C. 650 (Bv Wm. Southern, Jn) This story I heard recited from a pulpit. A great Indian king was not satisfied with things as they were in his country made a trip to England. His purpose was to find out what made joreat above all other na- own included.

He was received fey Queen Victoria, and paid high honors and deep respect. He told her what he was seeking and she gave him all assistance, he desired and opened to him the ship yards and the great government buildings and gave him every facility to prosecute his search. He went through the ship yards first and saw the great vessels of peace and war, the army of men working and manning the ships, but he cided that ships and naval supremacy did not make England great because any nation might have, and many did have, great ships and great men. He visited the Parliament and listened to the men who spoke, the men who ruled England, the men who developed and' put in force the laws of the realm. He decided that he still had not found his answer for he had great men in his own kingdom and these men in Parliament yere just men and human as were his own subjects.

The- Indian king traveled over the country; he saw the farmers and the farms but they were no different from farms in other countries. He visited great buildings and went through Westminster Abbey and saw the inscriptions memorial of the lives of great men. But Ire found" nowhere that which gave him a satisfactory answer to his problem. It came time for him to return to his country and he was troubled. Queen Victoria told him she would give him the answer to his problem when he boarded the ship for home and when she told him farewell she handed him a beautifully wrapped package whichmight contain wealth of the world, as she said it did.

She told him that when he was in his cabin on the ship and a day on his way home to open the package and there he would find the answer to his question, what makes England great. The king -was impatient and when the time came eagerly opened the packet. Inside the rich wrappings tre a beautiful and complete copy of the English Bible. A New Deal was declared in of Judah about the year 660 B. C.

during the reign of. King Josiah. The story of this New Deal is not only a fascinating story but it rouses in the reader many speculations and cries out for application in the present day. Judah was in a bad plight. The' northern kingdom had been destroyed.

Judah had had bad luck with her kings and all were bad with just a exceptions. Manasseh was succeeded by Amon and both were corrupt, tyrannical and lawless. The religious worship had'been neglected and even on the roof of the great temple had been erected an' altar for sun worship. There was some material pros- Jeremiah was prophesying the end of the kingdom if the laws of God not obeyed. laws of God, what were they? Nobody for two whole generations had ever seen the Book of the Law.

Bats were roosting in the temple, the doors hung by one hinge. The marble floors Fat Man Reduces 53 Boy! Don't be stubborn, you big fat men off your fat before your fat throws you into the discard. Do as S. A. Lanier of Saw- this letter; "I have used two reducing belts to no benefit, but since using Kruschen Salts each morning in my coffee I have taken off 7 Ibs.

Take one teaspoonful of 'Kvusoheu Salts.in a glass of hot eye'ry down on- fatty meats, potatoes and you know the safe way to lose unsightly fat, For a trifling sum you can get bottle of Kruschen Salts that lasts at Foster Evans Dcug-Qo. or drugstore lathe and were covered with refuse and dirt and blood of heathen sacrifice.

When Amon died his eon Josiah was but eight years of age. But he had a good mother and his closest companions were a priest, Hilklah, and a scribe, Shaphan. These men taught the young king what they remembered of the law and of the teachings of the Hebrew God. Thus Josiah was what we call a Sunday school boy. While the ministers ruled in his name Josiah studied and absorbed and all of his impulses were right.

He did not inherit these things from his father but his mother must have been a fine strong woman, her name was Jedidah. I wish that all the boys of this nation could be Sunday school boys. I have never yet heard of a single man who had a Sunday school training -who did not give that training credit for the building of his. character. The Sunday schools of this nation have done great things for the men who become strong in the nation.

When Josiah was eighteen, he visited the temple one day and was heartbroken at the condition in which he found it. He did something about it. He raised the money, let the contracts, removed the rubbish, cleaned the house, tore down the sun altars and restored the beauty of the building and the worship. Under a lot of rubbish a workman discovered a heavy roll of manuscript. He took it to the Priest Hilkiah who could not read what was written and called in the scribe, Shaphan.

It was the Book of the Law; it was that part of the Bible we know as Deuteronomy. The scribe read to the. king the laws which had been given the nation and the king was horrified. He rent his garments when he learned how far the nation had departed from God's law. Again he did something about it.

He called a conference of the great men of the nation. He stood before and had the Book of the Law read in their presence and then solemnly he raised his hand and made a covenant with God that he, tha king, would abide by and live by and respect always the laws given by God. He culled upon the people to make a like covenant and with one voice they did so. They agreed to abide by the great laws of God. In this country we have heard a lot about a New Deal.

