Rock Heap For COugers

Congressman

Congressman Kahn of California ex-
pressed little patience with present

western law-maker would solve the
problem by putting 'em on the rock
pile.

a made-to- order department for mems
and women's suits is maintained.
Prices are wholesale prices plus the
wages paid clerks.
AT the meeting an official of the
quartermaster's department of the
army stated that azor- blades are re-
tailed by merchants for 81 dozen and
the quartemaster's commissary sells
them for 80 cents a dozen. Other in
stances of economy through co-opera

That this is actually an irreducible
minimum is urged by officers of the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployees, who cite such items IN the
budget as an allowance of a quart and
one-fourth of milk per day for three
little children; liz pairs of shoes per
year for the father of the family, and
one winter union suit each per year for
father and mother. Other items in
the budget are similarly meager as to
quantity.
The cost of the budget, DR. Meeker
states, is based upon the actual price
of food, clothing, rent and fuel in
Washington at the present time as as
certained by several agents of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics who made
separate shopping tours Of the city,

HIS KINGDOM CONFETTI

Christmas is the most universally celebrated birth
day in the world: the birthday of the Peasant-Car-
penter of Nazareth the Supreme Teacher OF the
who at the of 30 laid aside the tools of His trade
and went forth to proclaim the most revolutionary
program of history.
This program He called the KINGDOM OF GOD y
the full realization of which will break the power
the worlds oppressors both economic and religious.
For His fearless proclamation of His teaching He
was crucified-not by the Jewish people. but by a
little clique Of ecclesastics and oligarchs whose
power to exploit the people, His program would de-
stroy.
The fundamentals of His program are that all men
are brothers and should live together on basis of
mutual service and equality of material supply that
Mammon the God of Riches" is the chief enemy of
God and His Kingdom and must therefore, be over
thrown if the Kingdom of God is to come and that

but in bringing all the doings of humanity into
obedience to the law OF love- thus enabling humanity

To develop into the highest type Of spiritual beings
For about three centuries His followers obeyed
Him by living the communal life which He taught
but for sixteen centuries socalled Christian civ
ilization has rejected Him for dogmas and creeds
about Him, making thereby bloody track across
the ages. None Of the poverty and crimes OF
the historic past could have occurred il the world
had accepted His program.
Is it not about time for people who believe in Jesus
to demand that the world be run according to His
plainly indicated plan? Why postpone the Kingdom
that He taught? Haven't we had enough OF wars,
poverty, crime and unrequted toll? To oppose His
PLAN even negatively is generally done, is to
reject Him and to merit His rebuke: why call We
me Lord Lord and do not the things say"
| Here are few things which will result from the
practical carrying out of this program Of Jesus Of
Nazareth:
| There will be wars-(A real league Of ma
/ lions will be one good step in this direction.)
| 2-There will be no poverty-no children or aged
people suffering from hunger and cold in a land
where food and fuel abundant; no anxiety for
the future supply Of daily needs and no lack OF the
things necessary to enable all to live complete and
abundant lives without fear.
3tThere will be no burdensome labor for children
who on the contrary will have full opportunity for
complete development unto maturity. nor for old
people who having done their share Of the work of
the world, may be free to do their own pleasure In
peace and plenty.
Crime will be practically unknown-it will be
easier to do right and harder to do wrong. Crime
promotion will have ended.
5-No strikes or lockouts; no swollen fortunes, no
wage slaves paupers
/ 6-No special privileges for the few and depriva-
lions for the many.

Righteousness and justice will rule all human affairs

THE RaREsT TRAIT OF ALL

To love mankind regardless OF whether mankind
deserves loving not that is the rares trait OF ALL
and the most appealing.
You cannot simulate this sort Of impersonal affec-
ton; and the lack OF it has wrecked the plans Of
many great men and institutions that desired to be
of service in a racked world.
Compassion, sympathy, the dwelling in your little
house by the side Of the road and being friend to
man: one in generation may manage to do
that when he does the world worshps his for
ever.
AS we see it, that is mostly what Christmas is
about That is the fundamental thought OF Christ;
the greatest lover of the ages: that is the foundation
of the golden rule and all that it implies The doing
Of good not because it is duty or sacred obli-
cation, but because Of love for your fellows that
impels you to do everything you may to tighten
their load.
Suppose men of the world felt towards each other
the mother feels for her children would that not
bring heaven to earth in day?
Certainly it would
But there are some men nobody can love-" you
fsay?
Was there bad boy who not loved by
the mother who bore him?
There's your answer, and the nearer approach
to this principle OF and life the nearer will we
approach the millennium.
And no fussing with economic ordinances; no
messing with taxation; bandying OF words re-
garding this that, will In the slightest degree
take the place of this impartial affection for our
fellows
Most of will be Lincolns, Lees, but all
of at least deal justly with brother, and
refrain from hating him.
Or from giving him to hate us.
Doing that all of us, will take the world long
ways before another Christmas comes around.
And why not? It costs nothing it saves mental
worry. it brings happiness it makes co-workers
with the eternal gods in observing the meet meas
ures of final justice.
Why not, indeed?

VALUABLE FLORIDA MINES

recent article in the New York Sun says thai
Florida is not only great fruit growing state an6
winter playground but is mining state of the first
Importance, and Current Comment, in it's December
number, declares that this is a surprising statement
borne out. however. by the fact that Florida il
now producing about fxty-two per cent of thu
worlds supply of phosphate and eighty-two per cent
of the American supply"
That magazine goes on to relate the experience o
phosphate miners for the past two years, in which
time the federal government recognized the immense
Importance to the country Of keeping the mines open
and at work, even during wartime. 1t quotes from
the New York Sun the statement that million
Of tons of phosphate may be shipped from the state
every year.
The Miami Herald says:
Recognition of of Florida's greatest indus
tries by two such widely circulated and closely
read publications the New York Sun Cur
rent Comment indicates that at last the country
itself is giving the state full recognition to it's
position in the mining world
That at present million tons OF phosphate
be shipped from the state every year, is in
teresting to Miami. or ought to be. The princi-
pal phosphate fields lie the western part Of
the state well into what is known as South
Florida.
With a connecting railroad from that section
to Miami and with deep water here, the largest
portion Oh llat phosphate cOulQ De ana would De
shipped through this port. insuring great freight
returns to such steamship companies
would make this city on their return voyages
from the south west.
The railroad haul would be short one Per-
haps longer than into Tampa. but that would
be than compensated for by the fact that
voyage would not have to be made around the
lower part of the state and through the Florida
straits
1t is not at all presumptuous to assume that
million tons of phosphate and perhaps more,
could be expeditiously and economically hauled
through this city. every year, if the contem-
plated railroad from the west side of the state
finished and the few feet of additional
water needed were secured.
These are all possibilities and ought to
be urged and pushed in view of the revelations
concerning the phosphate industry Of the state.
Much of the phosphate Of the state comes from
West Florida the mines of Gadsden county being par
ticulary valuable. Phosphate is already shippet
through Pensacola, and the amount is steadily in
creasing and will continue in volume, with the com
ing of the new railroads into this territory.

rand bananas, which will be given out
tonight to the children and old folks
as well. Then we are your agents for
this work and you have treated us
fine.
