TRUE, TO THE END
THE king of the country was
Josiah, who meant well and
tried to bring .about a revival of
religion. Apparently Jeremiah cor
rectly estimated the ineffectiveness
of Josiah's , charac
ter' and realized
that; the improve
ment was merely
superficial. At any
rate, he did not al
ly himself with the
reform movement,
which quickly died
after the king's
death.
From this time on
under the driveling!

Bruce Barton Jeremiah was aj
stormy voice, denouncing wicked
ness in the nation and folly at
court, and prophesying that Ne
buchadnezzar would surely conquer
Jerusalem. He was imprisoned
When he had written out his ser
mons and prophecies and was read
ing them at court, the king took
the roll, slashed it with a pen
knife and threw it into the open
fire. Finally the prophet was com
pelled to flee with a little group
of refugees into Egypt
There the women of the com
pany found a .new fad in religion.
When Jeremiah spoke to the men,
saying, "Stop your wives from wor
shipping the moon," they bluntly
refused.
Then all the men which knew
that their wives had burnt in
cense unto other gods . . .
answered Jeremiah, saying,
As for the word that thou
hast spoken unto us in the
name of the Lord, we will not
hearken unto thee.
But we will certainly do what
ever thing goeth forth out of
our own mouth, to burn incense
unto the queen of heaven, and
to pour out drink offerings
unto her, as we have done,
... for then had we plenty
of victuals, and were well, and
saw no evil.
But since we left off to burn
incense to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings
unto her, we have wanted all
things, and have been consum
ed by the sword and by the
famine.
In other words, "The Lord doesn't
look after us and the Moon does:
why should we stick to the Lord?"
It was the question that Jeremiah
himself had to face on almost every
day of his lonely, persecuted life.
His Gethesemane is in chapter
twenty, verses seven to nine: "0,
God 1 I did as you told me and
you didn't stand by me!" He would
have liked to abandon it, but the
word of the Lord was "in mine
heart as a burning fire shut up in
my bones." He could not escape
his destiny, even though it led
him over a pathway of thorns and
caused him at last to be stoned to
death.
The book is badly jumbled up,
and only by following the lead of
scholars can one know how to read
it in order to get a clear picture.
Yet even the most desultory read
ing reveals the majesty of the fig
ure that stalks through its pages.
No man ever spoke the truth at
greater personal sacrifice. Jere
miah stood firm against the threat
of the court and the anger of the
crowd; noblest of all he stood firm
when God himself seemed to have
broken His promises and abandon
ed His messenger.
TODAY l
States quietly recognized the inde
pendence of Afghanistan a short
time ago, that nation having de
clared its independence of Great
Britain in 1921. If I were still an
adventurous youth I think I would
like to take a whirl at exploration
in that part of the world. I might
finid an emerald mine or an oil
field, or a chance to build a rail
road.
FAME woman
I can't find any figures that tell
how many of the votes cast at the
last Presidential election were cast
by women, but there certainly were
a good tnany millions. Not one of
them could have voted if it had
not been for the lifetime of work
by the late Susan B. Anthony, the
great pioneer of" Woman Suffrage
in America.
I was glad to have had an op
portunity to be one of those to
nominate her as a candidate for the
Hall of Fame of New York Uni
versity. As a very young report
er I had occasion once to inter
view Miss Anthony, then more
than sevehty years old. I recall
uudly her spare figure and her
quiet but determined manner.
"Government," she said, "is a
job of housekeeping. Economy and
common sense are the main -requirements.
Now, honestly, don't
you think your grandmother has
more common sense than any pol
itician you ever met?"
I wasn't so sure about it then,
but1 as I grow older I think Miss
Anthony was right. I hope they
put her statue in the Hall ot
Fame. It is already in Statuary
Hall in the Capitol at Washington.
PERSIA now Imn
The announcement from the
State department that Persia de
sires hereafter to be called "Iran"
reminds me of P. f . Barnum, the
I circus man. Mr. Barnum built him
self a great house at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, all tricked out with
spires and minarets, and named it
"Iranistan," which was the name
in common use sixty-odd years ago
for the country we now call Persia.
We are getting to know more
about those nations of Western
Asia, since oil has been: discovered
in their territory. Adjacent to
Persiabeg pardon, "Iran" lie
Turkestan, Afghanistan and Belu
chistan, all with potential wealth in
n?1 and minerals as yet undevelop
ed. The Government of the United
ters said the did not think they
could induce men to take them.
