Tool, reporter. 1 trustful heart of the great Apostle, 'speak in more consolatory, yet more 'moving accents; in no portion of his ' writings is there a loftier tone of Christian courage, than that which 'pervades these, so to speak, dying i words, nowhere a holier rapture, than 'that with which the reward and i crown of faithful labor is contem plated as now exceeding nigh at hand. While at the time of writing, i a fierce persecution under Nero was 'in progress, Paul forsees a very try ling time for Timothy and the church, j hence his exhortation to be firm and i steadfast; to be bold and frank in his testimony 1,8; showing by his 'own example for our encouragement, ; what a follower of Jesus Christ has to expect, 1, 12; pointing out to j Timothy, that, in these trying times, when the faith of the disciples was i put to a test, how they failed him, ll, 13; but gives due credit to that i staunch friend and brother Onesi jphorus, how he visited him and re ' freshed him, 1, 16. Times have not changed much, 'since this epistle was written. Condi tions are much the same. Our pres ent day preaching and teaching has not any of the elements of Chapter 2, in it, we have taken a different i attitude; we make it so easy for man. that we havo produced a church membership, that is "neither cold nor hot." with no enthusiasm, no energy, nor strength of character, to "en dure hardness as a soldier of Jesus Christ" 2, 3; nor will man consecrate, his life to the Lord, like a soldier ito him that choose hiin; nor will men put forth the energy and endur ance in the race for the prize that is set before us, 2. 5; hence we have a phlegmatic, cold, lifeless church. The reading of the epistle ought to stir up the preachers, that they put forth effort, that Paul's exhort ion to Timothy, verse 15, should be their aim. The warning in Chanter 3, is a very timely one; the preacher must be able to read the signs of the times, and he instantly able to point them icut and combat them with the word 'of truth. What a responsible position i does the preacher occupy! It would seem, that he must enter the pulpit, with fear and trembling, when he preaches "the word." The eternal 'destiny of some immortal soul, may ! depend upon that sermon. When we ponder the injunction to Timothy 4,5. "do the work of an Evangelist, " I then it seems that many preachers of todaj- fall short. Few follow this in 1 junction, hence the many "hired Evangelists." hence the superficial work, and the condition of the i church, no life, no power, no pro ' gress. The verses 6, 7. 8, Chapter 4. read like a valadictory. What a comfort land consolation must it be. if the i preacher can look back on his life's work as a minister and pastor and look the Master 1n the face without l flushing and say: "I have fought a igood fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." j Pauls imprisonment in Rome, has , opened this prolific writer's heart to ti e world, and we can see the deep I concern and solicitude he had for the Kingdom and individuals. Un der the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he has left the church a legacy, if properly understood and used, will produce a live, vigorous, active i church, that will be fit to be the bride jof Lamb, and occupy in that great day. the place of honor, in the Fath er's house. This ends the writings of Paul from Rome. The world would have lost a great deal had this man not been put in prison. We also think of John Buyan in Medford prison, that gave us "Pilgrims Progress."

