Using red clover as a green man-

Leon Massey harvests between
390 and 400 bushels of potatoes per

turning over one year’s growth of
clover every fourth year in hir

In my quiet room I talked with the Friend I love.
As He engineered His planets, His Stars, His suns;
My little world was what I was dreaming of,
My little day, and my own near precious ones.
And He with His hands on the universe, His eyes
Upon endless space and the sweep of eternity,
Bent above me, listening to my cries,
And,forgetting my faults and failures, answered me.

With considerably less fire hazard,
although any petroleum product
can burn if it is brought in contact
with a source of ignition.
When a small amount of solvent
is to be used the work can be done
indoors safely enough. If the fluid
can burn, just be careful to use it
where there are no nearby sources
of ignition and don’t smoke or
light matches while you are hand-
ling the fluid.
However, when a large job is
to be done, such as cleaning an
entire dress or a pair of overalls
or removing grease from a num-
ber of tools which may require
two or three quarts of solvent used
over a period of perhaps half an
hour. Do the work outdoors, stand
so that vapors will be carried away
from you, not towards you, and
allow the cleaned articles to dry
thoroughly before you bring them
indoors. When you are finished, if
your hands feel dry, wash with
lukewarm water and rub a cream

men really are bigger, and Stephen
was one of these. He spilled over,
so to speak; he had even more en-
ergy and ability than the job called
for. We hear of him debating
around the synagogue circuit par-
ticularly in the synagogues which
were used by Jews from other
parts of the world.
We have no details of those
debates, but we know how they
always came out: Stephen got
the decision. We can guess,
from his great speech in the
hour of his death, what his gen-
eral line must have been.
Many Christians in Jerusalem at
that time had little or no idea that
Christianity was actually a new re-
ligion; even the name “Christian”
had not been thought of. They con-
sidered it a form of the Jewish
religion.

their eyes, Stephen knew his time

words he reminded them that mur-

had killed Jesus the “Just One.”
And now—. Now they dragged
Stephen out and stoned him till he

Wrastling is an Honest Sport,
But Love is a Different Story
_____By BILLY ROSE----------------------
The other night at Lindy’s, I was introduced to a Popocate-
petl of a man named Ezaklios Pappanokiyulikos, the Greek wrest-
ler__better known-to the toe-hold set as the Hooded Cobra.
“You inressid"in wrastling?” the mash-and-maul artist asked
pleasantly.
“Not particularly,” I said. "I hear tell the busmess is full of
crooks.”
“Is wrong,” said the Cobra. “In United Schnapes, wrastling is mos
honest sport what can be. Why? Because no wan bet. Is lak betting on

Committee Chairman
HIHE APOSTLES, being called on,
• refused to straighten the tangle
themselves. Let the church elect a
committee, they said. First on the
list was a man named Stephen. He
turned out to be most famous for
being the first Christian martyr,
but when he fell unconscious be-
neath that shower of. stones, there
died no ordinary man.
To begin with, he filled the
bill as chairman of that Com-
mittee on Grievances. Not
many men, then or now, could
fill all three qualifications the
Apostles required: reputation,
spirituality, and wisdom.
It takes a very tactful man to
settle a difficulty in which women
are concerned; it takes tact to
handle any committee; it takes
tact to manage a inter-racial sit-
uation; it calls for wisdom to handle
funds.

Brahman Cattle May Vie
With Many Domestic Kine
Cattle imported from India may
some day compete with established
beef‘cattle breeds in the markets
of the midwest, according to many
livestock experts. One Nebraska
farmer, a hybrid corn pioneer, be-
lieves Brahmfins will be as popular
as domestic breeds in the next few
years.
Corn belt farmers scattered thin-
ly from Nebraska to Ohio are ex-
perimenting with Brahmans and
crosses of Brahmans on regular
beef herds.'
Do Brahman beef calves weigh
80 to 100 pounds more by weaning
age and dress out two to four per
cent higher than the usual run of
cattle? Do they make economical
feedlot and pasture gains and en-
dure heat and insects better than
other cattle? These are some of the
questions to which it is hoped an-
swers will be found through the
studies and experiments being
conducted.

QTEPHEN’S SPEECH at his trial
(Acts 7) may sound dull to
some now, but it was not dull to
the audience. No man makes a
dull speech on the brink of death.
Further, it was that speech that
got him killed. His listeners may
not have liked it, but they certain-
ly did not think it dull! The beauty
of the speech is that it reveals
Stephen’s keen insight into the re-
ligious history of his people.
Speaking without notes, he
reviews the history of close to
2,000 years in a 10-minute
talk, and yet brings out the
main points. Only a real schol-
ar can do that, a man who is
both historian and prophet.
The most important peaks in
Israel’s history were God’s
revelations to them; and
Stephen shows that these revel-
ations had never been tied to a
house or a book.
No institutions and no place is
indispensable to God. The same
God who had wrought new things
in the past had now wrought a new
thing in Christ. And the religion of
thing in Christ.

Year’s day. Bill started in pictures
as an extra, in 1919, in C. B. De-
Mille’s “Why Change Your Wife;”
in 1934 he really hit his stride,
starring in the “Hopalong Cassidy”
series, and has never played any-
thing else since. “I fell in love with
the part,” he says; the part has
piled up a fortune for him. And the
way the public almost mobs him
at personal appearances is proof
of his popularity.

