the principal farm buildings. Why?
Because, in a very real sense, radio
has become a most important part of
the business of modern farming.
Crop, market and weather reports,
as well as bulletins on world events
and suggested methods for improving
the quality or increasing the produc-
tivity of his crops and livestock,
enable the farmer to increase his
financial return by altering his mar
keting and harvesting plans to meet
changing conditions and by obtain
ing better products or larger yields.
1t is not usually possible for the
farmer to leave his fields or buildings
and go to the house to hear broad
casts of the type just mentioned. 1t
is then that the extra radio in truck,
tractor or outbuilding proves it's
value in a really practical way-also,
chores seem less burdensome when
done to music.
Low in first cost, and extremely
cheap to operate, a modern all-elec-
trio all-Wave receiver certainly be-
longs in the living room of every
electrified farm And if you're look
ing for gift that combines moderate

John 15:14.
Inventory time has come, and it
seems that our lesson for today. al
though it does come in the middle
OF our study of the Gospel of Mat
thew, comes too to sort of pause
to consider what has been the re-
suit of that which Jesus had said
and done thus far in our study.
The answer we find is that He had
both friends and foes, both love and
hatred. His foes apparently out
numbered His friends. and the ha-
tired was evidently fierce and the
love none too warm. So Jesus was
defeated? No. far from it. AS, we
know, He won the victory over His
enemies.
The situation is not different to-
love Him truly are quite evidently
in the minority and all too often it
seems that hatred for the cause of
Christ has the upper hand. Are we
defeated? No. Jesus will ultimately
win the victory again. We are on
the winning side.

name abroad and whose name was

They were astonished, but they
were not ready to accept Him. They
could not deny the fact either of His
person or His power, but they could

utterable folly of refusing to accept
fact because it is astonishing. yet
there are thousands of people stand

ii. Hated Because of Sin Q4:1-N.
The pride of heart which causes
many to hold themselves too good
to follow the lowly Nazarene is sin.
There is also that which even the
world recognizes as sin which sep
arates men from Christ. D. L.
Moody is said to have written on
the fly leaf Of his Bible, This book
will keep you from sin, or sin will
keep you from this book" That is
true, and it is also true that sin
will keep a man from Christ.

put away sin, and when this man
heard Of Jesus, he at once assumed
that John had risen from the dead
to plague him still. So Herod also
took his place with the enemies OF
our Lord.

Christ, whether it be by indiffer-
ence, or by jealousy, or in outright
hatred, be sure there is sin in that

Reported recommendation
for a high, fixed bridge over

the inhabitants of the bisect-
ed little town somewhat grog-
gy. The bridge that is pro-
posed is said to be a four lane

proaches of about 1000 feet
on each side. There is to be
a public hearing in Philadel-

consideration is being given

TAKE POLL TAX
FIGHT TO
FEDERAL COURT

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Representa-
tives of the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare brought suit in the
Federal Court here Friday in an at
tempt to establish that payment of a
poll tax as prerequisite to voting in
Federal elections is a violation of the
United States Constitution.
J. S. Gelders, Birmingham, Alabama,
secretary of the civil rights committee
of the organization, said that the suit
seeks to eliminate the poll tax as a re-
quirement in the 1910 national election
in particular and also in all other elec-
tons Mayor Maury Maverick of San
Antonio, Texas, formerly a Represent
ative in Congress, is chairman of the
committee.
Members of the Southern Conference
for Human Welfare pointed out that
the Nashville suit was but one phase of
the fight to abolish the Doll tax. In the
last session of Congress, Representa-
tive Leo f. Geyer of California, acting
for the Conference, introduced bill
which would outlaw the poll tax in
Federal elections. In effect, the bill is
an amendment OF the Corrupt Practices
Act. If passed, the amendment would
make it unlawful for any person.

Private Boarding
School to Open
By TOKI

Interesting things are always turn
ing up here and there, but the most
interesting news of recent date is that
concerning the new Private Boarding
School for small girls which has just
come into being under the capable
direction of Miss Josephine Crawford,
known from here to there as the head
of the intriguingly successful summer
camp Whispering Willows" Miss
Miss Crawford conceived the idea of
private boarding school for girls
from the age of three to ten, when she
saw how readily the camp children
responded to community life, and how
much they enjoyed being together in
the healthful surroundings of her
spacious country estate.
We had the privilege of viewing the
nucleus of the boarding school this
week when we visited in Canton and
saw bright eyed youngsters eagerly
anticipating the opening. In the new

during the past three or four months
his condition, it is said, again took
bad turn. Finally he closed up his
office and spent all his time at his home
with his widowed mother, Mrs. Mary
Comsey, at s Concord Square.
As he was well-known in the South
End, where his family for many years
has owned several stores and apart
ment houses, the report that he plung-
ed from a third story window of his
home forty feet to the pavement deeply
shocked many residents of the COM
munity.
This happened on Thursday after
noon Of last week. His mother was
away at the time.
1t is learned that the doctor had suf-
fered heart attack week previous,
and his family physician was hurriedly
summoned. AS an explanation of the
accident, it is argued that the doctor
may have had another heart attack and,
leaning out the window for air, lost
his balance and toppled to the ground.
