How often a blundering advocate allows him self to be dragged into futile argu ment, when by throwing the burd en back on to his opponent’s shoulders he could attain an easy mastery. Jesus seldom argued. The record of his questions is a fruitful study for all of us who, in our every-day affairs, must deal with other minds. Let us recall two of those questions. The Pharisees set a trap for him. One Sabbath day they hunted up Bruce Barton a man with a withered hand and deposited him in the Tem ple where Jesus would be sure to pass. Then they waited. If Jesus healed him, it would be a breach of the Code, which forbade any activity on the Sabbath. They would have that to recall when the crisis came. Jesus sensed the test and met it without hesitation. “Stand forth,” he said to the poor chap. The bigoted formalists pushed in close. This was their moment. They had dug the pit cleverly and now he was about to fall in. The soft light went out of Jesus’ eyes, the muscles of his jaw grew tense, he looked “round on them with anger,” as he demanded: “Is it unlawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” He waited for an answer but none came. What could they say? If they replied that the law for bade a good deed, their answer would be repeated all over town. The crowd of common folks who followed him were his friends, not theirs—only too glad to spread a story which would cast discredit on the proud defenders of the law. The Pharisees had sense enough to recognize that fact, at least. They “held their peace,” and sullenly slipped away. On another day it was ms own disciples who learned how he could compress a whole philosophy into a well-directed interrogation. They were by no means free from the frailties of ordinary human nature. They fussed about little things— arguing among themselves as to who should have preeminence; wondering how their bills were to be met, and just where the whole enterprise was coming out. He brought them up short with a question. “Which of you by being anxious can add a single day to his life?” he demanded. “And if you can’t do this simple thing, why worry a bout the rest? Consider the rav ens; they don’t sow or reap; they have no store-houses or barnes, and yet God takes care of them. Don’t you suppose that you are of more value in his sight than a flock of birds?” How trival seemed their concern and controversy after a question like that! Prospects are good for a heavy peach crop in Rutherford County this year, say those growers who have recently completed their dor mant spraying. School Projects Completed In County Raleigh, Mar. 15.—Public school projects numbering 869 and cost- i ing $517,862 have been completed I in 66 counties of the State as a part of the work relief program of the State, the Governor’s office of Relief reports. This school work, all approved in advance by the State Superintend ent of Public Instruction, in volved construction of buildings, additi son to buildings, construction of gymnasiums and physical educa tion rooms, painting, repairing, planting, leveling and beautifying grounds, digging wells, improving bus routes, constructing bus wait ing rooms for children, and other projects. Local communities have provided the materials and equip ment for the work, the cost of labor alone coming from relief funds. Halifax county has completed five projects at a total cost of $2, 026.00, the report shows.

Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle j and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There’s usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold, headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it freely, it does not hurt the heart. __ NO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN WITHOUT THIS CROSS vjy Mesdames Hugh Camp, Howard Pruden, Bohnson Weathers and Wm.
