“Seek ye first the kingdom
I eousness and all these things will be added unto you.”
Some man could make a fortune by inventing a way to
extract gold and silver from old mining stocks.
The world has stopped scrapping over what is right and
is now scrapping over what is left.
People can criticize the weather all they want to, but
fortunately they can’t change it into a worse condition.

It IS a sad thing to relate, but there are Quite a fett
strong, unemployed men around Covington who want a job,
but who don’t want to work.
There was less grafting in horse-and-buggy days, but
crooked horse-trading went out when the auto came in.
If the flea is a mite, as scientists contend, then we sup
pose the bed-bug would be classed as dynamite.
Circus men say lions that once sold for $1,000 can now
be had for as low as $150. Why not try plowing under every
third lion?
The man who once yearned for the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow has now found out that the government
would take it away from him if he found it.
Oh well, if the apple hadn’t caused Adam to fall he might
have handled public money some day and it would have been
all the same.
Now Is The Time
With March here, spring cannot be far away, and each
passing day brings gardening time nearer. Right now, the
seed catalogues begin to appear, and it is time to go over
last years garden and make such corrections or additions as
will fill this year’s patch with quality vegetables. The house
wife, no doubt spent many hours over the canning kettle,
filling what cans and jars she had from the garden surplus.
If this supply runs low, and the family likes one kind or sev
eral kinds of vegetables best, then plant sufficient quantities
this summer to last through next winter. Careful planning
at this time will not only relieve worry when the spring rush
comes, but should give an idea of how much to plant and why.
Get out a piece of paper and draw up a plan for the garden,
placing the rows the proper distance for either hand or horse
cultivation.
It Ought To Work
All over the United States people pay their rent by the
month, their water bills and light bills and millions of them
their grocery and clothing bills by the month. Why is it that
states have not seen fit to allow 7 them to pay their taxes the
same way? There’s many a man who could dig up ten dol
lars regularly the first of every month for an entire year
but who does find it hard to kick in with $60 in a lump sum
at the end of the year to pay a similar amount of taxes. It’s
easier for any taxpayer to pay his taxes in tw’elve equal in
stallments than to pay the same amount in one installment.
The state would get more money, ana of course the counties
would, too, because more tax money w’ould be paid in. There
would be far fewer delinquencies. And the burden of tax
paying would be wiped out in thousands upon thousands of
homes. Can it be possible that there are no legislators in
our own state anxious to start the ball rolling by introducing
a bill to this effect? Then, if there are none such, it might
not be a bad idea for voters to turn their attention to electing
a few of that type.
It Doesn’t Pay
Parents of growing boys have had two excellent oppor
tunities of late to impress them with the fact that crime
doesn’t pay, and no matter how smart those boys may become
later, or how smart they may consider themselves now, these
examples should convince them that they can’t buck the law
and win out.
The arrest and conviction of “Machine Gun” Kelly and
his gang for the Ursehel kidnaping, and the more recent ar
rest of John Dillinger and his band of bank robbers in
Arizona ought to impress the boy who is inclined to feel that
there is an easier way to get money than by working for it.
Every one of these chaps started even with the world. They
had as good an opportunity as any boy of today to go
straight and become useful citizens But they preferred the
companionship of those who figured they could “beat the
law,” with the natural result. It is true that they did get
‘ by for while, but not very long after the law had tired of
a
their violations and got after them with their own weapon—
the gun.
Encourage your boy to do a little thinking over the de
plorable end that these modem gangsters have come to.
Then make the lesson stronger by pointing out to them that
history invariably repeats itself and that they, too, are cer
tain to meet a similar fate if they decide to “buck the law 7 .”

