Adam had to go to Work and snaln Ma hntno garden hevauae Kve hud eaten a ripe June ajple aod so it was up to Adam to redut the high cost of living by planting a home aarden. Erar.tlv the thing Is going on in Asheville "is spring. Business men. tired busi ness men. are planting home gardens thst there may be available a rnsh surplus for silk sport, skirts. And inai s ine way it goos. The first day's spadlnar made Adam sore, In two different ways, and Eve probably had to rub him with arnica and listen to remarks that Adam was afterwards ashamed of making. Ashevtlle drug stores are experiencing a run on (heir stocks of arnica today, the like of which thev have never e- perienced, and they attribute It to the Interest aroused In home gardens by men who don't spade themselves, personally, but who approve of others spading. There has been a marked onthuslasm In the city over home gardens, and business men, looking out of their office or store windows imagine a sweet picture of them selves plucking potatoes from their own potato vines, as It were, and gathering sweet pens from bushes In their own gardens. They often for get that before the otatoes or the sweet peas may be gathered that the seed must ibe planted and the neces sary spading done. Fifteen minutes' personal contact with a heavy gar den spade gives the picture a different tinge, and after that the work is often done by long distance telephones, or Dy proxy. This, Is well Illustrated by a lWtle Incident In a Patton avenue drug store, yesterday. Demand For Arnica. "Arnica?" answered the polite cierK. "certainly. How much, sir?' The Asheville business man grunt ed. Seating himself very carefully on a stool facing the marble topped counter he grunted once more. "Gimme a dollar's worth. I'll need It. 1 ve been planting a home gar oen. out i m through, girls, I'm through, I don't mind telling you." With a discreetly hidden smile the drug clerk hastened to fill the order and while waiting for hl arnica the Asheville business man thought of many things. Tenderly seeking a more comfortable position he looked out on the throng filling Patton ave nue, but found no Joy In the sight.. Brllllant-'hued sport coats vied with men's $7 straw hats gaily decorated with silken bands. The murmur of the crowd filled the store. "Huh. and these are the people the newspapers want, to farm, and raise vegetables, and and spade." He groaned and looked around for the drug clerk and his arnica. "There seems to be nutte a demand for arnica," smiled the clerk, hand ing him a small bottle and accepting a dollar bill. "That's the twenty third order I've filled today." "Twenty -two' other, blamed fools besides me, then," groaned . the busi ness man, as he left the store and was lost In the crowd. Home gardens are good things, In sist certain Asheville business men who ask that their names be with held from the public gaze. But while they theories expounded by. those urging everybody to lower tho coat of green vegetables 1 by planting their own gardens, they are quite willing to let It go at that One man who spaded In his mis-guided enthusiasm and home garden for twenty-seven min utes at a stretch says If ever he re covers from It he's going to advise all his business acquaintances to do the same thing. Personally he thinks thirty minutes of active work with a sharp spade In ground well-baked is equal to six months' military training and as a preparation ror war h DR. OOYCE TOPPER AT FIRST BAPTIST DELIVERS STRONG SERMON AT MORNING SERVICE. 'A Pathetic Appeal of Our Earnest Truth-Seeker" Is Subject Text From Job 23:111. At the First Baptist church yester day morning, the Rev. Dr. Kerr Boyre Tupper. of Philadelphia, who Is sup plying the pulpit Of the church during April, while en route home from a visit to Florida, delivered before a very Inrre congregation, a strong ser mon on the subject, "A Pathetic .Ap peal of Our Karnest Truth-seeker." His text was "Oh, that I knew where I might find Illm," found In Job 23-111. "Of all the questions that challenge man's thought and agitate man's Bpliit," bald Dr. Tupper, "that of the Oodhcad is by far tho must funda mental, the most profound and the most puzzling. It has Insoluble In finite factors; It stands over against our awc-llllcd vision, tho divine Uolng unfathomable by us. Hence the divergent conceptions of God as those of the agnostic, of the materialist and the Christian. "And yet, this Is true: God may be known, has been known and is known today with a rapturous knowledge by the devout soul, the submissive spirit and the surrendered life. Love ulone knows love; purity alone reflects purity; obedience alone brings one In touch with Him who is to be obeyed. Not that this knowledge in exhaustive, for none of our human knowledge Is exhaustive, even when preaching questions of science or philosophy. Everywhere "we know only in part." We cannot know God fully, but we can know Him really and consolingly. As through sight we get knowledge of color and through reason of ma the matlca, so through consciousness of God. The Divine Being Is above us but not beyond us. His and our lines may not touch but they run In close clear parallels. "And there be fine media for thought which man has revelations of God; Hist, in nature, his living car meat in which the infinite has robed His loveliness; second, in providence. and history, the mighty inovemonts of Individual and national life; third In the scriptures, where the teachings respecting him are so clear, authori tative and consoling; four, in Jesus Christ, who, on earth was the projec tion of the Divine Into human form, and fifth, in spiritual consciousness to which God so grarlously and glorious ly reveals himself. When Phillips Brooks spoke to blind, deaf and dumb Helen Keller, she told him she had known of an Independent Supreme Being. 'tflere Is what we know of God: that he Is a spirit existing from eternity, creator of heaven and earth: that He Is one, and yet revealed in three per sonalitles; that He is perfoct in every attribute and capacity: that He Is providential and not careless of self- acting; that He Is a Redeemer, lifting man from sin to salvation, from selfishness to service; that He is a Father, with a heart of infinite compassion and love." Dr. Tupper Vlll nil the pulpit of the First cnurch again next Sunday. BIG GAME IN FOREST THRIVING, HE SAYS CAME FROM THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK.

