BOSTON’S LITERARY PAUL REVERE
" ‘Strange Interlude,’ barred by the Boston Mayor.”
—News Item.
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Ol the midnight ride of Paul Revere—
Of a modern Revere who was ultra pure
(And so was his excellent horse. I’m sure).
Be said to his friend. ‘‘If Eugene O'Neil
By land or sea should arrive tonight
Have a lantern aloft, for I seem to feel
That to let him enter would not be right—
One, if a book, and two, If a play,
And I on the opposite shore will stay
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm
To see that the public is kept from harm.’’
Then he said. “Good night, and watch out, too
For Carl Van Vetchen and all that crew—
For Sinclair Lewis and H. G. Wells
And anything Jim Tully sells,
For Vino Delmar (and keep an eye. sir,
For any approach by Theodore Dreiser!)"
• • • •
Meanwhile his friend, through alley and street
Wanders and watches, all eyes and ears.
Till In the silence around he hears
The Theater Guild’s at the city door,
The bang of trunks and the tramp of feet
And the news confirming his greatest fear
"Strange Interlude coming . . . and maybe more!”

Dakota Strip Coal
Portends New Era
MINOT, N. D., Sept. 28.—(^—Ex
perts estimate that 516.000.000 tons
of coal, enough to last the United
States 10 centuries, lie under North
Dakota’s rolling wheat fields and
ranch land.
Already steam shovels are scoop
ing it from the surface whore a few
years ago sod-house pioneers toiled
with pick and shovel.
Electric generating plants, built
at the mines, are converting the
fuel Into power for transmission
over high voltage lines to industrial
plants in North Dakota and neigh
boring states.
The start was made by Elmer
Truax at Columbus. In the north
west part of the state. He found
the strip mining so profitable that
he opened another mine at Velva.
Eastern investors were attracted
and amalgamated his holdings.
power companies are rapidly buv-^
tag up the choice properties.
Estimated cost of the lignite for
plants at the mines Is 90 cents a
ton. With rapid extension of power
lines business men see an indus
trial era looming for the farm
country. _
Addressograph Plate
Machinery Installed
San Benito. Sept. 28—(Spl)—
Installation of machinery and
equipment to make plates for
Addressograph machines has been
completed at the Campbell Auto
Supply company here. It was an
nounced today.
The announcement was made by
Tom L. Abbot, branch manager of
the Addressograph company, with
offices in San Antonio.
Mr. Abbot said that there are
about 55 of these machines in th>*
Valley now. and when there are 75
a Valley agency will be created.
The Campbell Auto Supply here
will be equipped to turn out plates
for any users In the Valley.
Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois has announced
her candidacy for the republican nomination for the
United States senote tin opposition to the present sen
ior Illinois senator, Charles S. Deneen. Mrs McCormick
is congresswoman-at-large from Illinois.
She is the daughter of Mark Hanna. She is the
widow of a former United States senator. She won
her congressional race by a plurality of 600.000. She is
an orator and an organizer. She inherited a large
fortune from her father. She inherited a large for
tune from Medil McCormick, her brilliant husband.
Senator Deneen Is a wily jiolitician. He has the
backing of the big machine. He has made many ene
mies. Six aspiring politicians covet the senatorial
shoes of Deneen. Now will Congresswoman McCor
mick smash the republican machine and go over the
top in the primary election to come? It will be an
innovation to see a business woman, the daughter if
one of the famous political kings of America, holding
down a seat in the so-called greatest deliberative body
In the world.
They Are On The Way
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge. John and Florence, if you
please, have linked their lives together and are on the
way.
They are the conservative children of conservative
parents, she the daughter of a New England governor
and successful man of affairs and John the son of a
president of the United States who will hold a proud
place In American history regardless of what his
critics of today may think or say of the successor of
Warren G. Harding.
John and Florence are not snobs. They are of New
England Puritan ancestry. They are levelheaded and
common sense youngsters. Their wedding was a con
servative affair) No flunkyism was displayed. No
bizarre feature accompanied the ceremony or their
flight on a honeymoon trip. May good luck attend
them.
More Than Enough
The state of Nevada, where the divorce courts
furnish lots of legal business, might be expected to
reach the saturation point In lawyer talent, and a re
«j\pit survey shows there is one attorney for every 336
^of the population. In near-by California the rate Is
one for every 507 persons. New York City alone re
ports 15.000 young men and women are now studying
law in the colleges and universities thereabouts, while
down In Ecuador and Bolivia the governments have
been compelled to order the law schools closed until
further notice. From which it appears there are too
many lawyers, as well as too many laws. Competition
may be the life of “trade." but it frequently plays heck
with a "profession."
We recall that Lord Cornwallis called Charlotte
“the hornet s nest" more than a century and a half
before the Gastonia troubles moved over into Meck
lenburg county.
Most of the speakers at the Okmulgee reunion of
constitution writers admitted that the constitution
was written by really great men.
Then he climbed to the tower of the Old North
Church
By the wooden stairs with stealthy tread.
To the belfry chamber overhead
And felt, of a sudden, the belfry lurch
For’t was all jammed up with censors wno
Were all determined to signal, too.
• • • •
Meanwhile a-reedlng “Red Riding Hood"
Aloud to his horse, which was sweet and good,
On the opposite shore stood Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse’s side,
Now gased at the landscape far and near;
Then addressing his mount, he said, “Old Bean,
You've your faults. I know, but your mind is clean"
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry tower of the Old North Church,
And lo! as he looks at the belfry's heights
His startled eyes sees a flock tof lights!
It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town;
He gave the villagers a shock
And brought them bounding out with zeal
By crying. “Arise! Eugene O'Neil
Is coming! Get your rifles down*”
* * « •
It was one by the village clock
When he galloped into Lexington.
“'Get up!” he cried with accent rude.
“Or you'll all get strange interlude'
• • • •
It was two by the village clock
When he came to the bridge down Concord way;
“Get up.” he yelled, “or by Plymouth Rock
You'll be getting a book by Hemingway!"
You know the rest. Through the press you've heard
Of the battle for censorship absurd;
How the censors barred each book, each show
That wasn’t as white as the driven snow;
How they stripped the magazines quite thin
And wouldn’t let H. L. Mencken in.

