oKLAHoMA's PROGREssVENEss.

An agricultural agent in recent

coo worth Of tomatoes. 1000 600 pounds
Of canned beans 20 100000 pounds Of
butter and 1000 600 pounds of cheese.
The same man asserted that Texas
has l27,Cp0 farms without hogs,

THE MERCHANTS PROBLEMS,

The merchants of the country have
problems to solve that are greater
than the problems Of the manufac-
turer. The manufacturer is not
making goods that he does not have
sold in advance or that he knows
there will be a demand for and he
can play on the safe side Many
mills are shut down and will remain
that way for months to come and
cnly such goods will be made that
can be sold.
But the merchant cannot close
down If he does he loses his trade,
he gets out Of touch with the pub
lie and he must stay in business.
In order TO stay in business he
must use the greatest care in pur-
chasing. The merchant who looks
hest after his customers is the one
who will stay in business and the
only accommodation he has for his
customers is to get to them goods
at the lowest prices possible This
requires purchases in small guam
titles so that as goods decline the
merchant will not own his stock al
& higher price than it is worth.
He must advertise in order TO maze
quick turnovers and TO stock each
time at lower prices on all classes
oi goods that are on the decline.
The live merchant is carrying just
the size of stock that meets the
reeds Of his customers. he is making
quick sales and he is keeping in
,lose touch with the markets and
on goods that are declining, he is
buying only as his business requires
them and in this way he is filling
his mission. he is giving his Gus
toners the advantage Of reductions
he is not holding goods over.

STATE ENGINEERS PEcT
LARGE SECTION OF IVY WAY
WILL BE COMPLETED AND
READY FOR USE LATE IN FALL.

There is every indication that the
Joiet-Ottawa federal aid road, known
as the ivy Trail,' will be ready for
travel by November /, according to
the announcement Of state highway
department officials.
Reports received from Engineer
Fleming's Office in the Clifton, state
that only two aud one.half miles Of
the road remain to be finished be.
tween Marseilles and Ottawa. Con.
tractors have gangs working night
and day to finish the road on schedul-
ed time.
The road between Joliet and Morris
has been completed but Is not ready
for travel. Dirt must remain on the
concrete surface for 80 days before
the state highway department Off
cials will open the road, From Nor
ris to Marseiles the same condition
exists so that gap between Mar

tion to the gravel pits and the easy
manner for transporting cement and
other building materials needed has
been a big aid to the contractors.

The Lord is the strength Of my

The Lord is the strength Of my
life,
or whom shall be afraid?
Psalm Oil, "He that dwelleth 10
the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow OF the
Almighty"
'rhe twentyseventh psalm Is an
exultant song OF triumph. II Is a
battle hymn. 1t Is the shout OF a
man who has cultivated an invincible
faith The writer has banished fear
from his life. He looks out upon life
with hope and with confidence. For
g knows that In the background of
his life there IL a reserve power that
cannot be exhausted. His religious
faith has led him to discover good
ness, beauty, truth. He Is confident
that in the long run these ideals can
never be defeated His religious faith
has brought him into companionship
with the infinite God as his comrade
on the battlefield, and he is confident
that the soul that has grip upon the
Infinite has grip upon eternity.
But the faith Of this man is not a
foolish faith. He has looked all the
facts of life squarely in the face.
He is conscious Of all the dangers
that surround him. He knows that In
this world he must meet temptation,
doubt, pain, sorrow and death. Yet
in the midst Of doubt and times of
darkness the Lord Is his light. When
| his enemies seek to drag his ideals in
the dust, the Lord is his strength.
Though a host shall encamp about
him, he will not fear.
This man has cultivated an inner
| spiritual life that no outward circum-
stance can touch. He has cultivated
an inner reserve of spiritual power
that makes his soul unconquerable.
There is such a thing as physical
reserve power, which enables a man
to face the impossible. There are ex.
traordinary circumstances that de.
man all of our reserve strength.
When man calls up all of his pow.
ers of will and mind, when he sum-
mons all the vitality of his blood, all
the strength Of muscle and sinew, all
J the energy in the hidden nerve GEN.
ters OF the body, all the firmness OF
his bones, when man by great pow
err of concentration releases all his re-
serve physical strength. he can some.
times do the impossible.
ITO dwell in the secret place OF
the Most High will not save us from
pain, sorrow, sickness or physical
death. We must meet all OF these
in our journey through life. Jesus
was often tired and weary We read
again and again that virtue went out
of Him. Jesus faced our human sor.
rows Jesus wept at the rgave Of
Lazarus. Jesus suffered physical
pain. His enemies forced Him to car
ry the cross until he became faint
under the burden. They thrust a
spear in His side and drove nails in
His hands. But Jesus marched to
His death like soldier because He
was borne up by an inner faith. For
Jesus knew that though they slew
His body, they could never kill His
spirit"
