The Cure for Unrest
Frederick A. Hatch

Unrest is the word often spoken and written;
unrest meaning turmoil OF social opinions and
uncertainty of action. Such conditions are re-
tarding the best development of any life be it IN
dividual or collective
Behold the planets in the majesty of their
movements thru space, and yet as the Scriptures
say, they are hung nothing Nothing but
the infinite will of their Creator. And VIC must
understand that His will for men is of greater
concern To all heaven than Il will concerning
masses of things.
We are living in age needing experience
fluenccs making for unrest, is the evil 'heart of
unbelief." For man who says God lies has
an evil heart. Unbelief. lack of confidence in a
person, accounts for most of the uncertainty OF
financial and political life of the present. The
supreme requirement for men 10 receive the
will of God as the best will in the universe and
to commit themselves to il. So long rs VIC doubt,
VIC cripple God in His good offices in our behalf,
A belief which affects the head only, is not trust
and faith in the scripture sense.
The highest objects of trust arc those related
to getting His will done here on earth. And trust
in a person without service for them is no trust
at all The object of trust and confidence
makes an immense difference in the effect of our
faith on our living. Many of us clam to be
religious in purpose. but do we measure up to
His expectation and His need of personal,
throbbinc trust7 ''As tho Christian Gospel sees
mans case. the central tragedy lies here; that
God in Christ is willing to do so much more IN
and for and thru us than VIC have faith enough
to let him do

Time was, and not long ago, when
Pullman citizens, following a trip to
Colfax, were expected to return to
! this law abiding community in 4
more or less befuddled state of men
! tality. Everyone felt that that time
was past, however, until just recent
ly, when two of our leading citizens,
whose initials are Allen and Forrest,
returned from the county seat with
story that would do credit to the
widest days of pioneer history. They
claim that while returning from Col
fax Sunday night the machine
stalled and after backtracking by
foot several miles they discovered
the cause of their trouble. The bat
terry had dropped out of the car.
With the heavy battery between them
they returned to the stalled car and
replaced the heart" of the machine,
arriving at their humble domiciles in
the wee hours of the morning. 1t
is alleged that they got by with
the story at home, but personally,
while he have heard wierd stories
of Fords losing their vitals and con-
tinuing to ramble, we are at a loss
to understand how such an accident
could have occurred with a perfect
ly good machine and sober drivers.

old driveway could be made serv-
iceable by little work and the old
bridge across the creek could be re-
paired so as to be safe and useable.
Now comes the item OF the expense
of educating your children. Suppose
you had boy attending high school
in Pullman, who every day took in
to town younger sister who was
enrolled in the eighth grade, pre-
pairing to enter high school. Sup
pose your eldest son was studying
agriculture at the State College and
daughter was attending the same
institution and fitting herself to be-
come teacher. The thought steals
into your mind that by taking your
son and daughter out of college, TAX
ing your boy out of high school and
having your little girl attend the one
room school in your local district
you could not only save a lot of ex-
pense but also materially reduce your
bill for hired help. You look at your
wife and see a tear stealing down
her face as she remarks in a trem-
bling voice, Don't let's cut this
item, the children are getting along
SO nicely and the best heritage we
can leave them is a good education.
We have now cut down our budget
nearly 20 per cent and l will sell a
little more butter and save enough
somewhere else to make up the diff
ference, but whatever else we do.
dOn't let's handicap the future Cf
our boys and girls. They are our
most precious possession. All our
hopes are centered in them and their
training for life is the biggest thing
we have to plan"
Being a wise and loving father
you would reply: You are right
However much we skimp and save
we will not cut down on the expense
of schooling the children, except as
a last resort and the time for that
has not come yet, thank Sod"
The people of this state are one
big family and the members of the
present Legislature have been sent
tC Olympia to prepare the family bud
get for the next two years. TbpV
know that they must pare down the
running expenses of the state, but
it would be folly for them to make
horizontal cut in all appropriations,
as has been suggested. They can
make big cut in the items of lux
uries, such as paved highways and
new bridges; in the improvement pro-
gram. including new public build
ings; in the amount of help employed
to carry on the work of the common
wealth, without working any serious
injury to the family, but when it
comes to curtailing the educational
advantages now offered to the young
men and women, the boys and girls
of the state, or limiting the number
who can enjoy those advantages, they
should Stop. Look and Listen, for
the fathers and mothers among their
constituents will resent any cut in
the educational appropriations until
every other item in the budget has
been cut to the quick, because they
feel that any curtailment at the ex-
pense of the education of their chill
dren is not judicious economy.

