ZEPHANIAH CALLS FOR
REPENTANCE
BY DIVISION OF WiLDLlFE

Zephaniah who labored about
the time that jeremiah did, and
not dong before Judah was car
ried into captivity, was greatly
concerned about the corruption
of Judah and he strove to bring
the people to repentance. But
they were slow to hear and they
failed to heed what the prophet
declared. AS a consequence, they
were soon carried as exiles into
Babylon.
So we find the prophet warn
ing the people against their evil
ways and urging them to return
unto God. The Lord declares that
he will search out Jerusalem, and
in the great day of Jehovah the
silver and gold of the people will
not save them and the whole
land will be devoured if they do
not repent.
In the third chapter Zephaniah
seemingly looks beyond the 70
years of captivity to a brighter
day which shall come for Judah.
In the days when the discipline
of the exile has ended the people
will come to better things. Jehov-
ah will be in the midst the
mighty One to save. We cannot
do better than identify this
blessed period with the coming
and the reign OF Christ in the
world. 1t was a distinguishing
feature of the dwelling of Christ
on earth that God dwelt with
men. According to prophecy one
'of the names of Jesus was Eman-
uel, which means God with us. "
So may we labor the harder to
spread abroad the teaching of the
gospel and to bring a larger num-
ber of men to know Him whom
to know is life eternal.

How are you fixed for casting
spoons and plugs? Before long, If you
live In the North or West, you'll be
out swinging for bass, northern pike,
pickerel, and walleyes ). and If you
live in the South you just haven't
stopped swingin'! So it's good time
to check over your tackle box and
see if you are in shape for the sum-
mer
During Old HIS rambles around the
country he's had lot of fun and sue
cess in tossing out red-and-white
striped wiggler spoons for those fam
lshed small and largemouth black
bass. And pike and pickerel haven't
been backward in nabbing these
spoons eitheri Then there is the wig
gler spoon Joined with a June Bug
spinner that is humdinger for taxi
ing these same game fish.
When the bass, pike and walleyes
are gadding about the bottom for
mlnnows, heave out jointed plug in
scale finish design or with red head
and white body. Fellers, there's some
thing about the wiggle and action of
deep running plug of this kind that
sets the fish chow-crazy And Just as
an added fact - did you know that
even lake trout go for these plugs?
Yes, sir, you can bet they do!
AS the evening shadows lengthen
and the bass come to the surface for
bugs, Dragon flies and other insects,
or to nab young frogs then you want
to cast short, stubby plug that ducks,
pops and struggles along the top.
Southern anglers hang up some of
their largest bass by means of the
popping plugs, and fishermen in the
North are finding them to be excel
lent at many lakes and rivers.
Maybe you haven't tried the mouse
like plug for bass or northern pike,
but brother you should give it whiri
at your favorite fshin' hole! Some
times it's surprising what interest this
lure stlrs up among these game fish.
Perhaps because it offers a different
kind OF food in many cases. The main
thing that most fish are concerned
about - besides their enemies - is
grub, and they like change as well
as we do. That's one good reason why
it pays to put few different kinds of
casting lures into the trays of your
tackle kit.
This holds true for salt water fish
ing as well as for fresh water. You'll
find some mighty helpful suggestions
along this line by reading Old HIS
booklets salt Water Sports Fishing"
and Fishing For The Millions Just
drop penny post card to me, Old Hi,
in care of this newspaper, and you'll
get free copies of these illustrated
books. Please be sure to write your
name and address plainly, SO there'll
be no difficulty in sending the b 5oks
to you.

Of SSH 1862 for power. In 1949 the
payment was S114,593. The aver
age electric bill for each custo-
mer is $5.84 per month and each
customer used an average of 16l
kilowatt hours per month.
The uernse Muskingum
Electric Coop has l,245 miles of
lines in the 18th district and
serves 4,772 customers in four of
my counties. For electricity dis
Stributed they paid $95,890 in 1949
to the Ohio Power Co. This CO.
operative has never made any de-
fault in payments. The average
bill of each customer is S6.1l per
month. The Washington Electric
Coop has 1854 miles of line and
serves 3,548 customers. This CO.
operative purchases electricity
from both the Marietta Electric
Co. and the Ohio Power Co.
These companies were paid $54,-
Sol in l949. The average electric
bill of each consumer is $500 per
month.
The chief reason why the
farmers of the United States had
to wait so long for electricity was
the mistaken belief that they
would use very little of it. Facts
have proven that farmers are the
greatest users of electricity. In
1948 the average rural customer
consumed 131 kilowatt hours.
The average rural customer in
the 18th district uses about $50
kiloWatt hours of electricity per
month. In 1948 the average
monthly consumption was l2O
kilowatt hours in GAINESVILLE and
the average monthly consump-
ton in Cambridge was go kilo-
watt hours. Thus, the average
farm customer consumes far
more electricity. than the city
consumer.
Within a year the two private
power companies and the three
rural electric cooperativeS oper-
ating in my district will be in a
position to supply every farmer
requesting electricity. The bene-
fit to the farmer and his family
can not be over emphasized and
no where is this benefit more
widespread than in the 18th dis
trict-a record of which all our
people may be justly proud.
