Lutz was tickled pink at the big meeting here and of course as the presiding officer, conducted affairs just as they should be. It was an old fashioned meeting, as “Clark” called it, with every- one happy over the prospects and delighted with the assurances made. J. Ward Callend was given a wonderful reception at yesterday's meeting and the fine thing about it is that those with whom he had the most dealings before, were the most sincere in their greetings. He will have charge of the field and will do his utmost every minute to make the beet growers happy. Col. Fred Reppert put a lot of pep into the meeting here yesterday afternoon when Mr. McMillen called him to the platform and he told the folks about the men associated with the Central Sugar Company and what their interests here meant. He closed by personally signing to raise beets and he had every one in the room smiling and, feeling friendly. There is a general good feeling among all our people because the sugar plant is to be operated this year, giving farmers the opportunity to raise this crop and on the best contract to be found any where. The growers will participate in all profits from sugar, pulp and molasses on a fifty-fifty basis and that's certainly a fair and square contract. The next important move is to secure the required 12,000 acres of beet contracts and while we have a good start on it, there should be no let up until this task is finished. We asked Mr. McMillen when activities would start at the plant and he replied. “Just as soon as we know we will can have the required acreage and when a few other details are completed.” so its very important that we hustle the work right alang. Miami authorities have it figured that they can send Zangura, the man who wounded five people in trying to kill President-elect Roosevelt, to eighty years in prison. That will perhaps be long enough and we don't believe any governor will

ever release such a dangerous character. And if they can keep him tied up it may be safer for the attendants at the prison. Contracts for raising sugar beets may be signed in a number of Decatur business houses and many . lare taking advantage of this offer. ■ These are turned over to Mr. Callend and rechecked through his field men.

Leadville, Colo., which as a mining town has produced millions of dollars worth*of gold and silver, seems to be lacking in gold and silver dollars at the present time. Leadville is so poor that it has decided not to hold a city election this spring. The mayor and the city councilmen will hold over until such time as their successors are chosen. So far as we have been able to learn the people of Lead-1 ville have a greater interest in! economy than they have in the | principle of government involved.

More than a ] thousand men, farmers interested I in the growing of this crop came, paid attention to every word that

was said and many of them signed contracts while here. Hundreds of others signified their intentions of doing so later, taking a few days time to determine the exact amount. Mr. McMillen. Mr. Snyder and Mr. Callend impressed the big crowd with their sincerity and their desire to do every thing possible for the restoration of the farmer to | the place he deserves. This comjmunity is extremely fortunate that j such men as these have decided to i reopen the big sugar plant here and to conduct it on a fifty-fifty basis with the farmers who assist them. We are sure every one who heard Mr. McMillen’s closing remarks realized that he was in earnest and that he was as he expressed it, very happy over the greeting j given him here and over the pros-1 pects for future frequent visits with the people here. It was a reunion for the man who lived many years , in Van Wert county, owned three ; farms in Adams county until re- . cently and still owns one 220-acre , tract here. Scores of former acquaintances greeted him and every one is happy that he is to be inter ested in the great work of restor- . ing the farmers to better times. o —— • * Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test question?

In the autumn of the second year of his ministry, Jesus was preaching from a boat anchored on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee. Desiring privacy and rest, he ordered his disciples to ’Sail across to the eastern shore where he might I spend a time in prayer and reflection. So the little boat started at sunset and other vessels ifollowed with many who would continue with I him.

M. “The Mercy of God” will be the sermon subject w.licit will be delivered at 3:00 p. m. by the Rev. R. W. Rash. This little mission is for the purpose of pointing folks to Christ the Savior of the world. We are truly glad for those who have found him ' in our reular services and also for , those who have dedicated their 1* lives to the service of Jesus. * If you have a need in your life ! come to the mission and let us help you over the rough places in life. ' We are here to serve, so we will be 1 looking for you. O —: 1 First Evangelical Church ; M. W. Sundermann, Minister j Washington and Lincoln were men of prayer. Divine guidance was . no more needed in those days than at present: God is ever ready to do t Ilia pail. We need a spiritually discerned leadership in these days. The church is God's institution, and the Lord's Day is set apart for prayer and worship. The morning service will open at 9:15 with a worship service in. all departments of the church school. There will be classes in Bible Study for all ages. Following the lesson 1 study, the pastor will preach upon: "Jehovah God.” Christian Endeavor meeting at 6:15 Topic: "Why Marriages sueceed or fail." M. W. Sundermann 1 Leader. > Evening service at seven o’clock ' Followers of Christ By Harlowe R. Hoyt One of the outstanding charac-1 j trusties of Jesus during the years ot his ministry was his unwillingness to display his pbwer by the performance of miracles. Time and again in the descriptions of I his travels as we find them in the I gospels it is evidenced that he was unwilling to satisfy the de- i mands of unbelievers to prove his' claims bv supernatural means. The reason for this is evident. Jesus was sent to earth to bring a message, to found a faith, te establish a truth The healing of Ihe sick, the raising of the dead, the turning of wine into water. I were incidents that happened to occur in the march of the progress he. dominated. But, because they 1 were miracles, they established his name iu far reaches of the earth and, at the same time caused those whom he sought to convert to loose track ot his real purpose. To him it was something that might parlake of ostentation in that it overshadowed the real things of life. Ostentation is display. Each and every one of us is inclined to it at times. We view the boastful braggart with disdain, and yet too often we fail to find the weakness in our owu armor—the tendency to ostentation. It is right, and proper for us to have a proper estimation of our worth. We must possess that to accomplish the task set before us. But we must beware ot ostentation. Vanity is not only to be condetuned. It' injures those who j give way to it. "Pride goelh be-i fore a fall" aud by watching our-1 selves closely we may escape it. If we but do our best, judge ourselves fairly, aud beware ot pride, we will accomplish those things which are expected ot us.

