Con God Be Despised?

High-lighted in the sad obituary
of dead-and- gone nation is the
fact that as a nation they despised
the law Of God How is it possible
to deSpise the Almighty? Nations
and individuals show their real
contempt for God by paying no
attention TO what he has said.
Millions of people in America TO-
day act just as if the Ten Com
mandments flor example, were
only set OF bylaws for fanatical
churchmen, or-worse still-as if
they We're an out-dated set Of rules
from primitive civilization. To
Judge from what you may read in
any newspaper, would the Man
from Mars suppose that Amer
leans, as a people, are living by
any Law Of Love? II all the church
members in our country were
practicing Christians, would this
country be what it is? A nation s
sins both by the actual sins of
the sinful and by the consent OF
those who know better but do
nothing about it. Now you can
despise God and his laws for a
while; but his laws are not arbi-
trary, they are not like basketball
rules that can be changed every
season. The roads that lead away
from God and his laws may be
wide, but they are short They
come to very dead end II is pos
sible to despise God but it is not

School Concert We'll Received By Large Audience

Before the opening number of the combined Girls Glee Club and the School Band Christmas con- cert last Friday, it was necessary to move in several rows of addi- tional seating to accommodate the large attendance.
 An old Welsh carol, Deck the Hall'' was presented by members of the Glee Club as the opening number. Members of the glee club, and their director, Mrs. Lois Wildon, wore the schools beau tiful blue choir robes and were arranged in a semi-circle in front of the stage. Members of the School Band added to the attrac- tiveness of the program, with their blue and white uniforms.
 Following a very well present ed group of Christmas songs, end ing with Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the Glee Club retired while the band, under the direc- tion of Lee Plumbley, offered six selections, opening with a lively march, and highlighted by the presentation of the Corinthian Overture. During a Christmastide medley Fred Cook was featured

OLD B0SSY IS EFFICIENT PRODUCER

By Science Service - When she's working at top efficiency, Old Bossy turns grass into milk at the ratio of two and one half to one.
 Scientist of the University of California Extension Service re- port these figures.
 A COW eats about 125 pounds of flve-inch-high forage day enough to produce 50 pounds of 3.5 per cent milk. But where the grass is two to three inches high, she eats only 45 pounds a day.
 Bossy grazes approximately seven and half hours each day, regardless of how much feed she gets. She does 60 percent of her grazing during daylight hours and 40 percent at night, with 50

Mistietoe Once Symbol Of Evil

The mistletoe, once a weapon of death, later became to be consid- cred as magical medicine, is now a universal symbol of love and peace.
 ltWas with mistletoe arrow (ac- cording to Morse mythology that Loki killed Balder, the sun god, after Balder's mother had ob- tained a promise from all living things, other than the mistletoe, that they would not harm him. Balder was restored to life and it was ruled by the gods that the mistletoe would never again be used to do harm.
 Ancient Europeans considered the mistletoe magical medicine. They carried it about with them for health and luck, and believed it a cure for ulcers and epilepsy as well as a charm promoting fer tility.
 The present day custom of giv- ing a kiss of love or peace be- meath the mistletoe, although relatively modern one, is derived from the fact that down through the centuries the mistletoe has been recognized throughout the whole world as symbol of lasting peace.

 The program was concluded by a combined program in which the voices of the Glee Club blended to the accompaniment of the Band in, ''The First Noep'. Joy to the World, and % Come All Ye Faithful.
 The entire program was one of the finest presented in Palmer and left the audience with a true feeling of Christmastide.

to 70 bites minute. On the aver age, she chews her cud seven hours a day and spends 12 hours lylrg down, at nine different times. While grazing, she travels two and a half miles in the day tune and one and a half at night. She drinks 10 times a day.
 If a cow chews her cud lying down, it does rot necessarily mean that her appetite is satis- fled. Unless she is given other feed, she has to get along on what She eats in seven and half hours of grazing, whether she eats 40 pounds or 125.

 The population of Bethlehem was more than double, the descendants of David, having come to register as ordered by Herod. The journey had been a particularly tiresome one for Mary. The quietness of the stable and the small amount of warmth it provided was indeed welcomed by both She and Joseph.

