GAS PUMP CONTRACTS
| Up IN Supreme COURT
OIL Companies Defend Practsce Of
/ Installing AppasatuA With Re-
+ strictions, for Retailers.

Contracts under which rehnefs and
wholesalers Of gasoline install pumps
and tanks for retailers on the con.
dition that they are not to be used
. for handling the product OF oomps-
titors was under discussion Ia the
Supreme Court yesterday Ia four easss
brought BY tho Federal Trade COM
mission against the Sinclair Refining
Company. the Standard OIL Company
OF New Jersey. the Gulf Refining
Company and the Maloney Oh Manu-.
featuring Company.
These cases involved proceedipge
brought by the commission against
about thirty wholesalers and sought
tices prevailing throughout the
United States. The commission con.
tended that the contracts had the ef-
feet OF restricting competition be-
cause they deferred rehners from
seeking the trade of retailers using
apparatus installed by competitors.
Could Purchase Apparatus
The refiners and wholesalers as
serted that In most instances the re-
&ailers were set up in business by
fhem: that the retailers had the op-
lion of purchasing tanks and pumps;
that such apparatus could be pur.
chased by the retailers In the open
market, and that the contracts did
rot prohibit the dealers from INSTALL
ing the apparatus OF more than one
rcfincr. 1t was asserted also that
the business was devoid of all inter-
state commerce features because the
gasoline distributed had ceased to be
In interstate commerce and that
therefore it was not matter under
the control of the Federal Trade Com
mission.
The decisions of the lower courts
in all the cases were adverse to the
contentious of the Federal Trade
Commission.

and shoulders straightened it is ready for
acceptance. Sometime when driving in
back of another car on gravel road,
watch how the small pebbles cling to the
tire and are thrown backward and spread
evenly in the rut of the wheel, and this is
correct as well laid gravel road will not
rut or at least will not show where a car
was running on it, as the loose PEBBLES on
top will cover the track
Gravel roads are serviceable, clean ands
will hold their shape for some time, but to
the end they are merely foundation for
the road that will be some day laid upon
it, a concrete highway. But good solid
foundation is very necessary for that and
as a gravel road will in time become hard
and solid, it will necessarily along with
thoughts of repairs bring up the subject
of concrete. Wisconsin today holds,
think, the record for having some of the
finest if not the finest gravel roads in the
Middle States, and it is pleasure to drive
on. them with any vehicle, not considering
what value they have added to the land in
whose bounds they run.

Minute Sermon

St. Matthezv 1873. And Jesus cal
led a little child unto Him, and set
him in the midst of them, and said:
"Verily l say unto you, except ye be
concerted and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaVen."
I'M HE Great Teacher placed the
Grown of Immortality upon the
children of all nations by the words
spoken in the text, making their lives
the pattern after which ours should be
fashioned. How contrary this is to
our way of teaching We fashion the
child after the parent and so it is not
strange that the child grown up is in
deed "chip off the old block"-claim-
ing as its own, our vices and faults,
along with our virtues.
"Be converted The word changed"
is a synonym for Converted" so our
scripture would read: "Be changed and
become as little children" Like children
in faith, in purity, in affection and in
humility. The desire to be changed
is all that is necessary to obtain the
Transforming power. In the gospel of
St. John 1928, Jesus spoke these
words: whatsoever We shall ask the
Father in my name, He will give il
you" AS child let us ask our Father
for strength to walk the way of love
and service.

