men who for the
glory OF God and the benefits that may
come to others will dare to follow
Daniels example. Success in life is
assured those who early in life conSe-
crate their lives to the service of the
Lord Jesus and His Church. Let us
keep Mt not only in reference to drink.
but in every way that will contribute
to make us more efficient In His work.
