It developed that it probably will be taken over by J. c. Kester, and the members present assured MT. Hester of their hearty support if he buys it. It is good, up-to-date outfit, and if MT. Kester buys it, will be ready to take care of this falls crop.
 The harvest labor question prom ises to be puzzling. President Ferrill said he had been assured that good number of Hopi Indians could be se- cured. MT. Kinnison asked members to take their need for laborers to Mir. Timberlake, local government agent, who is in touch with local labor sup ply sources. The securing of the hopis was also referred by the bureau to MT. Timberlake.
 It was suggested that Secretary Johnson be compensated for the large amount of correspondence and other

 There is no grave on earth's broad chart

 Ralph Ellingwood, who has been here few days visiting at M. J. Rior- dams, had some amusing as well as many depressing experiences while war prisoner in the hands of the Boche. His captors card-catalogued all the prisoners, using some funny psychological tests to determine their peculiar fitness for the various tasks they were to be assigned to. But the frugal Boche had no intention of let ting any man-power go to waste, and they were so systematic about the as sorting of the round pegs into the round holes as about other things. So, after being asked how many legs Zulu had, and various other strange things, Ralph was finally assigned to farmer who wanted an agriculturl laborer. But Ralph refused agricul- turate. Then he was applied for by a Deutsche frau, who wanted Helper, as she had more than she could take care of alone, being proprietor of both saloon and farm. She got Ralph.
 MT. Riordan is now trying to con vince Ralph that he ought to publish a book, entitled Letters to My Little Boche Beer Boss"

 Asked Tom Rees, clerk of the supe- rior court, the other day what the weather was going to be. He report ed: For the next few days look out for raw north to east winds, a warm spell, showers followed by cool north erly winds, perhaps frost, followed by a hot wave, perhaps dull, cool and showery. followed by pleasant ingrow- ing weather, and, above all things, be prepared for seasonable weather" "When I am dead you'll find it hard,p

HOMES WANTED
FOR BABIES

The Tennessee Children's Home
Society has in its Receiving Home
seven tiny babies, less than three
months old, for whom it wishes to
find good, comfortable homes.
Several of these babies were
left orphan and homeless by the
influenza epidemic. They are
bright, healthy, beautiful babies
and deserve a chance to grow up
in family home with the love and
protection of a good father and
mother.
1t is hoped that many who read
this appeal will be inspired to ex-
tend their love and tender care
and the opportunity for a chance
in life for these babies. They are
normal, sweet and attractive just
like other babies. They have
dimples and soft curls like others.
They smile aud COO and make life
sweeter just like other babies.
They however, though no fault of
their own, but simply because of
misfortune are being denied the
chance for a normal, wholesome,
happy home life.
Will you not give them chance? :?

that the retention of spiritual life
in our own souls depends upon our
endeavor to lead others to God,
When Jesus looked upon human
ity lost and going to perdition he
was moved with compassion toward
them, and 80 must we have the
same spirit if we expect him to
continue to own and bless us. We
are doing this or that for the good
of lost humanity and much that is
being done is good, but humanity
needs above everything else the
glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
We talk about no more wars,
about universal peace and to bring
about such a great thing, we are
talking a great deal about league
of nations and very probably such
an alliance Will go far toward
bringing and keeping the world in
peace 80 far as wars on a colossal
scale are concerned but there shall
never be universal, lasting peace
on earth until there is enthroned
in the hearts and lives of all man.
kind the principles of the kingdom
of Jesus Christ.
Go ye, therefore, and teach all
nations. Go forth and proclaim
the great message OF Gods love,
and If you can not go, help some
one else to go.

MAKE VICTORY
LOAN POPULAR

Now that Congress has passed
the bill authorizing the hotation
of the Victory Liberty Loan, too
much emphasis can not be attach
ed to the statement recently made
by Secretary of the Treasury Glass,
urging that the forthcoming loan
be popular in the same sense as
those that preceded it.
This loan, in order that the
greatestgood should beaccomplish-
ed, must be popular in every sense
of the word. 1t would be unfor-
tunate indeed if the people were
to assume that the banks are ex-
pected to absorb this last offering
that marks the close of the fnan-
cial burden to be borne by the
American people because of the
world war.
The financial situation, as we'll
as the business situation, is depend
ent upon as wide distribution as
possible of the government borrow
ings.
Every man should know tn at
the principal functions of the
banks are those that they are now
performing, purchasing the short
time Treasury Certificates of In
debtedness issued by the Govern
ment in anticipation of the Fifth
Liberty Lcan.
The proceeds of the Fifth Lib
erty Loan will come from the peop-
le and be available for the pay
ment of these short time Certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness. thus releas-
ing bank funds for the use Of in
dustry and agriculture and per-
haps for a later use in assisting the
Government again in purchasing
future short time Treasury bill in
case they should be offered.
1t is essential that the chairman
of the Local War Loan organiza-
tions throughout the entire Eight
Federal Rererve District, and
other workers connected with the
organization, be familiar with and
know the situation az it exists, and
it should serve to remind each
Liberty Loan worker that the
general public be as fully inform
ed. as he is.
The greatest misfortune that
could befall this country next to
losing the war, would be for the
Victory Liberty Loan to fail.

life in the next world. His work,

utters this last command to his
disciples and we often wonder if
we who profess to be his disciples
today are carrying out this CON-
mand as we should.
| fear we have grown into th e
idea that those who can tell the
glad gospel story by oral procla-
nation are the only ones to whom
this command is applicable. Far
be this utterly fallatious idea from
you. The preacher has his duties,
it is true, but you have yours in
this great work for which you are
just as responsible as the preacher
is for his. If you can not preach
the gospel by oral proclamation
you can give of the temporal bless,
ings which God has given you
that those who are 80 gifted may

You can live such a devoted
Christian life that it will proclaim

Christ can do for sin sick souls
