GROUND is TOO WET
FOR TOBACCO SEEDS
No General Sowing Done as Yet, But
Time for Planting Beds Is
Drawing Near

Although the present normally
would see many tobacco seedbeds be-
ing set, very few have been put into
the ground this year on account of
the extremely wet season. Rains have
been almost incessant for nearly two
months, with the exception of Christ
mas week and a clear day here and
there
The precipitation has not been
heavy all of the time, tut mists, driz-
zles and cloudy weather have kept the
sun hidden most of the time for the
G0-day period.
Farmers have feared that seedbeds
sown now would terminate quickly
and then any plants sprouting thro-
ugh the surface would be killed by
cold weather that is looked for at any
time. There has been virtually no
severely cold wea1her this winter.
Scarcely more than half dozen days
have seen mercury drops as low as
freezing. And, while this means that
there will certainly not be as much
severe cold as the four or five months
of severe weather in 1856, there
is yet opportunity for temperatures
that would kill young plants. Feb.
ruary is month that is always fear
ed
There is yet abundant time to grow
an ample supply of plants, at the
same time farmers are beginning to
wish for an opportunity to put in
their seedbeds so as to be on the safe
side

Economic Approachto Liquor Problem
THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Economic Aspects

That the use of alcoholic beverages
has increasing economic aspects is
evident from the nations increasing
drink bill. The liquor control agency
of one state (Ohio) has recently re-
ly $45,00O,O0O for the year 1886, an
increase of about $12,OO0,0O0 over the
corresponding sales of 1885.
More significant still are the reports
from life insurance companies show
ing alarming increases in reflections
of applicants because of their eX-
cessive use of intoxicants. Reflections
for this cause among applicants under
80 years of age in the year 1SS5-1936
in one large representative company
amounted to 1877 out of every 100 re-
jections, while this same figure for
1931-1932 was only 11.9 per 100 rejec-
lions. Unisurability for this cause ex-
ceeded that for all other causes "a
mong applicants under As years of age
Surely this destruction of health of
our younger group of citizens is no
small or inconsiderable part of the
economic aspects of this vital social
problem! Of similar nature are the
figures of accident insurance COM
panies showing that from 60 to Is per
cent of our serious automobile acct
dents involving personal injury or
death are traceable to excessive use
of liquor.
The Advantages of SObriety
The advantages of sobriety are dealt
with by our Lord in his last day Of
public teaching in these words: "Who
then is the faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord hath set over his house
hold, to give them their food in due
season? Blessed lis that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find
so doing. Verify, say unto you, that
he will set him over all that he hath.
But if that evil servant shall say in
his heart, my lord tarrieth; and shall
begin to beat his fellow-servants and
shall eat and drink with the drunk
en-, the lod of that servant shall come
in a day when he expecteth not, and
shall cut him asunder, and appoint his
portion with the hyprocrits: there
shall be the weeping and the gnash-
ing of teeth
The Adequate Remedy
No adequate remedy for the evil re-
suits of intemperance and drunken
ness is to be hoped for by legislation,
but only Ky reformation. The love of
Christ must so dominate the life as
to expel the love of anything which
may defile the body, which is his tenn
pie, or injure others about one in the
family or society. The Christian solves
the problem bV acceDtino Christ when
he says: II am the bread of life; he
that cometh to me shall not hunger
and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst. Work not for the food
which perisheth, but for the food
which abideth unto eternal life, which
the Son of man shall give unto YOU

 In pointing out thb oddity Of this political battel, the old timers de-. clared that they were not referring to the tieup between the Republl- can and Independent Democratic tickets. That, In Itself, S enough to make the campaign unusual, they said. But there are many other queer clements, they pointed out,
 One of the main things In the present campaign Is It's mildneSS, they say, asserting that there k less talk and fighting going on At e time when things should be rcd hot, than in any campaign within their memory. They said that the Sand. land~ ~scully election was Q quiet one but 1t was not nearly as quiet aS the present one. Each day, they say, they have been waiting for . blast In the press or over the radio, but thus far it has failed to appear and the campaign really has only about three more days to go, It is generally believed that Q campaign always closes on Saturday night, and the Sunday and Monday work of