Tired from the exertions of the day, Jesus lay in the stern of the fishing vessel and fell asleep. As he slumbered, a sudden storm so common to the sea raised the waters of Galilee in wild commotion. Waves dashed over the open boat. Those who followed turned back to their starting point. The disciples started to bail but the sea came in much faster than they were able to clear it.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Stilling of the Storm QUESTIONS 1. When did the incidents of today s lesson occur? 2. Where did they take place? 3. What had Jesus been doing shortly before this event? 4 Why did he commence to pt ach from a fishing boat? 5. What incident took place shortly before sailing? 6. What boat was used? • j 7. What of the storms of Gali | lee ? 8. What did his disciples do? | 9. What happened on landing? 10. How did the man with the , unclean spirit re act to Jesus’ , miracle? ANSWERS 1. The incidents of today's lesson took place in 28 A.D., in the autumn, in the second year of Christ’s ministry. 2. The place was the Sea of Galilee and Gergesa on the western shore. 3. Shortly before this, Jesus bad inaugurated his system of preaching by parables. He was threatened by his enemies and to prevent their charging him with blasphemy he spoke in parables and left it to them to interpret the meaning. 4. So great were the crowds which came to hear him preach that Jesus was unable to control them. They fairly mobbed him in an effort to be healed. So Jesus look a boat a short distance from shore and spoke from it. 5. Shortly before sailing, three men came to him and asked to ( join his company of disciples. A I scribe hesitated when warned of the hardshis involved. Another wished to remain to bury his dead father, and yet another to say farewell to his family. So they were not accepted. 6. The boat in which Jesus spoke and in which he sailed with his disciples probably belonged to Peter, since it was at I’eter't house that Jesus made his home at this time. 7. Galilee is a treacherous body of water. It is surrounded by cliffs and bills rising from three hundred to one thousand feet. The sea is hot on the surface and masses of air rising ( cause sudden storms of extreme ( violence. 8. When the storm arose, Jesns was asleep He list! lair, down In 'he stern of the boh' and was resting from his exertions. His disciple:; finally awoke him, when ' they found the boat about to sink, and \he quieted the storm by 1 ordering it to be still. ’ i 9. He met a with an unclean spirit and hertormed a miracle Whereby he 'was healed. 10. The man who bad been healed desired io accompany ’ Jesus, but was told io remain and 1 fell Ills people of liuw he had been healed, thus bearing witness ' to the power of God. ) Zion Reformed Church Charles M.

At last, despairing of reaching shore, the disciples awoke Jesus. “Master, carest thou not that we perish?” they asked him. Jesus looked upon the storm and spoke. "'Peace!” he commanded. “Be still.” The wind ceased and a great calm came. “Why are ye fearful?” he asked his followers. “Have ye not yet faith?” So they sailed on until they landed on the other side in the country of the Gerasenes.

Hearty response was given to him through the initial signing of the first contracts to raise beets and the cooperation offered him by, individuals in general. The contract guarantees a minimum price of $4.60 a ton for beets delivered at the local plant. The j grower participates on a 50-50 basis with the manufacturer on the sale of al) sugar, pulp and I molasses from the beet crop, but |is assured that he shall receive : not less than four dollars a ton 1 for the beets. / ■ | o DEATH CLAIMS JAMES CORBETT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE • this morning and administered a I ■ narcotic which Induced a deep sleep fut several hours.

Reaching shore, the little band found themselJ among the tombs in the cliffs overlooking tlj sea. From thence came a demoniac who ha broken his fetters and escaped. The man bi teeched Jesus to heal him. “Come forth, tha unclean spirit!” He spoke. Restored to hl right mind, the man would have joined th disciples, but Jesus ordered him to remain an bear witness to the Lord's goodness.
