Again. moving thence, Jesus went
along by the Lake of Galilee; and
ascending the hill. He sat down there.
Soon great crowds came to Him,
bringing with them those who were
crippled in feet or hands, blind or
dumb, and many besides. and they
FASTENED to lay them at His feet. And
He cured them, so that the people

blind seeing; and they gave the glory
to the God of Israel.
A Crowd of more than 1000
People fed
But Jesus called His disciples to
Him and said,
My heart yearns over this mass OF
people, for it is now the third day that
they have been with me and they
have nothing to eat. 1 am unwillin g
| to send them away hungry, lest they
should faint on the road"
Where can We" asked the disciples,
get bread enough in this remote place
How many loaves have you?"
Jesus asked.
Seven" they said, land a few
small fish"
on the ground, and He took the seven
loaves and the fish, and after giving
thanks He broke them up and then
distributed them to the disciples, and
they to the people, And they all ate
portions that remained over they took
up-Seven full hampers. Those who
ate were 1000 adult men, without
reckoning women and children.
He then dismissed the people, went
on board the boat, and came into the
district of Magadan.
\ Sign from Heaven
Here the Pharisees and Sadduces
came to Him; and, to make trial of
Him. they asked Him to- show them
sign in the sky. He replied,
I'm the evening you say, 1t will be
fine weather, for the sky is red;' and
in the morning, 1t will be rough
weather today. for the sky is red and
murky.' You learn how to distinguish
the aspect of the heavens. but the
signs of the times you cannot. A
wicked and faithless generation are
eager for a sign: but none shall be
given to them except the sign of
Jonah"
And He left them and went away.
= W ACeAGL
When the disciples arrived at the
other side OF the Lake, they found
that they had forgotten to bring any
bread; and when Jesus said to them,
See to it: beware of the yeast of
the Pharisees and Sadduces," they
reasoned among themselves, saying,
1T is because we have not brought
any bread"
Jesus perceived this and said,
why are you reasoning among
yourselves, you men of little faith,
because you have no bread? Do you
not yet understand? nor even remem-
Der the 5000 and the five loaves, and
how many basketfuls you carried
away, nor the 1000 and the seven

carried away? How is 1t you do not
understand that it was not about bread
that I spoke to you? But beware of
the yeast Of the Pharisees and
SadduceS."
Then they perceived that He had
not warned them against bread-yeast,

WI en- they had quite crossed over

the men of the place, recognizing Him

So they brought all the sick to Him
and they entreated Him that they

Purity is an inward and spiritual
Thing
Then there came to Jesus a party
of Pharisees ~ and Scribes from
Jerusalem, who inquired,

washing their hands before meals?"

Then, when He had called the
people to Him, Jesus said,

what goes into a mans mouth that
defiles him; but it is what comes out
of his mouth-that defiles man."
Then His disciples came and said
to him,

into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
Here a Canaanitish woman of the
district came out and persistent%v cried
out,

But He answered her not a word.
Then the disciples interposed, and
begged Him, saying,

Topeka Fortunate in Landlords
This Season.
In Last 6 Months Rentals Have
Dropped 20 Per Cent.
CAN SELECT BETTER TENANTS
Quicker Pay Makes 1t Profit
able to Lower Rents.
Rents, Taxes, Materials Pre-
vent Further Cuts.

A recent Associated Press dispatch
from Chicago quoted NJ. S. Walsh, sec
rotary of the Tenants league OF that
city in the statement that rents would
come down in the Windy City by IS
per cent before the middle of October
of this year.
Chi is a little bit behind Topeka, ae-
cording to Ed F. Grote, OF the Kansas
Reserve Investment company, who IL
in charge of the rental OF houses ana
apartments in all parts of the city Of
Topeka.
Rents started to come down in To-
peka six months ago, and in that time
have reduced from 10 to 20 per cent
Grote says.
"Of course there are few rent
hogs who are keeping their rent up
because they can get them. But the
more profitable course to the owner
of the house is to rent at a reasonable
figure.
Better Tenants.
by reducing my rents have been
able to make my own selection OF
tenants from the very cream of the
renters I get my money regularly
and my apartments and houses are
never vacant. 1t is better for me to
get $40 a month for an apartment and
get it on time the year round, than 1t
is for me to get $50 a month for it
some months-and have it vacant or

