Rev. Camp’s Sermons
Making Deep impression
Rev. Camp’s sermons and illustrat¬
ed Bible talks are making a deep and
lasting impression upon his hearers,
leading them to “search the Scrip
tures daily” to see what they con¬
tain.
Sunday morning Mr. Camp preach¬
ed on “Three Men”—The Natural
Man; that is, the man who is unre¬
generated by the Holy Spirit, and
does not receive the things of God;
The Carnal Man; that is, the man,
who, walking “after the flesh,” re¬
mains a babe in Christ; and The Spir¬
itual Man; that is, the man who is
walking in the Spirit in full commun¬
ion with God. He proved to his audi¬
ence that every man belongs to one
of these three classes.
Sunday afternoon he spoke on
> • The Signs of the Times,” showing
to his hearers that we are living in
the latter days,” and that the “times
of the Gentiles” is drawing to its
close.
On Sunday evening Evangelist
Camp took for his theme, “The Great
Prison House,” in which every child
of Adam is shut up. W’ith
able clearness he showed the only
way of escape; viz., through Christ in
His death, burial and resurrection.
On Monday morning Rev. Camp
with Mr. Smith, visited the Colored
Industrial School, at which he sang, 1
to the delight of all the teachers and
students, and gave an impressive talk i
on I Tim. 1: 15: “This is a faithful
saying and worthy of all accepta-i
tion, that Christ Jesus came unto thei
world to save sinners.”
Mr. Camp goes from here to Perry |
to conduct a meeting with Mr. Smith.

Uidsrwood’s Chances Good
Says Geo.W. B.
Tampa, Fla., Jan.—Urging the
South to stand solidly by Senator
Underwood’s candidacy for the Dem¬
ocratic nomination for the Presiden¬
cy, General W. B. Haldeman, of
Louisville, Ky., sojourning here, ex¬
pressed the opinion that Underwood
has a greater strength throughout
the East and North than any other
prospective candidate.
General Haldeman, a veteran edi¬
tor thoroughly in touch with national
political conditions, when interview¬
ed by the Tampa Tribune said:
“Mr. Underwood is one of the
Southern statesmen who commands
the absolute respect and confidence
of the people of every section of the
country. He is a constructive man, of
vast experience in legislation and has
always been true to Democratic
principles. I believe he would have
a support throughout the East, North
and West that no other prospective
candidate now before the people
could obtain. I know that he is sin¬
cere and that he is right on the great
principles of government. The South

Dasheen Growers Unite
to Boost New
Although the dasheen is a food
great importance in the Orient
was introduced into the southern
states for experimental cultivation
plant explorers of the United
Department of Agriculture more than
15 years ago, it has had to fight
prejudice and the lack of knowledge
concerning its value as a food much
as the now popular potato did in
Europe at one time. Persistance on
part of certain growers who be
lieved in it, however, coupled with
a small demand for the dasheen
Oriental people of the
cities, has developed the production
of this new food to a point where an
average of 10 carloads are sent to
northern markets each season.
^ow these growers have formed a
d as heen association for the purpose
0 f p rom oting their industry and
department is going to help them
enterprise. The Nassau County
(pi a ) Dasheen Association, near
Jacksonville, enjoys the distinction
of being the first association of its
kind in the vegetable world to organ¬
ize for developing a market for a
product before the industry has be¬
come fully established on a produc¬
tion basis itself. Experimental work
both in the growing of the dasheen
and with its eating qualities has prov¬
ed the potential possibilities of the
new crop.

RUBBER PAVING IS BEING
TRIED BY TIRE COMPANY
Akron, 0.—Paving with rubber
blocks was laid early'this month for
the first time in the United States,
by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
in a section of the street fronting
its Akron plant.
The rub’ er blocks resemble com¬
mon paving brick in size and shape,
with the exception of a tongue and
groove construction on two sides to
join the blocks together in a close
union. The bottom and wearing sur
faces of the blocks are smooth.
With the ends and grooved sides
dipped in hot tar compound to form
water-tight joints, the blocks are laid
on a concrete base covered with a
of the tar compound.
Goodyear engineers received per
j mission from the Akron city council
more than a month ago to layasection
t) test rubber block paving compounds
and construction, as well as to de-!
! termine the wearing effect of traf
! fic u P° n the blocks themselves. A
seetion 10 by 12 feet was laid in the
Rlreet directly in front of one of the !
^ actor y entrances where loaded j
1 trucks passing in and out will give
the paving a thorough tryout.
Mayor D. C. Rybolt of Akron laid
the first block under the direction
of Goodyear engineers who were in
charge of the paving.
Purpose of rubber block paving is
two-fold, engineers explain. First, it
reduces traffic vibration found in
other pavements, thus protecting the
mechanism of vehicles riding over it.
On bridges it is said to be the means
of cutting down the steel work re¬
quired to withstand vibrations, also
minimizing crystallization of the j
steel, because the rubber takes
part of the shock created by traffic.
Second, rubber blocks reduce traf
fic noises in deadening and are expected sound in to hospital' prove j
useful
quiet zones, apartment courtyards,
station platforms and other places
where trucking and travel are con
siderable.