JESUS RESPONDS TO FAIT i
Lesson: Matthew 13:53-16.*2.
Golden Text: “Ask and it shall
be given you: seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you."—Matthew 7:7.
In this lesson we find Jesus up
in Syria, and this is the only in
stance in which during his minis
try he stepped outside of Palestine,
The greatest life that was ever
lived was spent in a little strip of
country not as large as some of
our western counties.
Jesus confined his life within a
narrow strip of country, but what
enormous power he developed as
he let loose forces that have plow
ed through the centuries and are
reconstructing the wrnrld.
Jesus went into Syria tor se
elusion and rest, He was over
w'orked in Galilee with the crowds
running after him and intruding
upon his privacy. He went off on
a vacation for retirement and re
creation.
His fame had spread across
border and no place could conceal
him. No place can hide any man,
there radiates from every one,
even a total stranger, subtle influ
euces that advertise his presence
and personality and reveal his na
ture.
Wherever we go we should keep
our hearts with all diligence, for
we shall be discovered.
Some Christian people when they
go off on a vacation seem to leave
their religion at home, but Jesus
could not leave his behind because
it was incorporate with his whole
personality and was his spirit and
life.
A Canaanitish woman came to
him with her pathetic cry. The
mother cried for mercy, not on her
daughter, 'but on herself. So
closely was her heart wrapped up
with her child that the daughter’s
demon was the mother’s distress:
it was this that gave her such
earnestness and power in prayer.
If more fathers and mothers
thus felt for their sons and daugh
ters, there would be fewer “de
monised" young people in our
day.
Stolid silence met her heart
broken cry. It looked as though
th« old enmity between Jew and
Canaanite put her beyond the
pale of his mercy so that there was
no word of healing or hope for
her.
The disciples first broke the si
lence and they said, “Send her
away; for she crieth after us.”
They were annoyed and vexed at
the crying woman. An easy solu
tion, a quick riddance of the
trouble.
Are we not disposed at times to
get rid of people in distress?
Their hunger and rags and
disease, their pitiful presence and
persistent appeals, are so unpleas
and an annoying, Why cannot
these people have the sense to take
themselves off and keep out of
our sight? This thought gets into
our minds more often than we
may acknowledge.
We do not like to have our
fort disturbed by being pestered
with such people.
Jesus himself now broke his
silence, but he did not seem to
help her case any but rather made
it worse. “I was not sent but unto
the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.”
Yet this pagan woman’s faith i
failed not even at this hard say- j
ing of Jesus. Possibly she saw the
secret inclination and desire of
Jesus reflected in his tones and >
features, and she took courage, i
Instead of being driven off by all
these discouragements, “she came ■
and worshiped him, saying. Lord
help me."
Jesus met the woman’s worship
by saying, "It is not meet to take
the children’s bread and cast it
unto dogs. This seems the hard
est thing he has yet said.
At any rate the woman was not
offended by it, but caught it up
with a marvelous quickness of
wisdom and wit and turned it back
upon Jesus, “Yea, Lord: for even
the dogs eat of the crumbs which
fall from their master’s table."
She took Jesus at his own word
and turned his point to her own
favor. Se was willing to be treat
ed as a pet dog in the Master's
house.
No condition was too humble

and hard for her, if only she 1
might be given some crumbs of his
bread.
What a rebuke is this to our I
pride and fastidiousness and ex
acting spirit even in the presence ,
of God! How much we demand
and how nicely everything must
suit us before we will accept a
blessing in the church or at the |
j hands of God himself! 1
The contest now suddenly eol- '
lapsed and* in an instant victory
f was won. "And he said unto her
O woman, great is thy faith: be it ,
into thee even as thou wilt, And
her daughter was healed even 1
j from that hour."
j wonder This marvelous Jesus woman himself. was a
even to
What a refreshment to his wearied ! ■
spirit to find such faith out in
the heathen world in contrast with
the unbelief and pride of his own
people,
We have needs as real and pres- ‘
sing as hers, and earnest persis- 1
tent faith in us will bring us j
showers of blessing.
I Our lesson shifts the scene again
and we find Jesus back in Galilee.
He was on its beloved lake shore
and up in its mountains and “there
came to him great multitudes”
1 with every manner of sickness, j
“and he healed them."
On returning from his vacation I
he found work waiting for him in
undiminished fulness and urgency,
And so Jesus resumed his work
of healing “the lame, blind, dumb,
maimed, and many others" with
such power that “the multitude
wondered, when the saw the dumbj
speaking, the maimed whole, and
j ! the seeing: lame and walking, they glorified and the the blind God
of Israel."
His gospel was no merely beau
tiful theory, but was the demon
stration of the power of God unto
salvation. Such it is today, and
these same works we are to do
and greater, for we have a greater
world and wider means for car
rying it on.

BROTHERS
CIRCUS COMING
Local Merchants’ Co-operation
Makes Possible 10-Cent
Admission.
Through the co-operation of the
merchants and business places of
Covington, and the management
of the Famous Schell Brothers
four-ring wild animal circus, they
are making it possible for every
man, woman and child to attend
the circus for ten cents each by
buying their tickets in the stores
from the merchants who are mak
ing this possible. But, if you wait
and buy them on the show ground
they will cost the regular price.
Do not be misled into thinking
that because you may buy a ticket
for ten cents that this is some
small one-horse affair, as Schell
Eros, circus is one of the well
known circuses that travels
throughout this country. Schell
Br °s. circus takes great pride in
cleanliness of their performance
and is of the highest standard.
There you will see the most of un
usual artists, wire walkers, trap
eze performers, acrobats, a com
pany of laugh provoking clowns
to keep you laughing all the time,
There a re herds of performing ele
phants and beautiful horses. Many
new and novel features this year;
and, as an added feature, Schell
Bros, take great pleasure in pre
senting Miss Vates Lola, Holly
wood’s Sweetheart and movie star,
who will appear twice daily in the
main show performance. The ani
nial acts are presented by Capt.
Matt Moore, who is their trainer,
who comes to this country direct
from the Royal Zoo in Berlin,
Germany. As a prelude to the main
show performance, a beautiful
pageant is presented, whereby
every member of the circus takes
part—a gorgeous processional
fiseta of old Spain, entitled Sunny
Spain, headed by its beautiful
prima Donna, Miss Dolores Gome*,
The Riding Hogan Family, the
Aerial Henrys and the Connor
Troupe are a few of the outstand
ing features of the circus. Come
to town early; do your shopping
early, as the merchants will hare
many good and lasting bargains
of timely values on sale. Have a
good time at a small cost. Be
sure and get your tickets in ad
vance and save money, as the mer
chants are making this reduction
possible for all to attend.
