Parable Of Desert Rose Told by Reno "Sky-Pi|ot"
Sees Waste Places Hearts Cities Where Business Cw Ont Faith

'If you want to wash there's water in the
barrel brung it over from the spring yesterday.
There's basin that bench. You can dry your
self with your shirt tail"
THE wife came out indignant at such remark,
! bringing towel and accusing the old rascal,
who grinned with joy to see her disturbed
Here's towel Why, Jeb, where's your man
ners?" Then she lowered her voice to almost
apology. when you finish cleaning up will you
throw your water on my rose bush? 1t needs lot,
and water is pretty scarce It's just in blossom
Wouldn't you like to see it?"
She showed it to u.s. Around the corner of the
shack-protected by wet gunnysack from the
sand and the wind, and the blasting heat of the
desert sun-a little yellow rose bloomed-a tiny
spot of beauty in blazing world of heat and desc
lation. We removed our hats. We were in the pres
ence of the divine-of something sacred, something
beautiful. 1t was though she were keeping some
thing alive in her heart which she would not sur
render to the desert.
TO me this will always be the parable of the rose
! in the desert. I had heard that some of the
pioneer women washed their windows each week
then each month-then not at all The monotony
of the desert and it's bleakness and loneliness got
to their souls, and left them desoate.
Others, like her, never gave up trying to keep in
the heart some beautiful thing refusing to give up
to the dirt. This is the task of life-not to let
down. The hot winds of temptation scorch us. The
dirt of life piles upon u.s. but try to keep alive
something beautiful. The immoral is not that it is
evil alone, but that it takes something fine, attrac
tive, refreshing out of man and woman and
leaves them drab and dull. 1t is as though flower
had started to bloom, and had withered before the
dust, leaving neither beauty nor song.
1t was as though she still lived with her dreams
She had gladdened bleak and dreary spot with
touch of color The traveller passing through that
maze of heat and melancholy caught the fragrance
of sweet-smelng flower, like good deed in
dusty world Out there in the wderness-by the

side of the roadside lifted life from the dull to
the beautiful for those who passed that way.
In the human heart are many beautiful thoughts.
To keep them alive is the struggle. To keep one
little flower blooming amid the drab of life
her salvation If that flower had died her thoughts
would have died with it.
This is not the story of waste places called
desert, where it is difficult to keep flower called
faith alive in the heart. 1t is the city which is the
desert. Out there in the waste land when evening
comes God sets his little lights in the sky and the
pinnaces on the hills, in shadow, seem like those
who have bowed in prayer before the splendor of
the setting sum- God in His holy temple.
THERE are deserts in the city; not alone where
! the poor and the crowded are congested, but
where society and business and mammon have
crowded out the beautiful and the little rose does
not blossom. Working down at the end of the old
BoWery, shall never forget the broken woman who
came to our flower mission one Monday morning.
The churches up town always sent their flowers
of a Sunday for us to give to the poor and the
sick
She stood looking at them with strange far
away look in her eyes-eyes that were too hard for
"a woman said to her, Wouldn't you like some
of these?" and offered her the roses in my hand.
Mister could have that little geranium? My
mother used to raise them in a little window box
where the sun came in, back on our farm"
She took the little pot of flowers, covering it
with her old shawl, and went out into the cold with
shambling gait
Next morning the barkeep from the saloon next
door brought it back to me with the explanation:
Father, you had better give this to somebody
who will keep it. That old dame brought it in and
traded it to me for drink of whiskey."
when was this?" I asked. "This morning" he
replied. "Well, Bill she had that little flower since
yesterday, had her hours with old memories with
her mother and the old home and the sun coming
in the bay windows. That's something in her life
these days"

against the uncertainties of the future and as pro-
lection to old age
THE greatest threat against youths ability to
! save along these lines is waste in government
that year by year is producing higher and higher
taxes 1t is erroneous to think that only people
Of wealth pay taxes Today even those on relief are
taxed in the limited purchases they make of
necessities
American youth enjoys the privilege OF living
under the best form of constitutional government
existing in the world today With Fascism, Com
munism and Nazism sweeping away personal
freedom under the heels of ruthless dictators the
American people continue to enjoy and cherish
those sacred human rights set up in our Constitu-
tion and adopted nearly hundred and fifty
years ago.
The constitution is perhaps the most priceless
heritage of our youth In world swept by con-
fused alarms and struggles, it is to be hoped that
the young and women today zealously guard
it against the assaults of those who would sweep
it aside to crafty greed for power and wealth.

