Isaac's Marriage
To Second Cousin
Is Announced
Rebekah, Daughter
Of Kinsman Is
Claimed As Bride
(Following is another of a series
of Bible stories written by the edi-
tor as they would probably be handl-
ed today by a newspaper reporter).
Hebron, Judah, 1857 B. C.—
Isaac, forty-year-old son of Abra-
ham, yesterday took Rebekah, of
Haran, daughter of Bethul, a nephew
of Abraham, for his bride. She is now
at home in the same tent that was
Isaac's mother's.
Following the marriage, Abraham
made known that he had, several
weeks ago, sent Eliezer, his steward,
into Mesopotamia to seek some mai-
den -who was a relative of Isaac to be
his wife. He has feared this son of
his old age might marry a Canaanite
and it was his wish that his wife
should be some distant relative.
Abraham revealed that he sent by
Eliezer many valuable presents con-
sisting of gold rings, gold and silver
bracelets and expensive clothing. The
steward's journey was made by a
caravan of ten camels with a number
of servants.
Eliezer reported that he h«<l di-

Women's "BuiSd-Up"
Women's headaches, nervousness,
cramp-like pain may be symptoms
of functional dysmenorrhea due to
malnutrition, so often relieved by
CARDUI. Principal way it helps
is by increasing appetite, stimulat-
ing flow of gastric juices and so
improving digestion and helping to
build physical resistance. Another
way you may find CARDUI helpful
in reducing periodic distress: Take
it a few days before and during
"the time." Used for 50 years.
vine guidance in the location of the
bride. Arriving in Haran, it occurred
to him that possibly one of the mai-
dens coming to the public well for
water might be the one to be chosen.
While waiting for his turn at the
well he prayed for some sign as to
which of the maidens was chosen. He
asked that the girl who should give
him water from her pitcher should
say, "Drink, and I will give thy cam-
els drink also."
He had hardly finished the prayer
when a beautiful girl, Rebekah, came
to the well and filled her pitcher. As
she started away Eleizer asked her
for a drink. She graciously handed
him her pitcher and said, "Drink my
lord and I will draw water for thy
camels also".
Watching her, the steward was
certain this was the proper girl. He
then presented her a ring and two
bracelets and asked her whose
daughter she was. Learning that she
was the granddaughter of Nahor,
Abraham's brother, he was certain
there could be no mistake. She as
sured him there was room at her
father's house for him when he asked
about lodging there.
Rebekah ran to tell her family
about her experience and showed
them the presents. Leban, her broth-
er went at once to welcome the visi-
tor, to their home where he and his
servants were shown every hospitali-
ty. Eliezer then told them about the
purpose of his journey and how his
prayer at the well had been answer-
ed. Both her father and brother were
convinced. The steward gave more
presents to Rebekah, as well as to
her mother and brother.
Rebekah's family wanted to delay
their departmure for about ten days
but the steward insisted that he must
start back the following morning.
The decision was finally left to Re-
bekah and she decided to come here
at once.
They arrived late yesterday after-
noon, and Rebekah first saw her fu-
ture husband walking in the fields.
Being told who he was in answer to
her question, she alighted from her
camel and drew on her veil. Isaac
greeted her tenderly and took her to
the tent that was his mother's.

TEXAS PRESENTS JOHN GARNER
STATE SOIL CONSERVATION
BOARD OF TEXAS
Notice of hearing upon organiza-
tion of proposed Cherokee Soil Con-
servation District, embracing land ly-
ing in Cherokee county, Texas.
Whereas, on the 24th day of April,
1940 there was duly filed in the of-
fice of the State Soil Conservation
Board, at Temple, Texas a petition
signed by fifty or a majority of land
owners pursuant to the provisions of
the State Soil Conservation Law, as
enacted by the 46th Legislature
known as House Bill No. 20, request-
ing the establishment of Cherokee
Soil Conservation District; and
Whereas, the lands described by
said petition, and other lands which
will be considered for inclusion in
said district, are located in Chero-
kee county, described substantially
as follows:
All the lands lying in the County
of Cherokee.
Now, therefore, notice is hereby
given that a public hearing will be
held pursuant to the said petition,
on the question of the desirability
and necessity, in the interest of the
public health, safety, and welfare, of
the creation of such district; on the
question! of the appropriate boun-
daries to be assigned to such district;
upon the propriety of the petition,
and of all other proceedings taken
under the said Act; and upon all
John Nance Garner, the farm boy who became the Rreatest Vice
President since Thomas Jefferson, will be officially presented to the
nation by his native Texas this month as a candidate for President of
the United States.
Patriotic Texans will assemble at precinct conventions next Satur-
day, May 4, and at county conventions the following Tuesday, where
delegates will be chosen for the state convention. It is expected that
they will adopt resolutions endorsing the Knosevelt-Garner administra-
tion and urging the nomination of their favorite son as the President's
most logical successor.
Unlike the favorite-son candidates of most states. John Garner is a
leading choice for the nomination. His unexampled public record makes
him the most Unique statesman of our time. Not only is he the only
living man who has presided over both Houses of Congress, but he is
the only Southerner who has been elected to a national office by a vote
of all the people of the United States since before the Civil War.
Because of his liberal record, rural background, and unquestioned
Americanism, political observers in Washington believe he is the best
bet to carry the Democratic I'arty forward to victory this fall.

Measured from windshield to rear window, a Ford Sedan is
10014 inches . . . this is longer than in a number of much higher-
priced cars today!
0 Kneeroom for rear-seat passengers in a Ford is considerably greater
than that of any other car in its price class!
Q With its compact V-type engine, the Ford is designed to carry rear-
seat passengers farther ahead of the rear spring than any other car
at this price—toward the center of the car where riding quality is best!
Surprising is the word for a 1940
Ford! Surprising because it gives
so much you wouldn't expect at its low
price. Surprising all-round perform-
ance, as proved when it won the big
3700-mile Argentine Grand Prize Road
Race. Surprising gas economy, as
proved when it gave most miles per
gallon of all standard-equipped cars at
its price in the Gilmore-Yosemite Econ-
omy Run. Surprising in its big-car ride
and room. Surprising in its long, long
list of truly fine-car features. Come in
today and get to know a Ford V-8!
This year talk "Trade" with your Ford Dealer first!
CHECK EQUIPMENT!... See how much more you get in a Ford at no extra cost!
