SOMETHING JOB NEVER
DID.

Filled with pride. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown started ont for a drive III
their new motorcar. Mrs. Brown
was hoping the neighbors were
watching, but her husband was
too busy steering to hope about
anything.
Alack! Before they reached
the end of the road the car
stopped and stayed that way with
a muIe-like persistency. Mr..
Brown tried every lever and
handle in turn. Then he got
down from his seat and began to
investigate.
Presently he lay down and
crawled underneath the car until
only his number mines were left
visible. In a few moments the
car gave a sudden jolt and then
stopped, and a terrible flow Of
language, more forcible than po-
lite, became audible.

in Mortified tones. don't swear

U. s. NAVY RECRUITING
STATION.

New Iberia, La, Oct. %, 1920.
The Secretary Of the Navy, Hon
Josephus Daniels. announces that
he has directed special campaign
to be undertaken to fill up the re
naming vacancies in the ranks Of
the enlisted personnel of the
Navy, by oqering special induce
ments.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Navy is now recruiting more
men than ever before. except in
war time, the realization that the
Navy man in peace time is the
one who must be qualified to de-
fend the country in the first line
of battle in war has resulted in
the Navy never consenting to low
er its high standard of its men.
The Secretary announces that
there are 1858 young men study
ing specialties in Navy schools.
From these men will be drawn the
skilled specialists of the Navy.
There are left q, 700 vacancies, and
these vacancies have been thrown
open to young men of the coun-
try and civil life. These schools
were formerly kept for previous
service men. A new policy has
also developed so that those who
like foreign travel will be given
the opportunities to see the world
The Navy schools are paying
special attention to physical de-
velopment, and the latest statistics
show an average pain Of ten (10)
lbs. in weight in four months. and
gratifying in creases in height and
chest development.
The Secretary states that an Of
fee has been established in Wash
ington to look after the men s
welfare, and special attention is
begging given this subject by the
pephrtment and The Commanders
in Chief.

GODS DESIGN.

OOO - OGolGN.
Through all this world below,
God is seen all around:
Search hills and vallies through,
there He's found.
The growing Of the corn, the lily
and the thorn
The pleasant and forIorn all de,
clare God is there
@ln the meadows dressed III green,
there He's seen.
See springs Of water rise. foun-
tains flow, rivers run
n" midst below the skis hides
the sun.
Then down the rain doth pour, the
ocean if doth roar
And lash against the short, all to
praise in their lays
That God that meier declines Ills
designs. f"
From the beginning God de
signed this planet should be the
home of His children. He made
it for zone as well as another" in
the language of Holy Writ. The
inequitous distribution of wealth
to-day principally as a result Of
land monopoly is the cause of high
prices, and these must continue to
Climb till we learn to be just and
righteous in our dealings with
!. our fellowmen. We must love
VGod supremely and our neighbor
as ourself. The man who tills the
soil, who makes two blades OF
grass grow where one grew before
is a much more worthy follower
of Christ than the one who goes
out to STAY his fellow man. He IS
also a better servant of humanity.
Why laud war and the war spirit,
and continue to make such huge
preparations for war as We are
making today. That is another
cause Of rising prices. So many
men are taken from field shop
and farm to become slayers in
stead of servers Of their fellow
men. We do not, cannot blame
them. 1t is all in our iniquitous
system Of unrighteousness. They
are victims of wrong idea of
what right is. They hear the sol
der Landed to the skies while the
worker in the humber walks of
life is a nobody, scarcely able to
earn a decent living. But for IL
justice in our land system there
would be no such thing as wars. |
God designed equity in the use of
this planet. The Bible is full of
scriptural texts showing this, but
many people have ceased to read
the Bible today. 1t is the injus
tice Of the world that has made
agnostics, desperadoes and Grim
inals of men. If the land were |
not blocked and barred and bolted |
away from the people as the
writer saw it in California we
woald not have to lock our doors
at night. Neither would there
any longer be a necessity for wars
or war preparation. Jesus taught
us to pray for the coming of His
kingdom when swords should be
beaten into plowshares and spears
into pruning hooks. Once the
land holders made us believe that
He here referred to home In the
skies but according to the teach
ings of most Of the churches,
these useful instruments will not
be in demand up there. They are
very much needed here on earth,
but we need free and ready ac-
cess to the earth in order to use
them profitably. Thank heaven
we are growing wiser! We know
that Christ meant we should build |
a heaven here. and God will is

to be done here on earth as 1t is
in heaven. And-we have Cod
Who ne 'er declines His Designs.