SCHOLL "My feet are ny greatest sourc of pain and discomfort," writes a correspondent, "and have bu n for years, though I remember no .-uch condition before I reached my teens for I was continually bare foot at the time. Now I can scarcely walk across the p-nr barefoot. My feet are so te: 1 he trouble started when I xw.j a girl of seventeen. Like all Rrirls I worn a pair of shoes I liked, whether they fitted or not. Rut for the last two years I hAyi dis continued tiffht. high heeled jaoes. Are high heels harmful?" No. A reasonable height of heel ts not necessarily harmful. There are cases where It Is advisable. Of course, I have seen many cases where Illness has followed the u.e of hisrh heels due to improper bal ancing of the body weight. Truth is we abuse the foot mora thau any other part of the human anat omy. We crowd it into tight, high heeled shoes, walk upon it in a distorted position, overtax its strength without giving it suffi cient rest, and give it no more at tention than is required for per sonal cleanliness. But nature will not be cheated and we pay the price of our thoughtlessness. When a woman who has not been used to them suddenly adopts hiuh heeled shoes, there is a ten dency to tip the body forward and to overcome this tendency she is obliged to exert muscular effort. There are certain compensatory changes in the muscles and in the position of the limbs and back. But the foot may become accus tomed to a reasonable heicht of heel. The development of the use of heels may be very gradual, be ginning with the child. The aver ago child i;tarts out with flat or very low heeled shoes as its first pa:r of hard soled shoes. Next come wedges and then spring heels. Then gradually, an extra lift is added, and especially a girl, by the time High School ag is reached, will usually bs wearing shoes with some height of heel, and the foot will have become ac customed to them. While this change Is being brought about. Nature In her own gracious way. is Trreshortening the muscles of ihe oalf and ths Achilles tendon attached to the os calcis, or heel bone, until the foot finally as sumes in a relaxed condition the position of the high heeled shoe. The muscles have "taken up the. slack, as it were, and to suddenly adopt low heeled shoes may sub ject them to severe strain. If a woman is contemplating a Fudden change from high to fiat or low heeled shoes It will be well for her to consult a reputable special ist and act on his advice. Serious consequences to health may follow if she is not under competent di rection. Her feet may not be In condition to withstand the change without severe foot and leg pains.

It is then, in a relaxed condition. In the position of the high heeled shoe. The space thus left between the heel and the rule should indicate the corect height but computation must be made by an expert. Reas onably hlerh heels are not neces sarily harmful, but extreme high heels are injurious. Don't chango suddenly from high to low and low to high heels.

Van Allen of Platte Center, convicted last month of robbing the Farmers National bank of this city of $1,338, under advisement and would announce his decision on Dec. 4. Judge Ligntner listened t argu I meats from both counsels for the de jfense. Attorney Walters of Columbus, and Attoruey Patterson of Central City, and County Attoruey Raecke, who handled the case for the state. Van Allen's attorneys based their plea for a new trial and the change of venue on alleged lack of evidence presented during the trial by the Jstate. Declaring that, to this date, the state had failed to discover the whereabouts of the car driven by the hank robber; had nevr recovered any of the stolen money, nor had def initely proved that Van Allen had even been away from his some near Platte Center on the day or tne hank robbery, Van Allen's counsel main tained that the jury had rendered a prejudiced verdict. County Attorney Raecke in an swering the arguments of tho de fense counsels stated that witnesses for the state had positively identified Van Allen as the man who held up the cashier of the Farmers National bank, took the money and disappear ed. He also introduced affidavits made by the members of the jury that convicted Van jIien which stated that, in their opinion, their verdict had been reached after just and due consideration of the testi mony offered during the trial, that they believed Van Allen to be the guilty party and would not favor a new trial or a change of venue.

The tentative plan decid ed upon by the committee represents a compromise between the positions of the government and the states. Secretary Wilbur's original sug gestion vas that only surface rights be yielded, while representatives of many of the eleven; public land states insisted that subsurface lights be in cluded in the transfer. Tentative pro- is voted bv fho committee in l:!uds: v That the president and secretary of the interior be given power to ne gotiate with the states, at the states' (request, to provide for the transfer.

Farm Relief Provided. Flood control by the government where needed, under a policy similar to that pursued in the Mississippi valley. Provision by congress for a farm relief fund to repay irrigation districts thru loans on the basis of appiaised lands. Continuance by the government of the federal highway program on a more equitable basis for states with great areas but of small population. Interstate agree ments covering water control and elimination of theories of federal ownership and control, with the dis missal of all pending cases predicated upon such policies. Recognition of state sovereignty in dealing with control, development and utilization of resources, with the assistance of the government where more than one state is involved. Nebraska Is in List. Many of the major suggestions agreed upon by the committee were advocated by Nevada, in which lies nearly one-third of the remaining 178,969,146 acres of public domain. The balance of the larger units is di vided among Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mex ico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Smaller acreage is in North and South Dakota, Florida, Arkansas, Ne braska, Minnesota and Washington. Transfer of the land would not do away with the chief administra tive duties of the general land of fice, as completion of surveys and other details would require several years, and other duties of the land office would be unchanged.
