Granville Bar Nettled By Judge Stevens' Act (Oxford Public Ledger.) Indignation was rampant among members of the bar and their clients in civil actions set for the July term of Granville Superior Court when it became known Wednesday that Judge Henry L. Stevens. Jr., had adjourned the mixed term of court Tuesday afternoon and left for his home in Warsaw. Monday and Tuesday were spent in clearing the criminal docket and members of the bar had set the civil docket for Wednesday and Thursday. One of six divorce cases set for Wednesday was tried Tuesday, hut the others, including two other cases, were ordered continued by Judge Stevens. Five additional civil actions were on the calendar for Thnisda>. The judge made no explanation in open court for his decision to con tinue the civil cases, but privately he told a member of the bar that he had planned to take his wue and son to the beach for :i few days. The action «»»' the SJi.ODO-a-year judge in leaving his judicial duties in Granville incomplete brought frustration of plans t<> at least one young couple. One plaintiff who had expected a divorce decree on Wed nesday, had purchased her trousseau and made plans for a second wedding to take place Saturday. The wedding now must wait another term of court and the expected decree. Attorney Green from Louisburg, who was appearing in a civil action set for trial Wednesday, drove to Oxford only to find the judge had gone. The expressed indignation had be come so warm about the court house Wednesday afternoon that already a i move had gained strong support tc j have drawn and introduced in the ' 1941 session of the Legislature a bi!' i providing that Superior Court Judge.s i assigned to a county must remain j in the county of their assignment tc • discharge duties ol the court until t ; o'clock on Friday i>l' the week of as signment^ The bill would provide penalty of $100 per day for failure to comply..

Call of Open Road Rivals Spa Treatment for Vacations By LOGAN CLE: • IS THERE any advantage in a vacation at a resort for mineral springs or can't you do as much good taking to the great open spaces? Spa treatment seems to have more or less gone out of fashion and undeservedly so. It used to be the regular thing for the family to vacation at the springs—now the regular thing is to get m the automobile and ride, ride, ride. It certainly can be said, in gen eral, that the ride-ride-ride vaca tion is best suited to young and vigorous members of the family. It's likely to make the older one; need a little time to rest to recover from their vacation. They can have a good, restful, healthy spell at the springs though Beneficial Routine When you get down to analyze the good that mineral springs do, you must acknowledge that the routine life imposed on you at a spa is of more value than the Dr. Clendening will answer questions of -general interest only, and then only through his column. waters. All good spas now have arrangements for baths, dietary regulation, exercise and massage, and competent medical consulta tion is available to outline a proper daily routine. This treatment is of value in chronic disabling conditions in cluding those affecting the heart and circulation, rheumatism, di gestive-chronic stomach, intes tinal and gallbladder conditions, nervous and, occasionally, skin troubles. Different mineral waters are of value because of their alkaline properties, salts of calcium or phosphate, mild laxative proper ties, iron content or natural heat. Whether the minute amounts of radium some of them contain do any good is doubtful'. ■i*' * * . Water as a cathartic. <■/ ' In thinking of natural cathar ■fp* tics we stress the value of rough age foods and {rive no attention to the claims of plain, good old-fash ioned water. Water—six to eight glasses a fDENIXG, M. D. day, more in summer time—is nec essary for the maintenance of the equilibrium of the body. As a ca thartic it initiates the peristaltic movements of the intestine gently and naturally. Water immediately leaves the stomach and as soon as it reaches the intestine it stimu lates the intestinal muscle to movement. This is the reason for the good effect of a glass or two of hot water drunk in the early morning before breakfast. They should be taken slowly while dressing. * * * Diet for Underweight Breakfast: Orange juice — 8 ounces; cereal—1 ounce; cream— 3% ounces; 1 glass milk—8 ounces; 1 egg; bacon—1 ounce; toast—3 slices; butter—1 ounce; coffee with cream and sugar. 10.4.

At Chicago, most of the weakness which developed in the livestock markets this week was attributed either directly or indirectly to a prolonged heat wave throughout the country. Reduced meat consumption brought about sharp declines in the wholesale centers and immediate re flection in live prices. Early in the week dry led steers and yearlings made minor aims only to lose all the betterment and a little more around mid-week. Hogs declined in three successive sessions and held levels Thursday only through abridg ed marketings, while spring lambs closed 15 to 25 cents lower than lale last week.

