Under* Su*dtvS/hoo! t~*oma Editorial APPLE TIME Mother Nature has not forgot­ ten her apple trees this yeaT, though she has been busy with fields, presenting to the people o f the world what they call a “ bumper crop.” “ Leathery pears and apples hang russet on the bough,” the poet wrote. You’ve seldom seen more apples per tree than you can see by a glance at most any well-kept or­ chard this fall. Greene county has several fam­ ous orchards, and this season will make them more famous than ever. The crop is bounteous, and luscious. It brings cider, too, a fall delicacy that took the place of the nectar o f the gods o f the long ago. Cider in the days a- gone was made from refuse apples and had its weak points. Nowadays cider is made from good fruit and its taste and food value are both perfect. THE POUND What’s the difference to us in Greene county, a wide ocean and lots of land away from Great Britain, if the English pound is cut to about half its value ? Nothing could be o f much greater importance to all of us. It will affect the farmer, the busi­ ness man, the housewife, the working man—all of us. It means that English-made goods can be sold cheaper, and much o f those goods will he made with US money, and when you furnish the money for a neighbor to undersell you. your business is hound to be affected. Serious­ ly. England had to do something. Had to do it at once. She did it. Economists agree that what she did was the only thing she could do. But it is going to affect us •and the rest o f the world, espec­ ially us. PERSIMMONS Until there is more frost those dropped persimmons are to he strictly beware-ed! Next to an “ Indian turnip,” the root o f a better-known flower, a green persimmon has more puck­ er in it than anything. Of course there is the lining of an almond which can send the nibbler scurry­ ing fo r something—anything—to put in his mouth! Nearly everybody likes the taste o f a ripe persimmon, but knowing the ripe ones from the green ones is essential to enjoy­ ment o f the fall native fruit. Sorry, indeed, is the careless per­ simmon picker-up who mistakes green ones for ripe ones! The season o f the persimmon will be on when Jack Frost sets his fall schedule, and there is an occasional piemaker who can construct a persimmon pie that delights the palate. TAXES “ Where rolls the Oregon.” Taxes are there! “pierce the Barcan wilderness,” and there, too. are taxes. Everywhere, On everything. A survey shows that If taxes could be removed gasoline now would be selling at a lower price than at any time in history. But when you and I and all the you and I’s buy it at the filling sta­ tions the price is about as high as we ever Tmid. But memories are short and unreliable. After World War I gasoline cost more than it does now, tax and all, and taxes then were very much lower. The computation shows that tax-free gasoline right now would sell for less than 1 !) cents a gal­ lon. retail. One of the world’s greatest ec­ onomists and government author­ ities said, “ The power to tax is power to destroy.” It can happen here. It has happened everywhere else. SAFER SKATING Sonja Henie, the skating queen, got married again the other day. Her husband is a member of the family that live and owned land in neighboring Highland county fo r 10 generations. A ll of us breathe a bit easier now—Sonja is not skating on as thin ice as she was! COULD IT LAST? Scientists who climbed Mt. Ararat to get to a peek at Noah’s ark didn’t remember that it was made o f “ gopher wood,” and long ago, no doubt, the gophers “ et” it. Know what could be done? Pick up some old boards around the barnlot, pour some acid on them, and you can sell them as rare specimens from Noah’s ark! No Just look what Washington and England -selis us!

