' We see where a candidate for public office in an other State has pledged himself to ''restore agricul ture to ihe farmers." . ....... ... - r'y ' The candidate stresses what he terms" oppressive, med'ssome, bureaucratic handling of farm Srob foms and holds out the bait to agriculturists that, if v elected, he will give agriculture back to them, un fettered and free for the exercise of individual ini- - tictive. ,- Naturally, the man seeking votes does not add that to "restore agriculture to the farmers" he would have to abolish governmental assistance, including price guaranties, subsidy payments and other ef forts to improve the economic status of agriculture. This would hardly get votes, but if farmers are to ; be relieved of all regulations, restrictions and con trolsthey will also be relieved of financial assis- , tance from the Government. When we speak of financial assistance from the ' Government, we do not should be discarded. In fact, so long as the nation maintain a protective tariff to benefit selected in dustries, it should, by every test of f airplay, give the farmer financial assistance in order that he may escape the penalties imposed upon him in the sell ing of his crop.

I Consequently, there are grave implications in the ' exhortation of Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels to the German people to present the Al lies with a "fanatical population" and to harry for ces of occupation by guerrilla-type warfare. -If the majority of the German people carry out the suggestion of Goebbels, they will probably suc- ceed in killing additional be unfortunate inview of casualties, but the more serious implications invol- ved in such fanatical course are of stern conse quence to the German people themselves. '. When the German armies have been broken up - and rendered helpless as military forces, the Allied . armies of occupation will necessarily apply Vigorous end severe regulations to the German population. If thereafter the German people resort to a gang- t.cr-type of assassination, the Allied High Com rnend will have no option but to take punitive and ''' rttsT.tory action."" ;X t Ve would not like to see such things happen, xvsn in Germany, but if they must occur, let us jre rrrrrr.bsr that the Germans are asking for it.

'' r-K". , Education without religion will make America a pagan nation in a generation -or two. Evan worldly minded educatora are concerned about the negtect of and opposition to Christianity in many branches ot - our country's educational system. Christians wm want to be in formed and W act as they have on portunity to bring Christian in fluence to bear on the education of children. They will want to give their hearty support to real Chris tian education. L Seek Wlsam from Oed (Matt 7:7-11). .. -'vi-V'w We have mad great progress In the Improvement of educational equipment, in the construction of fine school buildings, and in the pre vision of trained teachers. There have been earnest effort to de velop the most-effective courses of study adapted to the needs of eur day.-- v,, ,-Vv J. All this is commendable except Tor one thing, and that la really a foundational error. We have given little, if any, attention to the de velopment of character, without which the skills of hand and of head may be actually dangerous. The odore Roosevelt is said to nave ob served that "to educate a man's mind without educating Us con science Is to make him not a social asset, but a social liability" (Doug lass). The teaching in our schools of the evolutionary theory as though it were fact when it has never been proved has provided foundation for an manner of denial of God and of the truth of Bis Word. what ahall wis do? Surrender? Mot at aS. Let us look te God for Bis ! wisdom and grace. The promise is that the one who asks, receives, when be asks in faith and for God's glory (ct James 1:5-8 and 4:3). Prayer is vital in real education. H. ijse Wiedem with Men (Matt 7:12). 'v.? - ' Education has as one . of its im portant goals the ability to get along with our fellow men. A the Lord enables us la grow a wisdom- and knowledge, it should show in our treatment of those who look to us for guidance and help. - ' This so-called Golden Rule Is a high standard of conduct.wbicb many profess, but which only the grace of God can accomplish in a man's life. To always be positively doing for and to others what we would have them do for us is far more than the negative thing which most people assume it to be. They reverse it and are trying to avoid doing things to others that they would not have done to themselves. ., Note again that this, is on the posi tive end the active side. We are to go about doing good, such as we would desire tor ourselves.' , m. Fallow Wisdom tn Humility (Luke 6:88-42). 7 U the teacher U spiritually blind he will lead his equally blind pupa into the ditch. That Is exactly what la haDDenine in many schools and colleges. No pupil will rise higher than his teacher (v. 40). Real education makes a man humble. He is not ready to destroy his brother's eye because it has a speck in it tor he recognizes his own weakness and sin. He needs the grace ot God in his own life first; then he is ready to give help to others. There is something fine about the genuine sweet humility of a man who is really educated. He Is not pompous and proud,- parading his learning so that tha populace may be impressed. He Is humble and teachable. Real scholarship calls for genuine faith in God. ' IV. Find Wisdom In Godliness (Luke 8:43-43). Every tree brings forth its own kind of fruit Christian character is a fruit which grows only on the tree of Chriitian doctrine. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis dom (Prov. 8:10). That means thai to be truly educated a man must be a Christian. That which is good and noble aad upright can be brought forth only from a mind and heart of which the same things are true. (v. 48). An evil man will teach others evil, a a-ood man wil teach them that which is good. Hence, the folly of thinking that u a teacner only rial a brilliant mind, and, is versed in the technical learning ef his pro fession, it makes no difference what his morals are nor bow he Uvea T.at theory has brought rain to thousands of young lives, and It is hifh time that all who have to do wi.h educational work demand -J go;;"y character as the first requi site of the teacher and made it tLe leading subject to the curriculum.

