Last week an auto turned ovei

The week before the same kind

Why the difference in results,
one could easily go crazy from
constantly thinking about such

Life in the abundance comes not
from the revelation of the worlds

Gods deep and mysterious ways
are past finding out.
Our finite minds are simply, lost
In the scheme of the infinite.
The problem of tomorrow is out
of our reach. We can nit tell. Yet
il makes all the difference as TO
how we face tomorrow and how
we think about tomorrow.
The man who does not think
about it at all is OF course the
worst of all.
More over proof does not de-
pend upon revelation of mysteries.
Who among you have not had
faith and in a definite way been
by it.
But you never could tell exactly
how.
Faith is a mysterious thing but

They are heirs of hopes too fair

CHINA TO SURVEY
NATIVE RESOURCES
Mining Engineers and GeoI.
ogists Follow Armies
Behind Reds.

CHUNGKING, Szechuan Province,
China tR.-Mining engineers and
geologists are following close on the
heels of advancing government armies
in this West China province, where
retreating Communist forces are aban-
doning territories reputed to be i'm
mensely rich In oil, coal and gold.
Plans for an intensive program of
exploitation of these untouched nat
ural resources have been announced
by the National Economic Council Of
the Chinese government. Experts of
the council plan q thorough survey Of
all mineral-bearing and oil-bearing
lands.
Coal fields in Northern Szechuan
which have been under Communist
occupation for several years were once
declared by a British geologist TO con-
tain enough coal to supply the needs
of the entire world for several CEN
turies.
Petroleum Abundant.
Near the salt beds at Tseliutsing
petroleum oozes from the earth and
forms pools on the surface of the
land. Chinese experts believe the
beds are underlain with vast reservoirs
Of oil.
Meanwhile, Gen. Chang Kai-Shek,
directing his armies from headquar-
ters in this Yangtze port, pushes
broad highways into these unexpected
regions and builds blockhouses which
he hopes will enable his soldiers to
hold the territory they have re-
covered.
Other roads are being built into
the neighboring provinces of Kwei-
chow, Yunnan, Shensi and Kansu,
also rich in unexploited natural re-
sources. BY constructing these lines
of communication, which all con-
verge on Chungking. China's mill
tary chief Is strengthening his au-
thority over q territory 100000 square
miles in area. Until Gen. Chang
asserted his power in these provinces,
the mileage of roads was negligible.
The generalissimo Is showing provin-
cial militariss that highways can
more than repay their builders by

REPORTS ON WHEAT
ARE UNFAVORABLE
World Stocks Reduced and Gen
eral Deterioration of Crops
Otherwise.
BY the Associated Press.

by Lllc AhsOClhLcu FfeSS.
Reduced world stocks of wheat, de-
terioration of Northern Hemisphere
crops. and unfavorable prospects in
the Southern Hemisphere were noted
today by the Agriculture Department.
The Governments market news
service observed that wheat prices
have shown stubborn resistance"
to declines in recent weeks The same
trend was noted by several prominent
traders.
Prospective supplies are sufficient
for normal domestic requirements, the
Government pointed out. but there is
no excess of wheat in sight. Sum-
ming up the decrease in world carry
over stocks of about 10000 900 from
last year the report added it is sig
nificant to note" that this figure Is
about the same as the increase in
the carryover in 1929.

opening UP natural resources and by
facilitating arm military control over
the regions through which they pass.
To his enemies, the reds, Gen.
Chang owes his expanding power
in West China. When the Com
munists streamed out of Central
China and into the west they threw
such q scare into the provincial
satraps that the latter sent urgent
calls for assistance to Gen Chiang,
to whom they had accorded only lip
service before. The nations military
leader seized upon this opportunity
to extend his authority. He poured
thousands of his best troops into the
western provinces. They are still
there.
Enforcement OF Revenues.
While the generaliSsimo entrenches
himself here, he Is compelling petty
militarists who have been fattening
themselves on illegal taxes and opium
revenues to bear the brunt of the at
tack against the reds. When they
prove unequal TO the task, they are
replaced by men from Gen. Chang s
own staff.
The Communists, penned up for the
last two years in q large area Of North
eastern Szechuan, are pushing west
ward into the mountain wilderness
which separates szechuan from Tibet,
where they are expected TO make a
stand. Another large body of reds is
concentrating In Southeastern SEE
chuan along the Yunnan and Kwei-
chow boundaries. Here they will hnd
thin "pickings," for the region is
mountainous and unproductive and
has few large towns.
In the recovered districts rehabil-
itation is being pushed rapidly, and
1t is in these areas that steps are be-
ing taken to develop natural resources.

closing that Canadas total sales and

creased from that period of 1884 and
