* Easily Built Trough Will Aid Sheepmen Designed to Cut Labor, Lumber, Space and Feed An easily built grain or hay trough has proved to be a problem for many sheep growers, but this trough designed by H. M. Briggs, department of animal husbandry, 4* IlftAC This trough will save lumber, space and feed for the sheep , grower. Oklahoma agricultural experiment station, will provide the answer to that problem in many cases. The trough shown in these draw ings is intended for mature sheep and will save labor, lumber, space and feed. As the drawings show, the trough can be built easily by any farm handy-man, if the plan is followed strictly. It should be noted that the trough has its own floor. If yearling rams are to be fed, the material should be slightly heavier than is shown in the plan. The center of the pen, according to Briggs, is the most desirable lo cation for this trough. Or several can be placed in a lot or pen. If the trough is placed on a dirt floor or lot, dig a shallow hole under each leg so the trough cannot be pushed about. In a bedded pen, the legs will anchor in the bedding. The trough can be cleaned easily by tipping it up. Wings for Wingless’ Wings for a wingless chicken are provided here by airline stewardess Marilyn Crawford. She is shown holding her very own “wings” to one of Peter Bauman’s famed “wingless” chickens, which Bauman is holding in the photo. Four of the chickens were shipped by air to Olean, N.Y., for breeding purposes. Caution Urged In Use Of Chemicals, Sprays Dust sprays, gasses and other in secticides will do much to promote the healthy growth of fruits and vegetables is the gist of instruction being passed out now by county agents over the nation. However, these can often have Just the opposite effect on people. Even though the container may not bear the skull and crossbones label, caution is necessary sipce many substances are harmful in some ways to man, despite the fact that they may not be definitely poison ous. - The whole story of safety in use of insecticides, it was pointed out, is simply precaution. 5v - A . , Technique Is Outlined For Reclaiming Leather One way to bring mildewed leath er back into service in short order, say home management specialists, is to wipe it with a cloth wrung out in diluted aleohoL Use one cup of denatured alco hol to one cup of water.

MIRROR Of Your MIND Degrees of 'Emotionalism' By Lawrence Gould Answer: Very much so, if you mean that they display their feel ings freely, or cannot control them when they want to. But I know no reason for believing that one per son is endowed by Nature with more or less inborn capacity for feeling than another. Depending upon their life-experience, espe cially children, A—develops more Intense feeling of love or hate than B—does and at the same time either remains free to express his feelings or is forced to “repress” them out of consciousness. But they may have been much alike to start with. Answer: Yes. For boredom is frustration (of your wish to do something that interests you) and frustration always tends to create rage and inner conflict. On the other hand, the reason for your being bored is often that you’re childishly unwilling to “make the best of a bad job.” For instance. try to learn something from • long-winded description of your future f a t h e r-in-law’s business problems if you have to listen to them while you’re waiting for daughter to put on her make-up. Adaptability is the best antidote to boredom. Do “truth serums” violate a prisoner’s rights? Answer: They would seem to, unless he accepts the treatment of his own accord and with full knowledge of what he is doing. For “narcoanalysis” may lead him to incriminate himself by admit ting what the law allows him to require the prosecution to prove. A French court ruled that a pris oner who had been shown by this method to be feigning illness had been “deprived of his free will,” and threatened to prosecute the doctors for “assault and battery.” What goes on in our minds is no one else’s business unless we choose to reveal it.

