THE FARM BOOM AHEAD
A survey by real investment agen-
cies in Chicago, reporting an up-
surge in farm land sales promising
boom proportions by Autumn, has
particular interest to the agricul-
tural Southwest which for some
years has been a major attraction
for outside capital.
The survey, based on information
from real estate boards, mortgage
and insurance companies and the
National Farm Bureau Federation,
cites several reasons for the rise in
purchases of farm lands. The prin-
cipal one is that Investment, as well
as city population, is shifting to the
farm as a protection against infla-
tion. Under inflation, productive
land will be much more valuable
than the money originally paid for
Iwfvt !t
Other factors contributing to fram
land buying include the fact that
federal legislation will no doubt
assure favorable prices for farm
products during and after the de-
fense emergency. Another is the
generally improved crop outlook,
notably in the Southwest, by reason
of increased rains. The threatened
curtailment of home building be-
cause of material shortages likewise
W'ould divert investment from the
cities to the farms.
In this significant shift back to
the land, there also is an important
realization, lost for many Americans
during the rise of industrialism,
that human beings are dependent
upon the soil for sustained life.
When people lose this kinship with
the earth, they also drift away from
the process of creation and, from
faith in a Higher Source that pro-
vides this creative force in life.
Rome and many other lost empires
prove that people who lose their
contact with the land and their
faiths are doomed in the march of
civilization.—Fort Worth Star-Tele-

SAM SELF-MADE SINGER
Slngin’ Sam, homespun star of
Refreshment Time, earned himself
a radio audience of eight million
over 243 stations without ever tak-
ing a single singing lesson in his
life! He says he just drifted from
barber-shop quartets into minstrel-
shows and vaudeville.
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Sept. 7 Is Revelation 1-3, the
Golden Text being Rev. 2:10, “Be
thou faithful unto death, and I
will give thee the crown of life.")
AT THE TIME of the writing
of the book of Revelation by
John, the beloved disciple, the
Christians were being ruthlessly
persecuted. They had had a period
of comparative calm.Jbut when
the Roman emperor,*Domitian,
proclaimed emperor worship, the
persecutions which had been con-
fined to such prominent leaders as
Paul and Peter were extended to
everyone who would not buy his
liberty by conforming to the
Roman religion.
It was a dark time for the
Christians, and John, the only dis-
ciple who had known Christ per-
sonally now left at the close of the
first century, had been condemned
to work in the “mines of Patmos,"
which are thought to have been
marble quarries, as no mines were
known on this island in the
Aegean sea.
It was the Lord’s Day, and John
was, as he says, “in the Spirit,"
when he heard a great voice, like
a trumpet, behind him He turned
to see who was speaking, and saw
"seven golden candlesticks;
"And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son
of Man, clothed with a garment
down to the foot, and girt about
the paps with a golden girdle.
Hair White Like Snow
"His head and his hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow;
and His eyes were as a flame of
fire;'’
“And His feet like unto fine
brass, as if they burned in a fur-
nace; and His voice as the sound
of many waters.
"And He had in His right hand
seven stars: and out of His mouth
went a sharp two-edged sword:
and His countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength."
The golden girdle symbolized
righteousness; the white hair
and head like snow or wool, were
symbols of purity; brass is a sym-
bol of judgment, and His feet be-
ing of that metal would indicate
authority and victory over all His
enemies 1
John tells us that he “fell at His
feet as dead." but that the appa-
rition "laid His right hand on me,
saying unto me, Fear not; I am
the first and the last:
"I am He that liveth, and was
dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore. Amen: and have the
keys of hell and of death.”
Then John was told to write to
the seven churches in Asia, for
the seven golden candlesticks and
the seven golden stars were the
angels of these seven churches
We are not sure what is meant by
the “angels" of the churches, but
presume they were the elders or
leaders.
Each church in turn was
praised for the good it held and
the work of its members, and each
was told their faults. The church
at Ephesus was commended for
its works, labor and patience, as
well as other things, but told that
they had “left their first love,” the
love of simplicity and purity.
Church at Smyrna Poor
The church at Smyrna was very
poor—probably the members had
been fined so that all their money
and property had been taken away
—reminding us of the present po-
sition of the Jews in the countries
controlled by Germany. They were
to fear none of the terrible things
that were to befall them, but were
to "be faithful unto death, and I
will give thee the crown of life.”
The church in Pergamos was
praised for holding fast the name
of Christ even “where Satan's
seat is," but among them were
men of pagan tendencies They
were told to repent.
Unto the angel of the church ol
Thyatira John was to write that
the Lord "knew its works, char-
ity, service, and faith, and thy
patience and thy works." But they
harbored among them a bad wom-
an named Jezebel, who should be
cast out, or punishment would
surely follow.
The church at Sardis was told
to "be watchful and strengthen
the things which remain, that are
ready to die; for I have not found
thy works perfect before God."
“I know thy works," was writ-
ten to the church of Philadelphia,
“because thou hast kept the word
of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation
which shall come upon all the
world."
The church of the Laodiceans
was "neither hot nor cold," which
is probably true of many today.
They were lukewarm, so were not
doing the work for which they
were founded. This church
thought it was rich, He said, but
was, in reality, "wretched, and
miserable, and poor, blind and
naked." "Buy of Me gold tried in
fire," they were told. "Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock; if
any man hear my voice, and open
the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with
Me.'
“To him that overcometh will I
grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame, and am
set down with My Father in His
throne."