S, 'army units brought their big guns :tnto full play as dogged doughboys ' slugged their way through the Sieg . fried line above Aachen in the face : ot mounting German resistance. I Although pie main' fighting focused above Aachen, action remained heavy along the whole 460 mile front. with the Germans seeking to unset f Ue Allied advances with strong ar ' mored counterattacks. , With an array of 75 to 240-mm. field ' pieces Uryng a ereeping barrage be . fore advancing doughboys, and witn ' squads of tanks rumbling over the I countryside to blast enemy strong IpoinU at short range, Lieut Gen. Courtney Hodges Third .American army tore a big hole through the vaunted Siegfried kne, ' finding sta , tionary defenses manned by inferior German troops, with the best saved as reserves for counterattacking. -. Equally bitter fighting raged on . either side of the Third army sector. with the Nazis counterattacking strongly around Nijmegen in Hol land to ' blunt the, British Second army's end run around the Siegfried line in the north, and elite enemy troops putting up stiff resistance to doughboys flushing" them' out of the great underground fortifications guarding Metz, key to the coal-laden Saar basin. On the southern anchor of the western front " (he enemy fought back viciously '.from prepared de fenses in' the rolling countryside in an effort to stop the U. S. Seventh army's thrust toward passes in the Vosges mountains and the wide Bel fort Gap leading into southern Ger many. ,; ' " ' " In Italy, the V. 8. Fifth army pushed closer to 'the great con-" ' muni cations center ef Bologna, through which the enemy has been routing reinforcements te . his sagging Po VaUey front As the Russians increased their nressure asainst Hungary, and other Red forces drove across Yugoslavia xor a junction wiw w. o. mna suuni units, the Germans were put to it to plug up the Balkan gateway to- southern Germany. Although the Nazis reportedly suc ceeded in withdrawing the bulk of 200,000. men from the southern Bal kans before the British invasion of Greece and the- Russian drive to sever communication lines along their escape route, the Reds pressed to nip off the strsggllng remnants. In driving across eastern Yugo slavia, the Russians overran rich metal deposits around Bor. which the Germans had been working ex tensively, and enveloped the capital of Belgrade. With Romanian troops fighting by their side, the Reds ad vanced to within 133 miles of Buda pest heart of Hungary. ? . CATTLE MARKET:' , Prices Strong , , Large government purchases of low-grade beef, and decreased hog shipments in the face of big demand, will tend to keep market prices at a high level this fall and winter, the department of agriculture reported. Because ef the sale of more range cattle than last year, however, and the relatively smaller marketings ef finished grades, overall prices may average lower than in 1948. With a much larger prospective supply, calves are also expected to fall be low last year's prices. At ceiling prices throughout mid summer, hog- prices are expected to remain high through the next six months, with the government In the market for the smaller pork supr'Jes reflecting the 24 per cent reduction In the spring pig crop. rascixLArjY Th firtt 8-29 Supnlnrlrtm cot t3J92J96S0.

FAST PACIHC OCFAN y POSTWAR INDUSTRY: Fear Concentration To prevent the concentration of in dustry in 11 northern and eastern states in the postwar period, a sen ate committee recommended that the government stand against the re conversion ot its war plants in these states to civilian production. Indicating the possibilities of such concentration, the committee point ed out that before the war these 11 states produced 63 per cent of the nation's manufactured goods and re ceived 51 per cent of all plants' and facilities erected by the government for the war effort Besides calling for a shifting of war production to the south and west after Germany's downfall, the com mittee recommended an adjustment of freight rates, attention to patents, and technological aid to small in dustrialists as part of a long range program for stabilizing business In these areas.. ; x CHINA: , , , In Crisis " News from China recently has been none too rosy, with the coun try's armies jailing back before the Japs' drive to seal off . the whole eastern coast to counter an attempt ed American landing, and the U. 8. air force compelled to abandon four advanced bases before the enemy's push. ; - .

