Vlborg is the capital of the amt or county bearing Its name and has been the seat of a bishop since the Eleventh century. Bright Idea That Mar Have Averted Tragedy Allusions to the effective use of ridi cule against his opponents made by the late Lord Balfour during the term of his chief secretaryship for Ireland recalls an Incident of long ago, when a body of convicted prisoners who had been concerned In one of the rebel lions—the 1848—had to be marched through the streets of Dublin. The authorities had been warned that a desperate attempt at rescue might be made by the mob and even though a military escort had been provided, there was some uneasiness. In these circumstances a really brilliant notion occurred to the officer In command of the troops. He gave Instructions st ♦he last moment that the suspender buttons on the trousers of the prison- ers were to be cut off and thus they bad to walk through the streets hold ing up their tronsers. The spectacle was greeted with roars of laughter by the crowd, and uo more was heard of the attempted rescue.— Montreal Fam ily Herald. Males Aloaa Vocal The fabled henpecked husband may well took with envy upon life tn the ♦asm world, for there, according to Uaymond L. Ditmsrs of the New York sootoglral gardens writing In Boys' fife. It is the male who makes all the noise, the female being condemned to eternal silence. The chief singing insects, says Mr DUnutrs. are crickets, locusts and katydids. The males of “all these lo sing by ruhhing the forward of the wings, which, when close ly examined, look like mica. These •re ih** resonating or strldulaling or gana. In the female they are lacking. However, the males more than make up for their mates* silence. The vol- •me of sound produced by Hume stn:ill crestures is astonishing.” RsUtieea Benny, age eight, had attended a family reunion and was one of the most Interested of all the guests. He beard his mother Inter telling a friend about the gathering “And all our *lm-laws* were there, too.” she said. Next day Benny was assigned to •Bteftaln a caller, president of the cul ture club his mother Monged to while bis mother slipped into another dress. Benny drew on all his powers of de scription In telling her about the fam ily reunion. “And all our outlaws were there, too,” be said proudly. “PUaia Stand By'* This phrase, so commonly used by vadio broadcasters, signifies “Be ready, 4a wait for further messages or pro gram, keeping the receiver in opera tion and tuned to the same frequency.” This use has probably been adopted from the nautical term “to stand by,” because the radio ut first was em ployed largely in connection with ship ping. The sailor is ordered to stand the anchor or the main sheet, In readiness for the next order with re gard to it.

AMOt. A HKftOtMAN CALLCO Of OOO TO BK A PftOPHKT I.K.SSON TBXT—The Book of Amos. GOLDEN TEXT—1 heard tha volca of tho Lord oaylns. Whom shall I aond and who will go for usT Then eald I, Here am I, Bend ms. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Hhapherd Who Became Great. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Shepherd Who Became Great. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Answering God’a Call. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Work That Serves Ood. I. Th# Calf of Amos (1:1). He was a herdsman and gatherer of sycamore fruit (7:14). As a herds man his income was not sufficient, therefore, he supplemented It by sell ing sycamore fruit. He was not n prophet by succession, neither was he trained In the prophetic schools. He sat not at the feet of any great teach er. God called him from a humble 'life to stand before the king. A proph et Is one who forthtells more espe cially than foretells. His primary work was proclaiming God's message rather than predicting events to come. II. To Whom Was Amos Sent (1:!)? God sent him primarily to Israel, the northern nation. Though he was from Judah, his ministry was to be pri marily to Israel. It was during the reign of Jeroboam II when the north ern kingdom had reached Its highest state of prosperity. This prosperity, as is usually the case, was accom panied with a condition of lumry, cor ruption. and gross wickedness. III. Amos* Message. 1. Sins denounced (2:6-8; 6:1 6). (1) Avaricious greed (2:6-8). a. Sold the righteous for silver Or. 6). The judge for s bribe of silver de clared the innocent ty be guilty. h. Sold the poor for a pair of shoes. Tiie word ''shoes” doubtless means sandnl*. the price of which was com paratively small. c. Pants after the dust of the earth (v. 7). The word “iwnt” means to eagerly desire. So avarh-loiis had these men Income that they even grasped after the earth which the downtrodden poor cast upon their heads in mourning their misery. d. Turned aside the way of the meek. These grasping rich men turned aside those who did not stand up for their rights. e. Lb etitiou*net* (v. 7). It was not merely the case of fall ing into sensuous sin but Indulgence with a definite purpose of insulting God and dishonoring his holy name. • (2) Reckless security (0:1-3). They were living In a “fool's para dise” and closing their eyes to the ap proaching storm of Judgment predicted by the prophet. They regarded their city us impregnable. The strength of a nation is Ua righteousnean, not Its wealth and armaments. (.3) Luxury fvv.4-6). Their luxury expressed Itself In: a. Extravagant furniture (r. 4). They had beds of Ivory, which means perhufi* wood Inlaid with Ivory. b. I^ixlness (v. 4). Many stretched themselves on their couches, living lives of Indolence. c. