Lion. Share for Local Roads.


More than twenty-one million dol
lars was spent on county and town.
ship roads in Minnesota in 1924,
says the State Highway Depart
mentment. This sum was the ,arg-
est ever raised in a single year for
local road purposes, being more
than double the net income avail
able for State trunk highways.
This citation of figures should sill
ence those critics who sometimes
complain that Minnesota's good
roads program sacrifices the farm
er's local roads for the benefit of
the touristltraveled trunk highways.

Down in Arkansas, where a A.
cent gas tax is collected, SIS is the
minimum tax on motor vehicles.
This was cited by a good roads
friend who maintains it is out of
the question for Minnesota to think
of cutting auto license fees at this
time. That is the main source of
revenue for improving and main
tanning the trunk highways which
serve four-fifths of the traffic and
to reduce it is to take larger sums
out of eur cars.-Highway Bulletin.

Gain In Grain Values

Arkansas farmers realized $2,000,000
more on their corn, wheat and oats
this year than in 1923, according to an
official bulletin, which reports that the
national increase in grain values
amount to $550,0OO,, 900. Oats alone
were responsible for a gain of 1 IL
million, while wheat brought farmers
of this state an added quarter of a mil
lion over last year.
The IA million bushel increase i'm
the Arkansas wheat crop this year
brought the value up TO $1,000,000 as
compared with $75O,O0O of 1928 The
oat crop of this state this year is up
to million bushels as compared to 6
million the year before with the result
that farmers will have taken in mil
lion dollars on this crop as compared
with IL millions the year before.
The yield per acre on corn in Ar
kansas dropped to 1875 bushels per
acre as a result of unfavOrable wealth
er, and the loss to the farmer was q
cents as compared with II the yea
before. The wet days, on the othe
hand, were a great help to the whea
and oats production, the former risin
to u bushels per acre as compare,
with II the year before, and the lat
ter to 26.2 from % in 1913. The prof
Il per bushel of wheat this year was
). cents where loss of "a cents wa
r taken last year and a 13 cent profit il
/ oats for the 10 cent loss Of the preced
ing year.
The increased yield per acre Of small
grain and the increased price per bush
el on all grains has aided MATERIAL!
in restoring the farmer to a bette
financial basis, the report concludes
The higher grain prices have resulted
in higher live stock prices and this
has brought new vitality to agricul
ture.

Methodist Church Notes


We appreciate your support and CO.
operation throughout the passing year.
The New Year offers larger opportun-
ity to each one as it unfolds its clean
pages, urging each one to fill them
with unselfsh deeds in service to
others. Therefore, let's make this
New Year resolution: "To live more
for others and less for self"
The basic principle of christianity is
to love God with all our hearts, souls,
minds and strength, and our neighbors
as ourselves and Jesus urges that If
we would come into a fuller life, we
have to keep His commandments. Now
if we are to keep His commandments
we need to take His word more serious
| ly, then it will not be so easy for us,
without remOrse of conscience, to turn
away from the church and its inter
! ests and give our time and attentions
to things of less intrinsic value And
as Isaiah said to Israel, "Spend our
money for the things that satisfiieth
not when we should turn to the church
and receive an inspiration that was
sweeter than honey and more nourish-
ing than milk"
Now we may do great many good
things outside the church, but If
am to really Seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness in its
fullness, God has provided that l have
to give proper recognition to Jesus
Christ and His Church which is Gods
agency through which lie proposes to
bring in His kingdom, regardless Of
what the critics may say. 1t is the
body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Further, we need to be more sensi-
BILE Of personal responsibility, that each
one is a part of the community and the
church and as an individual contribute
our part to the success of the church
and community, realizing that as an
individual we are helping or hindering
we are either a dead weight or we are
helping to carry the load, and not only
having responsibilities as an integral
'but as factor in the mass, we owe a
debt to aid each other by cooperating
and supporting the general welfare OF
the community. The task is too big
for just a part of the people to per
form. II took every man in his place
breaking his pitcher, shining his light
and blowing his horn for Gideon tC
rOut the Midianites. So will it take
the loyalty and support Of all the Off
cials and members both in the church
and Sunday school to make the pro
gress commensurate with the demands
Of this new year To meet the de
mand il is laying upon the church and
Sunday school it will require the pas
J tor. officials and members each facing
their responsibility intelligently and
courageOusly, with determination
that will not submit to defeat. This
will mean each one sufficiently inter.
ested 70 prepare himself for his part
and place, not waiting for another tC

Schools in Logging Camps

Quicker than the sunflower followed white pioneers across
the great American desert the school teacher has logged his
tracks TO the widest haunts. Once it was the Irish master of
scant learning but indefatigable energy and vast faith in the
worthiness of his own purpose who set up the prairie sod house
or log cabin in she forest. But now it seems that a putting
freight engine supplies the energy.
Forests in the United States form the last profitable
frontiers, and consequently lumbermen are always clawing at
their outskirts. Lumbermen have children, who will need book.

A Plea for Capital

India, the land of lost gold, now makes a plea through the
Bengal chamber of commerce, for all of the outside capital that
can be poured into the country.
The entrance of foreign capital is not Objectionable, says
the chamber in its reply to a QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
government, and in the present stage of Indian industries is
essential. There was never a country, it continues, which needed
external capital more than does India today. The chamber
would encourage the entry of all forms of capital for produc-
tive industrial purposes.
European merchants say that it will be difficult for many
years to obtain sufficient internal capital for maintaining tho
development of Indian industries, and still more difficult to
replace external capital already invested in those industries.
This statement is made and this situation is brought to
light in face of recently published estimates that India has
more gold than any other nation of the world. Every year
millions of dollars worth of this precious metal, as we'll as
great quantities of silver and jewels, are imported into the
land of mystery. Every year there is a clamor for more. 1t
fades from sight of the business world, absolutely disappears
into the little hordes and the big hordes kept by Indian
peasants and princes.
Such heavy consumption of gold, coupled with the apparent
need of ready capital, is a potent illustration of the misap-
plication of wealth. India, one of the richest nations, is also
one Of the poorest. Though affluent in resources, it cannot
get ready money to carry on the necessary industries of its own
land and must beg OF foreign capitalists. Instead of mass.
ing the wealth and freely circulating it so that men of ability
can use it in forwarding the industrial schemes of the whole
people, each resident has preferred to sink his little accumu.
-lation into a private strong box, and try to feel rich in a land
of poverty.
