l. The appeal wv. 10, 14). He made
the appeal on the basis of the filial
loyalty of the Rechabites. He remind
ed them that the Rechabites were ODE
dent, though their father was dead
hong ago. He also reminded them that
he had spoken to them in person, rising
up early to do so.
2. The ministry of the prophets (vv.

the prophets, who plead with them to
amend their ways by turning away
from their idols. Matthew Henry indi-
Gates the points of contrast somewhat
as follows: "a The Rechabites were
0bedient to one who was but a man !;
the Jews disobeyed the infinite and
eternal God. (2) Jonadab was dead
long since and could not know of their
disloyalty or correct them from it. God
is all-wise and lives forever and will
punish for disObedience. (3) The Rech-
abites were never put in mind of their
obligations, but God sent his prophets
who rose up early to remind them. az
Jonadab left the charge but no estate
to bear the charge; but God gave the
people a goodly land and blessed them
in it. (5) God never tied up his people
to any hard task like Jonadab did, yet
Gods people disobeyed him and the
Rechabites obeyed their father.

obedience ". ~.
God declared that he would bring
judgment upon them according to what
he had said. Judgment is determined
upon those who disobey and rebel
against God.

Their Loyalty wv. IS, 19).
Because they had been true to the
commands of Jonadab they should
have continued representation before
God. God has such regard for filial
obedience that he let's no act go unre-
warded.

/. The Rechabites Tested

|. The Rechabites Tested (vv. 1-5).
In the days of Jehoiakim the Lord
charged Jeremiah to bring the Recha-
bites into the house of the Lord and test
them regarding the drinking of wine.
This he did in place where the people
might behold them, the aim being to
teach Israel by example The father
Of the ReChabites had given command
that they should not drink wine. Their
filial obedience put to shame the Is
raelites for their lack of obedience.
Jonadab the father of the Rechabites,
was only man, but the one whose
commands Israel were disregarding
was the Almighty God, their Creator
and Savior 1t is Gods plan that every
man be tested. Being free agent he
only can have character through test
ing. 1t was for this reason that God
placed Adam and Eve in Eden and per-
mitted the devil to test them. While
we should be concerned with the re-
moval of temptations from men, we
should be more concerned with teach
ing them their responsibility and show
ing them how to overcome.

bites wv. 6-11).

EVERY 8-hour bill is SO drawn as not
to include farmers and the latter are
voluably informed that it cannot affect
them. But you bet it can! Let there
be enacted an 8-hour urban law in this
state and farmers labor troubles will
be intensified exactly in the ratio that
working hours are shorter in city than
in country They have their troubles
in this line at present, as they all know
to their sorrow. Now here's scheme
certain to multiply them inordinately.
Will they stand for it? 1t is incon-
ceivable. If we are to have eight hours
universally in town, they simply will
not be able to keep any boys on the
farm at all-nnless they. too, go to an
8-hour basis Are they willing to do
that; and can they? If they can, then
let the proposed regulation apply to
them also There can be no possible
justice or reason in imposing it on one
part of the community and not on all
others. But, wherever it applies, the
effects radiate over all the surrounding
region A city 8-hour law actually in
cludes farmers. There is no escape
from that certainty. Madison Demo-

Test Case to be Tried in Circuit Court

Considerable litigation following the
receiving of the present tobacco crop
has commenced to reach the courts.
Summons, complaint and answer of
damage action of Charles Jerander, a
Vernon county tobacco grower, against
E. M Haskins and Harold Schwartz,
co-partners doing business in Janetville
under the name of Haskins & Schwartz,
have been filed with Clerk of Court
Jesse Earle on change of venue from
the circuit court of Monroe county
The complaint alleges three and one
half acres of tobacco were contracted
for at 81 cents per pound in July, 1918,
and that efforts to collect $3.50. SO,
claimed to be due after payment of
$780, 80 upon delivery of the crop in
February, were without results.
The answer of the local firm through
Jeffris, Mouat, Oestreich, Avery and
Wood, their attorneys. admits the con-
tract price and the payment by check,
but alleges that the contract made in
July called for wrappers, binders and
filters tied in hands, stripped and bum
died separately and with damaged to-
bacco and trash excluded. The answer
alleges that after examination of the
tobacco on delivery at Cashton, Monroe
county, the tobacco was not sound and
in packing condition as required by the
contract and that the tobacco was not
stripped and bundled separately and
that the bundles contained damaged to-
bacco which was EXPRESSLY excluded
under the terms of the contract.
The answer further alleges that at
the time of delivery and the discovery
of conditions not conforming to the
contract that Haskins and Schwartz
entered into an agreement and COM
promised concerning the crop with the
plaintiff who agreed to accept the to-
bacco in it's present condition at 80
cents a pound. The tobacco was deliv-
cred to the local firm at this price the
answer says.
The crop was the harvest of little
more than three and one-half acres
At the thirty cents per pound price it
brought Jerander $1806.90. The defen-
dents attorneys allege in their answer
that the plaintiff received the defen-
dents check for this amount as full
payment and settlement for the crop.
The case will be tried at the jury
term of circuit court this fall.

