thompson chairman, James y.
Stone, ana new member, Sam Fl.
Thompson Of Illinois, have just taken
office. In making its decision known,
the board pointed to its past pur-
chases of large wheat stocks and as
serted that sit cannot indefinitely buy
more than it sells nor indefinitely hold
what It has bought" Farmers must
know. the board continued, that 'it
cannot follow II regular policy of buy
ing ut prices above the market and
selling below cost"
No definite sales policy for its pres
ent big wheat holdings was announced
by the board. There were indications,
however. that should the farmers dis
play tendency TO help themselves by
restricting wheat acreage. the dis
posaI of the 1880 crop holdings would
he spread over a long period and
sold slowly.
In the market the immediate effect
of the announcement was of course
sharp break in prices. On the Chicago
Board of Trade wheat deferred fu-
lures reached the lowest levels since
1895. July touched 59h and Septem-
Der went down to GO cents.
There was quick. recovery, however,
when the Sterilization corporation an
nounced this plan: Effective April l.
the corporation will quote a selling
price of 921A cents bushel {. o. b. No.

ordinary quality. with premiums asked
for grain of high protein and quality.
This price will be advanced u cent

bushel every ten days thereafter until
June 80. the date which marks the ex-
piration of the current crop year.
In Washington 1t was asserted that
1t was now certain that farm relief
legislation would be a major issue
during the next session of congress.
and something new in this line may
be devised Senator Borah is still urg
emily supporting the export debenture
p;an. and Senator Watson of Indiana
prefers the equalization fee scheme.
Senator McNary also likes the latter
program but says he cannot see how
it will help solve the present prob
lem in the face Oh the world wheat
surplus. President Hoover is opposed
to both these plans. Borah suggests
that the present wheat surplus in this
country he sent to China or destroyed.
The European powers will not let it
be dumped on their markets.

Divine Message in the
Bursting Buds Of Spring

The spring miracle, of which Easter
is at once symbol, and culmina-
ton, is still, probably always will be,
a puzzle to which natural science Of
fers no solution. What is the force
that makes life to pulsate where for
months all has been deafness? What
and where is the heart that sets all
vegetable life a-going?
In defiance of ordinary law, water
runs uphill in millions of tree trunks
and flower stems; some hidden unex-
plainable mystery of life sends herb
age up from myriads of graves, renew
ing plant lives in their own order,
wintry death has given place to resur-
rection life.
How? Why? Shall we ever know
enough about this mystery to be able
to explain in terms of purely physical
life? a writer In the Montreal Family
Herald asks. To say that roots, bulbs,
tubers have a germ of life in them
which the spring season calls into
vigor tells me nothing. How does it hap
pen1 Who gives the signal for 1t?
What is this germ, this mystery of
life? Can science make one? Where
is the pump that sends billions of wa
terry matter climbing up trees, and
plants on top of the highest points in
the landscape? Gravity can have
nothing to do with it. Where is
the great throbbing, pumping heart of
naturef What controls it to stop at
one time of the year and start again
at another time? All that we can say
about It is that miracle happens
each spring. Resurrection from the
dead, worked by Power outside of
and beyond all our human mechanics?
Symbol In Spring Awakening.
AS l wrote some years ago, it is my
belief that spring is earth's Easter
time, its rising again to renewed life;
the vegetable kingdom printing upon
the worlds surface the all-important
news for mankind: Because ! live,
We shall live alsol" For the spring
awakening is purely typical of the re-
turn of the life principle to the dead
body of the second Adam or Head of
our race at the "Spring of souls" when
He too came forth from the ground
with the promise of another summer
and a blessed harvest time for Tan-
kind. 1t is that sure and splendid
hope that makes Easter a festival
time. 1t is founded on the angels
message to the women "Christ is risen
from the deadw 1t carries the logical
corollary, confirmed by the Divine
Masters own words, Because ! live,
We shall live also!" Every little pale
green shoot in the woods and fields,
every crocus, hepatica or spring beau
ty, and cleaning bloodroot blossom
sings out If we would heed it.
Since am here, doubt not He rose
And keep with me His Easter day.
Life After Winters Deafness.
Easter comes most appropriately at
the earth's resurrection time from its
winters deafness. Life from death is
the message of spring and of Easter
too. Death is no longer te be consid-

Colored Easter Eggs

When eggs first became identified
with the Christian festival they were
dyed red to commemorate the blood
of Christ, shed on Calvary. But this
practice did not remain universal, for
it is recorded that Edward |, in 1905.
ordered $50 dozen eggs TO be stained
in boiling and some TO be covered with
golf leaf" for distribution in the royal
household.

cred an ending, but only an interval
between this life and another life,
since that first of ali Easter day
dawned upon this world of humanity.
Death is such an appalling fact, yeu
know. Human nature instinctively
breads and rebels against it. 1t is
something imported into humanity,
which after all these centuries since
man was first made still comes as a
shock to it. We we're not intended, not
designed to meet that shockI None
can escape it. Death comes to every
one as a stop to all worldly activities.
That One had actually overcome death,
and proved that 1t was for the future
to be a gate to another, larger, COM
pensating life, and no longer prison
gate, swinging open only one way, in
wards, because of sin, was amazing
news to the world. Only the Creator
of man and the Manager of all things,
could have accomplished change like
that! Just as we cannot but see that
only He could set a-going that principle
which works the spring miracle of life
renewed out of wintry deafness.

Brought Hope to World.

1t was something new to men, this

poor humanity. 1t meant that our sin

the blessed spring it brought hope TO
the world. Just as every spring sent
