WINTERTIME

In telling the sparrows apart, says
an entertaining writer, you have only
to note If one chips; in that case 1t is
chipping sparrow. If you are look
ing for the planet Mars, in the Winter
sky. look for a red star. That may
not, of course, be Mars; there are a
few other stars that look red. But it
VIII be a good guess, and If you will
observe whether its position is different
in the sky every night at the same
time, you may soon learn to know the
planet that has been named for the
god of war.
Because Mars is very close to us,
comparatively speaking, it has long
exercised over our minds a peculiar
fascination, and some of the facts
revealed by the telescope have con-
tinued to foster our interest in our
neighbor. So great Is this interest
that some people are willing to pay
for radio messages to Mars, though
how we suppose that the Martians
understand English don't know.
The planet Venus, also near, Is en-.
veloped in dense clouds, and is probably
damp and steaming spot, possibly
even a jungle, possibly still forming Its

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Ministry Of Sorrow.

Text: 81 have replenished every sor-
rowful SOUL" jeremiah, 31:25.
Sorrow is a mystery, but 1t Is also a
ministry. Sorrow is strange thing, but
life would be strange without it. How
strange life would be If we had never
known the meaning Of tears and sorrow
and the love and sympathy that are
born of them.
We are told that the blue of heaven
does not seem so beautiful in rainless
lands as in lands where the atmosphere
is saturated with moisture. But for the
tears that often rain in our eyes we
things of life. There is a blue in
lifes sky which never seems so beauti-
full as when seen through mist Of
tears.
Sorrow gives an indefinable beauty to
the soul. It lights the face with a soft
radiance, and puts tone of sweetness
| and tenderness In the voice. What dc
you think Of her singing?" asked the
| trainer Of soprano vocalist. "She
sings superbly," was his friends reply;
'but If had to do with her, would
break her heart" Somehow it seems tc
require heart-breaking sorrow to bring
out the best in all of us. There are
flowers that give forth their sweetest
fragrance only when crushed. And 81
it seems to be of human life, that Il
must be crushed by the hand Of some
affection or sorrow before it yields it!
best and noblest.
We may not understand the mystery
Of sorrow, but we can and should accep
it as ministry. mo Christening fol
the present seemeth to be joyous, bu
grievous: nevertheless afterward il
yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteous
ness unto them which are exercised
thereby"

He stared at it, then beckoned to tn

"Look!" he said.
They crowded about him. Within
the bowl, as might have been revealed

Charles came in before Phyllis could

he replied to Mr.. Norman.
Tell Drake and Masters to keep a

say anything outside the house about it.
Mr.. Brainard knows who is responsible

Charles bowed; but he stared in
amazement around the group. Then he
went out.

oceans. The moon long ago lost all its
atmosphere and Is devoid of all life.
But Mars is in stage of planetary
evolution little like ours, though much
drier and with more rarehed atmos-
phere. We can see the caps OF snow
on its poles, and even mark the melting
back of these caps in Summer. II there
is snow, there must be water and water
vapor.
we are quite certain there is at
least some air; we know there Is
warmth, as well as rock and soil. Put
these elements together, and you may
well have life. Some people have even
thought they could see bands OF vege-
tation, and others have been able to
see canals" But these canals go up
each other. It is perfectly possible
that they are an optical illusion, just
as on earth we have In great deserts
optical illusions of lakes.
Most of us want to know. right
away, whether there are men on Mars,
and, If we cannot be sure Of that, or
if astronomers deem 1t unlikely, we lose
all interest in the planet. This always
seems to be superficial view OF Mars
and not one that shows an intelligent
interest. If you told me that you had q
beautiful garden and wished would
come and see it. and asked you II
you weren't going to invite a lot OF
guests to meet me there, you would
not only see that was too blind to
enjoy flowers, but you would take me
for a very egotistical, talky, ttresome
sort Of person.
The scenery of Mars, its atmosphere.
its SHOWS and winds and deserts, its
vegetation, if it has any, seem to be OF
| interest, whether there are men or not
We always have an egocentric desire
| to read stories about how Martians visit
our earth. What we really want to
do is to impress somebody who doesn't
know us well enough to see through us
to think how noble and interesting and
clever we are. If you really want to
know how we look to Mars, imagine us
as a large amethystine star twinkline
in the sky.

But, Radley," said John, as they

And" added Carol, eff you must get

Flemish Carrots.

Scrape small carrots and cut into
strips lengthwise. Put into a deep
saucepan with just enough water to
cover the bottom of the pan. Add,
for every two cups of carrots, one
teaspoon of butter, one-fourth tea
spoon Of salt, and one-fourth teaspoon
of sugar. Measure the sugar scant
rather than generously, or the carrots
will be too sweet. Cover closely and
cook over low heat for 20 minutes,
shaking the pan occasionally to prevent
burning. When the carrots are tender,
sprinkle with two tablespoons of minced
parsley and a few drops of lemon juice.
Serve hot.