Housewives in rural areas some-
t times find it inconvenient to send
; clothes out to be dry cleaned and
. therefore do the work themselves.
For this purpose, they may go to
t a nearby automobile service sta-
; tion and buy gasoline or to a hard-
, ware store or general store and
buy “cleaning fluid.”
Gasoline is intended to make
motors operate and should never
be employed as a solvent because
of its great flammability. There
are some specially refined petrole-
um products available with clean-
ing and degreasing properties
- somewhat like those of gasoline but
man an’ do not like cheatin’ poor,
ignorant peoples. So I decide to be
fair and lose—I even bet all I got
on Aloicio.
"Well, at first is very good
match. For twanny minoot we
poosh, mak noises an’ stick fin-
gers in eyes. An’ then Aloicio says,
'Is too hot to wrastle more. I
take fall soon.’
“I am smart an’ say nothing, an’
minute later I fall on back with
Aloicio on top. But Aloicio is smart,
too. 'Oh, no,’ he says, an’ begins to
fight dirty. An’ before raferee can
count tree, he twist my arm round
his head so I got headlock. Then he
geeve jerk, mak like he trip over
my leg, an’ fall on hees head. Only
he fall harder than he think an’ gats

“Queeck, I jump on heem, mak-

legs— no one can tell who got who.
Then I feenish up on my back.

The storm lasted two days. It
took another day for a rescue party
to get through. They took the three
of them down to Jackson and to a
hospital. Guy was put into a room
by himself and fed. Then he went
to sleep.
When he awoke Mr. Moore was
standing by his bed. “Feeling bet-
ter, son? Good. How about a story
on your experiences? That man you
saved was Senator Ostrand.
“The lady wasn’t his wife at
all. See what I mean? You
want a job and we want a
story, because Ostrand is on
the opposition ticket. Here’s
your chance, boy.”
Guy closed his eyes. Well, why
not? he thought. After all, a man
has to live, has to look out for him-
self. Why not? Why not? The
thought kept pounding against his
brain. Then he opened his eyes.
“Sorry,” he said. “Sorry, that
isn’t the kind of job I’m after.”

An American visitor to England
had just returned to his native
United States with a slight British ’
accent and numerous stories of his
travels. He was relating some of
his experiences to a group of
friends when one of them asked if
he had done any shooting.
"Oh, yes,” he replied, "I did
quite a bit of shooting I was most
successful, though, when I shot at
Lord Baddieton’s county seat.”
“Didja hit it?” asked another
eagerly.

got out. The man was nearly ex-
hausted; his face frost bitten.
Guy got him inside the car and
turned on the heater full, speeding
up the motor. Presently the man
looked at him wild-eyed. “My wife!
She’s sick. We’re stuck—up the
road.”
Guy thought quickly. There
was the shack. Apparently the
man had passed it in the
storm. It must be close by. At
any rate, it was their only
chance.
p FTERWARD, Guy wondered how
he’d found the shack, or what
it was that kept him going when
the desire to lie down and sleep
and forget everything was so
strong. It was all like a dream—
the way he’d stumbled against the
shack itself, found the door and fell
inside. He remembered that the
wind and cold were shut out. Then
he remembered the sick woman.
The place he’d found was a road
camp. There was a stove and wood
and a few cans of food on the shelf.
He got a fire going and placed
water on to boil. Then he lunged
out into the storm again, fought his

WASN’T SENOR Ramon sore?”
I asked.
“I no wait for Ramon,” ex-
plained the Cobra. “I slip out of the
arena, then out of town, then out of

Just then, a good-looking woman
pushed her way through Mr. Lindy’s

ler at my table, and began jaber-

Besides, the way he felt, it
wouldn’t make much difference if
anything did happen to him. Not
even if he perished in the drifts or
froze to death. Death would solve
all his problems. It would be a re-
lief from worry and hopelessness
and bleak despair.
Foolish though for a young man
26 years old. But young men can
sometimes become pretty wild and
desperate in their thoughts. Guy
remembered Mr. Moore’s cynical
smile. “Sorry, son,. we haven’t a
place for you. Full up.”
"But not good reporters.
I’ve had experience, Mr.
Moore. I’m a good writer. I
always scrape up a new angle
to a story that makes interest-
ing reading. Besides—” There
was desperation in Guy’s tone,
because Mr. Moore had begun
shuffling papers on his desk.
"When I wrote inquiring about
a job you said you'd be glad to
talk to me.”
He had driven all the way up
from Denver—1,000 miles—because
Mr. Moore had said he’d talk to
him. It had taken nearly his last
dollar to buy enough gas to make
the trip. Now he had nothing left
but the 5-year-old car. Just about
enough to get him back home, from
which he’d started out six months
ago, bound and determined to land
a job on a newspaper.
Toward noon Guy understood
why the filling station man had
warned him. The snow formed an
impenetrable wall. The wind was

"Who’s the lady?” I asked,
when we were alone again.
"Wife of Senor Ramon,” said
the Cobra. "When she gat final
divorce, she become Meesus Pap-

“I thought you said wrestling was
