CHRISTIANITY Is
RELIGION OF LIFE,
DR. MCCLURE SAYS
Pastor of First Presbyterian
Church Delivers Impressive
Sunday Sermon.

IL ms sermon 10 the CONGREGATION
OF the First Presbyterian church
Sunday. Rev. Archibald Mcclure
spoke Of THE Overflowingness Of
Christianity" He told Of Chris. =
words meaning that He had come to
give overlooking life 10 the world
and spoke further Of the superlativs-
ness of Christianity.
The sermon in part.
Il am come that they may have
live, and may have il abundantly. 80
said Christ; and someone has trans
lated the words 10 read. Il am come
that they may have life and have it
overflowingly."
Christianity is the religion of al
overlooking life. II is a religion OF
suDerlatives. It speaks Of the un-
searchable riches OF Christ"-rich5s
superlative in their wonder. Il
speaks of eternal life"-a superb
tive kind Of life. than which we car
think Of nothing better. IL uses the
word 'is'-"the kingdom OF god +
within YOU; what a superlative ex-
| preston this is in comparison with
the terms may be" and "can be-
II is suEerlative thus in its express
sion of facts
Religion Overflows.
IT h is overlooking, superlative
quality OF the religion of Jesus has
ever been expressed in the realm Of
conduct. Christian conduct over
flows with an extra supply of good
ness-it gives not only the first mile
but also the second-it forgives not
only once but 10 the Overlooking
number of 20 times seven. 1t over
flows in goodness to those who do
well by us, as well as to those who
do Us evil
Christianity overflows in its no
rizon, going far beyond all the con-
fines OF earthly geography. It Is

IF Christianity makes so great de
mands on us, how can we ever have

/ answer TO this question we come 10
the secret Of Christianity. 1t over

the Old Testament tells US that God

that the grace and power and good

who strive to be Christians may
therefore go into every place of evil

SMUT CONTROL EASY
ON WEST SIDE
Treated Grain on West Side of State
Gives Complete Control

Growers of grain on the west side
of the Cascades need worry little
about smut for it can be completely
controlled by treating the oats of
wheat with formaldehyde or blue
stone This condition does not exist
on the east side, for while the treat
ed grain will help materially in the
control of the disease, it does not
do all
Recent demonstrations conducted
in various parts of the west side of
the state by George L. Zundell, ex-
tension plant disease specialist of
the State College, show that the
treated plots averaged less than one
per cent smut, while untreated plots
and neighboring fields gave as high
as 80 per cent smut.
Seed treatment demonstration
plots were established on a number
of farms in Thurston, Pierce and
Whatcom counties where the farmer
planted some grain without treating
the seed, and other plots where the
seed was treated. In all cases the
smut was controlled

VACATIONS

1t was wise man who asserted
that the average person can do more
work in II months than in -
months. His idea was that a vaca-
ton of one month every year will act
as mental and physical tonic which
Will enable the person taking it to
work harder and more efficiently
during the rest of the year
To get the best results from a va
cation there should be a complete
change of environment and Of occu-
patton. The jewellers inland should
go to the water and those who live
adjacent to the water should seek
the mountains or the inland pla-
teaus. The city residents who are
closely confined to their offices and
stores and factories should take all
the exercise they can get in the open
air, while the farmers and those who
toll in the open country should in
dulge in rest and quiet recreation.
routine of work is the big factor in
a beneficial vacation.
Most of the men folks can secure
this change by going on hunting.
fishing or camping trip. but how
about the women? They have to pre-
pare the meals. wash up the dishes
and mend the clothes Just as they
would at home, but with far less con-
yeniences. They get the benefit of a
change of environment, but not of
occupation. This fact has raised a
question which is being quite gen
orally discussed just at present.
Would 1t not be better for husbands
and wives to take separate vaca-
lions? Let the men and boys go on

PALOUSE Is EXCITED
OVER ROUTE OF ROAD
District Engineer Asserts That State
Will Not Pay Unreasonable
Prices for Right of Way

The matter of the route that the
state highway will take has been dis
cussed very frequently in Palouse
and numerous stories have been cir
culated pertaining to the possible
routing of the road. Some have
limited that certain officials would
decide the question in a manner that
would crafty personal spite or
avenge some personal indignity that
has been inflicted upon them.
Some of the more optimistic, how
ever, think that the logical route for
the road and the cheapest route is
directly through Palouse, and they
seem to have no fear concerning the
possibility of the road going around
this city.
Those who hold either of these
opinions, however, are absolutely
wrong, according to ]. w. Hamilton,
district engineer, who was in Palouse
Wednesday. Mr.. Hamilton, when in
terviewed, said THE state does not
intend to be held up by claims for
damages for a right of way in the
future as it has been in the past. We
have, however, several routes in
mind and if attempts are made to
hold the state up for a right of way
over one route we will swing to an
other route We have the interests
of the state in mind when routing a
highway and we do not look out for
the particular interests of any town
or individual in building roads and
the roads of the state are not routed
to benefit any individual interests.
However" said Mr. Hamilton, lit
would not be advisable for your city
to make any purchase of land for
right of way until it is decided where
the road viii run, as was the case at
Garfield. We expect to make vari-
Gus surveys around Palouse Then
the route that is best will be recon-
mended"
Mr. Hamilton was very reticent,
but left the impression that Palouse
would be treated fairly by the high
way department and that the inter
ests of the citizens of Palouse would
be a factor in fixing the route for the
highway, but curves, grades and ex-
penses would come in also for con-
sideration. The travelling public
would also receive its share of con-
observation-disclosures Republic.

