X The Problems Of A Young Boy Last wek we learned how God made the sky, the earth and all the things of the earth, among them man. In his own image, out of *the dust of the earth, God made Adam and “bieathed into his nostrils life.” Now in order that Adam might not be alone on this great, marvelous earth, God decided to give to h ; m a matQ. the same as he did to every other living thing. So God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and, while he slept, God fashioned, of one of his ribs, Eve. And, because she came of man, she was called woman. We know that God created all liv ing, or organic, things and, that He might not be continually, forever making these things anew. He gave to each plant and animal the ability to produce itself in kind. As a part of His Divine plan to keep life in continuance on eaith. He made two kinds of organ'sms for all living things, the male and the female. Up on the male and female of each spec ies rests responsibility and privilege of keeping that particular species in existence on the earth. But to no class of things did He give the pow er to produce another class of things, the seed of a violet will never grow a daisy. Sq. to the peach tree is giv en the ability to produce peach trees and no other tree; to the cotton plant it is given to produce other cotton plants; to each animal it is given to produce other animals just like itself; and i n the hands of man was placed the means of keeping the race of men going on the earth. In our Bibles we read that from Adam and Eve came the third man, Cain. Every organic thing has had an earthly father and mother; for God created cT everything a male and a female part. We shall now look and see how these parts act in the plant world. With some plants the male and female organs grow on the same stalk; with others they are in exist ence on separate plants. A seed from an ear of corn is planted and devel- opes into a stalk of corn. On this stalk comes an ear and, at the top, a tassel. Of th s com stalk the ear i s the female part, the tassel, the male part. Only by the uniting of the two will there result a seed which will develop when planted, an other corn stalk. The male part, or the tassel, gives off a powdery sub stance called pollen, which falls upon the ear and is taken to each kernel cf the corn by the silk which is around the ear. Thus, i n a corn plant are the male and female parts made into ;v fertile seed; in th\s case the male and female parts are on the KCLEAM BLIPS When you get ready to clean house, don’t worry.

With the date palm this is ndt so The male blossoms and the female blossoms are on ^different trees, often separated by the width of a field, sometimes by as much as a mile. The pollen ctf male blossom is cairled to the female blossom by the wind or by some animal. A bee, intent only upon gett'ng honey for fetod in her home, may, all uncon sciously, carry pollen from one to another This gives us a little insight into the wonderful and beautiful process by which God has made it possible for every living thing to keep itself from dying out upon the earth. This process is fundamentally the same in all living things. Next week we shall see how God, in His infinite wisdom and goodness, permits the lower forms of animals to reproduce. From this we shall go to the repro- ditetion of man. txt Keen Enthusiasm Over Industrial Out look For Summer Is Voiced By Officials Of Chevrolet Motor Company DETROIT, Mich , April 9.—Keen enthusiasm over the industrial out- ’ook for the coming summer and fall was voiced here today by officials of the Chevrolet Motor Company upon their return from country-wide dealer meetings that brought them into direct contact with representa tives of every city, town and hamlet in the United States. Thirty-six meetings, held at as many key icenters during the past te n weeks., afforded the Chevrolet executives an excellent opportunity to see and study at first hand the various factors that determine the business future. Confidence that the abnormal prosperity enjoyed last year would continue i n accelerated measure we"l ’nto 1928 was expressed both by R. H. Grant, vice-president in charge of sales, whose official party travel ed throughout the East; and H. J. Klingler, general sales manager, who headed a second group that covered the West. Among the favorable factors noted were: Small and rei’atively few areas of depression; no disturbing pol'tical issues; widespread employ ment, with unemployment at normal; ture of the industry, is reflected prosper'ty, because of the basic na- throughout our economic system. “In the Rocky Mountain and Pa cific Coast states industry is hum ming; curtailment of over-produc tion of oil and lumber has had a healthy and stabilizing effect in the South and Northwest section, and crop prospects are everywhere excel lent. Coast exports also are grow ing. Huge building projects under way throughout this district, and the unqualified optimism of the ople back ; ng them, show the tren«, adous importance which the W<est Coast is destined to have in our national growth and wtffare. Similar healthy undertones of op timism prevail throughout the East, Mr. Grant said. He pointed out that New England made such a phenom enal recovery from the several natur al calamit ; es which befell it last Fall that dur'ng the early part of 1928 New Engand led the entire United States in percentage of Chevrolet sales over quota, with every indica- t ; on that the fundamental economic soundness that, made that showing possible would continue. Reports of unemployment in the Noith Atlanta states were discount ed by the Chevrolet sales head on the bas : s of personal observation and from reports of Secretary of Labor Davis stating that there are 42,000,- 000 people gainfully employed in the United States. Mr. Grant paid high tribute to the South for the forward programs that are bringing that section rapid'y to the front in nat : onal importance. This was recently evidenced by the Chevrolet Motor Company with the opening of regional headquarters at Dallas and Atlanta to maintain more intimate contact with the section, and with the build : ng at Atlanta of "a $2,- 500,000 assembly plant to supply cars exclusively td the Southern mar ket. Among the favorable factors not ed by Mr. Grant were huge road budding programs that will bring increased wealth to the South, Crop diversification, and opening of tex tile mills and other industries that are giving the South a manufactur ing character. In line with these enthusiastic pre dictions, the Chevrolet Motor Com pany is proceeding with the heaviest production and sales schedules it has ever undertaken.
