Postpone Election In Soviet Zone
(By Edwin Shanke)

BERLIN (P)-Marshall Vastly D. Sokolovsky announced yester- day that Germans in the Russian zone will not be allowed to hold community elections this fall.
 The Russian commander said the voting will be put off for one year. It is the first time in the oc- cupation that one of the four pow CTS has postponed an election.
 Sokolovsky issued his order over the protests of the zone's two non-communist parties-the Con- servative Christian Democrats and the Rightist Liberal Democrats. the parties demanded only last week through their press and at open meetings that "in the name of democracy" the people be given a chance to vote"
 Non-communist leaders have claimed the communists want the elections put off because they feared they would suffer severe defeat. The communists have claimed the people are "too busy working for recovery" to vote.
 American and German police reported a quiet night at the sec tor borders after a day marked by several incidents near troubled Potsdamer Platz, where three sec tor boundaries converge.
 However, in the Russian sector unidentified persons stoned the offices of the anti-communisi Christian Democratic Union, party officials reported. The Soviet controlled police said they were hunting the culprits.

Jews Kidnap Con- sulate Employee In Jerusalem
(By Carter L. Davidson)

JERUSALEM, (P-The U. s. consul general here has protested to the Jewish governor of Jeru- salem that the Stern gang kid naped and mistreated an Ameri- can consulate employee Sunday.
 The consul general, John J. Macdonald. said the Sternists seized George F. Paro, confi- dential clerk in the consulate and held him for seven hours, during which they handcuffed, blind folded, slapped and questioned him.
 An Israeli army source said the Sternists kidnapped Paro and call ed him a "damn British spy" be- cause he bears a faint reSemb- lance to a British detective who left Palestine four months ago.
 After Paro, a 33-year-old resi- dent of Granville, N. Y., was re- leased by the Sternists he was held another nine hours by Israeli military police. Asked why the army had held him so long a spokesman replied:
 ITO clear up such a mystery in nine hours is not bad police work"
 Macdonald said he had filed 2 full report of the incident with the state department and had sent strongly worded protest to Dr. Bernard Joseph, the Jewish mill tary governor in Jerusalem.

Commodity Prices Continue To Fall
 In States
tBy Rader Winget)

NEW YORK (P)-A shift in the American imitation pattern echoes throughout the world in a con fused rumbling.
 Currencies and commodities are being adjusted to a peacetime level from the chaos that grew out of the war.
 The change is not sudden de- velopment. It has been going on for some time. It will continue. There will be stresses and strains as each country alters its way of life for the best interests of itself and in harmony with its neigh bors.
 The steady fall in American farm commodity prices has been a powerful lever on the rest of the world. But at the same time the rise in the industrial price level of the United States pushed the world the other way.
 In Mondays market, the list of commodities that declined is inn pressive; eggs, butter, wheat, corn oats, rye, soybeans, lard, cotton seed oil, wool, cotton, coffee, CO., coa and hides.
 New lows for the season were made in the Chicago futures mar ket for corn, oats, soybeans, lard and some deliveries of wheat Cotton fell below the average level at which the government is pledged to support the market with loans to farmers But at the same time, the total production of goods and services in the United States in the second quarter this year was reported by i the department of commerce at an annual rate of 8,000,000,0 0,00C "a new record. There are no in dications that the rise is slacken- ing.
 A major part of that increase in the dollar volume of production was laid at the door of imitation.

 Accidentally Got Off His Course

EDMONTON Alta, (P)-Grimy and wan from IT days in the bush. Dr. V. B. Murray, 6l returned to Edmonton last night, vowing that his flying days are over.
 The Washington, D. C., doctor pilot has satisfied RCAF officials that his crash in the wilds of northern Alberta was an accident and that no desire to escape from civilization prompted his crack-up at lonely Chip Lake, 80 miles southwest of his announced des- tination, Grand Prairie, Alta. But two weeks of wandering through the bush has cured his zest for air travel
 The twin-engined Cessna air craft that Dr. Murray overturned in the bush when he ran out of fuel, miles off his course, Aug. T, now is the property of J. McCul- tough, the trapper who found him at Nose Creek, a few miles from the scene of the crash, and brought him back to safety by pack-horse.
 He blamed poor eye-sight for the 10-degree deviation of his course that landed him in north ern Alberta wilderness.
 Still limping from a knee in- jury, suffered in the crash, Dr. Murray denied any intention of departing from his Edmonton Grande Prairie course.

kings wine in Babylon. Read
the story of how Jesus made

Of grapes" out of water at the
wedding in Cana. If you have
in any way acquired the taste
for strong drink, then repent
of your sin and confess to God,
and pray for deliverance from
the accursed habit. Moderate
drinking often leads to drunk
enness. A child of God should
be total abstainer from all
alcoholic beverages.

