Jumping Beans Stimulate Crickets

NEAChCkS
When thousands of crickets got
sulky and refused to perform before
the camera in a cricket plague
scene, a sack of energetic jumping
beans, with a lot of pituitary, was
rushed by plane from Mexico City.
Actual pictures of crickets were
painted on the beans which then
were mixed with the live crickets-
which thought that it was just SIM
ply cricket and caught on right
quickly. Anyway, the jumping pro-
clivities of the oomph beans kept the
crickets on the move, which kept the
movie people happy.
But, as might be expected, the
crickets finally carried the whole
thing to extreme. They invaded the
movie camp in such hordes they lit
orally chased the players off loca-
ton, spattered up the camera lens,
and got into the sound equipment.

and fine linen, and Jared sumptuous-
ly every day" This story is meant
to show what actually happens after
death not SO much in material
sense as in spiritual sense. This
rich man is an example. He got all
he could and kept it all for himself
otherwise he may have been a
good man.
VS.. 20, 21. "And there was a
certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full Of
sores and desiring to feed from the
crumbs which fell from the rich
mans table; moreover the dogs
came and licked his sores." No
name was given to the rich man but
there was to the poor man, showing
in the first place Gods estimate of
an acceptable soul. He was the
poorest of the poor and so miserable
as to be covered with sores-even a
hideous looking creature unnoticed
by the average man and disdained
by the very naughty rich. He was
grateful for anything, even the dis
carded crumbs.
v. 22. "And it came to pass, that
the beggar died, and was carried
by the angels into Abraham's bos-
om and the rich man also died,
and he was buried" The poor man
had angels for his pail bearers, hav-
ing come from God to take to an
abode of righteous souls the soul of
this despised man of poverty. The
rich man simply died and was bur-
ied-a short history.
V. %. "And in hell he lifted up
his eyes, being in torment, and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Laz-
arus in his BOSOM Just a glimpse
of one who failed to use rightly pos
sessions and privileges on earth
when the final reckoning comes-a
state of mind so filled with regrets
that lacerate the soul into such a
terrible condition as to make it
hell.

LIBRARY SUPPORT

There are certain questions about
the maintenance of the Kate Love
Simpson library which are asked re-
peatedly, indicating that there are
citizens who are unfamiliar with IL
brary organizations. Library work
ers are often asked, where do you
get your new books?" This in turn
brings up the question of how the
library is supported, which should
really be answered first. According
to Paul A. T. Noon, state librarian,
libraries in Ohio are of various
classifications, such as county, coun-
ty district, municipal, private, town
ship or school district. The local
one belongs in the school district
division and is sponsored by the
board of education. This board ap-
points the library trustees, of
which there is one selected annual
ly.
The Simpson library board has
exclusive authority over the man.
agement of the library and sole dis
position of its funds. Annually a
budget is prepared by the library
trustees estimating the amount
needed to run the library for the
coming year. This is submitted to
the county budget commission which
then determines the amount to be
allotted The finances of the library
are provided by the county out Of
the intangible tax fund which was
established to relieve real estate of
an excessive tax burden. The fund
was at first intended exclusively for
libraries, but as the return was
greater than was required for their
needs, the use of the income was
extended to other subdivisions, with
the reservation, however, that the
interests of the libraries must first
be provided for.
The question Of how the library
gets it's books is partially answered
by the fact that they are purchased
out of the annual appropriation
granted by the county budget COM
mission. They are bought from war;
ious publishers or booksellers
wherever it seems most advantag-
eous. Gifts of books are received
from time to time. The library well
comes books that are on approved
library lists and are in condition
sturdy enough to hold up in circula-
tion The cost of cataloging books
and getting them ready for circula-
tion is such that it does not pay to
shelve ones of poor quality.
There are now approximately g.
600 books on the shelves of the
Simpson library, all for circulation,
except a few reference books. The
library also receives 81 periodicals
of which all but the latest copy cir
culates for seven days

BIG REDS TROUNCE NEW
LEXINGTON 50 TO %

The Big Reds continued their
winning ways Friday night by
trouncing the New Lexington Panth-
ers SO to 23. This victory makes
the season record IL and one.
The Big Reds got off to the best
start they have had this year and
at the end of the first quarter they
were leading 16 to 5. During the
second period they missed several
shots but still managed to outscore
the Panthers, and at the half time
horn were leading 25 to 10.
During the third quarter the Big
Reds played their usual game. That
is, they completely overwhelmed
their opponents and piled UP a huge
lead. Against the Panthers they
scored IS points to bring their total
to 43 while the iPanthers hit the
hoop for eight points to bring their
total up to IS. In the final period
the Big Reds continued to pile up
points and at the final gun they had
amassed SO points while holding

The Christian Attitude Toward
Possessions, Luke 16:10-23, for
Sunday, Feb. 9:
Jesus would teach us that moth
ing more surely ruins mans soul
than wrong attitude toward ma
terial things and nothing more sure
ly indicates mans devotion IN
God than the right use of his pos
". 10. HE that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also
in much; and he that is unjust in
the least is unjust also in much. ;"
Fidelity is measured not only by our
conduct but also in the right use of
little things.
v. II. If therefore We have not
been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to you
the true riches?" Life here on
earth is a training ground, and to
fail in our stewardship on this side
of the grave is to make certain
that we shall have no stewardship
committed to us in the life beyond.
v. IL. "And if ye have not been
faithful in that which is another
mans, who shall give you that
which is your own?" If one is faith
full in trusted possessions while on
earth, in the world to come some
thing will be given him really and
truly his own. In fact the only per-
manent possession God offers man
is the kingdom of God here and
hereafter.
". 13. "No one can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon" We serve only that
which we love supremely and this
calls for determined decision.
There is nothing wrong with money
or any possession, if We put it in
it's right place, which is always af-
ter God and the things of the king
dom.
v. IA ''And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous, heard all these
things; and they derided him." The
Pharisees were lovers of money and
they considered Jesus absurd and
foolish because he placed spiritual
things first We are too much we'd
ded to this life for our own good;
cal senses and not enough on spirit
ual qualities and divine grace and
power.
Is. "And he said unto these,
Ye are they which justify yourselves
before men; but God knoweth your
hearts: for that which is highly es-
teemed among men is an abomina-
tion in the sight of Cod" Jesus de-
clared that while their business
principles and policies met with the
approval of men, they did not meet
with the approval of God. Many
make self-justiication a substitute
for actual holiness. 1t is easier to
justify ones self before men than it
is before God. Mark that it is the
heart life-one's motives-which
God sees that justifies man.

man, which was clothed in purple
