Beef Cattle Sale In After the death of Samuel, who was prophet and priest for Israel, Saul was left to manage the af fairs of the kingdom alone. This was a different task for Saul, for the Lord had departed from him, because of his disobedience. Very soon the old enemy of Israel, the Philistines, came to fight against Saul.

In his desperation he decided to consult the Witch of Endor. It was commonly known that this witch could communicate with the dead. She could bring departed souls back from the spirit world for brief periods. Saul hoped that he might be able to communicate with the dead prophet, Samuel. Having disguised himself, he went by night to the fonely hut occupied by the witch. Having stated his mission, the witch con sented to use her gifts at witch craft. So with all the arts of magic and witchcraft, she began. A vision came before the witch. “I see gods coming up out of the ground,” she cried. After this strange procession of the gods, the vision cleared and there, in the dark and quiet of the witch’s hut, Samuel appeared to them. The prophet had come back to life from the spirit world. When Samuel appeared, he looked very eld and wore a mantle He complained because he had been disturbed from his peaceful sleep of death. He questioned Saul concerning his troubles; to which Saul replied, that the Philistines were attacking and God had de parted from him. Then Samuel said, “God has given the kingdom to David because of your . diso bedience. The Philistines shall be victorious against Israel, and to morrow you and your sons shall be with me in the land of the * dead.” What a message to receive from a dead saint! In the battle the next day, the Philistines were victorious. Saul was wounded and, rather than have the enemy kill him, he com manded his armourbearer to slay him. When the armourbearer re fused, Saul fell on his own sword and was killed. This story is found in I Samuel 28:3-25 ; 31:1-6. Read it for your self.

Austin Shelley, urging poultrymen to follow simple practices that prevent these pests. “Most poultry flocks that have not been treated for lice and mites during the last six months are in fested with these parasites”, the agent states. “Lice stay on birds all the time and feed on the outer layer of skin and cause the dam age chiefly by annoying the birds.

Since people existed chiefly to provide revenue for their political rulers, this early form of Chris tianity was so persecuted that after a few hundred years Chris tians gave up the struggle and ac cepted the existing political sys tem. UTOPIA real More than four hundred years ago Sir Thomas More, recently elevated to sainthood by the Ro man Catholic Church, wrote a book about an imaginary country which he called “Utopia.” It was a description of a whole nation living happy and contented lives under a Communistic system * in which wealth was shared, every body contributed his labor to the common welfare and everyone’s needs were met out of the com mon store of wealth. Recently it has been learned that Sir Thomas had heard from a sailor who had been shipwrecked on the coast of Peru, an account of the still mysterious kingdom of the Incas, long before the con quest of Peru by the Spanish. The treasure of the Incas was stolen by the conquerors, its leaders were 3lain and the people reduced to slavery. But such authentic records as still exist indicate that this trange people, whose origin is unknown, lived for thousands of years in the nearest approach to the perfect state that has ever been achieved by humanity. They were able to make Com munism work because they were' completely self-sustaining and shut off from envious neighbors by high mountains and impassable rivers. PERFECTION . . . . . experiments The word “Utopia” has become a common noun meaning an ideal and perfect community or state. Scores of philosophers have writ ten books telling haw universal contentment might be achieved, and hundreds of attempts to work it out on a more or less limited scale have been made. All but one or two of these attempts have failed utterly, and the ones that survive have done so by abandon ing most of their original Commu nistic principles. Nearly all of these experiments have been tried in the United per cent over the February record it was announced today at the company headquarters here. Sales for the month were the highest recorded since April, 1937, com parison of the figures showed. Sales in the final 10-day period were 45,356 units, only 15,302 units less than the total for the two previous 10-day periods combined. The 10-day figure was higher, by 35,4 per cent, than that for the previous 10 days, indicating an ex cellent outlook for continued high volume in April, it was stated. Sales for the first quarter, the report showed, were 254,751, as compared with 191,607 in the first quarter of 1939. The increase amounts to 33.0 per cent. Movement of dealers’ used cars also continued heavy through the month, the report indicates. Sale of 162,663 of these units was re corded, as against 141,700 in the same month last year.

After seven years Com-jmittee. Full use of the individual AAA Farm Plan in planning their 1940 farming operations will assist county farmers in obtaining greater benefits from AAA Farm Program, according to County Agent D. Austin Shelley. In filling out his Farm Plan sheet, each farmer is offered the assistance of his local AAA Com mittee. Farmer and committee man discuss what soil-building practices are most needed on the farm: and how the farmer can use the maximum assistance available to the best advantage. Taking in to account farm allotments, rater of payment, and other factors, the farmer can plan his operation in such a way as to bring greatest benefits under the Agricultural Conservation Program. Through this personal contact with the committeeman, the farm er is better able to become ac quainted with all provisions of the 1940 program, said Mr. Shelley. State handbooks, containing ful details of the 1940 program, als are available to each farm op eratOr. Any farm operator who has n~ had an opportunity to work c his AAA Farm Plan, may obtr. this assistance by contacting ! county agent or a member of ) con structor at Dartmouth College,. Hanover, N.
