Council Bluffs, lowa. —To most fa thers the arrival of a pair of twins comes as a shock, but Andrew Koger has become inured and only smiled when informed his wife had given birth to their fifth pair. Pride shone from his glance as he announced: “They told us before there were several families with four sets of twins. Now it’s a cinch we’ve got them beat.” Married in 1905, Mr. and Mrs. Koger half expected twins when they learned their first baby was coming, for there were twins in both branches of the family. They were disappointed the first time, however, when Orren, now twen ty-four, appeared. High hopes faded three years later when Ellery was born and almost disappeared two years later, when Bessie made her ap pearance. Then hope flared again and was re warded witli the appearance of Clyde and Claude in 1913. Abbie and Addie followed in 1915, and Floyd and Lloyd came in 1920. Said Andrew to his wife, as she fed the latest arrivals: “I told you so. There’s twins and twins on both sides. There’ll be more. You wait and see.” Two j*ears passed before Jean and Jeannette showed up, and the parents named them and sought more alliter ative names for use in case Andrew’s prediction was fulfilled in greater portion. Jack, now five, interrupted their search, and they began to believe the twins had ended, but last year hope was renewed. Came 1930, and with it Norma Jean and Donald Dean. Now Koger, who is forty-eight, ru minates as he works for the Union Pacific transfer in Council Bluffs, and his wife, forty-two, wonders as she works about the house, for more al literative names may be needed. “You never can tell; it may be the will of God; if more come, they will be taken care of and they will be wel come,” Koger explained. And little Jack, who, his father says, “by right should have been a twin,” wonders and asks why people say “he’s a single,” as though that was something of which he should be ashamed. American Students Many prominent American educators have shown interest in the venture and the American advisory committee includes Prof. John A. Walz of Har vard university. Prof. Adolph S.

Baetjer, internationally known Hop kins roentgenologist, is again at the hospital for an operation, at least his fiftieth, due to his dangerous work. Doctor Baetjer has lost in succession nearly all his fingers. The rays have affected both his arms and caused the loss of one eye. He also has undergone several skin grafting operations. Doctor Baetjer’s associates refer to him as the “last of the old guard." A pioneer in his field, most of his associates have paid with their lives for their investigations. Though often urged to retire, Doctor Baetjer refuses to give up his work. i. West Still Has Cattle Rustlers to Bother It Phoenix, Ariz. —The “wild and wool ly West” of the cowboy movies is not decadent. Arizona cattle rustlers stole 30,000 head of cattle, valued at $1,500,000, last year, according to an estimate by Hoyt Medler, secretary of the live stock sanitary board. “There Is more rustling going on in this state now than at any time in history," Medler declared, explaining that many Arizona bootleggers rustle cattle as a side line.

X THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. CLOSE MOUNT VERNON ROOMS TO OCCUPANCY Erect New Building to House Society Members. Washington.—Never again will the bedroom where George Washington slept be occupied by an ordinary in dividual. The Mount Vernon Ladies’ associa tion, a group of women from the 48 states who control and manage the Washington mansion, 18 miles south of the National Capital, have just fin ished an improvement at this historic place which means that the home of George Washington henceforth will be sacred from modern occupancy. Since it was taken over by this group of women, restored and opened to the public, it has been occupied only three days of each year. That was when the Mount Vernon ladies came in May for their annual inspection visit. Then the mansion was closed to the public and at night the ladies slept in the historic Washington bedrooms. Now this will be a thing of the past. New Building Nearly Ready. Workmen are putting finishing touches on a iiandsome new building within the limits of Mount Vernon, which will be occupied by members of the Mount Vernon staff who live there, and has sufficient space so that when the ladies make their annual inspection visit they can sleep in the new building instead of in the mansion itself. The new building is a low, rambling structure, copying the original archi tecture as closely as possible. It has strictly up to date modern features, however, including a three car garage and all necessary plumbing and bath room equipment. It will fit into the landscape so that the average tourist visiting Mount Vernon will hardly be able to distinguish it from the origi nal buildings. i Visitors Increasing. The number of tourists visiting Mount Vernon is increasing in number . from year to year, until now the his toric estate nets an income from ad mission fees of more than $150,000 an nually. No other historic spot in or near the Capital has an equal drawing power. Last year the total number of visitors was more than 600,000. Twenty-five cents is the price of admission, and the mansion is open six days a week. A bill providing for its being taken over by the govern ment is now pending in congress, and though this legislation will meet con siderable opposition, there is a possi bility of passage. , ^TT^admissior^ie^tlier^i^neces sary because the house is not govern ment owned. Fabled “Lost Grass” Is Found on Western Farm Bellingham, Wash. —The fabled "lost grass" of Europe, amazingly rediscov ered recently on an Oregon dairy farm, is in such a heavy demand that the government experimental station won ders how the world managed to get along over a century without it. The story of this strange grass is a romance of a far western stump farm. One year a peculiar pasture grass was found to die early in sum mer, when all growing conditions were In favor of green things. As soon as autumn rains fell the same pasture turned a dark green, as the dead grass suddenly returned in exultant resur rection. Government experts were asked to study the field. Examination of the plant revealed a bulbous root and bulb-like seed pod. The government agricultural experts could hardly believe their eyes. Thej all agreed that as nearly as could be determined it was the long lost, much written about grass which sleeps or hibernates while other varieties are green, then thrives best in the winter when food for live stock Is low. It forms a perfect turf even under heavy snow or ice. Experiments have been carried on in Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, Oregon, California and in Scotland, the original home of the pasturage. Not only is the strange grass a per fect food for cattle, but the turf-mak ing qualities make it valuable for win ter lawns and parks and for golf course greens. Various experimental stations of the Department of Agriculture are work ing to increase a supply of the “lost grass” for the Increasing call from farmers and seedsmen. Dog “Jailed” for Hunting Dead Master at Burials Belfast. —Police “arrested” a dog whicli .followed every funeral that passed through the streets, hoping, officials believed, to find his dead master.

Cincinnati.—ls some person were to approach five-year-old Jacques D. Rietze and maternally lisp, “Itb ’e 'itty boy ’appy?" she'd probably receive some such amazing reply: “Exceedingly, madam. Playing with a miniature locomotive affords me great pleasure.” •If the minister should walk into the Rietze home and query of Jacques, “What was the greatest factor con tributing to the defeat of the Ephraim ites at the Jordan?” the boy likely would reply: “They didn’t know their pronunciation.” Since he was four Jacques has been studying the Bible. He has learned more of its contents in that time, per haps, then the average individual learns in a lifetime. He knows and can furnish identi ties of Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, not to mention the more public char acters of Moses, Noah, and Abraham. He can deliver a sermon, quote scrip ture, and define “metaphysics,” as well as “ecclesiastic.” His one handicap is speech. So zeal ous is he to impart his knowledge of religious subjects to listeners that the words fairly tumble out of his mouth. Consequently, he is rather difficult to understand in speech, as well as sub ject. Like normal boys of his age, he de lights with his toys, but even at play he mumbles Biblical quotations to him self. Once a passage is read him he never forgets and can repeat it ver batim. His mother first acquainted him with the Bible. A few preliminary readings, however, and Jacques took the initiative to learn more. Mrs. Rietze cannot explain her son’s unusual acumen and is fearful that he may become "not enough like other boys.” However, when attempts are made to divert ins mind to other subjects his day is spoiled, his mother declares. A month ago Jacques was ill. No ticing the distress of his mother, ho calmly assured her, “Don’t worry, mother. Christ will cure me.” An Old Goat Pasture Now Colony of Wealth Toronto.—-In the suburban village of Forest Hill there is perhaps a greater concentration of wealth and power than in any other place of its size in Canada. Scarcely more than half a many wooaecl fields, which looked more or less alike, one farmer placed a sign bearing the wards, “Forest Hill," on a small hilltop. From that sign the village took its name when it was incorporated in Docember, 1923. Earns More Than Hubby; So Wife Loses Alimony Butte, Mont. —That large and in creasing class of Americans, divorced husbands, won a material victory over the equally large class of divorced wives, in court the other day when District Judge Frank L. Riley ruled that an ex-wife is not entitled to ali mony if her pay check is larger than her ex-husband’s—this, assuming there are no children in the wife’s custody. Martin Jaten protested against pay ing his former wife, Violet, alimony because she earned more than he. The judge upheld the husband's contention, Night Golfing on Tiny Links Is Latest Fad Syracuse, N. Y. —Night golf, made possible through floodlighting mini ature courses, is becoming a country hobby, according to A. H. Clarke, lighting expert, who has completed in stallation of lighting equipment for a score of such “midget” links in Cali fornia, Florida and North Carolina. Illumination is provided by 18 500- watt floodlights, equipped with diffus ing lenses to eliminate the glare. These under-sized links, started in resort centers, grew in popularity and the demand spread rapidly to other states. Seattle Cat Reaches Grand Old Age of 21 Seattle, Wash. —Teddy, T. M.

