Long Flight of Tern Made Official Record From northern Michigan to Peru, South America, in nine months Is the record of a common tern re ported at a recent meeting of the Inland Bird Banding association in Chicago. Official records show that the tern was banded at Lone Tree Island, near Sebewaing, Mich., on July 11, 1931, and in less than nine months had turned up at Trujillo, Peru, 500 miles south of the equator. E. R. Ford, secretary of the asso ciation, has expressed the belief that this is the farthest soutli recovery ever made of a bird banded in North America. The tern in question was banded by a graduate student at University of Michigan. Both sender and find er made reports to the bureau of biological survey at Washington, so that the identity of the bird could be traced. To make Children EAT Don't force children to eat! The girl or boy who has no appetite has stasis —which means the child is sluggish. But cathartics have caused more constipation than they ever cured! The “California treatment” Is best—just pure syrup of figs. Try this for a few days, then see how eagerly your youngster will eat. Stimulate the colon and that child with a finicky appetite will devour everything set before him. Here's the simple treatment that does more for babies or older children than all the diets, fad foods, or tonics. Nature has provided tho “medi cine” you’ll need to stir your child's colon muscles into proper action. California syrup of figs. Pure, de licious, harmless. I* acts on the lower colon—where the trouble is. It has no ill effects on the intestines. Begin tonight, with this marvel ous “California treatment.” Any druggist has California syrup of figs, all bottled, with directions. Use enough the first time to cleanse the clogged colon of every bit of poison and hard waste. Then just a little twice a week until the child's appe tite, color, weight and spirits tell you the stasis is gone. Whenever a cold or other upset clogs the system again, use this natural vegetable laxative instead of drastic drugs. WARNING! There are dealers who practice substitution. Be sure to protect your child by looking for the name CALIFORNIA, on the bottle. Blemishes on Face and Shoulders Almost a Year Cuticura Healed "For almost a year I was troubled with blemishes that took the form of pimples and blackheads. My face and shoulders were the affected parts. The pimples were large and red and my shoulders became sore from the rubbing of my shoulder straps. The pimples itched and after scratching them they festered and were so sore that I could not sleep. "People suggested many remedies; I tried all but to no avail. Cuticura Soap and Ointment were suggested and I was completely healed, after using three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment.” (Signed) Miss Helen Mann. 7515 Claridge St., Phila., Pa., .July 21, 1932.

French-Canadian cabinet ; member of parliament, suggests that Canada’s name be changed from Do minion of Canada to Kingdom of Can ada. He says It would have been called “kingdom” originally, but “fear of offending United States sentiment prevented.” Canadians fear nothing, ns the old Cauls told Alexander the Great, “ex cept that the sky may fall on us.” And they certainly need not fear United States sentiment. It would seem rather silly, however, for a free । people, with n king more or less of a figurehead, three thousand miles away, to call themselves a kingdom. All we ask of Canada is to Increase In prosperity and power and act as a good pacemaker for this country. Crisp county, Georgia, built its own i hydro-electric power plant and issued ' bonds to pay for It. Now the county S calls in bonds, [laying them, principal and Interest, before they are due.

A bill in the Massachusetts legisla ture makes it necessary for nonresi dents to buy a permit "before they j may dig Massachusetts worms for fish ing." Calvin Coolidge, who fished with ! worms, would, if present, have some ; thing to say about that. Nonresidents will be puzzled by the worm-digging rule, wondering whether It Is intended - to protect Massachusetts citizens that dig worms as a profession and sell , them to strangers, or to protect the i worms from extermination. It Is a new idea in taxation. Scientists have described variously the difference between a human being and an animal. One says the human being is the | only animal that laughs.

WNU Service WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE. ALAMO, GEORGIA ROOSEVELT CALLS GOVERNORS’ MEET Asks AH of Them to Confer With Him March 6. New York.—President-Elect Frank lin D. Roosevelt has invited the gov ernors of the 48 states to confer with him at the White House on March 6, two days after his inauguration, to discuss ways and means of solving national problems in which the gov ernments of the states and the nation have a common vital interest. in a letter to the governors Mr. Roosevelt outlined five major subjects which he felt should be considered and jointly solved by the nation and the states. “Because so many governors will be in Washington on March 4th,” the letter says, "I want to take that op portunity of holding a conference in relation to a number of matters in which the federal government and the state governments are mutually inter ested. For that reason I want to in vite you to come to the White House on Monday. March 6th, at II :00 a. m., to attend an informal conference. "It is my thought that we should discuss for our mutual benefit certain subjects, such as: "(a) Conflicting taxation by federal and state governments: "(b) Federal aid for unemployment relief; “(c) Mortgage foreclosures, especial ly on farm lands, and "(d) Better land use by afforesta tion. elimination of marginal agricul tural land, flood prevention, etc.; “(e) Reorganization and consolida tion of local government to decrease tax costs. “It is possible that other subjects will occur to the governors or to me as being essential for discussion. “I do not believe that more than one day will be required for this in formal meeting. But it will give me the opportunity of having the pleasure of meeting many of the chief execu tives of the states. I hope much that you will be able not only to come to the inauguration, but also to stay over through Monday for this meeting at the White House." Little doubt was expressed here that all, or nearly al), of the 48 governors will avail themselves of tho President- Elect’s invitation. All but 10 of the governors at present are Democrats, it was pointed out, and are expected to be in Washington for the inaugural ceremonies. | WASHINGTON BRIEFS The house passed the legislative sup ply bill carrying appropriations of ,$16,- 588,000 after voting down an amend ment to reduce salaries of members of congress.