Alarming nWkri, nf rnnHltliiu wn.cn inreaten decimation of the Yel lowstone elk herds sre beginning to reach the department of agriculture, both from the Jackson's Hole region and fnem Gardiner, Montana. The danger Is said to be due to an ex ceptionally heavy winter snowfall and late oncoming of spring. Deep-crusted snow Is preventing the elk from obtaining their usual feed and the weakened animals, especially the calves, are reported to be dying rap idly In spite of the large supply of hay provided by the federal govern ment for such emergencies. This supply, however, has been exhausted. The elk, which winter around Jack son's Hole, In Wyoming, are known as the southern or Jackson's Hole herd and number more than 20,000. The northern or Park herd Is esti mating by the park authorities to contain over 0. 000 animals. Ac cording to the reports received by thO. forest MrvirA tha lrtMc In th. southern .herd may reach even as high a figure- as one-third the entire number, with practically an entire loss of last year's calves. In the northern herd conditions' appear to be less critical, but an Immediate spring break-up is eagerly hoped for by those Interested in seeing the elk preserved. 'when I left Gardiner about three weeks ago," said Charles Sheldon. the explorer and naturalist, who was selected by the government to repre sent the sportsmen In the elk census attempted this spring, "the elk that I saw seemed on the whole not In bad condition for this time of year, ex cept the calves, many of which were pretty weak. But the snow was un usually deep and the elk widely scat. tered in search of food. I understand It has been snowing since I left and that considerable losses are thought probable. The winter has been ex tremely severe and both elk and do mestic livestock are bound to suffer under such exceptional conditions. Because of the deDth of the snow it was Impossible to make the elk cen sus that we had planned. Heavy Snows. 'Ordinarily there isn't enough snow to prevent the elk from getting at their feed. This winter, however, a succession of atorma has piled the snow up, with the result thathe ani mals have become weanenea oy pro longed starvation. At Jackson s Hole the Biological Survey had over eou tons of hay available for feeding the elk, but 1 understand the supply is now exhausted. 'In most places feeding the elk :s out of the question.. Hay costs around (40 a ton and it Is almost lmpossohle to get hold of any at that price. The cattle and sheep men are unablo to secure enough to feed their stock and will, I am told, probably suffer heavy losses. Even If unlimited amounts of hay could be had there would be no way to get it to the elk, since tne roads are Impassable. In many places In the Yellowstone Park re glon the mails are being carried by men on snowshoes and sklls. Elk preservation Is a matter that presents many difficulties. It involves problems which cant be solved with out careful study. It would be neither wise nor a possible policy to at tempt exclusion of homesteaders and stockmen from the natural range of the elk to the extent that would be required to lnsurae adequate natural feeding grounds In a year like this. At the same time nearly everybody now recognizes that something should be done to guard the elk against re curring years of starvation. "The solution is evidently some form of carefully thought-out on trol, under which there will be pro vision of a sufficient amount of both summer and winter range for a rea sonable number and also some pro vision for utilizing the normal tncre ment of the herds instead or letting the elk alternately multiply and starve off. To provide feed for -elk the for est service has either prohibited or greatly restricted grazing on about two million acres on the National forests of the Yellowstone region. This, according to the forestry peo ple. Includes by far the larger part of the remaining available winter elk range on those forests, "which can be reached by the elk. The most seri ous feature of the sltuatloi Is that In the past the elk have been in the habit of wintering largely In open country outside the Nat:onal forests and the Yellowstone park, on land which Is now in homesteads. Work lnir out the rirht policy calls for ex pert study of the whole subject along the lines already undertaken by the officials In charge. CLOSING EXERCISES AT FAIRVIEW SCHOOL DR.
