it is not better to have prices con-

down the bars to initiation and

that Hitler's mental state is such

GREATER THAN
CIRCUMSTANCES
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

You are perhaps familiar with
the circumstances that caused JOS
eph to be cast into the pit. You
remember how, aroused to jealousy
by his coat of many colors, his
brothers had thrown him into the
pit to die.
Joseph, however, is not the only
man who suddenly has found him.
self in a hole. Many a man has
experienced the piling up against
him an accumulation of circum-
stances over which he has had nc
control.
In such a situation as that is il
possible for man to find a power
that will deliver him out of his
troubles?
Perhaps we can best get an an
swer to this question by analysiz-
ing this word circumstance. In
doing this we discover the root
meaning of the word is ito stand
around" just like Joseph's Jealous
brothers stood around him waiting
their opportunity to cast him into
the pit.
But like Joseph, we do not see
all the things that "stand around
us when we are introuble. We are
so disheartened by the visivle ma
terial circumstance" that "stand
around" threatening us that we
fail to recognize the invisiblel spir-
itual~ circumstances" that also
stand around" us waiting to as
sist us.
What Joseph could not recognize
was the fact that among his jeal-
GUS brothers that stood around
him, there was also standing there
to rescue him the invisible God.
God did not intend Joseph to die
in a pit. He directed a caravan to
travel that way.
When he was sold a slave in
Egypt, Joseph seemed to have
every reason to doubt even the ex-
istance of God. But when he at
las tsat upon the throne of Egypt,
he acknowledged that God had a
hand in all the things that had hap
pened to him during his life.
There are no combinations of
circumstances" that can win
against God. God is greater than
all circumstances.
If you are willing to go Gods
way, although that way may be
hard, you will find it to lead to
something worthwhile.

DELAWARE'S
FARM FRONT
THIS WEEK

Director George L. Schuster of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service and Experiment Sta
ton has called meeting of the
Post War Planning Committee of
staff members for this Saturday
morning to discuss the service that
can be given returning veterans
and war workers who wish to en-
gage in agriculture as an occupa-
ton.
| Heavy imports of corn and bar
ley from South America beginning
this week will ease the livestock
feed situation which developed on
Delaware dairy, hog and poultry
farms when farmers throughout
the nation increased their livestock
numbers year ago without a cor
responding increase in their grain
acreages.
The State feed ALLEGATION COM
mittee of the Delaware Agricultur-
al Adjustment Agency has already
allocated 1900 bushels of South
American barley among Delaware
feed mixers and dealers and will
direct distribution through regular
trade channels of other South
American grain imports. Corn i'm
ports in July will total 100000
bushels.
The barley price is $1.211a per
bushel elf. New York, plus applic-
ablel charges. The corn price is
SIPS per bushel elf. New York,
plus applicable charges.
An appeal to farmers for greater
promptness in reporting the ap-
pearance of dangerous livestock
diseases, as war conservation
measure, has been issued by the
American Veterinary Medical AS
sociation. According to DR.. ]. G.
Hardenbergh, secretary of the as
sociation, farmers who try to con-
ceal the presence of dangerous dis
eases in their herds do themselves
and their neighbors a grave injus-
tice. Farmers can help prevent
the spread of disease if they will
keep transient trucks and other We
hicles out of their livestock lots"
says DR.. Hardenbergh.
Warning farmers that in some
areas the hog producers seem to
have been stampeded into reducing

low the goals asked by the govern

ton asked for 100000 900 and not
less than 95,000,000 hogs this year,
as against 22,000,000 last year, a
cut of Is percent. If farmers re-
duce production belo wthis figure,
we will not reach the quotas for
the combined needs of our armed
forces, lend-lease, and home con-
sumption.
The Council recommends that
each farmer survey the feed sup
plies available to him and the
facilities he has for efficient hog
production, and then plan to pro-
duce smany hogs as he can feed
and care for properly within those
limits. We are going to need all
the pork during the coming year
that our feed supplies will reason
ably produce, and heavy reductions
such as are being made in some
states may prevent our reaching
our food goals.
An OPA and VIA canned food
group is considering point values
for July. Additional processed
foods will likely be added to ration
list. Points were taken off some
items several weeks ago to help
move heavy stocks, much of which
seem to have been moved now.
Judge Marvin Jones again stress
ed the need for Victory Gardens.
Last year 20 million Victory
Gardens produced s million tons of
food. They helped to make it pos
sible to remove point values re-

This year it is vitality important
that we produce even more food in

answered now"

Yours very truly,
Mrs. Walter L. Brown
Thank you Mrs. Brown for the
nice letter you wrote about your
son, Walter. We think it was
mighty thoughtful of him to send
you the pictures of the several diff
ferent scenes you mentioned. 'Tis
fine lad that keeps on thinging
about his mother when he is away
from home.
Please tell your son when you
write to him that Dribbles has just
two pointers for him on that rifle
score. Quote when you are shoot
ing for the bulls eye, don't think
about the girl friend, and learn to
squeeze (don't ever pull) the trig-
ger when on target" One is just
about as bad as the other when
you're trying for score. Ask your
Sergeant it's the old squeeze that
gets it started for center. Bet you
odds ten to three Walter will pick
up ten to fifteen points in the next
two weeks if he'll follow these sug-
gestions. The male members of
his family were always a bit nerv-
Gus when thinking about the op-
posite sex, but please don't tell
Walter Senior that I said this. And
don't tell me what he said in reply
either. Let's just keep it a secret
between the three of us. What do
you say?
Give your soldier son Dribbles'
very best wishes when you write.
