A SIMPLE EXPLANATION

When 1 expressed surprise at the
nonsense in which some men in
dulge, my luncheon companion of
fered a simple explanation. He got
it, he said, from Whiting Williams,
writer and investigator.
My friend drew an arc, explaining
that every man battles along such a
front for the attention of the world.
Some men break through by making
financial success. Other make an
artistic success. Still others satisfy
their ego as soldiers, pugilists, base
ball players, statesmen, lodge poten-
tates, or reformers. Men try all
sorts of lodges to break the line.
They sit on flag poles, stand on their
heads in the public square, engage
in dance marathOns, march in pa
rades, gulp ten dozen oysters, or
walk backward across the continent.
A strange fact is that large num-
ber of men who find that the line is
impregnable console their vanity on
the ground that they are irresistible
to women.

Mr.. Vining said that notes due the
bank in Westerville, where the

and which failed, have been met al
most completely.
He said that he did not wish, at

Fact Finding Committees of Della
ware, organized under the general
direction of Harold D., Three Gun"
Wilson, former deputy prohibition
administrator for Delaware, now
deputy administrator for Nebraska,
might have had on the activities of
the Anti-SalOon League here. 1t is
generally understood, however, that
there was some competition between
Mr.. Wilson, with the Fact Finding
Committees, and Mr.. Vining, with
the Anti-SalOOn League, for atten-
tion and support of the dry. Mr..
Vinging, rarely, if ever, participated
in the Fact Finding activities.

CLOVER RESISTS DISEASE

Through years of selection the
Tennessee agricultural experiment
station has developed a red clover
that is highly resistant to Southern
anthracnose or scorch, a common
disease of the plant which leaves
the field looking as if swept by fire.
The United States Department of
Agriculture warns that although the
clover grown in the Tennessee reg
ions where scorch is prevalent is
apparently the most resistant, not
all clover grown there has this quail
ity. Farmers can not get this valu-
able strain simply by ordering Ten
nessee seed, but should specify Ten,
nessee scorch-resistant seed.

Christian Science

Matter is the subject of the

The First Church of Christ, Sci

Among the Scriptural citations
are these words Of Peter: The Lord
is not slack concedning his promise,
as some men count Slackness; but
is long suffering to us-Ward, not
willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
But the day Of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in which
the heavens shall pass away with
great noise. and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also and the works that are
therein snail be burned up g..
Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and
a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures" :"
by Mary Baker Eddy, includes the
statements: Vertebrate, articula-
ta, mOllusca, and radiata are NOR
tai and material concepts classi-
fled, and are supposed to possess
life and mind. These false beliefs
will disappear, when the radiation
of Spirit destroys forever all belief
in intelligent matter. Then will
the new heaven and new earth ap-
pear, for the former things will
have passed away"
