The wit nesses acclaimed it a miracle and so it was; but we need some definition of that word. He himself was very reticent about his “miracles.” It was perfectly clear that he did not interpret them in the same way that his followers did, nor attach the same importance to them. He was of ten reluctant to perform them, and frequently insisted that the indi vidual who had been healed should “go and tell no man.” And on one celebrated occasion—his visit to his home town, Nazareth—the narra tive tells us clearly that the miraculous power was powerless, and for a very interesting and impressive reason. The people of Nazareth were his boyhood acquaintances and they were skeptical; they had heard with cynical scorn the stories of the wonders he had performed in other towns; they were determined not to be fooled; he might deceive the world, which knew him only as a tecaher; but they knew him better—he was just Jesus, their old neigh bor, the son of .the local carpenter. So of that visit the gospel writers .set down one of the most tragic sentences in literature. “He could do there no mighty work,” they tell us, “because of their unbelief.” Whatever the explanation of Jesus’ miraculous power may be, it is clear that something big was required of the recipient as well as the time: COUNTS when you 9 re in PAINl Insist on genuine Bayer Aspirin; not only for its safety, but its speed.

IXt give: answers that; are important U) all grain growers in the state. 1. Can corn smut be controlled by seed treatment? No, the fungus which causes corn smut is not seed-bome but is carried over in the soil, on old corn stalks, and in manure from animals that have been fed on diseased corn. rhe spores are spread by wind and oth er agencies. Rotation will help in controlling the disease as will -also cutting out and burning the af fected stalks before the shiut mass es mature. 2. What is the best method of controlling stinking smut of wheat? Seed treatment, preferably with copper carbonate applied at the rate of two ounces per bushel in a closed container. Formaldehyde and bluestone may be used but are not generally recommended, be cause under some conditions seri ous seed injury may occur. 3. What is the best method controlling loose and covered smut of oats? Seed treatment with formaldehyde. This can be ap plied by spraying, sprinkling, or dipping. For the spray and sprink ling methods, one pint of formalde hyde diluted with from one pint to 40 gallons of water is used for each 50 bushels of grain. For the dip ping method one pint to 40 gallons of water is used. Organic mercury dust and formaldehyde dust are showing promising results as seed disinfectants. 4. When can wheat be planted to escape fall injury by the Hessian fly? Usually about October 25 in the Piedmont and about November in the lower part of the state.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE PAST l-'ALF HOUR? J WINS HIGHEST HONOR A New York 4-H club boy has won the highest honor which can come to a baby beef club member. He is Harold Hamilton of Millerton. The distinction was to win the championship in the baby beef show for club members at the East ern States Exposition at Spring- field, Mass., and on a calf which he bred as well as fitted. The Hamilton boy won the cham pionship in competition with about 100 prize winners at local fairs which had come to the show. It was pronounced by the judge, W. J. Kennedy of St. Joseph, Mo., as one of the best calves he had seen in the many club shows he had judg ed. An interesting story is back of the champion calf and its owner. Back in 1927, young Hamilton fitted and showed a beef calf at the Spring- field exposition. All of his year’s hopes came true when it was made a champion of that show. One of the prizes he received was a pure bred beef heifer from the herd of Ingus maintained at Briarcliff Farms, Pine Plans, New York. The ! calf was a fine specimen, as the i cwner of the farm, Mr. Oakleigh I . home, a retired business man, is |; reatly interested in rebuilding the I I eef cattle industry of New Eng- ! ]and. Harold took the prize heifer home nd raised it, also its calves as they ame. They developed into fine The average weight of players in the National Professional Football League is 203 pounds.

RATTLESNAKES ... at home*- “Rattlesnake Pete” Gruber died th? other day at 75.. I knew him many years ago in Rochester, N. Y., whence he used to sally forth into the haunts of rattlesnakes and capture the reptiles fbr the sake of their venom which, well diluted of course, is used for several medical purposes. Pete Gruber used to say that he had been bitten by rattlefs more than 500 times. He knew how to. treat a snake-bite, however, and he- contributed much valuable knowl edge to the medical profession. One of his favorite hunting grounds for rattlers used to be in the limestone cliffs on both sides; of the Niagara canyon. I don’t. of know whether there are any rat tlers there now, or not, but thera are few places in America where some variety of this serpent cannot be found. In my New England boyhood we used to have a saying; that wherever you found huckle berries you’d find rattlers. That was because huckleberris grow best on limestone hills where the under brush has been burnt over, and that is just the sort of country rat tlesnakes like best. PENSIONS ... for old folks— Eighteen states now provide cash pensions for the aged poor, instead of penning them up in almshouses. New Jersey is the latest to join the movement, providing pensions up to $30 a month for persons past 70 years old. In the whole United States there are now more than 90,000 old folk getting ’pensions, and the move ment is spreading. A national old age pension system is proposed, and its discussion will be one of the im portant things before Congress next Winter. It is estimated that there are more than six million Americans over 65 years old, of whom a third are not able to sup port themselves. The Association for Old Age Security, with headquarters in. New York, is back of this move ment, and is doing a good joh. Anyone who wants to know more about it ought to write to them for information. MOTHER ... by Whistler- One of the world’s most famous- paintings, James McNeill Whistler’s portrait of his mother, is being loaned by the great French mu seum of The Louvre for exhibition in New York, at the Museum of Modern Art. This is the first painting by an American artist ever to be hung in the Louvre, but although its paint er was an American by birth, he lived most of his life in Europe and this canvas has never been seen on this side of the Atlantic. Every body, however, is familiar with the millions of colored copies of it which have been made and sold all over the world. The old lady with gray hair and a widow’s cap, seated primly in a straight-backed chair, has become the symbol of mother of all ages and in all lands.* If Whistler had never painted anything else his reputation would live forever for During 18 years of play, Babe Ruth has slammed out 652 home runs.
