God is against every false proph-
ct. Small wonder that there is the
SAVIOUR of death in their speaking
and their works. There is no divine
power in their message and no holy
dynamic to enable people to respond
to their admonitions. Prominent
modernists are decrying in our day
the fact that their cultured essays
and polished PHILOSOPHERS are not
reaching the hearts of men and are
failing to transform lives. At the
same time, humble prea cheers and
teachers of Gods Word, sometimes
in hidden and remote places, are re
joicing as they see the transforming
grace Of God come upon lives as a
result of their simple proclamation

TYPICALLY, you-the woman of
Il the farm - must prepare nearly
HOO meals a year and spend about
one-third of your time in the kitchen
performing tasks that relate directly
or indirectly to the preparation and
serving of food. Thus the kitchen is,
in truth, the workshop of your home
and, as cooking is the principal work
done there, the choice of suitable
range is of major importance to your
health and comfort.
Of all the fuels that can be used
for cooking, none offers all the adj
V3nt2GeS of electricity which include
simplicity, con an temperature,
speed, safety, cleanliness, GOODNESS
and economy. Considering the last
point first, in a recent test three COM
plete meals day for three days for
four people were cooked electrically

guesses of the audience which wit
messed the tests ranged from 9 to so
cents.
Thus was settled once and for all,
the old bugaboo that electric cook
ing is only for the very well-to-do.
With a modern low-priced electric
range-from under 500 to about 5000
depending on the size) and with
the special low power rates available
in most parts of the country, cooking

financial reach of every electrified
farm home.
This does not take into account
the fact that, with an electric range,
you need not stew and sWelter over a
hot stove; that you no longer need a
wood box; that you have no ashes to
remove; that you will not be bothered
with SCOT, smoke and CRIME; and that
you can actually cook more and bet
ter food in a fraction of the time re-
quired by older methods.
Cooking electrically, you no longer
are slave to your kitchen. Instead,
you have freedom for other things
and for rest and recreation. For, if
you like, you can put the meat, vege-
tables and even the dessert in the
oven, set the automatic time-control
clock which turns the current on and
off at the proper time, and go visiting,
take nap, finish your sewing or do
anything else you wish. Then, at
mealtime, you simply open the oven
and the food is ready to serve. ----@ssfI

Il have not sent these prophets
that should have been sufficient for
the people of judah. A man who
is not sent by God has no word from
heaven, no help for needy humanity.
He is worse than an admittedly
secular teacher or philosopher, for
he claims to speak with divine au-
thority and yet has only the disap-
pointing impotence of liar and
fraud.
The reason Judah listened to them
was because they SO eloquently
hushed the condemning voice of
their own consciences, assuring
them that all was well, when, as
matter of fact, everything was
wrong Men listen to the same kind
of teaching today for the very same

TOTALLY BLIND BUT HE SAW AGAIN

The death of j. F. Fish, retired presi-
dent of the Northwestern Business College,
in Chicago, recalls the amazing recovery
of sight that he experienced after being
totally blind for thirty years.
In 1900 he lost his sight but in 1880,
while sitting at home, he remarked to his
wife that he believed he could see the fur
niture. His sight was improved and few
days later vision was completely restored.
To an interviewer, some months later,
he described his reaction to the changed
appearances that greeted him, after thirty
years of blindness. Here is what he said:
"At breakfast the morning after
recovered my sight my wife asked me:
And do l look old and wrinkled and gray
to you | answered: No more than do
Of course, had always thought of her as
the girl she was when first lost my sight.
was shocked at the changes in myself
when held the mirror close. had grown
fleshy and wrinkled and my hair was gray.
when was last able to see the
world, women were wearing bustles and
waspwaists, men had mustaches and side
burns. I was shocked at the short skirts of
the women of today, and the wide, flat
faces of men without mustaches. But
gradually the womens styles have &C
CURED grace in my eyes, and l am begin
ming to approve of clean shaving"

