as nation. It was this kingdom which, when
John preached and Jesus preached was "at

Millennium it will be literally established. See

the first stage Of Christ s ministry, the Kingdom
Of Heaven was at hand. Israel rejected the Of

The so-caled Lord s Prayer Matthew %

any sense the Lords Prayer It was the Dis
clples' Prayer the prayer which Jesus gave the
Jewish disciples to pray during the transition
period, and again to be prayed during the great
tribulation period.
The Lord s Prayer is the Seventeenth Chap
ter of John.
Later, when Jesus stood in the shadows Of
Gethsemane and Calvary, He said to the very
same disciples who, on the Day Of Pentecost
constituted the charter members of the Church
HAnd whatsoever we shall ask in Ny Name, that
will do, that the Father may be glorifed in
the Son. IF we shall ask anything in Ny Name

PROMISES
BIG COTTON CROP

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 20.-In-
formation received by George H.
Hecke, state commissioner of horti-
culture, intimates that there will be a
big increase over 1917 in the acreage
planted to cotton in California this
year. However, the scarcity of seed
is expected to prove a factor in de-
termining finally the area planted to
the product, Commissioner Hecke says.
Cotton will be grown on a larger
scale than ever before in some sec
tons of Central and Northern Cali
fornia, while in both the Imperial and
Palo Verde valleys the acreage planted
this year will be increased, it is ex-
pected. Between 5000 and 1000 acres
will be planted to cotton in sections
of Green county and Fresno county,
according to information received here
by Hecke. The Imperial valley acre
age last year exceeded 100000 and that
planted in the Palo Verde valley was

approximately $4,000 acres, according
to Hecke.
Requests to raise the quarantine
against the importation of cotton seed
from other states, particularly the
short staple seed from Texas, caused
Commissioner Hecke to communicate
with w. A. Taylor chief of the bureau
of plant industry of the United States
department of agriculture, who advised
Hecke that the Pima variety of cotton.
grown in Arizona, is the only variety
likely to better the industry in Cali
fornia. Importation of this seed al
ready is permitted. Taylor also wrote
that stocks of good seed in Texas were
inadequate and that growers in the
state were facing the necessity of i'm
porting seed.

THE CONFLICT OF THE CLASSES

Business certainly needs a soul, but
how can a soul live in an organism
that worships business because it is
big and constantly reaching out for
something bigger? How can a soul
remain alive under conditions where
business is viewed as a conflict for
the control of the world by means of
restrictive laws that give some men
advantages over others? How can
soul exist in a body that believes
that business is war to be carried
on with all the ruthless disregard for
justice and equity that characterizes
the war of the kaiser for conquest of
the world?
Greed for wealth is but the dis
eased desire for something that is
good and necessary for the existence
of man. The disease is produced by
privileges, law created, that prevent
the mass of mankind from access to
the earth from whence this wealth all
comes.
Human institutions give power to
the few to take toll from the many in
a way that makes labor a beggar for
the chance to work. Hence the pow
erty generates the greed for wealth
that creates the autocracy that threat
ems.
Abolish the toll taking privileges
and the getting Of wealth will be SO
there would be but one class in the
world-a class Of free and equal men
and women, all finding such abund-
ant wealth coming to them from their
labor, that the soul would revive in all
business, and all would cooperate to
do the things for the common good
that cannot be done by individual ac-
ton. But in such conditions all would
have to work and there would be no
class to look down upon another

in that language, and not few have
picked up scraps of English. There

island, and this is merely q collection
Of huts. Here the company" oper-
ates n STORE" and this, in conformity
with It's kind in all times and in all

every instinct in us that lifts US above
the mere brute, show us that the war
must go on. Otherwise earth becomes
hell without hope. The men, the
ships, the munitions must go forward
to the war and behind them must come
the money, without which nothing can
move. Where our hearts are, there
must our treasure be also. There has
been a great deal of money spent in
England lately, several millions day
for the last 1900 days. That means
that many people have had the chance
of earning more money than they
could have earned in peace times.
Our security for our loan is
not only the whole of the British en-
pire, but also the whole Of civiliza-
ton, which has pooled its resources
in men, money and material to carry
on this war to victory. Nothing else
under heaven matters today except
that the war shall go on to that end.

ling.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-10

In opening the recent convention of
the U. S. chamber of commerce, Pres
ident Rhett voiced a warning to bust
ness men that there is an important
part for them to play in protecting
America from foes that threaten from
within. unrest has arisen," he says,
"by the distribution of the great
wealth that has come to the people
of this country. 1t must be reckoned
with if industry and commerce are to
go on under private control and leader
ship. Otherwise the Boil
sheviki will arise in America as well
as in Russia to paralyze all bust
ness. The greed for wealth
was rapidly creating plutocracy as
mighty and offensive as any autoc-
racy in history. To me the highest
mission of the chamber is to put
soul into business. We no longer see
classes arrayed for conflict but
marching side by side in mutual con-
fidence to greater prosperity"
If social, economic and political
chambers of commerce and labor
unions begin to see the fact of the
existence of problems not mentioned
in their bylaws and constitutions,
it is another evidence of changing
conditions. But progress must be
, slow II they do not dig beneath the
surface and begin to interrogate the
why and the wherefore.
The real view when we look around
is not the classes chat we see march,
ing together, but the highest officers
Of the government and the labor
unions and the business organizations
straining every nerve to pacify labor
and control business SO the marching
may not interfere with the waging
Of the war for the preservation Of
democracy.
We see business men puzzling their
best brains to make conditions safe
for private business; SO safe that 80
per cent Of them shall not seek the
bankrupt court before they have fair
ly gotten started in business. We see
expensive and powerful and in some
respects vicious political organizations
fighting each other for the control Of
government, each claiming their grand
and glorious machine to be the only
protection and salvation Of the peo-
pie from restitution and disaster.

