Word has come from Indianapolis that the state is figuring on boosting the state’s levy. It's about time for the state to make a cut, including slasli- ’’ Ing of the highway tax. r. - r.

Ralston, democratic candidate for United States senator will open the campaign at Huntington on Thursday, August 31st and plans are being made for a big meeting. Democrats from over the | state have been invited and no doubt 1 Mr. Ralston, famous for his splendid management of state affairs while gov ernor will bo given a great ovation. There's a lot to be said on both sides ,of the college question. It is true that I you can find college graduates in jail, and boys who have never seen the inj side of a school house sitting in the seats of the mighty, but that isn't the I rule, Dean Farrell, of Kansas Agri cultural College says, and we have no desire to question his figures, that “An American with no schooling at .all has one chance in 150,000 of be coining eminent. With a high school 'training he has eighty-seven times as good a chance. With a college educa tion he has 700 times as good a j chance.” Going to college, for most boys, means a few years of hard study and ! penny-pinching, but if it increases the chances for success 700 times, you iiave the answer to the question. Why. indeed, shouldn’t the boy go to col lege, even if it involves some sacrifice on his own part, and some on the part of his family?—Farm Life. $_$_4_WANT ads EARN—s—s—s WANT ADS EARN—s—s—l

DOLLAR RISES Berlin, Aug. 25. —The birthrate in Germany rises and falls in direct ra tion to the fall and rise in the value' of the American dollar. Figures gathered by the government from cities of 1,500 population and over show that the principal factors, aside from the fluctuation of the dollar, at’ fecting the wavering birthrate line are exorbitant wholesale prices and the high cost of living in general. The figures, tabulated by months, show that the rate of birth in Germany during 1921 was highest in February From March until June, 1922, a de- 1 tided downward trend set in. This, ceased abruptly in July. During the' ’ corresponding propagating months, it is pointed out, the dollar stood at a comparatively high level in exchange value. The minimum birthrate, at tually expected in November came in October. January was also a low -birthrate month. In February and March, 1921, the value of the dollar was much more acceptable from the' German viewpoint and a corresponding! increase in birthrate was recorded in ; November and December. i Medical authorities in the government point out that the present com parativelv low value of the mark will do much to curtail the birthrate Jn the spring and summe.r of 1923.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Prayer as a Preparation tor All Undertakings. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Prayer and Powsr. I. Nehemlah Learns of the Distroae of the Captives (w. 1-3). 1. When (v. 1). Twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes (2:1). The month Chisleu corresponds to our December. It was while performing his duty as cupbearer to the Persluu king. While in this Important position thpre entered into his heart u desire to honor God and do good to his people. A young man can be true to God in any position in life if he sets ids heart on Jesus Christ ami communes with Him by prayer and Mudy of God's word. A man may be elevated to a high position, prosper in business, and yet live a life unepotted from the world. 2. By Whom (v. 2). Hia brother Hanani and certain men of Judah brought him the news. His inquiry shows that though he was prosperous ho did not forget Ms unfortunate brethren. We should never let our success and well-being shut out sympathy for the oppressed and suffering. 3. The Nature of the Distress (v. 3). The wall of Jerusalem whs broken down. Its gates were burned with fire and the remnant of the captives were in great affliction and reproach. 11. Nehemiah's Sorrow (v. 4). | The news of his brethren’s distress greatly moved Nehemlah. He sat down and wept and mourned several days. He fasted and prayed before God. God’s people are so essentially one that the affliction and shame of the one is the affliction and shame of all. No one will ever do much to help a distressed people who does not deeply feel their desolation. Nehemiah’s sorrow was not the kind that says “I pity you” and goes on in ways of selfishness without making an effort to help. True pity expresses itself in an effort to help. HI. Nehemiah's Prayer (vv. 5-11). He knew where to go for help. Ha took the matter upon bls heart to God in prayer. The first and best way to help others is to pray for them. Nehemlah did not merely pray; he left his place at the Persian court qnd journeyed to Jerusalem and took hold with his own hands. Our prayers and tears must be translated Into definite action if we would be of real help to others. Note the characteristics of this prayer. I 1. Its Worshipful Spirit (v. 5). He recognized God as the great and terrible One, the Lord Gad of heaven. True prayer shows that spirit of worship. j 2. Its Ground (v. 5). It was on the ground of covenant relation that He besought God. On tlds ground all who are In Christ Jesus can come and plead before God. 3. It Was Persistent (v, 6). He prayed day and night. God is pleased when His servants are persistent in their pleadings with Him. Those who understand the covenant relation will be Importunate In their petitions, | 4. It Was Accompanied by Confession of Sin (w. 6,7). In this confession he mentioned definitely his sin (v. 7). We should specify the sins which we have committed. Most people when praying are too general In their confessions. 5. He Pleads God’s Promises (vv. 8, ft). In our praying we should remind God of His own words. It is when His words abide in us that we can Intelligently pray (John 15:17). If we would be successfuj In our praying we should fill our minds with God’s promises. 6. He Pleads Relationship (v. 10). He reminds God that they were His children by redemption. Those who are' in Christ are God’s children by redemption through His precious blood. The child has a claim upon its father, God's Children "have a claim upon Him. 7. It was Intercessory Prayer (v.ll). With intense earnestness he definitely prayed that God would give him favor before the king in order that he might be enabled to help his people. The king's favor was needed in order to enable him to help his brethren. God is able to move the heart of a heathen king and tlius further His own cause by means of the prayer of a humble servant. .

And Now-Profit in Farming Without the Drudgery FORDSON power makes more productive seed beds. The tractor does its work so rapidly and does so much of the heavy work of farming, that farm drudgery is passing. Expenses are reduced. Better crops are grown. In the bringing about of this new era, the Oliver No. 7 Plow has been the working partner of the Fordson. It is so light running and so scientifically designed that its work has made it a reputation enjoyed by no other tractor plow. It is extremely easy to handle. Depth is adjusted by moving a lever that operates a jack. So easy is this done that most drivers doJict stop or slow down to make a change in the plowing depth The power lift is tripped by simply touching a rod which is so convieniently placed that the driver need not turn his head to operate it. There is no side draft because the plow is in perfect alignment with the tractor. To farm the Fordson way means so small an investment that it is within easy reach of every farmer. Come in and see the Oliver No. 7 gang and you, too, will decide to farm the Fordson way. SHANAHAN CONROY AUTO CO. FORD AGENTS Decatur, - - - - Indiana Complete Staniars!
