We have had an unusual winter in which little outdoor work could be engaged in. When it was not too cold it was too wet. Men engaged in factory work have been only having em­ ployment part time due to the curtailment o f orders. No fa c ­ tory desires to close down the plant f o r overhead and dividends to stockholders can not be met only by continuous operation at a profit. Without business there is nothing to do but close down.' This directly effects the purchasing power o f the average consumer, who must curtail along all lines. The retail mer­ chant soon finds his shelves loaded with goods and no orders fo r merchandise can be given the salesman, This completes the cycle and brings all classes o f business on the same level as we find it today, There are many things that can be undertaken that will- aid the employment situation. W e all have certain things about the homes, stores and manufacturing plants that must be kept in good repair. No better time than right now to get help fo r some o f this work. No doubt your screen doors or windows need repair, There is papering and refiriishing on the interior o f the home or store, both o f which can be done 'du ring the early spring. You can arrange to have the outside painting done just, as soon as the weather permits and from indications on the farm and in.town there is a vast amount o f property that needs protection from the elements by repainting. We can all aid in the unemployment situation by starting this spring work just a little sooner than in former years. It will mean much to men now out o f employment. By waiting you may not get labor so easy or when you want it. LO ST— ONE $ 1 5 ,0 0 0 IRON BR IDGE The official examination o f conditions in Clinton county and the grand jury indictments brings to light some unusual things. The state authorities are aiding the county prosecutor in .trying to find a $15,000 steel bridge that evidently has been lost. The examiners have found where the county paid fo r one but the commissioners, county engineer or other authorities do not know where the bridge went, if one was ever delivered. Questionable road contracts, purchase o f material, road equipment and many other things resulted in the grand jury bringing in indictments against the county commissioners and county auditor, the latter having 52 charges laid .at his door. We have been informed the county commissioners have been men o f high standing in their county in the past and charges o f this nature has caused much comment in circles where they move. The present situation is the outcome o f boss domimtion in political affairs in Clinton county. A former saloon keeper, later lobbyist about the legislature, has been the directing force in that county, but always had a few good men around him to give his acts a semblance o f honest administra­ tion and respectability.. This same ex-saloon keeper is now lo­ cated in Columbus where he purchased a fine home in an ex­ clusive district at a handsome price. Back home his friends must fight to escape prison sentences if the charges are proven. This same ex-saloon keeper is managing the campaign of Greene county’s “ reform” candidate for congress. The stale should also investigate the intention o f a bill introduced in the Ohio legislature a few years back in beha lf o f a certain educa­ tional institution. The hill was defeated not so much on account o f the institution interested as it was a plan to rob the state o f several hundred thousand dollars in the purchase, o f certain land, live stock and equipment. The bill was introduced by one who terms himself a “ reformer/* whatever that means. JUST HUMANS B y Gene Carr AN EXAMPLE.

ADULT TOP­ IC—Take Heed How Ye Hear. In this thirteenth chapter of Mat­ thew the "mysteries.1' of the kingdom are unfolded. By "mystery" In the Scriptures Is mount truth undiscover- able by human reason, mude known by revelation. The seven parables of this chapter set forth In a most graphic manner the admixture of moral and spiritual affairs In the world between Christ's ascension and -return to the •arth. I. The Sower <y, 3 ). The sower Is not named In this pnr* able. In the parable of tb * wheat and tares, the sower Is the Son of Man (v. 87), It Is evident that the sower In this case Is the Lord Jesqs Christ. Through the centuries He has been sowing the seed of divine truth by means of prophets, apostles and ministers. -• II. The Kind of Soil (vv. 4 - 8 } 10 - 23). The soil Is the human heart (v. 19), The seed* sown Is .the Word of' God (v. ,10). The difference of results lies In the condition of the soil, which In turn Is the state of the human heart. Notwithstanding ' the faithfulness of the sower and the purity of the seed, the results of preaching (Sod's Word depend upon the'condition of the hu­ man heart This parable reveals four kinds of soil or lienrers. 1. The wayside, oi hard-hearted hearer (v. 4, cf. v. 19). The wayside means the track beat­ en down by the hoofs of animals and the feet of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the seed could not get beneath the surface, therefore was devoured by the fowls. The great truth taught IS that" the heart unbroken and hard is not favor­ able .soil: for the gospel. 2. The stony places, or superficial hearers (vv. 5, 6, cf. vv. 20, 21). This means stones with a thin layer of soil, upon them. Under such condi­ tions the seed springs up quickly, but likewise scorches quickly. Hearts su­ perficially Impressed- receive God’s Word with Joy, but when persecution and trials come they are not able to endnre. 3. The thorny ground, or pre-occu- pled hearers (v. 7. cf. v. 22). ' ’ In this case the ground Is gOod, mel­ low enough and of sufficient depth, but has thorns in It. Such really hear the Word o f . God, but the cares o f this world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts o f other things, entering In choke the Word and It be­ comes unfruitful (Mark; 4:19)1 Many are the "thorny ground'" hearers o f this nge. The good seed cannot mature because (1) o f world- llness. Men and women.arc complete­ ly absorhed In the things o f business and are burdened, with care (2) The deceitfulness of riches. Anxious care In business brings riches to many. The effect of riches is to blunt the spiritual perception of men. (3) Lusts of other things entering in. This means the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word of God. Many of the enjoyments of the world may. be Inno­ cent in themselves, but they attract so much attention and consume iso much energy and time that one has no time for Bible reading, meditation and prayer. 4. The good ground, or fruitful bear­ ers (v. 8. cf. v, 23). "But other fell Into good ground and brought forth fru it" This ground dif­ fered from all the rest. It was mellow, deep and moist therefore It was capa­ ble of bringing forth fruit, a hundred, some sixty and some thtrtyfold. In the measure that the heart' is kept free from ' worldlness, riches and pleasures, the good seed matures. III. The Purpose of Teaching In Parables (w , 10 - 17 ). There Is much misapprehension con­ cerning teaching In parables. The para­ bolic method of teaching makes clear the truth to those that love it but con­ ceals It from those who have a dis­ taste for It Jesus did not teach by parables till the rulers had set their hearts agnlnst Him. When In the light of His miracles and wonderful works they turned agnlnst him and attrib­ uted Ills works to the devil, Ho de­ nounced them In. the most scnthlng terms and began to teach in parables, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Isai­ ah (Matt. 13M4, 15; cf. Isa. 0:9, 10), God Ever Ready to Protect God often strikes rtWay our props to bring us down upon his mighty srms. What strength, and peace It gives us to feel them underneath us!

