MOSCOW.-Stalin has got a bigger
problem in the next IL months than
he has yet faced. It may even be
q crisis. He has got to do something
about wages and prices - wages so
low and prices so high that they
don't meet.

had will help him . lot. The great
accomplishments Of industrializing
the country, collectivizing the peasants
and building the Red Army will help
him, too. But they may not help
enough.

TRIBUTE TO HOWARD ADRIAN

| Recently this paper carried an ac-
count Of the death of Howard
| Adrian, Columbus, former school
teacher in this county. At the flu
neral services, Rev. Mr.. Butler of
| the Linden M. e. church, officiated.
! Many floral tributes testified to the
high esteem in which the deceased
was held. Interment was in Me-
mortal Park. The following tribute
was prepared and read at the fu-
neral by Rev. Butler:
All who have gathered here
relatives, fellow workman, neighbors
and other friends, have come to ex-
press sympathy to the family and
to pay tribute to man who is al
together worthy of such tribute.
Howard Adrian was man who bore
acquaintance. 1t took time to plumb
the depths of his friendship. When
you truly knew him, you discovered
man whose character was founded
upon a rock. The winds, rain and
floods of life beat upon him, but he.
never fell, for he was founded upon
rock. The marks of Christian
virtue were clearly legible in his
life. He suffered with patience and
only when circumstances seemed to
demand 1t, did he give up hope OF
recovery and ask retirement from
his tasks at the postoffice. Those
best fitted to judge a man should be
those with whom he works day by
day. All who worked with Mr..
Adrian testify to his spirit OF
friendliness, his constant helpful CO.
operation, his faithfulness in per-
formance of duty, and his unfair
nished personal integrity. His in
innate friends and work fellows
might say as Anthony in praise OF
Brutus-.'This was the noblest OF
them ALL" his life was gentle and
the elements so mixed in him that
nature might stand up and say to
all the world "This was a man."
His firmness of character might we'll
be expressed in the words of Po-
lonius to his son Taertes, ''Thfs
above all, to thine own self be true
and it must follow, as the night the
day, thou canst not then be false to
any man"
Mr.. Adrian knew and appreciated
the value of music in the life Of the
church. Possessed of voice of un-
usual beauty, he would but for cir
cumstances beyond his control, have
been loyal member of the choir of
the church. His prayer may we'll
have been 80 may / join the choir
invisible of those immortal dead
who live again" Mr.. Adrian believ-
in Jesus as his Savior and in God as
Father, and in his own life practic-
ed the attributes of fatherly love.
His wife and sons were his CHIEF
concern in life. Happiness for him
meant the development of his sons
into Christian men of character and
vision who were prepared to do
worth while work in the world. He
would now admonish us 'Though 1
walk through the valley and shadow
of death I will fear no evil IL
love is true then safely man may
dream his dreams" May scale his
heights and plumb his depths, may
bridge his streams if love is true,
then beauty breathes with Gods
own breath forevermore. If love Is
true there is no death.

GARDEN SCHOOL

Victor Refs, the extension flori-
culturist specialist of Ohio State
University will be in McConnelsville
Tuesday, Nov. Is, for garden
school to be held at the Methodist
Episcopal church at 1880 p. m. Mr..
Refs will discuss what You Can
Still Plant This Fall" This garden
school will be real opportunity
coming at this time of the year, be-
cause there is so much planting that
could be done in the fall and so lit
tie that is actually done. When you
stop to realize that fall weather is
ideal for planting, that the soil in
the fall Is usually in much better
condition for digging, than 1t is in
the spring, and that all the plants
that you buy are freshly dug rather
than having been stored in storage
cellars over winter, as in the case
of many trees and shrubs, there is
much to be gained by fall planting.
Even roses, which we formerly
thought should only be planted in
the spring, cannot only be safely
planted during November, but ad-
vantageously planted at this time.
This garden school, as we'll as 9TH
er phases of the extension program,
is open to the public, and you are
cordially invited to attend. Perhaps
you are having some gardening
problems, be sure and bring any
questions with you and Mr.. Refs
will be glad to try to answer them
for you. Don't forget the date,
Tuesday afternoon, Nov. Is, at 1880
O'Clock, and the place, Methodist

This is not SO much specific COM

The Sacredness of Human Life
Exodus 2O:13; Matthew 5:21-26
38--42, for Sunday, Nov. 13:
The disregard for human life is
so shocking that the commandment
Thou shalt not kill" needs stress.
ing.
v. 13. "Thou shalt not kill. =
Mans most valuable possession is
his life, and to rob one of his life is
the most henious crime. The fact
that man was made in the image CT
God with eternal possibilities marks
him with sacred personality
which is always of first considera-
tion.
". 21. aye have heard that it
was said to them of old, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill
shall be in danger of judgment. !"
Jesus starts with the teachings OF
Old Testament leaders.
v. %. "But l say unto you, that
whosoever is angry with his brother
without cause shall be in danger
Of the judgment; and whosOever
shall say to his brother, Raca, shall
be in danger of the council; but who
in danger of hell fire." Jesus speaks
with divine authority. He goes to
the root of murder in not allowing a
place for any expression that Will
produce anger and resentment IN
another. In calling another "Raca'
-blockhead-or fool is to destroy
ones reputation as to right THINK
ing and right motives.
VS.. %, "a ''If therefore thou
are offering thy gift at the altar,
and there rememberest that thy
brother hath ought against thee,
leave there thy gift, and go thy way,
first be reconciled to thy brother,
and then come and offer thy gift. .
No one can commune with God who
allows bitterness toward another or
does not do his full duty in remov-
ing the bitterness of another to-
ward him. Reconciliation is the
way to God. True worship calls for
self-examination not only once but
continually to make sure that all
obstacles to right relations with God
and man are removed. There is
here also the idea of reparation. All
efforts must be made to make
wrongs right.
". Is. "Agree with thine adver-
sary quickly, while thou art with
him in the way; lest happy the ad-
yersary deliver thee to the Judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the Of.
ficer, and thou be cast into prison.
Shining against another is regarded
as a debt, concerning which the
language of the law courts is used.
The debtor had better come to terms
before judgment is pronounced.
Likewise the one who is at enmity
with another had better be recon-
ciled before the Almighty pro-
nounces judgment.
v. 26. 'sVerily I say unto thee,
Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, until thou hast paid the ut
termost farthing" Inasmuch as
person in such place would have
no opportunity Of paying, it is diff
cult to avoid the conclusion that
our Lord meant to teach that, TOT
the unforgiven man, there is no pos
sibility of ever exhausting the pen
