Nov is my soul troubled; and what
shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour: but for this cause came I unto
this hour"
Thus the Master prayed in critical
hour. Later, in the Garden of Geth-
semane in the supreme moment of His
life, he prayed again: 20 my Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from
Me: Nevertheless, not as I will, but as
Thou wilt" Nothing so tests both con-
viction and the sense of mission as
crisis. The fine qualities of heroism are
rarely disclosed in days of quiet and
peace. At every turn of His way Jesus
was faced with a difficult and trying
situation and He met it courageously
and successfully Nothing hindered Him
as He moved on majestically to the ac-
complishment of His purpose. He had
come to lift the whole level of human
life to give man a better understand
ing of its meaning and ultimate des-
tiny. MiSinterpreted and misunderstood
as He was, nothing could swerve Him
from His holy purpose. He knew from
the beginning that the irresistible logic
Of His course was cruciflxion. Pa
tiently He bore persecution and mis-
understanding. He had set His face
TO tIle accompaniment OI HIS LulSIlIy
task, and while at times the burden was
overwhelming, His firm will and high
resolve carried Him on to the end.
There is a touch of the human in
these prayers which He offered in two
critical situations. There seemed to be
a momentary pause, when for brief
instant His clear vision concerning His
was obscured. 1t was but
f1eeting moment, and then His mission
was revealed to Him in all it's deep sig
nificance, coupled with an increasing
determination to pursue it at all costs.
Through the long centuries, men and
women have studied with reverent in
terest this lonely figure. They have
recognized the exalted character of His
life and teaching. They have pom
dered His weighty words expressive of
q view of life unequaled by that of any
other teacher. In every part of the
world the irresistible influence of His
has been felt, and millions to-
day worship Him and pay fealty to His
cause. There is nothing comparable
to this in the whole annal of human

The Cherry Blossoms Again.

Once more the cherry trees around

this season they are especially attrac-

The story Of their coming to the

Merchants Are Seeking

veloping all sorts of novel methods for

lars
The Department of Commerce has
collected some interesting and sugges-
tive data concerning new and original
credit schemes that are actually work
ing effectively in attracting trade For
example, one manufacturer and dis
tributor of dental preparation has
worked out this scheme. In newspaper
advertisements it announces that Gus
toners checks, dated three months
ahead, will be taken in payment for a
limited quantity of the product. Re
tailers are notified that the amounts of
the checks will be either credited to
heir accounts or made available for
purchase of merchandise directly from
the manufacturer.
Another plan, which, incidentally, has
proved to be of considerable help in
collecting old accounts, is used by a
group of stores in Chicago 1t is in
tended to provide "quick access to the
amount of each months receivables. Z"
In addition to inviting further credit
purchases, each store sends out an
itemized account of the current months

ceding month, plus the totals of any
balances from the third and fourth
months back. all separately stated, and
offers inducements for prompt settle

fit Of employees of firms that have been
unable to meet their pay rolls in cash
during the past weeks of banking diff
culties. Stores open accounts, indicat-
ing the employees entitled to make pur-
chases therein and setting a definite
term during which payments must be
made. The retailer charges the items
to the company, which deducts certain
stipulated per cent each week from the
workers salaries or wages. Grocery
and drug concerns are also reported to
be using this or similar methods.
1t Is pointed out by the investiga-
tors that the cost of selling on the in
stallment plan, or any other involving
deferred payment, involves three fac
tors: Handling the merchandise, Sell

account. Reduction in the cost of any
one of these functions, according ~ cr"
merchant, is science. The successful

this money to the big cotton land
lords in return for the landlords
promises not to grow cotton on these

FOOD GOING
HIGHER, SAYS
BAKERY HEAD
Workers Picket Stores
Against Rising Retail
Prices

NEW YORK, Sept. II. -
That retail bread prices are due
for further advances as a re-
suit of the Roosevelt price
raising program was predicted
yesterday by Earl A. Cox, President
of the New York State Bakers AS
ISOLATION.
The average price of bread, as re-
ported by the Consumers Bureau of
the Agricultural Administration at
Washington, is now between 7.6 to 9
cents pound, an advance of at least
20 percent since March, the first
month of the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
Predicting that these sharp adj
vances in bread prices will continue
still higher, Mr.. Cox declared:
"Since February, the cost of high
grade flour has gone up approx
mately IS per cent due to the rise
ditional processing tax imposed by
the Federal Government the
average baker finds himself In the
position where he must raise prices.
Consumers realize that a penny or
SO rise is reasonably to be ex-
pected."
The tightening of bread prices is
further aggravated by the Roose-
welt administrators policy Of dump
ing" wheat abroad at any price the
market will bring, in order to main
tain high wheat prices in this coun-
try. This is costing the government
millions of dollars in losses, besides
raising wheat prices here.
These bread price increases are
taking tribute from the pockets Of
the workers in the cities to the tune
of at least S1,000,O00 a year in every
city, DIR. Howe declared.
Milk Code Raises Milk Price
The governments price raising
program has had it's effect on all
dairy products. The government
milk code, as proposed by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, provides for a
minimum blanket increase Of at
least one cent quart throughout
the country.
In addition, no milk will be per-
mitted to be sold for less than 10
| cents quart.
Despite the advance In the retail
prices of many groceries, the dollar
sales of the largest national grocery
chain in the country, the A. & p
Grocery Stores, show a drop in retail
sales for the five weeks ending Sep
TENDER 2 of almost per cent. Elk
pressed in tons of groceries bought
by workers, there was drop Of CSC
per cent, the company's reports show
Buyers Strikes Spreading
These price increases are being met
with increasing resistance from or
ganized groups in the neighborhoods
In many cities, hundreds Of workers
have organized picket lines in front
Of bakeries and dairy companies, de-
manding lower food prices.
