SOME “THING PRACTICAL.
There is a persistent rumor that the
Executive Committee has decided
that the Parent-Teachers Assn. shall
n¥tconfine its sphere to mere inves-
tigation and discussions but has taken
the hint, and has something practi-
cal to propose at the meeting on
Friday night. Let us give thanks
that the children of our town will
get some real benefit from the new
organization. If the common people
of Meyersdale are to be interested
in the Parent-Teachers Assn. it must
be shown that their children are to
profit by it, otherwise the Assn. will
bs a fiasco.
INDUSTRIAL MURDER.
The slaughter of miners through
laxity of discipline or carelessness in
! safety measures, because the main
| incentive to coal mining is the ope-
| rators’ profits instead of supplying
fuel for use, has again taken a fear-
ful toll at Finleyville where 125 men
| were Kiiled.
Adam Smith and the capitalist
school of political economists tell us
that the capitailsts get their profits
through ‘‘reward ‘of abstinence’’. By
the same reasoning, We presume
that the miners’ lot is the penalty
of participation.
When the mines are publicly owned,
! as they surely will be, then the the-
ory of the ‘‘reward of abstinence’
will be relegated to the scrap heap
} aleag with a lot of other philosophic
| Junk that our sehools and colleges
| are teaching, and human lives will be
put on a higher plame than profits.
MCTHER JONES.
Wherever there is a mine settle-
ment in the United States, the name
of Mother Jones is known and re-
_vered as a saint, for this old woman
‘ has given her very life for the wel
fare of the miners. There has never
been an industrial battle of any con-
sequences which she was able to
take part in, that Mother Jones has
not been on the ‘firing line’ with
her *‘‘boys’” as she affectionately
calls the miners.
Mother Jones, now past eighty
years of age, is locked up in a mili-
tary prison because she will not obey
the ukase of Governor Hatfield of
| West Virginia and leave the state so
| that the coal operators ean beat the
| miners on strike for over a year,back
| into slavery conditions. The answer of
| this aged saint to the politieal tool
‘of the operators was, ‘“As long as
there is life in this old body of mine,
IX will keep on fighting for the child-
‘ren, and the women, and the men of
the mining camps. And I know
| that two months more in this prison
will finish me?”’.
That you miners and other work-
ers may know what Mother Jones
has had to endure in her work of
organization, we quote an extract
from an article by Harold E. West,
in The Survey, which certainly /can-
not be suspected of being Socialist
iin its tendencies: — :
‘‘I have been with Mother Jones
when she was compelled to walk the
creek, haying been forbidden to go
upon tne footpaths that happened to
be upon the property of the cem-
panies and denied even the privi-
legd of walking along the railroad
\/\track,although hundreds of miners and
others were walking on it at the time.
She was compelled to keep to the
county road, although it was in the
bed of the creek and the water was
over her ankles. I protested to the
chief of the guards, saying that no
matter how much she might be hated,
she was an old woman and common
humanity would dictate that she be
not ill treated. I was told that she
‘was an old ‘‘she-devil’’ and that she
would receive no ‘‘courtesies’’ there.
‘“ I was with her when she was de-
ied ‘the priyilege’ of going up the
ootway to the house of one of the
in order to get'a cup of tea.

speech she counseled moderation,
told the men to keep strictly within
law and to protect the com-
pany’s property instead of doing any-
thing to injure it.”’
Such conditions will exist so long
as you miners and workers continue
voting for them. Vote for Socialism
and you’ll see the last cf such condi-
tions in its triumph.

DOES WHITEW ASHING
BENEFIT TREES?
Prof. H. A. Surface State Zoologi:t
of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, receives
many inquires on the subject of
whitewashing trees and takes this
occasion to issue a general reply on
the subject which is as follows:
‘“As far as the destruction of pests
is concerned there is a slight ben-
efit from whitewashing the trunks of
trees. However, this does not kill
the pests that are not touched by the
white wash and thus those on the
branches above the whitewashed area
are uninjured. Also, it does not kill
the borers that are within the trees,
although if applied regularly as a
good thick coat, about the middle
of June, July, and August, each year,
it will keep the borers out.
“From the standpoint of appear-
ance is not commendable, as the
trees in their natural conditior and
beauty are much more attractive
than those that are whitewashed to
look like painted posts. Persons who
love Nature are outraged in their
finer sensibilitiesupon seeing natural
objects like stones and trees white-
washed, painted or otherwise dis-
colored.
Whitewashing gives a little benefit.
It is certain that it pays far better to
boil a little sulphur with the lime,
and instead of making a regular
whitewash, make the lime-sulphur
solution with the sediment present,
and apply this either with a brush
or with a spray pump. It is not
troublesome to boil some sulphur
with the lime, and thus make the
material an undoubted insecticide and
fungicide. This can be applied with
a brush jnst as the whitewash is ap-
plied and it will be far more effect-
ive in destroying insects and gerns
of fungous diseases, and will be far
better for the trees.’