THE CHRISTIAN CHORUS

eTI. "a, ana JU WS VTy cause
adding on your part all diligence, in your
faith, supply VWtue, and in your airtue,
knoSvledge;: and in your kno4vledge, tenn
berance; and in your temperance, PATIENCE;
and in your patience, godliness; and in
your godliness, loVe of the brethren, and
in Jour love of the brethren, love."-H
Peter 1: 5, 81.
In the observance of Music week it is
well to place strong and positive emphasis
upon this greatest of soul arts. Religion
has given great stimulus and inspiration
to music, and the greatest oratorios, the
noblest hymns the most melodious tunes
have been created out of deep religious
experience. Through these as medium,
the faith, the hope, the love and the ex-
perience of noble souls have found ex-
preston and Strengthening. 1t will be
appropriate for us, therefore, to think
about the Christian Chorus.
In the Second Epistle of Peter, the first
chapter the fifth, sixth and seventh verses,
we have a remarkable description of the
Christian Chorus. The author, correctly
translated wrote the following: "Yea
and for this very cause adding on your
part all diligence, in your faith, chorus
virtue, and in your virtue, knowledge, and
III your knowledge, selfcontrol, and in your
selfcontrol, patience, and in your patience
godliness, and in your godiness, brothery
kindness, and in your brothery kindness,
love"
The text sets forth the truth that the
Christian life should be harmony. Every
true life is symphony in which there is
theme, expression, rhythm, movement and
harmony. We should avoid onesidedness,
for while some may excel in particular
talents and capacities, all should endeavor
for balanced, all around development of
the graces. For no life ever comes towards
mastery wherein there are serious defects
even though strong qualities are mani
tested. And it is significant that the Mas
ter and the Apostles always united their
teachings, and especially the Christ in his
unique character, the graces in an init
mate relationship.
The term used by the author of this text
is the exact word meaning to chorus, and
the author gives a perfect scale of eight
notes, in which the first, the foundation
capacity, is raised to the climatic capacity,
at the top of the octave.
Consider these notes which are to be
chorused in the life of the true Christian:
Faith, virtue, knowledge, selfcontrol, pa
tience, godliness, brotherly kindness and
love.
Faith, the prime fact of human life and
experience, for "we walk by faith" and
in all development of our nature, contact
with our world, communion with cur kind,
and expression of our life in service we
live by faith. Faith is not some unnatural
clement imported into our lives, but ma
tural faculty to be trained, taught and
trusted.
With faith we are to chorus virtue. BY
this term, we understand strength of per-
sonality, as manifested in courage, valor,
The mirror., 1923-01-25

vgor and initiative, so that faith strength
ems and has strength for its ally.
With virtue and faith, we are to chorus
knowledge. By this term we do not un-
derstand simply scientific scholastic know
ledge, but rather common sense, practical
wisdom. This truth, has a wonderful
statement in the book of Proverbs. That
sagacity which reveals sense and princi-
pies, true purpose and realization of the
real meaning of living.
With knowledge, virtue and faith we
are to chorus selfcontrol. Temperance was
the word used until we had limited the
meaning of the term For the term here
employed means selfmastery of appettes,
passions tongue, temper, and who may
expect a life of harmony where this is lack
ing?
With seIfcontrol, knowledge, virtue and
faith we are to chorus patience. Rare and
beautiful quality! To be able to hold on
to persist amidst dscouragements, to have
the far view, to keep sweet and sane when
everything seems to oppose, to realize that
call things come to them that wait" if they
learn to hustle while they wait" this is
the quality we may not dare to neglect.
With patience, selfcontrol, knowledge,
virtue and faith we are to chorus godli-
ness. God-likeness is the thought, and
nothing short of sense of that will suf-
fce Real piety based on principle, pur-
pose and promise, so that stability of be-
ing strong character, results. This is
necessity for the harmonious life.
With godlness, patience, selfcontrol and
knowledge, we are to chorus brotherly
love. Love of humans always accompanies
love of God. In fact, the Bible clearly
teaches that which we know by experience
to be true, that where we fail in human
contacts and relations, we evidence fail
ure in divine communion. Christ stressed
this truth, and certainly no person is able
to maintain proper and helpful relations
zviM human beings qvithout being motiVed
by love of folks. And no life in our social
environment can be harmonious without
love of the great brotherhood.
And so we come to the top note, love.
We are to chorus love with our brotherly
love, godliness, patience selfcontrol, know
ledge, virtue and faith. Love is the su-
preme law of life. Not cheap sentiment,
but the simtl sane, sympathetic, spiritual
and sure expression of all the noble quail
ties and elements of the life qvhich is true,
ture, humble and just
We need to learn this scale by heart,
and daily practise it, until our lives are a
living harmony, realized by our associates
and enabling us to radiate and voice
melody of divine truth in human exber-
icnce.--Rez, Waiter dustin Wagner in the
MINNEAPOLIS Journal.
