A crash in wheat and rye at Winnipeg coupled with another rally in the dollar set off further selling before the end of theHrst hour. The recovery occurred in the last half hour but it was not until nearly 20 minutes later that traders learned of it because of late tickers. The rally was impressive in many issues. Du Pont sold down to 61% and then jumped to 67% where it was up 1%. U. S. Steel rose from 50% to around 54, against .a previous close of 52%; Auburn recovered a point of a 4-point loss; Allied Chemical made up a 5-point loss; American Telephone reduced by several points an early loss of more than 4 points. There were many instances where bids were lacking. Case which did not sell in the last three hours yesterday, came out at 72% cff 5% and then failed to sell again. Homestake mining sold at 225.

Os all the judges of the Old Testament, the greatest was Gideon. He belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, the family of Abiezar. The son of Joash, he dwelt in Aphrah, a village west of the Jordan in the very heart of the land known as Samaria in the time of Christ. The name Gideon means "a cutting off" “a hewing down"—a name most appropriate for one of his strength and character.

The next sale was 235 and the next 225 again. Then in a series of drops it touched 200 where it was off 30 points. Next it appeared at 220. So far this year, Homestake ranged between a low of 145 and a high of 275. the latter a record. Yesterday it ranged between 210 and 250 and closed at 230 for a loss of 17 points.

E. Archbold i county agent. Dr. Coshow is miking a survey] in (Adams county on Avian Tuberculosis. His visit in St. Marys township took him to 165 flodks. Only 23 were infected. He reported infected flocks where clicinal examination, or testing was done. It wtas found that 1|,170 hens ; were two years old or older. He said the low figure on two-year old hens indicate that flock owners in St. Marys township have followed the recommendations for the eradication of the disease, and are cull- I ing off and selling their old hens. Dr. Coshow expects to take up the Avian Tuberculosis survey in French township next. The average , percentage of infected' flocks for the county is 18%.

In Gideon’s time, the land was overrun by Midlanites and fierce tribes from the Arabian go forth and save his people. Acting upon this, desert. Gideon received a call from Jehovah to he threw down his father's altar to Baal and cut down the wooden Ashrah pillar beside it and with the wood, offered up a burnt sacrifice of a bullock to Jehovah. That he conquered the pagan idol made him famed.

Hoyt < We remember Gideon as the great judge of the Israelites who! i defeated an overwhelming force 1 by instilling their hearts with fear. By night, his chosen few crept to the camps of the enemy. 1 Breaking pitchers, they disclosed firebrands sending up an ominous t glare in the blackness. To top all i c this, there was a frightful blare of | c trumpets, threatening and shrill. a With fear in their hearts and ] terror in their voices, the halt awakened army sprang to its feet and fled, never stopping to dis- c cover the cause of its terror. n Unreasoning terror is the cause , t of many of the great calamatiesjt of life. Fear inspires panic; ami fc panic brings destruction. It is b found in the great financial marts. I e when stocks go falling and mil-1 ‘ lions are lost. It is found in bank-] ing circles, when clamoring mas- a ses bring bank failures through <; runs. It is found in crowded v places, as theaters or halls, when r some slight disturbance sets the mob mind into panic and pande- t monium ensues. li In time of stress, a calm mind u is an aaset above all things. When r others give way to fear, the one [ who can command the situation c is the person with quiet assurance I a to bring order out of chaos. 1 1 The world today is on the verge of a panic of fear. There is tear f of war. fear of revolution, fear of i 1 financial disaster, fear of famine. ! > fear of anything you would choose. New, If ev&r. is the time i to maintain a solid common sense . and help control a difficult situa- 1 tion by not giving way to fear, j '

Great masses of the heathen were beating down upon land and Gideon sent forth a call,-summon-ing the clans to battle, and placed himself at the head. When the enemy were assembled, they so outnumbered Gideon's men that he gave those who wished permission to go. Twenty-two thousand left his ranks, and only ten thousand men remained to do battle with the heathen hordes.

