Keep It holy. Sunday was a fine (lay
and we hope it \yas kept on the right
wu,'.
Of course there Is many sad hearts
in our land l>e< ause of deaths, but
wo must remember that It is appoint
and unto man once to die, and after
death the judgment. So we tliut are
a till living will have to die too. We
can't escape death. Then what is the
best thing for us to do? The Bible
.tells us to prepare to meet thy God,
O Israel. Now If we are prepared to
go in peace then it is all right, for
the good book tells us that precious
in the eyes of the I.old Is the death
of Ids saints. Hut If not prepared,
how sad. Be ye also ready for in such
hour ye think not the Son of man
cometh? Now the Bold willeth that
all shall come to repentance and live
hut If they don’t repent of course it
means eternal death for God tasted
death for every man, therefore He
would that all men come to repent
ance and live. Then yhy will people
go on here In this world knowing
tha. they can’, slay here always, and
won’t even go to church, or Sunday
school, where they miight hear ’lie
Bible taught and explained; but let
some worldly amusement come ai mg
and 'hey will go for miles to he at
such things, even go in the rain and
cold, no! expecting any benefit for
for thhem, but ’hat is one of those
Gods of the earth and it is what they
wan to serve, when Jesus said while
here on earth that thou shall have
no other Gods before me. .Just stop
one moment and think. Who is the
people looking to for relief just now?
Is it the one that has all power in
heaven and earth or is it someone
else? Oh, that we would study God’s
Word and see where we are at just
now, and if we beliieve God’s Word
we can readily see what the trouble
is just now. Who does the honor be
long to?? Does it belong to man or|
God? Who is being spoken of most
today, soma man. or God? This is a
fair ques 1 ion. Don’t the sord of God
tell ns that all 'he honor and the
glory belongs to God? Is He getting
that which belongs to Hib? if not,
what can we expect but punishment.
For the Lord has told us that if we
obey him we shall not want for any
good thing, but if we don’t obey him
i: will be a curse. What is it on us
today? Many people suffering for
bread, and clothes and millions of
bread and clothes and yet people on
starvation. I thank my God that here
is a place prepared of our God where
there is room and bread for the poor.
Here the poor are turned away but
God is taking notice to it all, and
after awhile all these crooked roads
will be made straight. Jesus said the
poor ye have with ye always, but me
ye have not always. And the Lord
again said they that would borrow of
you turn them not away, for he that
givc.h to the poor lendeth to the Lord
How many is lending to he laird these
days? Now there are still sluggards
that won’t work. The Bible points
them to the ant. Go to the hnt thou
sluggards and consider her ways and
be wise. And again here are some like
the poor beggar that was laid at the
rich man's gate. He was poor,’ but
was cared for by the angels at his
death into Abraham's bosom a place
of rest, while the rich man fared well
here, but when he died in hell he lift
ed up his eyes, being in torment. O,
wha; a change will take place when
Jesus comes back to get his bride—
the Church -for the Lord them that
are His. Well, we had a good Sunday
school last Sunday, the subject being
the teinpation of our Christ by the
devil, and the same old tempter is
still after Christ’s children. Yet, can
we sav as did the Christ, Get behind
me Satan, or are we given over to the
tempter and being lead away by him.
AVe are going soon to meet our doom
whether if is good or bad.
AVishing all men, I close.

Elves and Gnomes Come
Into World of Reality
An Englishman onSe wrote a fasci
nating story called "The Adventures
of u Brownie,"' considered solely to lie
u hook for children. But Geoffrey
Hudson, who spoke before the Michi
gan Theosophical federation in l>e
troit, would doubtless accept ll us fact
rather than fancy.
For he says he believes that there
are tiny little nature spirits which
obey tlie will of "a major, directing
intelligence In nature" and in so doing
perform "important functions In the
economics of tlie solar system.” Feas
ants in northern England and in Ire
land, themselves of Celtic blood and
therefore assumed to be more psychic
than Nordics, are intimately acquaint
ed with these spirits of garden, Held
anil woodland, according to Mr. Hod
son. Moreover, two little English
girls actually took photographs of
“nature spirits.” which looked exactly
as fairy tale Illustrations have made
them appear.
