BEN ROSS LECTURES

Ben Ross of Pocatello, State Sec
etary of the Farm Bureau FEEDER
tlon invaded Payette County last
Teek by Order of the Committee
nd delivered a series of lectures on
he Troubles of the Farmer and
he Remedy. He declared the rem
dy to be education, from which we
nay infer that the trouble, is ignor-
ance. He produced the figures to
)rove that the Farm Bureau had
aVed the farmers a mint OF money
out no one seemed to know what be-
anne of it.
He never did diYulge what Com
nittee ordeder him to come here.
but from the trend of his talk it must
laYe been some committee interested
n promoting the Farm Bureau. In
his connection, it is worth while to
lote that the Farm Bureau FEEDER
'tion was the only farm organize
ion represented at the Agricultural
Conference at Washington that stood
or the cutting down of the wages
If labor.
The Bureau may have been right,
out ifso, the Grange, Equity and
Union were wrong; for they all lined
Up Tor the preservation of the Amer
can standard of living. After Ross
had finished his argument for the
6ureau, which was a good one, he
turned, with evident relief. to what
he declared was the subject dear to
his heart, viz; diversified farming,
His slogan was the Cow, the mig.
and the hem. He did the cow and
the men full justice but sighted the
pig. He presented the facts and
figures to prove the profit in the
chicken and dairy business and /
viii undertake, on my ow response
olIlty, to guarantee that the pig will
show a profit under good manage
ment when prices are right; and
that is all you may expect of either
the cow or the hen or the goose or
the sheep or the horse or the orch
ard or the spuds or the lettuce or.
in fact, any other agricultural enter
prise. Lacking a remunerative price
Tor his products, the farmer will al
ways be down in the dumps. He
may build a "Chickery" after the
most approved and scientific plan
equip 1t with electric light and
steam heat and an alarm clock to
call the hens up to their duty at any
hour of the night, supply them with
trap nests and open an account with
each individual "Biddy" and if eggs
go down to five cents a dozen or
even to ten cents, and l have bought
thousands of dozens at that price
and sold them for less, he will find
every hen in the red, regardless of
orede, and l will say the cow has
not been invented that will show a
profit for beef at one and a quarter
cents a pound and butter at seven
cents pound, both of first quality.

lion but he needs teachers of a diff

There seems to be some ground for
believing that in the much desired
and altogether worthy effort made
in recent years toward unification
and better cooperation of the religi-
Gus forces in the church, the church
has suffered somewhat from an over
plus of zeal to secure big things. This
has been the characteristic of all de-
nominational activities as well as the
activities of all denominations. We
are, unquestionably, in the current
of a peculiar religious trend, Re
ligion, like society, is affected by
certain moods which set the fashion
OF the day. The church has always
believed in the efficacy of organized
life, but it has seldom given so
much attention to getting its organi-
cation linked up to practical SER
vice as in the past few years. More
recently its chief aim has been to-
ward the coordination of its forces
and more harmonious adjustment
of INSTRUMENTATION relations. All
OF these things are highly desirable,
but in their working out we seem to
have allowed our ORIGINATING abili-
ties to run largely into conventional
izing activities.
Two lines from a letter written by
a woman long out of reach of church
association, who on a visit attended
a church, tell a striking story:
Heard a semireligious address on
Paul at Athens-mostly Athens

When the Christian world returns
to reality in its theology, it will find
that our spiritual liberty is guaran-
teed in the consciousness of its
Prophet. 1t is only as we find him
that we understand what he taught.
His life is the true commentary on
his words. The gospel is not an alb
stract formula. 1t is a living ex-
perience. 1t is incarnate truth. 1t
is personality saturated with
consciousness of divine things. In
him we live and move and have our
being as Christians. When we say
IN the light of what he was that we
viii obey him and have no other
Master, we have swept into the
waste-basket of theology everything
which sensible men desire to get rid
OF in their demand for spiritual lib
erty. The culture and the cosmo-
politanism of the Christian world
must humble themselves enough to
understand that it is Christ's spirit
that gives life toa II his thoughts. It
Is the sweet fragrance of his char
acter, the tender glow of his human
sympathy, the divine pathos of his
yearning love, the splendid joy of his
great conservation, the perfect peace
of his fellowship with God, which
are the spiritual dynamic and pro-
pelling energy of his gospel. In him
the life is the truth and truth is life.

The election returns do not mean
that prohibition is discredited.
Liberalism versus reaction was
the real election verdict. The tariff
issue influenced far more voters in
New York than prohibition.
Few people honestly believe the
18th amendment ever will be re-
moved from the constitution. Con-
gress might modify the VOlstead en-
forcement act by raising the percent
age of alcohol. Volstead didn't in
vent the one-tenth of one percent
definition of intoxicating liquor; the
excise department did. Congress
must look out for that detail If it
changes the Volstead act.
Enlightened self-interest impelled
America into national prohibition.
Muddled brains don't pay, and alec
hol means muddled brains. None
Of us are strong or wise enough to
risk subtracting from our mental
totals by drinking.
Times Better, Safer.
Workingmen and employers are
more prosperous than they were be-
fore prohibition. Trains, trolleys
and automobiles are safer driven by
sober men. So are all businesses,
