overcoming the World

Bishop OF Washington

liberal education or the advantages Of
a comfortable and sequestered life. The
demonstrations of failure that attend
such q course are conspicuous and man
fold. Repeatedly we have had fathers
and mothers In great distress OF mind
come to us to tell the tragic story Of the
miscarriage of a youth in their house,
hold, upon Whom had been lavished
every indulgence and every advantage
which blind love and devotion could
exhibit. What more could I have
done?" was the persistent query. Every
physical and material advantage had
been given with lavish and generous
hands. but like the youth who came to
Christ, lone thing was lacking No
consideration had been given to that
kind of moral and spiritual equipment
that fortifies and secures against mis-
fortune, disaster and defeat.
To overcome the world the world that
plays about each one of us, calls for
moral development grounded in deep
religious conviction: in fine, character
buttressed and sustained by a vital and
vitalizing faith. To the mind OF the
great Roman, Marcus Aurelius, system
of ethics was indispensable, and to this
end he gave to the world book OF
rules governing conduct that still stands
as n CIdSSlC Oh us wv hiohy
instances TODAY even such book as this
is ignored and nothing furnished in its
stead.
The Spartan mother who gave her SON
his shield as he went forth to battle
and admonished him, Come back with
1t or upon It," had low standard OF
lifes values. The American mother
who gave to her son as he went TO
France his Undiscovered New Tesla
ment, and admonished him to find III 1t
guidance and direction. furnished him
with that which would support and sus-
tain him in the stirring conflict with
evil forces and guarantee him against
misfortune. Repeatedly these youths
turned with singular devotion to the
white Comrade" and felt the immi-
hence of His presence, and the sustain
ing power of His Incompatible teach
ing.
II we could overcome the world, the
world of our passions and evil propen-
stiles, the world of seductive pleasures
and unwholesome associations. we must
have fellowship with Him who. on the
eve Of His crucihxion, said to His falter-
ing disciples, BE Of good cheer, have
overcome the world"

The Dog Problem Again.

An ordinance has been adopted by
the city of Mount Rainier Md, to curb
the nuisance of barking and bowling
dogs. The ordinance was passed after
petitions and verbal complaints had
been received by the council.
The ordinance. in addition to assess
ing a fine of five to fifteen dollars for
every prolonged bark or howl" pro-
vides that any owner who fails to pre-
vent his dog from bowling and who is
convicted three times because Of the
same dog may have the pet taken away
from him. to be killed or removed from
the town.
Dog lovers will approve such regtila-
lions, necessary not only for the peace
Of communities. especially at night, but
also for the welfare Of the dog. This
friend Of man is Of such an impetuous
temper, doing everything that he does
with such q will, that his friends must
assist him, else he might become q
general nuisance.
Especially In cities and suburbs,
where the nervous strain of living Is
considerable, is the dog likely to be re-
garded as q plain nuisance, owing to
those very qualities which have en-
deared him to mankind.
His habit Of making himself thorough
ly at home in. an entire neishborhood
lis disliked by the home owner who is
trying to raise shrubs and flowers.
His protective instincts, often mani
tested rather too noisily at night, cause
countless persons to dislike him.
Especially is the barking or bowling
dog a cause Of complaint. Mostly this

Whether or not he will advise war,

dicative of the mind Of this master

writer when he himself was directing
the Chinese campaign against the
foreigner. When asked whether China
would fight to rid herself OF foreign
control. Karakhan replied:
POSSIBLY. 1 might even add prob
ably. If the powers continue in their
imperialistic manner to ignore the real
rights of China: If they continue to
rule China with armed force, it Will
not be long before the Chinese also will
learn the art of armed force. In my
opinion the present is only the pro-
logue Of the battles of the future.
THE Chinese are able people. They
have already limited the capitalistic
powers to such extent that they pos
sess more armed troops than any other
country.
"On the other hand, the Chinese are
the most reasonable and law-abiding
people in the world. More than any
other factor they are ruled by COM
mon sense, and they will not fight if
they can get what they want without
fighting. At present. they most Ger
tainly and fervently want freedom from
the foreign yoke. The powers can lg-
more this only at their own risk"

This and That
By Charles f. TracetreH.