THE CURSE OF STRONG DRINK

The Word of God strongly
condemns the use of intoxicat-
ing liquor. The Word definite
ly declares, ''No drunkard
shall inherit the Kingdom Of
God" 1t has been rightly said:
"The traffic in intoxicating
beverages is a dishonor to
Christian civilization and mimi
cal to the best interests of So
ciety." Augustine, the great
Churchfather, said of the in
visible spirit of wine: IF thou
hast no name to be known by,
let us call thee devil" The
same author said Of one CIV
en- to drinking Intoxicating Ii
quor, "When he is best, he is
little worse than a man, and
when he is worst, he is little
better than beast" William E.
Gladstone was right when he
said, ''The liquor evil has caus-
ed more of human suffering,
wreckage, and misery, than
the wars of all ages, combin-
ed with famine and pesti-
lence." Thomas Edison said,
''To put alcohol into the human
system is like putting sand in
the bearing of a machine" The
study of the Bible references
given in this Lesson should
cause every one to abstain
from all use of strong drink.

Lures Vacationists
With its parks, monuments, for
ests, wilderness areas, glaciers, hot
springs, fishing streams, big game
animals, Indian reservation, dude
ranches and rodeos, Wyoming is
scenic and recreational bonanza,
visited by more vacationists than
almost any other state.
Yellowstone Park, in the north
western part of the state, is the
nations Oldest and largest national
park. DEVILS Tower, in northeast
ern Wyoming, was first of the ma
tional monuments. Shoshone forest,
just east of Yellowstone, was the
first big cumberland to be reserved
as a national forest.
Herds of elk and antelope Craze

plains. Mountain sheep, moose, deer,
bear, small game, buffalo, sage
chickens, and numerous other game
animals and birds are found in the
state. Its streams and lakes abound
in lusty, fighting trout and other
fish.
With more than 100 dude ranches
over the state, Wyoming entertains
thousands of visitors who want a
taste of ranch life during the sum-
mer. During the winter months, ski
enthusiasts and mountain climbers
test their skill and stamina in the
alpine mountains of Wyoming.

to 125,000 horses and about 1000
mules. as we'll as thousands of hogs.
Principal Wyoming agricultural
crops are hay, wheat, sugar beets.
beans, barley, potatoes and rye. Hay
is perennially the chief crop of the
state and includes alfalfa, clover,
timothy, wild and grain hay. Irri-
cation, by which thousands of semi
arid acres have been transformed
into production areas, now is used
on a million acres and is steadily
increasing. Mountain streams, fed
by deep falls of snow, and glaciers,
provide irrigation water which is
stored in large reservoirs. In addi-
ton to providing life-giving water
to the land, these dams and streams
are used extensively for development
of electricity. Dairying is becoming
of greater value each year.
Rich in Minerals
Principal mineral resources of
Wyoming are oil and natural gas,
coal and iron ore. With more than
$50 minerals in its mountains, Wyo-
ming produces great quantities of
bentonite, sodium sulphate, lime
stone, gypsum, clay and cement.
Coal is taken from over Is mines
and is found in every Wyoming
county except one. Wyoming's oil
fields, including the notorious Tea
pot Dome, have been augmented by
new finds at Lance Creek in the east
ern part of the state. At Sunrise is
a mountain of iron ore. The state
is a source of ferro- alloys, titanium,
vanadium, chrome, manganese, pot
ash, gypsum, dolomite, graphite, as
bestos and many other minerals and
compounds.
Historically, Wyoming holds an
important place in development of
the entire nation. Perhaps the first
white man to penetrate its wilds was
John Golfer, who, fresh from the
Lewis and Clark expedition, explored
the northwestern portion of the state
in 1907 and discovered the wonders
of Yellowstone Park. In the same
year, Ezekiel Williams led a party
of trappers up Big Horn river. Will
son Price Hunt led an expedition
across Wyoming in 1911. In 1912,
South Pass in the Wind River noun
tains, destined to become the gate
way to California, Oregon and Utah,
was discovered by Robert Stuart.
Crossed by Frontiersmen
Jim Bridger, Captain Bonneville,
Broken Hand Fitzpatrick, William
Sublette and many other notable
frontiersmen fill the pages of Wyo-
ming history with fabulous exploits.
Well-known, too, is the legendary
French Canadian trapper, Jacques
La Ramie, who worked the tribu-
taries of the North Platte. He gave
his name to military post, a town,
mountain range, a peak, a river,
county and a section of the Wyo-
ming plains.
Wyoming provided the pioneer
trails Of the early West and be-
came the crossroads of spirited
and ambitious young nation. The
Oregon, California and Mormon
Trails crossed it from East to
West, the deep ruts made by the
