£ wat will Make Horses
Too Costly to Keep.
Oats and oil are in the throes of a
little war of their own just the same
as the human back once combatted
with the reaper knife. This strife is
fast becoming more acute because
the already high price or horses is
being accentuated every day by tle
number being sold out of the country
for cayalry mountsto be used abroad.
The drain upon the American horse
horse supply will soon be such that
gf wherever possible mechanical con-
trivances will be used to do their
work. Were we to begin at once, it
will require five years to replenish
the drain which the war has already
made upon the horse supply of the
@orlk. The United States Govern-
ment Department of Agriculture has
estimated that it costs $756 to $80 per
year to keep a horse, and in a study
of horse utility for a period covering
six years, it was found that he aver-
aged only 3.14 hours of work per day
as his contribution to lessening the
In contrast with
this it was found that he ate up the
entire yield of one out of every five
acres which he helped to cultivate.
It has been shown too for every hour
he worked it cost about sixteen cents;
| whereas, a full horse-power hour can
be delivered by a high-grade oil en-
ge for only two cents per hour, in
both cases, interest, fuel, food and
depreciation being included. Again,
& in plowing, a team of two horses can
plow only about two acres per day.
I In doing this, they travel sixteen
miles, which is a good days pull for
horses with a load. A small tractor.
on the other hand—the kind which
costs less than six horses, weighs less
"an six and with a capacity doing
the work of twelve—will plow fully
that much in an hour or so. It will,
furthermore, plow it deeper and keep
it up twenty-four hours each day un-
til the work is completed without
feeding, resting, or growing thin.
While it would not be wise to dispose
of brood mares and blooded stock to
satisfy the foreign boyers, in the end,
perhaps, the increased prices which
purchases will undoubtedly
bring about will be beneficial in fore-
ing thousands of farmers to adopt a
® newer and more economical form of
power. :

* How The War Started,
As we understand it, a Servian So-
cialist who was partly sane when
sober got drunk and killed an Austrian
noble and his noble escort. Austria,
observing the unseemly incident, ad-
dressed herself sternly to Servia,
somewhat as follows: ”
‘‘See here, kid, no rough stuff. I
propose to be a father to you. Come
into the wood-shed.”’
‘‘Hold on,” says Russia, ‘‘don’t you
dare lay a finger on that kid, Austry;
he’s my kid,”’ says he, ‘‘and anyhow
you’d make a fine father for anyone—
I don’t think,” he says.
“Think again, you big siob,”’ says
Austria, ‘‘if you can think twice in
one day, and while you’re thinkin’,
think what I’m tellin’ you,’’ he says.
‘‘I don’t like the color of your eyes,
and your nose offends me, and your
EB feet don’t track; besides,” says he ‘I
can lick you and I will, too.”’
‘Good boy, Austry,’’ sings Wilhelm,
“I can lick him myself; I can lick
anybody; why I can lick everybody,”’
says Wilhelm, ‘“We’ll take him on to-
> gether and show him.”’
So Germany starts for France and
slips up, incidentally landing with
both feet in the middle of Belgium.
‘‘Get off me stummick,’”’ wails Bel-
gium, ‘‘or I’ll bite your leg off,’’ says
he.
“Ouch, be patient, Belgy,”’ says
® Wilhelm. ‘‘Beg pardon; I’ll get off
¢ when I have to,”’says he. ‘‘Excuse
me, or I’ll soak you,’’ he says, ‘‘now
watch me paste Gaston one.”’
‘Not fair,”’ says France. ‘‘I wasn’t
t looking, anyhow,’’ says he. ‘‘Take
¢ that,” says he, slipping Wilhelm a
: hot one.
“I hate a fight,”’ says England,
¢ ‘‘but I can bust the jaw of any guy
§ that slaps my dear friend Gaston,
#8 whom I don’t like at all,”’ he says,
£ ‘but will defend till death,’’ says he.
“You don’t hate it worser than me,”’
{ FE says PJapan, standing back for an
¢ opening.
‘‘Anyhow, you started it,’ says
Wilhelm to Nicholas.
‘You started it yourself,’’ yells
everybody to everybody else, sticking
out their tongues,
Then they all clinch, and the little
fellows dance around, watching for a
chance to get in a punch and run.
