They appear to be recovering

they could hardly be in better phys

DR.. Smith highly commended the

Smith, named by Dionne as one OF
the two doctors he wished TO ex-

condition to him, sent a note to the
Dionne home asking Mr.. and Mrs.
Dionne to attend his examination.
The Dionnes did not answer the

Instantly, I remembered the

Mrs. Siewerts interest in Bible
research was brought on by her

"conglomeraticn of contradict

The wager was made to prove
her Bible class pupils that there
was no situation in life which
could not be met by the Scrip
lures, Mrs. Siewert said.
She encouraged her students to
bring to class interesting pictures
cut from magazines and news
papers. Invariably, Mrs. Siewert
said, she found that they could be
exactly captioned by some Scrip
tural quotation.
A FTER the worldwide offer
"a was made. the pictures be-
gan to pour in from all over the
country. They have been used by
Mrs. Siewert's classes in making
scrap-books on Bible incidents
and lives Of the prophets.
However" Mrs. SieWert said, IT
have had some close calls. Once,
in Kansas, some one brought me
picture of a girl standing out-of-
doors. A man was kneeling at her
feet, his arms clasped about her
and he was weeping. When I saw
it I thought, There goes my dol-
lar"
But one of Mrs. Siewert's Sill
dents found an appropriate verse
to fit the picture. 1t was cap
toned "Jephthah Weeping Be
cause He Had Vowed to Sacrifice
His Daughter"
The only domestic animal not
named in the Bible. according to
Mrs. Siewert, is the cat. She
thought that a picture of this ami
NAL would be her Waterloo"

Three steel coal cars were wrecked

head-on.
Three steel coal cars were derailed
by the impact and dragged one

Cotton Contracts

State College Station, Raleigh, Dec.
31.-Cotton must have been planted

since 1880, one of which must have
been 1884 or 1885, to make a farm

charge Of the cotton adjustment pro-

ed.
If the entire cotton base was rent
ed to the Secretary of Agriculture in

planting for one year if the cotton
base was rented in either 1884 or 1885
If uncomfortable natural causes
prevented planting in either 1884 or

would be given for one year but in
that event cotton must have been
planted during another year since
1880 to make the farm eligible for q
contract in 1886.
