 Editor of Advance

One recalls in connection with this lesson the words of Jesus to Peter, Simon, Simon, Satan hath desired to have thee that he may sift thee as wheat, but I have pray ed for thee that thy faith fail not When thou are converted, streng- then thy brethren"
 Here we have a strengthened and regenrated Peter, fulfilling this ad- monition of his Master, bringing his word of exhortation to Christian liv- ing to the sorely pressed and tempted disciples in the early church, and telling them how they may find the strength and help which he himself has found.
 The religious experience that he urges upon them is common ex- perience of those who are "like- minded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humble minded" Christians, he reminds them, do not render evil for evil or reviling for reviling. On the con- trary, they render good for evil, and it is for this that God has called them out of His own infinite grace and mercy.

Farm Woman Kept Records for Fun
and Found Both Fun and Profit

Several years ago we thought the
more cows we MIXED the more pro-
fits we would have. Then came a
year my husband and I were short
Of feed. This meant either buy
feed, or sell some of the cows. We
decided to sell cows. At the time
we were milking Is. We culled
our herd down to II. OF course we
sold the poorest ones but at the
time we thought this terrible
loss. You can well imagine our sur
prise when at the end of the year,
comparing records, our 11-cow herd
had actually brought more profits
above the cost of feed than our 10
cow herd had the previous year. So
why not milk fewer cows-but bet
ter cows-for bigger profits, and
at the same time help solve this
over-production problems?
Try keeping records for just one
year and I am certain you will new.
err again want to farm any other
way. 1t makes farming so much
more interesting, and certainly
more profitable.-Farm Credit Mes.

CIVIL SERVICE URGED
From Our EXCHANGES

CIVIL SERVICE URGED
AS a result of the report of the
Senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures, Senator
Hatch CD of New Mexico, whose
effort last June to penalize the
use of relief funds for political
purposes was defeated, now de-
clares that civil service for all gov
eminent employees is the only an
swer to the problem.
The investigating committee
found that in several states, and
notably in Kentucky, Tennessee
and Pennsylvania, relief funds were
diverted to the aid of candidates
for office. The committee was COM
posed of four Democrats and one
Republican.
When the Hatch amendment to
the relief appropriation was be-
fore the last Congress, warning
was given that its defeat would
be a signal for politics to enter re-
lief on a large scale, yet the amend
ment was voted down. What fol-
lowed proved that the warning was
well founded.
Commenting on this matter, Miss
Marguerite M. Wells, president of
the National League of Women
Voters, urged that "the employees
Of government, from top to bottom,
including the administrative per-
sonnet of the relief organization, be
placed under the classified civil
service, where they will be appoint
ed by the favor Of no man, and owe
political support to no man."
While the civil service itself Is
not perfect, it is the best system
yet devised to protect government
employees from exploitation by pol
iticians. 1t should be strengthened
and extended.-Ex.

Winter Best Time
For Cutting Wood

The farmer who cuts timber and
lumber during winter has better
opportunity to get a good product
than the one who waits until warm
err weather arrives, says Parker 0.
Anderson, extension forester, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul.
Wood cut during the winter sea-
sons more slowly, with less check
ing than that cut during the sum-
mer. Furthermore, fungus and in
sects do not attack wood stored out
doors in cold weather, and when
spring comes the wood Is partly
seasoned and less susceptible to at
tack. Winter cutting Is a boon for
the farmer who does not have the
proper facilities for storing and
piling his wood products, for 1t les.
sens the danger of their becoming
unmarketable or unsuitable for the
purpose intended.

WARNING TO BOYS

Boys are warned to refrain from
extinguishing the flares on the
sewer job on Birch. This is a dan
gerous practice and may cause
serious injury to someone. Drastic
action will be taken if boys contin-
ue to put out these flares. Boys
are also asked to cooperate with
the workmen and refrain from
playing around or jumping into
the bitches, as it causes extra work
of removing dirt pushed into the
bitches through such action. This
practice is also dangerous.
Signed, Chief of Police.

ICE "A INCHES THICK

Despite warm" weather that
threatened to delay the ice har-
vest, H. F. Bastien reported this
week that ice had gone to a depth
of "a inches, and the harvest was
under way. Icemen like at least
"a inches Of ice. Good quality de-
scribes the ice sheet on Sank Lake
this year, he said. Early in Deem
Der when only 10 inches of ice had
been on the lake, it was thought
the harvest might be late. With the
sheds almost full, it is reported the
harvest is earlier than in several
years when mid-February caught
up with the operations. About
10000 5O0-pound cakes are being
taken from the lake and hoisted
into the sheds with crew of from
Is to IS men working.
