Hut Phil had acquired strange ideas which were destined to cause his parents considerable anxiety, very nearly drive Lesbia Graves, who loved him, into marrying another man, and put Phil himself in some rather diffi cult situations for a youngster spoiled from birth. “I want one year of absolute free dom,” lie announced, “before settling down. I want to see the world,” would infringe their trade marks or otherwise engage in unfair com petition through illegal use of their products. Only a short time ago a decision was won against Frederick S. Strohmeier, who had marketed a cough drop claimed to bfe “medicated with Vicks VapoRub.” In that case, as in this, it was shown to the court that not only was the plaintiff be ing damaged by unfair practice, but the buying public was being deceived and defrauded through misstatement and substitution of products. X - Calves less than six months of age can not make the best use of pasture and if put on it should be given, in addition, a full feed of skim milk or milk substitute and enough grain to keep them grow- j crops for this purpose. Rye and vetch are especially good as winter cover crops to bind the soil and to add organic matter. A Great Discovery When Pasteur discovered, in 1352, that the infection ef wounds was caused by malignant^ bacteria, ho per formed a service of inestimable value to mankind. Since then medical science Las been producing better and better antiseptics, to kill these germs that may e*tcr the smallest cut and give us diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis and lockjaw. Now, all you have to do to be sure that these dreadful germs will not infect a wound, is to wash that wound, however small, thoroughly with Liquid Borozone, the modem antisep tic.

Department of Agri culture is often asked as to the advisability of nipping or pruning muskmelon vines to increase the set of fruit or to hasten develop ment. There is no advantage in pinching or heading back musk melon vines, says the department. Reducing the number of melons on a vine will increase the size of the fruit, but this practice is not ad visable when the melons are to be shipped, as most varieties produce fruit large enough, and sometimes too large for a standard pack. .

There is no trouble in getting livestock to eat sweet clover if they are turned on it before the growth is big and tough. FORD BATTERIES $7.95 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE 622 BROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA, GA. Farmers are warned by the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry against investing their money and placing their faith in hog-cholera medicines. Anti-hog-cholera ser um is the only thing known that jis a reliable preventive. “Very well, Phil,” said his father. “I will give you as a stake a sura of money with just one stipulation. If It is gone before the end of the year, do not tail on me for more. At the end of the year, I shall expect, of course, that you will promptly get in to harness.” Philip accepted his father’s offer exactly as he had accepted all other things in his carefree young life, with a casual, graceful, “Thanks, dad.” Later, his father tried to comfort Phil’s mother. “I did it on purpose to set a limit to the boy’s wander ings. At least, he woq’t try to stage any such stunt as a voyage around the world ” How could his father foresee that his son, who had had no training in the actual spending of a comparative ly large, sum of money, would run through what he had given him in six months’ time? And, furthermore, that he would actually abide by his father’s' condition through every possible vicissitude? Phil was out in Vancouver when he went broke. He had seen it com ing and had looked around for a job with little success. Ho worked a few days for a land development company that went bankrupt. He drove a truck until the regular driver returned to the job. And then he fell l n with the Stone Brothers* Greatest Carnival on Earth which w r as working its way east and needed extra hands. Now it happened that one of its most popular side show’s—the one where the superlatively beautiful girl is bound to a post and made the vic tim of a knife-throwing maniac—re quired a piano player as part of its patter and w r hen the man who had been holding down the job deserted at one of the Dakota hamlets, Phil was promoted to the vacancy. In his brief letters home Phil men tioned neither his need nor his pres ent occupation. He made no inquiries for Lesbia who was beginning to w’on- der if, after all, she had not better marry Heury Butler, who w’as making love to her every evening, than to wait patiently for a youpg man who had never during their acquaintance made love to her at all. Philip had planned to leave the carnival before it arrived in New’ Eng land. He bad saved enough money to s»ee him through the rest of the way home and the nightly knife-throwing stunt was boring him to tears. It seemed, however, that the youth who was to take his place could not join up until the show reached Springfield and Phil, who had taken a liking to the rough but not unkindly manager, agreed to stay on untlt