tai agony it witnessed his finest
victories over his opponents. Never
were his nerves more steady, his
courage higher, his mind more keen.
Deliberately he piled up the noun
tain Of hatred, knowing that it
would kill him, but determined
that there should be no doubt
through the ages as to what, he
had stood for, and why he had to
die.
Every man who loves courageous
manhood ought to read these final
chapters at least once a year. Any
attempt to abridge or paraphrase
them would result in failure or
worse. We pass over them in rev.
erent silence, stopping only for a
glimpse Of a most wonderful
scene.
/ 1t is the final supper on that
cool, quiet Thursday night. He
knew that he should never meet
with the disciples around the table
again. All the memories of the
three great years must have crowd
ed into his mind as the meal prog
ressed.
And this was the end. His rela-
tives had turned their backs on
him; his home town had scorned
his advances, his best friend had
ldied doubling; the people had
turned away, and his enemies were
about to triumph-is there any
lother leader who would have stood
forth unbroken BY such blows?

Too Much Idle
Land In State

With over one and one-half
million acres of cleared land now
lying idle in the State any addi-
tional clearing by cutting off tim
! Der will only add to that land on
which the farmer is paying taxes
and from which he is getting no
return.
'This idle land is just as harm
full in an economic way as idle la
bor," says R. w. Graeber, extern
son forester as State College. 1.-The
natural erosion and teaching will
cause untold losses in soil fertility
and this cannot be replaced in =
day, a year, or a number OF years"
; To this million and a half acres
now lying out will be added thous-
ands Of other acres released from
cash crSo cultivation under the
crop reduction program, points out
Graeber and he advises farmers not
to cut timber and clear land but
to plant trees on much of the land
that is not now in cultivation.
Many farmers are even now cut
ting down trees that within a few
years would make valuable lumber,
|Graeber saws. This timber, in
most cases, is not of commercial
size but, in a few years, would be
worth considerably more as saw
logs than they will bring as cord
wood.
Pines that are from IS to 20
years old are increasing in value
from two to three dollars an acre
which is enough to pay taxes and
have a little surplus if figured from
a money saving standpoint. ANY
additional clearing will only mean
mere land to wash away and the
farmer will lose in both soil and
timber value, says Graeber.

DON'T WITH
PUBLIC SAFETY

The kind of economy" that en-
dangers a city's safety is false in
deed.
That is the message in a brief
article by L. S. Gregory, Assistant
Secretary, Fireman's Fund Group
He is in a position to know. Dur
ing the past few years a great many
communities have gone in for
economy" where it is most dang
erous-by lessening appropriations
for the fire department.
Mr.. Gregory cites a case in a large
Southern city. where the firemen,
in fighting a blaze in a manufac-
turing plant, could do almost moth
ing because the hose was so old
that it could not stand normal
pressure. They were able, through
a fortunate circumstance, to Dor
row new hose from a private con-
Germ. Otherwise a conflagration
might have resulted.
in another city, cuts in fire de-
partment appropriations necessi-
tated laying up the fire boat. When
a waterfront fire broke out the
city was confronted by the ludic-
-ous spectacle of a handful of fire
men in a row boat attempting to
pull a line out from shore to con-
troll the fire!
1t is probable that most cities and
towns have economical principally
in the matter of fire apparatus.
Old engines are allowed to keep on
in service when they are outmoded
and inefficient, or in need of re-,
pair. New engines which are vi,
tally needed are not purchased. A
few thousand dollars is saved,
and millions of dollars and a null,
titude of lives are endangered.
There's no worse place to- cut,
costs than the fire department.
And there's no better time to i'm
prove than right now. The Fed
eral government is making excep-,,
.tionally favorable loans to cities, 80
per cent of which is to be an out
gift, for needed public works.
No public work" is more valu-I
able to every citizen than an Al
fire department.