Lesson for October 2, 1913 Dr. Foreman t F YOU knew'exactly what God * wanted you; to do, would you do it? Of course you would. The trouble is: How does any one know what God’s will is? F o r example, a y o u n g man is thinking about his life’ s work; what shall he choose? Most young men w o u l d do what they w e r e sure God called them to do, but what is a call? The s t o r y of Isaiah throws some light on this problem. (We are beginning this week a three months’ study of the great prophets Isaiah and Jere­ miah.) True, he lived some 2700 years ago, and half way to the other side of the world; but human nature has not changed in 2700 years. • • • From Man about Town To Man o f God I SAIAH was a young man about town, in the small but wealthy city of Jerusalem, about 700 years before Christ. He was a personal friend of all the important people, a man of gccd education, with wide horizons of interest, of inde­ pendent means, eloquent, polished, the sort of man who makes a good career diplomat. He tells In some detail the story of how he came to be a prophet. The story is in Isaiah 6 . Perhaps if we had been there with a camera and a wire recorder we might have been able to photograph the sera­ phim and take down their cries, just as Isaiah saw and heard them. What we do know is that that experience changed Isaiah’s life. Up to that time (on his own show­ ing) he had been a “ man of un­ clean lips;” from that time on he began to be a spokesman far the Lord. Let us try to say what the story of that life-changing vision, that call, means in terms of our own experience. * • # The Flame o f God F IRST there was the overwhelm­ ing sense o f God’s reality and power and holy majesty. No one can ever experience a call who does not take God seriously. A God “ afar off,” a God who is only a problem, an Idea, a hypothesis, never called any one. God alone can make him­ self real to man; and only a man with a real sense of a living God is going to hdar Ids call. Next came Isaiah’ s realization of his own unfitness and sin. A man who feels equal to a great task is probably not equal to it. “ Them as knows nawthin’ fears nawthin’ ,” as the Irish say. A man who feels good enough to serve God, just as he is, is not good enough. A man without a sense of sin is too full of it. Then comes the burning coal from the altar; Isaiah feels that his guilt is gone. No one can fully do God’s will with an unforgiven heart, Isaiah was not sinless at one stroke, of course, yet it is possible to turn from all known sin; it is possible to devote one’ s loyalty to God; and this Isaiah did. It was only then that he Ijeard the call; Whom shall I send? In modern and less pic­ turesque language, Isaiah was conscious of a need he had not felt before—that is, of God’s need, of his people’s need. What those needs were will come out in later studies. The point is that young Isaiah, who hitherto had lived only for himself, now saw the need of the city and. the people; among whom he lived. *> * • “Here Am I; Send Me.” rpHEN comes the last stage— Isaiah’s willing offer of himself. His great talent was the ability to use language. He could make words march and sing as few men of any race have done. But up to that time, it seems, his gift of eloquence had been used chiefly in telling dirty stories. - , Now he has repented, and * been forgiven, and? he says to 1 God: Use me. Ills voice, his . knowledge,' h i s eloquence, which he had been using against God (or mt best, only for Isaiah) he was now to use for God and man. So there is a call; A sense of God, near and commanding and holy; repentance; forgiveness; a sense of need; willingness to de­ vote all one’ s gifts to fill that need, (Copyright by the International Council ot Religious Education on behalf of JO Protestant denomination*.

BROWN Writes With a Buckeve In Conerress I f the coal strike continues, and i f the strikes in steel and other industries, which threaten as this column is being written, should be called. President .Truman may be forced to use the Taft-Hartley. Act—repeal o f which he has de­ manded—to protect the public interest. The department of Agriculture has announced that the decline in the price of farm land, which started in the West more than a year ago, has now moved across the entire country, and predicts that land "prices will continue dowmyard fo r at least another year. Department officials con­ tend, however, that the govern­ ment price support program fo r farm products will prevent land values dropping as sharply or as far as they did follow ing World War One. Administrator Hoffman of™the EGA has issued orders to permit Gi'eat Britian to spend §175 mil­ lion o f the American aid being advanced that nation this year under the Marshall Plan fo r the purchase o f wheat in Canada dur­ ing the next few months. Former­ ly. Britian had to spend her Mar­ shall Plan dollars in the United States. As a result o f the recent order American farmers will sell $175 million less wheat to the British this year than last—and our domestic wheat surplus will be havily increased to further depress prices. They say that the bill to re­ peal Federal taxes on oleomarg­ arine will not be brought up fo r a vote in the Senate at this ses­ sion of Congress. The reason-—the certainty that riders will be at­ tached to the measure to also re­ peal many of the war-time excise taxes which, when originally im­ posed, the people were promised would be eliminated within six months after the shooting stop­ ped. The Veterans Administration has announced the refunds which