Unless the railroads of th? country
are permitted to increase freight
rates by at least 15 per cent, the investments
of life insurance companies
and the savings banks of the country
will be jeopardized, Kdward C. I)ufield,
president of the Prudential Lifeinsurance
company, told the Interstate
Commerce commission at a
hearing in Washington on Wednesday.

Stop In Time To Win
Mark Twain's "Sermon To Salesmen"
is not so well known as it ought
to be, and is certainly deserving of a
place in every series of lecture or
preaching. I could and I would,
name quite a few men whose preaching
would bo more effective if they
had heard it, and heeded its moral, in
early days. Once, he alleged, he
went to church, and there heard a
missionary give an address. "He
was, he proceeded, "the most eloquent
orator I ever listened to. He
painted the benighted conditions of
the heathen so well that I resolved
to break a life-long habit and contribute
a dollar to teach the gospel
to my benighted brethren. As the
speaker proceeded I decided to make
it five dollars, and then ten. Finally
I knew it to be my duty to give to
the cause all the cash I had with me
?twenty dolla rs. The pleading of I
the orator wrought upon me still
further, and I decided not only to
give all the cash I had with tpy,
but to borrow twenty dollars from
my friend who sat at my side. That
was the time to take up the collection.
However, the speaker proceeded,
and I lost interest, and finally
dropped off into a sweet slumber;
and when the usher woke me by prodding
me in the ribs with the collection
plate, I not only refused to contribute,
but I am ashamed to state
that I stole fifteen cents from the
plate."?Methodist Recorder ('Lon

Hack To The Country
Hack-to-the-farm movements have
long been held up as economical assets.
With business, industrial, commercial
and economic structures
tumbling in all nations as they are
today, back-to-the-farm may turn
from a Chamber of Commerce slogan
for a better day, to a battle cty for
existence.
The time may come within a decade,
some tell us, when eyery man
must keep himself alive without the
commodities cried out as essentials
to life in high-powered advertising.
The economic structures may become
too complicated to exist. The individual
will tower over the system.
The machine will fail; men will carry
on.
He that a* ;t may. these columns
have said time and again, there is a
gradual hejira 'back to the country ?

Piv-ldeiit Motherland of the St.

"Our farm sales for the first
four months of 1931 are 50 per cent
of the entire sales of 1950. Last
year was the first in ten in which
the farm population has shown an
increase. I am firmly convinced that
both our agricultural and industrial
situation^ will be near solution when
the proper balance between the farm
And city populations has been restored."

THE BAD EFFECT OF ENVY
It is One of Most Potent Enemies to
Success in Life, Unless Curbed
Worry, hard work, dissipation, poor
judgment, ill health, deapnodency?
all theee ard enemies of success, but
none of them has a more evil effect
thun envy, the Gaffngy ledger says.
This little demon is always on the
alert for a chance to (pop into the
most unsuspecting head. If the soil
is ripe for him, he insinuates that
you are not receiving enough of this
world's goods for what you are giving.
He blackens your friend's character
by causing you to draw unfair
conclusions about him.
Envy tells you that you are not
appreciated; that honest work has no
reward?only grafters and hypocrites
get on in the world. He gives you a
false estimate of your own ability. I
Then you begin to loathe your job
and hate your friends. Your work is
not up to its former high standard.
You become a confirmed pessimist
and see bad in everyone.
Happily, however, there is a cure
for this condition of mind that envy
produces. If your friends are prosperous,
be glad, because it indicates
what can be done with the proper
amount of determination. Let their
prosperity be a lesson.
If your friends are well liked you
may be -sure there is a good reason
for it and that you can learn the
secret by close observation.
Take advantage of every opportunity
to help and serve that is within
the scope of your ability. Then you
have a different view of the
world in which you live. Your change
in attitude will 'bring rewards unexpected,

Is red. The hue of planets represents
their true colors, while the color of
stars Is caused by the temperatures of
their surfaces. Observed through a
telescope, VenAs Is seen to be covered
with brilliant white clouds, while
the clouds of Jupiter are saffron..
Mars Is not obscured by clouds, however,
and through a telescope Its surface
can be observed. Th$i shows wide

as red desert, possibly a red sand or
