THE PRESENT CHRIST.
(Southern Progress }

As an artist expresses himself in
the picture that he paints, so God
unfolds Himself in all that He has
created. We see His wisdom in the
waving fields of wheat and in the
stately stalks of corn that stand as
sentinels, protecting mankind from
the onslaught of hunger. We see a
touch of his majesty when we view
the many phases of nature-the
mountains that tower abye us, the
valleys that sink to unmeasured
depths below our feet. We glimpse
the imperishablc glory of God as we
see the somnolcscent sun being tuck
ed under the covers of night, know
ing it is symbol of our lives, for
that which man calls death is but
the slumber of the soul before the
coming of the dawn. And as we look
'ipon these sights we ponder at the
power and grandeur of God, for we
realize that the works which we be-
behold are small when compared to
Inc thlnRs tnat are contained i'll the
countless worlds.
But Gods personal touch is found
in Christ Jesus, us He has revealed
through Him tho knowledge that l>e
as n Father who cares. After all, it
seems to me, it is not His majesty,
His wisdom nor His glory that draws
us to HINT is simply this: He
cares. So many men and women cheat
themselves out of happiness by not
pcrcciving that, in spite of the fears
and tears, lie still loves humanity.
There is no joy which He does not
feel, there is no sorrow that He does
not share, and strength should come
to all in believing this: lie is with
us, always, even unto tho end of the
world"

FARMERS WILL GIVE LIBERAL
SUPPORT TO PEERY.

Bristol, Va, Aug 23.-Reports,
personal interviews. letters, pledges
received at local Democratic head
quarters indicate strongly that the
farmers of the Ninth Virginia dis
trict-and they are leeion-will this
year give liberal support to the can
didacy of George c. Pccry, Demo
cratic nominee for Congress.
Many farmers in the district arc
openly dis3ustcd and hostile to the
Republican administration and deem
it ill advised to send back Republi-
cans to the national Congress. This
sentiment has gained great headway
IN the last month or so and is ex-
pected to bring much strength to
Peery. Moreover, many of the farm
crs of the district regard Mr.. Pccry
as one of their warmest friends and
they know they will have friend nj
court if he is elected.

THE STRIKE NOT SETTLED.

The New England textile strike. of
which the general public has heard
but little, has been adjusted, and the
factories re-opencd. The soft coal
strike seems to be, at least partially
settled. The railroad strike seems to
be still unsettled.
The wish has bee ngencrally ex-
pressed that, both sides-all sides
would hold out until the troubles
were finally settled, once for all. so
that there should be no future strikes.
But, the same causes which brought
on the present troubles still exist.
and vii bring on other strikes unless
ilnaily and permanently removed.
Greed, selfishness is at the bottom
OF it all. Will greed and selfishness
ever be eliminated? Yes. "When the

Turing August and September

during August and September OH
frequent cultivation, hoeing and hand
wedding to keep the soil mellow and
the beds free from grass and weeds
will be returned many times over in
the additional crops obtained next
Spring. The beds that are allowed
to grow up into weeds during Au-
gust and September are not likely
to yield good quality berry nor a
largo crop.
Careful attention should also be
given to the proper spacing of the
new runner plants. Experiments show,
according to the State College of
Agriculture at Trenton, N. j., that,
under average conditions, runner
plants should be not less than six
inches apart in the matted" row to
insure maximum yields of Grst-class
fruit. AS general rule, these ex-
periments showed that a matted row
made of limited number of strong
plants with wcll-dcveloped crowns
will be more productive. than a row
made up of large number of small,
weak plants.
A matted row from ~ to Id inches
wide has been found most satisfac-
tory by the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station The exact width,
Of course, depends upon the vigor of
the growth of the variety used, the
fertility of the soil and the distance
between the rows of parent plants.
When a matted row of the desired
width is established, all subsequent
runners and plants that develop
should be cut or pulled off in order.
that the plants already established
may have plenty of light, air and
moisture for proper development.

REFORM OF THE LAW FROM
WINTHIN.

The American Bar Association. in
convention assembled, has made
many recommendations, doubtless all
wise, looking towards judicial re-
form. Chief Justice Taft, r.hosc
worldwide reputation as a jurist SUI
fers not at all from his able cxposi-
ton of needed legal changes, has
outlined through this association to
the legal profession of the country,
the things which he believes should
he done to make our judicial system
better.
All of which is well, very we'll;
but perhaps not well enough. Did it
ever occur to Il awyer, do you sup
pose, to ask ayman flor his ideas
of judicial reform.
1t probably did not. The illegal
mind" can not think as the layman
thinks, and yet law is for the law
man, justice is for the layman. courts
are for the layman.
If you have II case of any sort il
is put on a docket. When it is reach
ed, you must he there to defend or
prosecute it. If they say tomorrow
ana you come tomorrow and bring
htty witnesses tomorrow, and the
court isn't ready for you, you wait.
The witnesses wait. If courts ran to
schedule and the schedule ran ont
once i'll a while, and the court did
nothing but hold its hands, more
money would be saved than under
the present rule, which is to keen the
court busy, though hundreds of wit
nesses, lawyers, complainants,, and
defendants wait around and lose
money.
If you are sued and any one
can sue you for anything, whether
you owe it or no t. y *you must de-
fend the suit. You must pay your
lawyers; lawyers have to live. If i,
costs you hundred, thousand, OF
fifty thousand dollars, you must pay
it. If you win the unjust suit, you
are told you have justice; but your
bank account doesn't show it.
What we need is not reform of
the law from within, so much as re.
form from without; what the law
needs is the layman's point of view
which is that speed and absence OF
expense are both parts of true JUS
tice; that no decision, no matter how
correct, is truly just if it has cost
much money and time to obtain.

