JACKSON, Miss. Sept. 5.--Congress-
man r. L. Sisson. in n speech at the
Masonic picnic at Winters Grove,
threw out suggestion to ministers.
1t was that they should preach at
least one sermon every six weeks on
The text. six Days Shalt Thou
Labor
THE command to work six days in
the week is just as compelling and
imperative as the command to not
work on the Sabbath" said Congress
man Sisson. and yet none OF us ever
hear any sermons on that part of the
command. ] wish we had a law on
the statute books to the effect all
ministers woul be required to preach
from that text at least once every six
weeks for work Is what we all need
TO do, aud If everybody work ed six
days in the week nobody would feel
IKE doing anything else but resting

In my opinion Gunnison county-an
Empire in itself, has just begun to
grow
The raising of small grain on the
sage brush mesas of the county without
irrigation has been successfully demon
strated.
One Of the model ''dry farms" is on
the Sapinero mesa. There is room for
twenty more farms with just as good a
prospect of success as the Austins had.
1t would not surprise me but that the
highway as now planned by the state
would be needed by new settlers, as
well as for its connection with the Black
mesa road, the most scenic in the world,
before the county and state will be able
to reconstruct the old road from Lake