STANDING ALONE

For just a moment, in the next
spring, there seemed to be a renewed
popular interest. The crowds
flocked around Jesus in the old ia
miliar way; the disciples noted it
joypusly. 'The multitudes come
together to him again." they ex-
claimed and at once their hopes were
busy with new. visions of his sue
cess. But dismay followed fast.
Against their ardent protest he car
ried them off into close retirement.
They were restless, lonely, distress
ed at the high handed fashion in
which he turned away supporters.
Was it necessary to be so harsh
with the Pharisees? Why should
he have ridiculed them out of his
company? Why tell people that
their precious ritual was less accept
able to God than the cry for mercy
an untaught publican? Why
slight their ready hospitality in ia
vor of an outcast like Zacchaeus.
Jesus little group of friends were
still cropping for a clear vision of
message and purposes when for the
last time he led them down to Je-
rusalem and the final feast.
The one week of his life which
everybody knows is the last week.
Hence we pass over tin these ar
ticles. 1t began with the triumph
ant shouts of s'hosanna''; it ended
with the bloodthirsty cries of "cru-
city"

COMING WINTER TO BE
L D IN A

Harrisburg, Pa.-The PennsyA-
vania farmer, whose reputation as a
weather prophet runs far beyond
the states borders. warns that the
coming winter will be the coolest
and longest in many years.
Take the heavy coat of the pig
con for example, says the man who
tells" the weather by signs.
Then, too, mushrooms are plenti-
full, the bark of the trees is heavy,
corn husks are thick, it was a rainy
summer-and if you believe in
signs, you know it's going to be
the kind of winter grandpa used to
rave about.

NOT FOR US TO WORRY
ABOUT

"And when ye shall hear of wars
and rumors of wars, be we not
troubled"
That seems to us as good advice
to Americans today as it was to
those to whom it was spoke, nine
teen hundred years ago.
Great to-do is being made over
Germany's Withdrawal from the
League of Nations and the Disarm-
ament Conference, following Jap
ans action some months ago. The
Sensation-mongers are busily trying
to promote another war in Europe.
a war between the United States
and Japan, other wars between other
nations.
We do not believe that wars are
SO easy to start as all that. Nor
do we recall a war that was herald
ed by such a volume of preliminary
publicity. War preparations are
not made in the open. No nation
which proposes to make war on an
other sends out notice in advance.
In other words, we think that most
of the war-talk is bluff.
We remember the last great war.
We remember how the people Of
America were swept off their feet
by what we now realize was largely
inspired propaganda. We do not
think this. nation will easily be
drawn into another war while there
are those alive who remember the

last one. We wish we could say
that we do not believe we shall ever
engage in another war; but we are
afraid that no nation as yet has
reached the stage of poise and self
command to insure that.
Nevertheless, we do believe that
the present rumors Of war are mat
tiers owe which we should not be
troubled.

Relieves Women's Pains

Here is an example of how Cardui
has helped thousands of women:
II was very thin and pale"
writes Mrs. F. H. Scott, of Roa-
noke, Va. "I suffered from weak
ness and a severe pain in my back.
This pain unnerved me, and I did
not feel like doing my work. 1
did not care to go places, and felt
worn, tired, day after day.
"My mother had taken Cardui,
and on seeing my condition she
advised me to try it. I have never
regretted doing so. I took three
bottles and it built me up. l
gained in weight, my color was
better and the pain left my back.
I am stronger than I had been in
some time"
Cardui, the purely vegetable medi-
cine which SO many women take and
recommend, is sold by local druggists.

THE NEED FOR COOPERA-
TON GROWS

The farmer who believes that
because government is seeking to
do certain things for him, he needs
do nothing for himself, might
ponder these words of Governor
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., of the
Farm Credit Administrator: 81
believe in cooperation both as a
way of advancement and as a nee
essity for the American farmer.
don't believe any new form of
economy or new regulation of pro-
duction will ever make it less nee
essary. 1t is more likely to increase
the importance of it."
Agricultural cooperation means
that the farmer, in association with
his fellows, is taking definite steps
to help himself-and is adopting
the soundest and most proven
lean of achieving a given end.
The government itself recognizes
that-and the careful reader of re-
cent farm legislation will be i'm
pressed by the emphasis laid on
cooperative methods. Indeed, Mr..
Morgenthau says that the new sys-
tenn amounts to a chain of banks
is going to help by providing nec-
for cooperarives. The government
is going to help by providing nee
essary financing financing, and the
rest is up to organized farmers.
During three years of depression
the membership rolls of the estab-
lished ~cooperatives have constantly
grown. During the next few years
the years of recovery-their rate
of growth should be immensely &C
CELEBRATED. If that happens, and all
indications are that it will, agricul-
lure faces a bright future.
