A net profit of $1,323.72 was made from a flock of 114 hens by Mrs. M. E. Pierce of near Rokeby, whose flock topped the nine record flocks in Lancaster county, figures compiled by County Agent Purbaugh Tuesday morning show. Mrs. Pierce's hens averaged 209 eggs for the year and brought a gross return og $1,617, 87. Expenses were $294.15. Albert Egger with a flock of seventy-five hens made the second best record with 173 eggs per year. The nine flocks brought a gross total of $6,493.39 with expenses amounting to $2,478.42 and a net profit of $4,014.97. There were 1, 245 hens in the flock and the averase number o feggs per year was 140, making a net profit per flock of an average of 138 hens, $446.11. The other record flock owners were: Mrs. Eiton Lux. University Place; Mrs. Clarence Jense, Bennet; Mrs. Thomas George. Denton; Mrs. C. E. Johnson, Roca; Mrs. Henry Doon, University Place; Mrs. A. R.

The time in caring for the flocks is not counted as an expense in the computations made. Mrs. Pierce sold 6ome of her eggs at a high price for brooding purposes.

He mifiht have likened it to the fire-and-brimestone of Calvinism; but he didn't he told it just as it is. with the fire loss of life runniriK to 16. 000 or more a year, mostly women and children and hospital inmates. It's almost as bad in America as the World War; and infinitely less defensible, for there is in the fire loss no plea for national honor, no protest against outside assault, but only personal greed and careless bravado. It is a moral and spiritual question that the church might well take up and handle without gloves. Have you anything to cell! Tell the corld about it through the Jour nal's Want Ad department.

Don Seiver, REX TOUrO. A-UCUoueer F. A. CLOrDT, Clerk LI I a. oioir crunni irccmr 4 4 i 4- Sunday, Nov. 27th v- ,. By M. S. Briggs Golden Text "Who Bhall ascend the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart." Psalms 24:3-4. We were very busy this week and among the other, things which came to us, we did not get to prepare the (lesson, and, so have drafted Rev. P., H. Welshimer, a teacher at canton, Ohio. We thank him for a better lesson than we can write: Hypocrisy Denounced I "The hypocrisy of his time, the in-j sincerity in worship, the formalities of the flay, the offering of sacrifice without any heart in it, the irrev- erence of the people, the sinful in-; dulgences of the multitudes, stirred the soul of Isaiah. He began at the , top and went to the bottom, address- ing himself to the rulers of Sodom1 'and to the people of Gomorrah. There j comes a time when even uoa is ois gusted with the mere pretense of the people. There seemed to be an idea in the olden day that if one offer ed a number of sacrifices he could get by with any kind of sin, just as today some neonle seem to think if they wear good clothes, live in a j fashionable section of the city, make some display of their gifts to the un I fortunate, go to church occasionally, ithey can do about as they please and ipass. it on for righteousness. But God is no respector of persons. To Him sin is 6in in any guise, regardless of who commits it. "The courts of Jehovah had been trampled. They who came did not come to any purpose. but merely ! tramped about, just as some today 'may attend the worship with no j thought of worship, no intention of I being helped, just to have some place to po. "Oblations and incense, the wor ship of special days and the calling of assemblies were an abomination ,unto Jehovah. These things were all , right in their place when they were : used as an honest, legitimate means jto an end, but when they were mere performances, they were nauseating. 'Tho special days, such as new moons and sabbath, meant nothing to the mind of the average Jew. Now. there is a danger that the same condemna tion may rest upon us. What does the Lord's tlay mean to the people of God? What about Christmas, j Easter, Thanksgiving pnd other holy daye? Too frequently they become ;days of carousal, having a good time, i feast and display. If there be no heart or spirit in the keening of a day and in tie worship which brings people Together, the whole thing is : a mockery. "Learn to Do Well" ' "Isaiah suggested a process of 'cleansing and repentance. If the people truly repented, they would r,n away evil ar.d cease to follow it. Doinrr well comes not spasmodically, .nor d-es one acquire the heart over-jT-iM, but the prophet said, 'Learn to do veil.' Otherwise, learn what idol':? well is, and then kept at it persistently until you can function properly all the tim. Justice Is a mighty word. They vre to seek "t. Then they were to relieve the op pressed, look after the fatherless and pie.-i'l the cause of the widow. Here comes practical religion. That sound like a chapter out of the teaching of Jesus. The F5:Me is always the same. The humanitr rian spirit in the Bible is paramount. "The religion of Jehovah is a reas onable thing. The prophet said: 'Let us reason together.' He has been talking here of a sin-cursed people. Now relief comes. 'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shalr-be as wool.' 'There is hope for the worst. Think of scarlet sins, and sins as red as crimson. One can be cleans- 'ed and become as white as snow and as wool. This can not be done by merely making good resolutions. One can not take a bath and put on a clean suit of clothes and proclaim himself a changed man. When a ii:t sins he sins against God. and hence God must grant forgiveness. This He always has promised to do. We now live under the Christian dis pensation. The atonement of Jesus Christ is efficacious. Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures. To the believing Jews of Jerusalem, Peter said, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins. To Paul. Ananias said, "Arise, and be baptized and wash away your sins.' Jesus said, 'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." "The j blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us ; from all sin.' 'Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.' Here we have it in a nutshell. Christ died to save men., He has given a divine plan to be followed in secur ing the forgiveness of sins, and when we comply with the plan, meet the Lord where he promised to meet us, we have the assurance that He will do what He promised to do and He promised to forgive our sins when we comply with all the conditions. We are talking now of the plan that has been in force since Pentecost."