then. He was pounding away at the piano keys in a small town in .vestern Massachusetts when a casual glance toward the audience sent his heart into his throat. Over the heads of the crowd imme diately below him ne looked straight into the eyes of Lesbia Graves who was sitting beside Henry Butler in Henry’s roadster. What w\ns Lesbia doing in that part of the country with Henry unless they were married, per haps on their honeymoon? , The next day Philip sauntered as casually Into his home as lie had left it nearly a year ago hut his mother knew that a man had returned in place of the hoy who had gone. Tak ing him into her arms, she cried a little. His father, telephoned to at the office, came home immediately. “Pm ready, dad,” Philip told him soberly, “to go into business any time you say.” Then he braced him self. “How—how is Lesbia?” “Lesbia?” said his mother eagerly. “Why, she’s line. She’s visiting Henry j Butler’s sister at their new summer home up in the Berkshires. She—” And there stood Lesbia herself, hav ing let herself in with the freedom of an old family friend. She held out both hands in welcome | to Philip but not until some time later when they were alone together did she say what had brought her home so suddenly. “It was the oddest thing, Phil! Last | night Henry drove me into town on i an errand for Ids mother and we 1 pulled in to watch one of those travel- i ing carnivals for a moment. And I declare, Phil, there was a chap play ing the piano wlto looked enough like you to he your twin! It affected me | so queerly that, when Henry on the way home asked me to toll him! definitely whether I would marry hin!j or not, I just up and said ‘No!’” “Because?” prompted Philip gently, i not during to anticipate what she might say.

Some still stand. Fayal! What heroism was done there In the name of the Stars arid Stripes! What glory! Ninety American sailors that day in the harbor of Fayal, a neutral port wiiose sanctity was violated by the British, licked 400 of his majesty’s best fighting men. They hurled them hack so fiercely, three-quarters of them killed or wounded, that the Brit ish lion, though he had 2,000 men in reserve, did not come back for more, but lay down to lick his wounds. Capt. Samuel . C. Retd was the hero of Fayal. Nor did the British, with their three ships to his one, take him. For the captain’s crew was made up of hellions. When the War of 1812‘began Britain controlled the seven seas. Her ship ping was rich and her ships were many. Soon the United States sent out to sea a great fleet of privateers men—more than 200 in all. They swooped down upon the English ship ping like hawks on songbirds. They struck, right and left, swiftly and with vengeance. Owners became rich and crews prospered—if they lived. Swiftest and fiercest of all the privateersmen that sailed out was the General Armstrong. This ship, black- huiled, white-sparred, with a rakish slant to Its masts, carried an amazing spread of canvas. It soon became a scourged Its wake was strewn with whipped hulks and its very name was terror. Sun shone bright In Fayal and the^e was warmth over all. Within the pro tected harbor was dead calm. Sud denly out of the horizon sailed three British warships. They were the Car nation, a brig, 18 guns, the Rota, a frigate, 38 guns and the Plantagenet, 74 guns, y / ' But this was n neutral harbor. Sure ly under the laws of the sea Reid was safe so long as he stayed inside. To the surprise of all who viewed the scene the British warships sailed directly into the harbor, lined i)ip hi lighting array and made ready for action. Then, after signals, a board ing party set out; 400 men in, open boats. They came with music and song and cries of joy and nfirth. But they had not reckoned with Captain Reid's crew of ninety men. These were down-East fishermen, ex pire tes*. old man-o’-warsmen. Creole privateersmen. They had learned their trade, many of them, looting Spanish ships—reckless adventurers all. They waited until the British boats were all but bumping noses against the black sides of the General Arm strong. Then, almost hand to hand, hell broke loose. Rifles and hi under buses roared, pistols barked, cutlasses and knives ripped and tore. The wa ters of the harbor about the ship turned red. The fight was short, fast, furious. But whipped as they were. Captain Reid knew that the British would not stay away. He looked across the har bor at the three grim ships and saw sullen activity, aboard. So with bis own hand he fired a cannon through the bottom of the" Armstrong and it sank. Two of his ninety men were dead; seven wounded. Gathering all those able to travel about him he fled in land. In a thick-walled convent he again turned face to his enemies and defied them all, British and Portu guese alike, to take him. Nor was he taken. Months later. Captain Reid and his motley crew arrived in Savannah. Georgia, and the nation went wild. War was over and it was a glorious homecoming. Did you know about the battle of Fayal? So passes glory. The 120 white markers, on the hilltop over Fayal, were planted the day after the fight over British dead. ((c). 1929. Lester B. Colby.)