It has had to do with the social welfare of the nation, the material welfare of the people, the standard of living, the making of money, the gold standard and the commodity dollar. But there were some things which our New Deal did not touch. A lot of attention has been given to the law of man, and a lot of new laws have been made, but the laws of God, where are they in the New Deal? Ifwe could give every family and home an income, banish poverty, take the wealth from the rich, we would still be like ancient Jerusalem with the altars to the sun on the roof and the temple filled with rubbish, unless at the same time we should develop along with material wealth and prosperity and luxury, a spirituaal certainty and well be- ins among our people.

U. DEPARTMENT Great Men's Opinions Alcohol A. "There is never a body of a man how strong and stout so- ever, if it be troubled and inflamed, but will take more harm and offense by wines being poured into it." A. "Drunkenness is a flattering deyil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, committeth not a sfngle sin, but becomes the center and slave of all manner of sin." "We were fools enough to believe that by legalizing the sale of liquor the -bootlegger would be put out of business and law violations lessened. We were promised that the old time saloon would not be allowed to return.

It has but would to God that we din hnvo old- time saloon instead of what we now have. The saloons sold liquors only and no one entered unless he went to 'buy liquor. Now the damnable stuff is peddled on every corner in every kind of business house and the temptations' thrown before our boys and girls are multiplied ten-fold. Of course no thinking person can believe that a decent American public is going to put up with such bullishness forever, but we are going to pay a price before we aro rid of the evil, and that price will be the everlasting ruin of millions of our boys and girls, all because we were fools fools enough to believe we could dress one of the greatest evils that ever cursed mankind in a garb of respectability and make it harmless." Editorial in one of our papers. "Formerly, no decent respectable people wanted their sons to be bartenders or their daughters to be barmaids.

Today some of our finest young people in college and church are having to earn their living by waiting on tables in restaurants, an honorable occupation. But now, whether they will or not, they are compelled to serve as bartenders or barmaids or lose their jobs in a world which offers few if any other jobs. Moreover, there is a heavily financed campaign of "education" going on by news- papej, radio and mak- iug what formerly was never regarded as a respectable business 1 seem not only highly respectable but most attractive. "Something to talk about" is the billboard caption for a picture of two very attractive young misses sitting over their glasses of beer. Not since the war propaganda has there been such a heavily financed, massed attack on ears, eyes and minds of all the people." Prize Rural Writer Mrs.

Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey SHE comes from Oasis, a tiny village of 27 inhabitants, and has just been awarded first prize as the best country newspaper correspondent in the country. The prize is awarded annually by The Country Home, a national farm magazine. She was considered the best of 1581 contestants for the award. i BEST CORRESPONDENT ENTERTAINED IN WASHINGTON (By The Associated Press) Washington, July a week's whirl in New York and Washington, "a spoiled old grandmother" who had never tieen on a Pullman before last week, last night started happily home for her Ozark hills. "The old man" and his' meals have been worrying Mrs.

Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey while she's been gone from Oasis, to enjoy the acclaim that fell to her when she won the title of "best country newspaper correspondent in the U. awarded by a magaazine. She has never been away so long before, and home until this month was a town of 27 people. The transition to a town of tf million taught Mrs. Mahnkey a great many things about what people as visiting swank night very little about the people themselves.

She already knew people. "Say, I'm tickled to death 'cause I'm going home," Mrs. Mahnkey. plump and gentle, said Need for Education "The need for some concerted and well financed program of education in an opposite direction is appallingly apparent. There has been evident inertia and even paralysis on the part of the churches, not only during the prohibition era but since.

Perhaps the well-financed propaganda will defeat itself and produce a profound and general reaction, tmt we can hardly count on such a result, knowing, as we do, the nature of alcohol. "There is need for a campaign of scientific temperance teaching I as she gathered up the presents she had collected for "the old man" and the grandchildren. Four of the five grandchildren are going- to receive presents. The fifth, she explained, is "too little." One of the biggest surprises of her whole, trip, Mrs. Mahnkey thought, was that "they don't know what a pawpaw is" in New York.

"Don't know what a pawpaw is!" exclaimed Rep. Dewey Short, in church and school and home. The younger generation needs to know, not from experience and observation as the older generation knew it, but from the laboratories of investigation and experiment. This same generation needs to know the character of the methods of the liquor traffic which was always the second important factor in the problem of liquor control. Its character has' not been changed, except that it has become far more brazen and bold under the cloak of governmental approval than it ever dared be in the old days.

In the meantime we have in the old letters of Paul an eternally valid principle of Christian conduct. Self-denial on behalf of others it not for one's own sake. We are our brothers' keeper. Liberty under law Is the only true liberty. There can be no other way in a highly organized human society.

