Mrs. H. A. 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."

"My feet are ny greatest sourc
of pain and discomfort," writes a
correspondent, "and have bu n for
years, though I remember no .-uch

teens for I was continually bare

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

of heels may be very gradual, be

come wedges and then spring

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

The space thus left between the

Central City Judse Louis Light
ner in district court here on Wednes
day announced that he would take
the nlea for new trial and a change
of venue of Peter F. 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.

Washington Transfer of the pub
lic domain to the states with the
reservation by the government of sub
surface rights in known miueral
;!ie is will be the basis upon which
final action will be taken in January
by President Hoover's public lands
committee. 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.
Survey Given Approval.
That a survey be made by fed
. oral and state representatives to de
termine government needs for fu
j preserves, parks, national monu
i ments, power sites, fuel supplies, etc.
State administration' and policing of
I the acreage and recognition of

by the government. Control of na

vent undue upsets. Contiiv -nee of

revenues from oil anc. gas leases.
Sale of power developed upon re
clamation projects to repay costs of
the reclamation, and division of
later income into 10 per cent for the
government; 37 1-2 per cent to the
states; and 52 1-2 per cent to the
reclamation fund.
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.