reconstruction she doesn't know
whether her labor of today is to last.
She is haunted by the fear that the
Hun may drive thru again and undo
what she has labored so hard to ac-
complish. She may have to recon-
struct again. She doesn't know, but
she labors on. She's taking the
'Waacs'' of Great Britain.
The white hand is a thing of the
past over there. Mamie's hand is a
calloused hand, bruised and hard
ened hand. It is hand of toll.
Women are engaged in all of Brit
aims war industries. In many of them
they outnumber men heavily. They
help make rifles, shells, explosives,
airplanes and ships. They are at
forge, at machine; they are at throt-
tie and steering wheel. And in addi-
ton to all of this they keep the
hearths of Britain homelike.
And there are the w. A. A. C.'s-
Waacs. as it is written nowadays
and the Wrens, two mighty organiza-
lions of women in military or semi
military service. Right slam-bang up
against the front, these women toll,
side by side with John. They do
everything from cooking to digging
graves. Their tasks are limited only
by their capacity.
And it is interesting just there to
recall that we met a gray uniformed
American woman in London engaged
in building up service for the Amer
lean front modelled after the pattern
of the Waacs organization. She was
a thoroly capable American woman
who radiated energy and enthusiasm
ha A
on her collar.
Some busy-bodies in England, more
hasty than wise, stirred up hornets
nest by charging that the women at
the front were STEPPED in immortality.
There was an official investigation and
we had the pleasure of reading the
report before we sailed for home. Nor
atty ran a better race at the front
than in civilian life. Actually less
immortality among these women in
the rough and ready of war than in
the protected" home life of their for
mer sphere. 1t was a crushing an
swer to those who assailed Mamie's
conception of what her job is in this
war.
Mamie a Real Help.
These women of France and Brit
ain are not in industry because profit

cheaply. They are there because they
want to be there and because they
are needed there. John is not enough
to run the front line and the home
line at the same time in this war.
John has got to have Mamie's help
and Mamie is on tip-toe to give it to
him. The happiest faces in England
were the faces of women munition
workers. No one can ever tell the
insanity among women that has been
prevented cover there" by the work
they have had to take their minds
from the everlasting strain Of worry
about John out there where life is an
everlasting juggle with death.
Their Heroic Achievements.
It seems to me that this heroic
achievement of the women of France
and Britain should key every Ameri-
can to achieve to the utmost.
America would go wild with enthu-
siasm and would weep honest tears of
emotion if the great army Of NAMES
the women war workers of those
two lands-could march in their thou
sands upon thousands from New York
to San Francisco, thru the main street
of every city. If America could see
that army! How it would unleash en-
ergy and fire and ambition and deter
mination! How the wheels would
hum!
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-10

Once war was Johns affair and he
did it all-bossed, fought it-and took
the credit and glory and spoils.
Mamie stayed at home, either as
wife or sweetheart, mother or daugh-
ter. All she did was wait and worry
and mourn.
This war isn't Johns war any more
than it is Mamie's war.
John couldn't fight this war if Ma
mic didn't help him.
What the results of this new par
ticipation in war on Mamie's part are
going to be time alone can tell-but
there are going to be results, and big
ones. Let no one imagine anything
else.
Every time something is started
there has got to be a finish-and
something was started when Mamie
went to war. The finish may be a
long time coming, but come it will.
And we shall probably be happy and
better off with it when it comes, for
civilization is going to build for the
better when we have cleared away
the muck and ruck of this war.
John Now at the Front.
John is still doing the fighting at
the front. He's doing the shooting
and the bold going cover the top" and
he's manning the airplanes and the
ships that go out to sea to fight. But
he's not alone at the front. Mamie
in this war is never out of gun shot
range around the front line territory.
Women by the thousands are con-
stantly within gun range of the
trenches. l talked with American
women in France who are running
| pv,fn ~, ~
once in a while by Hun air craft.
Nothing less than an invasion in force
will ever drive those women out of
the field of their work. 1t is theirs
now-they believe it is theirs and they
are there to stick.
There is no such thing as safety in
France anywhere between Paris and
the front line. And in that vast dan
ger zone women play their part with
as much devotion and bravery as do
men.
British women, French women,
American women, Belgian women
women of many nationalities-Mami
of every civilized land is fighting the
good fight today. You don't brighten
women away from this war with talk
of danger.
Women Toilers of France.
AT great French munition plant
where $4,000 shells per day are
turned out by 10000 workers, there
are 1000 women at work-7,O00
French women. Where is the scoffer
who used to say French women were
dolls of more or less sentimental
makeup and more ornamental than
useful?
These French women stand in the
raging heat of FORCES, swinging ham,
mers; they run all manner Of ma
chimes that help produce this enor-
nous output; they ride high aloft
in huge travelling cranes-they do al
most. everything that John used to
do when he ran wars all by himself.
Not only that. Out thru France
the women toil-young women, mid
die aged women and old women
planting the crops of France, tending
the vines of France, gathering the
food of France. We rode for mile
after mile thru the country overrun
by the Hun in 1914 before Joffre
stopped the invasion at the Marine.
It has been a painful process, bring
ing this vast area back to life and
productivity. 1t is a country being
created anew. 1t will take years to
bring it to what it was before the
destroyer marched over it. Mostly
this is Mamie's job. And as Mamie
tolls with bent back over this task of