Keen Post-War ‘Race’
For Cotton Markets Is
Foreseen By Officials
HILLBORO—Lamar Fleming, Jr.,
head of Anderson Clayton and Com-
pany of Houston, said here Saturday
it was probable that the the Euro-
pean war competition for export cot-
ton would be even stiffer than at
present because of an exodus of
people seeking land on which to make
a living.
He spoke at a meeting of the
State-wide Cotton Committee called
by Chairman Burris Jackson of
Hillsboro.
Fleming did not make this as a
prediction but as a probability, say-
ing that the people whose land and
homes had been ruined by the war,
and, those who were “sick of war”
would find new lands where they
might obtain farming space and that
by the State-wide Committee and Its
meeting.
This session also brought forth
the resolution favoring a sound cot-
ton insecticidal law for Texas. It
was pointed out that 20 per cent of
arsenic Is needed to make poison for
cotton insects but that some of the
preparations placed on the market
during this season have been as low
as 5 per cent.
Dirt Farmers To Work
The Dirt Farmers Congress of
Texas also is working with the cot-
ton committee and the regional
chambers in obtaining passage of
the insecticide law at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Other speakers at the general
meeting were Henry W. Spielman
the first crops they would of El Campo, field supervisor of the
torn to would be cotton.
Fleming also advanced as a prob-
ability that after the war, in at-
tempting to recapture the export
trade, producers would go into cot-
ton raising on a large scale, using
machinery in order to produce at a
low cost and thus meet world com-
petition.
Asks Lower Tariff
He expressed the opinion that the
tariff would have to be lowered if
an export cotton business is to be
carried on.
Anderson Clayton and Company
is one of the world’s great cotton
export firms.
Two hundred men from every
section of Texas attended the meet-
ing at which resolutions were adopt-
ed for a survey of possibilities of
regaining the export cotton market
after the war and to ask the Legis-
lature for a law assuring certified
analysis of all agricultural insecti-
cides in Texas.
The first resolution provided for
a committee of Fleming; Dr. A. B.
Cox of Austin; Marc Anthony, Dal-
las; E. J. Kyle, College Station; and
Pete Moiyneaux, Dallas, these men
representing the three regional
chambers of commerce of the state.
This resolution was adopted at a
joint meeting of the agricultural
committees, presided over by El-

of the Texas Extension Service; A.
M. Goldstein, department store mer-
chant of Waco, Alston Clapp, Sr
secretary of the insect control sec-
tion of the State-wide Cotton Com-
mittee; and Congressman Wright
Patman of Texarkana,
Spielman recited the advantages
of the one variety program, which
he said was now being conducted in
19 areas of Texas. He said that
under this plan one variety would
be raised in an area, it being tested
as valuable or certain uses, so that
a manufacturer would know just
where to obtain the kind of cotton
he desired.
Consumption Discussed
Goldstein discussed the various
phases of cotton consumption, re
lating the progress made in the pro
duction of finer cotton materials,
especially ladies’ hosiery, and in the
making of cotton paper.
Clapp declared the cotton insect
program in Texas had been handi-
capped by shortage of poison and
because in some instances the poison
bought was not up to standard,
while in many cases the farmers
were using the poison improperly.
During the day there also was a
Toni, and later approved state-wide defense meeting with

SAN FRANCISCO—This is the
story of Charlie Wong, 26, who pro-
moted himself from first class
houseboy to first lieutenant in
Uncle Sam’s army.
Chinatown indeed was proud of
Charlie as he walked smartly down
Grant Avenue snappily attired in his
army uniform, replete with silver
bars.
The almond-eyed honeys of China-
town thought Charlie was just about
tops—and Charlie enjoyed that.
He enjoyed, too, the incident the j
other day when a rookie selectee
from the Midwest happened through
Chinatown and Charlie his silver
bars, glistening brightly from care-
ful polishing, hailed the youth.
“Here, carry my satchel," Charlie
ordered.
The rookie looked at Charlie’s
silver bars and, being just a private
himself, snapped to attention and
lugged Charlie's bag.
Well, that kind of goings on made
Charlie quite an important fellow
In Chinatown, until somebody, pos-
sibly a young swain whose almond-
eyed doll fell for Charlie’s snappy
uniform, began checking up.
From the effects gathered In
Charlie’s room it appeared that soon
he intended to promote himself a
couple of ranks to major.
For in Charlie’s room G-men
found major's gold leaves, an as-
sorted batch of officers caps, avia-
tor’s wings, and a not at all modest
collection of medals.
Behind bars Monday, awaiting ar-
raignment Tuesday on charges Of
impersonating an officer, Charlie
grew philosophical, saying:
"Mebbe I was clazy, huh?"
LONDON BOWUES NOT
TAKING BETS ON WAR
LONDON—Bookmakers are refus-
ing to take bets even though there
Is a slump in greyhound racing ow-
ing to the war.
But the bets they are refusing
have nothing to do with racing.
They are on the outcome of the
war.
“Every day we receive inquiries
from clients, old and new, as to the
odds we will lay on various aspects
of the war,” said a London book-
maker.
“But we will not quote. War is a
matter far too serious.”