time"
But Grote does not see any further
reduction of rents in sight for To-
peka. 1T would be impossible for me
to reduce them any further" he de-
clared.
Taxes and insurance are the same
as they have been in past years.
Building material for repairs, while 81
dropped for while a few months
ago, is away up again. I don't see
any chance OF any further reduction
for the present"
No House Speculation.
The building boom which Topeka
underwent a few months ago. wasn't
a factor in the reduction of rents.
Grote declared. The building which
went on during the boom" was a
building of homes by their owners.
and there was no part of it done by
spectators in housing, he believed.
The tenant population of Topeka
is as great as it ever was, and the
shortage of houses this fall when the
people begin to come here to place
their children children in school and
college will be just as great" Grote
declared.
But the wise landlords will keep
their rents down and make their own
choice of the tenants who apply,
rather than try to hog all the rent
they can. They will find 1t more salts
factory in the long run"

DRY FARMING IN
TEXASSUCCESSFUI,

DALLAS. Texas. - The first dry
farming in Texas is believed by older
residents here to have been attempted
successfully just west OF Dallas. In.
cidentally where IL was attempted has
been found to be land with valuable
deposits good for making cement. The
ground has never had the appearance
OF good farm land.
Development OF the land for farm
purposes was undertaken by a group
of French political refugees who
founded a colony Just west and north
OF what is now known as Oak Cliff
a part OF Dallas. The first dry farm
ing was by T.. Remond. who also
had ideas the land had other values,
including gold deposits and clays good
for pottery. Inexperience with con
ditions as encountered in the new col
ony. difficulties OF farming. and other
problems caused the colonists to grad
ually abandon their project, and many
moved into Dallas.
The French colony came TO Dallas
county in 1855. under the leadership
OF Victor Prosper Considerant. NJ
Cantegral, for whom Cantegral street
in Dallas is named was prominent
with Considerant.

Germans Defrauded With
Confederate Currency

BERLIN.--Another issue of United
States Confederate money, in 10 bills,
has been put on the market in Ger
many. and several prominent merch-
ants have been victimized to the ex
tent Of thousands of dollars. Scores
OF others have accepted the bad bills
in smaller amounts.
A few months ago the Confederate
money, suspiciously bright and clear
was passed quietly around to unsus
pecting shopkeepcrs, and to even q
few visiting Americans who displayed
carelessness in making change. Al
that time a warning was issued by
the banks and the newspapers advised
readers to use discretion.
The latest known victim is a mer-
chant who sold a bill Of goods for
5000 in cash and accepted the Con
federate currency. He appealed tC

and Trade In Berlin.

INTERNATIONAL" Is
LOSING POPULARITY

MOSCOW.-The "Internatlonale" is
fast becoming a long song in Russia
Nobody wants To sing II. II Is never
heard in the streets Of Moscow. or in
towns Of the provinces. When II is
played by order in public gatherings,
the crowds and audiences refuse to
join in the singing
This was illustrated at the Grand
Opera. recently, when Leon Trotzky
the war minister. appeared with some
friends In a box. The orchestra struck
up the tune OF the revolution and
but very few In the audience rose
out OF respect.
Lately Isadora Duncan. after q
public performance OF her dances
asked the audience to join her in sing.
ing the "lnternationale" This seemed
a signal for the audience to leave
Everybody began going out, as tn,
orchestra played and Miss Duncan
was left TO sing alone.
One Of the reasons for the lack OF
enthusiasm for the song is that II
has been sung too much. People arN
tired of IL. here. Just as British sol
dlcrs got tired OF "Tippcary."
