He left his lunch of barley bread and native cheese made of sheep’s milk In a cave near the town of Itoquefort, In south eastern France, to keep It cool until noontime. A sudden storm arose which forced him to forget about his lunch. Two weeks later he passed that way again, and thought about his aban doned food. He found the bread worthless, and the cheese covered with a curious culture mold. His curiosity and hunger being great, he nibbled a bit, and found the cheese had a flavor surpassing any food he had ever eaten. —Chicago Evening Post. 18-Year-Old Girl Makes Highest Cotton Record More Than 3 Bales of Lint Producod From One Acre in Arkansas 4-H Club Contest Three Idioms of Latin Tongue Long Employed Ecclesiastical I.atln differs from classical Latin In various ways, these changes being due principally to the origin and derivation of ecclesiastical Latin. Originally the Homans spoke the old tongue of I^itin known as the prises latinltas. In the Third century B.

The necessary con tact between the two Hasses produced still a third.

The honor of setting the new record goes, so far as Is known, to Blanche Beall. 18-year-old girl of Wilson, Ar kansas. Her actual production was 1.579 pounds of lint cotton from one acre. Profit From Acre $342 Enrolled In the state wide 4-H Clab Contest, Blanche kept a careful record of her project, putting down every item of expense that entered Into the making of the crop. Her figures, which have been checked by the con- teet officials, show that she produced a pound of lint at the remarkably low coat of I f cents.

For years experiment station workers have known that the cotton plant, in order to fruit heavily, needed an abun dant supply of nitrate nitrogen. It has been found that this need Is greatest about 25 or 40 days after planting, or not later than the appearance of the first blooms. In 1928 and 1929, 1.007 cotton farm ers conducted side-dressing demon strations for the purpose of measuring .the additional cotton made through this method of fertilizing.

At the second culti vation after chopping, a part of each field was side-dressed with 150 to 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre. Thescv farmers kept a careful record of- tlfe two parts of the field to determine the additional ylcfid made from the side-dressing. The average increase from the 1,007 dem onstrations was 416 pounds seed cot ton per acre, worth at current prices approximately $29.12. From these records it is clear that side-dressing cotton is one 4f the best money-making practices on the farm. Pioneer Fertilizer Used for 100 Year* Four generations of American farm ers have used commercial fertilizers to improve their crop production.

The Prophetic View of the Course of Time from Christ's Crucifixion to Hie Second Coming. (24:1-51). The order of events in this time are In general as follows: 1. The moral condition of the world during Christ’s absence, (vv. 1-14). This is the period covered by the parables of chapter 13. 2. The appearance of the Anti christ (w. 15-26). 3. The great advent (vv. 27-31). In connection with this advent there will be mighty convulsions of nature, the mourning of the tribes of the earth, and Hie gathering of the elect. 4. Warnings to God’s people In view of the great advent (vv. 32-51). The time of this advent is unknown and on the part of many unexpected. ft. Instruction to believers in view of the unexpectedness of Christ’s coming (25:1-30). II. Behavior of Believer* In View of the Coming of the Lord (25:1-13). The teaching In the parable of the ten virgins has continuous application In the present time (I These. 16:18; Titua 2:11-13). 1. The equipment of the vlrglnc (vv. 1-5). (1) The foolish virgins took lamps, hut no oil with them (v, 3). I .amp* signify Christian profession (Mutt. 3:16) and oil the Holy Spirit (Zecii. 14). Having lanqis hut no oil shows that they were professors of religion, without possessing Its resllty. The Chiittlan life Is sustained by the Holy Spirit. At soon as a man la regen erated. the Holy Bplrtt takes up Hla abode with him. The Spirit's In dwelling therefore. Is an ndvnnce work upon regeneration. The proof that one la a child of Go«| la that he has the Holy Spirit dwelling within him. (Korn 8 4*). The foolish virgins were professors, hut not potteseorw (2). The wise virgins possessed both lamps and oil (v. 4). They hacked their profession with a real life of righteousness Both the wise and the foolish virgins slumbered and slept. This slufws that a« the present age lengthens, the real and the professing church will cease looking for the com lag of the Ivord. It la unspeakably sad that to many, even of Cod’# chosen— the wise virgins—should give up the expectancy'of the return of the I.ord. 2. The coming of the brhlegruoni (vv. 6 12). (I) The midnight cry (v. 6). In the midst of the night when all the virgin# were asleep the cry was hettrd, "Behold the bridegroom cometh." Who knows hut that the time of this cry Is now Hose upon us? (2) Activity of the virgins (v. 7). They all arose and trimmed their lumps. There will be great activity when the Lord come* on the |»art of both believer# and those who only make a profession. It will he n day when the reality nf one's faith will he tested. (3) The foolish virgins* request of the wise to share their oil (w. S, li). The revelation of Christ will make manifest the gen uineness of our faith and expose the folly of mere profession. When the Lord comes. It will be too late to mend one’s ways. (4) The wise en ter to the marriage (v. 10). While the foolish were seeking to amend their ways—trying to buy oil—the bride groom came, and those who were ready were admitted to the marriage. (5) The pitiful petition of the foolish virgins (v. 11). They begged the Lord to open the door. (6). The awful Judgment (v. 12). The Lord declared, ‘T know you not.” 3. The solemn obligation (v. 13). "Watch, for ye know not the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Two solemn facts should engage the attantion of every one. (1) Entering with Christ to the mar riage depends upon faithfulness to the end. If oil and light be wanting when Christ comes, no admittance will be granted to the heavenly banquet. (2) Borrow’ed religion will not avail at that day. Despite the value of godly companions and associates, they can render no service in the day of Jesus Christ. Personal contact with the Lord Jesus through faith In His blood Is the absolute essential. There are so many pies from widch to choose that It Is a simple matter, indeed, to have a great 'variety.
