Solomon determined to destroy him
and Jeroboam had to fee into exile.
If he had gone Gods way to the
throne and had abided Gods time.
he might have spared himself both
danger and exile in heather land.
Perchance some one who reads
these lines is just now Ianguishing
in the exile of an Egypt of despair
because he has failed to obey God.

Turn back now, seek God in con-
fession and contrition, and if need
be, in salvation. Get back to Gods
way and enjoy His blessing.
In making application of the les.
sons learned from the life of Jero-
hoam, let us not fail to point out
that all down through the historical
records he is referred to repeatedly
as the man who made Israel to

NO DERRICKS

The world is full O. ruts, my boy,
Some shallow and some deep;
An every rut is full of folks as
High as they can heap.
Each one that's growing in the

Is growing at his fate,
An wishing he had got his chance
Before it was too late.
They lay it all on someone else,
Say twas just their luck
They never once consider that

But here's the word O. one that's

Clean through, from soup to

here is no debate in Italy, where the Fascist Grand
Council has just approved scheme of education
which is to produce the new Italians" The merit OF
eachers and of textbooks consists in absolute Fascist
oyaty: and the purpose of education is defined as
not merely the moral and cultural formation OF
italian youth but also their political and warlike
preparation
OF the zeal with which the warlike preparation

Spanish Reconstruction
Cleveland Plain Dealer,

The powers overlooking important detail
their efforts to persuade Gen. Francisco Franco to
eliminate Italian and German influence from Spain
at the conclusion of the war London and Paris have
made it clear that Franco find abundant credit
their money markets to finance the reconstruction
of the war-torn Iberian Peninsula So far, however
nothing has been said by any statesman about what
compensation will be given to Germany and Italy for
their aid to the Insurgent cause.
Italy, it is known, expects colonial territory from
France the price of withdrawing from Spain. Ger
many, too may press colonial demands on Britain.
Unless they satisfied with some such compensa-
ton there to believe that they will leave
Spain to her devices To expect them to leave
just at Frances request because Britain and France
wish them to is to expect too much.
Franco, the key man in the situation, has not yet
committed himself In the past the Insurgents have
promised the elimination of foreign influence Franco
however, has refused to accept the three-pont pro-
gram the evacuation of foreign volunteers pledging
reprisals Spaniards and eliminating foreign
influence basis for truce He demands
conditional surrender A full military victory would
put him in much stronger position than negotiated
peace. That he will eventually listen to London and
Paris however is almost because he must have
foreign financing.
1t is estimated that $4,000 900 900 will be needed
to rebuild Spain This is heavy debt, almost $500
for every Spaniard Germany cannot supply it.
Italy has her own financial troubles The nation or
influence in the future Spain for long time to come.

LAND

A reminder Of just how new and undeveloped Is
this Territory of is found in new report OF the
General Land Office showing that of the 378l6576o
acres in Alaska only 1886 have been surveyed
We haven't even had look, SO to speak, at SO
percent plus of our Territory.
Great riches certainly, awaiting Alaskans IN
those 376 925 unsurveyed When we speak OF
lust having scratched the surface of Alaskas re-
source about right.
Public lands that is the domain which has been
acquired by the Governments of the United States by
treaty cession purchase and which has not been
released to private ownership since, amount to 346,-
174242 in Alaska. That is almost as large an
of public domain as remains in all the rest OF
the United States That total is 404174242 acres
Alaska was the last great addition to the United
States public domain the vast territory having been
picked up by Uncle Sam in 1867 at price of about
e1o of a cent per acre This the Nations great
est bargain California, Nevada Utah and parts OF
Colorado wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico were
purchased from Mexico in 1848 for about Az cents
per acre The Mississippi purchase from France con-
sistng of the area of Arkansas Missouri, Kansas

Texas 20A and the "Gadsden Purchase, comprising
portions of Arizona and New Mexico So cents per
acre
Large of Alaska seem destined never to be
developed The administration of the public domain,
once one of development. has undergone very de-
cided change in recent years.
To-day" according to the Land Office publica-
ton conservation rather than disposal is the domi
nant note in activities of the General Land Office
and. with some exceptions, the public lands may
now be disposed of only after appropriate classifi-
cation
"In other words, the ndiscrimnate ALLEGATION OF
tracts of public domain is longer made on the
contrary the Secretary of the Interior must decide
that land applied for is suitable for the use to
which it proposed to be put, before the ALLEGATION
is made"
Alaska joined the Nation too late to participate
in the EARLIER policy OF land development Nation
which had extended its borders in comparatively few
years the Atlantic the Pacific paused to con-
slider the future and decided Alaska should be store
house of natural resources
In addition to 346 242 of public land,
there is reserved in Alaska today 1939,493 acres in
Mount Mckinley National Park, 1164,800 acres in

aside in Nasonal Forests

Since Adolf Hitler into some slight pronlin-

text unless they happened to know German An edi-
ton of "Men Kampf' in English has been available
but it is condensed and incidentally expurgated. Pre-
sumably the publication of complete translation of

authors unwillingness to have it published here.
In approximately week there will appear in
America not full edition of "Men Kampf' but

complete translation of Hitlers revealing opus
thrust into the luxury of having two Independently
made TRANSACTIONS from which to choose.
Advance information about them suggests that
there will be to stew and fret about which
to buy-if one wants to read MY Struggle" in the
language of Shakespeare. One edition is the work
of several able scholars and is heavily annotated for
the edfication of the reader This is the edition
authorized by the German publisher-and presumably
therefore by the widely known author.
The other edition is issued under the theory that
there is valid copyright. To put it in the worst
light, it is pirated edition. To the best terms,
it has the welcome feature that royalties it will
be paid to the author whose personal needs under
stand are very simple. This edition has minimum
of annotations and undertakes be the exact English
equivalent of the volume millions of Germans have
read and still read.
Unlike Germans we in America to have a

unlike Germans, we are under no compuSion to be-
lieve what we read With two simultaneous, Compel
