He had a task that saddened him.
He was prophet to the people OF

Jeremiah is picturing for NJ
first the man who 10 cursed. the
man who IL most unhappy. the
man who 10 saddest Of all men.
whose end 10 destruction. And
then, in comparison to that man,
going contrary to the laws Of the

has said We should not emphasize
negative laws, we should just give
men something good to do.
blessed is the man who walks
not In the advice Of he who says:
Don't stand for principle. but fol-
low the easiest way; sidestep ev-
cry responsibility; do not take .
firm stand against any sin, but Just
allow it TO pass by. Such Is the
advice OF the wicked. That is what
it means to follow the counsel OF
the ungodly.
ANY man or woman who starts
out to follow the Lord and be faith
full wants to get away from the
ways of the wicked as soon as pos
sible: wants to turn about from
evil and go straight along a new
path-the way OF Righteousness
wants to get away from the old in
f1uence.
Dabbling In Questionable.
IF there is anything that will
deaden a Christians life. it is to
find one who is dabbling in the
things that are questionable. They
always deaden the spiritual life, be.
cause they are away from the
church, away from the influences
that are good. II you want to be
blessed, If you want to stand true
to your ideals and to all that If
noble, do not be found in the way
Of the sinners.

THE MOTOR TRUCK.

There is no longer monopoly of transport.
Road and river have to compete actively
with railway But the motor the first to break
the monopoly and remains everywhere as the great
revolutionary force.
Britain is just facing this problem. The rail-
ways, emerging from government control, find that
during the years Just passed motor transport has
reached the point where the road vehicle gets the
pick of the freight and not little of the passenger
traffic. The yearly loss to the railways through
this competition is put at 100000 tons
wherein is the advantage? Obviously in the
mobility of the motor vehicle. Choosing its traf-
fic its rates are frequently lower. But, not only
in freight rates has it the edge; 1t can transport
goods more quickly, and, what is vital to the ship
per, with fewer handling charges. Thus, even
where the rates equal even slightly lower
on the railways, the advantages of road-borne
freight are so compelling that the operators Of
motor vehicles have waiting list and pick
the loads they prefer to haul leaving the remainder
to the railways.
Clearly, each mode Of transport is essential
In long haulage and heavy bulk traffic the rail-
hauls the road vehicle is. at Its best. If each
develops its branch of enterprise both will prosper,
and each will act check the other to the
advantage of the public.
That the railways will make deterpainsg ef
fort to meet road transport goes for the saying
/ They will do this. probably by cheaper rates. by
'economy in operation. by reduction in terminal

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Wheat had
a downward slant most of today,
bearish aspects of economic condi-
tons receiving much notice. The
market closed unsettled, &c to
INC net lower, with December
$1.23A to $780, and May
$1.27%. Corn lost Nc to sc and
oats showed an equal cetback. In
provisions the outcome varied
from loo decline to $1.75 advance.
Liquidation by holders was in
evidence at the opening of wheat,
and with no aggressive support ap-
parent the majority of commission
houses leaned to the selling side.
A further drop in the value Of
German marks counted as a special
depressing influence, and so did
the domestic unemployment situa-
ton. and the possibility of railway
strike troubles. Subsequently,
however, prices hardened as a re-
suit of word that lower ocean
freight rates and higher foreign
exchange had brought about some
export buying estimated at 500, 900
bushels. On the other hand. con-
fidence faded somewhat in the last
half hour, an export concern be-
coming ar active seller, and being
followed by a number Of specula-
tors.
Corn and oats were weak in
sympathy with wheat. September
and December corn touched the
lowest prices yet this season.

LESS HASTE IN MARRIAGE,

Connecticut has been a state that catered es-
the reputation of being place whittier the love-
almost without appreciaby checking the speed of
the car. 1t was place, too, where they were not
even curious whether there were previous mar
riages undissolved. If the had the price and
the girl, he need not mention that he had
other wife at home For illustration read the An
drews-Tatnall case. This reputation brought much
business to the parsons and justices Of the state
1t source of easy money.
However, the legislators appear to have
cluded that II less haste manifest in getting
married the knot might be tied tighter and hold
longer. At least they have passed law requiring
that five days elapse between the application for
license and the issuing of the This, doubt
less, lis intended to give those contemplating mari-
mony time to reflect 1t will have the effect
necessarily, Of preventing couple from falling in
love, proposal and acceptance and getting married
all in afternoon. 1t at least some de-
liberation. a longer wait than is often the case.
Previously the loophole permitting man to have
two wives without being guilty of bigamy had
been partially closed.
These regulations should tend to make mar
rage in Connecticut bit more important than
inviting a girl to have ice soda. 1t
may rob parsons and justices of business and
may present discouraging outlook to some law
yers who specialize in divorce cases; otherwise II
should have a good effect. Marriage is not IL
summer afternoons picnic but serious matter.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
SENATOR BURsuM's VICTORY.
(From the Boston Transcript
President Harding and Senatnr RllrsI1 M