Moral: If you want to fight, all you
8 Mave to do is to say so.

INDEPENDENTS THROUGHOUT STATE
TURNING TO GIFFORD PINCHOT
Fejublicars Who Want a Froteciive Tariff znd at Same Time
Fre /gainst Penioze and His Record of Corruption
and Servilily to Standard Oil and O ter Special
Privilege Will Vote for Washington Paity Man
In spite of the enormous sums of money being spent in this campaign by
the liquor interests and the rich groups of corporation men- to elect Penrose
it is becoming more and more evident that the senior senator cannot be
returned to Washington. .
Reports from every part of the state show that the people are making
up their minds to the fact that when they vote for Gifford Pinchot, the
Washington party candidate, they not only get a protective tariff man, but
they get a representative at Washington who will stand clean and firm for
the common good. :
Penrose is being publicly rebuked. At county fairs he has been given
the cold shoulder; at meetings called to hear him he has been listened to
with scant attention. He has failed utterly to answer the serious charges
against him. Even his managers are in despair at the uncanny growth of
anti-Penrose sentiment throughout the length and breadth of Pennsylvania.
More serious than anything else in the ever growing and oft repeated
declarations of the hosts of independent Republicans that the time has come
to put the party into clean hands.
They Want a Clean Man.
The tariff that Penrose boasts of was so excessive that it disgusted the
people. What kind of tariff maker is it that arouses distrust even among his
own followers by his excesses? ‘
Independent Republicans know this and are growing more and more
convinced that Penrose is a mistake.
Some of the significant remarks made at recent county fairs where
Penrose has spoken would discourage his managers could they hear them.
The burden of the comment throughout the state at the present time is
that Penrose is a legacy from the Quay machine. He was put into office
by Quay, he was kept there during the time when the people could not vote
direct for senators through the machinations and deals of the politicians.
He has been a monstrous failure, according to the popular concept of
what a senator should be.
The protective tariff men in this state, the independents who want
Pennsylvania to be represented by a high type of statesman have pretty well
made up their minds now whom they will select.
By no manner of means does Penrose measure up.
Gifford Pinchot, from every angle is the logical man.
SAY PENROSE FULLY EARNED
$25,000 STANDARD OIL CHECK
Philadelphia, September 15.—Penrose machine followers who are work-
ing for the Senator here are indignant that anybody should question Pen-
rose’s acceptance of $25,000 from Standard Oil after the way the Senator
worked for that company during his public career. :
The Penrose workers want the Senator to acknowledge publicly that
he got the money from Standard Oil and that he fully earned it.
It was recalled here that on February the 20th, 1900, as shown by letters
passing between Penrose and Standard Oil officials, the Senator took the
confidential report of the United States Industrial Commission which was
investigating Standard Oil and secretly sent it to that company.
The United States Industrial Commission was a body appointed princi-
pally to investigate Standard Oil which was regarded as a dangerous trust.
Acted as Their Errand Boy.
The fact that Senator Penrose as a member of this commission took this
report from the files and sent it to the Standard Oil even before it was sent
to Congress, was of the utmost value to the company. It allowed Standard
0Qil to actually dominate the Commission and to prevent the Government
from taking any steps against them.
On February the 21st, 1900, John D. Archbold, the Vice President of
Standard Oil, acknowledged the receipt of the report which Penrose sent
him in a letter which read as follows:
“26 Broadway, N. Y., February 21, 1900.
“Hon. Boies Penrose,
“Senate Chamber,
“Washington, D. C.
“My Dear Senator:
“1 have your kind note of yesterday with enclosure, which latter I beg
to return herewith. We think the report is so fair that we will not under-
take to suggest any changes. With many thanks, I am,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) “JNO. D. ARCHBOLD.”
Standard Oil got everything they wanted from Penrose.
“Why wouldn’t Standard Oil give $25,000 to Penrose?” asked the political
machine workers here. “Didn’t he earn it by saving the Standard Oil when
the trust was in danger?”
Restocking Forest Streams.
The restocking of national forest streams in all states where such forests
are situated, including those now being acquired in the White mountains
and the southern Appalachians, will be given attention as rapidly as supplies
of fish fry become available for planting purposes. The forest service is
admirably organized to carry on work of this kind, and does so with practic-
ally no interference with regular activities since the fish must be handled
with the utmost haste and frequently during the late evening or early
morning hours. The production of the existing federal and state fish
hatcheries is hardly adequate to meet all demands, however, and therefore
the work has to be done in installments.
"INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY S(TI00L
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director Sunday
School Course, Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 20
JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS.
LESSON TEXT—Matt. 25:31-46.
GOLDEN TEXT—Inasmuch as ye did it
not unto one of the least, ye did it not
unto Me. Matt. 25:45.