Can't. Boggs Of the Cat Marines led
his troops up the basement steps In
wild rush for the platter beneath the
kitchen sink.
The objective was dinner. This Is the
real aim of cat life, animal life, human
life. Disguise 1t as We may, grub" il
an enthralling thing.
Human beings. by permitting them
selves several meals day. by allowing
themselves to eat too much at each
meal. and By the consideration Of higher
ideals, have managed to take their
minds of it.
Yet the eagerness with which most
people 60 to dinner shows that one
of mankind's chief considerations u
something to eat.
Cats. not having minds in the human
sense, have no reason for concealing
their likes and dislikes. hence admit to
the wide world. by their actions, that
meal time is the best time Of all.
Capt. Boggs had waited for q long
time on the step inside Of the basement
door. his white nose plastered against 1t.
The mysterious creatures who lived
upstairs would come in their good time,
he knew, and he would hear their foot
steps.
Then would come the sounds of
voice. at which Capt. Boggs would emit
one of his piercing meows, much Ike
the sound of toy balloon.
The best sound Of all would follow.
It would be the noise made by the
doorknob as 1t turned.
Open swung the door-and up dashed
Capt. Boggs of the Cat Marines. closely
followed by his two sisters, Little Nip
per and Blondy Belle. and by his
mother, Mrs. Blackie.
Capt Boggs by reason Of having the
quickest eve. and the livelieSt dispose
ton. and the fastest working legs, ale
ways got through the door first.
That meant that the captain always
got the first bte Of meat. II there vas
any meat, or the first taste Of cream.
or the first mouthful Of vegetables.
Capt. Boggs did not conceal from any
one the fact that he hoped for meat.
Being but four months old, his share
of 1t had been small, but enough to
make him know that meat was what he
wanted.
Boggs would have told you, II he
could, that house cats are by nature
carniverous. Vegetables are all very
well, in their way. but cats prefer meat.
The strange thing is they like best
meat which by no means could they be

Beef.
Capt Boggs had a bowling acquaint-
ance with beefsteak through the means
of several small bits left over after
Jack Spratt, our old friend, had finished
his dinner.
It was the ambition of Boggs to secure
an entire plate fun of beef for himself.
but for the present he did not see how
he was ever TO secure 1t.
Even II the meat were to be forthcorn-
ing he would have to share It with his
mother. who could always eat, and with
his two sisters. who liked the forbid
den dish almost as much as he did.
ur-month-old kittens are not sup
posed to eat raw meat. A little cooked
meat, now and then, is permissible, but
the raw stuff is not so good.
Capt. Boggs led his family on the run
to the platter beneath the sink, but
Jack Spratt had licked 1t clean. Madly
Boggs shifted and sniffed-there was
plenty of smell, but no meat.
"Shucks," said Capt. Boggs to himself,

maybe will catch few pieces"

Farm Co.operatives
AS Old as Republic
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

When the Federal Farm Board en-
phasizes the cooperative organization
as the heart of plans by which 1t hopes
to benefit agriculture 1t is speaking Of
no intent either in age or size.
Agricultural co-operatives In this
country are as old as the republic itself
although the form has varied throuGf1-
ont the wears. The Philadelphia So
ciety for Promoting Agriculture. formed
in i785. has on It's ancient roster such
familiar names as George washington
and BENJAMIN Franklin. AS far back
as recorded history runs farmers OF
other lands have worked together IN
some degree.
Members of the Federal Farm Board,
organizing this week under the relief"
bill recently enacted by Congress, are
proceeding cautiously in order to lay a
firm foundation for their functions.
Loans when made will 60 to cooper
atives; those already organized. with an
established place in the economics OF
the country, naturally will be first to
try the new legislative experiment.
In the crop year 1929, the latest
period for which complete figures have
pean assembled by the Department OF
Agriculture, 10,195 cooperative market
ing HSSOCldLlOI1S vi ItlC OlAIOCd 0N0ICS
did business estimated at $2,171 600, 600,
while ! .205 others engaged in purchas-
ing had transactions totaling an esti-
mated s12S, 100000. About one-fourth
of the farm families of the Nation are
members Of co-operatives. These are
very acceptable figures. even In this day
of staggering aggregates.
The number of agricultural co-opera-
tive associations is deceptive II stated
without explanation, however. for many
of them function as units of declarations.
Both the centralized type of co-opera-
tive. which is the large organization
the federated type, which Is voluntary
grouping of independent units for con-
centrated bargaining, storage, and some
phases of administration, have had ups
and downs.
In the very nature Of things, however
the larger organizations, regardless OF
type, have been brought before the pub
lie eye to such an extent that the tend
ency has been toward more Of them.
Their influence upon the market Is
great. There are several of these large
ness in excess of $50, 900 900 each.
1t is the federated type of co-opera-
tives which is growing most rapidly. Its
existence Is likely to continue the larger
number of organizations reporting, for
the individual units do not lose their
identities by joining others in fedora
ton, through which they gain the adj
vantage of large scale bargaining and
reduced overhead. while retaining their
local and intimate touch.
The fact that more than 10000 aRri-
cultural co-operatives are on record In
the United States does not mean that

will not take the trouble 10 break their
pets Of 1t. Another very bad canine
habit is that of chasing automobiles.
These habits are easily broken. with a
little determination and perseverance
on the part of dog owner, but the un-
fortunate thing is that far too many
human beings are indifferent to both
the best welfare Of their dogs and Of
their neighbors.

Ever since the cabinet of President

hat. While displaying good taste in the
matter Of dress generally. the foreign
affairs premier was so careless as TO
his headgear that Mrs. Hayes frequently

having the subject constantly brought
to his attention he finally concluded to
get a new hat. He sent an order to
