When thinking of gardens,
ones mind easily takes a side
road" and this leads to homes,
and in particular, lovely old
ones. In and near washington
there are many priceless old
places whose walls, still as
Staunch and handsome as ever,
once rang to the merry laughter
of ladies III pastel shaded crino-
lines and their satin clad and
be-wigged escorts. Some of the
houses have rather pathetic sto-
ries attached to them, having once
been the homes of prosperous
families and the scenes of gay
parties and much luxury, then
deserted when wars took their
toll or the West beckoned. For
years they stood thus, their sur
rounding grounds ragged and I'm.
kempt, their once stately pillars
and door beams Sagging and rot
ting away, and their darkened
windows staring sightless at the
seemingly unsympathetic world.
Historic Homes
On April 1S-just the one day
there will be the annual tour Of
the historic homes in Alexandria.
There will be Is houses to visit
delightful places to see, filled with
fascinating antiques which sug-
gest the interesting histories that
must be back of them. There are
two new ones added to the list this
year that have never been open
to visitors before. One is the win
some old estate on Franklin Street
that is now the home of Col. and
Mrs. w. H. Peek, and the other
place belongs to Mr.. and Mrs.
Beverly Ober, who have taken such
infinite care and succeeded in
coaxing back the original beauty
and charm.
Each year this pilgrimage has
attracted large numbers of people
from this city. Maryland and Wiz
ginia, but this season residents Of
sophisticated New York have
turned more than mildly inter
eSted eyes upon the list and many
are making plans to pay a visit to
Washington about the middle of
the month and thus be here for
the tour. .

BY DIR. ALVIN e. BELL

LET US BEAR In mind that when
Jesus met these fishermen mending
their nets by the Sea Of Galilee, this
was not his first meeting with them.
More than a year before this he had
met them in the wilderness Of Judea
at the Jordan river where John the
Baptist had pointed him out to some
of them as ''the lamb Of God that
taketh away the sin of the world"
Fishermen Become Fishers of Men
After a night of failure in which
these fishermen had taken nothing
Jesus appeared among them to ask a
favor in the leading of their empty
boat to become his pulpit from which
he taught a great multitude that
thronged the shore. Then he paid his
boat rent tby turning their failure into
fulness as reward of their faith and
obedience to his word in Launching
out into the deep and letting down
their nets for a draught" Peter fell
down at Jesus knees, saying, DE
part from me for l am a sinful man,
o Lord Was it the sin of wasting
the year since he had first met Christ
and gone back to his nets, of which
Peter is here conscious and confess
ing? AT least Peter and his partners
are now ready to accept Christ's chal-
Ienge to full time discipleship when
he says, "FSear not; from henceforth
thou shalt catch men, for "they left
all and followed him" The word used
here for catch men, denotes take
men alive" It is used only here and
In II Timothy 2:26 when the refer
ence is to men being taken alive in
the snare of the devil" What a choice
of alternatives we have here in these
two!
Power in Realms of Disease, Deity
Luke the physician next recounts
Christ's cleansing of leper. Lord,
If thou wilt thou canst make me
Clean" said the man full of leposy.
He was also full Of faith and SUBJ
missveness to the will and Lordship
OF Jesus, and his reward came richly
os Christ put forth his hand and
touched him saying, Il WILL be thou
clean" and his willing heart and
helping hand brought complete cleans
ing to the leper.
From physical ieprosy Luke takes
US 10 the scene of the cleansing OF
one who must have been something
of moral ieper, and who as a result
of his sin brought q certain affliction

upon himself. When the mans friends
were unable to enter by the door they
opened the roof and lowered their
helpless friend into the presence OF
Jesus, who, seeing their faith said to
the sick of the palsy, Son, be Of good
cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee" a
claim to authority in the high spirit

Jesus Eniists a Publican
Jesus goes after all kinds of men
for his discipleship. He finds not on
ly fishermen but businessmen like
Matthew the tax official. Follow me"
was his challenge to Matthew as he
sat at the place of toll, "and he for
sock all and rose up and followed
him" He even celebrated his resigna-
ton by a feast which resulted in cri-
ticism from Jesus enemies because
he did not conform to their ways of
fasting. He answered that mo man
rendeth a piece from a new garment
and putteth it on an old garment" He
had not come to patch and repair the
old but to create anew!

