HOG LIVES 18 WEEKS IN WELL
Newville, Ala.—A sow, which- had
disappeared from the farm of J.
D. Hatton, a tenant farmer, last
December 1 and long given up for
lost, was found by Hatton after
eighteen weeks in an abandoned
well. Seeing a snake near the well,
while planting peanuts bn his
farm, Hatton went to investigate,
poked into the well and found the
sow. Its weight had been reduced
from about 300 pounds to about 94
pounds, but it was alive and ex-
pected to survive its gruelling or-
deal.

Power of Darkness
ONE THING that
troubled our Lord
sympathy. Peter, James and John
were comfortably asleep, evidently
without the slightest notion of what
he was suffering. But there was
worse than lack of sympathy, some-
where in the dark city one of
Jesus’ supposed friends, the man
called Judas, was even then slink-
ing through the alleys with murder
in his heart.
Jesus well knew what was in
store for him. He knew the San-
hedrin would call him a blas-
phemer, he knew what the
Romans would do with him,
once they got their hands on
him. Worse than this must
have been the tragic sense of
failure.
“I would, but ye would not,” he
had said in tears to this very city:
a city full of enemies who should
have been his friends, of unbelievers
who should have believed, a city
he loved, but which had nothing
for him but thorns and a cross.
All this was on Jesus’ heart that
night—and as many Christians be-
lieve, far more. One of the most
profound Christian thinkers has
suggested that the heaviest, most
painful shadow on Jesus’ white
soul was the sense of guilt, not his
own but for the sins of the world.
What Prayer Can Do
JESUS “LEARNED obedience by
the things which he suffered.”
(Heb. 5:8.) We can share his les-
son. The hour of pain is not the
hour to begin praying; those who
have not learned prayer before,
will scarcely know how to pray in
a time of agony. Yet the time of
pain is not the time to give up pray-
ing. When the dark hour comes,
Jesus did not throw aside his faith,
he prayed more intensely than ever
before. Prayer does not explain
pain, much less explain it away.
Prayer does not always get
rid of pain, even though in
many cases the prayer of
faith works cures where doc-
tors fail. What true prayer
does always is to set the one
who prays in tune with the will
of God even when that will is
not as our own.
Prayer does not bring us all the
answers to the rjddles of existence.
It does bring power to bear what
God sends us. For God’s answer
to those he loves is not always es-
cape, but it is always endurance.
each meal you should have
good food.
We have good food for you.
We still believe it pays to serve
the best.
Visit us for the best in fine
food, courteous attention,
and full appreciation.
Blood and the Angel
SO JESUS PRAYED. Even in the
cool spring night his forehead
was covered with sweat, falling to
the rocky ground like drippling
blood. Never rose prayer from a
more tortured heart. And what
came of it? In one sense, the prayer
was not answered. The cup did not
pass from him, he must drink it
to the last bitter dregs. The prayer
did not remove the pain,
deeper sense, the prayer
fully answered. “Not
as Thou wilt,” he
prayer that sets one’s own
in line with the will of God,

SOUTHWEST FARM MARKETS
PRODUCTION AND MARKETMG ADMNSTRATKM < A
(USDA)—Many weak spots con-
tinued to appear at southwest farm
markets during the past week, al-
though some grains, feeds and live-
stock showed strength, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture’s Pro-
duction and Marketing Administra-
tion reports.
Cotton declined 50 cents to $1.50
a bale. Spot middling 15/16 inch
closed Monday at 32.25 cents a
pound at Dallas and 32.65 at most
other markets.
Tomatoes moved in large volume
from the Lower Rio Grande Valley
during the past week, and prices
fell rapidly. Lug boxes of U. S.
No. 1 green wrapped sold over the
week end at mostly $3.25, or $2
lower than a week earlier. Green
corn brought firm prices with sup-
plies declining. Strawberries sold 1
lower in northwest Arkansas. Poor
demand weakened markets for
green and wax beans in southern
Louisiana.
Egg markets showed little
change for the week. Most Dallas
and Fort ’’Worth dealers paid
around 39 cents a dozen for cur-
rent receipts, Denver 37 1-2 to
39 1-2 and New Orleans 42. Poultry
sold a little lower at- most mar-
kets. Fryers brought' 29 to 30 cents
a pound at Fort Worth, 31 at Dal-
las and 25 to 28 at Denver.
Most cattle classes registered
slight gains for the week at Denver
and Oklahoma City. Calves sold
slightly higher at . Houston, but
most cattle and calves brought un-
changed to 50 cents lower prices
at Fort Worthy San Antonio show-
ed little change. Last week’s re-
ceipts differed little from the
week before. Dressed beef prices
about equaled those of a week ago
Monday, but veal gained $2 to $8.
Good cows sold up to $19 at Texas
and Oklahoma markets and $20.25
at Denver.
Hog receipts fell off again this
week, and prices advanced 50
cents to $1. Dressed pork brought
$3 to $9 a hundred more than a
week ago. Top butcher hogs closed
Monday at $18.75 at Fort Worth,
$19 at San Antonio, $19.75 at Ok-
lahoma City, and $2il at Denver.
Texas markets paid $14 to $15.50
for sows, and Denver ’to $17.50.

“Now that school is over, stu-
dents who intend to work should
check on their
cards,” stated Paul
. ger of the Paris
J field office.
; ‘‘About this time
j students are preparing to take
summer jobs,” Mr. Files continued,
I “and whether they work part-time
or full-time they will need a so-
cial security card. The card rep-
resents an insurance policy with
their Government, and the best
way to protect that policy is to
show the card to each new em-
ployer. This will enable him to
report the worker with his com-
plete name and social security
I number, thereby enabling the So-
I cial Security Administration to
• give the employee full credit on his
social security account for the
work done.

tained a card but has lost

THE SHADOW over Gethsemane
is deep. We can scarcely see
' the tortured figure under the moon-
i lit olive trees. If Jesus’ closest
friends, in that
I hour, were strang-
' ers to his soul, we -
cannot dare to pen- ||
I etrate all the sec-
rets of that fateful
hour. Yet while we m
. cannot know all,
w e can know
enough; enough to
; support us in our
own time of dark- Foreman
! ness and of pain.
Mark uses very strong language
to describe the state of Jesus’ mind
in Gethsemane. The two Greek
.words he uses, translated in the
King James version “sore amazed”
and “very heavy," are translated
■ by the Revised Stanard Version
"greatly distressed and troubled;”
by Goodspeed, “distress and
dread;" by Moffatt, “appalled and
agitated.” As our hymn says,
“We know not how, we can-
not tell
What pains He had to bear."
Still, we do know of some of the
burdens which weighed so terribly
on Jesus’ mind and
night
