Yes, But it Doesn't Mean Anything Clemson College.-Is it true that the boll weevil has been placed be tween two blocks of ice and was alive after all the ice had melted? This is a question asked 'frequently. of Prof. A. F. Conradi, entonmologist, and au thority on boll weevil matters. Prof. Conradi's answer to a recent inquirer should be of interest and information to all, as it throws real light on the matter. The Answer That is very likely true. Another fad is to bore a hole in a block of ice in which a boll weevil is then herm etically sealed for twenty-four hours. Why should the experimenter be sur prised that the beetle is still alive? Melting ice has a temperature of ap proximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and a boll weevil sealed within or be tween ice experiences no radiation or evaporation and is therefore not in the least affected by weather chan ges. 1 Partridges, rabbits and other small gamo frequently seek shelter under the snow in cold winter wveath er. Ice floes and snow drifts are< not infrequently resorted to by man in the North for temporary shelterI in cold stormy wveather, We have successfully kept weevilsI and other insects in brine chambers and ice boxes under dry atmospheric conditions, but. we have ,never sue- I ceeded in keeping themi for prolong-I edl periodls in ice boxes unprotected against moisture. The weevil, like people, responds much more easily to radical changes in cool weather than to uniform conditions that ob tain in an ice box.1 No Practical Bearing on Weev'll Control Putting the weevil in a block of ice is more than twenty years old. It wvas dlone in Texas when the weevil first arrived, and as the weevil mi gratedl eastward, this practice con tinued to be one of the fads in newly infested territory year after year. The test has no pratical value wvhat ever, as there is no semblance to the natural, changeable conditions that obtain in the open. AUDITOR AT SIX MILE Auditor Townes will be at Six Mile next Monday from 10 to 2 o'clock for the purpose of taking tax returnes.

GOVERNED Protesting a few days ago against the growth of bureaucracy and the extension of Federal authority over the lives of Ameican citizens, Sen ator Stanley of Kentuckey said: "Every business man finds an in spector at his elbow, a Federal 'sleuth at his heels. Houses are searched, homes outraged and the public high ways dappled in the blood of unof fending citizens by a multitude of agents and inspectors ignorant of and indifferent to the law of the land in. the rights of citizens." Lest everybody think -that Senator Stanley, who is a Democrat, has al lowed his Jeffersonian theories of gov erment to warp his judgment it is worth while to turn to the deliberately eocpressed opinions of Dr. Nicholas Butler, who is not only a Republiean, but who .is indentified with the con servative wing of his party. In a report to the trustees of Co lumbia University expressing his ob jections to the proposed Federal bu reau for the supervision of education. Dr. Butler used language no less ve hement than that employed by the Senator from Kentucky. "In the United States we are, in flat defiance of all our proclamied principles, building a series of bu reaucracies that will put to shame the best efforts of the government of the Czar of all the Russias when in the heyday of its glory. We are sur rounded by agents, special agents, in spectors and spies, and the people are called upon to support through their taxes, in harmful and un-American activities whole armies of individuals who should be engaged in productive industry." Senator Stanley had described in TO THE READERS OF THE SEN. TINEL. In Mr. C. E. Robinson's "Reply tc Mr. Nations" article about the Sab bath, he makes a statement that mnany people will not see the depth and im portance of. The salvation of seule depends on a proper understanding and acceptance of it. The point referred to, is- "The Sabbath, or seventh day represented the finished creation of God." In other words, it memorialized the fact that God created the world in six lays, and rested on the seventh. A memorial is given to enable peo ple to remember, or keep in mind the vent or fact, that it represents. A memorial always points back to nething in the past, as this; seventh lay Sabbath, (God's rest day) directs ;he mind, back to the creation. . There were several ceremonial sab >aths that pointed forward to Christ, vhich passed away at the cross. A memorial should continue as long is the event or object to which it oints, exists. So long as heaven and ~arth stands, God's memorial will ast; so in this instance the command vas given to "remember the Sabbath lay, to keep it holy". Why remember ? ecause "in six days the Lord made 1eaven and earth, the sea, and all hat in them is, wherefore the Lord )lessed the Sabbath dlay and hallowed If this memorial, this command had >cen faithfully observed, constantly sept through faith, by everybody, here would be no one saying that it 'equired millions of years to form this !arth; there would be no'one teaching hat man evolved from protoplasm, md that our ancesters wvere apes and ntonikeys; there could not be an idlola.. er in the world. Why ? because God ;ays in Ezekiel 20:20, "Hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign >ctween me~ and you, that ye may know that I-am the L~ordl your God." Thus we see, according to God's own1 word, that if we keep His Sabhath His rest clay, we shall knowv the true God. In John, 17:3, Jesus teaches us that to know God, is "life etornal." So long as we remember God's Sab bath clay, and keep it by faith, we keep) Him in mind, not only as the Creator of the heaven and the earth, but as the one. who create us " new et-ea tures in Chiri st Jesus." As He rested on, and sanctified, and hallowed the seventh clay, so, when we keep the 'seventh clay as God di rects, we will not, and cannot fail to he partakers of that sanctification and rest, which God the Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ, placed in it for us.. If all the World should annonce TO DEATH this fashion ,the tendency of the 15, 000 bills already introduced in con. gress: "Nobody escapes. Ev arything ir the moral, industrial and commecial world is to be owned, operated, su. pervised or censored, from the birth of a baby to the burial of a corpse, and the worst is not yet." The passion for bureaucracy ail government regulations which began under Roosevelt has now lost all sense of restraint, Outside of Bolshevist Russia the American people are the most government ridden people in the world, and every session of Congress, every session of a State Legislature, marks an extension of the system. Among the indictments against George III in' the Declaration of In dependence was this: "He has erect ed a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to ha rass our people and -at out their substance." If George III could see the armies of officers that the Ameri can people, under their own govern ment, have allowed to be imposed up on them, to haress them and eat out their substance, he would be aston ished at his own moderation. What the father refised to endure the sons submit to as meekly as a flock of sheep. The American people are in process of being governed to death as well as taxed to death, in order to support the armies of office-holders who have undertaken to regulate them from the cradle to the grave. What makes a bad matter immeasurably worse, they seem to have lost all their capacity for resistance to the ever-widening rule of bureaucracy.-New Yorl World. that Webster's Dictionary was an in spired book, it would not make it so. All the world backed by all the powers of darkness, may proclaim the Bible an uninspired book, but it wil not change the fact that it is inspired If all the world should say thai - the first day of the week was tht "Lords day", would that make it so? "Prove all things." 1 Thess. 5:21. "To the law and to the testimony:' Isa. 8:20. Seeker.

IN MEMORIAM In mnemory of little Edna Hiles, who departed this life October 29, 1921, and~ wenit to live with Jesus and all loved ones who had gone before.
