The lesson text is one of the most beautiful of New Testa ment stories and the record of one of Christ’s appearances aft- ' er the resurrection. It was the afternoon of the res- ' arrection day when two disciples . en their way from Jerusalem to jCrrmiaus wefe overtaken by a , stranger who fell into their stride and walked with them. It was natural that they talked of 1 the wondrous happenings that i day in Jerusalem. The eyes of the two disciples “were holden J that they should not know” Jesus. They told the stranger of their * vanished hopes, of the dreams fthat had fled when Jesus was crucified. The stranger listened T attentively, then, rebuking them - lor being “slow of heart" to 'understand the scriptures, began 1 with Moses and expounded all : die things concerning the Mes- t siah. r As any stranger would have jinne, Jesus, when the home of T the disciples was reached, ' 1 “made as though he would go 4 farther." But they urged him ; to turn in with them, and when . they sat down to meat, Jesus was . r known to them in the breaking of 4 bread. And immediately Jesus * vanished out of their sight. J It is significant that Jesus ap- * peared unto those who were \ thinking about him. So may you tand 1 think much of Jesus that * cur minds may become fit places for the presence of Jesus. .•*, % - • -.-v * <• Judge Thurmpnd Gets High Award • i 4 F . - - EdRcficld, S.

Medical "authorities and food specialists say that to be laalthy and strong and active one should eat plenty, of fruit and 'REjstables. Hints . Do not allow tomkto plants to Etov long legged. Transplant them toother boxes or frames and give xoom to become stout-stemmed sod stocky. If well hardened they soay be set in the 4 open ten days esxlier. In setting tpmato plants do not follow the old rule of setting only as they stood in the seed bed. This is not deep enough. A good tomato plant is about eight inches Don the root to the top, and a- bout as large as a lead pencil. Jklants set in this manner will h^ve root enough to resist drought, besides roots will come along the, part of the stem that is under the ground. i^ariy kinds of vegetables that were planted in February and March, such as beets, cabbage, 1 carrots, cauliflower, Kale, lettuce, mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need to be cultivated • fiequontly and 1 thoroughly and should be given a aMe dressing of nitrate of soda. Shatter this between the rows without getting it on the plants. 1 Cultivate the ground with a wheel hoe. - You can kill as many weeds and pulverize as mudh eru^t In an hour with a wheel hoe as you can in at least three hours .with an old- fxshioned weeding hoe. In order that an. unbroken sup ply may be had, ipake another planting of the vegetables planted during March. Beets from seed may be transplanted when they are too thick and missing places filled or new rows set. Make Plantings Npw of the Fol lowing vegetables: Beans: Bountiful, Plentiful, yendergreen, Black Valentine, Lo gan, and Cherokee Wax. Sow in open 1 1-2 inches deep, one quart to 100 feet.

He stands 6 feet, 3 inches, : :M weighs 180 pounds. Ted Williams Ted is aiming. .at a .400 aver age. “When you are shooting at a target, why not pick the top one?" he queries. “I still think I am toe greatest hitter base ball has ever known. I’m work ing on my hitting all the time. The minute I am satisfied with what 1 am doing, that means I am over the hill. I don’t care what I hit—I want to do better.
