THE DOMINANT NOTE IN THE
GOHpEL,

Jesus laid down no rules for his
followers TO be governed by. He gave
: them great and abiding principles
by which their attitude toward God
and man should be made clear. The
one law OF the Kingdom Of God Is
Love. Jesus spoke and worked with
this as the central idea. Every mir
acie Of that he wrought was actuated
by love. II is said OF him when he
saw the multitudes HE was moved
with compassion" Their great need
drew his heart toward them, and this
compassion was expressed In deeds
He fed them" or healed their sick"
In was was no spirit OF enmity. He
never turned away a seeking penitent.
Even the worst types OF sinners were
graciously received and forgiven. The
woman brought to him By the phart-
sees, and who, according to the law.
should hive been put to death, was
told to go and sin no more. This
great law OF love was demonstrated
in every act Of his life and was car
ried to a glorious climax on the cross
when he prayed: Father forgive them
for they know not what they do"
But, let us not suppose that because
OF this spirit Jesus covered up, or ex-
cused their sins. He was not excus-
ing sin he was saving sinners. But to
the pharigees, who professed to be the
true followers OF God and wero only
such in outward forms, he uttered
some OF the most singing rebukes
that he found words to express. With
the scourge OF small cords In his hand
he drove tho hypocritical traders from
the Temple. Jesus was a lover OF mel
and a hater OF sin. He loves the sin
J ner while he hates the sin. He came
TO seek and to save that which wal
lost"
Now, after Jesus has taught hii
disciples this great principle OF tn
Kingdom they were going forth to 20
tablish, and demonstrate II In his owl
life. he sends them to make a like de
monstration In the world.
In his prayer as recorded In the lit
chapter Of John, he says, AS tho
hast sent me into the world. even 0
have / also sent them into the world.
This In the commission that tn
Church has received and must b
taught In word and act by every Chris
tian. II certainly follows that tn
true follower Of Jesus will love q
men. In the 18th chapter Of fr'
Corinthians Paul places loves a. q

FARMS in DEMAND

Real estate dealers in Miller report
a growing demand for farms to rent
in Hand county, and that they are
turning away renters nearly every day
because they have not the farms. The
same old condition obtains as hereto
fore noted, viz: There are plenty Of
vacant lands. single quarters, half sec-
tons or ever whole sections. with or
without cultivated land on them. but
no buildings. 1t is very likely that
land owners would realize more out
OF their property II they would place
thereon a moderate set OF buildings.

UNION MEMORIAL SERVICES

A union memorial service will be
held in the Baptist church Friday
afternoon beginning at 2 o'clock, in
honor of our late President Warren
G. Harding. Immediately after the
death arrangements were made for a
union Memorial service. At that
time it was suggested by DR.. Gillian
and others that as the president had
been a member of the Baptist church
the services should be held in the
Baptist church building. 1t was so
decided and the program has been so
planned as to include the general
public, regardless of political or
church affiliations. There will be
special music including solo by
Mrs. L. c.. Gillian and one or more
selections by the orchestra and solo
by Mrs. H. B. Weber. An address
will be made by a representative of
the mayors office. H. D. MacCosham,
one of our most active business men
and an honored veteran of the
Spanish-American war will also pay
tribute to the memory of President
and a number of others will
gin promptly at 2 o'clock.
Arrangements will be made so
that all may be comfortably seated.
Much should be made of this &C.
casion by the patriotic citizens of
Every home should be
represented

HOW ABOUT 1T GIRLS!

A good many girls and women
have been looking for employment
this summer, and one day when the
proprietor of fruit farm was talk
ing about the need of berry pickers
we asked why he did not give the
work to girls, there were so many of
them in need of employment.
Then this man of experience re-
piled that the girls are not salts,
factory at. such work-they won't do
right. They go down the rows, pick
ing. talking, tramping around, de-
stroying some berries and overlook
ing others, and it is hopeless task
trying to teach them in the amount
of time that a person can afford to
devote to'it. The way it worked out
was that the person in charge either
had to waste his own time beyond
reasonable limits training them, or
be rather severe and demand thoro,
careful work right from the start or
fire them as soon as they begin to
pass berries or step on them or waste
time talking to the others. Some
of them get peeved and quit and
others stay on until they are dis
missed.
When we asked what kind of folks
he found the most satisfactory, he
said they depended chiefly on mid
dle-aged women. They have learned
to be thoro and careful, keep their
mind on their work, be on the job at
the hour they are wanted, and not
neglect business engagements for
social affairs. II berry raiser has
ripe fruit ready to pick and has
orders for cases of it for shipment on
certain trains, he can't afford to de-
pend on folks who may go out to
some social event and let the berries
go till some other day.
With all the boys in the commun-
ity with time hanging on their
hands, he did not say that he had
ever had applications from them for
work or that he had ever had any
Of them make a trial.
While these conditions exist in the
community, it is not surprising that
men do not develop industries to
give employment to boys and girls.

CAUGHT BREAKING WINDOWS

Miss Lena officer is a school
teacher and Is buying a nice resi-
dence in the Dipple addition, paying
on the installment plan. Mr.. Younie
has been looking after it for her in
her absence, and doing what he
could to keep it rented. Mr.. Younie
reports that few days ago he went
to collect the months rent and
found the renter had gone, and there
were ten panes of glass broken, and
some stones in the house with the
shattered glass. He estimated that
it would cost SIS or $40 to replace
the glass already broken, some of
them being large panes.
Several boys who were seen break
ing the windows have been taken
into custody and will have their trial
before Probate Judge j. E. Good
One of the witnesses stated that she
talked to one of the boys about do
ing such damage, and he said, well,
l am going to take one more shot,"
and he threw stone thru one of the
large front windows. She will no
doubt be called to testify in the case.
Some of the men who own empty
houses have been Investigating and
find that a gang of boys has been
operating, stealing chickens and
roasting them over open fires kindled
within empty houses, and some that
have been burned down are supposed
to have gone in this way. Property
owners are taking steps to get in
formation as to which boys or per-
sons are doing the damage to build !
ings, with the intention of sending
them where they belong. All citi-
zens are requested to make observa-
tons and report names or descrip-
lions of offenders promptly by tele-
phone to the officers, preferably the
chief of police or the sheriff or the
city clerk. While one member of the
family follows the offenders, some
other member can be working on the
phone to get officers out in pursuit.