And in the case of ACTH, we cannot understand why a firm as large as Armour & Co., cannot produce it in sufficient quantities for even a small percentage of sufferers. Perhaps all the answers to why we cannot get either of these drugs at the present time is because the tremendous demand greatly ex ceeds the supply. Rheumatism is the oldest disease known to man and more patients suffer with it than with any other disease. Besides, to the jio^t de mand for the drugs in --ases of rheumatism, research workers are reporting excellent results in the use of them in other diseases than rheumatism. In fact, they state that Cortisone and ACTH will be hailed as wonder drugs of the same standing as in sulin for diabetes. And like insulin, at present anyway, these new drugs must be taken continuously, as symptoms return when these drugs are stopped. In “The Ontario Medical Re view,” Dr. Wallace Graham, presi dent, Canadian Arthritis society, states that Cortisone, .produced by Merck & Co., and ACTH, taking months to produce even under the best conditions, are now available. “The production of Cortisone is an extraordinarily difficult and com plicated process requiring more than 30 time-consuming chemical reactions. To produce the com- pound from its first step to the fin ished pro duct requires many months. The amount accumulated from 1946 to January, 1949, will have been virtually exhausted by the experimental and clinical studies which have already been completed and by the additional studies now in progress.” ★ HEALTH NOTES Painful feet are both a physical and mental hazard. Generally speaking, most of us make as much money with our feet as we do with our beads. • • • Aside from the bile killing harm ful organisms, the liver cells them selves filter out poisons from the blood which, if not removed, would eause tiredness and weakness. Now that chest X-ray examina tions are becoming available al most everywhere, it is known that hundreds of cases of tuberculosis are being found in which there was no thought that tuberculosis might be present. Some had the examina tion because they had been told that an early symptom of tuber culosis was tiredness, and they did feel tired most of the time. THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. & C. KATHLEEN NORRIS Hasty Weddings "TS THERE ANYTHING we can ^ do to stop the unthinking young marriages that lead to so mariy un thinking divorces?” asks Doris Day (not her real name). She is matron in a dormitory that houses some 200 college girls, on the campus of a midwestem uni versity. "They plunge joyfully into matrimony without any considera tion for anything except their new found passion for each other,” her letter goes on,” and in a pitifully short time the realities of rent and food and clothing swarm over them; they feel cheated and tied; and only under exceptional circum stances can they hold together, or be expected to hold together.”. And Miss Day, who is Scotland bom—and has herself been mar ried, and is war-widowed—observes that she was engaged to her young man at the age of 20, and married to him eight years later, and that their 10 years together were cloud lessly happy. “In my country,” she writes, “long engagments are considered quite natural. A girl and a man find an affinity, they plan their future and then, perhaps, he goes off to Africa, China or India to get hit start. Or he gets a position with one of our many banks, oil compa nies, or shipping firms that simply do not permit employees to burden themselves with domestic cares until a certain financial stage is reached. Their Happy Plana “It seems to me this delay,” con tinues the letter, “makes for character and self-control. The girl trusts her man, and he trusts her. And as the time of the wedding ap proaches, their happy plans, their preparations, the presents and trousseau and finding of the new home, are surely the more delight ful because of the long wait “Aren’t slow-developing things nature’s way, after all? Spring and summer, the coming of a baby, the slow rise of a man to a position of ". . . they plan their future . . .* responsibility, the slow gathering of household goods in the slowly- acquired home—doesn’t all this come closer to a real ideal of liv ing? “Isn’t it better relished than this rush of today’s adolescents into the most sacred of relationships, the skipping of all formalities and pre liminaries, the childish assumption that ignorance and passion and novelty are all that is needed? “Right near the campus,” writes Doris, “there is a couple aged 19 and 20. They ran away and were married in a neighboring state eight months ago. The girl’s family continued to send her $100 a month. The boy’s family has never an swered his exultant wire. Baby Expected “In a few weeks there will be a baby. At first they were delighted about this baby; now they are not so sure. The boy has left school and taken a job in a shoe store. The girl plans to go home for the baby’s arrival and tells me in tears that she won’t come back. Sandy Is so changed, she says, so irrita ble lately. They can’t do anything, can’t afford night club dinners or movies. Their rent is $55 a month, for three small unheated rooms in the rear of a village house. Elinor is sick of ‘money talk and the eggy dishes and the splashy bathroom and the oil cook stove, and feeling so rotten all the time.” Well, Doris, wonderful lives have been built out of those eggy dishes and cold little rooms, money short age and young discouragement. Spring comes and the baby comes and, when they take the baby west to see Grandma and Grandpa, Sandy gets a job in hospitable Ore gon or California, the little new family will get on its feet among a million others who have fought the same good fight. If Sandy and Elinor have charac ter enough—or only the beginnings of fine character—and if they know that love has to be built slowlyt like the house and the income and the baby, then they're all right. I hope they are. But long engagements? Well, perhaps blood in Scotland and Eng land runs more slowly, is cooler. Or perhaps pounds, shillings and pence loom more important in the eyes of lovers than do dollars and cents over here. But nobody dares talk long en gagements here. The wedding date is usually set before the engage ment is announced at all, and as for the quiet talks, the plans, the reading of books, the placid post ponement until say, 1954 or 1956— our young people would laugh aU that out of court. Hearty Desserts, Served Piping Hot From Stove, Pep Up Family Meals SEEMS as though I can’t serve enough to keep appetites satis fied these cold days,” says many a homemaker when the tempera tures dip and chilly menfolk and youngsters crowd around the table ready to eat everything in sight.

