Several days ago James Boyle, of the State Tax Commission, visited the county on a tour of inspection as to the returns being made by the as­ sessors. It is intimated -that re­ turns so far at the Columbus office indicate a decided falling off in tho state duplicate over last year. It is for this reason that the state officials are making every effort to keep the duplicate up. * A number of reasowtecan be given for the slump this year. It is gen­ erally ■admitted that farmers have not the amount of live, stock as they had last season. The price of stock this year is not as high as last. Last year valuations -were taken beginning in February while this year they: were reckoned from April. The agri­ cultural interests objected to Febru­ ary as listing time in that the farm­ ers Would not have,disposed of their stock. Now the stock is gone and the tax officials are having a time en­ deavoring to land on the money. It is predicted that there will be a change back in that-failure to get the money will mean listing the stock’, which can. be located. Another factor in the loss of prop­ erty is the thousands of dollars that have been invested in non-taxable stocks and bonds. Hundreds of peo­ ple investee, this last year in the hope, of escaping taxes which was proper under our present laws, , It is said that so low are some of the returns over the state that the tax commissioners will .compel'a re­ valuation. in the low section counties. Especially are people leaving out their household furniture, watches, pianos, etc. It appears, that people are continually trying to find some new scheme to evade..a constitutional requirement in that each property holder must support the government by a just and equal share o f taxes, ' Greene county is probably not much different from ofchHf counties m. the state and for this reason the ; state commission is exercising care ; to have the District Assessors locate Alt property. It is said that District Assessor R. L. Gowdy is- making an investigation, of all returns.as to household furniture, watches, pianos, etc. Hy-Kl hair tonie either In 50 cent or UM bottles.

SELLERS, Acdcir Director of Sunday School Conrco, Tho Moody Dlhlo ■ Institute, Chicago, III) LESSON FOR MAY 2 SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVID, LESSON T E X T —I Samuel 19:1-12. GOLDEN T E X T —Whoso putteth hli trust In the Lord shall be safe.—Prpv. Although u^lntecl by Samuel, vic­ torious in arms and promoted at court, David was many years In reaching bin throne. At first both court and .army did him honor (cli. 18:2), yet he con­ ducted himself with great modesty (18:18, 23). He also obeyed the king explicitly though he knew fully,that, he was the God-appointed successor of Saul. Escapes as wonderful and as providential ps David’s occur In the lives of most of us if we could but know them. I, David and Jonathan, w. 1-3. The story of the love of David and Jona­ than is a classic, With such close family relations and a son-in-law so successful at arms it is strange that Saul’s anger should vent Itself upon David. At first Saui was much at­ tached to David but the admiration of the people for David aroused his jeal­ ousy, (ch. 18:6) and jealousy 1 b pecu­ liarly a soldier’s disease. The slave of jealousy never has peace, -As sin and disobedience developed in his life Saul became subject to fits of insane rage during one of which, as David played upon his harp and endeavored to quiet the monarch’s spirit, he hurled a javelin, which served as his scepter, at tho harpist (ch. 19:10te Saul felt that David was divinely' protected and he knew- that God had departed from his own life (15:23; 16:14). Saul did not keep his grief and rage to himself for Jonathan and the nation alike knew all about it. II. Saul and Jonathan, w, 4-7, It took courage and self-sacriflco on Jonathan’s part to speak on behalf of David. Prudence and principle are combined ih Jonathan's plea. Those who envy includqin their hate and anger all who spew kindly in behalf of their enemy. But Jonathan’s, argu­ ment (w, 4, 6) is unanswerable. David had not Binned agafnst Saul; it was Jehovah who “wrought a great salvation.for all Israel” on the day David took his life In hts hand and overcame Goliath, Jonathan pleads for God an well as 'for his Jtrfend. •He called to Snul’a. memory his former Joy at seeing Jehovah’B victory through David and for the time being Saul was persuaded (v. 6) ahd made another of those impetuous promises which proved ao fleeting. Ushered by Jonathan (Matt 6:9) David returned to Saul’s presence, entered once more upon the discharge of hit duties and desisted only when he saw that hi* presence only aggravated the king and that ha wo* uselessly exposing his life- la Saul'* presence, Divid was faith­ ful tQGod and to God's anointed king Ilf. MJchal and David, w . 8-12, Saul'* hatred waa too deep to ho per­ manently overcome. David went out and won a great' victory over the Phi­ listine* hnd a* he followed lit* courtly duty, Saul burst out with n fresh at­ tack fw, 8, 9). David had married MI,dial when about twenty-one years of ago and Saul’s attacks occurred dur­ ing tho next three years. The evil spirit mentioned was a demon (18:10; Acts 16:16-18; Mark 1:23-26), a mes­ senger or Satan permitted by God for Saul’s discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God permits evil to come upon inen not to tempt them—solicit them to do wrong —but to bring them to repentance or to refine them aa pure gold. Thus evil may be said to do God’s work (ch, 4:1) “to bo spat from Jehovah." IV. Summary, AH who envy arc murderers atheart (Matt, 27:18;.I John 8:12, 1C).1 The present day murderers hurl their Javelins « f slander, lying and vituperation against the reputa­ tion of tho men whom they hate. Or else they hurl unfair and unjust busi­ ness methods at others that they may perpetuate their power or else build themoelvrs up upon the ruins of those whom they envy. Saul missed David hut ho was no less a murderer. Satan always overshoots tho mark when he assails one of God’s anointed, chosen ones. Saul could not harm David though ho wished to ever so much (Pa. 37:32, 33; Isa. G4;17; Luke 4:30; 10:30). Saul's hatred stopped not even at the threshold of David's house but invaded the sacred precincts of his home. Envy is blind, it assails all that a man has, spares none with whom ho is' connected and colors ev­ ery act and relation of life even to the relations of father and child. Raul wan frustrated by his own children, Jonathan and Michal, David’s danger was imminent, hence his speedy es­ cape. Men arc strong in so far ats they see God's purpose and discipline in their lives, Saul’s experience at Naioth (w. 23, 24) w'as a response of his emotional nature" to a religious appeal, another time when God was waiting to be gracious. Divested of hia armor and outer robes Saul lay in a trance, overcome by the power of him who turns the hearts of men as rivers of water. The wrath of man is mado to praise him, the life of tho prophet Is pre­ served and likewise tho life of his ■errant David. 'Enjoying Life.