True liberty is "the fullest opportunity for man to be and do the very best possible for It is a far cry to the attainment of such liberty, but it is a goal worth seeking for ourselves and for our brothers." republican, Misouri. "Why, if we didn't know what pawpaws, persimmons and 'possums were we'd starve to death in the Missouri Ozarks." Mrs. Mahnkey, a self-styled "ridge runner," was a luncheon guest of Rep. Short, himself a self-styjed "hillbilly." They explained the difference between a ridge runner and a hillbilly. "Now," explained Mrs.

Mahnkey, "it would be all right for me to call Dewey a hillbilly statesman and all right for him to call me a hillbilly poet. But we don't like to call us POIROT FARM MEET AUG. 20 The annual neld demonstration at Poirot farm in Lawrence county will be resumed this year after suspension In 1934 because of the drouth. The date has been set for Aug. 20, according to announcement by John Woodward, Lawrence county agent.

Erosion control projects have been added to the program at the Poirot place. Crop demonstra- tipns include Korean lespedeza, fertilizer tests, reports on results with different barley varieties, pasture and other crops. hillbillies if they say it a certain way." "That's right," agreed the "hillbilly statesman." But there is a difference, too. A hillbilly may live in the hills or in the valley below, but a ridge runner always lives in the hills "where there is lots of room, Mrs. Mahnkey said.

What did she and Mayor Piorella La Guardia of New York talk about when she visited him? "I told him," Mrs. Mahnkey said, "that my weakness is writ- Ing, and he said, 'well my weakness is talking too much, I'm, afraid'." Except that one of them "misquoted" her, Mrs. Mahnkey found "city reporters The misquotation she related: "I said 'I and was quoted as saying 'I No Ozarker would say 'I guess'." The expressions "precious," "marvelous," and "perfectly gorgeous," intrigued Mrs. Mahnkey. "I just say a I want something or someone is nice," she explained.

During her 'brief stay in Washington Mrs. Mahnkey visited the library of congress, the senate, the department of agriculture, Mt. Vernon and Arlington cemetery. She wanted to read the declaration of independence, but didn't have time, so she looked at the signatures. Mrs.

Mahnkey told what her husband, Charles Preston Mahnkey, "the old when ehe was awarded the title of the "best county correspondent in the U. As simply as she would report a tidbit of news for the Taney County Republican at Fov- sythe, it was "I wasn't surprised. I knew she'd get it." Aa she headed for the Ozark hills Mrs. Mahnkey, who has writtenc little pieces about her neighbors and friends for 44 years, had only one regret. She'd like to ride in an airplan, I promised the folks I wouldn't do that." Before starting for the east, Mrs.

Mahnkey arranged for their son and State Representative and Mrs. Douglas Mahnkey, to "look after the old man." But she still worried and was happy 'cause she was going liome. "There's HO place like the Ozarks," she averred. "But I'll be a spoiled old grandmother for a while." He made no effort to raise a garden of any kind. He and his family live from hand to mouth.

They always have. The spare time. that he has he spends doing nothing. How much better it would be for this man- if he would make the same effort to help 'himself. How much better it would be for his own self respect" and how much better and his family could live.

WHAT WE THINK (By Prank Dixon) That reminds me. The fact that women smoke to the extent that they do is due to the cigarette advertisement writers. It is a tribute or testimony to the power of advertising suggestion. When the publicity began to influence women to smoke cigarets the first advertisers merely showed a package of cigarets in the same picture with an attractive young woman. Later on the boy friend came into the picture smoking the advertised brand.

The next step showed the young lady lighting the boy friend's cig- aret. As time went on the attractive young lady finally got the package in her hand and a little later got one In her mouth. The change was most gradual. The advertisement writers sought to keep just a little ahead of the reading public and in most instances were successful. In the later advertisements the young woman is an accomplished smoker aand the same skillful advertisement writer has succeeded in carrying the impression and the conviction to the young women of the land that smoking is smart.

Once they get that idea across their work is over except they must still convince the young that to be especially smart one must smoke only the smart cig- arets. I have a neighbor who is regularly employed at a job that requires ten hours a day of hta time. He has quite a family and the salary he receives will hardly cover all the needs. To supplement his salary he raised this year a large garden. To care for it properly requires most of the letsttre time my neighbor has.

He gets up early in the morning and works until dark. Already his wife has put up by the cold pack method large quantities of peas, beans, beets, corn and tomatoes for the winter. He tells me he expects to supply most of his table wants the coming winter from the cellar. I cannot 'help but contrast him with another of my neighbors who is on relief. My observations is that the average small town does a poor lob of supporting its home industries.

In my town we have a 'high class home bakery equipped with the latest machinery and owned by a progressive and aggressive ycung baker, yet there is three times as much out of town bread sold in my town as there is of the' local product. think of this anytime some one gets up in the town meeting and proposes that the town go out after other industries. No town is justified in going out after more industries until It learns to support those it does have. BIRTHDAY PARTY. An enjoyable time was had at THREB i MIDWAY A.
