Seven million ucres of wheat called for harvest help. The army and wur ~ industries were taking increasing num- ( £ hers of men from the state. Railroad fares had been raised, impeding the movement of workers. A shortage of from 00,000 to 100,000 men during the harvest season was indicated by a la bor survey made early in the year by the county agents in co-operation with the schools. The ptcblem was up to the state farm help specialist (representing the department of agrlcuUure and the ex tension division of the state agricul tural college), the United States de partment, of labor, the county agents and the farm bureaus. They received co-operation from chambers of com merce and business men’s clubs. The farm help specialist visited 85 of the 105 Kansas counties and discussed the lubor situation with farm and town people at eounty meetings. Later at eight district meetings delegates from the farm bureaus and other farmers’ organizations from-every county rec ommended wage scales for the districts and that labor, be paid by the boor in stead of the day. At a state meeting 45 cents an hour was decided on us u fair wage. Recruiting Town Men. Late in May the farm help specialist developed a method of recruiting town and ylty men for help hi the fields.. Work was started under a proclama tion by the governor through the coun ty and emergency agents. Working with the chambers of commerce and retail merchants’ associations definite records were obtained of approximate ly 30,000 men In oyer 500 towns and cities who were willing to answer the harvest call.. Headquarters ut,Wichi’ta und 20 local offices 'were opened by the department of labor to recruit men from outside the state. In farm bu reau counties the agents in nearly ev- r |r. G *********************£ GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT The more the farmer shows the get-together spirit the great er is the advantage accruing to him, personally and‘from a busi ness standpoint. New Ideas," pro gressive methods, valuable busi ness connections can be gained only by rubbing elbows'with the world outside his own fences. Taking an active and positive part in community events, Inter change of views with successful men of affairs, getting beyond the border of his county and state and mixing with people— this is to make himself felt in £~hls own community. All this a broadening value, not easy to compuid in hard dollars and ?ents, but quite easy to sum up fn profitable results. **««***+***•*********♦«««*+ Frugality vs. Shiftlessneaa. Before the long, wet winter month* set hi, when the greater part of his machinery and implements are not in use, the thrifty farmer carefully goes over them, piling, using paint when necessary, supplying broken or missing parts and. putting everything under shelter. These and other frugal char acteristics differentiate him from tho shiftless, haphazard farmer who leaves his iinplemenfs exposed to the weath er, who lets the fences around his house and ham full down, perfectly contented to throw a hoop over his corral gate rather than put on a new hinge or repair the old one. The former, it may be taken for granted, is a ploW-deep, use-fertilizer, cultivate-thoroughly and foke-advan tage-of-the-market farmer—in a word,, a successful farmer; while the latter is a scrntch-thc-ground and trust-to- luck Individual whose failure he at tributes to anyone but iitmself. No right-minded farmer could toler-. nte being In the second class; and, on the other hand, every funner coming under thut category ought to aspire to the first classification—and now is the time to start. Farm Made to Pay. For ten years a 500-acre farm in cen tral Michigan failed to pay interest ou (he capital invested. One year after the owiiers had been induced to make certain radical changes the farm paid all expenses of operation and returned them 5 per cent on. an Investment of $00,000. These changes Were; Sustitutlon of four-horse for two horse machinery; substitution of bet ter stock'for unprofitable cows In the j the life is withheld from God. (2) Wor- Jacob’s soul Was peculiarly tested. He had to leave home und mother. On the way to Ilaran night overtakes him, and he is obliged to sleep in a field w ith a stone for his pillOMC ^and the canopy of heaven for a covering. It was under such circumstances that the Lord t ave him the wonderful vision at Bethel. Many times the rough expert/ ences and severe trials of life help ns on toward God. Luxury and heavenly visions do not usually go together. This finds illustration in John on Fat- mos; i Stephen looking into heaven while being stoned, and John Bunyan In Bedford Jail. 1. IK saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven (v. 12). This suggests a means of communi cation between earth and heaven, be tween man and God. It showed Jacob that In spite of his awful sin there was a way to heaven for him. Jesus Christ Is the ladder connecting earth and heaven for us (John 1:51; 14:6; Hebrews 10:19, 20). In the Incarna tion Jesus Christ descended to earth’s lowest depth and made a way upon which human feet might climb to heaven. Fortunate are they who In the times of earth’s trials discern this ladder! 2. He saw angels of God upon the ladder (v. 12). They were ascending and descending upon this'ladder. These angels were i he divine helpers to render needed as sistance along life’s way. Though un seen, God’s angels guide and protect us on > our earthly pilgrimage. They ascend unto the Father with our needs, and descend unto us with God’s reply. Christ Is a real man, and so can Iden tify himself with us; he Is the very God, really dlyine, and so is able to lift Us to God and secure our reconcilia tion with him. 3. He saw the Lord standing above the ladder (vv. 13-17). To show Jacob (hut the ladder did not merely reach Into space, the per sonal God appeared and talked with him. HLs message Is filled with infi nite grace. (1) -He declared the God of Abraham and Isaac (v. i 13), thus assuring Jacob that the same hand that guided his fathers was over him. (2) He renewed the covenant as to the land (v. 13). Though Jacob was now fleeing from the land, yet^the covenant would not fall, for Jacob and his seed shoilld possess it. (3) As sured him of a numerous seed (v. 14). They would spread abroad to the north, and south, and east, and west, (4) The dlvihe presence with the wan dering Jacob (v, 15).

