The state is broke, many of the funds are now* over­ drawn, In addition the legislature is bound to increase the salaries of the law makers. A few days ago the Senate voted to increase salaries of members of the legislature fifty per cent. We are informed tha t this extra tax levy will cost the Pennsyl­ vania railroad company the huge sum of $141,000 in addition to the regular taxes paid this past month. It is estimated that the. new ta x rate will take nearly $50,000 out of Greene county. None of this money comes back to be used in the way of im­ provements or any betterment for the public. The home and farm owners are to pay the bill. While the legislature is increasing salaries other forms of taxation are being sought. There is the gasoline tax to help build roads in counties where there is no public spirit, for that sort of an improvement, After taxing the farm owners for progressive improvements it is planned now to make them give financial aid to other counties by use of the gasoline tax. This one cent additional tax is not for upkeep of roa'ds but for the construction of new roads. Attorney General Edward. Turner is out with an opinion th a t may yet defeat the unjust purpose of the legislature in passing the additional gasoline tax bill. He holds tha t the bill may not meet constitutional requirements in th a t citites would be called upon to pay the gasoline tax and no t get anything.back- The same with the smaller.municipali­ ties. It is also said th a t the proposed gasoline tax if passed will be subject to a referendum—.and there is no guess-work about what the result will be. ^ , * When the tax bill is mentioned about the first thing asked is: “What will Governor Donahey do as to veto?” Botb poli­ tical parties were pledged to the state levy. Gov. Donahey and "Myers Y. Cooper both campaigned against1 it last November. Governor Donahey may let the law stand and let the Republi­ can legislature, have the credit of violating a pledge to the pub­ lic. The Governor could not be critized for so doing. ..It is now certain tha t had Cooper been elected governor he would have been in"worse, shape with the legislature acting as it is than can Donahey be. Cooper a few weeks ago came out against the state levy and even the Hamilton county delegation, voted sol­ idly for i t in both houses. ■ , Governor Donahey is expected to .Veto the gasoline tax if . it is passed. CHICAGO AND HER GOVERNMENT Chicago held a municipal electiton Tuesday with armed police about the polls to preserve order . Chicago with all her murders seems to like th a t kind of government where the dis­ orderly element can rule. “Big Bill” Thompson, former cow­ boy was elected mayor which was the signal'for a continuance of an open city. *Mayor Dever made an effort to enforce the laws but only partially succeeded. Chicago will not be ujn- ,def restrictions. Policemen have been shot down in numbers in line of duty. The price they have paid in sacrifice of life has no value to the predominating element in Chicago, . • ^Thompson was the Republican nominee. Had been mayor before so the city knew what it wanted. Thompson had the support of Senator Smith, who is fighting to gain his seat in the United States Senate, Smith is recognized as a dry leader in the state, of Illinois. Smith bought his atentioA with funds contrib­ uted by the big utility interests, Thompson promised an open administration. Chicago wants no Eighteenth amendment and as fa r as Thompson is concerned the under-world will have its way. Thompson was mayor of Chicago during the war. He has not been forgotten for the stand he took against the draft. He was an open German supported and opposed to this counttry iii its fight.. Thompson has insulted the Americann Legion a t every turn. He is master of the situation in his city and can have his Way. So can the bootleggers, Chicago’s government is going to be watched with interest, Much has been said about New York City but Chicago holds the belt for murders, gang warfare and official corruption, . “Where Sav ings a re Safe*' Paid on Deposits 6 Compounded Semi-Annually 20)000 Members Assets Over 10^ Million WEST SIDE BUILDING& LOAN ASSN. s i r A T h s r ~ ow°- 19 East Third St. Three Offices: (Established 1887) Spray Materials LIME SULPHUR PARIS GREEN BORDEAU MIXTURE DRY ARSENATE OFLEAD PYROX TUBER TONIC CALL US FOR PRICES I Prowant & Brown *rtm $ & x a £ l S to re (By REV. p.