Weighing Consequences (A Principle of Temperate Living) "BRASS TACKS" ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Che (5oldcn (Te^ct f The statue of Laocoon "Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of (he which now is, and of that which is to come."—I Tim. 4:8. By NEWMAN CAMPBELL. (The International Uniform Les son on ihe above topic for July is Proverbs 1:7-10: Isaiah 5:11. 12. 18-23: Galatians 0:7-9: the Golden Text being I Timothy 4:8—"God liness is profitable for all things, hav ing promise of the life which now is. and of that which is to come."). Fathers and mothers of all times have been earnestly concerned about the conduct of their children, giving them advice and striving to guide them in the ways of temperance and right living. Back in 1.000 B. C\. Solomon. Son of David, king of Israel, said: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but foois despise wisdom ; nd instruction. "My son, hear the instruction of t:,y father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: "For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck." To the mind of an Israelite no badge of glory was high er in worth than the garland worn around the head or the gold chain about the neck, which were worn by kings and favorites of kings. Then Solomon makes this earnest direct appeal: "My son, jf sinners en tice thee, consent thou not." How to Make the Young: Strong. How to make our young people strong .in the conviction mat "in righteousness there is strength," and to say "No" to the often attractive "sinners that entice" them, is the pro blem. To bring Ihem up in the "fear of the Lord," as Solomon says, and to set them good examples of temperate, spiritual living, is the best that any parent can do. The misery that comes from intem perance is suggested in Isaiah 5:11, where he says: "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may fol low strong drink: that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! "And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands." Woo surely follows those who do! not obey the laws of God in life.. Nothing is surer than punishment for the drunkard and wastrel. How to make those who incline to this sort' of living sec to what it leads, is the! problem of all parents and friends of those who are so inclined. Tenderly, appealingly, we should iikc Solomon, make the appeal: "My son, hear the instruction of thy fath er." "If sinners entice thee, consent thou not." The topsyturvy thinking of those who "eat, drink and are merry.'- giv ing no thought for the consequences,! is summed up for us in very slrik-! ing language by Isaiah: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil: that put dark- j ness for iight. and light for darkness;, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! "Woe unto them thai are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength lo mingle strong drink: "That justify the wicked for a! bribe, and lake away the righteous-1 ness of the righteous from him." These words surely apply to those j who tempt young people to drink by telling them they are nol "good t sports" if they do not follow the crowd. How many young people of both .••exes have fallen lor that slur - to their own deep regret and the' agony of their families! In Galatians (i I'aul warns: "He not' deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." And finally, as added encourage ment to us all to live in the spirit and to cultivate the things that makej lor life everlasting, Paul says: "And let us not weary in well doing: Ion in due season we shall j reap, if we faint not." "Godliness is profitable for ail! things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is j to come." • Indianapolis law requires pawn brokers to thumb-print customers be fore making the loan.

Sum total of all new construction A'ork in 2! cities of more than 10, 100 population shows that there were ssued, through June, 338 more build ing permits of all sorts than during I he first half of 1939; but the esti mated cost of the 2,268 structures authorized this year was SI,757,41)0 less than in 1939. Kxplanation of the tremendous slump in non-residential construc tion lies in the completion last year >f huge public construction projects. Those familiar with details are un animous in accounting this year's construction record as much more gratifying from the standpoint of pri vate building projects. The Labor Department's report for June was consistent in similarity to those of previous months: indicating continued private residential build ing, while confirming the steady de cline in the value of proposed non residential construction. Summary of the reports show that through June 30 there were issued permits for 2.268 buildings to cost S8.848.819. against 1.930 buildings at a cost of .$10,606,299 in the first half uf 1939. On the residential side, this year's total reached 1,782 buildings to cost S6,824,990 against 1.418 buildings to cost $4,480,100 last year—an increase of 3G8 buildings and $2,344,884 in es timated cost. On the npn-residential side, the picture was quite different, with de creases both in number of buildings authorized and cost of those to be erected.
