1t seems that many of our farmers
have just realized in the past three
years, the real value of their lands,
and are now putting every available
acre under cultivation. Several years
ago many Of our farmers farmed for a
living, but now they are farming for a
living and wealth. In the next ten
years the value of farm land will reach
twice its present value, and some can
not be bought. Farming Is the chief
industry and every farmer should buy
farm while opportunities are good.

The church needs today to use the
power which God has given. Often we
pray for power when the power Is al
ready available. and we are found in
the attitude not using that which God
has placed in our hands. The Master
said: "All power is given unto me in
heaven and in EARTH" He is the head
Of the church and he has promised his
power for the accomplishment of the
work which the church ought to do.
Are we not sometimes In the position
of praying for power when we should
be praying for willingness to appro-
pirate the power that Christ has al.
ready given us?-Christian Observer.

Publicity of accounts Is the cry OF
lie officials were not called to account
as now. Forty years ago but few
would dare to ask treasurer to make
detailed accounting Of public funds.
But SO many officials have become
corrupt. have nisused money, have
lived in luxury, out Of the poor peo-
pies money that everywhere they are
asking for an accounting. In this state
this Is truer today than ever, and
same sad, sad revelations have been
made. Millions OF dollars were stolen
In the building of our state capitol,
resulting in the sentences of several
prominent men. An accounting sent
several Pittsburg councilmen to pris-
on, and an accounting now going on
Of affairs in this city seems to show
that upward of seven million dollars
have been misapplied.
People are therefore demanding that
thorough accountings be made. They
ask not only what have been the gross
receipts, but the itemized receipts.
They ask not only what have been the
gross expenditures, but the itemized
expenditures, and only by getting each
item can they tell whether their serv-
ant is dealing fair with them.
1t is gratifying to see how many
published reports are itemized. This
is not only a protection to the treas
urer, but relieves the suspicious Of
the people. II Philadelphia had pub
