Which position as with all other controversial issues may or may not he right, but certainly right at this time former objections to paying the bonus have rapidly disappeared from the public mind.

THE BOOK .... the first tine of which reads "The Holy Bible," and which contains Four Great Treasures .... By BRUCE BARTON ESTHER The story comes late in the Old Testament chronology, dealing with the period when there were numerous Jews in Mesopotamia, descendants of those who were carried away captive by Nebuchadnezzar in 5S6 B. C. A hundred years had passed and, while many Jews hnd returned to Palestine, others were settled in different parts of the big unwiedly Persian kingdom, ruled over by Ahasuerus. Mordecai was plotted against by a politician named Hainan, who thru misrepresentation caused the king to promulgate a decree of massacre against the Jews. It was at this crisis that Mordecai went to Esther, demanding . that she go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. She replied that no one was per nutted to approach the king without being sent for by name and that the; penalty of disobedience was death. In noble words Mordecai argued the case, and at length Esther was persuaded. Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shush an (she replied), and fast ye for me. and neither cat mi" drink three "lays, night or day: I also and my maiden will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish. The third day came. Modestly, but with firm step and head erect, she moved into the inner court where sat Ahasuerus on his mighty throne. There was an awful moment of suspense while the courtiers watched with bated breath to see what destruction would descend upon this girl who had dared to break the law. But her beauty was irresistible. The king held out his scepter, the sign of royal recognition. Esther knelt and touched it and made her plea and won. A new decree was promulgated; the Jews were restored to favor and began promptly to take advantage of their opportunities to g"ow rich. Hainan by poetic justice was hanged on the high gallows which he had built for Mordecai. The finest passage in the whole book is Mordecai*s ringing answer to Esther when she hesitated to approach the king arguing that her feeble strength and abilities could not possibly prevail in such an. emergency: These words have rung down the jtfk corridors of Time as an undying chal- : (ler.ge to the courage and faith of j vouUi. *L.et no faint heai tedness turn i vcti aside from the duty to which you: i are clearly called, no matter how | hard that duty may be or how much ! apparently beyond your powers." gjjf j and who knoweth whether i j thou art come to the kingdom for j 1 such a tfme as this? ' Xovt Week: Mary, the Mother of Jesus. ! The Family Doctor Bv OR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES THE EXPECTANT MOTHER By all odds the nearest to a mira-1 c?e that we perform is the reproduc- j tion of our race. I can not think of i i anything: more wonderful than the art? j of caring for the young mother. The! j advice gi\ en in this letter is of the \ j utmost importance. There is nothing more natural than 1 j that the healthy young wife should , hear children. It is a perfectly natu1 rai process, and need not cause the! J least damage when intelligently man-: jagtd. .There is a great wave of dread in : the country -dread of the baby, the i young mother pictures herself as the} j victim of all sorts of accidents; now j jhere is my first advice, do not ask i ] ! your neighbor's opinion of ehiiu-bear- ; j' ng; she may have been subject to | neglect, or. indeed, cruel treatment: j she may not have had a careful phv Isician; she may not have been a heal- i thy woman to begin with. The way j for you to do when you suspect preg- j j nancy is to consult the best physi- j ciar. you know, get the one that most! Women recommend. Then, keep in ; I close touch with him that he may guide your case to a happy tcrminai tion. My chief advice in this letter is. 1 | be advised by your physician anil not by your friends;and neighbors. This is highly important. The avoidance of bearing children for economy's sake is poor policy; no industrious ybuhg couple should? have fewer than two childrtii See j your physician at least every month: jj have him examine the urine and keep I.he bowels and kidneys acting normallv. The young mother makes a health- , . ler woman than the young wife who j} avoids pregnancy. Tt is woman's mis- 1 sion to hear children? the highest j privilege on earth. MAi'LK SPKINt.S SCHOOLS KNI>S SI CCKSSri I. TE1.M 1 The school at Maple Springs came to a close Friday, May 10. The com- [ j mencenient was a huge success, the i building overflowing with school pat rons and visitors. Very interesting j talks were made by teachers and loj cal committeemen. I The seventh grade graduating j class consisted of fifteen members. We arc proud to say that Aryilie FosI ter, a pupil of Maple Springs, made I the highest grade on the State cx| animation of anyone in our district. | He delivered the valedictory. Patrons [of the school feel that this has been | the most successful year in the his- . i tory of education in this community, 11 and count themselves lucky for hav- [ ing Mi. Z. T. Greene, Miss Annie Ale-1 Neill, Miss Ruby Parsons and Mrs.) Leonard Mikeal with them again dur-j ing the past term. Mrs. Mikeal, Miss) Parsons anil Mr. Greene are Watau-1 gas contribution to Maple Springs School. The teachers were very active in church work. Mr. Greene has been 1 the leader of singing for the past eight months, while the others are ac- 1 tive members of the Sunday School classes. Their going away will be a { great loss to the community, but thinking of the eight months of service they have rendered to us, we can heartily say, "Well done, my good and faithful servants; you deserve a rest." I Mr. Greene was followed from I church Sunday by a large number of cars. While he was putting his automobile in the garage about one hundred and fifty surprise guests had gathered on the lawn. A bounteous picnic dinner was served, after which the guests gathered in the living room and beautiful music was rendered by Miss Imogene Greene and Mrs. Pearl Cock. Maple Springs people extend to Mrs. I Greene their sincere thanks for the many kindnesses she has shown her neighbors.?Reported. 3-s>aE PLANT WAGON will l>e in Boone and West Jefferson next Friday and Saturday.
