Oysters Are Prolific

Oysters are very prolific. The
Atlantic coast species spawn five OF
six times during the season-from
May to August. An oyster may
discharge as many as one-half bill
lion eggs in a season. Only a few
survive. Less than one per cent

hatch and the young begin to swim
in a few hours. At the end of the
day they form a biValve shell,
then attach themselves permanent-
ly to rocks or other submerged OBJ
jects. They feed on microscopic
water life and grow rapidly.

FOURTH STREET CHURCH
NOTES

BY Miss Birdie l.. BOnnell
The Fourth Street Church of
God in Christ extends to all Twin

Sunday was a high day for

Paul was guest speaker for the
morning services, and preached a
powerful sermon that shall long be
remembered by the hearers.
The young peoples hour under
the direction of w. M. Jackson is
an hour of Scriptural education.
Each evening at 1880 a program is
rendered by the smaller group UNI
der the direction of Miss Birdie L..
Bonnell. You should hear these
programs and see these "little tai
ents" demonstrated.
Sunday evening Rev. Wilson
preached wonderful sermon from
Deuteronomy 4:32. Subject: "This
Thing" Indeed, it was message
that opened our eyes to the many
demonstrations of the spirit of
God. .-.
Tuesday evening Rev. and Mrs.
R. Hill and Mrs. Anna Wells, all
of Detroit, paid US visit. Their
beautiful songs and music and the
spirit-filled sermon by the Reverend
was an inspiration to US.
On March Q, at 1880 p. m, pag-
cant entitled "The Narrow Path"
will be given under the auspices
of the young peoples department.
We extend to all a cordial welcome.

He blamed district officials lack
of cooperation with bondholders for
the difficulties and litigation now
facing the district. He declared
he, as a bondholder. would be will
ing to make a settlement with the
district but would not favor any
violation of laws governing such
transactions.
"Bondholders have no ak to grind
and are not interested in local pol
itics." he insisted Politics should
not be allowed to predominant an
economic problem"
A seven-point program for the
district was suggested by the bond
holder as a ladder for pulling out
of present difficulties. The points
of his program were:
Settle with the three non
conforming bondholders now suing
the district in Imperial county Su-
perior court for payments due ON
their bonds.
Pay contingent A coupons on
the refunding bonds.
3-Transfer the balance in the
contingent fund to the sinking
fund
4-Buy up as many 1899 district
bonds as possible with sinking fund
money If the district buys imme-
diately, he said, a saving could be
affected
5-Pay the balance of the inter-
est money on hand to bondholders.
making it go as far as possible.
6-Obtain options from refund
ing bondholders for approximately
one year at the best price possible.
All the bonds could not be in
cluded but a material saving un-
doubtedly could be affected.
Levy sufficient rate to SER
vice the bonds for approximately a
year at which time credit would be
restored. With the savings affected
and the restored credit, bonds could
be refunded In the open market on

merchant of murder. To tell the
truth, it didn't bother him much.
He bought and sold all kinds Of
guns to killers. The guns he sold
were used to kill people. He re-
motely suspected that. But he fig
ured like any other arms COM
pany.
He didn't know that the men
who bought the guns from him
were going to use them to kill. He
very carefully saw to it that he
could never identify gun from
the bullet wounds found and ana
lyzed by the doctors in the murder
victims. That was none of his
business.
So for years, Ernest led a double
life. He very carefully solicited
the neighborhood for customers in
his legitimate business. After
