Thou Shalt Not Covet,

Some one has said that covetousness
is the supreme sin of today. This is
no new truth, for covetousness has al.
ways been the supreme sin of every
age. Through the words of the proph.
PTS i'm Old Testament times, God put
the responsibility for rebuking this sin
on his servants who taught the people
and who led them in spiritual things.
In Isaiah's time, God said: For the
iniquities of his covetousness smote
him." Paul placed covetousness In
the same category as idolatry. The
great soul-destroying sins recorded
in the Word of God all had their root
in covetousness. Even Jesus warned
His hearers of its seductive influences
when He said: Take heed and be-
ware of covetousness."

Blaming the Steering Gear.

Reports of automobile accidents
are apt to state that the trouble was
due to the steering gear becoming
unmanagable. The frequency with
which this cause is alleged, leads
many people to get worried about
the steering apparatus on their cars.
They often take their machines TO
the garage to see if their mechan-
ism is all right.
A garage man to whom a car was
taken the other day, remarked tc
the owner, that the trouble in most
of these cases of accident, was no

In the majority of cases it is fas
driving and in some it is liquor. Tn

to go bad all at once.

Defeat Oelwein School Proposition.

The people of Oelwein voted on a
school bond proposition last week
and defeated it. The following is
taken from the Oelwein Iowan:
The people, have spoken and as
they spoke they also acted, with the
result that the proposition to issue
$4,000 bonds for the purchase of the
site just east of town for school use
was defeated decisively. Out of L.
l21 votes cast there were sos against
the bond issue, and only 266 in favor
of it. The mems votes and the wom-
ems votes were almost identical in
proportion. The men voted ii tc-
and 562 against the issue, while the
women cast 333 votes against and
IS for it.
The defeat came as distinct blow
10 the school board, who had brought
the question before the people in an
to take the first step toward
solving the congestion in the schools.
The board was certain that the bond
issue would be approved, and have
no other plan for relieving the stu
alton ready.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL.
DEBORAH High Won Three Out of
Four Games Last Week.

DEBORAH high school had a success
sful basket ball evening last Friday
night, winning three out of four
games played. The boys first team
were defeated at West Union by the
score of 81 to 16, but the girls first
team defeated the West Union girls
on the home floor by the score of
20 to s. The boys second team de-
feated Frankville on the home floor
in a one sided game by the score of
~ TO Z, while the high school girls
second team defeated the Frankville
girls by the score of 10 to Is.
The game at West Union was a
rather slow affair played on slip
perry floor which made fast basket
ball an impossibility. DEBORAH took
the lead at the start of the game and
maintained it until near the end of
the first half when the score was
tied at u all. In the second half,
however, the DEBORAH boys got a lit
tie overanXious to make baskets and
left their own basket unguarded
with the result that West Union Sc
cured a number of easy shots which
they made the most of. Algyer play
ed strong game for DEBORAH max
ing field goals and playing good
defensive game. Glascock was the
star for West Union throwing 8 out
of a possible IL free throws and
five field goals.
In the boys game against Frank
vile Ostrem and Handley starred for
DEBORAH, Ostrem chalking up s bask-
cts from the field and Handy Z.
Frankville put up a hard battle but
were lacking in team work and were
outclassed.
Both of the girls games were hard
fought games and interesting from
start to finish. The DEBORAH girls dis
played somewhat better teamwork
and their superior guarding prevent
ed their opponents from making
many points.

Peopling the World.

The present population OF the
world does not exceed 1,6O0, 900 600
With an even distribution of people
relatively to area and soil productive
ness, the planet on which we dwell
might support 100000, 900.
But the distribution is exceeding
ly uneven. In India and China there
are so many human beings that the
failing Of crops even slightly below
the normal for single season means
famine, bringing death to multitudes.
A prime cause of the age-long tur-
Imoil in Europe is overcrowding,
which makes frequent wars inevita-
bic.
There is plenty of room in Africa
and South America, when the con-
quest Of the tropics Cmainlv a.matter
of disease elimination) shall have
been accomplished. The latter CONT
nent-today relatively vacant terri
tory for the most part-especially in
vites population, because, save in the
far south, is is so bounteously
watered.
The United States might maintain
1000, 100000 inhabitants if it had
an adequate rainfall, but a deficiency
in that respect makes it impossible
for this country ever to support
more than l,OOO,OOO,OOO. Water is the
prime human requisite, all food pro-
duction depending upon it, and for
this treason the steady and fairly
rapid suread of deserts on every con-
tinent gives good cause for anxiety.
