Christian Science Sermon of The Week These words of Jesus are from tfie Lesson-Sermon to be read this Sunday in all Christian Science churches: “If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you,” Matthew 12:28. The subject is “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and;Hypnotism, Denounced.” A passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy reads: “Jesus cast out evil and healed the sick, not only without drugs, but without hypnotism, which is the reverse of ethical and pathological Truth-power,” page 185.

facts about :j: ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. £

By JERI SEELY Remember Milford Day? The above photo was taken on Milford Day and has a September 1910 postmark. We really don’t know what they did on Milford day but it looks as if everyone came to town and everyone is having a good time. This pA>to and a number of others we will be printing in the near future are the property of Mrs. Lawrence (Ruby) Sawyer of near Our Town. We thank her for loaning them to us so that we can share them with you. After reading the fire article in the 1902 issue of the Milford Mail as furnished us last week by Connie Geiger we scanned the rest of the page to see what else was going on that year. Uncle Tom’s Cabin Co. gave a one night performance here on Monday, June 2. The play was given under a monster waterproof tent with a seating capacity for 2,500 people. Another advertisement tells of the Milford Tinshop and of S. L. Prickett being prepared to do steel roofing, tin roofing, guttering, spouting, etc., on short notice at a reasonable price. Locals told of Enoch Rhorer being dangerously ill with one side of his face paralyzed; G. M. Kleder being in Indianapolis to attend the Masonic Grand Lodge in session that week; a request for the Decoration Day committee to meet at the opera house on Thursday evening and of a supplement that was sent out with the paper and the local news it carried. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving — the official opening of the holiday season. It seems Thanksgiving used to be a day in November when everyone paused to visit with relatives and give thanks for the blessings of the past year. Christmas wasn’t even thought of because it was still a month away. Now Thanksgiving is the first of a long line of celebrations that do not end until the new year celebrations are over on January 2 and everyone settles down for the long winter that is ahead. With the approach of the holidays we would like to remind you that there is still time to remember the service boys at Christmas with a small gift or card. If you know someone who is serving in Viet Nam why not show him you’re thinking about him. Any small token or a Christmas card will brighten his holiday season.

Webster terms Thanksgiving as “a day appointed for giving thanks for divine goodness and mercies.” We can add nothing except have a happy Thanksgiving. SYRACUSE LOCALS Mrs. George Mellinger, r 4 Syracuse, has returned to her home after spending a week with friends at Richmond. Patricia and Christine LeCount of Warsaw spent Friday night and Saturday in the Emory Guy home at Syracuse.

REPORT FARM CHANGES TO ASCS OFFICE Changes in the number of acres being farmed can mean changes in farm records at the Kosciusko agricultural stabilization and conservation (ASCS) Office. And that means whenever a farmer buys, sells, rents, or otherwise acquires or disposes of farmland, he should drop by the county ASCS Office as soon as possible thereafter to set the records straight, according to Kosciusko ASC committee chairman, Scott Horn. Hom pointed out that the ASCS Office must keep accurate records on total acreage of all farms where owners or operators participate in any ASCSadministered program. Many farm operations tend to wait until it is time to sign up in the annual programs before reporting new purchases. It was pointed out that it is to the farmer’s advantage to report when

the transactions are made and not wait until sign-up time. “If we get a lot of reconstitutions to work on just at signup time, it can mean some delay in setting the allotment and base acreages for these reconstituted farms,” Hom said. “We try to move on them as fast as we can, but they do take time.” If a farm is constituted differently now than it was when the farmer began program par-ticipation—-and if he hasn’t yet reported the change—then he should drop by the county ASCS Office on his very next trip to town to make the report. “Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be made to the county office. SYRACUSE LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. Levi Masterson of near Springfield, 111., are visiting Mrs. Masterson’s sister and family Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Treat at South Bend and friends at Syracuse over the week end.
