I.J .11 V~i r The Plow a Man Can Pull One of first questions many farmers ask when they go to buy a plow. Will it take the ground. It is an important matter with them. They are entitled to know. The J. I. Case New Foot Lift Sulky has a penetration arm connecting the rear end of the main frame to the rear end of tne beam. This arm is fitted with jam nuts. Lengthening this arm by means of the nuts gives more penetration to p the plow, shortening it, gives less. \ After proper penetration has been secured, the j depth of furrow is regulated by the front furrow wheel level and it will always take the ground.

► FIRST SHOP MEETING HELD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) special lesHon therein contained. These words are typical. They were true then in that distant country and . those far off times, |( They are true in this country and age, they have been true in all ages and in every dime. Jesus has ever been crowded out. No room In the world for that one who came to bless it most. Men are not lighting Jesus today as in the days of yore. PThe time was when to profess Christ meant hardship and persecu--6 tion, exile and even ignominious g death. Many a Christian, in bygone days, has been burned at the slake J or crucified upon the cross, for the y cause of Christ. Glowing Tribute But today thoughtful inen everyg where respect Christ and Christianity j They pay Him glowing tribute. They tell us that he. is our highest example of all that is good, the only pattern c that shows to man whence he came and whither lie ought to tend. That in him is condensed all that is good, all that is noble and exalted in our natures —bit they admit Hin; B not. They give Him no standin? room, no place in their brain or in their heart, in their affections or ia their lives. He has no part or lot in them. He is simply crowded out. How little the spirit of Christ we have in the world today. In business life, in home life, society and even in the church. The world Is dying for the practical application of Christianity. Sometimes there is more Christianity in a ton of coal or in a sack of flour than in a sermon. I always had sympathy for that tramp who went to the door of a Christian woman and asked for help. She handed him a tract on the bread of life. He tore it up and went away cursing and railing at her and God and everything. What that man needed was a sandwich and a hot cup of coffee. The shortest way to thr.t man’s heart was not through his head but through his stomach. Like the Old Hermit Too many today are like the old hermit who prayed all night while a poor tramp starved and froze to death on his door-step. The world is dying for practical evidence of Christianity lived out every day. I say the world is dying for such practical manifestations of the spirit of Christ. What the. world wants is Christianity and not orthodoxy, for. as Wesley once said: “You may be as orthodix as the devil and just as mean." We fail to practice what we claim to believe. Every Man Is Weak. Every man lias his weakness. With you it may be your booze. With another it may be his lying proclivities or his licentiousness. With me it is my temper. You may not think it, , but I've had a temper like a sheet iron stove —a bunch of shavings and a match would make it red hot in a few minutes, but by the grace of God, I i am getting it down to the base burner basis. The two hardest verses in i

the scriptures for me to live up to are these: "Ye have heard that it has been said—thou sbalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy, but I say unto you love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that despitefully use you and persecute you”. If you think it is easy to obey these verses, just try it for once When some one says mean, content])table and lying things about you, you just try to love that person, get down on your knees and try to pray for such one, and you will find out how easy It is to obey such commands. It is easy enough to preach but it is mighty hard at times to practice. The Tobacco Habit The question Is sometimes asked me: "Can a man be a Christian and use tobacco?” Yes, he can, but he will be a mighty dirty one. You may use tobacco and be as good a Christian as I am. but you would be a much better one if you did not use it. You respect me more because I don’t use it, and others would respect you more if you refrained from its use. ou would not care to hear me preach if I used it. If I should walk down the street with a big wad of climas or fine cut in my cheek and an old corn cob pipe in my mouth, and when 1 get to the door take it out, knock the ashes out put it in my pocket next to my heart, get up here with the fine cut between my teeth, the juice running down the corners of my mouth, my breath sulficient to drive a poll-cat out of its den, and get up and preach to you about a clean gospel you would feel like saying: "If the Holy Spirit has to roost around that old turkey buzzard, I pity the Holy Spirit.” Perhaps some of you men wonder why your wives are not more affectionate. why they do not kiss you any oftener. You may find the explanation right here. Your Value In Need Your value in this world is determined by what you are and not by what you possess, and what you are is determined by what you do. Last year we spent $300,000,000.00 for candy. We enabled the Standard Oil company to declare 42 per cent dividends for 68 per cent of the candy in the market is made out of refined crude petrleum, paraffine, which is nothing but refined crude petroleum. Last year we spent $22,000,000.00 for chewing gum. We sepnt more money for chewing gum last year, than was given to missions by all the churches, both Catholic and protestant combined. Last year we spent $100,000,000.00 for lodge fees. And yet when it comes to the cause of God we dole out a few pennies from our surplus money and we never do it but we sing. "God be with you till we meet again.” Compare the amount of money spent today for whiskey, for tobacco, for amusements and for the many other things in the world with the small amount spent for Christ and Christianity, and then answer me: ( “How much room has Christ in it all? Surely the old monk was right when' he said that the world had no room for the Christ still. The law of Moses said: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” But