The storm-tossed disciples on the sen nt night are an example of the struggling followers of the Lord in the darkness of the present age, us they , are tossed by the tempests of the evil one. ■ I. The Disciples on the Storm. Tossed Sea (vv. 22-24). 1 , They are sent across the sea by Christ tv. 22 ). “Jesus constrained His disciples to get Into n ship.” Doubtless His rea- son for tills was to keep them from entanglement in the movement of the people to make Him King, for In John (5:14, 15, it Is shown that the people/ were so excited by the feeding of the 5,000 that they were ’.about to make Him King by force, 2, Christ dismisses the multitudes (v. 22 ). This may be taken as typical of His rejection by the nntion whose rulers lmd alrendy rejected Him, 3, Christ praying alone In the moun­ tain (v, 23). .Temptation to enrtldjr honor and power hud come to IHni, therefore He went to the Father In prayer for re­ lief and strength. The need of prayer Is greatest at such times. According to Mark 0:48 He saw from the moun­ tain the disciples toiling on the storm-' tossed sea, : ,■ II. Jesus Walking On the Sea (vv. 1, It was In the fourth watch of the night (v, 25). , • He did not come to them Immediate­ ly, hut. waited till almost dawn. How­ ever, it was the darkest part pf the night. Their physical danger was great, but no doubt their mental per­ plexity was greater. They knew that the Lord hud sent them, biit why should they be in such straits if He sent them’ ' The stormy sea is no evl- denoe that the disciple Is not In the Lord's appointed way. 2, Titty disciples alarmed at His com­ ing (v. 20 ). At the sight of Hint they eried out for fear. They said: “It Is a spirit.” It was the coming of their best friend to deliver them from danger, ' 3, .Tesiwr words of comfort and good cheer (v. 27). In the.midst of their distress they heard the ^Master’s words, “Be of good cheer, it is. T, he not afraid.'' Tills changed their fear to Joy, ill. Peter Walkiph on-the Sea (vw 28, 2 !». 1. Peter's request. As soon as Peter recognized . the voice of .Tesus he eried: “Bid me etnno to tliee on the water" (v. 28), 2. Jesus' response (v. 29). At the Lord's "come,” Peter left the sldp and walked on the water. While lie kept his eyes on the Lord lie walked on the Wuves.. His.*fliiHi linked him with the divine power and was thus upheld. Vital faith in Jesus Christ will enable the disciple to outride the storms of. life. IV. Peter Sinking (v, 30). He took his eyes off the. Lord and placed ,'icm upon the raging sen. This separated him from the divine power. We should learn to fix our eyes upon the Lord instead of upon out 1 circum­ stances. Failure will surely follow If we give consideration to our circum­ stances- and our own ability to master them. V. Christ Rescuing Peter (v. 31). When Peter began to sink lie did the sensible thing. He cried out: "Lord, save me.” Immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him. His salvation from death at the bottom of the sea was the result of the Lord tak­ ing hold of him. Jesus Christ In the incarnation was the divine hand reach­ ing forth to rescue a sinking world. The significance ■of the expression “caught him” iv made clear in Hebrews 2:10. It is there declared that Jesus took not upon Himself the nature of nngels but took upon Himself the seed of Abruhutn. The Same Greek word occurs lb verse 31 of this lesson. We should understand front this that the eternal Son of God did not come in the form or a man in or­ der to show man the way to God, hut > Identified Himself with man through , incorporation with Him. He came, not i ns an example, but as a Savior. Battle and Victory The battle with the powers of dark* ness may be Mmtg and Ijnrd but the victory is possible.--Edifies.

