Seeds have an outer shell or cover ing to protect them from the weath er. This is generally hard or tough. Next is a lot of food stored up to feed the young plants until the roots can grow. Lastly, inside and well protected is the little embryo or germ of future life. This is real seed. W’e take any seed as for instance the common garden bean, and place it in suitable soil in the spring of the year. Soon the sunshine warms the idly as possible. W’e trust and hope so. "There is a new type of American citizens I meet with occasionally these days on which my hope for the regeneration of the nation depends. “It is the scientific farmer, the ed ucated man who is going in for coun try life and for educational agricul ture.

This vegetable substance—sugar—enters the little germ, wakes it up and starts it to growing. The stem end starts up ward to seek the light. The root end starts downward to seek dark ness, water and food. These never make a mistake and start the wrong way. They know what is right and they dn it. Here we see indications of design in the plant kingdom. The two lobes of the seed are brought up through the earth and make more or lean perfect leaves, while they give their stpre of food * to the stem which pushes them up.

Bil ie Evans ’.vis the banjo player, and was - > intoxicated that h • saivkhf fell or the door, and was pi'ked up by .several «»f the boys and taken out < <\ *.he | lazza. His uncle, Edward Evans, went out to intercede for Bi'Jje, as he wished him to play the banjo **me more. The following ri an account of the shooting as P M Dc Riddick Ack erman. physician, who attended the wounded man, as a lying statement by Mr Evans. ‘Cleveland Hiers and Willie Zeigler were taking Billie Evans out of the room, and I went out to get them to turn him lose’. ! When I got out on the piazza I ask ed them to turn Billie loose so that he could come back and play the banjo. Zeigler turned Evans lose and shot me. T then drew my raz or to defend myself and Zeigler shot me again. I did not know what happened after that.’ The Answer it Honestly Are the Statements of Citizens Not More Reliable Than Those of Utter Strangers? This i* » vital question.
