At the Public Sale. There are not so many public sales this season as generally, but they are all well attended and this looks like an omen of good tims to come. for fewer people are getting out of the farming game.

T..T..T. f BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON s Sunday, February 19 t By M. & Brlggs Golden Text: "Who then is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" Mark 4:41. Proves Himself the Master Christ had been teach' ntj by the sea side and had given some lessons in agriculture, and had expounded how the grain grew, and how it fail ed to produce a harvest, and drew a very excellent lesson from the story. He also taught how adversary had sown weed seeds in the ground and thus impaired the crop of wheat. Also the parable of the mustard seed and how from this small beginning, grew the great herb, because it had the life and the faith to look to the Fath er, and was always growing towards the sun. When he had taught all day and performed many healings and the evening was come and like other men. he being tired from his long clay's work, the disciples being there, lie said unto them, "Let us go over to the other side of the sea." And so the disciples, who had their boats, took him in one of them and started for the other side. The Mas ter, who had been very busy and at hard work, was tired and sleepy, and as he entered the boat, he reclined on a cushion in the rear of the boat. and the disciples, hearty, strong men fo they had been fishermen most of their lives, took up the oars and started for th opposite side of the Sea of Gallilee, and had gotten well out from the land, when all of a sudden one of thoie storms came up. which are characteristic for their suddenness and violence, and the boat was tossed about and was fill ing with water. The disciples, know ing pi the weary condition of the Master, were wor.t to allow him to rest and even allowed him to. con tinue to sleep until the storm hit in all its fury, and they thinking that there was a chance of them all being drowned, hastened to awake the Mat ter and said to him. "Carest thou not that we perish?" and from this the poet has converted into that beauti ful son?: taresi I iiou i:ui iiiai we i perish : 1 How canst Thou lie asleep When each moment so mad- ly is threatening A grave in the angry deep?" As Christ awoke and seeing the ;torr.i in its fr.ry and the waves A-ahiiig over the side of the hoat.j He arose and rebuked the waves and -said unto the sea. "Peace, be still." j At his voire and command, the rag-; ng of the sea was immediately stop ped the sea was again calm and! beautiful. Then he said unto the. bol l fishermen, who had experienced j manv a severe storm and should have' l.-now-Ti kiiup tliev ba-1 been with him - - 'hat he would not allow them to per - ah, for had he not taught tnem in many of his teachings. Then a .-. hiie tl.oy might have thought have said "Masior, the tcmpist is iv ging. The billows are tossing high : Earth s sky is o'er shadowed with blackness. No shelter or help is nigh." Still Jesus had a lesson to teach them that their faith might be given rrength, when he said, "Peace be still." and also said unto them. "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?" They were surprised and commun ed among themselves, saying. "What manner of man is this that even the winels and the sea obey him?" Then came to them that wonderful cheer ing refrain, and gave assurance to them in their trouble and their fear, as follows: "No waters shall swallow the ship where lies The Master ot ocean and eari h and skies: They all shall sweetly obey thy will! Peace. Peace, be still." The assurance which came to them in the end. lor an was men peace and caim, was well worth the fear which they experienced before their fith was strengthened, and the ar rival at the destination, the other side of tbe sea. People Fear end Wonder When the little party caim to the shore in the country of the Cadder ness they embarked and found there a crowd of men with a maniac- whom they had bound many times and found nothing that could hold him, se they tobi Jesus about him anel how he was running wild in the fastnesses of the wilderness and mountains and cutting himself on tbe sharp stones. The Master asked that he be brought to him. and while he was being brought in, the evil spirits which held the man a slave and compelled him to commit many evil acts cried out unto Christ, "We know who thou art: why have you come to torment us before our lime," and asking that he allow them to remain and not drive them from that country. A Wonderful Manifestation Then commanded Christ the devils (for there were legions of themj to come out of the man, and allowed them to enter a herd of swine which were pasturing and eating such as the place provided, and when they had entered into the hogs, the ani mals ran down the steep hill and were drowned in the sea. Then went the people who were near and witnessed this manifesta tion of the powers of Christ, into the city, where they told everyone they met, who came out and found the man sitting and la his right mind, and also were told about the Fwine running into the sea. Great fear came on those present and they asked il ANOTHER OLD FASHIONED Legion Bldg., Plattsmouth A big Family Party just like the last one two weeks ago with every one having- a good time.

Then did Jesus and the disciples depart from that piace and the man who was so miraculously heab'd beg ged to be allowed to accompany the Master, but he suffered him not, tell ing him to go back home and to his own town and tell what wonderful things the Lord had done for him. This in order that all might believe. On last Sunday we visited the Bible school which" meets under the Library, in Plattsmouth, and is con ducted by the Reorganized church of Latter Day Saints. We found them very much interested in their les sons, which are different than the j International Bible school lessons, so general! aoopieci over ine uun.iii. They were getting much good from their studies. Demand for Nebraska Farms is increasing j Burlington Finds That Desire for Western Farming Lands on the Increase. With Nebraska's crop records Tor 1927 heralding one of the best crops in the history of the state, it is not surprising that there is an increased demand for farms,' with farms for rent scarcer than they have ever been. On account of the large number of ir.cmiries received for land. Yal Kus- ka of Omaha, colonization agent for the Burlington railroad, rece ntly cir- cuhirized bankers throughout Ne braska for n report on farms for rent to secure listing of vacant farms. March first is moving day on the farm. Imt three-fourths of the Ne braska bankers replied that there are absolutely no farms for rent in their communities.

L. Dayton, President of the i Pace State bank, writes that he could rent 100 farms this year if they were I available. Geo. K. Ryan, of the Haz Jard State bank, reports that farms for rent aie the scarceist they have been in his community. "We have 20 renters for every ' farm that is for rent," reports the Riverton State bank. E. S. Murray, of the Farmers State bank at Eloom j iugton, advises that the local demand has been greater than the supply for the last two or three years. G. F. Hall, president of the State Rank of Orleans, states that there are fewer farms for rent each succeeding yar in the Orleans vicinity. I The Farmers State bank of Eustis I reports that they would have ten j re-nters for every farm if any were j for rent. The Marion State bank 'could have rented 20 farms this year if they had been available. The Wil i sonville State bank had five appli j cants for every farm on their list. j "Farms for rent are a scarcity as n' ver known here before." says ("has. Novak, cashier of the Venango State bank, "and it is even hard to get un improved land to rent. Many are Free!
