The sick man at the Pool of JBethesda inspires us with a sense •f pity. After shattering his health by a life of sensual indulgence he lay for 38 years a hopeless paralyt ic. ^Jethesda is perhaps the Vir- gfn*s pool, near the Temple, the on ly natural spring in Jerusalem. The sffrrfng of the waters was perfect ly natural, but popular superstition ascribed it to supernatural power. The tragedy of this pathetic case is that people had ceased to notice* fids invalid of such long standing. A forlorn, lonely soul, he just didn’t count. Such a case of neglect made an instant appeal to the Master. HDo you wish to become a healthy man?” he asked. Of course the poor follow did, but it is doubtful if he expected a cure after so many long years of disappointment. Besides he did not know Jesus at all (vs. 13). Instead, then, of healing the man as a reward of faith, which was the usual practice of Jesus, the ■Hsrzsle was wrought to produce fofth. Note also that the paralytic was cured without being touched, and without the use of gestures cr formulae. •The great 6th chapter of John’s 'gospel on the “Bread of Life” which, we have reason to believe, was a talk given by John at a eom- xaunion service, is of vital impor tance. The miracle of the feeding of the five thousand marked a crisis in the ministry of Jesus. The peo- j pie were so impressed that they ins&te'd, much to his annoyance, that he should be crowned king of Israel. Precisely how our Lord man aged to feed so many is a mystery. IK raay be that many families in the crowd had provisions hidden under togas and shawls, and that all that the Master did was to set an un- aelflsh example by distributing the •five loaves and two fishes donated Ay the boy. At any rate the miracle teaches effectively that the great est results are possible from the amaHest means: Oat Aphid Damage Likely, Says Agent Unless colder weather intervenes widespread outbreaks of the spring grain aphid may occur in coasta South Carolina similar to those o 1935, says R. D. Suber, county farm agent. The 1935 outbreaks were ex plained by the restricted breeding of aphid parasites and by the de layed emergence of lady beetles from hibernation quarters. Tem peratures between 40 and 55 de grees Fahrenheit are favorable for aphid reproduction but unfavorable for breeding of aphid parasites and ? or the emergence of lady beetles rem hibernation, Mr. Suber states. Soring grain aphid damage is evidenced by the dying of large spots in fields. It is often the case that oats growing near the watei furrows and in low places are more severely damaged than others. A close inspection reveals small, green, soft-bodied insects. Large quantities of organic mat ter seemed to increase aphid dam age, a 1935 survey by W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, revealed. Especially noticeable were the spots where green weeds were turned un der just prior to oat planting. Large quantities of uncomposted barn yard litter had the same effect. Oats planted following cotton were rarely damaged, many county farm agents observed and reported. Most serious damage occurred in the coastal section but the spring grain aphid and two other species were present throughout the state. Volunteer grain should be elimi nated before the main crop is planted, the county agent advises. Observations indicate that oats planted after cotton are less likely to be damaged. Grazing will tend to reduce the number of aphids and stimulate plants on which aphids are feed ing, especially when plants are small; but grazing after plants have made considerable growth certain- y can not be recommended if the production of grain is desired. Adequate fertilization especially with some quickly available form of nitrogen to stimulate growth is advisable. When aphid damage is reported in a community, farmers should hasten to apply nitrate of soda to insure vigorous healthy plants. Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get re lief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you can not afford to take a chance with any thing less than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Even if other remedies have failed, don’t be discouraged, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.) Insurance The Sanitary Barber Shop McCORMICK, S. C. Fire Insurance And All j Other Kinds of Insurance Ex cept Life. Regular And Reliable Service HUGH C.

Sage, New York. Han dled by Clyde Morton. H ERE is an action picture of the famous Sulu, the pointer who swept every thing before her at National Field Trials of 1936 at Grand Junction, Tenn. Sulu, the queen of them all! Thousands of bird dogs range the fields... but there’s only one Sulu. To this glorious creature Nature gave her greatest gift, a perfect balance of the vital ele ments; speed, scent, endurance, instinct and intelligence. An other pointer may be just as good to look at, but Sulu has that vital Spark—every thing in perfect bal ance. So Sulu is the queen; the other is just a dog. Just as Nature favored Sulu, she favored Natural Chilean Ni trate of Soda. Just as Sulu has many elements in Nature s bal ance, so has this nitrogen fer tilizer. Nature aged and blended into Natural Chilean, mere than thirty “impurities”, or vital ele ments that your crops need to g-ow and to produce their best. These vital elements are in addition to Natural Chilean’s quick-acting nitrogen. That’s why Natural Chilean is co good for your land and your crops.
