When Martin Luther wrote his ia.

he stated in his sixty-second theis
THE true and precious treasure OF
the Church is the Holy Gospel of the
glory and grace of God"
The Bible is indeed a treasure that
is not only precious in itself but it
also enriches every one who poss-
esses it.
No man who possesses Bible can
truely call himself a poor man. A
poor man is one who Is devoid of
wealth. Amy man who possesses a
Bible is not such a man because he
has in his hands one of the great
est treasures. In the world-the Word
of God to man!
The Bible is the most astounding
book ever written. 1t even speaks to
a man without being opened. Let
him do no more but glance at the
cover and it will speak to his soul.
No man can read its pages with
0ut becoming a better man for so
loing. Not only will he become a
better man, but he will become a |
'icher man. He will be richer in !
bought, in vision, in heart.
In that Bible are truths, precepts,

MORE ADVERTISING

The automobile New Year is re-

OF the way that there will be contin-
uous stability In employment and pro-
duction. Everything, so far as pos
sible has been stabilized in Americas
number one industry. So the mark
is set for five million new cars for
the coming year. One of the factors
depended upon to reach that goal
is more advertising in the newspa-
pers. Buick, for instance, announced
at the New York show, that it would
reach its peak in lineage during the
coming months. The 1888 advertise

about "straws in the wind that prove |

MORE GOOD ROADS NEEDED

With more than 100000 miles of
rural highways totally unimproved,
with less than 100000 hard-surfaced
miles in the total rural mileage of
100000; with highway fatalities
mounting each year until they are
expected to pass the 10000 mark in
1887, and with state legislatures di-
vertirg almost $200,000,00O from
their highway funds TO totally un-
related purposes, President Roose-
velt believes that the time has come
to cut federal highway aid TO the
pre-depression figure.
The national governments appor-
tionment to highways has, in the
past few years, grown to over $780,
100000 annually. Even this has not
proved sufficient to bring our high
way system up to the demands of
modern traffic. Sixty per cent OF the
nations 3O,000,000 farm people live
on unimproved dirt roads, unable to
send their produce to market or
their children to school in bad wea-
ther. But the President intends to
ask Congress to appropriate only
sS0,0O0,OO0 or $90,O00,000 for high
ways.
The automotive industry has no
intention of reducing motor-vehicle
production TO the 1929 level. Faster
and more powerful cars in greatly
increased numbers are being poured
onto our already overcrowdcd high
ways. Neither will the highway-user
mortality rate drop to the pre-de-
preston figure while our highway
system lags far behind modern |
needs. But the President wants !
Congress to keep the highway ap- |
under s100,000,00.
Many states are crfppling their
highway system by the misappropri-
alton Of highway money to ether
uses. Congress, the highest tribu-
nal in the land next to the Supreme
court. has pronounced this practice
both unjust and unwise by passing
he Hayden-Cartwright Road Act of
1884, which penalties states that
misuse their highway revenues by
from them federal high
way money. But the federal govern
rent has itself in the past 30 years