Jap Ship Shortage ; " : Effect of the heavy U. S. aerial and naval campaign against Japa nese shipping in far Pacific waters was reflected in the Tokyo radio's announcement that a shortage in ocean tonnage bad contributed to a food crisis. Flood and drought were other factors mentioned.' Tokyo admitted the critical ship ping situation as 'the destruction of 81 more vessels by U. S. wax planes and subs was revealed, and as army fliers Intensified their at tacks on enemy craft plying In the Philippine area. . One ot the principal U. S. tar gets was the great oil storage cen ter of Balikpapan on Borneo, r EXPORTS V Best customers for U. S. goods in 1941 were Great Britain, which took 31.8 per cent of our total exports of 33,147,000,000 including lend-lease; Canada, 19.3 per cent; Egypt, 4.9 per cent; and South Africa, 8.6 per cent . With 16.5 per cent, Canada sold U. S. the greatest percentage of for eign goods, With British Malaya sec ond with 10.3 per cent and the Neth erlands Indies third with 7.2 per cent Brazil fullowcj with 5.5 per cent and Cuba wilh 5.4 per cent High Level , With an Increased volume of crops marketed as the harvesting season ,innPMi Snntember farm income jumped up 24 per -cent from the preceding month to approximate $1,880,000,000 and total $13,848,000, 000 since theArst of the year, 6 per cent over 1943. ' i ' v ; ' The 6 per cent Increase In income for the first nine months of the year approximated the boost In farm pro- duction, with crops up 7 per cent and livestock 6 per cent Gains " in cash receipts from tobacco and cotton were especially pronounced while substantial in creases also were shown In oil-bearing crops, with only flaxseed failing to keep pace. With greater sales of meat animals anticipated, the sea sonal decreases in marketings of dairy products was expected to be offset, x ;: ',':. 'v-v'; Reflecting a boost fa vala atlons of real estate arising from ; ' higher prices, farmers equities have increased by 30,0O8,000,OS since "the start of the war, so cording to H. R. Tolley of the U. 8. bareaa of agricultural ecenomtce. . At the same time. Tolley said, the accumulation of $l2,000,00q,000 of "cash or liquid assets gives the farm ers a sizable nest-egg with which to readjust operations in the post war period. ' ; " , Future equities will be greatly In fluenced by prevailing price levels, the amount of . debt inxnirred and the uses made of accumulated war time assets, Tolley asserted. Under the Impetus of wartime conditions, Tolley said, agriculture grew- Into a $70,060,000,000 industry In 1944 from $49,000,000,000 in 1940. If cash, deposits and savings bonds were added, the total value of the farm plant would approximate $83, 000.800,000, he said. - Battle Royal Even in the excitement of war time, this year's presidential elec tion promises to de velop into an old fashioned political dogfight As both candi date! warmed up, President Roosevelt declared: " ; . . "Some political propagandists are now dragging red herrings across the trail of this national election. For exam ple, labor baiters President Reosevelt and bigots and some politicians use the term "communism" loosely, and apply it to every progressive social measure and to the views of every foreign born citizen with whom they disagree . ; ," The same week, Governor Dewey proposed to "., . . Revise the per sonal exemption so that the man who makes $11 a week no longer has an in come tax taken out of his envelope . . . Reduce., personal in come tax rates . . . Change and lower the Income tax on incorporated J busi ness companies so that it as longer acts as a drag upon Gov. Dewey production . . . Shorten the present endless list of nuisance taxes. . ; WAR PRODUCTION: Labor Shortages As result of the War Manpower commission's system of referring job applicants to important war in dustries, employment- problems in the heavy-tire, artillery, ammuni tion, rayen, aviation gas, rockets and mica plants throughout the country have been relieved. On the -other hand, the WMC re ported, radar,, tire cord, explosives and ammunition loading plants, and certain critical shipyards, lost work ers despite the need for additional numbers.'. ' '. ., .' , . WMC reported smaller labor turn over in recent months in essential IndustrirS, with 4.9 per cent of the total now quitting compared with 6.6 per cent last June: With employment la the na tion's mines falling to the low-, - est level In years, domestic and " Industrial coal consumers were warned to continue fuel ,coa servatlon and bay whatever kind ef coa tras available Instead ef waiting for preferred grades.' ' With one man out of .every six having left the mines since Pearl Harbor, employment in the industry has dropped from 558,000 to 463,000, with, a shortage of 32,500 men ex pected by the end of the present coal year. , As a result ot labor losses, em ployment in anthracite mines is the lowest since the 1870s, while the number of workers in the bituminous pits Is the smallest since 1902.