G ea rare m d d ie S a u d i S e a * By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD tCopyrbrttr.) G KOHOE ABBOTT was a very much engaged young man* Bis uumye, pretty Sarah Makepeace, had her own- loving ways of occupying nh» evenings and his office hours were frequently punctuated by telephone calls arranging to meet him for lunch or downtown after work on this er- umd and th a t And because George really loved her and knew in advance ■what n capable, thrifty little wife she was some day going to be to him, he never througbt of protesting that her apron strings were a lilt tiring. Never, Unit is, until that memor­ able niglit when they retd aloud to each other a fascinating story of the ever-alluring South seas. When George had kissed Sarah goodnight three times, he turned slow­ ly homeward. Thoughtfully, too. For Ihe first time It struck him that there, were distant lauds to be seen, He neither was free to go nor had ilie money, us fur as that went. But he and Sarah, who gave music lessons :u between being engaged to him, were saving every •possible cent .to*I ■wards a -nest egg on which tb marry, When George reached Ills room, be found slipped under his door a white ^envelope addressed to him in hand­ writing only faintly familiar. Ouri- uu-’.ly, lie opened it, and read the let­ ter that was enclosed, ‘ Sly dear nephew’’—so, read the letter— - • ‘fm not dead yet no r thinking Of .■lying. But I’m playing, the dead aunt to my heirs. That is, I’m giving away now what you'd probably get later, Mu-li one of you. l’lease speud it to gratify some >acret wish. ■"AlVectionaitly, my dear boy, etc.” Attached to the inner sheet by a wire dip ,was u folded check for •82,000. , , U Is significant that George did not at once telephone the good news. In a way. It made their marriage <immediate possibility and surely one would expect that any engaged young man’s secret desire would lie In that direction. On the contrafy, several days went by‘ and stilt George said nothing to Sarah of the windfall. If he appeared distrait the very next time be saw her, she gave.no outward sigu of no­ ticing the fact, . She even loaned blip the magazine containing the .South seas story' without a query as to why he wanted IL To tell Urn truth, George was au enigma to himself. Here for months lie hud been longing to marry Sarah and now, at the Instance of a silly yarn dealing largely with beating surf , and honey-colored' moons and dusky ' maidens, lie was yearning' to take a little trip all by hinisclf and postpone settling, down for a year or two. His unexpected, legacy seemed to render legitimate thj# desire, yet haw could he explain to; Sarah ‘2 The obvious thlhg to do would be to get. married and then, if he must blow the money in such a way, make the journey in •Sarah’s company. He lo\ed. Surah, he was insanely jealous Sarah looked sidewise at anyone else, and yet-f-liow he wanted this' last mud' (ling of irresponsible youth ail by himself t Suddenly he made up his mind to get II over with. He opened his mouth, shut if, cleared his throat and was about to speak when Sarah, lay­ ing down her work, leaned forward and regarded hint , “George,” she said solemnly, “I’ve something (o tell you. It’s hard to say, hut—well, I’ve changed my mind about getting married, I feel—well,, before I settle down, I’d like to go- 'somewhere, see somebody—" . “See somebody- 3 -’’ echoed George, feeling as If the bottom of things were falling out. “Yes,” nodded Sarah, and into her eyes came a faraway ecstatic expres­ sion. "Sometimes I dream of distant lands where the off-shore surf beats on the coral reefs, where honey-colored moons rise out of a velvet ocean, and strong, bronzed men In spotless suits, white helmets and Victoria crosses on their chests—” “Sarah l” by this time George had risen, Then, with an effort to swallow tils indignation, “Just how would you do all this?” he asked. “Well." said Sarah, "I’ve nearly a thousand dollars I was saving to­ wards the house ami—’’ "And you’d use tlmtt" “Perhaps when I come back,” said Sarah gently, ''I’ll not mind marrying you. But first—oh, I wunt one last mad lllng!” Rising, while her work fell to the floor unheeded, she threw her slepder arms towards the celling. Then she lound herself seized and her anps, falling, fell on George’s shoulders, , "Sarah," he was saying sternly, "Enough of tills nonsense i I’ve just been left $ 2,000 by an aunt who Isn't dead yet ahd we are going to be mar­ ried at once. White helmets and Vic­ toria crosses indeed! Tell me you do love me!’’ , So Sarah told him she did love him. What she did not tell him was that any girl knows when her lover has something on his mind and Intuition pins some guess work will soon help her discover what It is. Three weeks inter, George’s aunt received a letter. “Dear Aunt: . "Your Welcome gift made possible a trip to Hlagura falls, a lovely little blue runabout, nfid first payment on a five-room bungalow."
