I'Mlur First Kaplial < hurrh
Now you cannot expect, my
children, that the murderer of a
Church will have many to mourn
his passing, at least not in a
Christian community. A moth
er's love will follow in sorrow-
to the grave even the worst kind
of a son, but it did not appear
that this one had a mother liv
ing to mourn his death or the
foul deed he had done. Perhaps
she had gone on to Glory, dying
of a broken heart been use of her
wayward son.
But if a -tranger had happen
ed in to this funeral service, he
would have thought that the de
ceased was loved by all who were
in attendance. That would have
meant the whole town, my chil
dren, and all the surrounding
communities. For as the people
passed by the opened casket, a
look of horror would come over
their faces. Many wept uncon
trollably Several fainted. One
was a man who hadn't been to
Church in more than twenty
years, except to funerals. And i
this was the first time he had
ever fainted. Five or six men,!
to say nothing of the older wo-
men, ran out of the building,
tearing their hair as though they
had suddenly been seised with
some sort of rare madness or
distemper.
This made those who had yet
to view the remains to become
more anxious and to shove in the
line a little harder. But alas
and alack! When they had pass
ed by, they, too, became stricken
with this same grief or strange
madness.
Finally, when all had passed
by, the casket was closed. Then
the pall bearers placed the cas-
ket in the hearse ur.d it was
driven slowly to the cemetery.
On arriving at what had been
chosen as the final resting pla-e
for this one who had murdered
a Church, the und' -taker got
out to open the door of the
hearse. The pall bearers jaine
and took their positions. Sud
denly the undertaker, along with
the pall-bearers, became aware
of a very strange and mystify-
ing something. It wa - enough
to make one's blood run cold;
yes, colder than the now congeal-
ed blood in the veins of the
corpse of this murderer! It was
that something which had slain
the Church !
My goodness! Here it is
twelve o'clock! You child.en
should have been in bed a long
time ago! So run along now.
You will just huve to wait until
next time for the rest of my
story.

RKAD THE CLASSIFIEDS
More Profitable Producers
From Balanced Ration*
"A balanced ration for your
sow., or gilts during gestation
will further your chances of raia
itig profitable producers," accord
ing to the New Mexico Fxtension
Service. "Although feeding it> not
the only factor involved, it will
enable the production of heavier
pigs at birth ami therby incieaese
their chances of survival."
An excellent protein supple-
ment for any swine but especial-
ly for bred sows is: 40 pounds of
cottonseed meal; 40 pounds of
tankage, meat scraps or fi.-ih
nual; and J<> pounds of green al-
falfa leaf meal. For a balanced
mixture for bred or nursing sows
mix 20 pounds of supplements
with SO pounds of grain.
