When administrations change

How would you like an America
without trees? We're approaching
that condition rapidly. In the past
year the lumber industry chopped
down enough trees to make, 20
billion feet of lumber. Only a
fourth of this was replaced by
growth.
It's just matter of arithmetic
until forests, high up in the list OF
most valuable natural resources,
will disappear-Unless trees are
planted on a much larger scale
Government can help. But the
problem is morally up to the lumber
industry now destroying the for
.ests. A law with teeth might COM
pei them to plant at least one tree
for every ne felled by the AK.

Am now here in the city that 7. L.
Barnum, the great Snowman, made
famous years ago The Barnum Cir
Gus started from Bridgeport, Conn, a
small little caravan of few wagons
and horses, and toured the United
States. Meeting with success, the
circus came back to Bridgeport every
Fall, and Barnum invested the earn
ings from the circus in BRIDGEPORT real
estate, which grew valuable. The re-
suit, Barnum became the richest show
man in the world, and in later years
he became Mayor of Bridgeport and
would not accept one cent of salary,
but requested it be given to the poor
and needy. Ringing Bros.-John and
Charley-bought the Barnum & Bailey
Circus from the James A. Bailey es-
tate and combined the Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Shows, making
them the largest and greatest circus
in the world, using over 100 double
length circus cars to transport the
great show from city to city. Messrs.

One MINUTE SERMON
Fight the Good Fight of Faith.
By R. ASHLEY CAKE
Sunshine Haven. Absecon, N. ].

1st Tim. 6: H.
The battle is on, the conflict is rag
| ing. Many hearts are failing then
from fear. Others are becoming wea
ry in well doing and falling out by the
way. Satan, sly, insidious, yenomous
| is seeking to enter every christian
| home, not only to leave his slime
wherever he goes, but trying to take
| the backbone out of every good reso
| luton that christian men have made
Hence the nee1 of doubling our dill
gence and fighting the good fight of
faith. We are living in a new world
we are graphing with new problems,
we are fighting old evils in new forms,
Every christian man and woman needs
to be made a specialist. This makes
us peculiar people. Living Epistles
of God easily read by all men," No
man ever attains such exceptional
godliness or achieves exceptional use
fulness without being clothed with the
garments of righteousness, not his
own, but the righteousness of God ;
not until then does The Blessed Spirit
of God lift upon him the light of his
countenance and he is able to obey
the exhortation: do justly, love mer-
cy and walk humbly with God"
Flight the good Fight of Faith"
First, get the victory over your own
self.
LET others write of battles fought,
On bloody CHASTITY fields,
I'll write of him
Who fights against himself and wins.
Let no man think of himself more
highly than he ought to think. Who
ever exalts himself shall be abased.'
He that is abased shall be exalted"
IN honor prefer one another" Then
live not for self, but for others. Help
fight their battles, bear their burdens,
help them climb the hills of difficult
ties, go with them down in the valleys
of sore disappointments and bereave-
ments.
| recently said to my wife one early
morning. LET us make somebody hap
py to-day" We so agreed. l asked,
"Who shall it be?" Everybody we
meet" Big contract, indeed; but it is
simply wonderful what a glorious
piece of armour it Is to the christian
soldier 1t helps us to go from victory
to victory all day long.
| have read somewhere of Friend
of God, who was conducting a funeral
service of a member of his church,
and the wife of the departed told him
that in the thirty years of married life
she did not remember one morning
ever having passed without family
worship and that in all these years
she never heard prayer but had this
sentence in it: Lord, help us to make
somebody happy today.
| speak from experience when say
that this spirit to help and live for
others is the spirit that will help us to
Fight the Good Fight of Faith and en-
dure hardness as good soldiers in
Christ Jesus, and thereby lay hold on
eternal life.
Lord | do not ask for riches,
Nor for earthly fame do | pray,
Gladly will | toll and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.

DOTY-SHELLER
FIGHT TO BE
HERE TONIGHT

With fair weather shining down
on FL Centre today and little or no
wind, it looks as though the fight
fans would be allowed to sec the long
postponed Shelter Deity bout at last.
The exhibition will be at the Palace
Airdome tonight, where the curtain
raiser starts at $3.50 O'Clock.
Dotv and Shelter are after the
welterweight championship of Inn
perial Valley and are groomed for
a fast go tonight. Both men are a
little touchy as a result of the
frequent postponements and will
probably put an extra jolt or two
in their wallops.
Young Jackson and Ernie Farron,
Fred Anderson and Kid Buck are
on the schedule for the semi final
windups. There will be music by
the Imperial band. Jack King is
promoting the scraps. Kid Williams
is to referee.

LOCAL LETTUCE
MEN SCRAP In
HO TIE l. LOB B Y

A considerable commotion was re-
ported in lettuce circles this morn
ing and for some moments the mar
ket rose and fell in a state of tur-
moil. However a stabilized eondi-
iion was at last restored, without
undue damage resulting.
Il. T. Sawdey and Victor Gentle,
both well-know men. are said TO
have been the cause of the distur-
brnee which occurred in the lobby
OF q local hotel. Everyone present
declares that the first fight which
occurred was a good one, though
somewhat hard on the apparel of
the energetic combatants.
s'Neutrals were responsible for
the fact that the fight ended with
the two opponents being dragged
apart, thus spelling the spcrt from
the oniookers point of view. Nut
ual apologies and hand shake
were saia 10 square things up.
