now hung with approbation on the
words of Dr. Straton and again rose
to its feet to shout approval of Mr.

Then he began by saying he thought
a Sunday church service was not the
correct place for threshing out their
differences, but added that he could
not allow the minister's statements to
go unchallenged.
'I do not come to this church of
God t defend the black sheep," he
said. '"I come to defend the decent
men and women of the profession."
Applause greeted this start.
"Thou shalt not slander thy neigh

unfair in singling out the theatrical

Removing Worry
A great many persons who have fixed yearly
payments to make on homes, insurance, etc., are
following the very successful plan of dividing the
total of such payments by 12 and then making a
regular monthly deposit of the divided amount
in a Savings Account. In this manner each
monthly deposit is much smaller arid more easily
made and when the year is up and payment due,
the full amount is ready and waiting PLUS the
accumulated interest which makes a tidy little
beginning for the following year. This plan
often removes great embarrassment suffered by
the person who has let such payment go until
the eleventh hour and is not prepared to meet it.

four months ago," he said. 'Hogs
command a good msrket and reports
indicate that farmers are getting the

market for sheep is stabilized. They
