How often a blundering advocate allows himself to be dragged into fu tile argument, when by throwing the burden back on to his opponent’s shoulders he could attain an easy mastery. Jesus seldom argued. The record of his questions is a fruitful study for all of us who, in our every-day affairs, must deal with other minds. Let us recall two of those questions. The Pharisees set a trap for him. One Sabbath day they hunted up a man with a withered hand and tleposited him in the Temple where Jesus would be sure to pass. Then they waited. If Jesus healed him, it would be a breach of the Code, which forbade any activity on the Sabbath. They would have that to recall when the crisis came. Jesus sensed the test and met it without hesitation. “Stand forth,’* he said to the poor chap. The bigoted formalists pushed in close. This was their moment. They had dug the pit cleverly and now he was about to fall in. The soft light went out of Jesus eyes, the muscles of his jaw grew tense, he looked “round on them with anger,” as he demanded: “Is it unlawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” He waited for an answer but none came. \V hat could they say? If they replied that the law forbade a good deed, their answer would be repeated all over town. Th? crowd of common folks who followed him were his friends, not theirs only too glad to spread a story which would cast dis credit on the proud defenders of the law. The Pharisees had sense enough to recognize that fact, at least. They “held their peace,” and sullenly slipped away. On another day it was his own disciples who learned how he could compress a whole philosophy into a well-di rected interrogation. They were by no means free from the frailties of ordinary human nature. They fussed about little things arguing among themselves as to who should have preeminence; wondering how their bills were to be met, and just where the whole enterprise was coming out. He brought them up short with a question. “Which of you by being anxious can add a single day to his life?” he demanded. “And if you can't do this simple thing, why worry about the rest? Consider the rav ens; they don’t sow or reap; they have no store-houses or barns, and yet God takes care of them. Don’t you suppose that you are of more value in his sight than a flock of birds?” How trival seemed their concern and controversy after a question like that. 'erswii The Ann Carter Chapter, U. D.

The final figures of ginning of the cotton crop of 1932 show that 12,994,430 five hundred pound bales were ginned, as against 13,931,597 in 1930 and 17,095,594 in 1931. The cotton crop of last year was sev eral million bales too large for a good price, in view of the large carry-over and the working of the law of supply and demand. How ever, there is another feature in the cotton ginning report that is worthy of interest. The number of round bales last year was 722,152 compared with 621,370 the year be fore. It will be seen that, while the whole crop last year was 4,101,164 bales less than the year before, the number of round bales was 100,- 782 greater. Will that per centage of gain be kept up? j will recall that when the macnin- j ery for turning out round bales j was first put on the market, it was leased. Its owners felt sure it would displace promptly the ma chinery turning out the square- edged bales and that there would be an enormous profit in its op eration. Those hopes were not realized, but there has been a slow and steady gain in use of ma chinery turning out round bales. There are some advantages in the round bale process, but the round bales take up more room in ware houses and freight cars and this offsets to some extent the advan tages. delphinium blue and crocus yellow are already flitting along fashion Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Chamberlain, avenues. 220 Eighteenth street north, St. I The suit shown in the sketch Petersburg, Fla., announce the ar- ' above incorporated every new rival of a son Saturday, March 11, slenderizing line.