It has some thing to do along all these lines, of course. But the Church is meant to be a place and channel of power. One" of the last things Jesus, the Founder of the Church, said to his friends was: “Ye shall receive pow er when the Holy Spirit is come up on you.” Not—you shall receive com- Foreman fort, or wealth, or insight, or any other good thing, though all of them have their place. What Jesus highlights is power. Df. W. M. Horton, in his little book on the Christian faith, asks: When is a church not a church? His answer is: When it has lost the Holy Spirit That is a good New Testament answer. The early Christians could not have imagined a church with out the Holy Spirit because in fact there had never been one without him. It was the coming of the Spirit on that summer day in Jerusalem that actually made the church, in the first place. True, it was not made oat of nothing. But suppose the Spirit had never come? What would have happened? Sooner or later the little band would have grown tired of waiting, would have given up faith in Jesqs’ prom ise, would have drifted off one by one, and the Christian church would have died after it was bora. Tongues of Fire ipHERE SEEMS to be something * mystic, mystezious and unreal about the Holy Spirit, to most peo ple’s minds. We read in Acts about the flaming tongues of fire, about the rushing| mighty wind, Christians talking in guages; and then we go to our own church and find there no fire, no wind; only ordinary English is spoken by everyday people, the same people we have been seeing all week. We get to thinking the Holy Spirit Is just something in the Bible, some experience they could have away back yonder, but not here and now. After all, looking over the church from that day to this, and around the world at the present day, how many cases, authentic genuine cases of fire-on-the-head or storm-in-toe- church-house, do you find? Not many! Does that show the Holy Spirit is not here any more? We mast remember that St Paul met with mach the same - questions. Did a man have to speak in strange tongues to be sure he had the Holy Spirit? Fortunately, Paul stated In so many words what the fntKs of the Spirit are: Love, Joy, peace ... Look np the rest of It In Gal. 5:22-23. You may take St Paul’s in spired word for .it: If you ever see a church, a Christian group, that is notable for love, joy, peace . . . gentleness, goodness, faith . . . you may be sure the Holy Spirit is there. We do not gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles, Jesus says. You don’t have the fruits of the Spirit without having the Spirit. And that is Power. Said a great Austral ian preacher: Show me a church where the members treat one an other with more real love than the people outside the church treat one another, and you will find men crowding the doors of that church to get in. • • • How Can We Get the Holy Spirit? t*TE CANNOT GET the Spirit by wishing ourselves back in toe first century. We can have the Holy Spirit now, on the same terms as always. There are no new condi tions, no complicated rules, no ap plication blanks to fill out. Jesus said: God will give toe Holy Spirit to them that Ask him; Paul said: Covet earnestly toe best gifts. In any church, if there la even a Email group who want the power of God In their l(ves. who want his power for the church, that little group can change that church and change the community. Power pasoea through a wire when one end of it is attached to a dynamo and the other end to a ma chine that is doing some work. • Prayor—that is the touch with God. Service—that is toe link'with man. So power will flow through the Church when at one end it is In touch with God,, and at too other end it is doing something real for human needs.