McCormick Holiness Church ScheJ«?e Musicians Proud of Membership in Bands The United States Marine band had its ^origin in a fife and bugle corps, the only military music known to the Revolutionary army, but in 1800 the organization had been aug mented by several horns of differenl character. It has been a source of national pride ever since. In the mat ter of military bands the first place must be accorded to the Garde Re- publicaine in Paris. France has made playing in that organization purely an honor; its members do not re ceive pay. Garde bandsmen have first choice of vacancies in the opera and symphony concerts. England has several noteworthy bands. The Roy al Horse Guards, in their red coats and white trousers, jack hoots and spiked metal helmets, present a pic turesque group. There are also bands of the Grenadier guards and the Coldstream guards, besides Scots. -Irish and Welsh hands. But the great hand of England, which Is con stantly in attendance at royal ban quets, etc., Is the' Royal Artillery hand, stationed at Woolwich. It wn« organized *n 1702 with eight piavers Today il. -uemhershfp numbers nine tv-five. 1. The Prophetic View of the Course of Time from Christ’s Crucifixion to His Second Coming. (24:1-51). The order of events in this time are in general as follows: I. 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 (vv. 15-20). 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 the 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. 5. Instruction fo believers in view of the unexpectedness of Christ’s coming (23:1-30). II. Behavior of Believers in View of the Coming of the Lord (25:1-13). The teaching in the parable of the ten virgins hns continuous application in the present time (I Thess. .16:18; Titus 2 :llrl3). 1. The equipment of the virgins (vv. l-5j. (1) The foolish virgins took lamps, hut no oil with them (v. 3). Lamps signify Christian profession (Matt. 5:16) and oil the Holy, Spirit (Z«ch. 14). Having lamps hut no oil shows that they were professors of religion, without possessing its reality. The Christian life ,1s sustained by the Holy Spirit. As soon as a man is regen erated, the Holy Spirit takes up His abode with him. The Spirit’s In dwelling therefore, is an advance work upon fegeneration. The proof that one is a ehild of God Is mat he has the Holy Spirit dwelling within him. (Rom. 8:!)). The foolish virgins were processors, hut not possessors. (2). The wise virgins possessed both lamps and oil (v. 4). They backed rheir profession with a real life of righteousness. Both the wise and the foolish virgins slumbered and slept. This shows that as the present age lengthens, the real and the professing church will cease looking for the com ing of the Lord. It is unspeakably sad that so many, even of God’s chosen— the wise virgins—should give up the expectancy of the return of the Lord. 2. The coming of the bridegroom (vv. 6-12)1. (1) The midnight cry (v. 6). In the midst of the night when all the virgins were asleep the cry was heard. “Behold the bridegroom conieth.” Who knows but that the time of this cry is now close upon us? (2) Activity of the virgins (v. 7). They all arose and trimmed their lamps. There will be great activity when the Lord comes on the part of both believers and those who only make a profession. It will he a day when the reality of one’s faith will be tested. (3) The foolish virgins’ request of the wise to share their oil (vv. 8, !)). 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 ofl—the bride groom came, and those who won* 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, “I 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 attention 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) Borrowed 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. McCormick —. Preaching STyvn-fc?
