Here are four quotations from the Old Testament and sixteen from the New Testament, all relating to the Holy Spirit as our helper. We must establish the personality of the Holy Spirit; it is not enough to say it is an influence, an energy; it Is that, but vastly more. It is a person, which has Character, Will, Wisdom and Power. These qualities are what distinguishes the Holy Spirit from any other person. In the first quotation, these qualities are mani fest; in the brooding over the 'chaos,' he forms it into a solid substance. There is wisdom shown and a will to do, and power to execute; and the result the earth to become the home of man. The gradual process may have taken millions of years God takes often much time to ac complish his purpose. In the brood ing over the waters the Holy Spirit imparts to it life, movement, light, energy, power, just as the Holy Spirit brings light into man's darkness; life, movement towards God; with out him man would never find his way home to God. Then in Psalm 51:11, the Holy Spirit is asked to abide with David. Without the Holy Spirit man is like a ship on the high sea without a rudder, chart or com pass, just 'drifting.' A perilous con dition! Rebelious man will not al ways follow the Holy Spirit's lead ing; it is then that God lets man have his own way. See the present chaotic condition, that is man's work. Stop and think. Does man need a helper?. Yes, let man pray like David and God will show his face in bene diction. hat a marvelous promise God holds out to the world in Joel 2:2S-29. This was partly fulfilled at Pente cost. What a marvelous transforma tion was wrought by the Holy Spirit! That is what God will do in his good time with all men. This promise was fulfilled like all others, because God has said it. Time will not allow us to go through all the quotations. But all along we see that the Holy Spirit is an essential factor in our lives and that without him there is no life, no friends here who regret to see them leave, but will wish them well in their new home. Enlarging Elevator Capacity George A. Stites, Union grain dealer, who about a year ago en larged the capacity of his elevator to approximately 80,000 bushels is further enlarging the property, in creasing the capacity to 100,000.

It is the Holy Spirit that transmits to us the merits of Christ Vsaeriflclal life. He shows us by his light our sinful condition teaches tis how to pray, leads us to the fountain of blood, to the cross. All this is a mystery. Nicodemus could not understand it but by faith in the crucified we receive our 'sight and peace and pardon from our sins . . . becoming new creatures who walk in the new way, full of joy and life; now Christ lives in us it is not man but God directs his going. "Holy Spirit faithful guide, ever near the Christian's side." This leads man who has surrendered all to the Holy Spirit, to a fruitful life. See Gal. 5:22-25. They are not bar ren, need not be constantly urged to a higher and better life, the love of God constrained them, they follow the spirits leading, ever onward and upward, nearer the Christian's mercy seat, nearer my God to thee, to high er ground. Here the Holy spirit is our helper. In the sore trials of life our comforter; without his help the martyrs would not have "over- come. no is auie to Dear uis cross and walk the straight and nar row way, without the aid Of the Holy Spirit? Who can go through the maze of all the conflicting theor ies on religion and not lose his way, without the guiding power and the strength that the Holy Spirit im parts? Jesus said: "I go away, but I will send the Holy Spirit, who will abide with you, lead you into all truth, teach you what to say, etc." In the conflicts of life, he is an ever true frend on whom we can rely. "Ever present truest friend, Ever near thine aid to lend; Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint and hopes give o'er, Whisper softly: 'Wanderer, Come, Follow me, I'll guide thee home." "When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Wondering if our names were there Wading deep the dismal flood. Pleading nought but Jesus blood. Whispering softly: 'Wanderer, Come; Follow me, I'll guide thee home." Union is greater than in many towns of this size and even larger and MV. Stites will now be fully prepared to handle the heavy volume of corn that may be expected this fall.