The King on His way to Jeru salem (v. 17). This is His last journey to the be loved city. He took the twelve disciples aside from the traveling pilgrims to make known unto them what was be fore them. As they journeyed, he went ahead of the disciples. The courage thus shown by the Lord amazed the disciples who were following in fear (Mark 10:32). 2. The betrayal and death foretold (vv. 18,19). He went forward, fully conscious of the awful tragedy of the cross. He for the third time since the transfigura tion tells the disciples of His ap proaching sufferings and death. But they are so filled with their ambitious schemes that they do not understand Him. The treachery of Judas, the fierce persecution^ by the chief priests and scribes, the unjust judgment, the de livery to Pontius Pilate, the mockery, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross, the hanging between two malefactors, the nails, the spear —all were spread before His mind like a picture I Though He knew all this. He pressed on, not of necessity, ibut de liberately. The joyous outlook upon the victory which would be accom plished by tlie shedding of His blood led Him forward. He went courage ously, for He knew the time had come for the accomplishment of His Fa ther’s will. 3. The resurrection foretold (v. 19). Truly, this would have been a dark picture had the resurrection not been made known. The resurrection life bpvond is fllwflVß rppd flip Isshia- 2i). This request was made by their mother. The request was for a place of prominence in the kingdom. It is not wrong for mothers to be ambitious for their boys, but they should know that life's pinnacles are exceedingly dangerous. It is desirable that parents should get places for their children near to Jesus, but the vain ambition of the world should not occupy their minds. 2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 22,23). He spoke directly to the men, not to their mother, declaring that they knew not what they were asking. He showed them that the way to this position of glory was through suffer ing. The cup which they were to drink was of great agony. The way to the places of glory in the kingdom of Christ is by the path of lowly and self-forgetting service. 111. How to Be Truly Exalted (vv. 24-28). 1. The angry disciples (v. 24). When the ten heard of the request of James and John, they were filled with indignation against them. Their displeasure did not arise from the fact that they were free from the same self ish spirit, but that these two had thrust themselves to the front. 2. Greatness among the heathen (v. 25). The rule of the world has always been by the strong hand. The stand ards have not been moral excellence, but worth, station, and power. 3. Greatness among Christ’s disciples (vv. 26,27). The standard here is in sharp con trast. The way to the place of promi nence in Christ’s kingdom is the way of self-abasement. To give is greater than to receive. To be serving some one is much better than to be served. There will be degrees of rank in Christ’s kingdom, but this rank will be character, not position, or author ity. The spirit of Christ substitutes “the greatness of love for the love of greatness.” 4. Christ is the supreme example of greatness (v. 28). All who will be great should study and imitate Christ. Let them forget self and serve others, even to the giv ing of their lives. Courage, Unspotted Life' Then said Mr. Holy-man, there are two things that they have need to pos sess who go on pilgrimage: courage and an unspotted life. If they have not courage, they can never hold on their way; and if their lives be loose, they will make the very name of a pilgrim stink. —John Bunyan.

Belligerent Owl A struggle between an owl and the engineer of an electric express train has been reported nt Linkoeping, in southern Sweden. The bird, probably attracted by the headlights of the lo comotive, burst against one cab win dow and broke the glass. Well in side, it sank its claws into the shoul ders of the motorman and attacked him with its bill. The engineer could not leave his grip on the switch, and a fierce battle ensued while the train raced on its way. At last the motor man succeeded in strangling the bird, which was an unusually large speci men.

A pretty woman without sense is like a flower without perfume. “Just a few words of praise of your medicine. Nothing gave me relief and health as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound did. I am a practical nurse and was so rundown that I was unable to work. I used to suffer agonies at times and would have to lie down the biggest part of the day. After two bottles of Vegetable Com pound I felt better. Now I have used ten bottles and feel fine. I recommend it to many of my patients.” — Mrs. Florence John son, R. R. #3, Chetopa, Kansas.
