A church in Chiengmai, Siam, is
said to have 400 members and ev-
cry one tither. Their income is
less than 20 cents week per cap

ary families. They look after the
unfortunate of their own commun-
ity.
A copy of the great Mainz Bible,
printed in the year 1852 by John
Fust and Peter Schoeffer, is care
fully guarded in the National Lii
brary of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This
Bible consists Of two volumes,
printed on vellum, and the initial
letters of books and chapters, as
we'll as all capital letters, are hand
designed and painted in rich blue
and red. Fust and Schoeffer were
at one time associated with the pio-
neer printer, John Gutenberg, who
was born in Mainz, Germany. Schol-
ars believe this Mainz Bible was the
fourth edition of the Scriptures to
be printed.

! flame because it is overcapped and
1t therefore fails to tighten a way
over which men may travel. One
with bad habits fails to cast out an
influence for good which might be
an encouragement for others to live
better life. 1t takes positive life
with bad habits in the discard that
casts forth the light of life which
comes from the Light of the world
with whose contact the true light is
scattered throughout the world.
VS.. 1920. ''Ye shall know them
by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes Of thorns, or figs of thistles? :?
Even so, every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit. Every
tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire. Wherefore by their fruits
We shall know them" Useless trees
are felled and fired. Fruit is the dis
tinguishing trait of good, fruit
bearing tree. Good trees bear good
fruit, bad trees bear bad fruit; no
one wants bad fruit and so the prop
er thing is to cut down the tree
frult reveals the tree; conduct re-
veals character. Fundamentally
any thing that undermines char
acter makes for bad fruit and
neither the bad fruit or the one
that produces it is wanted in good
society.
VS.. 6, Z. Now these things were
our examples, to the intent that we
should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted Neither be ye
idolaters as were some of them: as
1T is written the people sat down to
eat and drink and rose up to play"
Useless men are ineffective, un-
faithful and evil. To 'Iust after
evil things" is not only to live in
vain but actually to lose life here
and miss the larger life hereafter.
Useless men are virtual idolaters
serving the gods of this world and
not the true and living God. There
is no place for useless men any
where.

CATS EYES SHINE, BUT DO
NOT MAKE LIGHT

In the back of the eye of cat, as
we'll as some other animals, there is
a mirroring surface, called tape
tum. Even in very feeble light
the mirror-like mem brane will cause
the cats eye to ''shine in the dark. "
However, points out the Better Wis
ion Institute, there must be some
light for the cats eye to reflect, for
the animals eye merely reflects and
does not generate light That is
easily demonstrated by looking at a
cat in photographers dark room.
In such a place devoid of light the
eye of a cat does not shine.

BLACKBOARD" IN THE WILDERNESS

The mystery of why MT. and Mrs. Charles Fowler took along a load of lampblack when they trekked out to their mining camp on Nugget Creek several months ago was solved recently.
 Pilot Bob Ausley, returning to Fairbanks from Pine Creek, eX- perienced a sudden start when a huge blackboard swept into view at the mouth of Nugget Creek, a tributary to the south fork of the Cinema.
 In one low circle, he determin ed that the blackboard" was a huge canvas placard with white letters painted in characters al most a foot high.
 Ausley shopped in Fairbanks for cigarettes, coffee, dry fruit, potatoes, onions, and carrots to be delivered to the FoWlers at Mug get Creek.

Stratoliners Planned For Alaska in Year

Thirty-tWo passenger strato- liners hurling themselves above the weather in the fractional part of a day - between Fair banks and Seattle a year from now, if conditions remain nor mai and otherwise probably two years from now is announced by H. M. Bixby, vice president of the Pan American AirWays, wis itor recently in Nome with a party of distinguished aviation officials.
 Such a service is what we have in mind, declared MT. Blk by, "and we hope to have the way cleared soon so that we can go ahead with all necessary ar engagements. The chief necessity now is proper landing fields and auxiliary services. Alaska's pres ent commercial fields will not suffice for landings and take-offs of ships of the size and power we would operate.
 Fairbanks will be our north ern objective and landing place under normal conditions, and Seattle our southern, and we will land at Metlakatla, Ketchikan and Juneau.

