in doctrine or life, as Christ warned
his disciples to beware OF the leav-
en- of the Pharisees, and OF the
leaven Of Herod." 1t was the Kings
warning against false teaching
which by its subtle methods would
pervade and corrupt the whole
body Of teaching and life.
The Treasure and the Pearl
Again in the fifth and sixth par
ables representing respectively the
treasure the King sees hidden in
Israel and the pearl he finds in the
Church. Again, the Kingdom Of
Heaven is like unto treasure hid in
a field; the which when & man hath
found be hideth. and for Joy there
OF goeth and Selleth all that he hath
and buyeth that fiedl." From his
own Interpretation Of the second
parable we know that here, too, "the
field is the world" and the Son OF
Man is the one who has bought the
world, including Israel. which, du-
ring these times Of the gentiles" Is
like a hidden treasure OF unsus-
pected value which the Son o. Man
at his coming again will disclose in
its richness. Again. the ..ingdom
OF heaven is like unto a merchant
man. seeking goodly pearls: vino.
when he had found pearl Of
great price. went and sold all he
had, and bought It," Christ Is net
this pearl Of great price whi1h We
have bought by our surrender OF
all We have. We have not bought
Christ. but he has bought US. He
again as in all the other parallels
is the man of activity.
The Judgment Parable
The concluding parable Of the
group is that Of the net and the
separation Of its contents. a parable
al the final judgment All the end Of
the age in which evil will be sepa-
rated from good. the good to finally
come into it's OWL in the triumph
ofw HIGH 10 has often been cheated
IN this life.

BY DIR. ALVIN K. BELL


Is the world getting better? Some
folks argue that it is, and point to
numerous evidences Of the progress
Of righteousness and good will IN
the world. Is the world getting
worse? Other folks argu 1t IS, and
can point TO just as numerous evil
dences Of the progress OF iniquity,
crime and strife in the world. The
fact is that both are right. There IS
more good in the world today than
ever before, and there Is also o
evil in the world than ever before.
This is in accord with our Lords
parable Of the tares and the wheat.
The field Is the world: the good
seed are the children OF the king
dom: but the tareS are the chill
dren OF the wicked ones; the enemy
that sowed them Is the devil" Let
both grow together until the har-
vest" is the Kings own e~xplana-
ton OF why he tolerat1s this in
crease Of evil side by side with in
creasing Righteousness.
The Mustard Seed and Leaven
The third Of Christ's Kingdom
parallels pictured his kingdom as
like TO a grain OF mustard seed
which a nan took. and Sewed IN
his field: which indeed l. the least
Of all seeds: but when ID is grown,
IL Is the greatest among herbs, and
becometh a tree. so that the birds
OF the air come and lodge in the
branches thereof" III was a proph-
esy Of that unfortunate day when
the Church abandoned the spirit
| and policy Of the lowly Nazarene
and rrasped after worldly glory and
political power. with the result that
forces Of evil like fowl br0ods Of
birds found IL paid TO seek shelter
In the Church.
The fourth or this group OF par
ables is companion to the third and
points 10 an unfortunate tendency
az the Kingdom In another direc-
ton. VIZ. IN It's inner corruption

GRASS GROWERS
GET GOOD PRICES
Cannery Deal Promises Successful
~-@ Season at a Profitable
ssr.es Price - -......'

Asparagus growers may face the
coming season with every prospect
IF receiving satisfactory prices for
their product as long as they care
to cut. A contract was completed
this week with the cannery at Sum
nyside for 125 tons of grass at q
price equalling 80 cents a packed
box fob. cars. Lee Lampson, rep
resenting the 8 Rivers Growers
handled the deal.
This grass may be delivered dur
ing the annual Slump" period oc-
curing right at the peak of the
cutting season usually. This period
lasts comparatively short time,
when prices resume a figure that
justifies further cutting, but once
the cutting has been allowed to
hang over the production is never
as good. This contract will permit
daily cuttings over the patches dur
ing this period.
The cannery reports an ircreas-
ing demand for the "green" aspar-
agus produced in this section. Con-
sumers have taken kindly to the
style of pack and the excellent
quality of the product and officials
predict a steadily growing demand.

NEW HIGHWAY
NOT YET OPEN
Stretch from Kiona to Prosser is
in Use but East End is
Net Completed

Some of our local citizens bump
ed into more or less trouble last
Sunday when they attempted to use
the new highway to Prosser. The
lower end of this road, from the
end of the pavement into Kiona, is
not open for traffic. There is con-
siderable rock work with its at
tendant blasting yet to be done,
and the condition Of the surfacing
is such that it is difficult to pass
the gravel trucks.
The upper end of the road, from
Kiona to Prosser, has been opened.
However, at one point there has
Ieen a large slide and the shovels
are still at work there, creating a
short stretch Of one way traffic.

way out of the present situation on
the Highlands and that there would
be difficulties to be surmounted
in carrying out such a plan. Since
the meeting interested parties have
agreed that the legal complica-
lions from such procedure would
be almost certain to prevent the
carrying out of this plan except
as one step in the development of
the high line unit.
The plan in brief, is that the dis
trict deed the property to the gov
eminent, the government to build
the dam and power canal for two
and half miles down the river to
point where drop Of 30 feet or
so could be obtained. Here to err
ect a power plant for the genera
tion of electric energy. This energy
to be supplied to the Highlands
pumping plant at cost, and the sur
plus power to be sold to repay the
construction cost of the plant. The
department then to loan the dis
trict enough money to carry out
the relief measures as previously
outlined.
The relief asked for was as has
been previously published in this
paper, briefly that of charging
the pumps and pipe lines to size
sufficient to give third more wa
ter to the present 1900 acres UNI
der cultivation on the Highlands,
as well as a trifle over 400 adj
ditional acres now under the pres
emit high lift lateral, but not re-
ceiving water. This would spread
the cost over four thousand acres
instead of 1900 and would give suf-
ficient water to all the area at an
estimated cost of eleven or twelve
dollars per acre, including all ex-
penses of operation, maintenance
and repayment. This figure is low
er than that now being paid for
an insufficient amount of water.
Successful orchardists on the High
lands have repeatedly stated that
with sufficient water supply the
per acre charge may be nearly
twice that figure and still be a
highly profitable venture.
Moulton stated that this plan
was for temporary relief only and
that some such arrangement was
necessary if this highly productive

to include other foods, if the idea
takes as well in Kennewick as it
seems to have in other cities.
