Why not sell it?
ON every ranch there is machinery,
implements, stock, or other use
less things that should be turned into
cash to be used for other purposes.
In every home there is furniture,
trunks and other articles that might
also be sold. The money could be put to
use, or in the bank to draw interest.
Why not sell such things now?
Or perhaps you have chickens,
eggs, plants, or service of some kind
that you want to find buyers for.

Syncopated Revision of
Bible Has Chatty Version
of Twenty-third Psalm
LONDON, Jan. 14.—Dr. James Mof
fat, Great Britain’s most distinguish
ed Biblical scholar, has published the
second volume of his syncopated re
vision of the Old Testament con
taining a modern, chatty version of
the Twenty-third Psalm, wherein the
Lord no longer is “My Shepherd."
The lord himself is rcchristened
“ he Eternal” in Dr. Moffatt’s new
work.
In the first volume, D\ Moffatt
called Noah’s ark a barge. In the new
work, he continues his modern tone.
“This sort of thing is not done in
Isreal,” one character is made to say.
“Let me have a bite of that red
omelet, I am famishing,” another de
mands.
“Is young Abraham all right?”
asks a third.
The old version of the Twenty
third psalm says:
“The Lord is my Shepherd; 1 shall
not want.
“He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures.
“He leadeth me beside still wTa
ters.
“He restoreth my soul.”
Dr. Moffatt writes it:
“The Eternal shepherds me. I
lack for nothing.
“He makes me lie dowm in mea
dows green.
“He leads me to refreshing
streams and revives life in me.”
The sonorous language of the Bible
says in the book of Ecclesiastes:
“Vanity of vanities, saideth the
preachers; vanity of vanities, all is
vanity. What profit hath man of
all his labor wherein he laboreth
under the sun?”
“Utterly vain, utterly vain,” re
writes Dr. Moffatt. “Everything is
vain!
“Man labors at his toil under the
sun.
“What does he gain?”
The Bible says in the book of
Job:
“And the Lord said unto Satan,
‘w’hence comest thou?’ Then Satan
answered, ‘from going to and fro in
the earth and from walking up and
dowrn in it’.”
Here is Dr. Moffatt’s rendition:
“Where have you been?” said the
Eternal to the adversary. And the
adversary answered, “roaming here
and there, roving about the earth.”
There is not much hope or danger,
according to the viewpoint, of any
British church adopting the new ver
sion of the old testament. Ecclesias
tic and lay critics have condemned
it and about the friendliest of many
views of the book merely says it
must have cost Dr. Moffatt a lot ol
work.
Duelist Test Prowess;
One Is At Death’s Door
DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 14.—Julius
Jordan, 16 years old, is near death
in a hospital, and police are seeking
another boy about the same age, as
the result of a shot gun duel staged
by the boys this afternoon to see
“which one could shoot the best.”
The shooting followed an argument
between the two boys as to which
e was the best marksman with air
rifles,and when the discussion be
came somewhat heated, some com
panions went for shotguns so the
boys could settle the affair.
The shotguns were thrown down
; between the youths, each took one,
| then backed away about fifty or
sixty feet from each other, and both
fired. Jordan fell, wounded, while
the other boy ran.
The left side of Jordan’s face and
head is filled with buckshot and his
left eye is believed to be punctured
by a shot. Part of his face was shot

CAT TRICKS FOE OF
POLICE WHO FIRED DOCK
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14_
Arthur L. King’s plan to spoil Christ
mas day for the Washington police
force was a failure, and now King
is in jail on a charge of arson in
connection with the burning of the
docks of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat company—all because
he had a warm spot, in his heart
for dumb animals and saved a mon
grel cat from a fiery death.
King had it in for the police and
j determined to get even with them by
: making them work Christmas day, he
confessed today. He set fire, to the
docks so they would have a case to
work on.
But when he saw the company cat
was imperiled by the blaze, his heart
softened and he snatched up the ani
mal and took it home with him.
Possession of the cat gave the po
lice the clew that cleared up the mys
tery a few hours after the fire start
j ed.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
» As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
arid Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