 In the distance angels were heard in a great psalm:
 Glory in the highest,
 And on earth, peace to men of

 The quietness of the stable gives way to the sounds of camels and voices of men, and there appears a group of Magi, wise men of Persia. They have followed the brightness of the star in search of a newborn king. They bring gifts of precious gold.
 There in the stable, wrapped in sWaddling clothes, a manager for his throne, they find the Christ Child.

As one of DeIaware's leading
Motor Carriers, The Masten Truck
ing Company, Inc, of Milford,
Delaware, expressed this week
through it's management confidence
in the year 1854 as to the growth
of the company.
The year 1854 will undoubtedly
be a year of important decisions
for an expanding company such
as Masten and it is felt that the
company is able to meet those
decisions.
In the past Masten has improved
its terminal operations by building
new modern terminals, by making
additions to other terminals with
insufficient operation space. These
changes and additions were done
for a reason for which the companv
is very proud-with emphasis on
service since 1933-being foremost

From the operation to the sales
force, from the Office to the drivers.
and foremost management, all feel
confident that they can and will
meet the Motor Carrier needs for

Markets at q Glance

Prices-Downward pressure from big farm
supplies and smaller demand has been largely
discounted
CattIe-Prices for upper grades are likely
to hold up through the winter, then have
seasonal decline in spring.
HOgs-Intended increase OF only per cent
in next spring pig crop gives favorable pros
pect through 1854.
Lambs-Price trend has been up from jan
uary to March in Is of last 25 years.
WooI-Light supplies matched by small
demand.
Wheat-After temporary irregularity, prices
probably will rise to new highs for the crop
year.
Feed Grains-"Free'' stocks of corn are
likely to be tight next summer.
Flaxseed-Sales of government stocks may
have made free supplies adequate.
Seeds-Large spring requirements probably
will strengthen prices.
Feedstuffs-Soybean meal probably will be
high compared with competing protein teeds:
Hay - Drouth area needs and continued
freight rate cut will sustain prices in near
future.
Dairy Products-Government price support
will maintain fairly good returns over feed
cost.
Eggs-Lower feed prices will largely offset
any drop in spring prices below last year.
Poultry - Broilermen have begun to cut
chick purchases because of low broiler prices
Potatoes-Trend in next three months Will
depend partly on Jan. stock estimate.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-15

THE CURVE of business activity
remains slanted slightly downward
and is now 3 to per cent lower than
year ago. 1t is still quite high
measured by standards of former
years.
The December farm price index
was l per cent over the November
low point, but 6 per cent under a
year ago. Pressure on farm prices
from heavy supplies, reduced exports
and turn down in consumer in
come may have been largely dis
counted. Acreage restrictions prob
ably will reduce total production in
1854 and price supports for basic
crops will continue at 80 per cent of
parity for another season.
CATTLE-Prices for upper grades
are likely to hold up well during the
winter and may not start their sea-
sonal decline until sometime next
spring.
Stock cattle prices will advance
considerably in the next two months
if prospects for spring grazing are
favorable. Some restocking demand
is probable from last years extreme
drouth areas. Prices for cattle suit
able for immediate feeding probably
will rise also. Present spreads of
about SIS cwt. between feeders and

fat cattle, with present feed cost
levels, look attractive. Feeders are
regaining courage. In December,
shipments of stocker and feeder cat.
tie from eight leading markets be-
gan to run larger than a year
previous.
HOGS-Prices are likely to work
up again from any January setback.
Selling of hogs held back for new
income tax year may swell the sup
ply temporarily, but numbers of
spring pigs carried into 1854 prob
ably were nearly one-fifth less than
a year ago, so that arrivals will re-
main well below last year.
LAMBS-A moderate uptrend is
probable in the next two or three
months. At Chicago, fat lambs aver
aged higher in March than in Janu-
airy in Is of the last Is years. July
November feeder shipments into
nine Cornbelt states were % per
cent less than last year. Fat lamb
supplies probably will drop to 10
per cent in the next two months and
minor drop in the supply of other
meats will strengthen demand for
dressed lamb.
WOOL-Prices continue to move
sidewise. Slow fall trade left retail
ers heavily stocked, new orders for
goods are small and mill utilization
has dropped substantially below a
year ago. The new clip is looming
up and the price-support level will
average about cent a pound lower
than for the 1858 clip.
WHEAT-Prices may fluctuate ir-
regularly below recent top levels in
the near future, but are likely to
rise next spring to new highs for the
