RAIL WAY SITUATION IN IRELAND GRAVE
Workers Refuse to Move Trains Carrying War
 Material
By Associated Press

Dublin, July 14-The railway situation in Ireland was never so grave, from the governments viewpoint, as today, when the workers refused to move freight trains carrying any sort of war material and Sim Feiners Kidnapped five men who offered to move the trains after the others had declined.
 The policy of dismisslng recalcltrahl empolyes, which the Sim Feiners say IS directed by the government, is rapidly depicting the ranks of the railway work CTS and resulting i'll additional trafIic stoppages.
 At Clones, County Monaghan, five men who reported for work on munitions train were spirited away to an unknown destination in an automobile.
 Trains to the north of Ireland nave been running on time during the last three days, but even on these lines tnefe have been minor blockades just south ol the Ulster border.
 The practice of dropping off at sldlnS cars containing armed police and soldiers on the Great Northern railroad has tenn porarily ceased, owing to the report Una. any railroader attempting such tactics would be shot on the spot. The source of this report cannot be traced

GROWERS CONFER
 WITH BOARD ON
 FEDERAL CONTROL
Expect to Agree on Plan of Enforcing Restrictions to
 Prevent Spread of the Boil Worm

By Associated Pre-.

Washington, July 14.-Cotton growers representing half dozen states were here to attend today conference called by the federal horticultural board to dis cuss questions arising out of federal con- trol planting in the pink boil worm-in- fested areas of Texas and Louisiana.
 Both Texas and Louisiana have enacted new laws dealing with eradication of the pest. and it is said the action of these states may have some effect on several contiguous states in putting into effecl quarantine measures and establishing non-cotton zones.
 The conference, Chairman Marlett ol the board announced, is expected to de- veIop an agreement between the cotton states and the government on some uni form plan of enforcing both state ana federal restrictions on cotton planting 70 prevent the spread of the pest
 With the establishment of the federal ouarantine Mir. Marlett assured the cot ion men that any cotton that might be afterward moved from New Orleans, in- terstate commerce would be free Of the insect pest.
 ''It seems to me-" he said, that it can be taken for granted that cotton that then goes out of New Orleans in inter- state commerce is all right.
 In this connection, he added, that the regulations under the quarantine oroef might compel separate storage for cotton grown in Texas and Louisiana when heid at the southern port.
 Ben F. Chapman and Harry ID. Wlisofs representing the Texas and Louisiana state agricultural departments, respec- lively. outlined new legislation enacted 10 isolate the boil worm, each declaring that 100 per cent insurance against spread or the pest was promised through actlvi- ties under the law. They said every in- fected and suspicious cotton district had already been isloated and that all efforts were being made to kill off the pest
 The federal quarantine order would ln- clude these districts

The cabin was cluttered in the
struggle Uriah Devon had had with
his wife. In despair Tony looked
around. The old clothes daddy had
brought home were strewn over the
cabin floor. Tonnibel heaped them

John on the Isle of Patmos. Reve-
Iation l.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
and to-day, yea and forever. Heb. 1874.
THE SCENE.
Bare cliffs. pock-marked by quarries,
rise above the rugged, water-gashed
coast of little rocky islet six by ten
miles in extent that scars the blue
waters some twenty miles west of Ephe-
sus. 1t is Patmos of checkered history
and splendid memory. Half way to the
summit of wind swept hill is a little
rocky cavern. the cave of st. John,
where the exiled Apostle lived during
the years when the place was a station
for convicts among whom he probably
toiled in getting out the marble that
should beautify Rome. Aged, worn,
thinly clad and stopped by work and
years, he must have been a pathetic
figure as he often climbed to the hills
crest to look longingly across the waves
to the home for which he hungered. 1t
was doubtless upon some such errand
that the scroll unrolled before his as
tonished face and the visions which he
writes came to him. 1t was the Lords
Day when he was thinking of that won
derful resurrection from the dead for it
is very certain that John would have
kept that day holy and so impressive
was his character that whatever jailer
might be director of affairs he would be
granted the privilege of rest. Kindness
could not help kissing Loves Apostle.
And the Lords Day is meant to be for
all of US day of visions when things
unseen under the murk of the work
day world grow plain and hands that
have gripped US like letters suddenly
show their SCARED palms. 1t was
wonderful day for John. Messengers
had come from the churches he loved
bringing problems but bearing the I'M
expected tokens of their affection. He
knew we'll the bloody experiences thru
which they were passing for Antipas
had been slain. He had felt the blows
from the same power. What message
could he send to those fighters for the
faith? Upon that wind-swept hill he
got his answer. And whatever else we
may read in the lines there is always
the comforting assurance that God was
caring for His own thru fall the days;
seeing, knowing and providing place for
those who gave the last full measure of
devotion to the cause of Christ.
THE SENDER.
This book is the unyeiling of Jesus
Christ and it must be made clear who
He is. John is carrying a message but
who is the Author? He who was, is and
Is to come, the same yesterday, today
and forever, the eternal God is the send
er. What He was He is; what He Is
He will ever be. To know Him in any
age is eternal life in all ages. If there
was ever point however tiny where
He touched human life then He does it
now and will continue to do it. If He
made history anywhere then He is do
ing it in America today and will con-
tinue. John has no question about the
Author of grace and peace. He names
the Spirit next and then places Jesus
Christ level with God the Father AL
mighty. John was no Unitarian. For a
