Grace means unroerltetl favor. God’s
grace means his kindness toward us
through Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:7.)
God's mercy does not go oat to men be- |
cause they are good but because he 1
la good and desires to bestow that
goodness upon lost and ruined men In
order to make them good.
I. The Grsca of God In 8alvatlon
(Eph. 2:4-10.)
Grace brings salvation; It does not
send It. Jesus Christ, who Is the em
bodiment of God's love and grace,
come bringing salvation with him. In
order to apprehend what the grace of
God bus done, observe:
1. Mnn's natural state (Eph. 2:1-3).
In the natural man Is found nil that Is
opposed to the will and purpose of
God, (1) Dend In trespasses and
sins (v. 1). The supreme need of the
dead innn Is life, therefore he must
have life from without himself. The
characteristic of one who Is dead Is
that he Is (s) without sensation—
“past feeling." (4:19.) The natural
man, therefore, can neither love God
nor hate sin until he Is made alive.
(b) Without motion. Activity Is the
demonstration of life. So far as God
and holiness are concerned they are
motionless. TJiey lire as helpless as
I-auiru* was In the grave. (2) Under
the control of fleshly and worldly lusts
(v. 2). Th« carnal nature holds sway
over their lives. (31 Under the doml-
nutlpo of Satan.(v. 2). All unregen-
cratc men and women are ruled by Sa
tan^ Slnce.be la the god of this age
(2 Cor. 4:4). the prince of tbla world
(Jolin 12:M). all who. have not been
freefl by Christ are under the. rule of
Satan. (4) Under.the, condemnation
snd| wrath of God (v. 3). Over all
. (hese—death, worldllneaa. dlsobedl-
l^tnca, Inst of the flesh—hangs the
wrqlh and condemnation of God.
2. i Man's state by. grace (2:4-10).
(1) jHe Is nllve In Christ (v. 8). The
Holy Spirit lays hold upon men dead
A man i. be down, bnt he's never out," the Salvation Army slogan,
furnished the theme for the official Home Service Fund Campaign poster de
signed by Frederick Duncan, the noted artist From this he lias evolved s
striking artistic creation, typifying the hand of the Salvation Army reaching
out to rescue those who are enshrouded Id the clouds of poverty and Tice. A

thrown back us she enfolds those who are calling out to her in distress, fur

II. The Grace of God In Right Liv-
Isq (Titus 2:11-14).
Grace Is not only essential to sal
vation but essential to right living. It
tenches saved men (1) to deny ungod
liness (v. 12). The saved nmn hns
the divine nnture. The grace which
has saved hltn tenches him the neces
sity of a denial of everything that Is
Opposed to God. (2) Worldly lusts
(v. 12). The redeemed man Is sur

him. The grace of God teaches him i w “» ab P ul »ne-touitb
In renounce them. (3) Sober living Rn< * threw a light
Iv. 12). The grace of God tenches
the saved ninn self-control; to have
the reins of his nature well In com
mand nnd to rule with a strong hand.
It) Righteous living (v. 12). The
-race of God teaches the saved man
lo live uprightly with reference to
'hose uhout him. (8) Godly living
('■ 12). It teaches him to so live In
'his present world as to enable him

“Except for lack of time in tho brief
second between the firing of the gun
and the arrival of the shell, It would
be quite poeslblo with this proposed
apparatus to calculate almost exactly
where Ihe shell would land.”
The corps produced also a new
form of searchlight more powerful
than any that had preceded it in any
army with which the eecond field army
had been partially equipped.
"It weighed," the report says, “one-
eighth as much as lights of former
design, cost only one-third as much.

Tho engineers were at work when
the llgntlng ended upon a mechanism
which would enable them to control
searchlights from a distance.
Tho chapter devoted to the work of
the Engineer Corps In France draws a
vivid picture of the duties of the
combat engineers who played their
full part In the fighting from the be
ginning to the end. It also tells In
detail of the building of the railways;
the cutting down of French forests to
convert them into baracks for Amer
ican troops; of tho miles of highways
built and constantly rebuilt as shell
fire tore them to pieces; of cement
mills taken over In France by Ameri
can troopa to provide trench mate
rials; of the great map printing plant
where the engineers finally were able
to produce not only all maps needed
for the American army but even sup

Army with base maps for their front?

