Until very recently the yam
had no market except at home on

shipped great distances and kept
indefinitely. Consequently, in

Cord, the Federal Keserve Bank

yams as collateral on the same
basis that cotton has long been
recognized, Mr. McCord declar
ed that he believed vams can be

I. Eather Made Queen (Chapter* 1,
S).
This drama to6k place In the Per
sian court, where Ahusuerus (Xorxee)
sat uimn Ills throne, surrounded by his
princes nnd servants. Six months of
festivity were drawing to * close, ar
ranged by the king In order to Impress
upon the people of his mighty emigre
the fact of tils greatness. The last
days of this feast were marked with
drunken debauchery. In a drunken
fren/.y the king commanded Vaslitl to
come before the people to display her
benuty. Vaslitl showed her Inde
pendence by refusing to obey. She
was Instantly deposed. In providing *
queen to take her place, the most beau
tiful muldens In the empire were
brought together from whom the king
might make a selection. The Choice
fell upon Esther, a msld of the Jewish
captivity. The king did not know that
she wns a Jewess, but Ood knew, and
He put her there for a purpose.
11. Haman’s Plot Against the Jews
(Chapter 3).
1. The Occasion of (vv. 1-6). Tor
some reason Daman was given chief
place over the princes. Though all
bowed before him. Mordecal, Esther’s
cousin, stoutly refuged to do so.
2. Its Nature (vv. 7-1 B). Haman
desired to lay hands upon Mordecal for
his Insubordination, but hesitated. In
stead of such drastic action he laid a
plot to destroy all the Jews, and there
by take vengeance on Mordecal, who
he learned waa a Jew. He made tha
king believe that the Jews were an un
profitable people and Induced him to
order their annihilation, promising to
bring Into the royal treasury an enor
mous sum of money.
111. Hainan's Plot Foiled (4(1-8:14).
1. Fasting Among the Jews (4:1-8).
When Mordecal and his people per
ceived all that waa done they put on
sackcloth ea 4 ashea and cried to God.
2. Mordecal'* Charge to Esther (4:4-
14). He sent to Esther a copy of th#
decree and charged her to go before
the king and make euppllcatlon for her
people. Esther pointed out the difficul
ties in the way. Possible death await
ed her should her uninvited presence
not meet the approval of the king.
3. Esther's Darlnfr Adventure (4:16-
5 :2). Mordecal pointed out to her that
her own life was endangered. Bhe
might ibeet death by venturing Into
the king's presence. She would surely
moot death were Hainan's plot not
foiled. When thus brought face to
face with duty, the heroism which o
frequently has characterized her race
moved her to undertake the hazardous
task nnd prayerfully carry It out
After three day* of fasting and prayer
she put on her royal apparel and stood
In the king's court, winning his ap
proval.
4. Esther Pleading for Her People
(5:3-7:0). Esther knew that an easy
wny to the heart of the king waa
through his stomach, so she invited
him and Haman to a banquet Bh#
proposed a second banquet at which
Rlie planned to mnke her request
mown. During the Interval some
strange things took place. A gallows
was built upon which to hang Morde
ral, at the heartless suggestion of Ha
man's wife. And the king, during a
sleepless night, was moved to search
the court record*, where he found that
Mordecal had not been rewarded for
saving his life. So, In order to ex
press his appreciation for this act of
heroism on the part of Mordecal, he
gave orders obliging Human to do hon
or to the one he wns preparing to
hang. At the second banquet Esther
pointed out Hainan’s wicked plot to
kill the Jews and asked of the king
thnt her people be saved. In hi* wrath
the king ordered Haman hanged on
the gallows which had been prepared
for Mordecal.
B. The Counter Decree Issued (8:8-
14). The original decree could not be
reversed, ao a ctfiinter decree was la
sued which enabled the Jewa to de
fend themselves. This wn* dispatched
to the furthest porta of th# kingdom.
At the appointed time there waa great
slaughter and the Jewa were saved.

Purlin was Instituted as a memorial

WRONG IDEAS ABOUT ALASKA
Winter* There Are Mild, Thermometer
In Region of Juneau Barely
Reaching Zero.
I met a family In Juneau, Alnska,
that had formerly resided In Cleve
land. I naked the lady of the house If
It wasn’t somewhat dlfltcult to stand
the rigors of the northern climate,
writes Sherman Ungers In the Outlook.
She laughed outright.
"Well," she answered, "we endured
Cleveland winters, and Juneau Is cer
tainly a paradise compared with Cleve
land, either In winter or summer. We
have been north eight years In all;
spent five winters here, and three
back homo; the five years we have
lived here during the winter months
tho thermometer has never reached
zero. lx you Imagine It takes a rig
orous person to stund such a climate?"
This was followed by peals of laugh
ter and further remurks about the
silly Ideas of people In the States re
garding the climate of Alaska.
Southeastern Alaska has an Oregon-
Washlngton climate, duo to the Jap
anese current, which has the same ef-
from Ketchikan to Cape Spencer
as it hus on Puget sound, resulting In
very mild winters and extremely de
lightful summers. Very seldom, In the
last 20 years, Ims the thermometer
reached zero In this entire section.
The Interior of Alaska, made famous
by exaggerating novelists, has a cli
mate closely duplicating Minnesota In
the winter, and Mnine or Oregon In
summer.
Woman Charged With Killing Baby
Rome. —Accused of having placed
her new-born baby between the mat
tresses of her bed and allowing It to
suffocate, Mrs. Magglo Strickland Is
being held In the county Jail on a
charge of murder. She Is not allowed
to furnish ball. The alleged killing
took place almost a month ago. For
* fortnight afterwards the woman was
guarded In her home because her phy
sical condition made it inadvisable to
move her. A week ago, however, she
was transferred to the county Jail.
The Justice ordered her held.