A PLANNED PROGRAM

Directors of the Key West Chamber
to arouse public interest and cooperation
in general movement to bring the city
larger prestige, increased wealth and en-
plOyment for her citizens"
Suggestions for incorporation in
planned program to put Key West ahead
are to be sought from citizens generally as
one phase of the campaign to revive COM
munity interest in the Chamber of Com
merce. AS first step it is planned to
make a careful study of the conditions
here that have been responsible for the de-
velOpment of Key West to date on which
to base new city improvement and pro-
motiOnal program.
AS The Citizen has pointed out on
numerous occasions in the past, the Key
West Chamber of Commerce should oc-
cupy foremost position in the life of the
community. In the Chamber of Commerce
should be concentrated all the forces
needed to improve the tourist and rec
reational facilities of the city, enlarge the
governmental and national defense organ
izations, plan and carry forward projects
for meeting future needs, and, finally, adj
vertise Key West as a tourist and vacation
center.
Too many of our citizens have for
gotten that it takes steady planning and
careful and concerted civic action to make
a tourist city out of what once was an i'm
portant industrial community. Cham
Der of Commerce that functions along
those lines is serving every interest in the
city, the worker, the householder, the
employer, the businessman and the tax
payer
Without a well-supported Chamber
of Commerce the progress of Key West
will be retarded, so that more progressive
communities, with fewer natural ad
vantages and attractions, will forge ahead
of us. No city can hope to advance along
the line toward economic independence
unless it has well-supported Chamber of
Commerce.
The Citizen hopes that the present eff
fort launched by the Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce bears the fruit of
widespread public interest and support.

STANDING UP FOR NEUTRALITY

First of all, the United States seeks
to be neutral, and for that purpose we have
withdrawn our best merchant ships from
the best ports, and forbidden them to en-
gage in profitable trade. Great Britain
has been taking some of these neutral
ships, that are plying in neutral waters,
into the War Zones and searched them for
mail and articles of merchandise intended
to reach the enemy countries
The United States Department of
State has vigorously protested to the
British, and that Government has been
very slow to stop its unneutral trespasses
upon our neutral rights. Perhaps the Eng
lish remember similar circumstances be-
fore the World War when they counted on
the good nature and forgiving spirit of our
Government. President Wilson overlooked
the violation of our rights and that put an
end to the diplomatic breach.

tor in the granting of the RFC
loan and the WPA grant. That
is the water to be piped to the
keys under the project would not
be solely for their benefit. 1t
would be an important COM
modify in connection with ma
tional defense as affected by the
reopening of the Key West naval
station, and the expected eXpan-
sion of the Army's plant there.
Under the present Set-up both
the Army and the Navy depend
upon rainwater storage systems,
which are adequate for all nor
NAL demands, but they need
water supply for emergencies.
This undoubtedly will be taken
into consideration by representa-
tiveS of the Government in MAX
ing the survey that is to be used
as the basis for the ALLEGATION of
funds with which to finance the
undertaking.
All circumstances surrounding
the project are such as to indi-
cate that the Federal authorities
should find it far more worthy
than scores of others that have
been favored by the spending
lending program of Washington,
and still are being favored.
Funds could be advanced at the
lowest possible rate of interest
with repaymentS extending over
a long period of years, in order
not to overburden Key West citi-
zens who already are suffering
from handicaps that have been
long in the making.
Certainly there is no COM

adequate supply of fresh water

There is no doubt that the easiest way

There is no doubt that the easiest way
to help the needy joblesS and other eco
nomic casualties is to give them something
directly, through either public or private
charity. But in this as in most matters the
easy way is not the best way in the long
run. The best way undoubtedly is to help
people help themselves. That's what is
wrong with W.PA., the C.C.C., the N.Y.A,
and a number of other relief agencies
Any tendency to undermine the American
character, seIf-reliant in the past, should be
viewed with alarm. Dependency on the gov
ernrnent for everything imaginable will
soon devolve into the regulation of our pri-
vate lives, with dictatorship as conse-
quence, and relationships have their origin

Optimism prevails in Key West
over the progress of plans now
under way for piping water from
the mainland, which if accom-
plished will bring into realiza-
ton a project that has been dis
cussed for many, many years.
The Citizen reports that officials
identified with the effort to
bring fresh water to the keys are
encouraged over the outlook for
success sometime in the not dis
tant future.
They all concur in the belief
that money for the water pipe
line and pumping stations soon
will be made available ''if some
one doesn't throw a couple of
wrencheS into the machinery"
AS the negotiations are sum-
