NOT TO BE LNGORED

Persons who are inclined to ignore the candidacy of War
rem G. King in the campaign for the Republican nomination for
governor are apt to get a surprise when the primary ballots
are counted. Mr.. King is not the candidate of any particular
ring or faction and the Organization" so-called, is doing
everything possible to belittle the King candidacy, but there is
reason to believe that in spite of all that the machine" Repub-
licans, including the Public Service Corporation, can do, Mr..
King is gaining strength daily. He is putting up a strenuous
campaign in his own behalf and by his constant banging away
at the shortcomings of the old -line politicians he is receiving
considerable publicity. And there is reason to believe that this
kind of publicity has caused his opponents more concern than
they are willing to admit.
Just because the political workers and the various poit-
ical clubs, always more or less controlled by the machine
leaders, have seen fit to ignore the King candidacy, does not
mean that he has no chance. Whether he will be able to over
come the strength of the Organization by the time primary
day rolls around is problematical but if he keeps going as
strong as he is at present the other Republican candidates will
certainly know that King was in the running, anyway.
Mr.. King is a business man and not a politician. It has
been remarked that he did not make much of an impression
because he seemed to be always on the outside of the circle
when politicians assembled, as at Sea Girt on Governors Day.
But because he is not in the 'crele' and is not tarred with
the same stick as the rest, is one of his elements of strength.
The most prominent plank in Mr.. Kings platform is an
tagonism to the meddlng in government affairs by the Public
Service Corporation. Because he is aiming to break the hold
This corporation has, it is natural that the Public Service should
be doing everything possible to beat him. But as the people
Ihear him and get acquainted with him they realize that he is
"a man that is different from the ordinary run of politicians and
there are a great many VINO, having lost faith in both the old
parties in the way they have run things, are going to vote for
Mr.. King.
Whether the voters will come out at the polls on primary
day in sufficient number to overcome the Organization vote,
which usually predominates, is the question. If the machine
Is beaten at the game this time it will be a most unusual
achievement. In the meantime, Mr.. King must be given credit
FOR the spirited campaign that he is making.

Dahl Sermonette
Paul Smith"
That's SOMEBODY'S name.
By REV. CHARLES STELzLE

paul Smith"
That's SOMEBODY'S name.
But he isn't responsible for this
parents gave him this name.
It's the same way with every one
of us. Somebody else has given US the
names that we write on the hotel
register or when we sign our letters.
But we each of us usually receive
another name for which we are re-
sponsible-a name that pictures our
character.
Alexander the great" 'tStonewall"
Jackson. Bloody" Mary. Nero the
Cruel" Bismark, the iron chan
%cellor, Napoleon 'The man of des-
tiny,'-these illustrate what l mean.
We talk about making a name" for
ourselves. We're all doing it-every
one of us, sometimes unconsciously,
and often without knowledge of the
name that's written On our foreheads
so thai all may read it.
In the book Of Revelation we're told
that Gods name is written on the
foreheads Of believers-but we're, all
so told of another name that's mark
ed on the forehead of the scarlet wo-
man: the mother of denominations OF
the earth" The whole world viii
know whose we are by the marks on
our foreheads.
Men have tried by many devices to
perpetuate their names, as though
their names amounted to so very much
after all.
The Psaimist writes about folks in
his day who call their lands after
their own names"-and he shows the
folly of it. And today people call
hospitals and churches and streets
and towns latter their names.
Verify they have their reward
such as it is.
Concerning those whose deeds are
evil The bible says:
Their names shall be covered with
darkness"
Thou hast put their name out for
ever and forever"
The name of the wicked shall per-
ish."
II will blot his name out of the
book of life"
But God said concerning His own:
1T will give them an everlasting name,
which shall not be- cut off,
ITO him that overcometh will l give
a. new name. which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth it." we're told
in the Revelation.
It's a secret name, written in a
by which God calls us. III
It singles us QUITS a pet name
known only by the God who loves US
and who gave it to US. -
But it is heard only in the solltude
when we get alone with GOD, Tne
din of the world browns h voice OF
God. And we can't hear Him calling
us by his own name for us.

FARM PRICES HAVE DOUBLED

The United States Department of Agriculture has given
out farm food figures which make it clear that not a little of
the increased cost of things we eat goes into the growers
purse. .x.
Food prices on the farm have doubled in less than ten
years
In 1910 wheat growers got 95 cents a bushel; today they
average $500. Corn then brought &c cents a bushel; now the
average bushel brings $1.76. Potatoes went from 40 cents
the bushel to $i.2S. Sweet potatoes rose from rs cents to
$3.50. Apples went for o. cents in 1910, and nine years later
sold for $i.97 in the orchard. Then butter makers got 20
cents a pound; now the average price paid on the farm is At
cents Eggs scared from 18 cents to SO cents a dozen; and
chickens from i2 cents to 23 cents a pound.
Nearly all farm products have doubled in value to the proz
Queer within the past nine years, That may. be why there is
less rural criticism of the high cost of food than one meets
within cafes, where wages and salaries have not doubled since
1900. s.

ROADS AND PROSPERITY

Good roads agitation is very old. julius Caesar was a
good roads fanatic, and some of his highways are still in use
in England and France.
Today there isn't a more vital subjeot~than-ehat of
transportation, and the great bulk of food products and raw
materials of industry are, at some stage of the distribution pro-
cess, hauled over country roads.
Now that the motor truck is being utilized to speed up
distribution to link producer and consumer wherever possible
---good roads and roads of sufficient width are of paramount
Importance.
Involder countries than ours, all roads are good roads.
They haveto be, to feed the population from crowded acres,
Bad roads have been accepted as a matter of course in I'M
settled Communities, and good roads have been luxuries.
But the best possible highways are now sternly necessary,
In every part of the United States.
The federal government, the state, the county, the town
ship and everyone who eats food and wears clothes are vitality
concerned in good roads.
The question is not Can we afford to build good roads? '
1t is, Can we afford to support bad roads?'