NEW ORLEANS, May 13.—(By As
soclated Press.)—The proposed plan
of organisation for the American Cot
ton Export Financing corporation, a
pool of cotton producers and dealers
for export trade, as made known hero
today at a conference of cotton Inter
ests, provides for s corporation cap!
rallied at 8100,000,000 to ba paid large
ly in Liberty bonds.
The corporation would be empower
ed to accept a wide variety of foreign
securities and market them In this
country, or Issue bonds of Its own. It
could also acquire control of cotton
manufacturing plants and lend money
to dealers and shippers on security of
warehouse receipts. Thus It would
finance the entire export transaction.
The draft of the proposed powers
for the corporation will be submitted
later this weak to the entire confer
ence and its adoption without mate
rial modification ts expected. The cor
poration will be authorised to begin
business when the amount of capital
stock subscribed reaches 820,000,000,
with fifty per cent paid In. Authority
will be given Ihe corporation by the
organizers to act In any part of the
United States or any foreign country,
both on Its own account and ns agent,
trustee, broker or conelgnee In deal
ing In cotton, cotton yarns, cotton
goods, seed and seed oil, providing the
articles are meant solely for export
trade. The organization will be barred

One of the most progressive steps
in the matter of rural education ever
recorded In Sumter county was taken
•t the last meeting of' toe county
board of educations when petitions
were approved and consolidation or
dered of the Leslie,, DeSoio. Howell
and New Hope school districts into
one district.
N'otlflc»tlo4 of the consolidation or
der was sent today by Codnty Super
intendent E. J. McMath to ike trustees
of the four districts. '
The plans, which, as yet are only
tentative, contemplatj the erection of
a new school house somewhere be
tween Leslie and DfSolo, to cost be
tween 830,000 and $40,0)). and the In
stallation of a full l2-grade 14-unit
school, the equal of any preparatory
school In Georgia and giving Us grad-
j uates entry privileges' Into tho col
leges and universities of the state. The
Leslie school now embraces only 10
grades.
The present average total school at.
tendance in these four districts now Is
about 275, divided as follows: Leslie,
180; DeSoto, 40; Howell, 30; Now
Hope, 25. Preparations will be made
to care for a larger number.
The consolidation project will neces
sitate the employment of trucks by the
county to transport pupils living at a
distance from the school, but these
will be limited to the Howell and New
Hope dlitrlcra, the new school being
located within walking distance of all
pupils In the Leslie or DeSoto dis
tricts. It Is said that Cobb could eas
ily Join in the consolidation, were It
dealrable, that district being within
easy reach of tho new school by truck.
Howover, no movement to join In Ibis
consolidation project hus yet been re
ported from Cobb. > '
Sentiment Unanimous.
The consolidation sentiment was
declared to have ueen unanlmoue In
each of the four districts, and when
the county board of education, met to
take action upon the proposal they
found before them the petitions signed
by the patrons of eaeh district, show
ing no differences of opinion. Where
upon the following order was passed:
May 6,1919.
“Resolved, that the petitions of the
patrons and cltisena of the Leslie, the
DeSoto, the Howell and the New Hope
districts asking for these four school
districts to be consolidated Into one
large district, the same are hereby
granted and approved.
“It Is therefore ordered by the board
of education that the said four districts
be combined and consolidated, Into
one, and that said new district em
brace all the territory comprised
the four named districts and one
school building be erected and main
tained somewhere between the towns
of Leslie and De8oto In (Bid district
'This new district being formed of
four dlstrlcta that have already voted
and accepted local, taxation to main'
tain the achoole In same. It* la the
sense of this board that the new dis
trict shall have all privileges In this
respect that were enjoyed by the four
old districts before thoy were consoli
dated Into one.

