Some Aspects of the
Farmers Problems

ton kept only few weeks or months
ahead Of consumption. and that only
by increasing the acreage of certain
staple crops at the cost Of reducing
that of others. We ought not to for,
get that lesson when we ponder on
the farmers problems. They are truly
common problems, and there should
be no attempt to deal with them as
II they were purely selfish demands
of clear-cut group, antagonlstic to
the rest of the community. Rather
should we consider agriculture in the
light of broad national policy. just
as we consider oil, coal, steel, dye
stuffs, and so forth, as sinews Of ma
tional strength. Our growing popula-
tion and higher standard of living
demand increasing food supplies, and
more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest.
With the disappearance Of free or
cheap fertile land, additional acreage
and increased yields can come only
from costly effort. This we need not
expect from an impoverished or un
happy rural population.
1t will not do to take a narrow view
Of the rural discomfort, or to appraise
It from the standpoint of yesterday.
This Is peculiarly an age Of flux and
change and new deals. Because a
thing always has been so no longer
means that II is righteous, or always
shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever
before, there Is widespread feeling
that all human relations can be i'm
proved by taking thought, and that 1t
Is not becoming for the reasoning ami
NAL to leave his destiny largely to
chance and natural incidence.
Prudent and orderly adjustment of
production and distribution in accord
ance with consumption is recognized
as wise management in every business
but that of farming. Yet, / venture
to say, there Is no other industry In
which it is so important to the pub
lic-to the city-dweller-tha produc-
ton should be sure, steady, and in |
creasing, and that distribution should |
be In proportion to the need. The un- |
farmers naturally act blind |
y and impulsively and, In conse-
luence, surfeit and dearth, accompa-
MED by dIsconcerting price-variations,
larass the consumer. One year pota-
.oes rot in the fields because of excess

The whole rural world Is In q fer.
ment of unrest, and there Is an un'
paralleled volume and Intensity Of de.
termined, If not angry, protest, and an
ominous swarming of occupational con-
ferences, interest groupings, political
movements and propaganda. Such a
turmoil cannot but arrest our atten-
ton. Indeed, it demands our careful
study and examination. It Is not like
ly that six million aloof and ruggedly
Independent men have come together
and banded themselves into active
unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so
forth, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conclu-
sively proves that, while there is much
overstatement Of grievances and mis-
conception of remedies, the farmers
are right in complaining of wrongs
long endured, and right In holding that
1t Is feasible to relieve their ills with
benefit to the rest of the community.
This being the case Of an industry
that contributes, in the raw material
form alone, about one-third Of the ma
tional annual wealth production and
is the means of livelihood of about 40
per cent Of the population, 1t Is OBJ
vious that the subject is one Of grave
concern. Not only do the farmers
make up one-half of the nation, but
the well-being of the other half de-
ponds upon them.
So long as we have nations, a wise
political economy will aim at large
degree of national self-suff1ciency and
self-containment. Rome fell when the
food supply was too far removed from
the belly. Like her, we shall destroy
our own agriculture and extend our
sources Of food dlstantly and precari-
ously, II we do not see to 1t that our
farmers are well and fairly paid for
their services. The farm gives the
nation men as well as food. Cities

from the country, but an Inn

Bible Study
WHAT is GOD?

There are church spires in every
town and village. Everywhere
houses of worship are dedicated to
the service Of God. And yet untold
numbers know little or nothing a.
bout that God. Those that are the
handiwork of the Alniig hty do not
know their Creator. By nature they
are aware of the existance of
Higher Being, but of His names
and qualities they are ignorant.
Masterminds have occupied them
selves with the question:: what is
God? Only to be more confused at
the end of their thoughts. Invaria-
bly, they return the verdict: God is
incomprehensible. Here again the
Bible offers the only trustworthy
definition. 1t describes God as we'll

of man.

forth, or ever Thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from
everlasting to everlasting, Thou art
God" FPS. 9O:12). Since God is
eternal, He is also immutable- un
changeable, always the same. While
earthly things constantly change
God remains what he is. The name
Jehovah signifies: II am that am"
1t expresses self existence and un-
changeableness. God says, I am the
Lord (Jehovah), | change not.
(Mal. 3:6). therefore also we sing:
Change and decoy in Jail around I
see O Thou that changest not abide
with me!
God is Omnipresent.
We mortal men can be present
only in one place at one and the
same time. God is present in all
places at the same time. He is far
and near. No one can hide himself
in secret place that God should
not see him. He fills heaven and
earth, (Jer. 23:23-24). David beau
tifully describes this quality of God
in these words: Whittier shall 1 go
from Thy Spirit, or whittier shall |
flee from Thy presence? If I ascend
up into heaven, Thou art there; if [
make my bed in hell, behold. Thou
art there. IF | take the wings of the
morning and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea. even there shall

hand shall hold me, FPS. 130:7-10).

13).

God is a Spirit.

To the woman of Samarla seated
at Jacobs we'll our Savior said God
is a Spirit, (John 4:24). What is a
spirit? Jesus gave this definition:
"A spirit hath not flesh and bones"
(Luke "a :39). This means, a spirit
has no body or bodily parts as we
have. When the Bible says that
God has hands, arms, eyes, ears, a
face. and the like, its language is
fgurative-(Ps. 44:3; Ps. 1910; Ps.
33 ~; it speaks after the manner
of men to make things plain to us.
Being a spirit, God is invisible, un-
seen. A French astronomer named
Laplace. swept the heavens with his
telescope, but could not find any
where God. He might just as well
have swept a kitchen with his broom
No man hath seen God at any time

When Moses asked to see Gods
glory, the Lord answered and said:
Thou can'st not see my face, for
there shall no man see me and live, |
lex. 33:18-20). God is a spirit, in |
visible Il Tim. 1:17).
God is Eternal.
God never had a beginning and
never will have an end. He always
was, always is, and always will be.

Answer-~You should either sell your
Consolidated Gas convertible Is, 1925,
before August ] or take advantage Of
the conversion feature on that date,
as the bond will lose approximately
20 points when the right of exchange
expires. The company has exercised
it's right under the terms Of the in
denture and called these bonds for
redemption September / at 1924, but
holders have the right to convert the
bonds into capital stock, par for par,
up to the last interest date before re-
mption-August J.. The capital stock
has recently been placed on an SO
annual dividend basis, the highest rate
paid since the 80~cent gas law became
effective. Whether you should take
advantage of the conversion privilege
or sell your bonds is matter Of per-
sonal opinion, but you should not fail
to take some action. If you decide to
sell, American Telephone & Telegraph
stock would be a suitable substitute.

not only q better current return but
also more distant maturity. City of

Gently for current return of little

able substitute. We cannot approve
of the same kind of switch in the case
of New York Railways ANS if your OBJ
iect is to obtain higher return. These
bonds already give you yield of more
than 6h per cent. We believe your
position would be strengthened by tax
ing bond like Public Service Of New
