been called in on the case by men,
bers of the army intelligence service
who closely watch factories handling
government airplane contracts.
McDonough was reported to have
been taken into custody by fedora!
agents and deputy United States
marshals. He was locked in the
county Jail in lieu of $4,000 bail.
A spokesman for the Douglas
company reported that McDonough
had been discharged by the organ
ization several weeks ago and since
then has been under the sur
veillance of federal agents.
The company representative de-
clined to amplify his remarks, say
ing any statement on the case re-
garding details of the alleged theft
must come from the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation which is now
in charge of the investigation.
R. B. Hood, chief FBI agent for
southern California, refused to dis
cuss McDonough's arrest. 1t was
understood, however, that the case
would be presented to the federal
grand jury next Wednesday and
that federal prosecutors may ask
for indictments involving more seri-
GUS charges than theft of the draw
ings.

LYLE SPENCER
Wooden Money
q Western Newspaper Union.

THERE have been times in our
l. country when wooden money
was accepted as readily as ordinary
currency.
Back in December, 1881, the Citi-
zen's bank of Tenino, Wash, sud-
denly closed its doors, leaving the
town merchants without sufficient
cash to carry on their business. For
a time, all business was at a stand
still, for although stores had the
goods their customers needed, nei-
Their one had enough cash to carry
out transa ctions.
Just as things began to look very
bad indeed, the resourceful cham
Der of commerce saved the day with
a novel idea. Through their plan, a
depositor in the closed bank could
assign to the chamber a certain
amount of his proven deposit in
exchange for a similar amount of
script, which the chamber guaran-
teed to redeem when the bank as
sets were liquidated.
The first scrip was printed on
Autographed sheets in denomina-
tons of Is cents, so cents, 81, S., and
$40 by the Thurston County indie
pendent in December, 1881. This
plan worked fairly well, but the mer-
chants said they still needed more
change and it was inconvenient for
customers to carry around small
Is cent bills.
So the heads of the chamber got
to work again and brought out in
February, 1882, some real wooden
money in IS cent, SO cent, and 81
denominations. The money was
printed on 3-ply sitka spruce. 1Ais
safely carried the town over it's.
financial crisis, and now the wooden
money is worth several times its
face value to coin collectors. =

lis
Christians are not only the
called of Jesus Christ" but are also
"called saints (ROm. 1:6. y. Peter
had the same thing in mind when
he lin v. g of our lesson says that
we ARE thereunto called" Let us
remember that when we are tempt
ed to say that we do not profess to
be saints DIR. James Denney
once remarked how odd it would
look to see in the New Testament
the statement. I don't pretend to
be a saint. It would be tantamount
to saying, I do not take the call
of God very seriously and | do not
profess to live up to it. When Coo
calls, our answer is not a matter
of Indifference and . not mat
ter of presumption. 1t is not
life for which we volunteer, or on
which we adventure of our own mo-
ton, or which we have to carry
through our own resources; II Is
life for which we have a divine
summons, and that summons is our
Justification (Arnold's Common
tary) All believers are called to
live a consistent, powerful, useful
Christian life. and God makes such
life possible.
1. Living for Christ wv 8-12).
To live for Christ one must be
born again into the position OF
true believer Peter was not so
foolish as to urge that his readers
try to live a Christian life without
first being born into the family OF
God. He therefore lays founda-
ton for his exhortations by discuss
ing in the early chapters Of his
epistle the atonement of Christ and
the position of the believer. Then
he gives specific instructions to GER
tain groups, leading up to the gen.
eral plea for Christian life and testi-
mony.
l. Among brethren ". 81. Know
ing what Christ has done for us, 1t
might well be assumed that all OF
us who are His followers would love
one another and do nothing but that
which would promote Christian fell
lowship. But human nature pre-
walls even in the Church, and some
times displays it's worst side there.
Hence we need to consider this ius
struction of Peter that we cultivate
unity, sympathy, and love among
the brethren. Observe that this is
not just pious platitude which we
may take or leave 1t states our
obligation to one another as Chris
tians. Whatever others may do or
say, let us be clear that we have
obeyed this word of God.
2. With unbelievers wv. Gid.
God has called us to live peaceably
with all men. We will not cure
evil by returning for it more evil
If our ungodly neighbors or fellow
workers mistreat us by word or
deed, we are not to retaliate in
kind. We are to control our tongues
how much we need to learn that
lesson. We are not to be tricky
and deceitful, not to look for fight,
but to seek peace.
3. For our own good ". 12). What
blessed assurance we find here for
the believer. The eyes Of the Lord
are upon both the good and the
evil in the world. He knows. Con-
slider also the promise of bless
ing" in verse 8, of seeing good
days" in verse 10, the assurance of
peace in verse IL. 1t is not only
honoring to God, but good for us
to live as Christians.

The average freight haul by the

The bell on a steam locomotive
in a majority of instances, is now
operated automatically.
The average tractive power of
railroad locomotives in this cOun-
try is now 81 per cent greater
than in 1920.
II. Suffering for Christ CVV.13-1S)
Peter was writing to those who
were bearing bitter persecution be-
cause they followed Christ. Per-
haps some were tempted to say
then as they do now, eff there really
is God, if Christianity amounts to
anything at all, certainly believers
would not be permitted to suffer at
the hands of enemies of Christ"
Let us be clear that being a Chris
tan in no way exempts us from
the common experiences of human
ity, nor does it assure us that we
will not have to bear persecution
and suffering. But (and here is a
point of greatest importance), we
are able to meet such difficulties in
the name of Christ without fear
or encouragement, for God is with
us.
1. Not afraid wv. Is, 40. The
martyr spirit has not died out in the
earth, and there are those in our
day who stand unafraid before die
tators and rulers who would destroy
them because of their loyalty to
Christ. BE not afraid"
2. Not discouraged wv. 15-1O.
The one who knows Gods Word
and every Christian ought to know
ID can give answer ". 49, concern
ing his faith. Note that if we are
punished for our own wrongdoing
we may well be depressed, but if
we meet persecution with a clear
conscience ". 16) we need feel no
Encouragement.
8. Not alone ". 18). The path
may be dark and difficult, but one
thing we know, our Leader, Christ,
walked an even darker and more
desolate road. He it is who is now
with us, yes, in us Remember that
Christ also hath once suffered ".
I'D and 90 m your way in victory.