S More Projects.
It Is said the consolidated school will
not be ready for the beginning of tho
fall term, but that the present schools
will be continued until the new struc
ture Is ready. When It Is completed the
old boards of trustees will be dissolv
ed and one new board chosen to rep
resent the single combined district.
Two other school consolidation pro]
ects are reported under way, which
may be ready for early action by the
county board. One Is the consolidation
of the New Point, Fidelity and Benev
olence schools, the school building In
the former district having burned
down a few weeka ago; and of the
Concord, Friendship and New Dodson
schools, the latter contingent largely
upon whether local rax Is adopted by
the Concord patrons.
Local rax proposals are now before
both the Concord and Shiloh schools,
said to Be the largest In the county
now without local tax. The need* of
these two districts are said to hive
outgrown the school facilities' Ad'It
IsipCdposed to adopt the tax so that
each call be made a 3-teacher school.
Concord now has one teacher and Shi
loh two teachers. 7

THE MODERN WAY TO MANICURE
To keep your own nails exquisite, shapely,with
firm, smooth, even cuticle .
You can have beautiful, well-groomed nails. Learn how to
manicure with no tedious end harmful cutting of cuticle,
no tiresome soaking of the nails.
Cutting the cuticle leaves a rough, uneven edge. The more
you cut cuticle the faster It grows, the tougher, drier and
more Irregular It becomes.
For years one could only cut the cuticle or neglect It;
there was no safe, easy way to remove It. Then, after
years of study, an expert perfected the formula for the
scientific, safe cuticlo remover, Cutox.
Manicure without cutting the cuticle
First file your nails lo Ihe desired length and smooth away
ali roughness with an emery board (one comes In the
Midget Set.)
Wrap a little cotton around the end of an orange stick
(both come In the Cutex package), dip It Into the bottle of
Cutex and work around the base of the nails, gently push
ing back tho cuticle. Rlnso tho fingers in clear water.
If you Uke snowy-white nail tips apply a little Cutex Nall
White underneath the nails directly from Its convenient
tube. Finish your manlcuro with Cutox Nall Polish.
Your nails louk unbelievably lovely after a Cutex manicure
—bolter than they over looked before. Thoy are so shape
ly, BO exquisitely groomed; tho cuticle edgo at their base la
smooth, firm and oven. You aro delighted with their
appearance. Tho Cuticle Remover comes In 35c and 65c
bottles. Cutex Nail White Is 35c. Cutex Nall Polish—cake,
paste, liquid, stick or the new powder—Is 35c. Cutex
Cuticle Comfort is alio 35c.

"Utilizing and applying Ihe new
knowledge and scientific achievements
of recent years,” the report says In
concluding that portion devoted to
the engineers, “drawing upon the fund
of experience acquired by the regular
army In its theoretical studies and
past wars, making available the vast
amount of technical skill which has
assisted this nation to Its present com
mercial and Industrial status, the en
gineers of the United States army
worked and fought, planned, and ac
complished In France a work which In
magnitude exceeds any similar under
taking recorded In American history.
From base port to first waves of
ussault upon the enemy's positions,
engineer troops have been constantly
in action first to last and have 'car
ried on’ always with the high Ideals
of the profession and with the molto

F OUR things every successful grain binder must
do: 1 Cut—2 Elevate—3 Bind—4 Bunch the
Bundles. McCormick and Deering improved bin
ders do all of them with a certainty that pleases
their owners.
Birders are so common and ihe iime saving qualities so obvious that often the features
that make a binder do successful work under adverse conditions are overlookod. Al>
most any binder will do good work under ideal conditions, but a grain binder that can
be rated as really successful must perform the following four tasks under all conditions
encountered in the grain (hid.

For Plains June 11
The next farmers’ co-opsratlve hog
sale in Sumter county will be held at
Plains June II. according to an
nouncement made today fcy George O.
Marshall, county agent. A number of
farmers are expected to have bogs
ready for marketing at that time, and
effort will be made to command
prices as fancy as those received at
tb( recent sale.
3. BIND 4. BUNCH THE BUNDLES
Aside from performing these four tasks, the binder must be 90 designed, constructed,and
perfected that it will fulfill the following conditions required by most grain growers:
