ALLEGORY.-How long this drow-
siness and sleep?
How long this ignorance and blind
ness?
How long this heedlessness and
misery?
How long this oppression and in
justice?
How long this hatred and discord?
How long this rage of ignorant
ones?
How long this grasping with frail
imaginations?
How long this strife and argu-
ment?
How long this turmoil and these
battles?
How long these racial, patriarchal,
political prejudices?
Does it not behoove man to have
his heart submissive through the
mentioning of God? Has God sealed
the hearts and has the eye become
yelled with the clouds of injustice
that the souls are not aware of Gods
bounty overlooking unto all?
He has created all with His power,
supplied all with His mercy and
trained all with His divinity. You
will not find in the creation of God
any differences. TLen let us follow
the example of God in dealing with
justice, favor and generosity! Let
us leave oppression and wickedness!
Let us be as one family, with justice
and kindnessi Let us blend as wa
ter and wine! Let us unite as one
soul!
We can not establish a policy
greater than the policy Of God. We
can not find anything which is suit
able to the world of humanity great
er than the bounties of God. Do not
change the gift of God-which is per-
feet unity, perfect peace-in this
path.

With the light frost of last month
the green of the prairies of the west

which would allow a prairie fire TO
run over the prairie if once started.
The danger of the situation is being
called to general attention by the local
press of the state, asking that proper
fire guards be constructed to save
property. The length of the grass on
the prairie this year means a fire hard
to control if once started, and the
warnings have good grounds for appre-
hension.
The acreage of winter wheat and
winter rye in the central part of the
state will be spread this fall, for the
various reasons that the yields secured
on these crops this season are general
ly ahead of the spring sowings; and
further that the late rains have put the
soil in good condition to give the win
ter grains a good start this fall, and
assure them a good start for next
spring. Some of the winter wheat har,
vested has gone nearly forty bushels
to the acre, with winter rye ranging
as high as forty-one bushels in some
fields and these yields are responsible
for the spread of these crops.
