Excellent Sleeting Saturday
The little city of Murray wao fill-

J excellent program w hich was put on

Jly interested in making Murray one

. well as a most progressive commun

The parts all were excellent and
t ho quartette from Omaha rendered
most melodious music and their ef

SELLING AT GOOD PKICES
The readjustment period following
the World war has hit the farmers
of the middle west a pretty bar:'
jolt. The peculiar conditions of
tarming compel the farmer to con
tinue his production and to farm his
entire acreage whether he is taking a
loss or proiit. This appears to be a
very sano arrangement that Nature
lias forced upon the farmer. We now
see the readjustment bringing the
farmers' products to a higher sale
value and the farm dollar approach
ing nearer a fair valuation in com
parison with the industrial dollar.
The farmers of Cass county know
that good land is a safe investment
and that the pendulum of fair prices
is swinging back and approaching a
square deal. This is evidenced by
the fact that during 192 4 land has
changed hands or contracts have
been executed for the purchase of
land in Cass county running from
to S225 per acre. Actual sales
of improved farms have been made
as follows:
160 acres at $1S5.
SO acres at $1U.
One half section and a quarter
section at $197.
120 acres at $212.
SO acres and a quarter section at
$200.
Two SO-acre farms. a 100-acre
farm and
per acre.
a 1 GO-acre farm at
These representative sales show-
returning conlideme of the farming
population in the surest and safest
of all investments a Cass county
farm.
All business realizes that a de
pressed agricultural population
means general business depression.
The above sales serve as a good omen
for future business conditions both
rrorn the farmer's point c f view and
from the point of view of the manu
fatcurer and the retailer.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, August 3rd
By M. S. Brig-s
"Selects Good Helpers"
Cxolden Text: 'Follow Me."
The selection of men fitted for a
particular task is often times a most
perplexing question, and while labor
is plentiful, so far as the common
sort is concerned, the matter of get
ting the right man for the right
place, when that place is one of im
portance, is a question which in
vtdves much discrimination and an
executive ability far in excess of the
ordinary kind.
When a new president is selected,
the selection of his cabinet is a ques
tion involving many perplexing fea
tures, and the greatest care should (
be taken iu making the proper selec- j
tions. and while a man might be all ,
right for postmaster general, he.
probably would fall down when it ;
comes to filling the position of sec-j
rttary of state. The same might be j
true when it comes to the selection j
of attorney general the man fitted j
for this position might not be quali- t
fied to act as secretary of the treas-
tuy. j
Jesus Christ, the son of God, who
was sent to this world with a mis
sion to perform far more important
than any that could be elelegated by
man, and having had instruction by
vision from high heaven. He needs
be endowed with a sense of precision
far surpassing mortals, to make no
mistake in his choice.
In His selection He gathered to
gether not men already educated and
with their minds set in one direction
whom it would be necessary to un-eduv-ate
beiore they could be prop
erly schooled in the divine truths.
His selection in the first place was
of unlearned fishermen. but with
minds receptive t othe great truths
which were to be imparted to them.
Even after they had been with the
Master for three years they did not
see ll's real mission until their eyes
bed been opened by the experiences
of His death and subsequent resur
rection. Then they saw the things
which He had done and taugnt. were
a portion of the great plan of God.
as outlined in the scriptures.
The day following the instance
when John the Baptist had said, "Be
hold the Lamb of God. which taketh
away the sin of the world." and two
of the disciples had followed Him.
and abode with him that evening. He
said unto another, "Follow Me.'
Andrew, when he had found the
Master, straightaway went forth and
sought his brother, Simon, and said.
"We have found the Messiah of whom
the prophets wrote Jesus of Naza
reth." Simon queried, "Can any so
guod thing come out of Nazareth?"
whereupon Andrew replied, "Come
and See."
When he had come to the Master,
he was accosted by Him, who said
to him, "Your name is Simon, but it
shall hereafter be Cehhas. which is
by interpretation Peter, or a rock."
This character was needed in the
(ompany of men who should be en
dowed by the Holy Spirit in the years
to come, and Peter, though a rock,
found tiiat all of that characteristic
which he possessed was needed for
th2 trials that were to come to him.
"erer thought after his association
with the Master for a time that he
was strong enough not to be over
come by the influence of the evil
one. At the time of the last supper
lie had confidently said. "Though all
all the world forsake Thee, still I
will not forsake Thee." He had
truly thought that this was so, and
that he would not deny the Master,
and his earnestness of conviction is
evidenced when he drew his sword
and becan to fight, thus demonstrat
ing his sincerity in what he had
said.
But after. Christ had told him to
put up his sword, he wondered what
about this anyway, and when the
tapering finger of a woman was
pointed at him and she accused him
of being one of the Savior's bans, he
denied that he ever knew Him. This
he did, not once, but thrice, and it
was not until after the resurrection
when they had gone back to their
old time trade as fishermen, and the
Master had appeared to them as they
fished and told them to cast their net
on the other side of the ship, after
they had fished all night without suc
cess, and by so doing doing they
caught 153 fish, enough to break the
net, that their eyes were opened to
the fact that it was the Lord. The
Master said to Peter, "Simon, lovest
thou Me more than these?" and the
reply was, "Yea. Lord." Then came
the command, "Feed My sheep" re
peated three times, that it might
more fully bring to Peter recollec
tion of his denial. Henceforth Peter
never denied his Master and in like
manner was crucified for the faith in
the Master, even in a more humiliat
ing way than was Jesus, for he was
crucified with his head downward.
Christ's selections were all good
for the purpose for which they were
made. The scriptures corroborate the
f,ood choice which he made, for all
subserved their special purpose and
mission. Even Judas performed his
task cf betraying the Master for the ;
thirty pieces of silver, only to re- i
pent immediately afterward and go I
out into tne blackest night without
so much as a ray of hope, there to
commit suicide and in him there is
pictured the blackest act of all the
criminal records of the world.
NEW SON ARRIVES

nounced the fact that a fine little
seven pound son had arrived at the

Huia at their home in this city. The