President Harding and Senator Bursum have
good cause to share a of satisfaction over
the result of New MeXicos special election for
United States Senator The majority by which New
Mexico republicans have endorsed the record Of
their junior senator directly and indirectly the pres
ident and his cabinet, is around 1000. This is
5000 more than the vote by which Mr.. Fall was
reelected to the senate two years ago; 1t is 1000
more than the republican governor received last
November; and 1t Is within 1000 of the vote cast
at the time for Harding and Coolidge. The
fact that Mr. Fall, who resigned the senatorship
to which Mr.. Bursum at first appointed and
has now been elected, was opposed to that APP
pointment and found 1t convenient to absent him
self from the state during Senator Bursums cam
paign appears to have had little weight against the
statewide popularity of hts in the senate
Fortunately for President Harding and Senator
Bursum the record Of the republican house of rep
resentatives cut little figure in the New Mexico
campaign. Senator Bursum in his automobile
visited every county In the state and in all his
speeches he called directly for a referendum upon
President Harding's administration and upon his
own record in the senate. The deep interest that
the New Mexico Senator has taken in legislation
for the relief Of our disabled veterans, and the
fact that 1t was only out of courtesy to the presi
dent that he refrained from voting for the ad-
justed compensation bill which he personally fav-
cred, not forgotten by the ex-service men in
New Mexico; they rallied to the support of Bur-
sum and were among his most effective
paigners.
Coming Immediately after the result of the
republican congressional primary in the sixth Mas
sachusetts, the special election in New Mexico
affords additional and heartening evidence that
the men who went to the colors in the great war
have forgotten their peace responsibilities
They are already going into politics and will soon
be shaping the fortunes of both the two great poll
teal partes-a fact that is very disconcerting to
the professional "pol." They can be certain that
Senator Bursum is glad they were so active in the
New Mexico campaign. Their activity enabled him
to make his victory most decisive.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND GREEDY
GUMP.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Once upon a time there was a
Greedy Gump. A Gump is funny
little boy animal, who always
wants to eat everything he sees.
There are no Greedy Gump girls
for girls are never SO hungry as
boys.
Now, this Greedy Gump, who
was boy, lived near the hollow
stump bungalow Of Uncle Wiggily,
the bunny gentleman. And many
and many day Mrs. Gump would
toddle over to where Mr.. Long
ears dwelt with Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzs, his muskrat lady house
keeper, and Mrs. Gump would say:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Greedy has
been at 1t again l just baked a
big pan of cookies. / set them
on the window sill to cool and
he ate them all up!"
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily.
Il wonder If you could help me
do anything to cure Greedy
Gump?" asked the mother Of the
boy animal.
We'll" spoke the bunny rabbit
slowly, I'D like to help you, for
being greedy Is most sad! Let me
think a bit, and perhaps, by to-
morrow or next day, l may have
a plan for making Greedy better"
II hope So" said Mrs. Gump.
Uncle Wiggily went walking in
the woods, trying to think of some
way for curing Greedy Gump.
IF I could give him a scare
such as the Woozie Wolf or Fuzzy
Fox sometimes gives me, that
might be a good way" thought
the bunny.
Just then he saw some little
hoptoad boys playing on green
messy place in the forest. The
little hoppers were tossing round,
brown things to one another.
What have you there?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Puff balls" was the answer.
Are they good to eat?" asked
Mr.. Longears.
They are If you want to get
your mouth full of dry, dusty pow
der" answered one Of the hop
toad boys. "See, Uncle Wiggily!"
The hopper broke open puff
ball. Out floated lot of dry,
powdery dust that made Uncle
Wiggily cough and sneeze.
"Oh, ho!" cried the bunny gem
tleman. IT think I know way to
cure Greedy Gump! Please give
me half a dozen puff balls"
So the hoptoad boys did, and
the bunny took the puffballs home
with him. II you have ever been
in the woods in autumn you must
have seen these puff balls. They
are really a sort Of plant, and the