Field Needs

"We must have long concrete runways. Dirt fields would not sustain the planes and their loads. Not only proper field at Fairbanks is desired, but also fields at Anchorage, and possibly at Tanacross or vicinity, and pos sibly at McGrath or some other point in the KuskokWim valley and one or two other northern and western Alaskan points"
 MT. BiXby intimated that the army fields will be made avail able for the stratoliners.
 We need different fields in this section of Alaska said Mir. Bixby, "so that if weather is not suitable for landing in one sec ton we can fan out over an al ternate route for a sure landing Fields now being installed or planned in southeastern Alaska, including Metlakatla will be a great help. It is not likely we will be interested in adjacent Canadian territory, as it is desir- ed to develop an All-American

Bedtime Stories
Nv THORNTON w. BURGj

Dy OAN W.
Everybody-that is, everybody but
Old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox
was on hand for Billy Mink's big
meeting at the old hickory tree on
the bank of the Smiling Pool just
after sunset. Some of the littIest
folks were a wee bit sleepy, for they
usually go to bed when jolly, round,
red Mr.. Sun puts his nightcap on
and goes down before the Purple
Hills. They yawned and rubbed
their eyes, but they came just the
same. You see, 1t was such an i'm
portant meeting that they just had
to be there.
Billy Mink wore his finest suit
of brown, with black trimmings.
He sat upon an old log and tried
to look very important.
Friends and neighbors," said
Billy Mink, there are very dark
days on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest. Nobody knows
what dreadful thing may happen If
Farmer Browns Boy keeps tramp
ing over the Green Meadows and
through the Green Forest with his
dreadful gun and Bowser the
Hound. Either we shall all have to
move away or we must think of some
plan to stop Farmer Browns Boy
from hunting. You all know whose
fault it is-the fault of Reddy Fox"
When he said that everybody
groaned, and if Reddy Fox had been
there to hear he certainly would
have felt very uncomfortable.
If Reddy Fox had not tried to
be smart and show off by stealing
the pet chicken of Farmer Browns
Boy in broad daylight, Farmer
Browns Boy would never have
thought of getting out his gun and
hunting at this time of the year.
Now he isn't hunting for us, and
he doesn't mean us any harm. but
you all know how thoughtless and
careless boys are, and if he should
happen to see one CT us, Just as
likely as not he might shoot at us
for fun. Now what are we going
to do about it?"
For a few minutes no one said
a word. Every one was thinking,
thinking hard. Then Danny Meadow
Mouse piped up in a shrill little
voice:
Does anybody know where Reddy
Fox is living now since he and
Granny Fox were obliged to move
from their old home on the Green
Meadows?"
Every one looked at every one
else, and no one spoke. You see
i Old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox
had moved in the night very secretly
Finally, OF Mistah Buzzard cleared
his voice
"Ah reckon All know where they
alls are and SO does Prickly Porky,"
said he.
"Where?" demanded everybody at
once.
OF Mistah Buzzard shook his
head. "Yoalls will have to tell me
first what yo'alls want to know for"
said he.
Just so; what do you want to
know for?" asked Prickly Porky.
L just thought that If Farmer
Browns Boy knew where they are
living he would stop hunting" said
Danny Meadow Mouse in a very
small voice.
For a long time not another word
was said. Every one was thinking
OF the same thing. and it was a
very dreadful thought. No one
loved Reddy Fox, but no one really
wanted to have him shot. And still
no one else wanted to be shot, and
there was always danger of that so
long as Farmer Browns Boy was
roaming around with that dreadful
gun.

Destroy Web Worm

Fall web-worms often make fruit
and ornamental trees unsightly be-
cause of the webs which they spin
and which they enlarge from time
to time as food or room is required,
until sometimes three feet long. The
mature caterpillars drop to the
ground late in the season and form
cocoons under stones or rubbish,
turning into moths when spring
comes. Early spraying with arsen-
