These lands are so we'll known and SO

they have been carefully surveyed and
mapped so that the cotton grower can
select his acreage with eIsctness. These
lands are far famed for the wonderful
fertility Of the soil. They produce rs
much as a bale or more to the, acre in
normal seasons snd they can be planted
to cotton year after year without dimin-

free of weevil infestation in greater de-
gree than any cotton lands anywhere in
America. Vast acreage is still entirely
free from infestation due to the fact that

HELP EACH OTHER
The Trade Unions Should Apply True
Christian Principles

Peoria, Ill.-"I think there is no
movement in the world today that ad-
vocates and eXemplifies the work of
the early Christians so much as does

the Peoria labor temple
"Take the Ten Commandments and
endeavor to make them apply today
and you have the philosophy of the
trade union movement. Thou shalt
not steal Thou shalt not kill.

Christian principles are the funda-
mentals of the trade union movement.

reading, talking, as the years passed by until he graduated in 1914 from Lelanu stanford university where he had gone in his senior year.
 But now he was no longer un- known and educational centers in England as well as America were seeking him out as lecturer.
 By 1921, 12 years had passed since he left his native India and his heart was hungry for the sight and sound of his own country. His story of this journey back to mod crn India, changeless yet so changed as told in My Brothers Face" is utterly enthraIling. His latest book "The Secret Listeners Of the East" is the result of his conversations with the head Of the Indian secret service whom he met on these wan derings.
 He had gone back to refresh his spirit in the agelong peace of India and found an India filled with the murmur of political discontent and it's beauty dimmed by the growth Of western industrialism. How can we bring about deeper understand ing between the souls of the east and west?" he asked the holy man at Benares. And from the lips of this holy man came an answer serene in it's simplicity. There are no east and west to quarrel: there are only spirit seekers and matter mongers, who can be united through compassion"
 It Is this message that Dhan Gopal Mukerji, still a young man, vital, keenly intelligent and filled with a great love for all mankind is spreading in prose that is poetry and in lectures that glow with an inner flame.

 At the age of 14 he was initiated into the priesthood, the vocation of his family. After the overlapping ceremony he took his begging bowl and staff to set forth on two- years pilgrimage. For what better Way is there to know people and how they live than to bag from them. Here is a quaintly pathetic picture of a 14-year-old boy stand ing forlornIy outside the temple not knowing which way to go. Then with the child's instinct strong with in him, he turned back to his mothers house, knowing there at least was one who would not refuse his first Give aims to the began"
 So for two years he begged his way from city to city, from village to village through the vast spaces of India, always searching the truth which lies beneath all things.
 But the priesthood itself did not satisfy him. He craved freedom from its routine to wander further in search of truth. The eastern world understands this craving and released him from his duties. He then took up his studies at the Uni yersity Of Calcutta. Now came an opportunity to go to Japan to study industrial machinery and western methods of production. From there his thoughts turned to America. Finally, as he tells 1t, T set forth again to meet this most tremendous change of all. having broken the ties of my country, my past and my caste.

A Biographical Sketch by Harriet
 Bond Skidmore
DIAN GOPAL MUKERJI

It Is dusk in a small village near Calcutta. Through the darkening lanes comes the lantern man bless ing each house as he passes. A lit tie boy creeps out to listen to the comforting sound of his words-"O Lord. may goodness wash away any malice that abides at these door steps"
 Vivid as the threads of a cash mere shawl is the story of Dhau Gopal Mukerji's boyhood, woven through a background of constant religious thought. Born Of Brah- min parentage-the priest caste of Iudia-to little Dhan as the young est son often fell the duty of tend ing the village temple. It is strange to our western minds to realize that when less than II years old he was already taking charge of its rituals performing the marriage cere- monies and even burning the dead.
 The deepest feeling of his boy hood, besides or perhaps one with lt4IElil NAo All1 SA NstL AffB tLAl4 reverence for his mother We read Of her In his Caste and Outcast' and we also are filled with an in- tense admiration for this woman Of the east who out of the depths of her own heart found an answer for each Of life's perplexities. Perhaps the keynote of his life may be found in her last request, Keep the doors of your mind open, so that not one of Gods truths will have to go away because the door is shut"
 The jungle was his next door neighbor. For the Mukerji home stood right at the edge of the forest. And in the evening after the lights were out the little boy used to sit by the open window gazing out al "the tremendous masses of dark trees with the emptiness gleaming around them" Later on, as part Of his education-''to learn the unity of life'-the holy men took him into the jungle at midnight to watch until dawn. "The animals are our brothers" said the holy man. "They want to talk to us; We must un-

 FINE PRINTS OF THE YEAR
 1925, edited by NJ. c. Salaman.
 It Is the collector, and not the
 artist who is responsible Tor the
 snobbish position of the etching. Here is a medium essentially re- stricted in it's scope and tediously eXacting in it's mechanics, which has, by virtue of Its limitations, de-
 veloped into CNlt; medium known as the "artist's art" despite the fact that it offers far more diff faculties and fewer advantages for
 genuine merit and aesthetic distinc- tion than the crowquill pen. The truly modern artists, in their revolt against the academic, the mori- bund and the mechanical evils of their profession, have practically
 abandoned the process of etching, leaving 1t to those who are ambiti-
 ous of social advancement. Books. 769-qSa5. LONDON AND LONDONERs IN

 The question which every intelli- gent inquirer into the future of Rus sIa under the soviet system must and does ask is: How is the system acting on the peasants and how are the peasants reacting to the sys- tom? MT. Hindus grew to maturity as a peasant in a village in central Russia. Emigrating to America at the age Of 19, he acquired thorough western education and western standard of civilized life without losing his sympathy for the people with whom he grew up. He was able to return to his native vil- lage and to speak on terms of in- timacy and friendship to men and women with whom he had played and gone to school and morked.

Since the author is the manager of literary agency, 1t Is not sur prising to find him studying the market" carefully. He presents plenty Of practical hints, most of them negative, and cannot fairly be accused of attempting to debase the standard Of writers for the mag azines. The types of magazine story are analysed accurately, with emphasis on those in constant de- mand. The chapters on preparing and selling the manuscript are practical and helpful.
