Whenever you have some nagging ache

that Bayer Aspirin won't relieve and
never a time when you can't take it.
The tablets with the Bayer cross are
always safe. They will not depress the
heart, or otherwise harm you. Use them
as often as they can spare you any pain
or discomfort. Just be sure to buy the
genuine. Examine the box. Beware of
imitations.

Parables of Jesns.
By L. Neitzel.
-Til E GREAT SUPPER
Luck 14:14-24
Our Father is very much in earn
est about mens harp'ness and well
being. He use - many ways and means
to draw mai's attention to Himself
and the way. where he can be happy.
In this parable God uses the illustra
tion of B man making a great supper:
to show men how much He cares,
and to what length He goes to pro
vide the best for men. For four thou
sand year God was preparing the
great supper, and in the fulness of
time He sent His Son. to call men
to the fetist. The anticipation, by
all God-fearing Jews, war raised to
a h'eh pi'ch. -s we see by the pre
sentation of Jesus n the Temple,
were Simon and Anna welcomed the
"Babe." The prophets of the old dis
pensation pointed the people, the
Jews, to the coming ol the Messiah:
the last one is John the Baptist. God
paid a great price for this supper.
It is great and ample, enough for
all people: "And in this mountain
shall the Lord of hosts make unto
all people a feast of fat things, a
feast of vines, of fat thiftgs full of
marrow, of wines well refined."
Isp 25-6. Tree thousand seven
hundred and eighty-two times, sound
the blessed word "Come!" in the
I Bible. God is' in earnest, hence the
repition. Listen to God's gracious
invitation: "Ho, every one that
thristth. come ye to the waters, and
he that has no money: come ye buy
and eat: yea. come, buy wine and
i milk without money and without
Pprlee." Isa. f5:l. Then listen to the
1 text of the sermon preached in the
y:i: gogiie of Nazartilh: "The spirit
of the Lord is upon me: because the
Iord hath anoited me to preach good
tidings unto the meek: he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
prciim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them
that are bound, to proclaim the ac
ceptable year of the Lord, and the
day of vengence of our God; to com
fort all that mourn." Isa 61:1-2.
But how have men reacted on the in
vitation? The call comes from God;
, but man can accept or reject, it is
left to his free will. The Jews re-
i jacted the Christ and the great sup
per, or Gospel feast. Jetus made one
; supreme, last effort to call His peo-
1 pie to accept God's great offer: "If
any man thirst, let him come unto
me, and drink." John 7:37. The
most of the excuses that man make
are not sincere, not honest, very
flimsy. Now as then, men are very
clever at making excuses, but they
know in their hearts, that they are
lying. Who would buy a piece of
property without seeing it first?
Who would buy oxen, and not know,
before paying for them, if they were
the kind he wanted? Who would be
so unkind, and not take bis wife
with him to a banquet? If people
could only realize what God has pre
pared in Christ Jesus for the Soul
of men, surely none would hesitate,
but would act like the prodigal son,
"arise and go." there is satisfaction,
peace and joy. that passeth all un
derstanding, the love of God she.!
abroad in our hearts, the witness of
the Holy Spirit that the sins are for
given; a faith that does not shrink,
but trusts God. under all circum
stances. Thy will be done, is the
voice of faith, then hope fills the
soul, and joyful the child of God
says: "It doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that when
He shall appear, we shall be like
Him, for we shall see Him as he is."
John 3:2. friends! All things are
ready now: come and eat. that your
soul be filled: and make ready to
meet your God!
Do You Know
that we consider
no work finished
until the custo
mer is satisfied?

MANUFACTUBING RIVALS
AGRICULTURE IN NEERASKA
Nebraska is a manufacturing state.
That may sound like a strange
statement to those who have adopted
the idea that Nebraska is pre-eminently
a state of crops and livestock.
But when it is known that the value
of manufactured products in 1929
was only $1 2,000.000 below the pro
ducts of agriculture, the importance
of manufacturing takes on new signi
ficance. The value of manufactured pro
ducts reached a total of $484,000,000
in 1929, as compared witli $420,000.
000 in 1927 and $590,000,000 in
lf 19. The gross Income from agri
culture for the year ended June 30.
1929. was $496,000,000. which is
the highest since 1920. Thus it wili
be seen that there is only twelve
million dollars difference between
agric ulture and industry for the per
iod in which latest figures are avail
able. The basis of manufacturing statis
tics is the report prepared by the fed
eral census bureau from figures ob
tained in the 1930 census. Manu
facturing gave employment to 28,
219 people in 19 29. The wages they
received totaled $36.8S3,000. In ad
dition to the amount paid to wage
workers, a total of $14,463,000 was
paid in salaries to 6,539 officials and
employees.
The raw material consumed in
manufacturing enterprises is quite
generally from the farms of the
state. Meat products are the largest
item and give Omaha a high rating
as a manufacturing center. Creamery
butter is a product of immense im
portance, giving Nebraska fourth
place as a butter place. Nebraska
wheat is converted into Nebraska
flour in some of the finest mil's in
the country. Nebraska sugar is pro
duced from Nebraska sugar beets.
The cost cf raw materials used in
manufactures was $364,306,000.
The number of industries grew
from 1927 to 1929. from 1.277 U
1.490. which indicates the growing
industrial spirit of the people and
the well expressed tendency to di
versify the interests of the stau
Omaha leads all cities of the state
in manufactured prodmts with a
total of $353,158,836. Lincoln wa
econd with $22,666,542.

in Nebraska includes: Agricultural
