Iowa Great Apple Growing State.

p 51ffIowa had hi thoroughly organized
fruit growers association, such as
they have, in the fruit growing dis
tricts Of the coast states, the name and
fame of Iowa, apples would travel to
the uttermost ends Of the earth. AS
it is Iowa picks her annual crop of
one, two or three million bushels as
a sort of side line between harvest
and corn husking and says little or
nothing about it. Iowa has more than
$4,000 acres in apple orchards, more
than Oregon and Washington combin-
ed, and yet we hear more about west
ern apples than about our own de-
licious home grown fruit. Last years
apple crop in Iowa was not up to the
mark as to quantity, due largely to
the coating of ice that incased the
trees for more than two weeks in
February. Even at that 1,575,00O bar
rels, or 4,725,000 bushels, were har-
vested. In 1915 the yield was 1920
700 barrels, probably the largest ever
picked in the state. When the time
comes-as it will-that Iowa orchards
are cared for as carefully and consci-
;ntiously as are the orchards of the
Tar west, anew and important source
u wealth will have been opened to
The state; for nowhere will land yield
such bountiful returns of fruit for
lime and labor expended

up on the lake and the disciples were
much afraid. 1t was at this time that
Jesus walked upon the water to the
relief of the disciples and that Peter
attempted to walk over the waves to
meet Him. s..,r3sY ..
The next morning the people who
had been fed by Jesus began to look
around for Him and, not finding Him,
took ship to the other side, where they
found Him. Jesus told them that they
the loaves and were filed. We now
come to the great spiritual truth which
Jesus meant to teach. He told the as
sembled people that they should not
be so anxious for food for their stom.
achs as for meat that would endure
unto everlasting life. b He then declar-
ed, II am the bread of life; he that
cometh to me shall never hungrer;
and he that believeth on me shall new
er thirst" 1t is most profitable to
consider the various things that Jesus
said of Himself. He told the woman
Of Samaria that He was the Christ;
the Pharisees II am the Light Of. the
world" At another time Il am the
good shepherd" He told Martha Il
am the resurrection and the life" To
the disciples he said II am the way,
the truth and the life" And again II
am the true vine.'
Jesus would clearly show to us the
spiritual nature of His kingdom. He
would teach US that the advantages Of
physical things are not to be compared
with those spiritual. Christian people
ever bear testimony that the spirit of
God in the heart is to them as living
water and bread. Their souls feed up
on these and are strengthened for
life's trials. The miracle of the feed
ing of the five thousand was but an OBJ
ject lesson leading up to the talks as
to the. dread of life" which came
down from heaven. There is taught in
the miracle. that by presenting the lit
lie we have for the use Of God, unex-
pected and great things can be done.

March 4.-Jesus Feeding the Five
Thousand. John 6: 1.21. t,--& E.......
4 We have for our lesson this week
one of the remarkable miracles per
formed by Jesus during his ministry
on the earth. 1t is narrated in all the
four gospels, being found in John as
stated above; Matt. IA: 1921; Mark
6: 30-44; Luke 8: 1917. Those partic-
ularly interested could well read all
the accounts, as there are details in
each not mentioned in the others. %
The scene of our lesson is on the
shores OF the sea of GaIiIee. Jesus
went across to the other side from the
city of Capernaum. 1t was TO noun
famous place. s Great multitudes fol-
lowed Him there because they had wit
messed miracles which He had per-
formed and healing of those diseased.
It, would appear that the day being
spent, Jesus became aware that the
people were hungry. One of the dis
ciples suggested that the people be,
sent to their homes. Jesus had in
mind to feed the assembly but to test
or prove Phillip he asked this disciple
where bread could be bought. Phillip
replied with the amount of money
which would be necessary Another
disciple, Andrew, gave information
that there was:fa lad in the company
who had FIVE barley loaves and two
small fishes, but this supply was small
when there were so many to feed.
We now come to the great miracle.
Jesus gave directions that the multi
ude be seated in orderly groups. When |
his was done Jesus took the lOaves |
ind when He had given thanks He
distributed them to the disciples to
i've to the expectant people. A dis
of the fishes was made in
Ike manner. When all were satisfied

Domestic Science and Living Costs.
The Domestic Science schools say
there is great demand for lecturers
| to go out and talk to clubs on these
subjects, But there is as yet no great
demand among married women for the
formation of classes in which they
shall take them up in a thoro way. To
get the technique and the methods of
good domestic science in a few club
lectures is about as AZ girl tried to
learn stenography in q half dozen
lessons .
Housekeeping is trade requiring
just as thorO preparation as office work
as there will be waste and high living
costs and bodily fatigue until women
get that thoro preparation. However,
thousands of domestic courses in pub.
lie schools are making a splendid be-
ginning. Many young brides of the
next few years will begin their mar.
ried life knowing far more Of house
work than their mothers did at simil-
lar age. -.E
For women who formerly kept ser.
wants, new methods have made it pos

trained maid Of all work. With good
tools and properly fitted kitchens. they
have saved servants wages and fooa
and eliminated waste, besides enjoying
better health from their active life.
For women who have .been doing
their own Homework, domestic science
shows more efficient ways Of working
less physical and nervous strain, abili-
ty to perform more work with less ef-
fort. This gives them more time to
study many means of economy some
of which were suggested in a previous
article. -,
After all, the vital question is the
womans personal relation to her home
tasks. If she gets interested in them,
II she comes to look at them as prob
lem just as we'll worthy Of her brains
and initiative as the tasks her men
take up in factory and Office; she will
find plenty Of ways to make her home
more efficient and economical.
