love so wonderful. 1t isn't a
vague, vanishing thing-some-
thing that disappears into thin air
when you need it most, and expect
most from tit is strong, pas
sionate, manly.
Neither is it so colorless and
general that it means little to in
dividuals. The love of Jesus at
tracts men-little groups of them
have gotten closer to him than the
crowd.
One man = a fisherman - is
known as the one whom Jesus
loves only because he seems to
understand Jesus better than the
rest of us.
His home is always open to
those who wish to know him.
Sometimes men come to Him by
night to talk out their hearts.
And Jesus never deals in plati-
tudes that sound fine enough, but
never get you anywhere.
It's because He puts His own
heart into His speech that men are
won by Him--you quickly see that
1t is love which prompts Him-He
cares little about fine phrases.
When men call on Jesus He
speaks in plain, rugged language
which everybody can understand.
Neighborliness is one of His
chief charms.
Somebody asked Him one day:
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-04-07

And who is my neighbour" And
He told a story a parable -
about a man in this town, who is
despised because of his race. This
man proved that he was a better
neighbor than some of the high
brows who wouldn't associate
with poor chap who had been
beaten by the gang.
Jesus loves this town. He loves
its people.
He would give himself for them
in service, even to the point of
sacrificing all that He might claim
as His own-time, comfort, con-
venience.
He has said that He would give
His life for His friends-a man
couldn't do more than this.
That's why Jesus, the citizen,
may have anything that He wants
in this town. The wonderfully
strange thing about it is that He
doesn't want favors-He's quite
willing thta others should have
them, and He is all the time pour
ing them into others lives.
lie is great-just as a citizen

OF the Farm Loan board at Wash
ington, ID. c., in letter deplorine
the legislatures negligence.
Slaughtered in House
The legislation asked for pro
vided merely that farm loan bonds
should be declared a lawful In
vestment for fiduciary funds In the
state.
A bill embodying this was in
troluced by Senator Metcalf and
passed the senate without opposi-
ton.
But In the face OF letters from
Secretary McAdoo that the bene-
fits of the farm loan bank might
be lost here IL the bill were not
passed, II was buried in the house
rules committee, headed by Speak
err Guy Kelly of Tacoma, 80 busy
were the leaders cutting the pe
and spending the states money.
State VIII he Loser
1T is to be regretted that the
state legislature of Washington
aid not follow the suggestion of
Secretary McAdoo," says Secre-
tary Flannagan's letter.
I'm point of fact, until such law
is enacted, the state itself will be
the loser, in not having this adj
vantage possessed by the great
majority of states which do follow
the suggestion.
You can rest assured that this
failure on the part of your legis-
lature will not affect the estab-
lishment of the federal land bank
at Spokane. 1t has been organ
ized and the secretary OF the treas
ury requested to make payment of
his subscription to the capital
stock.
Farmers Anxious
Il can see that the failure to en-
act the law will lessen the local
demand for farm loan bonds. and
to this extent retard the develop
ment of the Spokane bank, but
the farm loan board will not dis
criminate against the bank on that
account, although such failure
may create the necessity of the
board assisting that bank. in mar
keting its bonds"
The secretary's letter was in
reply to one from Senator Metcalf
urging the need of the bank here.
Since the legislature fell down
on Its job, many farmers have
been anxious concerning the fate
of the bank in this state.

TACOMA TO OBSERVE WARTIME EASTFF
HOW CUSTOM
ORIGINATED

An old rhyme contains complete explana-
ton OF the expensive modern Easter parade:
"At Easter let your clothes be new
Or else be sure you will it rue"
AS in many other festivals symbolism, Gus
tom and superstition are closely combined in
the popular observance of Easter day.
Flowers are freely used as emblems of the
Resurrection having just risen from the earth
where they seem to have been buried during
the winter SHOWS.
The egg was very ancient symbol of the
universe in the time of the ancient Egyptians.
Some writer's claim that Easter eggs were first
dyed red in memory of the blood shed by
Christ, but it is probable that the custom of
eoloring eggs originated with the Persians who
believed that the earth was Matched from an
immense egg
Eggs are exchanged as Easter gifts by the
people Of many lands, and from this practice
grew the various sports with eggs, egg hunt
ing, egg rolling and battles with hard boiled
eggs.
The bunny came into the Easter celebration
by way OF Germany. A genuine Easter bunny
is always pure white and he is supposed to hide
the colored eggs for which children search on
Easter morning.
The name by which we know the dav is
identical with that of the ancient Saxon god
dess of spring, Easter or Eostre, whose feast
day fell in the month of April.

BY its negligent failure to en-

the establishment of the bank at

BUREAUS IN NEED OF SPACE
War Work of State, War and Nav,
Departments HAMMERED

Unless prompt relief is afforded the
administrative work of the State, War
and Navy departments in connection
with the conduct of the war will be
very much hampered, it is said by the
officials of those departments. The
Navy Department in particular is so
short of working space that it became
necessary today to place the desks of
some of the clerks in the Corridors
War preparations have fallen SO
heavily on both the War and Navy
departments that either could occupy
the big granite building at 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue without having
more room than is necessary Every
available foot of working space is be-
ing utilized, and many of the army and
navy bureaus are scattered in outside
private buildings
An effort has been made to relieve the
situation by the temporary occupation
by the Navy Department of the new In
terror Department building, corner of
18TH and F streets. Congress has been
urgently requested to make provisions
to relieve the situation, and many pri-
vate buildings in the vicinity of the
state, War and Navy building have
been inspected. with a view to their
use by the government in case au-
thority Is given.