D. L. Gross, extension agronomist at the Nebraska College of Agriculture, says that where the sci! is moist to a depth of four feet or more, nearly 100 per cent kill can be expected. The only material available in quantity this year is Altacice, which is as effective as straight sodium chlorate if used at the rate of 4 to 5 pounds per square rod. The usual recommendation for sodium chlorate is 3 to 4 pounds per square rod. Even distribution of the chemical is necessary. The dry treatment, rather than the spray, is recom mended for fall treatment. Atlacide can be obtained from numerous dealers in the county. Enamelware Kitchen Utensils Production of-aluminum ware is restricted now. so housewives who are buying kitchen utensils center their attention on other metals. The home equipment research laboratory at the University of Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture says that metal kitchenware should meet five tests, according to Jessie Baldwin, home demonstration agent for Cass county. These tests are durability, sani- tation, ease of handling, performance, jand price. In the laboratory, new enamelware has readily withstood the temperatures required for car-; melizing sugar and for deepfat fry ing. The lighter-weight ware (1 pounds for a 2 quart pan has re tained its form. Lids have not chip ped when holes have been bored through them, which indicates dur ability. Light-weight enamel utensils also get a high rating in case of handling. Enamelware absorbs hea well, but does not distribute it as well as aluminum. Some foods must be stirred constantly in enamelware to prevent scorching. Abrasive cleaners will destroy the luster, but with careful use enamelware can be eco nomical and efficient. The sanitation requirement is met when construc tion is such that there are no cracks or grooves for accumulation of dirt. Good quality enamel kitchen uten sils made by reliabe manufacturers can be a good purchase at this time. Protein Supplements With the corn-hog ratio as favor able as it is (about 18-1), Nebraska farmers are interested in making their gains as economically as pos sible. Protein supplements are in creasing in price. The average cost of tankage in Cass county is about $80 per ton. The big question in the mind of many a farmer is "Can I afford to feed tankage?" or "Can I afford to feed anything besides corn " This winter 1 pound of tankage will OFFICER T TTTT Take your pick!

If corn vcosts 64 cents per bushel and tankage ?S0 per ton, it is still eco nomical to feed the tankage or some other suitable supplement. The cost can be cut still more by using a mixture composed of tank age 0 per cent, alfalfa meal 25 per cent, and 25 per cent cottonseed meal or soybean oil meal. Alfalfa is one of the most economical sources of protein at the present time and can be used to good advantage for other classes of livestock. 4-H Public Speaking Contest A new 4-H contest which should interest a large number of boys and girls and increase the discussion of national defense in its relation to 4-H work is being sponsored by L. L. Coryell & Son of Lincoln. Times for district and county con tests may be varied. The division of state into districts has not been set up. It was thought that the district contest might be held in connection with a district extension conference. After discussion of this contest at the district conferences only one change was made, that is making all times not more than eight min utes in length. "Each club in Nebraska will be eligible to send representatives to compete for the honor of representing its county in a district Timely Topic Speaking Contest. The date and place of the county contest will be ar ranged by the extension agents and 4-H club awards committee of each county, to be not later than January 1, 1942. The club member will be allowed to speak on any subject re lated to one or more of the three sub jects: Agriculture, Home Economics and or National Defense. "Each county will be eligible to send one representative to one of the six district contests. One club member will be selected to represent the district in the state contest to be held in connection with 4-H Club Week in 1942. In each district a silver medal will be awarded the dis trict winner. In addition, blue rib bons will be awarded contestants with excellent productions and red ribbons to those with good produc tions. "The state contest, to be held in June 1942 at Club Week will be made up from the high ranking members of the six districts. The six district representatives will be awarded a registration and expenses to Club Week. The winner of the state con test will be awarded a gold medal and a trip to National Club Congress in December, 1942. Second place will be awarded a silver medal and third place a bronze medal. "A county champion in each coun ty will be given a fountain pen or some similar award, provided there are six or more in county competi tion. The time limit for a speaker in all contests will be eight minutes." If interested in entering the 4-H pub lic speaking contest please leave word at the farm bureau office by November 1st.

Favorable hog prices and increased production caused numerous requests that "Rooters Day" be held this year. Prof. Wm. J. Loeffel, chairman of the animal husbandry department, said recently, "We have felt that in view of the emphasis which is being placed on pork production in the defense program, that it is well to return to the fundamentals and to stress them." So, the fundamentals of hog-raising will come in for con siderable discussion, the program shows. Professor Leoffel will preside at both sessions, which will be held in the Student Activities building on the Agricultural College campus. The morning program starts at 9:15 and the afternoon program at 1:10. It's hoped that the group can adjourn by 3:30 in the afternoon, thus giving plenty of time for those from a dis tance to make the homeward drive.
