A

myself; for then is Jehovah gone out
before thee"
The preacher said that religion con
sists in being able to recognize the ex-
traordinary in the ordinary things of
life.
Many people hear the wind in the
trees, and say: ut is the wind in the
trees" Now and then comes one who
says: "It is the footsteps of Jeho-
YAH"
Many people see the turmoil of the
present, and say: cit is confusion; it
is anarchy; it is hopeless" But those
who are wiser say: cit is God remould-
ing His world into a new and better
image. Let us bestir ourselves and go
forward"
The sermon lifted us. 1t was a clear
prophetic voice announcing that the
Power which made the world has not
deserted it,, is still working in it. 1t
made us feel that we ought to lift our
eyes and be active, lest these great and
far-reaching changes come to pass
without our recognizing them.
I advise all preachers these days to
preach a positive faith. To put aside
any sermons that criticize people or
discourage them, and preach conf
dence land courage and hope.
Men need this now. If the church
can provide it, the church will make
great gains. Bad times have always
been its best times.

pound of granulated sugar in a sauce
pan, with a teacup of water, a quarter
pound of butter, and a small can of

CHURCH

Years ago an eminent economist had
an idea.
Selecting one protestant denom1na-
ton whose records had been kept care
fully, he set down the number of new
members added each year. Opposite
this, in another column, he classified
each year from an economic stand
point as prosperous or bad.
The year 1865 was an initiation
year; nineteen thousand people joined
this particular church. In 1866 came
panic, and new members jumped to
thirty thousand.
Then years of "good" times, but bad
times for the church, until the panic
of 1878, when up shot the member
ship, reaching a new high in 1877,
when prosperity registered a new
low"
Panic in 1898 was followed by a
church gain in 1894; the pinch of
1907 by a boost in membership in
1908. And so on.

Good Vegetable Salad

Use any cold cooked vegetables you
have on hand. Chill them thoroughly
and combine them carefully and at
tractively. String beans and cauliflow-
er go we'll together. Diced beets and
peas, lima beans and carrots, carrots
and peas, chopped spinach alone-these
are but suggestions. The cook with an
instructive feeling for what is good in
combination will devise a salad out of
any leftover vegetables she may have
on hand.

Gordon, extension specialist in
dairying, University of California.

disease, maintenance of quality ana
the development of such economic
practices as will tend to reduce
costs and provide a balanced pro-
gram for the future"
While a dairy Improvement pro-
gram of this character has been
carried on in California, through
the agricultural extension service
of the College of Agriculture, IN
iyersity of California, for the past
10 years, it is specially important
in times of low prices, according to
Gordon, to assist dairymen in CO.
ordinating their work and develop
ing a Well-balanced program to
meet economic conditions.

fireman who is also something OF
ball player, or thinks he is. Joe
was really on the big league pay
roll once but nobody ever found
out whether it was as a ball player
or comedian.
AS the small town big shot, "
who can make a baseball loop the
loop, and who is assistant chief of
the fire department, Joe gets into
adventure, romance and comedy,
much comedy.
He has an excellent group of
actors and actresses supporting
him, including Evalyn Knapp, the
girl who had the whole country
pulling for her when she hurt her
back and was patient in a hos
pital for months; Guy Kibbee, Lii
ian Bond, George Meeker, George

of Chic, and Richard Carrie, the
old-time musical comedy star.
There are also three youngsters,

a few more ball players, plenty of

VALLEY PECAN
TREES SHIPPED
TO COAST AREA

The first shipment of pecan trees
ever made from Imperial Valley
local nursery stock for planting in
other communities was made Tues
day when two truckloadS of three
year old pecan trees were shipped
to the coast by John Bretz, jr., of
the Imperial Pecan Nursery at
Meloland. According to informa-
ton received by the staff of the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
the local stock was chosen after
the purchasers had made thor
ough investigation of several nurs-
cry stocks, as it was believed the
Imperial Valley grown trees would
be best suited to conditions in the
locality where the trees are to be
planted.
Pecan paintings in Imperial VAL
ley are increasing steadily, states
Robert Hays, manager of the local
chamber. The Imperial Pecan
Nursery is planting this week 25
acres near Holtville and has just
completed the planting of 10 acres
on the Timpkin ranch, near Braw-
ley, which Manager Bulls hopes to
have entirely in pecans and dates
at future date. A moderate acre
age has also been planted just west
of the Ell Centro city limits, another
just southwest of the city and, in
addition, paintings of various sizes
have been made in scattered Sec
tions of the valley. This shows
widespread interest in pecans in
this community, Hays states, and
that pecans may be grown in good
soil in practically any section of the
valley and not in any one restricted
area.
The chamber of commerce is re-
ceiving many inquiries in regard
to pecan planting and those who
desire to make an investment in
permanent crop are being encour-
aged to plant pecan groves, pro-
vided their soil is suited to this in
dustry. Statistics show that thf
demand greatly exceeds the supply
for pecan nuts and a buyer from
a st. Louis wholesale nut house who
recently visited chamber headquar-
ters stated that they could not pro-
cure enough paper shell pecans, the
only kind grown in Imperial VAL
ley, to supply the holiday demand
and that the year round demand
is constantly increasing. He stated
that his company could purchase
all the pecans which Imperial VAL
ley could grow and still not over
supply the market.