from which they derive great bene-
fit, and let the women and girls go
to some resort, where they can have
a complete rest from house work and
indulge in the social recreations
which they enjoy? A strong argu-
ment can be presented in favor of
the separate vacations, for the all
important thing is to use these inter-
missions in the daily grind of work
in such way as to recouperate one
physical and mental powers to the
greatest possible extent Unless one
comes back from a vacation rested
and refreshed in mind and body, and
capable of doing better work than
before, the recess from toll has been
wasted

WISHBONE AND BACKBONE

The Palouse harvesting crew may
rightly be considered a sample of
American democracy, for no more
motley array of characters can be
found anywhere than in threshing
crew in the Palouse country The
butcher, the baker and candlestick
maker drops the working tools of his
profession at this season of the year
and HES himself to the harvest field.
In the typical harvest crew you
find the down and outer, you find the
high school and college student
buoyant with the hope of the future;
then there is the man who is Satur-
days child. He was born to work for
a living, he has settled into rut and
has no hope beyond securing the bare
necessities of life. The adventurer
also is here who momentarily has
been put down for the final count
but who is tackling life again with
stiff upper lip. He will recouperate
his fortunes enough to enable him to
get new hold on life
You find them all here, the young
the old, the halt the lame; some
whose vision of life is rosy, others
who have tasted the bitter dregs of
misfortune and disappointment and
have sunk to the depth of despond-
ency And no better study of human
nature is offered anywhere than the
+ assemblage of men and boys who go
out to garner in the years harvest.
Some will go out ready to turn the
world over, but about the third day
you see him again on the street. He
hasn't the sand to stand up to the
battle of life. Another will go out
and work all week and on Saturday
night draw his wages and appear
again on the job Monday morning
broke. This fellow has sand. but is
like the butterfly whom the ant ad-
monished to lay by store of food for
winter
Then there is the old down and
outer, sour, always grumbling, He is
disliked wherever he goes, he will
stand up to the job, but he is a misfit
and will never be successful.
Then, again, there is the cheerful
fellow, cool headed, reliable; he will
have all his wages coming when the
job is done. You can safely bet that
if he is old enough he has a lit
tie home somewhere. If he is a boy
he will be a successful man. He has
a wishbone and backbone, he has a
vision and the sand to pursue his
dreams. Some have wishbone and
/ have no backbone; others have back
/ bone but no wishbone. The first see
vision but lack the spirit and pluck
/ to sacrifice and save until they have
accomplished their goal. The other
has logged determination, but he has
no vision or no goal. He works hard
and spends his money for the sordid
things of life.
Most of us lack either a wishbone
or backbone. Some of US have our
wishbone where our backbone ought
to be. Few have both. 1t is a pretty
safe bet that the fellow who threshes
all season and comes out at the end
OF the season with every dollar that
he has earned has both wishbone and
! backbone, and has them installed in
their proper places.-Palouse Re

UNFAIR COMPETITION

The railroad situation is bad and
seems likely to become worse. The
Increase in freight and passenger
rates has not solved the difficulty,
because there has been a cores
ponding decrease in business.
One of the chief causes of this un-
satisfactory condition is the unfair
competition of the auto stages and
trucks. 1t is unfair, because the
railroads have to construct and main
tain their lines and pay taxes to help
build and maintain the public roads.
These highways are constructed and
kept up at the expense of the tax
payers, but are used by motor We
hicles in competition with the rail
roads. Manifestly no private manu-
facturer, who has to build and main
tain his plant, can compete with a
rival whose plant is provided and
maintained by the public.
Automobiles used solely for the
pleasure and convenience of their
owners have cut heavily into the
short haul passenger traffic of the
railroads. The auto stages and
trucks are now making a still deep
er cut in both the passenger and
freight traffic Obviously a decreas-
Ing volume of business necessitates
higher rates. and higher rates mean
still less business.
The argument for the auto stages
and trucks is that they give lower
rates and more convenient service
than the railroads The weakness of
this argument lies in the fact that
the saving in the short haul which
they give is offset by the increase in
the long haul made by the railroads
and by the rapid deterioration of the
highways over which the heavy
stages and trucks operate. The
people have to foot the bills resulting
both from higher railroad rates and
from the breaking down of the high
ways. What they save at the spigot
they more than lose at the bunghole
The ultimate solution of the prob
lem apparently will involve the adop-
ton of one of two alternatives. eth
er the license for the operation of
auto stages and trucks will be raised
N iY,t HfvhiC ha 40
age which they do to the roads or
the government will take over the
railroads, lower the freight rates and
make up any deficit out of general
taxation.
Some railroads have in past years
been guilty of many offenses against
the public. The paying of dividends
on watered stock and the fixing of
rates on the basis of all the traffic
will bear, have aroused the hostility
of the people. But the railroads are
a public necessity and the vital prob
lem at present is how to enable them
to reduce rates without operating at
a loss.
Protecting them against the unfair
competition of auto stages and auto
trucks, by charging the latter a
license commensurate with the dam
age they do to the roads would help
lot, and at the same time tighten
the burden placed upon the taxpay-
ers for the construction and main
tenance of highways.