Re A VOLUNTEER

The Victory Liberty Loan Commit
tee of the City of Edgerton and the
Towns of Fulton and Porter, have ex-
tended the time in which volunteer
subscriptions to the Victory Liberty
Loan may be made, until Saturday,
May 3rd. This is done in order to
give every prospective Liberty Loan
buyer larger opportunity to be a
volunteer buyer and for the accomo-
dation of the Liberty Bond buying
public, both our banks will be open
Saturday evening, May 3rd.
1t is hoped by the Victory Loan
Committee that personal solicitation
on the part of bond statesmen, will be
unnecessary in this campaign as ev-
eryone knows the needs of our gov
eminent and the desirability of the
Victory Liberty Bond as an invest
ment, so that those who are able to
buy bonds, will feel it their patriotic
duty to invest in them without being
personally invited to do so, but those
persons, who for any reason failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity
to be volunteers in this important un-
dertaking, will be called upon in per-
son by the solicitor promptly, Monday
May 9Th and asked to finish the job.

THE Kansas City Star says of the
Victory loan: "There are two aspects
to the Victory loan. One is the prac-
tical, the other the patriotic. Both de-
serve consideration. The practical as
pect is that the war must be paid for.
If there were to be no loan there would
have to be increased taxes. The prac-
teal question put to every family is
whether it would rather make an in
vestment to be repaid by the govern
ment, or pay heavy taxes, which would
be simply an expense. A loan means
that the next generation is to help out
on the expenses of the war, from whose
benefits that generation will profit.
The Victory loan will simply put up to
the country to decide whether it pre-
fers to pay five billion dollars now, in
taxes, or to let the people who are to
come after pay their share of it. From
a purely practical, or selfish standpoint,
the loan is the one best bet Of the pres
ent generation of American taxpayers,
who include most American citizens. :"

Death of L. w Coon.

l.. w. Coon, proprietor of the cigar
stand in the building at 800 Broadway,
died last week after period of illness.
Mr.. Coon was we'll known in local re-
tail trade circles, having conducted the
stand for, nearly twenty years, during
which time he attained good follow
ing and one that stuck to him with a
consistency that proved that they real
lied that they were receiving at his
hands the best of service and the high
est class of mer chandise. Mr.. Coon
had scored his success largely through
the force of a pleasing personality,
which helped in making and holding
friends, and by reason of his adherence
to straightforward business methods
and his good judgment in selecting
the kind of goods calculated to appeal
to his trade. He had procured through
his untiring efforts and his splendid
service flourishing box trade, por-
ton of which came from outside of the
building in which he operated. Mr..
Coon is survived by widow.-N. Y.

Feeling themselves slipping and de-
string to keep their forces intact until
they can force through the radical
program of socialistic legislation, the
bosses Of the league at Bismarck,
must awaken indignation in the hearts
of their followers by springing some
thing that will work them up to the
"weIl stick" idea, so in order to do
this they have planned to issue a
statement that some member of their
legislature has been approached by a
member of the so-called big business
crowd to try and bride this righteous
and good law maker to vote against
some Of the pet measures now before
the legislature. This has awakened
indignation on the part of the min
ority and lively times have been in
vogue at Bismarck. This nonpartisan
league member refuses to divulge the
name of the man who is alleged to
have attempted bribing him. Why?
Because there is no such man and the
whole story is made out Of whole
cloth and is without foundation in
fact and is only a base fabrication to
work up members Of the league to
fever heat to keep them in line until
the league bosses can apply the lash
and compel these poor collar ridden,
automatic law makers to vote the
dictate Of the bosses. This legislator

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN

Two nonpartisan league senators,
Wexford and Mees who showed the in
dependence of thought for which The
Forum has been hoping and praying
the last few weeks, deserve the sim
cere thanks of the voters of the state.
They should be remembered as men
who are not afraid to do their duty
and act as their consciences dictate.
These two senators have gone
through strenuous ten days. They
have withstood the full force of the
leagues steam roller, and even risked
being classed as having been bought"
they announced firmly that they
would not "stand for" the emergency
clause, and no threats or promises
have suficed to change them.
With defeat for the emergency
clause staring them in the face, the
league machine Compromised" and
Governor Frazier was told to trot
around to the senate and promise to
call a referendum election on pc
tition of $4,000 voters. He trotted,
Of course, but these two senators and
not Governor Frazier are entitled to
the credit for securing the chance for
the voters to pass on the program. If
the two-thirds vote had been available
in the senate, the governor would
never have heard the "voice Of the
people," any more that he did when
the pills passed the house last week.
The Forum is prepared to carry
out its part Of the bargain. We
pledged ourselves to free and frank
discussion of the bills, permitting
both sides Of the case to be heard,
and called upon the nonpartisan
league newspapers to do the same and
to drop all rancor in the cause Of
clear thinking. The answer this
morning was. an editorial intimating
as far as they dared, that The Forum
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1919-02-20

had befriended him years ago" Such
sob stuff as that brands the story
false right from the start and shows
what desperate methods the league
bunch will adopt to try and divert
public opinion away from the real
issue while they rob the common peo-
pie by excessive taxation to fill the
pockets Of themselves and their
henchmen while this hullabaloo over
the alleged bribing is going on. It
is the veriest nonsense and rot. You
can bet your last doughnut that if
this righteous and honor thirsty soul
who is disappearing his district
up at Bismarck was telling the truth,
Mr.. Townley would wiring it out of his
shriveled up soul by applying the lash
until he did and don't you forget that.
They are not covering up any such
stunt as that you may be sure. Far
from it. P. 7. Barnum said "You can
fool lot Of the people part of the
time but you cannot fool these same
people all the time" or words to that
effect, and so it is in this case. The
people are getting too wise just now
to be fooled by this kind of camou-
hage.