Lesson for February 19 JESUS TEACHING BY PARABLES— THE GROWTH OF THE KING. DOM LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:21.34. GOLDEN TEXT—They shall not hurt nor destroy In all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9. PRIMARY TOPIC — Sharing Our Stories for Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Into All the World. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP lC—Great Growth From Small Begin nings. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOW 4G—The Spread of Christianity. I. The Parable of the Candle (vv. 21-25). The Word which is sown in the par able of the Sower (vv. 1-20) Is not only to bear fruit, but to shine forth in testimony. This obligation Is en forced by a solemn command and warning. “Take heed what ye hear” (v. 24) means that there should not only be attention to what is taught, but whole hearted reception of it. 11. The Parable of the Growing Grain (vv. 26-2!)). This parable is peculiar to Mark. In the light of the purpose of Mark, it is clear why it should appear here. It Is the parable for the servant In tb<» previous parables (vv. 24-25, cf. vv. I 21), the responsibility of the hearer is set forth. The responsibility here is that which devolves upon the servant who proclaims the message. 1. The attitude of mind of the gos pel preacher (vv. 26, 27). He should with the utmost fidelity “cast seed Into the ground,” preach the Word, and leave the results with God. The spiritual processes of God’s Word in the soul of man are shrouded In the deepest mystery. The seed should "spring and grow up, he knoweth not how" (v. 27). When the sowing has been intelligently and faithfully done, the sower should not be burdened with anxiety. He can “sleep and rise night and day." confident that the Al mighty will take care of the processes and results. 2. The processes of the spiritual life are gradual (v. 28). “First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn In the ear.” We should not ex pect maturity of Christian character at once any more than the farmer should expect the crops to mature at Once. The farmer has a time of sow ing, of growing, and of harvest 3. The consummation of the spir itual processes (v. 29). Though the sowing of the seed be done under dif ficulties and the processes of develop ment long drawn out, the harvest will surely come. HI. The Parable of the Mustard Seed (vv. 30-34). In this parable the plant with its great branches, called a tree in Mat thew 13:32, which springs out of the small seed, exhibits the Kingdom In its mystery form, Matthew 13:11. It shows the condition of tilings in the world in the interval between Christ’s going away and his coming again. In this parable three things claim our attention. 1. The unimportant beginning (v. 31). It begins as tile least of all seeds but grows to be the greatest among herbs. The parentage and humble cir cumstances of Jesus greatly per plexed the people. That twelve unlet tered men, most of them fishermen, should be selected as his royal ad visors was still more amazing. The prophet had said of him Unit be would be despised, rejected, forsaken, cut off, having nothing. 2, The vigorous growth (v. 32). From the very beginning of the move ment inaugurated by Christ his Influ ence has gone forth so that there Is no power or influence today in the earth so great as that which calls it self Christian. 3. The lodging capacity. The birds which find lodgment in the branches flo not represent, as is commonly In terpreted, the children of men who find safety and salvation in the church, because church truth is not now under consideration. It Is the mystery of the Kingdom which was proclaimed as at hand by John the Baptist. This Kingdom passed into abeyance when Jesus was crucified and It shall come Into realization when Jesus comes back to earth again. The believer in Christ becomes a vital part of bls body and even is necessary to its strength and fruitful ness. The bird in the branches is something foreign to and independent of the tree. The branches increase the growth of the tree but birds are Injurious and burdensome to It. They are predatory —wafting to pluck off the tender buds or to prey upon the ripened fruit. The effect of such lodg ing is evil and blighting to the tree. Love Love Is known by its gifts, not by Its receipts. "God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son." God loved: he gave. If we love, we will give. Christ said. ”Ts ye love me, keep my commandments." Then If we love him, we will demonstrate our love primarily by obeying him. And when we obey him, we will fully real ize the meaning of giving because we will be anxious to tell others of Christ, only by obedience and self-sacrifice can we walk in his steps. NOW!
