of him and told of other heroics
that the horse has to his credit.
About three years ago." Franco
said, zone of the dude ranches near
my place borrowed Dick for use of
their guests. A bunch of the dudes
went out for ride and when they
came back, all the horses were herd
ed into corral some distance away
from the ranch house.
We'll, for. some reason they for
got all about those six horses being
out there. For three days the ami
mails stayed there without food or
water. On the third day, Dick jump
ed up the side of the carral, got
his front quarters over the wooden
fence and kicked open a faucet on
the outside. When all the water ran
out of the tank, the folks at the
ranch house investigated and ma
turally were lead to the corral to
find the half starved animals.
But Dicks exploits aren't con-
fined solely to equine life saving
He is, Franco says. pretty fair
runner, having lost only 7 out OF
so races he has run at various
various county fairs for a total
purse of about $1,000.
He's also good rope horse,
Franco said. Hes valuable ami
NAL to have on a roundup
The news of Dicks heroics had
resulted in many offers from pros
pactive buyers but Franco refuses
to part with the animal.

German Food. Clothing on,
List Regulate q by War

BERLIN, Nov. Is. CUP)-Soy
beans. grown in the United States
mostly for forage and soil improve
ment. have been added to the Ger
man soldiers diet to make up for a
deficiency in fats and eggs.
The Germans struggle for raw
materials, particularly fats. needed
both for war industry and food, has
been demonstrated by the formation
of company at Frankfurt on the
Main to operate seven factories pro-
ducing synthetic fats.
Soy beans now are being imported
all the way from Manchukuo over
the tranS-Siberian railway, through
Russia.
Some soy beans will be used in
the production of crude oils, gly-
cerin and varnish. One factory will
be devoted to processing the beans
and straw into cellulose, which will
be used in explosives and synthetic
fibers.
The newspaper Deutsche Allge-
meine says soy bean extracts have
added to the army's 10 basic foods
barley, noodles. flour, potatoes. rice,
conServes, peas, lentil, cabbage and
turnipS.
Germans will have to clothe
themselves henceforth on 100

there is an elastic demand, such as

Garst commented that farmers
businessmen. and those of us who
work for the government have
learned that we can get better re-
suits by tackling a tough job to-
gether."
Because of the ever changing
conditions OF our economic Sys-
TEN. the stamp plan can best serve
the general welfare if it is contract
ed to a mere skeleton in times of
great prosperity but kept alive Sc
that it can be expanded in times of
depression to help cushion the
shock"
Garst concluded, saying:
This stamp plan project has re-
ceived splendid support from all
branches of the food trades, from
farm organizations, from local
chambers OF commerce. from public
and welfare officials in the various
states, and from the persons using
the stamps to secure an additional
two and one-ralf cents worth of

Lesson Text: Matthew 1925;
1916; 19:13-15

1t is most appropriate that one
of the most beautiful lessons in
all of the New Testament comes
in one of the most beautiful sea-
SONS of all the Christian calendar.
AS all of us get ready to observe
Christmas Day, with its gift-giv-
ing and gift-receiving and its
happy associations with child
hood and children we should be
sure that we have made ready
our hearts for his coming, in or
der that it may not be said of US
that there was no room" for
Him in our lives.
The story of the birth of Jesus
begins in the Garden of Eden,
where, after succumbing to the
temptation to sin, Adam and Eve
became separated from God and
it became necessary for them to
be saved from their sin. All
through the subsequent ages, by
various means, God tried to bring
man back to Him. These human
instrumentalities proved of very
little consequence and it became
wise, in the providence of God,
to send His only begotten son
into the world, in order that the
link which had been broken
could be welded again.
Jesus emphasized time and
again the supreme value of chill
dren. Our lesson this week gives
us several occasions when Jesus
showed special attention to a child
or to children. In the first, he
used little child to rebuke the
selfish ambition, the envious
pride and the self-seeking spirit
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT which had
caused his disciples to argue as
to which one would be greatest

in the kingdom which they
thought Jesus had come to es-
tablish. With a little child, Je-
suS emphasized the desirability
of humility, love and unselfish-
ness if one would even be a
part of the new order he came
to establish.
Since children and child-like
adults are kingdom people of the
first rank, it naturally follows
that befriending them will be
blest and offending even one of
the least of them will be con-
sidered as great an offense as of
Tending the King himself. Jesus
pronounced a terrible curse upon
any who mistreat lone of these
little ones who believe in me-.
In this connection, our modern
age might do well to consider the
perils to which our youth are
constantly exposed-the encour-
agement of infidelity, immortality,
unWise living through the exam
Piles being set by the adults all
around them.
On another occasion, Jesus was
busy with the multitude, teach
ing, healing and preaching.
Crowds pressed upon him wher-
ever he went and he had very
little opportunity even to eat or
rest. 1t is little wonder, then,
that when the mothers, bringing
their little children to him to be
blessed, were practically ordered
away by the weary disciples,
who felt that Jesus had more
important things to do than to
be bothered with a number OF
children.
However, upon seeing the chill
dren, Jesus rebuked the disciples
and, in one of his most beautiful
sayings, invited the children to
come to him. Suffer little chill
dren, and forbid them not, to
come unto me: for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. Calling
them to him, he laid his hands
on their heads and blessed them.
How much better it would be
for the world if we all could pos
sess the child-like faith and sin
cere love of a little child!