She: Looking at some dresses.
He: Are they coming back in style?—Judge
Connie Mack of the Athletics is now numbered

hustling than waiting, which is highly Important.

when Americans are buying more and more Canadian
goods every day —Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

U THE LOVINGKINDNESS OF JEHOVAH
IS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM, AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO CHILDREN’S
CHILDREN.” Psalm 103:17
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL
The century and a half of history
reviewed in this lesson was by no
means a drab and uninteresting
period, but one of fascinating
changes in the rise and fall of
nations that had to do with God's
people, and one full of tremendous
changes in the nation of Israel it
self.
I The Babylonian exile was clearly
foreshadowed by the prophets Jere
miah and Ezekiel, ministry was
spent in Babylon, where he was
j carried with the second of the three
deportations of the captives, ten
I years after the first contingent nf
i captives carried Daniel and others
of the nation’s highest classes into
exile, and 11 years before the exile
was completed in the destruction of i
Jerusalem. Por 11 years Ezekiel tried
In vain to persuade the exiles In
Babylon that Jerusalem would fall
a prey to the Chaldeans, but his
fellow exiles turned a deaf ear to
his foreshadowing of such a calami
ty. After the news came from the
: refugees "The city is smitten." Eze
kiel continued his ministry for 11
more years, foretelling the res tor a
, tion of the nation to its former
glory, and God’s use of It as a river
of blessing to enrich the whole
world.
Ezekie’l ministry, like that of
Jeremiah, was to teach the people
their personal responsibility before
God for their own sins. The exile
was not only a terrific national dis- j
cipline. but each individual must see
in it the punishment of his own pei- j
sonal sin against Jehavah. and per
sonally turn to God for mercy and
forgiveness. It was a dark period
In which it was difficult to "sing the
songs of Zion in a strange land."
But as the night brings out the
stars, this dark period of Israel’s
history gave rise to some of the
brightest hopes of the nation in the
prophetic visions of Ezekiel and
Daniel, the brightest of which still
await fulfillment in the coming
again in glory of our Lord Jem;
Christ.
When the refining fires of God’s I
furnace had done their intended
work of driving out of God’s people
their ancient perversity towards
idolotry, God lifted the cloud «*f
exile that had enshrouded the nation
for 70 years, and ordained their re
turn to the land of their fathers to
rebuild the city and temple of God.
The return sgas accomplished in
three contingents, just as their de
portation had been in three sections
The first return was led by Zerub
babel in 538 B C.. the second by
Ezra in 458 B. C.. and the third by
Nehemiah in 445 B. C. Zerubbabel's
chief ministry was the rebuilding of
the temple, that of Ezra the teach
ing of God’, law, and that of Nehe
miah the rebuilding of the walls and
reorganizing the social and religious
life of the people, making it so God
centered as to tide them over the ,
turbulent days of persecution that j
filled the Maccabean period and i
much of four centuries between the
ministry of Maiachi, the last of the
Old Testament prophets, and the
fulfillment of his prophesy in the
coming of the Christ, “the Sun of
Righteousness with healing in his
wings."
Of that period of the exile as it
reveals God s presence in the shad
ows we may confidently say with
the poet: “Behind the dim un
known, standeth God within the
shadow's, keeping watch above His
owm."
• The International Uniform Les
son for Sept. 29 is Isaiah 61:1-9, the
subject being, ’Significance of the
Exile and the Restoration.’’ and the
Golden Text, “The mercy of the
Lord is from everlasting to everlast
ing upon them that fear him, and
his righteousness unto children -!