The people of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, longing for clear, cool, bracing
mountain air and being under the i'm
preston that this, together with Won
derful mountain scenery and running
trout streams, can be had only by an
expensive trip to Colorado, may have
all these delights at little expense and
at the same time, if one loves to ramble
amid old ruins and to delve into the
long forgotten past, the opportunity is
open to every one Of you at Cerralvo,
Nuevo Leon, Mexico, just four hours
drive from the International Bridge at
Roma, Texas. Cerralvo was founded
305 years ago by the Spanish Ions who
came west looking for a healthful To-
cation to settle their people and at Ger
ralvo they found the most delightful
valley in all of North Mexico, a valley
Astounding in wonderful streams shad-
ed by giant pecans and sycamores, the
streams full of fish. They found the
mountain air wonderful and bracing
and they found in these same noun
tains rich ores of silver and gold and
lead. 1t was the Ell Dorado Of their
dreams and there they pitched their
tents and began the construction of
those wonderful stone houses which
still stand as monuments to one of the
hardest races of pioneers that ever
braved the wilds of an unknown land.
The church at Cerralvo and the old
Spanish smelter were both construct
ed 304 years ago and are still in a fine
state of preservation. You will be de-
lighted with a two-weeks' stay at Ger
ralvo, the most beautiful town in
North Mexico. You will feel better for
having gone there; your children will
enjoy the trip and their education will
be added to. Load up your flivver with
grub, with camp cots and fishing
tackle; go to the nearest Mexican Con-
sui and get a letter from him, come to
Roma, cross the bridge here, go to Mier
to the Collector of Customs with your
tourist permit and he will issue the ne
cessary permits for you to take your
car on without bonding it. You will
pass through the historic towns of
Aqua Leguas, Gen. Trevino, Mier, all
of them made famous by writer's of his
toric sketches. See the nearest Mex
lean Consul for information about this
trip.

ricultural rates will benefit the

If the farmers Of this section are to
continue the present haphazard
methods the benefits, if any, will be
practically negligible. However, il
they are we'll organized, as are the
potato growers, and secure some
measure of control on production
and assure orderly marketing OF
their crops, they will secure some
degree CT advantage from the new
rates.
They should bear in mind, how
ever, that their expenses will be
greater; that practically every COM

In handling and marketing their
crops, will advance in price # the
manufactures schedules in the
house bill are not revised down
ward,and these increases will, in
many cases, more than offset any
profit that may accrue to them as
a result Of the increased rate.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
Potato Growers association, which
for several years has proved of in
calculable benefit to the potato
growers OF the Valley, is in position
to secure for its members the adj
vantage Of the 75-cent rate on new
potatoes. Similar organizations
handling the tomato, cabbage. bean,
beet and carrot deals, designed to
hold paintings to a reasonable acre
age and to market in an orderly
manner, would prove Of great value
TO the winter vegetable interests of
the entire Valley.
There are thousands Of farmers
IN this section who are fully cog
INFANT Of the necessity of organiz-
ing, and if they are to c such
organizations and have them func-
tioning efficiently before the next
vegetable crop is ready for the mar
ket there should be no DELAY in
starting the preliminary work.
In this connection it Is not i'm
probable that the federal board
created by the farm relief bill, the
personnel Of which is expected to be
completed at an early date, will be
IN position to aid the Valley very
materially in orderly marketing Of
thewinter vegetable crops. Finan-
cial aid, very essential to orderly
marketing and proper distribution
Will be available only for those com
moddities which are organized, and
it is very obvious that if the VALLEY
growers are to profit to any degree
from either the farm relief or tariff
acts they must have perfect organi-
cation at an early date.

OAKLAND HAS
new FOUNDRY
Most Modern of Its Kind In
Operation; Seven Build
ings In System

PONTIAC, Mich, July Com
pletion and operation Of a new grey
iron foundry considered the last
word in modern foundry practice,
equipment and facilities, is an
nounced by Gordon Lefebvre, vice
president in charge Of operations
for the Oakland Motor Car Co.
This newest manufacturing unit,
another development Of the huge
expansion program not only in
creases the number of parts manu-
fActured in Oakland-Pontiac plants
to- fully 80 per cent, but like all
other units of this large industrial
group, is the most modern foundry
Of its kind in operation.
Seven distinct buildings make up
this foundry group, all connected
by an extensive conveyor system
with service yards between, the one
remarkable feature most evident
being the innumerable time and
labor saving machines so arranged
and coordinated that few parts or
materials are handled by hand.
This several-million dollar enter
prise adds 100000 square feet Of
floor space to the modern Oakland
Pontiac plant. Designed and sup
erintended by j. E. Linabury, who
constructed foundries for various
other. General Motors divisions, the
new Oakland Pontiac addition pos
sesses equipment and processes de-
veloped by Mr.. Linabury and said
to be entirely new in foundry prac-
tice.
Gradually picking up volume for
some time past, the foundry is now
pouring about 100 tons of casting