MISS MARIE DAVIS "My trouble began with bad teeth and , then stomach and kidney ills developed," said Miss Marie Davis, Seventh Avenue Hotel, Cincinnati. "My stomach was so weak that I could not drink even water without distress. My weight went -from 120 down- to 95 pounds. I. walked the floor in agony from back pains, fo r sleep was out of the question, I was pale and weak and. rapidly nearing complete prostra­ tion. I could not find a. medicine that would help me. "Right from the -beginning o f my treatment with Konjola, my health began to improve. As the accumulated poisons were swept from my system new health came back. My stomach grew strong and I began to eat nour­ ishing foods without distress. My kidneys grew better, and now function perfectcly. The pain which formerly attacked my back passed away entire­ ly. I. gained ten pounds in five weeks. I shall always praise this master medicnie.” , Konjola is sold in Cedarville at Prowant & Brown drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. DEATH CLAIMS SARAH B, PURCELL Churches Will Take Census The pastors' o f the Cedarville churches have planned to take a religi­ ous census o f Cedarville and the sur­ rounding territory that belongs to the parishes o f the Cedarville Churches. The purpose of such a survey is to ascertain the exact .religious status o f our community in order . that the churches may know just what their problems ate in this community. We often hear it said that this is an un­ usual community, and that we are. highly favored in having three strong churches and a good Christian College, and a good grade and high school. And yet -we must realize that the entire population o f this community are not found in our churches and Bible schools on the Lord’s Day. Such a' •survey may reveal some surprise^ but when completed, the record will show exactly how many o f our citizens are actually identified. with the Church, and how many are outside of the church. Prof. Steele’s class in Socio- ogy are to assist in this canvas, and the college and the churches ask the hearty and, cheerful co-operation o f all In helping us to tabulate this report, 'which we hope to have completed with­ in two weeks. The canvas will be made by four teams, two 'o f the participating churches being represented on each .earn.

A B O U T SPRING FLOWERS T HE Fairy Queen visited a hot­ house filled with flowers. It was evening and it was quite dark save for the torch which the Fairy Queen carried with'her. The Flower Fairy talked to the Fairy Queen and together they went about among the flowers with the Fairy Queen's torch lighting the way. "Ah," said the Flower Fairy, "there are the little tulips. Such bright, cheery flowers as they are, They and their crocus relatives close when Tt "Now Little Tulips Will Open Day and Night." is cool and open when the warm son shines upon them.

Such a collection of creatures she visited. She talked to a sparrow who told her that his family had been brought Over first to destroy cater­ pillars, but that they, had been regret­ ting it a good deal since as he had been pretty greedy himself about the crops. And by that, he meant his whole family. They talked to Old Rat. Old Rat said the reason he liked people was because they were untidy. “They leave crumbs around and so I thrive all over the world, as all over there are always some untidy people." Then she saw, later in the morning, when the rain and sun were having a talk, 'beautiful Mother Rainbow. ■ "Oh, Mother Rainbow,” she said, "do tell me what you have been doing lately," "Well,-my children and the Rain-' drop children have been having merry games, and yesterday we had a double rainbow.

Mother Rainbow asked. “Alas, I must this time,” said the Fairy Queen, “we have a. party this afternoon in Fairyland, But maybe' If I asked you, you might come?” "I’ll come," said Mother Rainbow; “If you ask the Raindrop children and my children and Mr. Sun.” “Hurrah 1” cried the Fairy Queen. “I’ll ask them all and what a party we will have!” (Copyright.)
