C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. ; Address all communications to The Enterprise PRAYKR FOR -AND AGAINST RAIN Lots of people are praying for dry +- weather, while many are praying for rain, according to statements from the papers. • it seems that in some sections there are certain religious sects which are praying for such dry weather that tobacco will die, simply because they are against the use of tobacco. Cer tainly, they are not to be blamed for being against tobacco. They could not be prefectly clean Christians without being against it. They must be mistaken, however, when they think that God has given them the power to change the weather condi tions. The Word of God is full of prom ises that He will change the heart, mind, and conscience of people who will ask in prayer for such help. Man is promised the power to change his attitude toward God, when he will be met by God Himself. Hut nowhere I in the Hook is there any promise that God has given over the wind, the rain, cot the seasons to man. Such ideas could be counted more than foolish ness, because no mun knows just when he needs rain and sunshine half so well as the God who made all things. Again, it is an unwillingness to trust God's promise. He made the sun, the moon, the stars, all the plan ets, and the wind and the waters as An Appreciation and Notice of Candidacy To see every voter who so kindly favored me with his or her vote in the primary on June sth is next to impossible, so by this method and with all sin - cerity, I wish to express my appreciation to those who cast their vote for me. My obligation to them is to be measured in no small way, and win or not, in or out of office, I will always feel it my duty to attempt to repay the kindnesses, and to do so with the greatest of pleasures. The second primary takes place on July 3rd and it is my hope that every voter in Martin county" will visit the polls that day and cast his or her vote. I assure you that every vote accorded me will be received gratefully and the confidence will be long remembered by me. ♦♦ . ' - 41T As to service, I pledge my every effort, and if nominated and elected by the good people of this County I vouch that it will be a real pleasure for me to be able to carry out the duties of the office of sheriff. • ■ , —' —^ '■ : : : —■ •"•"■ • I — ,m ' ' fTT Humbly asking every vote possible in the primary on July 3rd, I beg to remain, Yours very truly, . u .

All this was well fixed long before man was made. Now, it would be unnatural for (God to change such t fine plan simply because trustless men fear they will not get abundant ■ crops. Prayers for rain are doubtless in- j spired more by selfishness and greed than they are from real fear of star vation. And, too, the fellow who has so little faith in God's promise that He will sustain us will perhaps have very little influence before the throne of God. We do not minimize prayer nor the need for prayer, yet it is a dreaful thing to try to use it for commercial purposes in order that we may grow rich and have a good time on earth. PENNSYLVANIA'S $2,000,000 PRI - " r "" - Republican politics in Pennsylvania huve reached such a point that the G. O. P. is liable to be junked in that State. In the recent contest for U. S. Senator there was spent in the in terest of the three candidates more than two million dollars. This alone will probably lead to the unseating of Vare, the candidate who won in the contest, if he suc ceeds in the November election, at which time it may be that a coalition COW ON TEST SHOWS NEED OP SUMMER GRAIN For several yean dairy authori ties have expressed the opinion that cow owners could not rely on pas ture slime for milk snd make money ili the long fun l»y dolus It. 80 far, however, this has been largely the ory, and It is only very recently that resl evidence has been obtained to settle the question. For two whole year* several cows have lieen unrtw ob»rvatlon at the I .arm Research Farm, Bedford, Michigan, where the comparative value of grata and pasture was test ed out to their complete satisfaction. The record of cdW No. 76 during 1034 and 1(«8 la typical of the re suits obtained. She Is an ordinary grade Ilolstelu, a pretty good pro ducer and as good a cow as could have been chosep for such sn ex periment. Throughout her whole lactation In 1924, this cow wns kept On a grain ration, with absolutely ,no pasture. She produced as high as 39 lbs. per day, and kepi up a good, even milk flow, averaging 31 lbs. per day throughout tbe milking period. Towards the end of the 1034 lac tation, cow No. 70 showed an entire ly normsl decline In nitlk produc tion. She WHS In splendid condi tion as the result of her year-round grain ration, and gave evidence of this fact by starting off her 1926 lactation by produclm: up to 47 lbs. of inllk per day—B lbs. higher than her perform aw-e In the preceding year. On May 10, I»2R, this cow went on pasture. For ten days her milk production tuoved up. but after ihe first stimulus of the (jrass tonic wore off, she fell steadily in milk as her grain ration was reduced. ! Two months after slie went on pasture, when she was getting only 2 lbs. of grain per dsy, she had fallen from 40 lbs. of milk per day to 22H lbs. This was true thongb pasture was plentiful and good. She simply was not getting sufficient nourishment of the right kind, and her milk yield was cut practically In half. The production continued to drop off until the 280 th day. when shs was producing only 10 lbs. dally, as against 28 lbs. dally In the previous lactation at the same time. No dairyman could ask for more convincing proof that reliaace on grass alone is coetly, and that a reg ular grain ration, with pasture throughout the summer, pays r-i>l dividends In sallk production. * ' ' - t of the Democrats and anti-adminis tration Republicans may defeat Vare.
