Editorial SOME BIG JOBS We have so much to do at home that it is unthinkable that we could have time out to whip Rus­ sia! We have diseases—polio, heart afflictions, tuberculosis and others—to conquer. We have the land to restore to fertility. We have schools, and churches and homes to build. Big jobs. May the good Lord lead us in paths that will permit our doing this, ir.-.tc-ad of letting us blunder in­ to paths of destruction! TREES A b ird reforestvation o f the L r .u a ; States, setting to trees i-.j.l ...... o f acres that render poor . . . u . u farming, would lv^ult in le v jvars in a restoration ef wealth to the country that is lues:M.aide. AH the power we use tame from trees. Trtxs are the contact between the earth arid the sun. Oil, coal, electricity, all their sources are trees. Un­ thinkingly, unknowingly Amer­ icans lav. o uellherateiy thrown away their wealth—trees. Fort­ unately tills error can be remed­ ied. V»e can plant trees, trees, trees. And we should, by the bil­ lions. Billion? o f trots will mean billions of dollars in a very short time. FOLKS LIKE IT l he Cincinnati Enquirer, the conservatives in newspaper style, is tuning out with a front page without column rules. This news­ paper has been doing it for a long time. So have scores o f oth.r papas. We like it. Readers say they do, too. A PUZZLE SOLVED An economist, with knitted brow, a-ks solemnly; What do you do with your money? Most o f us are ready with a startled answer: We spend it. THE GOOD EARTH God’s greatest g ift to man­ kind, the earth, is the most neg­ lected possession we have, next to A c human mind. A complete revolution in customs and meth­ o d o f handling the land holds the secret of progress in all lines o f endeavor. Not oniy will the pet-pie live better, but they will live Huger when they learn soil secrets, which after all. are not so secret any more. The response to intelligent handling o f land slow to show any interest in this vital matter, there is at the mo­ ment much more attention be­ ing paid to it than ever before. DYING ELMS All across the country, from east to west, elm trees are dy­ ing. The disease that is killing them attacks even the strongest and sturdic.-t. Up to the present the {.light has not struck Greene county Hue it has some other A - rous of Ohio, but leafless and life- le.-v. dm trees are to be seen gen­ erally all over the country. A vi­ rus causes it. Scientists think they have found a cure but it’s not tasy for a home owner to save a tree that means almost as much to him and his family as the home itself. THE BUSIEST PEOPLE It is a favorite mistime to tell other folks how busy we are. Tasks and duties and things that ha', v tv be done pile up. and find­ ing time to attend to them all mane a.-, what v.e call busy. But fo r systematic, day-by-day, rou­ tine busy-r.o.ss the children in Si. ,«i-i are am ad o f us. Recita­ tions, study, home work, play-thc daisy schedule o f the pupils o f the pub-lie schools is a cram-ful, jam-ful job. School kids are the busiest people. It would have been a good joke i f the elevator operator in the Cincinnati hotel had taken, by mt.' viJce ef ee.mse, Truman to John L. Lewis’s room, just above his. Two Hoosiers dropped into the Niagara river, sedan and all, the other day. A good stunt, but not quite as good yet as going over the falls in a barrel.

Uncle Xfir.,. s food' probitm keeps in­ creasing. The Kroger Babb motion pk i- ure concern in. Wilmington use; the slogan, The Best is Yet to Come. That’s wfcat the candidates are telling the folks. Old Hebrew* texts have been found buried in the Dead Sea, predicting wars and rumors of wars to the end o f time. Don’ t nag children to eat, a child’s magazine suggests. And don’t bog them either, at the price vittles are. S UPPOSE you were given a long flexible wire and were asked to arrange it on a pattern which would represent history, what would you do to it? S ome people would cut ; I that wire into littb bits and let them fall in a pHc Ilxe jackstraws. K.sio ry, they would say is a meanirgle -r collection of dis­ connected events - it has no real pat­ tern. S o m e o n e else would arrange the wire H:e a Icr.g arrow p o i n t i n g upward; others would make it into nr. arrow point­ ing downward; thsse would be the pure o p t i m i s t s and pessimists among historians. Others would arrange it is a series of up-and-down curves— history, they would say, some­ times goes up and sometimes down, hut ii never gets any­ where. Others again would make an immense circle; his­ tory goes around and around in cycles, repeating itself. Others still might take that wire and shape it into a kind of spiral, almost repeating itself but never quite, often seeming to go backward but actually mcldng some progress. * * * God’s Chosen People A GOOD deal of the Old Testa­ ment is taken up with history. Starting with Genesis and going through Esther, most of what you read is history. But it is not mere chronicles, that is to say it is net a mere listing of events. The historical parts of the Bible were written by men who had a theory of history. They would agree that the Golden Age is ahead of us, uct behind. They would all agree that the most important figure in human history is not a human being at all. but God the Great ;-r. They would all agree that his hand can be seen—if you leek for it—in the events of man’ s existence Here. And they all affirm that among all "the nations of the earth there was one which could be called truly God's chosen people, the little na­ tion. called Israel, the people we know as the Jews. The whole of Hebrew history is a sort of sermon on this text: Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The history of any na­ tion, ancient or modern, would illustrate that text just as well; only the Israelite historians saw it most clearly. They showed how, when their people followed God’s leading and liis laws, they prospered; when they went their own stupid, selfish ways they suffered. » » • Somehow Good O NE great lessen the Old Teita- i meat history teaches is that j God’s will is g~ed, ana that when j man defies and disobeys that will, ; he does it to his < vvn destruction, but that God can bring gocc! out of evil. People often act from bad mo­ tives; yet even the worst i f nr>- tives God can overrule. D av 'd ; waded in bleed to his throne, ar:;l he treated cruelly many of ids enemies. That was not goad; yet God brought out of that a national j independence and strength. j David put Solomon on the throne because he was the son of his favorite wife; that was pure f a v o r i t i s m . Yet Gcd brought good out of a choice which was selfish. When the Israelites were tempted to fall for the cheap ar.d nasty gods whose shrines filled the land, that was bad; but it gave the prophets their great opportunity to make perfectly clear the difference be­ tween false and true religion. «- * * The Voice of God H ISTORY is no bucket of ashes. If you have ears to listen, it is the voice of God. These ancient tales of a nation long since dead, that lived in all scarce 500 years, carry God’s voice to us today. The diseases which are fatal to a nation's life are here de­ scribed; the foundations on which alone true national wel­ fare can be built arc made quite plain. Up to now, all nations have per­ ished sooner or later. We can see some of them decaying in our own time. That is because no nation ever yet has built its life on God’s design. But the pattern is there, the lesson has been written. God still waits for a people who will learn, his lesson in how to live.

This barn contains 40 ' cattle-stanchions. These fans are automatically con- , trolled in the winter and manually controlled in the summer when they are used at milking time. Joe Scholz has this to say about the electric venti­ lating fans: "They keep the walls o f the Dairy Barn perfectly dry in the coldest Weather and keep cows in a healthy condition. They provide a more pleas­ ant place to work.” - Whatever other electrical equipment a farmer uses, one o f the most valuable uses o f electric service is a running water system. As every farmer knows, water— and plenty o f it— is a basic necessity in producing food . An electric water system not only v.. 2 ; produces more milk, bigger eggs, healthier livestock . . . and better crops; i t also stretches manpower by sav- ying miles o f steps and hours o f chore time. * , For information o a electric ventilating fans and running water systems, consult your County Agent, Vocational Agriculture teacher or the Farm Repre- - ' sentative o f your electric service company.
