THE POWER
I am a firm believer in anything
my reasoning power tells me is abso
lute truth. Once my belief is estab
lished, my faith lays hold in earnest.
All bodies set in motion by outside,
influence, and left to themselves, tend
to become still—in other words, they
come to rest. If I drop a pebble in
a still pond, ripples start very quick
ly. When the impact of the pebble is
gone, the little waves gradually be
come placid again. That’s because
the force is not continuous.
The great planets floating in space
are in constant motion. Some wonder
ful power must have set them to work.
And, unless that power is perpetual,
the large bodies would in time cease to
move.
Our earth is rolling now— a thous
and miles per hour—swifter than the
most powerful airplane! It is also
rolling around the sun in an almost
incomprehensible orbit, every 365
days. Some'Stupendous power set the
pace. It IS stilL causing the big
sphere to move ^actly on time, and
with the same uniting precision. The
power is at work! right now, as it was
“in the beginning.”
I don’t need/any book to tell me
that this pow^jr is still at work.'
Eclipses can be figrured thousands of
years ahead, far more accurately than
any man-made chronometer can regis
ter. The past proves this.
Call the power Cod', or any other
name—I know there is supreme pow
er. Since gn*eat good comes from the
exercise of this power that makes
universal life possible, I know it is
a good power, for which “God” is by
all earthly reason the best name.
Theorists and doubters may tell me
with all emphasis that there is no
God; I know better. And, I am willing
to put my faith, and the lives of those
I hold most dear. Men may believe as
they please—I do the same.-
Feathers Beaten Off By Hail, Hen
Is Ashamed And Runs Under House
Woodruff, Aug.” 31.—While the to
tal loss to the farmers in this com
munity from the destructive hail and
rain storm Thursday afternoon will
probably never be known, reports con
tinue to come into Woodruff of whole
farms being wiped out and much dam
age to property and^truck gardens.
Among the farmers who suffered
heavy losses were J. W. Swink, who
had a 200 cotton acreage badly dam
aged with a probable loss of 75 bales;
Kelley Brothers, who suffered a two-
third’s loss on 80 acres of cotton with
a proportionate loss of corn; Clyde
Cox, $5,000; G. H. Todd, $3,000; G. C.
Young, $2,000; S. V. Jones on the H.
B. Crow farm, $1,000; George Flem
ing, $1,000; Floyd Lanford, $1,000,
and a complete loss to the following
farmers: Frank Theo, Charlie Hill,
Joe Heaton, Andy Cooper and G.‘C.
Godfrey.
Numbers of farms off the road have
not been reported.
G. H. Todd and G. 0. Godfrey state
that they had quite a number of chick
ens killed during the storm. Mr. Todd
had eight fryers killed and a number
of his hens crippled while Mr. God
frey lost 25 chickens with several
blinded by having their eyes knocked
out by the hail.
At one home in Woodruff a hen
was stripped of her feathers, leaving
her as clean as if she had been dressed
for the pot. Unlike some of the young
women of today she did not consider
ner neck of feathers sufficient cloth
ing for the street and eagerly sought
shelter under a low corner of the
house where she was safe from pry
ing eyes.
It is an evil wind that blows nobody
good. Many of the housewives stored
a week’s supply of ice in their re
frigerators while one enterprising
young matron served ice cream Satur
day at dinner which was made from
the hail stones that remained banked
up in her backyard, three days after
the storm. Small mounds of the stones
can still be found in sheltered places.
Housewives are busy today canning
and preserving the apples and pears
that were knocked from the fruit
trees.

New York, Sept. 1.—A mechanical
genius whom all motors recognize as
their master is the new portrait of
Col. Charles A. Lindberrgh.
It is a picture that has shaped itself
gradually to portray the famous avi
ator as one entitled to recognition for
extraordinary versatility.
A world that read with avidity all
that was written of the young Amer
ican aviator when he rode into their
hearts through the clouds of . the At
lantic is gaining a new appreciation
of his accomplishments.
Not only in the air, where his ex
ploits first turned the attention of the
world to his skill, but on land or sea,
the flying colonel is at home.-Motor
cycle and automobile, airplane and
motorboat, find their master in the
tall slim figure that is known the
world over.
The evolution by which Lindbergh
became an all around motorist was
completed when he learned the intri
cacies of manning alone a launch. It
was upon the Manette, the sleek craft
upon which he sucpessfully sought to
escape the curious ?'eyes of the world
for his honeymoon with the former
Anne Morrow, that Lindbergh essayed
his role as a sea pilot.
His motoring education began in
tender years when he tinkered with
bicycles and motorcycles in Little
Falls, Minn. His means of transporta
tion during his brief career as a uni
versity student at Madison, Wis., was
astride a “one lunger” motorcycle
which legend has it he inveigled to do
50 to 60 miles an hour while the na-
Mves shook their heads.
His uncanny knowledge of the intri
cate details of the power house of the
vehicles he drives has inspired a self-
confidence that is responsible, in a
large degree, ,for his daring.
The most recent example of his
sang froid in dangerous pursuits was
given by the flying colonel on the De
troit automobile proving ground. Step
ping into a strange automobile, he
whirled around the track at the dizzy
speed of 112 miles an hour. Not fast
for an aviator but sufficient to quali-
! fy him to join the daredevils of the
I race track.
' The truth is that Lindbergh has a
faculty of doing well whatever he
tackles; whether at work or play he
conquers the job at hand.
There Lindbergh draped horseshoes
over pegs with a consistency that dis
couraged all contestants and in the
miniature engineering projects direct
ed by President Hoover, the executive
found his youthful guest had a strong

There is a “Death Chamber” in the
FLY-TOX factory. This chamber is
about the room size. It is used to test
the quality of FLY-TOX as a spray
to kill flies, mosquitoes, .bedbugs,
roaches, etc. During a test a large
number of young, healthy insects are
placed inside the cabinet. These in
sects are raised in incubators for test
ing purposes. WTiile the insects are
flying and crawling around in the
“Chamber of Death,” FLY-TOX is
sprayed inside. Less than a teaspoon
ful is used. Instantly there is a change.
W'^ithin five minutes not a buzz is
heard. All insects are deal. To make
sure they are really dead, the insets
are carefully removed from the
“Chamber of Death” and placed in in
cubators in an effort to revive them.
If a wing flutters, the FLY-TOX test
ed never leaves the factory. This test
is your guarantee of FLY-TOX quali
ty. It does what you wan: It to do—
kill insects in and about your home.
Yet,, FLY’-TOX is positively harmless
to people. FLY-TOX wa- developed at
Mellon Institute of In lustrial Re
search by Rex Research Fellowship. It
will not Stain. Has a delightful per
fume-like fragrance. Tl'.ere is only one
FLY-TOX—insist upon the genuine in
bottles with blue labels.—Adv.
