nlayed rs TO how Some Chrstidns use ms
to keep the people eraesh' 10 assist f''h
from utter encouragement. Apparent
" they were unable to trust the God
whom they could not see. The lead
ers took counsel together and deter
mined to make representative OF
.Iehoyah-an image which the people
could use as an instrument OF worship.
We are not to suppose that the IS
rselites recognized the golden calf as
their God Jehovah. but used it merely
rs q symbol. just as the heather use
their idols as representations OF their
gods. and as some Christians use the
cruciix-not to worship. but to assist
faith and hold attention.
Today's lesson seems clearly TO lndl
cate that God was greatly displeaseo
with their symbolic representation o.
Himself. One Of His commands had
becn, Thou shalt not make unto thee
any craven image" to bow down be-
fore il and worship it as symbol.
Making tho Golden Calf.
We are not to suppose that the calf
was made of solid metal. PROBABLY
il was made Of either clay or WOOD,
and then covered with molten gold.
Which in turu was craven or fooled.
Having made the idol, the people re-
ioired in it as an evidence OF God IN
their midst. and gave themselves up to
a season of feasting and dancing.
After forty days. Moses came down
from the mount with the tables OF ths
Law. He heard the people shouting
uud then beheld them worshiping the
golden calf. Moses was justly angry;
for he was the mediator between GOD
and Israel-the representative OF ootn,
charged by Cod with the responsible
III nf that nation. and he realized that
u serious crime against the Covenant
had been committed.
Moses dashed the tables OF the Law
into fragments. indicating that the
Covenant had been broken. Armed
with Divine authority, he let fall upon
the people just penalty for their
rand retrogression into sin. Then ne
went TO God IN prayer. and besonght
that. II the penalty Of this sin was the
casting of of Israel. he might himself
be blottcd out instead.
Such patriotism as Moses here evinc-
ed has surely not often been eqlaled
loyalty both to Israel. as representa-
tive and mediator. and also to God.
keep Yourselves From Idols"
Let us apply the lesson to Spiritual
Israel. After the Christian has left
the world. passed the bitter expert
nnces of Marah. had manifestations OF
Gods favor. partaken Of the Breah
from Heaven. and entered into f1ll
covenant relationship with God-there
comes time when he must walk by
faith, not by sight. If he fails to learn
this lesson. as did the typical israelites'

OPEN AIR SCHOOL
FOR SICKLY PUPILS
OakdaIe Has the Only Institution Of
This Kind in Iowa-Many Now
Throughout the Country.

Oakdale, Feb. 4.-Oakdale has the
only open air school in the state. AL
of the school work Is done in the open
air and the, children are wrapped In
blankets and have sacks to pull over
their feet ind knees. They do not
feel the cold and are very comfortable
H. A. Oliver of Fairfield is the teacher.
The first school of this kind was
opened in January 1907 and in 1910
only 10 were in existence. They are
now over 200. Massachusetts leading
all the states with sc fresh air schools.
In Boston alone there are over 80.
New York is second with 20 and Ohio
third with 21. 1t Is estimated that
over 100000 children now in school in
the United States will die Of tubercu'
losis before they are IS years of age
and the loss in waster educati n each
year amounts to over 100000
This loss and much of the incident
suffering could be materially decreased

tiva Stock and Pasture.

Leaving the subject of oats might
mention experimental work with live
stock and pastures At the present time
in this state our pastures are gettins
poorer from year to year instead OF
that condition our aim should be two
steers per acre of grass instead of one
steer for two acres Of grass as we nave
at present. There are many methods
being worked out to bring our pastures
into bearing. For instance most OF US
have blue grass pasture that pro
duces an abundance of feed during the
spring months and late fall, but there
are about two mnoths In midsummer
that blue grass needs rest. If we
could put some other grasses In win
our blue grass pastures that would
produce a growth Of seed during the
dormant season we will have done one
Of the greatest things toward upbulid-
ing our pasture. Along the lines OF live
stock, pure bred live stock associations
can be organized. Rules and bylaws
could be drawn so that membership
would be limited to those using pure
bred stres or could be even more
stringent. Why not build up a reputa-
ton in a county for all kinds Of pure
bred live stock the same as our city
brothers are doing with their manufac-
turing lines? If we should unite In pro-
ducing high grade Of draft horses OF
the different breeds; also cattle; ana
would build up a reputation by selling
only animals Of high class, then we
could come out with an advertisement
and say wapello county produces more
draft horses, more pure bred cattle
than any other county in the state.
This would soon attract great amount
Of buyers from different parts of the
county to come to the locality and take
out pure bred live stock Of the differ
ent breeds by the carload instead OF
by the single head as at the present
time.
To Stamp Out Disease.
THE county agricultural adviser
when located in county would have
complete charge Of contagious disease
in live stock and plants. For instance
use hog cholera as an example. In a
county where an agricultural expert Is
employed it is the duty Of the farmer
who has an outbreak OF disease to I'm.
mediately call he adviser to assist
him in locating the trouble. Also to get
aid in the way of veterinary help and
remedies. With the present use OF
serum If an outbreak Of cholera should
appear on one farm the adviser would
be called Immediately. the disease
could be stamped out at once.
practically every farmer in this
county or any other county in the state
that does not produce what 1t should.
He also has loss Of yield from the i'm
proper use Of crop rotation. 1t is the
county advisors duty to visit those
farms when requested and investigate
the soil conditions He also can aid in
the securing Of pure seeds for the
county In fact he can take up the sub
ject of studying the management OF
the best farm Of the county and carry
its idea to those who are having trou-
BILE. In other words the county agricul-
tural advisor is a thorough co-operator
or medium through which the farmer
can secure needed information. .
