and that’s worth doing. News today is more important to yon than ever and whatever else you may decide to do without, you should not include your home paper which keeps you posted on events as they happen. The government’s income has dropped $113,000,000 the past seven months and that’s a lot of money, indicating that business has been on the decline. However it iis perhaps not as large as many I thought it was, representing a loss of about ten per cent. There are some indications that we have reached the bottom and may soon start on th© climb to a better condition and perhaps to a place in the world Higher than ever before. In the set-up for a state convenvention to vote upon the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, Adams county will have three delegates. The plan is to give each county one and an additional one for each 10,000 of population or fraction ; thereof. Six counties will have but I one: Brown, Union, Newton, Ohio,] Switzerland and Warren. Marion; county will have 43, Lake, 27 and , Allen 16. Just how these dele-! gates will be chosen is still to be j decided as is the exact date for the ' important session. When Claude G.

Here the fruits of his labor were tasted and found good. From here his fame went forth until it had spread the country over. Today he is a national figure, looked to with respect wherever he goes, praised by the many thousands inspired by the wisdom of his words. Claude G. Bowers is a study in industry and modesty. Possessing a brilliant mind, a keen insight into the ways of men. a style that makesi dell fact entrancing, he never let brilliance transcend worth.. He never fell back on his unusual gifts in order to avoid hard work. And, unlike some successful men, he never let his head grow too big for his hat. Historian, man of letters, orator, Claude G. Bowers has left a definite impress on the culture of the century. For himself, he has built a full career. For America, he has made a lasting contribution.

RAISING THE DAUGHTER OF J AIRUS

..A 1 Wfe ■ J; U. ~ g

Not long after he stilled the stormy waters of Galilee, Jesus returned to Capernaum and resumed his teachings on the shore. One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came to him in great trouble. "My little daughter ,s at the point of death,” Jairus said. and lay thy hands on her that she may be made whole and live.” So Jesus started with him and the multitude followed.

Preaching in the open by the I sea, Christ was approached by the | ruler of the synagogue whose I daughter was sick unto death. He | begged that she be made whole, I but before the home could be leached the girl was dead. And Jesus, taking with him his dose disciples and the patents of the child, went to the room of death , and restored her to life. Faith moves mountains, it was a time when faith was required. Juirus was filled with faith when he sought our Lord by the seaside; and that faith never wavered, despite the incredulity of the multitude, when he and his wife ' walked with Jesus to the bed es I death and waited the miracle they i knew would coine. In times such as these, faith is one of the greatest things that can help to restore us to a condition tar happier and brighter. All of us, when we come face to face with adversity, are too prone to ac ept conditions without battling to the utmost. We find that our first efforts fail. We try a second time, perhaps, only to meet defeat. Then, declaring it is hopeless, we give up the fight. No battle is lost while faith remains. We remember the story of our boyhood years of Robert Prime and the spider. Time after lime the web was destroyed. Time utter time the insect K|mn It anew. And in the end. lie accomplished the task because be could not be discouraged. Let us take a lesson from this. Let us have faith, aud coatiuue to have faith, battling ou aud on; aud. if we but do so, success will be ours in the isud.

Along the street crowds jostled and milled about the Savior and his disciples. A sick woman, twelve years afflicted with a malady supposed to result from her sins, touched his robe from behind and was healad without his intervention. “Who touched my robe?” the Savior asked. Frightened, the woman fell to her knees and confessed. “Daughter, go in peace and be whole,” Jesus counseled her.

They found the family mourning the dead with loud lamentafion“Why make ye the tumult and weep,” JesUs ask ed them, “The child is not dead, but sleepeth." They would not believe.

ADVICE — (To a yqung man who j * aspires to be a poet)) | 1 | By HARRY W. THOMPSON 1 ♦ —- ♦ if you want to be a poet, And want the world to know it, j* Just follow out a few brief simple - rules: Cultivate a "goofy” air. I And neglect to cut your hair. I And in every way proclaim your- > self a fool. I Voice your thoughts in words pe-| dantic. Nor forget to he romantic. When you’re out with gals who , plumb forget their age; I Never once fomet vour pose; i iGarb yourself in funny clothes. And soon you'll find yourself to ‘ be the “rage.” 1 When the critics criticize Wear a look of bored surprise; !
