* WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. —(4V-
President Roosevelt glowing with
good health after hi* sojourn in
the South worked Fnday on a
unified recovery effort for which
* Informed sources say. he may ask
* congress to appropriate at least
n.ooo.eoo.ooo.
* There are two distinctive fea-
* tures to this program as outlined
hi persons closely in touch with
developments.
* 1. It would aim to provide work
1 for millions now drawing direct
relief funds.
2. The government w. ;ld seek to
* coordinate it* spending into one
broad program in which the money
* spent would serve not only to re-
* lieve present needs but advance
Mr. Roosevelt’s long-term plans for
a more abundant life.
Some advisers foresaw a central
fund with a minimum of 14.000-
000.000 from which money would be
•hared out to carefully chosen
projects. A proposal to put one
central agency In charge of the
* fund has been considered but like
other details. Mr. Roosevelt's at-
titude on this has not been dis-
closed.
Such varied things as relief land
and water conservation public
works roads subsistence home-
’ steads slum clearance and many
other plans have been under dis-
cusslon by high officials but the
place of any ol these In the pro-
« gram may not become known def-
* fnltely before congress opens. An
Inkling may however be obtained
from a radio speech the president
. will make to the nation wkhtn a
week or so.

SON ) IN
DAD’S DEATH
GROE8BECK. Dec T.-hVPv—Grand
jury investigation of the slaying of
John Adams local dairyman for
which Dwain Adama. his 26-year-
old son stands charged will start
Monday county authorities said Fri-
day.
Young Adams arrested Thursday
for his father’s slaying shortly
after his mother 50 had commit-
ted suicide at the home of a friend
at Teague was released under $2500
bond after a habeas corpus hearing
Thursday night before District
Judge Fountain Kirby.
Two special Texas Rangers. O. O
Taylor and Ed Welch of Houston
who said they had been retained
by relatives of the dead dairyman
were ordered to remove their guns
by Judge Kirby when the hearing
started. The state presented only the
warrant for Dwain Adams’ arreat.
Previously young Adams had been
taken to Corsicana wrhere officers
questioned him at length concern-
ing his father’s death. Assistant
County Attorney Roy Lewis said
Adams made no statement.
Four pages of notes which officers
said might lead to a solution of the
mysterious death of the elder Adams
were found beside the body of Mrs
Adams when she was discovered
dead at the home of Mrs. J. B
Washburn at Teague.
Shortly before the elder Adams
was found dead in a dirt reservoir
near Groesbeck on May 25. shot
through the head gagged by a hand-
kerchief and with a belt around his
neck young Adams told officers he
received a note which said:
■'Dwrain we've got the wrong man.
Your old man is in a house In Gro-
esbeck and he will return in a few
days."
Exhaustive Investigation of the
slaying led to Dwain Adams' arrest
Thursday after his mother had
committed suicide.

School Lesson for December 9.

By WM. E. GILROY. D. D.
Editor of Advance
Witnessing and teaching have
been cloaely related In the found-
ing of Christianity and In Its pro-
gress. The true witness is a teach-
er and the true teacher is a wit-
ness.
Here in two passages—one from
the Gospels and one from the Book
of the Acts—we have insistence on
the power of teaching. Perhaps It
should be said that we have insist-
ence on the power of learning.
Jesus in the passage from Mat-
thew's Gospel is speaking of the
difference that there is among hear-
ers. Even a great teacher cannot
do much for those unwilling to
learn.
The man in contact with a great
teacher who is eager to know and
to put in practice the things that
the master has to teach is like a
wise man who builds his house up-
on a rock—that is. upon a sure
foundation.
Whereas a man who hears the
teacher but who pays little heed
and who has no purpose to put the
teachings into practice Is like a
foolish man who builds his house
upon the sands where the winds
and floods make havoc of it.
Is not this the plain expression of
what we see again and again man-
ifested in life.
One boy goes to college possibly
to the finest university In the
country. He has every opportunity |
of learning and improving his mind
and fitting himself for life but he
either makes a failure of the thing
or he "gets by” deriving little real
benefit even if he does succeed in
passing his examinations.

portunity with eagerness Educa-
tion tor him is not a matter mere-
ly of fulfilling certain requirements
out he comes to have his mind fill-
ed and his soul stirred so that he
may go out into life well equipped
not having learned everything but
having found the way of learning
and the way of highest improvement
and service.
Undoubtedly we have these two
sorts even in the school of Christ.
There are those whose professed al-
legiance to Him is formal and life-
less. His teaching* have never en-
riched and glorified their lives
There are others to whom He is
the supreme teacher: to sit at His
feet and to learn o! Him of to fol-
low in His footsteps in ways of ser-
vice is the highest quest of life.
fit
Fortunately we may speak of
these things not aa matters of
theory but as matters of practice.
There are men who so learned of
Chnst that their lives became an
inspiration to others.
It happens here in our lesson that
there is reference to one of these
who was named Apollo*. We do not
know a great deal about him. We
do know that he was a man of elo-
quence with whom Paul was some-
times unfavorably compared be-
cause Paul was apparently not so
eloquent and attractive in his per-
sonality.
The power of this an Apollos was
that he was well equipped and pre-
pared He was mighty in the Scrip- t
tures”
How can a man teach unless he
has teamed well? Possibly we are
inclined today to see Paul and
Apollos as rivals. In reality In the
early church they were men labor-
ing for the common goal of bring-
ing men and women to the way of
Christ and the power of each was
the power of what he had learned
and what he was enabled to teach
others by precept and by example.
The teacher will find It helpful
in connection with this lesson to
look up all the New Testamentt
passages in which Apollos is men-
tioned.
Spain has such long chess
matches that sometimes the play-
ers leave the continuance of the
games to their sons In their wills.