I. The Congregation, vv. 31-33, This
is one of the difficult and much-con-
troverted passages of our Lord's Oli-
vet prophecy. The title “Son of Man”
is one which refers to our Lord's
earthly relations and administration,
and is one not otherwise used in this
prophecy. Jesus is speaking to his
disciples. He looks beyond the dark
passion so rapidly approaching to the
light of the ultimate fulfilling of his
purpose for this world. Our Lord here
makes no reference to the final judg-
ment mentioned in the Apocalypse. In
that hour earth and heaven will flee
away. Here there is no such passing
away nor do the dead appear. The
son is enthroned. He administers
judgment. He is assisted by the ac-
companying angels. The believer
must appear before the judgment (II
Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:10), but his des-
tiny is decided the moment he be
lieves, John 5:24. Christ first came in
humiliation, when he comes this time
'twill be in “glory” (v. 31). He may
come at any moment, Matt. 24:42-44.
This scene is more the description of
a judgment than of a trial. The test-
ing is taking place today.
Separating Test.
il. Those Commended, vv. 34-40.
The separating test is the attitude
of the nations toward the brethren of
the Lord. Here Jesus emphatically
speaks of his kingship, hence the hon-
ored position, “on his right hand.”
In his teaching Jesus had empha-
sized the fact that ‘4 ose who do the
will of God are his next of kin. Here
they are, “Ye blessed of my father.”
This word “blessed” means, literally
“well spoken of.” We are blessed of
God in the heavenlies in Christ, Eph.
1:3, but we are also to be blessed
with an inheritance in the kingdom.
See Gal. 5:19, 21; Eph. 5.5; I Cor. 6:9,
10 contrasted with II Tim. 2:2; 4:8;
James 2:5; Rev. 21:7. This blessing is
a gift, Luke 12:32, which has been
prepared ‘from the foundation of the
world” (v. 34). Man's destiny de-
pends upon the object and act of his
faith, but the test, the proof, the evi-
dence of that faith is in his conduct
(Gal. 5:6; James 2:17, 18). Altruism
does not save the soul, but a truly
saved soul will be compassionately
serviceable. It is ours to assuage the
thirsty, John 4:14, 6:55; ours to feed
the hungry, John 6:32, 35; ours to re-
ceive the stranger, Eph. 2:13, 18, 19;
ours to clothe the naked, Isa. 64:6;
ours to visit the sick, Luke 1:68, 78;
and ours to visit the prisoner, Luke
4:18. Note carefully the unconscious-
ness of good deeds. The Christian is
so identified with Jesus Christ as to
regard these deeds as not his own,
but “Christ within.” The real test is
not so much love for God or Christ
whom we have not seen, but love for
the brethren whom we have seen (1
John 3:17). Our attitude toward our
brethren is the evidence that we have
received Christ. Our life of service,
though we may be “the least,” will
be commended before the throne and
the assembled nations and angels. He
is identified with “the least.” This
sentence needs to be interpreted in
the light of the entire scene and its
relationship. Those commended are
sent away into an age-abiding life
of felicity. :
The Other Side.
III. Those Condemned, vv. 41-46.
Turning now-to the other side, what a
change we behold! “Come” is now
“depart,” not to age-abiding joy, but to
age-abiding fire, which is age-abiding
punishment. We do not infer that
this parable refers to the place of
the departed dead, to the final judg-
ment of sin but to the time of his
second advent and that the life that
is blessed and the place of punish-
ment are on this earth during the age
of his millennial reign. Such at least
is as far as we feel we have a right
to go in the interpretation of this par-
able. Those who do not listen to the
“come” of Jesus now, will hear his
“depart” hereafter. Notice there is
no reference to the father following
the curse such as we find in connec-
tion with the “blessed.” Men are
cursed by themselves, John 65:40.
Those who seek to save themselves
are likewise cursed, Gal. 3:10. The
kingdom is prepared for the righteous
and punishment is not prepared for
man. It was prepared for the devil
(41) and his cohorts.
IV. The Lesson content. Admit-
ting the difficulty of interpretation let
us look at the picture. Jesus on
Mount Olivet, sitting In the midst of
his disciples, knew full well what was
awaiting him on Calvary. Judged by
{ human standards he was defeated and
i his defeat was to be made irrevocable
| by that ignominous death. So his
enemies confidently believed. Yet he
| looks beyond the circumstance to the
| coming centuries and through them to
{ the end of the age, and claims the
victory. He speaks without hesitation
0 hour of triumph and “glory”
