When tired and weary from the con-
slant grind of the home, shop or office,
take a trip to Philadelphia and return
on the STEAMER FREDERICA.
There to enjoy the salt balmy invigor-
ating and lifegiving ozone Of the Bay,
and to view the wonderful and unexcel-
led scenic beauty of the shore lines of
the majestic Delaware, and observe the
humming industrial life as you pass
along the borderland Of the three most
important States in the Union, Della
ware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
A little time off for an occasional trip
on the water is always profitable as
well as soothing to the strained nerves.

these things? What can be done!
"Lead Us Not Into TEMPTATION"
1t shows how well Jesus knew life
when he put into the center of this
prayer the ever-present temptations
which men and women must meet.
That prayer, Lead us not into temp
tation, ought to mean two things
first, that we deliberately and ener-
getically avoid putting ourselves in
circumstances of temptation; and
second, that we take scrupulous care
that not even unconsciously do our
actions lead others into wrong do
ing. We commonly think of tempta-
ton as the gross temptations which
possibly do not appeal strongly to
many of us. But we cannot have a
real idea of temptation without
thinking of the whole character of
Jesus. Everything that would induce
us to drop to a lower level of life,
to an easy-gOing carelessness rather
than the constant effort which is re-
quired if we are to keep our lives
on high moral and ethical level, is
a temptation.
In regard to others, few of us ever
do such a thing as deliberately lead
anyone into temptation. We do it by
the more subtle method, by helping
to set standards and customs which
others follow because of the prestige
we give them. For instance, men Or
women who have never taken
drink of liquor in their lives and
would scorn to use it, may yet take
a careless and humorous attitude to-
ward the subject of drinking and
lead others to think that it is a mat

Better, read it for yourselves.
How many of you have seen a partridge. 1t is a bird
about the size of a half grown hen, and lives in the woods
The way it calls to its mate is to sit on a log and drum with
its wings. 1t Is surprising what a loud noise the bird can maxi; I
it can be heard quite a distance off.
When winter comes and the snow becomes deep and the
winds whistle through the forest, the partridge has a novel

so hard that the bird cannot break through and so smothers to
death. One of the characters in the story l mentioned was I

So you see how the upbuilding
and prosperity Of the United States
are influenced by tourists, and how
many communities are partially de-
pendent on national parks for their
visitors. The really great value of
tourist travel, however, does not lie
entirely in the money that visitors
spend. The information they gain re-
garding the agricultural, commercial,
mining, and industrial opportunities of
the west is invaluable. The possibili-

GREATEST ACREAGE IN HISTORY

The acreage of crops harvested in
Colorado in 1923 was the greatest in
the history of the state. This was due
to an exceptionally favorable season,
which made it possible for growers to
harvest at a profit practically the en-
tire acreage planted to all crops except
wheat. The acreage planted for the
1923 harvest was smaller than that of
the preceding year and was materially
reduced by the heavy abandonment of
winter wheat on account of dry wealth
er. Much of the abandoned wheat
land, however, was planted to other
crops in the spring, chiefly corn and
sorghums.
Reports of county assessors to the
State Immigration department showed
a decrease of about per cent in acre
age under cultivation in 1923. The
actual decrease in acreage planted was
not quite so large as that, however,
for assessors were requested to disre-

and abandoned before the assessment
was made last spring. Most of this
acreage was devoted to other crops,
and was therefore included in the
enumeration, but some of it was not
cropped and was therefore not regard
ed as under cultivation last season.
Usually a very considerable acreage
of crops planted in Colorado is not
harvested on account of crop failure,
due chiefly to unfavorable weather.
In 1923 there was no crop failure in
any part of the state except the fail
ure of wheat, either as result Of rust
or because of the drought of the fall of
1929 and the succeeding winter. Most
of the winter wheat abandoned on ac-
count of the drought was replaced by
other crops, but the winter and spring
wheat abandoned on account of rust
