BY JACK REICHARD 50 YEARS AGO (1907) President Theodore Roosevelt, speaking to farmers on a tour through the West during the late fall of 1907, called 'attention to the “serious evil”, as he put it, of young men and women deserting the farms for employment in the large towns. Given here in part, President Roosevelt stated “ Everything should be done to encourage the growth of young men and women in the open farm ing country by such institutional social movements as will meet the demand of the best type of farm ci fa. There should be libraries, as sembly halls, social organizations of all kinds. The school building should throughout the country districts be of the highest type, able to fit the boys and girls not merely to live in, but thoroughly to enjoy and to make the most of. “The country church must be revived All kinds of agencies, from rural free delivery to the bicycle and the telephone, all should be utibzed to the utmost; good roads should be favored, everything should be done to make it easier for the farmer to lead the most active and effective intellectual, political and eco nomic life Publisher .. .Editor “It is important that the ethical needs of the people in the coun try districts should be considered and that the country as well as the town must see a multiplica tion of movements for intellectual advancement and social better ment”. Bees Buried In Winterizing Experiment A Minnesota apiarist had tried a rather unique method in the keeping of his bees through the winter During November in 1006 he buried some of his hives under about two feet of earth as an ex periment, and in the spring dug them up, expecting to find them dead, but to his great surprise he found tney were alive and ready for business In 1907 the apiarist declared that he was wintering all his bees under giound.

One (as Paul puts it) is the eager desne that ‘ I may .. be found in Him This meant that when God looked at Paul Paul hoped God would sec him in Chiist Paul is not any longei a “paiate, lone man, ho is so tiuly in Chust than when God looks at him he sees Chust Along with that* 1 thought, and a prut of it, is anothei. ‘not having a ughtcousness of my own, but that which is tlnougji faith m Chust, the ughtcousness fiom God that depends on faith ” This lb bO caster County, won second honors, Duck With Collector’s Gizzard * This story, declared true, prove that the hording of money is not limited to human beings and that there are some misers in feather ed species. Hess Johnson, driver of a bak er’s delivery wagon out of Willow Street, Lancaster County, 25 years ago, purchased all his poul try requirements from customers along the route Johnson watched a large flock of Pekin ducks mature, and made a purchase of the fattest one that could be found in the drove for Thanksgiving. But a surprised Mis. Jdhnson found her husband had also brought home a combi nation hardware store, tack col lection agency and bank of de posit in the duck’s gizzard. The contents included a three penny nail with a big head, two lacks, one wood screw, a small piece of wire, a penny and a dime, with the penny being worn -to about one-half thickness, indicat ing it had done a lot of grinding. Choose Good Brush To Apply Varnish A varnish brush is wedge-shap ed. A good one is made with a “chiseled”' shape, that is, the bristles on the sides are short, explains Miss June Wilke, Exten sion Home Economist, Chester County. For small areas, a 1 orlVfe inch brush is good; for large areas use a 3 to 4-inch brush. A new tomato powder for use m sauces, soups, juice and dry mixes will be available commer ciallj in the near future. The powder mixes with water, and can be stored in its powder form in definitely without refrigeration. opposite to what the ordinary per* ton, all religious but euri, and In deed many Christians, understand and aim at, that it seems too strange to believe. But this is what Chust can mean, my righteous ness. The hue Christian character is not something built up by the Christian’s own efforts and offered ,to God, it is something accepted fiom God. If it is tiue that,when God looks at the Christian he sees Christ, he sees the Christian (as one of oui songs puts it) “clad in His righteousness alone.” “Tht Power of His Resurrection" Chustiamty is a supernatural r** hgion Any one who takes it for less is like a peison owning an au plane who never fills it with gas noi takes it out on the imiway; like a pei son who has a fortune in the bank but nevei wntes a check. How often a Chustian says to him self, “I can’t I ” —and he is quite light, as a rule Much is demanded of a Chustian that is impossible; which doesn t make sense till the Chustian discoveis that the answer ought to be “I can’t but Chust can ” Paul not only heie but in. other places testifies that the same powci that laised Chust fiom the dead is actually available to the Chustian It does not come all at once, Paul is expiessing it as a hope only partly leahzed; but it makes sense—spiutual, supernatu ral sense if you must put it that way A Chustian can use above his oidmaiy eaithbound self, by the same powei in which Christ tri umphed over death “We Await a Savior" Once moie Chust for Paul moans the Savioi, one who comes to his icscue But while Paul can speak of having been saved, he can also talk of salvation in the futuie. The same Paul who cheushed the phiase “This do in lemembiance of me . . ” could also speak of “awaiting” a Savioi Theie aie two gieat things, pait of what is meant by ‘ salvation,” which Paul expects Chust yet to do, in the futuie They aie closely connected. The fust is that Chust will come to bung him and otheis to th* “heavenly city’ the common wealth the Chustian has never seen but wheie his citizenship papeis aie aheady made out The othei thing Paul expects is to b« changed his "lowly'body” is to be “like (Chust s) gloiiousbody ” Paul does not make this fully cleai, he had not yet had the ex peuence This is the language of hope But one thing is plain I' or Paul, Chust is not only the Savior fiom sin but the Savior fi om death Paul no longei feared death, as he might have when a boy.