LIQUIDATOR FOR BANKS NAMED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) vldes for state control only for those in liquidation. Order of the court in which a bank is in re-1 ceivership is necessary for receivership banks to be transferred to, liquidation and thence to the state department. The appointment was the second 1 of the banking' department in its move to take over banks in voluntary liquidation a-s autiiorized by the new banking law. O. P. Welborn. Indianapolis, member of the banking commission, has been nam-! ed liquidator for Evansville and the, "pocket" area. Laplante will name his assistant as soon as he is familiar with his ] district, McKinley said today. They will be banking department employes. Laplante’s salary will be determined along with others on a basis of resources he must handle | anti also must be under salaries of present liquidators. Economy of liquidation is a prln-1 cipal object of the new bank law 1 and thus will be carried out in nam ing salaries, McKinley said. Exact boundaries of the combined South Bend districts have not been drawn. They are expected to include all of northwestern Indiana —; o Gigantic Structure Hemdntus estimated that 10f>,0fK) men were engaged for 20 years in building the Great pyramid.

By a test, Jehovah divided the troops so that three hundred were selected from the forces These he ordered outfitted with trumpets, empty pitchers, and torches, and divided into three companies. Jehovah then commanded Gideon to lead his men to the camp and at a given signal blow the trumpets and break the pitchers, disclosing the fire-brands. Surprised and dismayed, the heathen were routed.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? GIDEON QUESTIONS 1. Who was Gideon and when did he live? 2. What caused him to become a great character? 3. How did he respond to the call? 4. What followed this act of Gideon's? 5. What was the condition of his people at this time? 6. What preparations did he n ake to save them? 7. What proof did Jehovah tender to him? 8. What preparations were made for the battle with the Midianites? 9. How was victory won? 10. What followed this battle? ANSWERS ! 1. Gideon lived about 1.130 B.C. He was the son of Joash. of the i tribe of Manasseh. and dwelt at j Ophrah, a village west of the Jori dan. in a region which later was Samaria. 2. Gideon received a call from ] Jehovah to deliver his people and bring them back to the true God. I j He hesitated, as Moses had done. ■ but finally accepted the mission. ( 3. Gideon tore down the statue ' of Baal and its altar, at which his father worshipped. He cut down tlie wooden Asherah pillar, and i-pon the ruins, he offered a sacrifice to Jehovah. 4. The men of the city sought to slay him. but Gideon’s father argued that if»Baal were powerful. ho would punish the offender : lor his sacrilege. “Let Baal contend against him.” said the fath-, er. From thence, Gideon was known as Jerubbaal, meaning ' "Let Baal contend.” 5. For seven years, the IsraeI lites had been overpowered by 1 powerful tribes. Midianites, Am alekites, and savage tribes, assent bled against Israel in the valley l of Jezreel. They were threatened I with destruction. 6. Gideon summoned his own I tribe and those of Asher. Zebulun I 1 and Naphtali to do battle. But I he desired a sign from Jehovah. 7. Gideon laid a fleece outside | ] his tent. The first night dew fell ■ on the fleece and not on the' ground. The next night, the proj cess was reversed. So he gained trust in Jehovah. 8. Jehovah commanded Gideon give those who wished a chance Ito leave. Twenty-two thousand ' men left him, and only ten thou- j sand remained. Jehovah com-' tnanded Gideon to order the men to drink from the river. Three hundred lapped the water from their hands, the remainder from ! the river. 9. Jehovah ordered that the, I 300 men he given trumpets, and a torch, lighted but covered by a i pitcher. They were scattered , about the enemy. At a given signal, they blew their trumpets and ] dashed the pitchers on the earth. The blazing torches set the enemy to flight. 10. Gideon pursued the fleeing I forces. Residents of Ephriam rose and cut off the fugitives, i They were practically annihilated ' and their two leaders were capi tured. oChurch of Cod Glen E.
