Girls Help at Threshing.

five .of he girl friends to help Peter
HlmBel, owner of the largest farming
Interests In Pike couuty, to thresh his
wheat crop. Besides Miss Rhoades,
Louis Clark, Verda Dempscy, Maude,
and Helen Harris and Edna Gray as
sisted Mr. Hlmsel. The girls helped
load and unload the wheat wagons and
also drove the wagons from the field
to the threshing machine.
rnrls, although the verdict nt that time
was unanimous that tho Germans had
Invented a marvelous new cannon.
Naval Gun Was Foundation.
To begin on the super-ennnon, the
Germans took a wornout 15-lnch naval
gun, CO feet In length. It was bored
out and a very heavy tube with an in.
side diameter of 8.3 inches was Insert
ed, with about 40 feet of it projecting,
beyond the end of the orlglnul gun.
Over that another hoop wus shrunk
and locked to tho forward hoop. Ther
also, was n patch of 10.7 feet, which
was uttached at, tho muzzle of tin
gun.
The bore of the gun vros treated to
a uniform rilling, the lanes and
grooves which Impart a rotary motion
to the projectile. The six-meter sec
tlon of the gun at the muzzle, how
ever, wns unrlilcd, probably designed
to steady the projectile and defeat Its
sllg&t tendency to "tumble" or yaw
and fall to travel directly to its mark.
Such "tumbling" Is reused by the con
flict of two forces, one spinning the
projectile to the right, the other send
ing It forward. Such a force had to bo
obviated as the shell had to travel up
ward 24 miles on Its arc In order to
cover the horizontal distance of 75
miles.
Clever Expedient to Prolong Life.
The life of the giant gun, which wns
318,000 pounds in weight and 122 feet
long, under the heavy pressure of its
high velocity projectile was very lim
ited. But when the Germans found
the spun of the gun amounted to only
GO pounds they lilt upon n clever ex
pedient. They bored out tho 21-centl-meter
tube, which was very thick, to
24 centimeters, and Inter to 20 centime
ters, giving It Just so much more life
at each caliber, with only u change to
larger ummunltlon required. "The shell
hurled by the cannon weighed 204
pounds and wus 10 Inches In length.

the Lord,
YOUNO PKOPLK AND ADULT TOPIC
Kindts mid KM'ellcnclcs of Saul, D-.ivla
mul Solomon.
It was the lesson committee'
thought that the three kings of the
united kingdom should be compared,
but that would necessitate going back
about hulf way Into the preceding
quarter, and since the time for review
is so short, It would hnrdly he wise
for any but the adult classes to go
back of the present quarter's lessons,.
If In the adult classes tills should be.
done, the review should be rapid nnd
condued to:
1. The character of the king.
2. The chief events of his reign.
3. His success or failure, as the case
may he. and the reason therefor.
4. Lessons taught us.
The better method for most teach
ers and classes will be to let the les
sons center In the two outstanding
personalities of David nnd Solomon,
both as a mental discipline nnd us a
spiritual message. A good way Is to
get tin; pupil to grasp the main facts
of each lesson nnd then stutc Its lead
ing lesson.
Lesson for July 4. David's zeal for
God and faith In God made him cour
ageous to meet Goliath. Ills good
sense caused him to discord Saul's
onnor nnd use his own gifts. He went
forth In the name of the Lord of hosts
that all the world might know that
there was a God in Israel.
Lesson for July 11. The friendship
between Jonathan and David was
hosed on genuine love. Because of this
love Jonathan waived his personnl
rights to David, as a token of which
he gnve David his court robe and
equipment. Truly "Love seekcth not
her own."
Lesson for July 18. David's regard
for Saul was dtw to the fact that
God's anointing oil hod been plnced
upon him. The one upon whom God
bos placed his Spirit should be rever
enced, not because of what he Is him
self, but because of God's gift upon
him.
Lesson for July 25. Dnvld's behav
ior through the period of civil war be
tween the houses of Saul nnd David
won the confidence of nil the tribes,
so that they came Io Hebron nnd made
him their king.
Lesson for August 1. The great les
son needed to be learned by all men Is
God's holiness. His name and Insti
tutions should be reverenced. Ignor
ance or thoughtlessness will not save
n man' from the penulty of violating
God's laws.
Lesson for August 8. Justice and
Judgment were executed unto all the
people when David was established
king. This is typical of the time when
Christ, David's Son. shall reign in
righteousness over all the earth.
Lesson for August 15. David's sor
rows were occasioned by his sins.
"Whatsoever a man snweth that shall
he also reap."
Lesson for August 22. Despite the
awfuluess of our sins, true penitence
mid confession will bring pardon.
Lesson for August 29. Because Sol
omon put wisdom to do God's will
first, God gave him honor and riches
In ahuiiilance. '"Him that honoreth
me, I wjll honor."
Lesson for September 5. A house
Is made sacred only as God's presence
sanctifies It. It was not Solomon'.
words or his prayer that dedicated the
temple; It was the manifestation of
a divine presence.
Lesson for September 12. God's
gffts to Solomon Hindu hlin to be
great before the world. His fumo gave
hlin an unique opportunity to witness
of God to the nntlons of the world.
Lessor, rbr September 19. Those
wno heed the advice of a father will
escape all the sorrows and miseries of
a drunkard.
The Hardest Labor.
Ceasing from labor, as labor, Is not
tho point of Sunday observances; It
Is ceasing from the labor of the world,
to labor for God, to do bis work,
which is the highest labor and tho
hardest lnbor; giving God n tithe of
the work, the .first fruits of our time,
ns it mark of respect and allegiance
which we owe to him. W. O. K. New
bolt.. True Gentleness,
True gentleness Is founded on a sense
of wlint we owe to him who mnde us,
and to the common nature which we
all slime, It urines from rollcctlons
on our own fallings nnd wonts, and
from Just views of the condition nnd
duty of men. It Is natlvo feeling
heightened nnd Improved by principle.
