ILLUSION:
The stage is all set for target practice. The magician
lifts his bow and aims an arrow at the bull's-eye. His
lovely assistant then steps in front of the target and
he shoots the arrow apparently through her- and it
fixes itself in the very center of the bull's-eye ! And
she smiles through it all while the audience gasps.
EXPLANATION:
The arrow which the marksman "shoots through" his
assistant simply folds up into the crossbow ' The
arrow which is actually embedded in the target is shot
by the girl herself from a belt concealed under her
dress. She releases a little spring, the arrow unfolds,
and shoots straight into the bull's-eye ! It is all done in
a flash! So quickly the eye cannot delect the girl's
movements! To heighten the impression that the ar
row has gone right through, the girl releases a ribbon
from the front of her dress the continuation, appar
ently, of the ribbon attached to the arrow in the target.

look at another. ..the illusion in ciga
rette advertising called "Cigarettes
and Your Throat." '
The audience is told that by certain
magic processes tobacco can be made
as soothing as cough medicine.
explanation: The easiest cigarette
on your throat is the cigarette that is
made from the choicest ripe tobaccos.
Cheap, raw tobaccos are, as you would
naturally expect, harsh in their effects
upon the throat.

To-day people are paying $100 debts
with $200 worth of money. For ex
ample when you borrowed $100 in
1928 you could have paid it back with
50 bushels of wheat. . . and to-day
you can. . . I mean you may be able
to pay it back but it will take 200
busnels pf the same kind of good
wheat . . . your teams and men are
working for halfwhu t they received a
few years hence. . . and how tough
it is if you borrowed a few dollars
then. . . My shallow brain has thought
this far but read what the writer
Frank B. Niles. . . now at the Sunset
Cottage Lake Junaluska. . . has to
say about this. . . "the time will come,
and that not long in the future, when
the collection of such a debt in such
appreciated money will be declared
illegal".
Two more statements from Mr.
Niles' book: "A protective tarriff never
inlluenced 'the price of agricultural
products except downward.". , , "What
the world is suffering from is not
overproduction, it is rather painful,
j j tragic, unnecessary underproduction."
And let me back to ligter work for

If you have "to consider your throat,
the quality of the tobacco in your
cigarette is important.
It is a fact well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than
any other popular brand.
Camels are as non-irritating as a ciga
rette can be because Camels use choice,
ripe, tobaccos. ;
And because of the matchless blend
ing of these costlier tobaccos Camels
have a rich bouquet and aroma ... a
cool, delicious flavor.
Keep the air-tight, welded
Humidor Pack on your Camels
...to assure yourself and your
companions a fresh, cool smoke.

h'KM'LX- WHAT WK'VH sows
Star of Hope, lead Thou our nation
Which from its teachings far has
flown.
May we learn with deep contrition
That we are reaping what we've sown.
Star of Hope, may Thy fadeless light
Shine on our people, restless still.
Remove the darkness of the night
Incline them now to do Thy will.
Star of Hope, sinful doubts remove.
Let us all know that Thou art near.
That Thou art guiding from above,
And fill us now with Thy good cheer.
Star of Hope, in tenderness look
On us who've wandered far astray.
Incline us all to heed Thy book
And front our idols turn away.
Star of Hope, our sins we confess
And humbly bow before Thy throne.
Have pity Lord in our distress,
For we are reaping what we've sown.
Star of Hope, we look now lo Thee,
For Thou alone dost have the power
To rescue from a troubled sea.
nemovc the perils of his hour.