will be paid on government insur­ ance carried during the war will be fifty-five cents a month fo r each one thousand dollars of in­ surance held by those then under forty years o f age, with the rate dropping fo r the older veterans to as low as twenty cents per thousand dollars fo r those over fifty-five years of age when en­ tering service. Maximum payment to any one veteran will be $528. For political purposes the Tru­ man Administration is endeavor­ ing to call these insurance pay­ ments “ dividends,” but actually they are simply refunds o f the over-charges made on the insur­ ance policies issued to those who served in the armed forces dur­ ing the war. Washington rumor has it that W . Stuart Symington, Secretary o f-th e -A ir. Rorces.awill soon re­ sign probably because o f dissat­ isfaction with recent Administra­ tion National Defense policies. Some political wiseacres are pre­ dicting that Symington will run fo r the Senate in his home State o f Missouri, so as to come back to Washington to fi°h t for the things in which he believes. The suit filed by the Depart­ ment of Justice to break up the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company into several independent units, on the basis that the nation-wide food chain buys and sells food too cheaply, is being fought by the Company which is advertis­ ing- all over the country to tell their side o f the story. A . & P. officials insist that if the Depart­ ment o f Justice demands are met their stockholders will make huge profits o ff the sale of assets, but the consuming public will pay a higher grocery bill. The Government is rushing to completion thousand^ o f huge storage bins to hold last year’s corn, upon which Government loans had been made, while farm­ ers who do not have storage cap­ acity on their own farms for this year’s crop and therefore can not obtain government*. loans there­ on, are o ffe r in g to sell corn froml the pickers a t anywhere from sixty to eighty cents per bushel— far below the figure at which the Government - is pledged to support corn prices: American political, financial and business leaders are watch­ ing carefully the repercussions from the wide-spread devaluation o f foreign currencies, which have followed Britain’s announcement cutting the pound sterling from $4.03 to $2:80, and are endeavor­ ing to forsee future effects. How­ ever, it is already being predict­ ed that as a result the devalua­ tion o f foreign .currencies: An election will soon be forced in Great Britain in which the La­ bor Party will probably lose con­ trol of .the British government. More foreign produced goods will soon be sold in ■ the United States at lower prices, while less American commodities will be sold abroad at higher prices. Shipments o f erain and meat products from Canadian and South American farms will find ready markets in Europe, while exports o f farm products from the United States, will drop sharply, and our farm surpluses will increase, with a depressing effect on farm prices. More industrial activity and employment in Europe—less in United States.. British woolens," china, cutlery, . End shoes, especially, are expect- * eri to flood,.American stores witlj- "Tn a few,months. Probably mote British automobiles will also be sold in the United States. " More people from the United States than ever before will va­ cation in Canada, where nine American dollars will buy ten Canadian dollars. Pressure on the United States to devalue our currency by in­ creasing the price o f gold above the present $35.00 an ounce will grow steadily stronger.

ODORIFEROUS! Dynamite Is Magic Worker on: Farmland MustBe Carefully UsedtoPreveut Harm Dynamite 4s the/Paxil Bunyan of the modern farm. Like tlie make- believe, giant lumberman who could uproot trees and do other remark­ able things, explosive's,- properly and carefully 'used; can perform scores of labor-saving tasks about the farm, 'according to'F. ,S. Eldyed, manager of .the explosives and pow­ der divisions, Glin industries, .East Alton, 111. ‘ Farmers today are finding :they ean save much labor and time in digging ditches, blasting out stumps, making post holes, cleaning out water holes and even planting trees by the use of explosives, Eldred says. ' , ' - ’ “ But caution is the watchword,” he warns. Like fire, dynamite is' an excellent servant *and a terrible master. When the farmer uses it with full knowledge of the great labor-saving work it can do, as well as the fearful damage, he has a giant farm hand who can almost perform miracles.” ^OPP IC iAU WASHING-TOM ,1 tam p ing ; f ^FUSE PRIMER CARTRIDGE CHARGE. Figure 1 Stumps are a bugbear to farmers. Each is a problem in itself. The farmer must study the type of stump, whether it has roots that run along just under the ground, or has great tap roots. Then he must carefully plan how to blast out that stump with dynamite. Again “ caution” is the watchword. If not sure, the farmer should consult an explosives expert. But the typical way to blast a stump is to' place the dynamite-'as near as possible under the center mass, or under the largest roots. If there are two large roots, it may be necessary to plant the explosive under both. ; Figure 1. shows the proper way of loading to remove an evenly rooted stump. The charge is under the center of the stump: Sometimes there are stumps with central downward roots, called tap roots. In such a case, as showd in Figure 2 , the charge is placed down alongside the tap root oil the side that will bring it as near as possible to the center of the stump.
