Is somebody asleep at the switch?
Notice has Just been brought to the
attention of the State Board of Edu
cational Lands, which has charge of
the school land leases to potash
rights, that the American Potash
company, which has a lease on a
lake on the John Krause farm about
ten miles north of Antloch, and of
which one-half Is located on school
land of the state, has In eight months
pumped from the lake at least 150,-
000 worth of potash.
The board has held that when any
part of a lake lies on school land
that the state has an Interest In the
waters In the lake, but so far no
action has been taken. In the case
of the American Potash Company,
the section line dividing the land
owned by Krause and leased to the
company, runs almost directly across
the center of the lake.

several months, has proven himself
to be quite a ladies' man and it is
said that he wound his manly self
about the hearts of several of our
fairest belles during the brief time
that he tarried in this little city. It
was not known, however, to those
who were smitten by his charms that
he was a married man and the
methods which he had adopted in
wooing the ladles fair had caused
many of them to wonder If the dash

earnest and wanted to win a home of
his own. "Alas, poor Yorlck," Guid

with indigestion correct your habits

Christian Chnrcli Looking Ahead
Text: Phil. 3:13-14 This one
thing I do for getting the things
which are behind, and stretching for

I press on toward the goal unto the
prise of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus.

ward. Lend a hand." Hale.
Are you satisfied with your past?
A child, building with blocks, will
rebuild if not satisfied. In erecting
a building a man is never satisfied,
but will make some changes the
next time. Day by day we are
building for eternity. Each one
places the material In his own build
ing. Would you prefer another
year Just like the past? I am sure
some changes and perhr.ps many,
would be made. The acts of kind
ness and deeds of love you would de
sire to continue. Each doy you
would add the Christian graces. The
devil's grr.ces, unkind thoughts, Jeal
ousies, and indifference will be for
gotten.
Profiting by the experiences of the
past, let us view the present. Tak
ing an inventory of self, wo discover
what is our real strength an(i what
is our real weakness. Magnify
trength and overcome weakness.
This means meditation, conservation
and Christian activity. We will also
consider the strength and weakness
of the church. Resolve to make
every department normr.l nnd
healthy. The greatest depend upon
our study of present conditions.
Without a constructive program, we
cannot meei the present needs.
Never loose sight of the text book
which Is the word of God.
Our ideals should ever grow high
er, f or tnis year we should set our
standard higher. There should be a
deeper consecration of self. Be
found often on your knees. The
knee drill is beneficial to all. Use
every talent in Christ's service. Let
us realize that living or dleing we are
the Lord's. The affirmative "yes'
will be give to any reasonable re
quest. I will not criticise others
when I am unwilling to undertake
the Job. I will not only grow in
grace, but with God's help I will
make the church a hotter church.
I will endeavor always to be hope
ful. Christ was never pccsimlstic.
He taught that at some time truth
would prevail. No wonder when
speaking through Paul, He said, "Be
not weary in well doing for in due