U. S. TO ORGANIZE GUARD Washington. Nov. 21. Reorgan ization of the Nicaraguan National guard under command of American officers was provided for in the agreement, negotiated by Henry L. Stimson as President Coolidge's per sonal representative, which termin ated the civil war in that country. Pending reorganization of the Na tional guard under American com mand, the force of marines in Nic aragua was augmented to insure an cdequate police force. There is no indication, however, that the force of American marines in Nicaragua will be substantially reduced for some time and it is vir tually certain that a considerable number of marines will be retained there to back up the National guard until after the election. Reorgan ization of the national guard has been moving slowly, Washington of ficials explained because of difficul ties of the Nicaraguan government in financing the work. JAPANESE JAILED Hoquiam, Wash.. Nov. 18. Fif teen Japanese were held in jail to day in an asserted plot to smuggle orientals into the United States. Six Japanese, including three from the crew of the steamship Buyo Maru, were arrested last night after an immigration inspector had announc ed that five Jauanete had dieapptar ed from an unnamed veEfrcl in the harbor. Isformation Reservations Tickets R. W. CLEMENT Ticket Agent Nuptial Knot Tied in Trial Marriage Ceremony Uniting Youthful Kansas Pair Fully Conventional But in Way of Experiment. Girard. Kas.. Nov. 22. A matri monial experiment accepted as pure ly a companionate one, entailing no financial responsibilitie s of home haking was entered upon here today by Miss Josephine Haldeman-Julius, eighteen and Aubrey C. Roselle. twenty. Dr. L. M. Birkhead. pastor cf All Souls Unitarian church, Kan sas City, united the young couple at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Haldeman-Julius, Girard publishers and authors, who are ad vocates of companionate marriage. The ceremony was conventional in every respect, but Roselle and his bride agreed, with the support of their parents, that each would be free to carve out a career without immediately taking out a career without immediately taking on the responsibility of establishing a home. Next Monday the bride will return : to her classes at the Girard high i sc hool. Walter Wallece, superinten dent of schools, said he approved the marriage and saw no reason why Mrs. Roselle should not complete her ttudics. Roselle is employed in his fath-er-inlaw's publishing house and in tends to re-Titei th University of Kansas as a student the next semes ter. Ke explained it was neceEary for him to work his way thru school and he would be unable to provide a home for two until he had com pleted a law course and cstablifched himself in his profession. The bride plans to take up a dancing career. Both said a companionate marriage would permit them to enjoy each other's compar.shiop without sacri ficing their education as many school mates had done. "So many girls, especially those in school, have affairs and they would be better off, and more capable of putting their minds cn their work if they were married," said the bride. Mrs. Haldeman-Julius expressed the belief that the marriage would finally terminate in a true "family marriage." State Journal.