The average Individual would have
to be convinced of Hie part elves and
gnomes play in ilie work a day world
before lie would pay very serious at
tentiori to all this. The practical man
would like to kmnv whether elves and
gnomes van lie trained or cajoled into
siicli helpfulness as weed pulling or

Scientists Unable to
Explain Cause of Fire
Tlie most logical explanation as
to wlmt causes the heat which is gen
erated in a Imy stack and sometimes
ends In spontaneous combustion, as
known today, though by no means tlie
most universally accepted, and the
one scientific observations of actual
cases seems to support is as follows:
When hay Is stacked in a moist con
dition, plant tissue enzymes are aide
to continue their activities and micro
organisms ure enabled to grow. Both
of tiie.se reactions may, and probably
do, produce heat. Tlie plant tissue
cells and some of the micro-organisms
may be assumed t be killed at 113
degrees 1”5 degrees Fahrenheit. Here
highly heat resistant micro-organisms,
known as thermophiles, may begin to
grow and also to liberate heat. Just
how high they might curry the temper
ature is not known, but probably not as
high as 212 degrees Fahrenheit. How
ever. temperatures as high as (ISO de
grees Fahrenheit have been recorded
in hay stacks before tire broke out.
What tlie reaction Is that produces
this temperature is not known, though
it is undoubtedly some oxidative re
action.
Haggis Long Popular
Although always described as an an
cient Scottish dish, the haggis was
known both in Kngland and France
before it was a familiar dish In Scot
land, says an article In the Montreal
Family Herald. It was a popular
dish in early days In Kngland, and
it has been suggested that It was
taken North by the families settled
In tlie lowlands by Kdward I. There
is more authority ,'or believing, how
ever, tlint the dish found its way to
Scotland from France in tlie days
when those two countries were united
ngainst England. The name, too, is
linked up with the oid French
“agusse." which, like the haggis, con
sisted essentially of a sheep's stom
ach tilled with tlie minced heart, liv
er and lungs of a sheep.
Looted by Locksmith
By the simple method of standing
near tlie entrance to tlie loeal theater
and noting those who entered, a lock
smith of Cheste (Valencia), well
known and respected in the town, was
able to carry out for several years a
series of robberies without detection,
liis successful career has ended be
cause It occurred to a spectator to re
turn home djirlng the Interval, only to
find “his friend and locksmith”
burgling his safe. The locksmith's
dexterity and the fact that he never
took more than a part of the money
or jewels he found, usually gave rise
to the suspicion that a servant or
some member of tlie family was re
sponsible.
Strength
What is incomprehensible is not nec
essarily wise. Ambiguity is no mark
of ability. Simplicity is a sign of
strength. The teacher or preacher
who takes unction to his sou! because
his words are nliove bis hearers’
heads, and who Hatters himself that
he needs a superior audience to be np
predated, is only betraying his own
weakness. It was of John Eliot, the
apostle to the Indians, that It was
first said that his sermons were of
such a character that lambs could
wade in them and elephants swim In
them. We are not speaking the truth
well unless we make It so clear that
the common people hear it gladly.
Usual Fate of Thinker
The first sun-dial to be erected at
Home was built in the yenr 200 B. C.,
but the Romans were not famous
mathematicians. The Arabians made
astronomy a particular study, undone
of their writers. Ahu’l Hassan. who
lived In the beginning of the J'liir
tecnth century, traced dials on cylln
drlcal, conical and other surfaces. He
conceived the Idea of "equal hours"
regardless of the period of daylight,
hut like the treatment accorded so
many pioneers he was called a dream
er and the "temporary hours" re
ninined in use.