MAYOR TALKS OUT
At RALEIGH MEET.
Watkins Tells Municipal
Men More Business Need
ed by the Cities

Mavor Irvine B. Watkins spoke
plainly at the district meeting of the
North Carolina Municipal League iii
Raleigh Tuesday night, and told the
assembled city officials that more
business was needed in their affairs.
He told of how Henderson has collect
ed its taxes down to a fine point, and
gave much credit to City Clerk S. e.
Burwell for the fine record in that re-
spect that has been made.
The News and Observer carried this
item about what the mayor said:
If municipal officials would adopt
strict, business-like methods in col
lectng their taxes and then see to
it that men interested iii local gov
ernmental problems are sent to the
General Assembly, the financial wor-
ries of harassed municipal govern
ments soon would end, Mayor /. r.
Watkins of Henderson, told a meet
ing OF public officers here last night.
There's plenty of law ON the books
| to collect delinquent taxes he said.
1--WE don't need any more statutes. It's
merely a matter Of taking politics out
| Of tax collecting.
"But the counties and the State are
| getting taxes that are due the cities
| and towns, and it's up to the munich
palities to get men in the Legislature
to look after their interests. The dis
! tribution of taxes is unfair unde rthe
/ present set-up."
| Mayor Watkins, whose city has es-
| tablished an excellent record for tax
! collections in the past few years, was
one of the speakers at district din
ner-meeting at the Sir Walter Hotel
of the North Carolina League of Mum
| icipalities. Approximately so officials
attended the gathering, at which the
| city of Raleigh was host Mayor
| George A. Isley of Raleigh presided.
The Henderson official pointed out
that his city has collected all except
$1,000 of some 100000 in street paw
ing assessments due to date. Business
methods were followed, just as they
were in property tax collections, he
| said. He gave much credit to Hen
derson's town clerk
In calling attention to the unfair
distribution" of taxes Mayor Watkins
cited the liquor store in Vance county
which made a profit of $4,000 in the
| first five months of operation.
/ Liquor Tax Issue
! EVERY cent of this went to the
! county and none to the city, which
| has the burden of administration" he
said.

M onfunu Farm
Debt Is Lower
Are Fewer Farms Under Mortgage
Today Than Before the
Depression.

"A smaller number of American
farms are under mortgage today
than before the depression, and in
Montana the total farm mortgage
debt is much less, according to
figures released today by the
Farm Credit administration.
Although the Farm Credit ad-
ministration has loaned over SIS
100000 on farm mortgages in
Montana since May, 1888, approx
imately 90 per cent Of the money
was used to refinance old debts
so that very little NEW indebted
ness was incurred.
The farm mortgage debt in the
state which increased from $40
$4,000 in 1910 to Sl29,200000 in
1880. dropped to s74.4l0,0Oo on
January l, 1885. Figures for the
earlier years are from the United
States department Of agriculture,
while the 1885 figures is an es-
innate of the Farm Credit ad-
miniStration.
On January l, 1886, some $780,
900 farms in the United States. or
"a percent of the total rumber,
were under mortgage, compared
to SO per cent in 1928.
Compared with previous periods,
the recent farm mortgage deot
trend is not usual. the statement
from the Farm Credit admins
tration points out During periods
of high income. the farm mort
gage debt in the United States
;,,o 10 ~ ok
in periods of depression. The
increase in sales in times of
higher income, and higher prices
for farm land, tends to increase
the farm mortgage debt because
new purchasers frequently give a
mortgage for part of the purchase
price The shrinkage in the mort
gage debt during the depression
was due partly to foreclosures and
partly to repaymentS, and some
scaling down of debts by creditors
The amount of debts scaled down
in connection with farm debt re-
financing under the Farm Credit
administration was approximately
5000, 100000 in the country as a
whole, and $6,263 900 in Montana
Lower interest payments have
also helped to improve the mort
gagged farmers position. In the
country as a whole, the percent
age of gross farm income required
to pay interest on mortgage debt
increased from 4.6 per cent in
1929 to SO per cent in 1882. but
by 1885 it dropped to As per cent,
the lowest level in ten years.
Montana farmers have benefited
additionally by the recent trend
toward lower interest rates. Those
refinanced by the Farm Credit
administration had been paying
interest rates averaging 73 per
