the way for other states to inee^ slm- J
Uar problems next year.
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

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

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,

dering Jacob (v, 15). Though he had
sinned and was reaping what he had
sown, yet God was with him.
III. Jacob’s Vow (vv. 18-22). s
God’s gracious visitation provoked’
Jacob to make a vow. Each sight of
God should cause us to renew our ob-
ligutloTTto him. Ills vow Included three
things: (1) Dedication of-himself to-

Two Types of Weariness.

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

would, that do I not, but what I hate,
that do I." Pastor Hsl, a notable Chi

But, O, for the tpuch of a vanished hand
,And the sound of a voice that Is still.
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. J . . ,