DESCRIBES FARM
ADJUSTMENT PLAN
Agricultural College President
£?.ys Federal Program Seeks
to Coordinate Production
v/ith Reduced Exports
The Federal farm adjustment pro
gram Is partly guided by the belief
that export? of agricultural commodi
ties will mil soon recover its volume
of live or ten years ago, in the opinion
of F. D. Farrell. President Kansas
Agricultural College, writing in the Au
gust issue of tlie American Bankers
Association Journal.
"Nobody knows whether the farm
adjustment program will succeed,”
writes Mr. Farrell "Its sponsors de
scribe it frankly as an experiment, it
seeks to socialize agriculture at least
to the extent that farmers, in what is
believed to be the public interest, will
restrain their production activities and
that processors, distributors and con
suiners will contribute something to
ward paying farmers for exercising
this restraint. The adjustment pro
grams definitely are based on the fact
that prices are determined primarily
by supply and demand. They also are
based on the assumption that the ex
port business in agricultural commodi
ties will not soon return to its volume
of five or ten years ago.
Dependence on Public Support
“The plan offers wheat prices in
suranee for 1933, 1934 and 1935, for
the domestically consumed portion of
the wheat crop. The insured price is to
he sufficiently high to give the do
mestically consumed portion of the
wheat crop pre-war purchasing power.
If the plan is as effective as its spon
sors hope it will he, the reduction In
supply may influence wheat prices so
that the entire wheat crop will have
pre-war purchasing power.
"If the adjustment program suc
ceeds, its launching probably will mark
the end of an era of extreme individual
ism in agriculture in the United
States.” says Mr. Farrell.
“Recent fundamental changes led
Secretary Wallace to say, ’What we
really have to do is to change the
whole psychology of tbe people of the
United States.’ This is a large order.
It involves tlie whole program of farm
adjustment as well as the larger na
tional economic program, of which
farm adjustment is a part. If the
people decline to participate in the
program to the extent necessary to
give the experiment a fair trial, we
shall never kno.v whether farm ad
justment as now proposed would have
succeeded or not if it had been given
a fair trial.”
BANKERS PREPARE
FARM FINANCE BOOK
Tells, Bankers and Farmers
What to Consider in Making
Sound Loans
A book on ’’Making Farm Invest
ments Site" has been prepared bv
the Agricultural Commission of tne
American Bankers Association, sum
marizing material published by it dur
ing the past ten years. It presents a
compendium of scientific facts, prac
tice and experience in farming, with
timely and helpful suggestions to serve
as a reference and guide in the daily
routine of banking and farming. From
It practical workers in these fields can
obtain an idea as to what extent and
in what manner farm loans should be
limited by soil erosion, weeds, plant
diseases, rodents and fire hazards, etc.
The book also indicates how much
is added to the security of a farm loan
by the farmer who keeps accounts and
practices good business methods, as
well as the extent to which loans are
safeguarded by crop rotation, produc
tion of legumes. Judicious use of com
mercial fertilizers, the use of quality
seed and the providing of home grown
feeds.
Another section sets forth the pre
cautions that should he exercised by
both the banker and farmer when
negotiating loans to increase or im
prove dairy production, or beef, sheep,
swine or poultry production, as well
as what factors should be considered
in the economic marketing of products
and the way efficiency in production
affects efficiency in marketing. Many
other everyday details of farm life
that have a practical financial signifi
cance are treated in the book. A par
ticular important section deals with
experience with farm leases and an
other with directed farm credit.
Banks Make Best Record in
R. F.C. Loans Repayments.
Among the loans of $2,819,000,000
made by the Federal Government
through the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, the highest percentage of
repayments, official reports show, has
been made by the banks, Indicating
the return of stability as the chie' un
settling element of public fear has
been lifted from them.
The Reconstruction Finance Corpo
ration has authorized cash advances,
fully secured by sound collateral, to
6,278 banks since it began operations
In February. 1932 and made actual
disbursements to them In the amount
of $1,221,878,000. Of this amount, how
ever, $545,073,000. or over 44 per cent,
has been repaid by the banks /It other
classes of borrowers combined have
repaid about 16 per cent of their loans.
