Greater Supply Better Used

THE Armour Bureau of Agriculture is continually
L working with the farmers on such problems as
better breeding, disease preventing serms, scientific
feeding and many other factors to increase pro-
ducer's qualities and revenue. The stimulation of
clubs for boys the farm the proper of fertilizer
to bring about increased productivity through added
pasturage, cheaper feeding, and the development
of byproducs from the cereal end of the business for
cattle feeds are all properly part of this work.
Again, through the Armour Domestic Science Di-
vision, housewives are being shown greater eff

Air Raids.

This is a thrilling and true story Of
two women who kept a "posto di con-
forto" at Treviso, Italy, for travelling
sick and wounded soldiers:
Having done some very good ter
rorizing by the six o'clock raids, the
Huns kept them up. 1t was such q
pestiferous nuisance, because we were
always In the middle of cooking the
evening meall With your soldier cook
and servant safe down in the cellar.
1t becomes your pleasing duty to run
out between raids to stir the soup or
put another stick of wood on the fire.
With shrapnel falling all around, It
is not altogether wise to go with I'M
covered head. We had given our two
helmets to American ambulance driv-
ers and were without any. so l was
obliged to wear a granite saucepan on
my head for these stirring parties. 1t
was not our custom to go into a refuge.
We claimed TO those who expostulated
that during the raids was when we
were the most needed.-Red Cross
Magazine.

PASSING THE BUCK

The original war minerals bill was
intended to be a war measure, says
the American Mining Congress Jour
nal. Its purpose was to make condi-
lions under which the ferro mineral
industry of this country could be
made to meet the war demands of the
country without loss to those engaged
in the enterprise. While the bill was
under consideration by Congress
agencies of the government appealed
to the mining fraternity of the coun-
try to save the nation by producing
chrome, manganese, pyrites, tungsten
and other rare minerals, urging that
without a supply of these minerals
the steer industry must fail; and
that the steel industry's operation at
the proper prosecution of the war.
Under these conditions, and with full
faith that the government which
urged this production would deal
fairly with the men who met this de-
mand. several million dollars have
been invested in these enterprises.
The war minerals bill was intended
to meet these conditions and provide
against loss to those who met the
governments critical need. 1t is a
lamentable fact that the bill was not
put into operation until after the close
of the war and until after the patri-
otto efforts of the ferro mineral pro-
ducers had accomplished what the bill

him to get his company out and take
the nefarious cuss dead or alive. The
captain didn't do 1t, but IL just showed
how awake to his duty Slack had sud-
denly become. Any time you run over

intended to induce them to accom-
plish, viz, created an ample supply of
these minerals of which there had
been such a dire and dangerous short
age. The wording of the bill is such
as to make it extremely doubtful
whether it a technically apply to
a situation in which there is a surplus
of these materials.
When the bill could have served to
prevent the gross injustice which is
now threatened to the ferro mineral
producers, its operation was prevented
in great part by the inluenc eof n
man, who desired to add one more
power to the already dangerous pow
ers of his organization. When it vas
seen that the administration of the
bill was almost impossible, the gen
tleman who had heretofore been 81
anxious for this power quickly side
stepped the situation and consented to
the administration of the bill by the
Interior Department, where it should
have been placed before the close of
the war.
AS a result, Director Manning of the
bureau of mines is charged with a
responsibility which no human being
could possibly execute in such a way
as to save himself and his bureau from
criticism and denunciation. The Min
ing Congress Journal believes that
this is a cause for congressional &C
ton, and that the Congress should
promptly take such steps as will per-
nit the government to do absolute
justice to those who, for patriotic rea-
sons and at the governments request,
put them in a position which,
without such justice, will force them
bankruptcy.

We CANNOT SERVE TWO
MASTERS


So pronounced that he who runs
may read, is the revulsion of thought
of the press of the country against all
forms of medical propaganda, which
have run to extremes of absurdities
during the so-called epidemic of in
huenza in this country. Newspapers
may be counted by the hundreds
which have supported medical gro
tesqueness always in the past until
a month or so ago. The panic into
which human thought has been SC
~viciously plunged has caused many
heretofore not particularly religious
men to seek for some higher form Of
intelligence. The following excerpt
from the columns of the Newbern
North Carolina) Newbcrnian comes
to notice as a far cry. 1t is but typi-
cal of sentiment which may be noticed
growing everywhere with startling
rapidity:
The day after the closing of the
churches an old colored man asked
'Why do they close the churches
when they leave the stores open?" A
pertinent question, indeed, and n
which many are asking. To put the
question a little differently-is it more
important to keep the stores open to
49, -a H. - lvo1r fIr
churches open to worship God? The
facts show how Newbern this
yet God told Solomon that because he
had prayed for wisdom and not riches
He would give him riches and honor
and long life, too; and Jesus said
Seek We first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you"
This closing of churches has caused
many thoughts and questions to come
to the minds of the people. The fol-
lowing sentiment has been expressed
by many: Are we afraid to trust God
and do what He tells us?" 1t is the
concensus of opinion that we go TO
church services because God COM
mands us not to forsake "the assem-
bling of ourselves together" Now if
this is Gods command, what right
have human beings to say that at
some times His commands should be
obeyed and not at others? And if it
not His command, why do we go to
church at all? The Bible says God
is our all-wise (omniscient) and all
loving Father. AS He knows all Things
and loves all His children, will He
command us to do what is harmful
for us? God has promised to shelter
and protect those who obey Him
Surely in this time of sorrow and dis
tress in our town we need divine
protection. Have we a right to ask
it, if we are not obedient?
In many places protests have been
made over closing the churches, and
in some the ministers have refused,
when they thought it wrong. In Wash
ington the Federation of Churches
has protested to the board of health
saying that this interference with
peoples religion comes close to on
tradicting the Constitution of the
United States, which promises relig-
ious freedom to all.
The Bible is full of Gods promises
of deliverance, of protection, and OF
blessing to those who love Him and
keep His commandments, such as "Ye
shall serve the Lord your God. and
He shall bless thy bread and thy
water; and 1 will take sickness away
from the midst of thee"
