EiUy Sunday wishes there were
more people in Washington like Job.
He told his audience al the taber-
Tacle yesterday that he would
never believe the theory advanced
that the world is getting better until
humanity could produce another Job.
Billy was quite pcssimistic on this
theory and oppressed his sentiments
as follows:
81 am tired Of this hot-air. wind
jamminE about that proposition.
There j. not man or woman look

vantage over Job in ten thousand
ways. What little help he had to be
decent and good, compared with what
we enjoy today and yet when you
line Up the best man today and put
him by the side OF Job, he looks like
a plugged counterfeit cent beside a
thousand dollar government bond.
The book Of Job IL admittedly the
oldest writing i'll existence. Yet. way
back in those misty days We md =
man who puts Us to shame, and the
contrast makes as hang ou- heads in
disgrace. Job lived before one line Of
the I;ible was written. lie had no
church TO attend. He never heard a
sermon. He never was in a revival.
He never saw "A tabernacle. lie never
saw \. u. =. \. or Y. y. g. \.

ARE IMPROVING
Indications Point Tha,
Slopes Grain Production
/. Will Be Greater.

Mandarin. D., July 25.-:There are
prospects for a better crop production
in the Missouri river slope district this
than there were a year ago at
this time, and the indications>are that
the Slopes total production Of grains
will be greater this year than in 1917.
according to information obtained
from every, county in the district.
The greater acreage Of grain this
year will bring the production up to
the 1917 figure, and there arc indica-
>tions, too. that the average yield this
year will not be less than It was q year
ago. 4
Rye harvest is general. throughout
the district, and barley harvest has
in some places. Within a
week, the wheat harvest will be we'll
underway in the southern tier Of
counties Sioux. Grant,
Adams anA Hettinger, while two
weeks will see wheat harvesting under
way clear to the Manitoba boundary
line.
There are indications that consider
able damage has been done to the
grain IN some southwestern counties
by the ;grasshoppers. They have been
more numerous, this,year than for. sew
eral seasons past. but the intensive
campaign made on them by better
farming agents has had the effect Of
materially reducing the losses.