the sage was heavy which meant good soil
turned in and out through the brush following the
pathway of an empire, westward-moving in the
footprints of the lowy rabbit. Upon the same hill
where the coyote looked across the valley and the
sagehens gathered at night, the pioneer built his
home.
We drove up to his little homestead in one of the
early automobiles. The old-tmer greeted us, Come

CHOULD one feel sorry for the boys and girls
Oof today, jumping into the swim of life-a life
turbulent from disturbed economic and social
issues?
Does one feel sorry for friend leaving
journey to strange parts where life is different
the routine and monotony of the past unknown;
where all sorts of unexpected adventures and
opportunities await?
THERE ISN'T A MERCHANT PRINCE TODAY

ENTHUSIASM TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THESE
YOUNGSTERS IN THE CONQUEST OF THE
GOLDEN YEARS OF OPPORTUNITY AHEAD
In the generations to come, the boys of today
will be considered pioneers in many fields of eco
nomic activity. How successful these pioneers of
today will be will depend upon the SQUARENESS
OF THEIR JAWS their ability to GIVE and
TAKE! On the resourcefulness of the depths of
their springs of youth-springs that carry dregs
of encouragement that may grow into failure.
If there is any difference between the youths
of today and those of yesterday, it is perhaps in
the abundance of opportunity in the matter of
preparation for life Parents always endeavor to
give their children opportunities which they them
selves were denied.

MAKE HIM soft" AND UNEQUAL TO THE
JOB OF TAKING 1T ON THE CHIN" And it is
good thing to remember that it isn't the number

has always found it's challenge-a challenge that
has always called on it's pioneering blood.
And it is good that pioneering blood does course
in the veins of our boys and girls of today for
in the midst of new era of accomplishment.
Years that call for the same courage the same
indomitable purpose that held the covered wagons
on their hazardous course across the plains and
the mountains.
Youth then found adventure and a field for
accomplishment in things that were largely phys
ical. Today youth is finding the same adventure
but in fields that complex economic and social
life have created.
But what the chances to get ahead today?
This is the question that boys in particular are
asking on leaving high school and college. Ger
tainly if there was opportunity in the generations
behind these boys there is opportunity today,
multiplied by the very intricacies of life devel
oped and intensified by the advances of science

The comparative steadiness OF the
Government bond market in the face
of increasing demands on the Treasury
IS one of the most remarkable phases
of the investment situation.
Quoting Jesse H. Jones, chairman OF
the r. F. c.: Il have said on many
occasions that I should like to see the
Government out of the lending busi-
ness. but not until credit is available
from private sources at interest rates
and upon terms that can be met with
out placing too great burden upon
borrowers. Interest rates have been
too high and terms too exacting."
Executives of banks that have pre-
sented their 1885 results this week to
stockholderssdo not. of course, agree
with Mr.. Jones. They complain bit
terly of the low interest rates which
seriously reduce the percentage OF in
come on available assets. Mr.. Jones,
however, goes further in his campaign
for lower rates. He would favor an
average rate of per cent instead OF
the generally fixed statutory rate OF
6 per cent. The large borrower, he
states, can get his money these days
on a very easy basis, but the average
man" has to pay the top prices for it

Soviets Buy Machinery.
MOSCOW.-"For more than year
the Soviets have been buying vast
quantities of machine tools abroad, as
much to make themselves self-suf-

the United States have received the
largest orders.
Raw materials, however, are again
becoming an important item of i'm
port. Large rubber imports recently
are thought to be part of a plan to
build up reserve supplies of raw ma
terials lacking within the country.
Other items are a part of the new
policy of government rapidly to I'M