JUDICIOUS ECONOMY

Suppose that YOU were a farmer
living near Pullman and suppose thai
some evening you and your wife
had been going over your family &C
counts and making plans for the
coming year. Suppose that you had
been hit by the slump in the price
of wheat to such an extent that your
receipts were not sufficient to meet
the family budget and to carry out
the improvements you had planned
Suppose that you had decided that ii
was necessary to curtail your ex-
penditures by % per cent and sug-
gested that the best way to do ii
would be to make a horizontal cut
in every item of expenditure, includ-
ing food, clothing, amusements, lux
uries, reading matter, help, improve
ments and the education of your
children.
And suppose your wife should
argue that such method of econo-
MIXING would be very foolish ami
that the sensible way would be to
go through the budget, item by item,
and make the saving where it would
least impair the family comfort and
welfare. After a little thought you
would agree that she was right.
First you would take up the item
of food and, being a man of common
sense and a kind husband and father,
you would decide that it would be
unwise to try to make any great say.

icacies might be cut out Of he daily

On clothing quite saving could
be made by each member of the
family by denying him or herself
some desired, but not necessary, new
garment.
On amusements the budget could
also be cut considerably without
serious detriment to the happiness
and wellbeing of any of your loved
ones,
On Injuries, including a new and

cent, could be made without requir.

Next comes help. BY a careful
arrangement of the farm work and

BILL TO. ENLARGE BOARD
TO ASSIST FARMERS
Would Extend the Functions of.
War Finance Cor
poration,

Enlargement of the functions and
governing board of the War Finance
Corporation is proposed in bill now
being prepared. according to infor-
nation reaching senators. as sub
stitute for the pending Norris bill to
create new farm products financing
corporation. Secretary Hoover of the
Department of Commerce, Secretary
Wallace of the Department of Agri-
culture. Chairman Meyer of the War
Finance Corporation. and Treasury
officials. it was said, prepared the
substitute bill, now before Secretary
Mellon for approval.
The new measure. it was reported,
would give the War Finance Cor
poration the power, proposed under
the Norris bill, to finance exports of
agricultural products and meet the
situation, without creating another
government corporation. 1t is pro-
posed. it was said. to add the sec
retaries Of Commerce and Agriculture
to the board in charge OF the War
Finance Corporation.
Senate leaders expected the bill to
be transmitted soon to the Senate.
In case the Senate should decide to
act on the Norris measure. 1t was
said that the new bill probably would
be presented through the House.
No addition to the present $5OO0O0.-
900 revolving fund of the War Finance
Corporation is contemplated, 1t was
said. this being deemed sufficient for
farm export financing as well as
commercial aid.

Old Age.

So, live that when your head

tired, you're fixed to throw your
tools away, and have the rest
desired, and let the young men
bale the hay, for which they
have been hired. Like many
other ancient men, l threw my
tools aside; and then | picked
them up again-1 can't be salts
fed with resting, rusting in my
den. while toilers round me
stride. But if l had to buckle
down in these, my wintry years,
to earn the shilling and the
crown, I'd earn the same in
tears, and on my brow a
dismal frown would reach
back to my ears. But l could
quit my job tonight, and ply my
harp no more, and live in indo-
lence, all right, on coin l saved
of yore: and knowing this, with
much delight, 1 do my daily
chore. There's nothing sadder,
l maintain, than old men max
ing tracks, by stark need driven,
through the rain, to toll with
aching backs, until they die be-
meath the strain, and in the
grave relax. l work by day,
burn midnight gas, and leave a
trail of smoke, but don't need
to put up grass, and SO the jobs
a joke; if l were forced to earn
the brass, how bitterly I'd
croak! Oh, could sit and chew

sire; but when for me the sum-
mons comes, III still be at my