WHITE COAL AND BLACK.
New York Times

WV" 1Oih
In the midst of tho anxieties over
getting coal out Of the ground and
getting it transported where it is
wanted, the thought of many turns
toward the mines of "white COAL"
They lie upon the surface of the
earth, are being continuously r.
plenishcd by the clouds, but are be-
ing used to less than 20 per cent. Of
their power capacity, the rest going
to waste. 1t is not that there Is not
an abundance of black coal for gene
rations to come. There are twenty
billion tons of anthracite and fifteen
hundred billion tons of bituminous
coal stored below the surface in the
United States alone 1t is not that we
arc obliged to be economical of the
black coal for our own sakes: but we
hope, as IN eminent geoloeist has
said, for future Of mankind on this
continent not to be rcckoned by thou
sands, but by tens of thousands or
hundreds of thousands of years. Our
responsibility to succeeding genera
lions demands that we reduce the
use of coal to "our absolute necessi-
ties, and therefore prolong it's life
TO the utmost"
1t is this responsibility, and not
alone economy, that suggests tho
fuller utilization of the power which
is deposited" in our streams-the
power of sixty million horses. White
coal cannot wholly supplant, but it
can nightly supplement, the blacn
coal, 80 large share of which is
consumed in haulage, 40 per cent. of
the total freight moved in the Init
cd States in 1921 being coal and coke
1t can extend power from great cen
tres OF control to industries TINT cnn-
not themselves come to the sources
OF .powcr-especially to the fields To
assist IN agriculture. 1t will conceiv-
ably become, rs Mr.. Welliver has so
alluringly pictured in the current
number of the Review of Reviews
the superpower which will end the
complete predominance of black coal
as the prime mover of industry.
In the ancient's vision of "resto-
ration" man went about with n
line OF flax in his hand and meas
uring reed, and wherever he went
and measured he caused the waters
TO run in dry places and deep rivers
10 course where they had been shall
low. lie was the prototype of tho
modern engineer, whose greatest ac-
movement, now that he has built
bridges and railroads and cities md
digged mines, will be to bring power
from Its sources, and especially ire
water sources, TO the myriad hands
OF industry-to open the mines Of
white coal, which, like the bush tina,
burned behind the mountain, will
give its flame to human use and vet
not be consumed.

Says That Pacific
Needs Montana Oil

The Ohio Oil company is starting
operations on scale SO extensive as
to indicate that the Standard Oil
company is prepared to Immediately
market the Montana crude, to meet
the contemplated gasoline shortage on
the Pacific coast, according to w. M.
Dunham, oil statistician, who visited
this part of Montana.
Durham says that unless the Paci-
fic coast gets more oil, rationing will
again be necessary, as two years ago,
when people We're allowed only five
gallons at a time. California fields
are not producing enough oil to care
for the growing consumption, especi-
ally in view of big tourist season,
he says. He foresees a gasoline fam
inc within comparatively few years,
unless new reservoirs of crude oil are
found.

Kevin on Sunshine Trair'

Lethbridge and Great Falls business
men at a conference in Lethbridge
July 5th effected an organization
known as the Alberta Montana High
way association, the object of which
will be to promote standard gravel
highway to be called the Sunshine
Trail" between Butte and Lethbridge.
While the scope of the program will
at the present be confined to this
stretch of road, the ultimate hope is
that trunk road will be linked up
through the efforts of the association
extending north and south from Ed
monton to Salt Lake City.
The new project will no doubt re-
ceive added impetus because the pro-
posed route is through the newest
and largest Montana oil field.

Illinois Pipe Line
Building in Field
Four Inch Line Being Put in to Tap
North End of Field; Taukage on
Track This Side of Sunburst.

The beginning of the construction
of a pipeline from the Great North
ern railroad at a site about one mile
south of Sunburst was noted by a
Courier reporter Thursday. Two car
loads of four inch pipe was being un-
loaded and more is on the road and
material for a 37,500-barrel tank is
being hauled to the site. The first
pipe line is to run east and connect
with the producer and other wells be-
ing drilled in that sector. The Ill
inois Pipeline Company is associated
with the Ohio Oil Co. and the pipe
line now being built follows the big
deal in acreage made by the Ohio
with the Stevenson interests after the
Sunburst Oil & Gas No. / we'll came
in.
An authority on the oil industry in
other fields, in commenting on the
early installation Of a pipeline here,
says:
at is a significant fact that the
Illinois Pipe Line company, virtually
part of the Ohio company, is pre-
pairing at once to build its pipe line,' y
he said. "It has been the policy of
this company never to build pipe lines
until the production is already there
and assured for marketing. The fact
that it is even now, with two wells in,
building this line is ample assurance
that the big companies are entering
this field with an unusual degree of
confidence"