i Jesus said: "If one shall smite thee I on one cheek, turn to him the other j also." Nearly Choked to Death The trouble is the church has been 1 running off to the theater, to the dance, to the card parties, you have been trying to gulp down the pleasures of the world until you are about choked to death. It is going to take some hard blows to straighten you out, but I will do my very best. By die grace of God I will try to dislodge these things. How are you using influence in society to help others to be better? Let me tell you how some have used theirs. Mrs. McAlpin wife of the adjustant general of the state of New York, was assisting once in receiving guests at a reception at Governor Morton’s. Tlwfy were niulti-'ntilioiv aires. She called a number of the young women together and among them the two daughters of the governor. She said: "What- are we here for anyway? I am heartily tired of this froth and foam of society. It is all a hollow show. There is nothing abiding but the religion of Jesus Christ." And there under the candelabra of the rich and surrounded with all the elite of society she talked to those girls of higher and nobler and better things. She arranged with them and one afternoon a week she met with those society young women and studied the Bible, teaching them the principles of Jesus Christ. What Room? What room are you giving in your social life to Christ? What room has Christ today in your business life? J believe that God calls men to business life just as much as lie calls others to preach. But nine-tenths of our business men are built on the compartment plan. One day in seven they close up their stores and go to church and read psalms and sing and pray and then the other six days they go down town into the world and buy and sell and drive hard bargains just like the men of the world, until those of the world can see no difference. o K. OF C. NOTICE. It is important that all members attend the meeting Monday. March 1. Arrangements will be made for the joint initiation with Huntington. Also other important business. G. K. o An objection which applies to nearly all small private garages is that either in entering or leaving one of them it is necessary to back the motor car. This difficulty has been overcome in a garage lately built in one of the suburbs of Chicago ty constructing it on a turntable, says the March Papular Mechanics Magazine in an ilustrated article. The building is 20 feet in length, 10 feet wide, and has doors at both ends. Thia makes it posible to drive a machine in through the front doorway, swing the whole structure end for end, and drive out through what previously was the rear opening. — o LOST—GoId class ring, initials, “D.

When Professor Duane and his pretty daughter Lydia enter the wilds of Hindustan, they are accompanied by Roscoe Harding, the professor’s assistant, and by Lieutenant Tavlsh, a plotting English officer. Harding and Lydia are engaged to be married. Tavis secretly loves the maiden. He plots with Hindus to disgrace Harding, and succeeds. Harding is discharged by t,he professor, but resolves to follow the party, being determined to protect the girl from Tavis, whom Harding suspects. Gunda t)in, a wild Hindu prince, also covets the beautiful girl. On the night of “moonlight death" he and his fierce followers slay all members of the party of research except the girl and Tavlsh. They are taken prisoners. Harding comes upon the scene of struggle. His Hindu companions desert him, stealing his rifle. He fol-

lows on alone. Armed with his trusty revolver, Harding rescues Lydia and the lieutenant after a thrilling escape across a swaying bridge, they make good their escape. Tavlsh confesses to Harding the despicable plot in which he has been involved, after i which they enter into friendship's bonds. Harding is vindicated and ■ Lydia becomes his blushing bride. ■ This two reel drama, crowded with logical action and tense situations, was written by James Oliver Curwood. It will be shown in local theaters. It’s a Selig production. Forked Trails, a Selig western i drama in one reel, to be shown soon in this city, relates how the belle of Cattleland made a choice between ’ two bold cowboys who are rivals for her heart and hand. A "punch" in every inch of this film.

The Selig Jungle-Zoo, located at Los Angeles, Cal., Is s:i<d to be the only institution of Its kind in the world Bill Haywood has an ambition to become a producer of motion pictures. He engages the services of a company of stranded actors. Then tilings begin to occur. A hilarious farce com edy every scene in which is a scream. Good farce comedies are relished by every audience. Selig is fortunate in securing the best stories of this class. "The Perfumed Wrestler, ’’ written by W. E. Wing, tells how Fritz won a wrestling match. It is a laugh-pro-voker for a fact. “Roping a Bride" is an entertaining western comedy drama of Selig manufacture, and Tom Mix is the star. He wins the bride in an unusual manner This unusual picture play, to be shows in this city, is filled with daring acts of horsemanship and rope throwing. "Cats" is a rip-roaring one reel Se lig comedy writted by Jarnos Olivet Curwood, and it will be presented at a local theater soon. Jinks' wife loves cats, and they are everywhere. However, when Jinks comes home and finds a lot of kittens reposing in his perfectly good silk hat, he draws the dead line. Finally there is a family compromise in which Mrs. Jinks agrees to be satisfied with a maximum of five feline pets. Chuckles, giggles and laughs guaranteed in each and every scene.