Each sight of God should cause us to renew our ob- ligutloTTto him. Ills vow Included three things: (1) Dedication of-himself to- God fv: 12). This is the first thing to do.

Indeed, one-third of! the^ people In the w o r I d follow a r e 11 g 1 o n — Buddhism—which promises rest, or rather extinction, as its chief boon. Two Types of Weariness. The words of Jesus suggest weari ness of two types, which nfay be de scribed ns active and passive. Some are wetty because they “labor.” The toil of life exhausts them or the en deavor to live righteously throws them Into despair. They cry/ “For that which, I do I allow not; for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that do I."

George Whltefield was so oppressed oy a sense of guilt' fhnt he lay for hours at a time on the floor of the public house w-here he worked; and John Bunyan has pictured himself In the “Pilgrim” with th? great bundle on bis back. But, no matter what form of weari ness may trouble us, Jesus offers rest to "air who labor and are heavy fadeu. First he says, "Come unto inl and I will give yon rest" This we take to refer to that rest of con science whlgh he bestows as a gift on all who come to him. This spttles their position etornallv and they are “safe In the arms of Jesus.” What a great boon this is! John Wesley found It only after he had been an or dained minister for years. He was on his way to Georgia as a missionary to the Indians when a dreadful storm arose. He was frightened, Yxut found some simple Moravian Christians sing ing through the storm. Even the wom en and children were not afraid to die,. Wesley discovered they had learned the secret of pence by trusting In Christ alone for salvation, and he be came a seeker for the same rest of sonl. He found. It at last, and as the result the Evangelical Revival was born. To come to Christ Is to believe on him, to trust him (John 6:35). To all who thus come he gives rest of con science. But many who have this gift are still oppressed from day to day by the cares of life. To them Jesus speaks again, saying, "Take my yoke upon yon and ye shall find rest unto yonr souls." This deeper rest, which Is found by taking his yoke, is well worth onr attention. It may be well to ask the i question, what Is a yoke for? The answer is found In the reference of the text to a "burden."/ The yoke Is to enable an animal to draw its burden. More over, the burden will be "light" only when the yoke Is "easy." It Is Just as when, among$Jt ais, the horse’s col lar ' Is rightly adjusted and well padded: the animal then finds ft easy to draw Its burden, hut otherwise Its shoulder Is galled and it refuses to pull the load. , Hefe now we ar^ coming to the prac tical point. Jesus tells us the very, things we-need in our yokes to make them easy so that the burden of life will be light. “Take my yoke npon you,” he says, “and learn of. me, for i am meek and lowly In heart." It is because we lack meekness and low liness that the yoke galls and the burden Is heavy. As we understand It, "meekness” Is onr attitude to men, especially, while "lowliness” describes onr attitude to God. Jesus had both graces in per fection;" In the very chapter where our text is found, men call him a glut ton and wlnehlbber, but he is u fled, saying, "Wisdom Is Justified of her children." Agqln, God hides his secrets from the wls,e and prudent but Jems in his lowliness says: “Even so Father, for soit seemed good In thy sight." When we are thus'iheek and lowly, it is evident the yoke will be easy and the burden light. Yokes are made for two and those who wear Christ’s yoke may assure themselves that, he hlmsqjf will jour ney beside them, contributing his great strength to drawing the burdens that oppress them.
