Disnsa, MAKING A LIVING Lesson for November 13, Luke 19:12-26 Golden Text: Romans 12:11 The parable of the pounds, to which our lesson is devoted, is an ad monition to be faithful in entrusted responsibilities. There were ten servants, each of whom received the equivalent of twenty dollars for investment during the absence of their master. Upon his return, three made a report. The first said that his money had increased ten fold, and received the authority oven ten towns as a reward for his business skill. The second revealed a five-fold yield, and was given authority over five towns. The third declared he had wrapt his mohey in fear in a cloth. The master, in anger, took the pound from him and gave it to him who had ten. » Plainly our Lord here sounds a caution against indolence applauds, as He so often does, energy and resourcefulness. e MOGOUtr ■Met AO FELIX RIESENBERG V ^ * * * EIGHTEENTH INSTALLMENT There was a wide-a-wake lot of boys and girls—and leaders, too— taking part in the 4-H events at the Dairy Cattle Congress recently held at Waterloo, Iowa. The 4-H events were moved there when the National Dairy Show at St. Louis was abandoned for 1932. They were fch a re from 13 states, but the un lucky number didn’t seem to both er the young folks in the least. They have learned that pluck, not luck, wins battles. There was a little girl in one of the demonstrations whose whole life had been a battle. Until she was 10 years of age she had no con trol over her speech. There was an active 4-H club in her commun ity to which her brother belonged. It gave much attention to health work. The little girl saw there was hope for her if she would strive. Her mother said she would work with a word until she could form it in her mouth and then she would ehoufc it until she had fixed con trol of it. With her brother she demonstrated ice cream making at the show and the pair won second place. She is how 13. They were ly-'t'"" only bv a ngir of clever sist ers—Alvar and Helen Nelson of Li.ohmg, Minn. Two Nebraska boys from Madison county made a miniature milk and cream cooling tank before the audi ence to win first place. The boys were Arland Schmidt and Vernon Rottler. County agent J. H. Will iams had coached them. They put the concrete forms together and poured the cement, handling the t.rowels like old hands. They said running well water cooled milk 20 times faster than air. A Wisconsin team of three boys from Buffalo county won the ani mal judging contest. One of them, William Kammueller, 18, and in elub work 7 years, was high boy of S') boys competing. The Illinois team came from the Walnut High School in Bureau county and had taken agricultural studies in that school under C. M. Hatlund.

How many there are like him, men and women who will not serve on committees, or promote the higher life of the community, who resist ev ery appeal for help with a clear indication that they cannot be bother ed.

As he taught in the temple, one of them was hurried into his presence by a vulgar crowd of self-righteous Scribes and Pharisees. She had been taken in the act of infidelity, and according to the Mosaic law she could be stoned to death. Shrinking, embarrassed, yet with a look in which defiance and scorn were mingled too, she stood in his presence, and listened while their unclean lips played with the story of her shame. What thoughts must have raced through her mind—she who knew men and despised them all, and now was brought to judgment before a man! They were all alike, in her philosophy; what would this one do and say? To her amazement, and the discomfiture of her critics, he said nothing. He “stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.” They craned their necks to see what he wrote and continued to taunt him with their questions: “Moses says stone her; what do you say?” “Come now, if you are a prophet, here’s a matter for you to decide.” “We found her in the house of So and So. She is guilty; what’s your answer?” All this time he had not once looked at the woman’s face, and he did not Jo-k at her now. Slowly he “lifted himself up,” and facing the evil-minded pack, said quitely: “He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her.” v And again, says the parrative, he stooped down and wrote on the ground. A painful silence fell upon the crowd; he continued writing. He wrote—apd one by one the thick-lipped champions of morality drew their garments around them and slipped away, until the court was empty except for him and her. Then, and only then, his glance was lifted. “Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned Rantoui thee!” he inquired, as if in surprise. Amazed at the sudden turn of affairs she could hardly find her voice. “No man, Lord,” she murmured works in the s’.vcatshop store—and is openly couried bv Becka—the young daughter .. .

That chapter was an af fair with his mother’s maid, who left the hous" when he was accused. The lives of Johnnv Breen and Gil bert Van Horn first cross when Van Horn sees Breen win his first im portant ring battle. Pug Malone, tight trainer, rescues young Breen from a crooked manager, takes him in hand, finds Breen cannot read and starts him to night school, and the world commences to open for Johnny Breen . . . Malone, on oid- timer, is backed in a health-farm venture—taking Breen with hirq. There they meet and come to know Gilbert Van Horn. John at tracts Van Horn, who learns of Breen’s mother, named Harriet, learning John’s desire for an en gineering course at Columbia Uni versity—he advances the money. John comes to know Josephine, Van Horn’s ward and during his school years falls in love with her. Graduating as a Civil Engineer he gets a job with a great construc tion company, working in New York. Breen has a rival for the love of Josephine, a rich man of the world by the name of Rantoui. Bat John wins out. He proposes and Josephine accepts. Breen gives all his attention to his job which wor ries Van Horn—Finally Josephine goes to Paris for her trousseau. And at the last moment Rantoui, sails on the same boat. At sea the great ocean liner crashes into iceberg and sinks—all passengers taking to the lifeboats. Van Horn perishes but Rantoui saves him self—with Josephine. Breen learns that Gilbert Van Horn was his fa ther. Back home, Josephine re turns Breen’s ring and marries John, stunned, buries h’mself in his work and rises rap idly. The U.

R. Hawkins, extension livestock specialist, re porting results of killing and cut ting demonstrations and efforts to secure cold storage facilities for curing home-produced meats. Following the four sectional meetings in early October to fur ther train county farm agents in meat cutting, when Mr. Hawkins was assisted by K. F. Warner of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, Mr. Hav/kins and the agents have been holding cutting demonstrations for farmers in vari ous parts of the state. “Several new ice and cold storage plants have become interested in the storing of meat for the far mers,” says Mr. Hawkins regarding the movement to get cold storage facilities. “The Kartsville Ic? a~d , Fj.cI Company has equipped a cold ; storage room and has instailed bins j and olans to extend the services of fered last year so as to take fresh- killed meat, chill it, apply the cur- j ing mixture, overhaul and resalt, i and notify the farmers when che | meat is ready to take out. At | Johnston McQueen Quattleboum is fitting a room in his cold storage plant for taking care of meat in a similar manner. The Allendale Ice and Fuel Company is planning to fit up one room in the plant to furnish this service to farmers. The Florence Ice and Fuel Company is planning to fit up two cold stor age plants in Florence county to take care of the meat in that sec tion, and the Kingstree plant to furnish the service in that section, and possibly the plant , at Manning as well. The Charleston Ice Plant, with branches at Hollywood and Summerville, is fitting up these plants for receiving meat, and we have prospects that Mr. Deiter of the Palmetto Fish and Oyster Com pany, Columbia, will arrange to take care of meat here. “We hope to extend the list con siderably to include plants in other s3Ctions and thereby make this rervice available to most farmers in the eastern and lower parts of this state. The prevailing low price of hogs, together with the memory « t me Dad results of last year’s n°at curing, will l^d many farm ers to patronize cold rtoragp plants as a means of keeping their meat.”, War.