Advertise in The Leader-Tribune.!
Cutting Advertising Is
Poor Policy-Read On
Somebody, v/e c!o not know who,
'wrote the following which we find
quoted in the Madison Madisonian:
<< Cutting down on the adver¬
tising appropriation when busi¬
ness is dull i* like cutting down
on the cow feed when the milk
runs short.”
This is so true it scarcely needs
to be emphasized. When busi¬
ness is dull, it is logical to con¬
clude that ail want to make their
money buy as much as it will,
and that they are, therefore,
looking for bargains. No buyer
has ever yet looked for bargains
in a place that does not advertise
them. The logical conclusion is
that the merchant who has bar¬
gains to offer will advertise the
fact in order to obtain trade.
It is no argument to say that
the people have no money and
that, therefore, it is useless to
advertise. The people have mon¬
ey. They may not have as much
some times as they have at
ethers, but they have some, and
they must have at least come of
the things the merchants sell.
They cannot get along forever
without buying.
What is the result? Every one
begins to look around to see
where he can get the most for
his money. Naturally he looks
over his newspaper to see what
is being offered, by whom and at

KITES AND BALLOONS USED
FOR FREE-AIR
In connection with its
investigations the Weather Bureau
the United States Department of
riculture makes man free-air
I tions by means of kites and balloons.
This work has become an
part of the bureau’s program.
servations with kites during the
last year were made regularly
at Broken Arrow, Okla.; Drexel,
Nebr.; Due West, S. C.; Ellendale,
N. Dak.; Groesbeck, Tex.; and Royal
Center, Ind. Kite flights are made
daily whenever possible, and, in addi¬
tion, when conditions are favorable,
continuous Series of flights are made
for periods of 24 to 36 hours. Records
of air pressure, temperature, humid¬
ity, and wind are thus obtained.
Observations by means of pilot
balloons were made at the six kite
stations, above listed, and at Burl
ington, Vt.; Denver, Colo.; Ithaca,
N. Y.; Key West, Fla.; Lansing,
Mich.; Madison, Wis.; San Francis
co, Calif.; Sun Juan, P. R.; hnd
Washington, I). C. The observations
made twice daily at the six kite
and at Key West, Fla.; and
Washington, D. C., and once each
day at (he remaining stations, and
the computed wind conditions at va
rious heights are telegraphed to dis
trict forecast centers at Washing
ton, D. C.; Chicago, 111.; and San
Francisco, Calif.; where they form
the basis for “flying weather” fore¬
casts issued to the military, naval,
and postal aviation services.
Special observations have been
made, when requested, for use in
connection with such events as long¬
distance flights and free-balloon
races.
The third matter of business in
which farmers are still lamentably
their city brethren, lies in
too general failure of farmers to
for what they want or ad
what they wish to sell. Many
farmer has wasted $2 or $3 worth
f time trying by visit or inquiry to
a milk cow for sale, when a
advertisement in his local
would have supplied his need
oijce.—Clarence Poe, in The Pro
Farmer,

what price. He is hunting the
place where his dollars will have
the greatest purchasing power.
He has sense enough to know
that the man who advertises is
not making him pay the adver¬
tising bill. On the contrary, he
knows that the man who does
not advertise, due to the absence
of trade at his place of business
is paying the advertising bill of
the merchant next door who gets
the trade.
When business is dull and the
people have less money to spend
than usual, it is the time for the
merchants to place before \the
buying public such inducements
as he has to offer. When the cow
shows signs of giving less milk
the owner gives her more feed;
he does not cut down on it He
does something that will cause
her to give more milk.
The lesson for the merchant to
learn—that is for those who
have not already learned it—is
that when business is dull feed it,
so that his store will produce
more; and the proper feed is ad¬
vertising.
The merchant who cuts his
advertising bill on account of the
dullness of business is contribut¬
ing to the dullness instead of
livening up business.—Columbus

The following ten commandments
about handling cream are suggested
by Prof. J. P. LaMaster, chief of the
dairy division, as summing up the
laws of good cream production for
better profits.
1. Keep the cows clean.
2. Keep the milk clean.
3. Separate a cream testing 30 or
40 per cent.
4. As soon as separated cool the
cream till it becomes as cold as well
water.
5. Do not mix cool and warm cream
—cool first, then mix.
6 . Do keep cream where vegetables
or meats are stored.
7. Keep cream in cold water, pref¬
erably in a cream-cooling tank.
8 . Deliver cream at least three
times a week in summer and twice a
week in winter—oftener if possible.
9. Install a cream-cooling tank.
10. Remember that good, clean,
cold cream will make good butter,
and good butter is worth more money.