Sometimes I had pains in my sides

my kidneys were disordered. Hear-

LESSON FOR MAY 11.
JOSEPH MADE RULER OF EGYPT.|
LESSON® TEXT—Gen. 41:25-40. |
GOLDEN TEXT—‘God giveth grace to
the humble.” I Peter 5:5.
“Hope deferred maketh the Beart)
sick.” Surely Joseph has had enough!
of deferred hope during his thirteen
years of humiliation, yet he did not!
lose faith in God during those days of}
the seeming failure of God’s Word!
(Ch, 40:8; 41:16) and now there is!
dawning the day of his exaltation.{
Two years have elapsed since thei
events of last week’s lesson and again,
his powers of interpretation are called
into use. 1
I. Pharaoh’s Dreams, vv. 25-32.
Pharaoh is perplexed and his perplex-.
ity recalls to the butler his forgotten:
promise to his fellow prisoner, 40:14!
It does not seem to us’
that the butler was much possessed |
vantage he felt sure would accrue if
he could succeed in securing’ for.
Pharaoh the interpretation of ‘his |
dreams. He ought to have remem-
ingratitude is used of God as a means
of bringing Joseph to the fore at the:
most opportune moment.
Did Not Forget God.
ent day church members to follow in
that being exalted among men or be-
dictions based upon his intelligent:
knowledge of God came true to the’
letter. The whole matter, Pharaoh’s
dream and Joseph’s ability as an in-
terpreter were inspired “established”
by God. There is no such thing as,
chance in the spiritual realm any,
more than in the realm of physics or
chemistry. Back of every effort is an’
adequate cause. Joseph realized this:
hence his words that, “the thing is,
established (prepared) by God, and’
God will shortly bring it to pass.”
il. Pharaoh’s Deliverer, vv. 33-40.
Joseph told Pharaoh the meaning of;
his dream which had been repeated;
and which seemed like two different’
dreams whereas it was but one in the’
lesson to be taught. It is not enough,’
however, to tell a man what is the.
without being told, but it is quite an-
other thing to present a rational cure.
Joseph’s interpretation commanded
Pharaoh’s confidence and his suggest-,
ed policy is one of wisdom and good,
judgment, viz: (1) a man who shall
be the executive supervisor of the
plans for meeting the impending catas-
trophy; (2) a governmental depart-
ment which shall devote itself solely
to this matter, and (3) abundant stor-
age of provisiens during the seven,
years of plenty.
Pharaoh’s Wisdom.
This man of piety knew how to
properly improve his opportunity and
Pharaoh saw the secret of Joseph's
wisdom (v. 38), “a man in whom the
spirit of God is” (2 Tim. 1:7). Phar-
aoh had the wisdom to set in author
ity the spirit-filled man, a broad sug-
gestion for voters, business men, and
even church members. True discre-
tion is God taught (v. 39) and we now!
begin to see that Joseph's testimony.
for God is being honored (Jno. 12:26)
and that Joseph was worthy of the
honor and power conferred upon him
(vv. 40, 41, 44; cf. Matt. 28:18). The
gource of Joseph’s wisdom is open to
all (Jas. 1:5), and his worthiness
came because of his obedience (Isa.
1:19). His training and testing had
prepared him to occupy his exalted po-
sition with proper humility and zeal.
Faithfulness is of great value and al-
ways pays well in the long run. Jo-
seph’s exaltation to power is a good
type of Christ, (2) in the power be-
stowed upon him, Jno. 3:35; (b) in
that the power was unlimited—all the
princes were under his feet, Ps. 105:
20-22; Eph. 1:20-22; I Peter 3:22; (c¢)
‘by the certainty of Pharaoh’s promise,
“J am Pharaoh,” see Ex. 3:13, 14.
Joseph did not tse his great power
‘for his own selfish ends as do so many
‘modern rulers among men. He did
mot at once send for the members of
‘his family and place them in lucrative
positions, but at once set about mak-
ing provision for the future. It has
‘been suggested that the unsuccessful
interpreters of Pharaoh’s dream must
have ridiculed Joseph but he certain-
ly was sustained by the conviction
‘that God's word was true and that
the years of famine were certain to
.come. This ought to admonish us to
improve our present, priceless, oppor-
‘tunities (Eph. 5:16). Joseph’s open
confession was his leaning back upon
God.
‘ This story gives us a remarkable
revelation of the value of faith as the
‘chief element of strength of a man.
Jt is also a valuable lesson in its rev-
elation of the methods of God in rul-
‘ing and over-ruling the affairs of men.