"Idleness breeds idleness" is an
old saw that I often heard in my
youth. It is still true.
"ERSATZ" again
During the World War we used
to hear a great deal of the word
"ersatz" which means, in German,
"substitute." People wore "ersatz"
clothes, ate "ersatz" food and so
on. We learned then that Germany
was a nation very short of all sorts
of raw materials, but very ingen
ious in inventing substitutes.
I remember some twenty-five
years ago meeting Dr. Carl Duis
berg, perhaps the foremost of Ger
many's industrial chemists. He
showed me a set of "ersatz" rubber
tires that he had made,, for the
Kaiser's automobile. Germany was
trying even then to make itself in
dependent "of natural supplies of
raw materials. Duisberg's "ersatz"
rubber was not very satisfactory,
however; and very expensive.
Now the word "ersatz" appears
again in the news dispatches. Ger
many is rearming, as she did in
1914. Her people are wearing
"ersatz" clothes again. Her foreign
commerce is falling off. To me the
signs seem ominous.

HOWE his
No man whom I ever knew gave
his entire life so single-heartedly
and devotedly to the service of an
other as Louis McHenry Howe to
Franklin -D. Roosevelt. I have
known Louis Howe for more than
twenty years. In all that time he
had but one goal in life. That was
to put Frank Roosevelt in the
White House. The two men first j
met when Mr. Koosevelt was a
young State Senator in Albany and
Louis Howe a smart young news
paper correspondent, with a decid
ed instinct for politics. He man
aged Mr. Roosevelt's successful
campaign for reelection, and from
then on two were inseparable.
To Louis Howe more than to any
other man Franklin Roosevelt owes
the fact that he, and not someone
else, was the Democratic nominee
in 1932. As far back as 1913,
when Mr. Roosevelt was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Louis Howe
used to tell us newspaper men that
his chief was headed for the White
House. He made himself a master
of political strategy with no other
end in view. Mr. Roosevelt him
self is perhaps the ablest politician
who ever sat in the White House,
but most of his political education
he got from Louis Howe.
JOBS today
I have yet to be entirely satis
fied with the available statistics of
the number of unemployed, nor can
I agree with the widely-held belief
that all of them would rather work
than subsist without working at the
taxpayers' .expense.
1 know that in the East it is
next to impossible to hire farm
workers, while in the villages, towns
and cities thousands are loafing at
public cost. A Jersey City man
advertised . in a farm paper a few
days ago that he would be glad to
work for $10 a month and "keep,"
He got more than 300 replies, many
offering more than the $10 he
asked. But when he tried to get
other unemployed men whom he
knew to take up some of these
jobs, they refused, and the relief
agencies to which he gave the let-
"ADDED VALUES"
Lime Magnesium Dolomite Mono-Calcium Phosphate Di - Calcium
Phosphate Di - Magnesium Phosphate Nitrogen Supplemented Potash
Rare Elements Basic Sweet Non - Acid Forming Homogeneous Pul
verized Continuous Avaliability Chemical Combination Even Distribution
of Plant Food these "added values" all in one fertilizer are made possible by the
discovery and perfecting of BASIC PULVERIZED FERTILIZER by the Knoxville
Fertilizer Company.
The process of making BASIC PULVERIZED FERTILIZER IS:
1st, the plant food materials are thoroughly mixed with ground Mag
nesium Limestone.
2nd, the mixture is reduced to a pulverized condition.
3rd, it is then aged in bulk.
UK it is re-processed when bagged.
Thus is produced a PULVERIZED, chemical combination of plant foods with
carbonates of lime and magnesium homogeneous throughout. You will appreciate
that a CHEMICAL COMBINATION of plant foods is far in ADVANCE of a ME
CHANICAL MIXTURE of fertilizer materials. The plant cannot utilize elements
of plant food until they are reduced to a chemical combination.
Basic Pulverized Fertilizer is made by a definite process, and is a definite
product. It is DIFFERENT, so different it is patented. NO OTHER COMPANY
can make Basic Pulverized Fertilizer.
Of course, you want fertilizer with all these "added values." You get all these
"added values" ONLY in Basic Pulverized Fertilizer. It is packed only in the
green-bordered bag.