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). They bought what they desired re gardless of Its cost. d. Adorned their feasts with music (v. 5». They sang Idle songs, even invented musical Instruments for this purpose. e. They drank wind (v. 6), They drank from howls, Indicating excessive drinking. Though their feasts were adorned with refinement of mus ic. they ended In drunkenness. (4) They failed to grieve for Joseph (v.O). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh. 2. The remedy proposed (5:4 0). The prophet called upon them to return to God. He said, “Seek ye me and ye shall live.” The implication U that while as yet the divine judgments are stayed an opportunity Is offered for them to turn to God. “Seek” means applying for help. The time to repent Is while judgment is stayed. In their turning to God they were to renounce: (1) Idolatry (vv. 5,6). They were to turn away from the places of Idolatry—Bethel, GHgal, and Beersheba. God's judgment was to strike these places. (2) Cease to penert judgment (v 7). Turning judgment to wormwood Im plies the hllterness of the perversion of judgment to the Injured. i (3) Cease to dethrone righteousness. Leaving off righteousness Is thought to mean that unrighteousness was al lowed to take Its place. He now for the third lime urged them to seek the Lord. Praia# Ik# L#r4 C#©d l« Ik# L«Kd—kts tori of kt*4> of fcuropr ' At th# •amw i ni#, th# protrvted manufacture r* imported million# of pauper laborers of Europe, Italians, Poles, Slavs and othera, espe cially fn»m Southern and Southeastern Eugope, to work in the iron foundries, steel mills and factories of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and the other manufacturing centers. Until comparatively recent years the standard of living in the mill dis tricts of Pittsburgh, for example, was actually lower than it was on the plantations of the Southern States when they were operated by slave labor. For proof of the statement, see Theodore Dreiser’s descriptions. Hundreds of millionaires and multi millionaires were created in the East by the Republican tariffs and the vast importations of European work ers were given long hours ,at low wages, and so they drove out thous ands of native Americans. That was how the protective tariff lawg affected American industry until at last the people became alarmed and the Congress adopted measures re stricting immigration. “Protection of American labor” was a lie and a sham until it was pro tected from invading hordes of im poverished European#. The “pauper goods” were kept out of the country and the paupers them selves were imported. Farmers and others, deprived of European goods, paid the high prices that the tariffs imposed ami thus created the multi millionaires. t A similar process with precisely the same effect is going on in agriculture ! in California, Arizona and parts of Texas. There great planters, many of them corporation planters, largely on lands made fertile by irrigation at government expense, are producing cotton with imported Mexican labor. These Mexicans are bn ught across the border and employed in great numbers especillay at cotton picking time and other seasons when demand for workers is at peak. Picture a cot ton plantation in one of the South western States owned by a corpora tion and having 5,000 acres in culti vation. How is the cotton to be pick ed? These States have not large negro populations. There are industries paying higher wages that attract native workers, in cluding negroes. Thus are million aires created in the cotton business, and many of them live thousands of miles from the plantations. The abuse is even gieater than! was th»t of the importation of Europeans to wark in the Eastern factories. The Europeans came with the intent of being converted ultimately into Am erican citizens. Most of them now are naturalized American citizens but the Mexicans lemain Mexicans. Their labor produces hundreds of thousands of bales of cottcn to he sold in competition with the cotton of Alabama and South farolina. The great plantations of the Southwest could not be operated without them. It is a fact that nobody denies. Is it any wonder that white men and their families are driven fiom South Carolina farms to beg for work in cotton mills and that the wages in the cotton mills are kept down? Such is the argument that James F. Byrnes has rung the changes upon in his contest for United States sena- ter. The beauty of it is that it is a practical point. It actually contains the promise of substantial relief and help to the cotton farmer. It is one cf the few proposals of assistance to the cotton grower found ed in plain common sense and common justice that has been made in the last ten or twenty years. These Southwestern planters are allowed to pursue precisely the same course that is pursued by the great mine owners of South Africa who use negro tribesmen and Asiatic coolies by tens of thousands. The system is so patently opposed to American policy that even s Demo cratic minority in congress would pro bably succeed in breaking it up. What U needed la a leader make the thing plain. H# has hit worn Urn mm ptaa for the help of the mtua grower that ha« been suggested. At least the South Carolina growers of cotton should be saved from unfair competiticn with the labor of foreign peons. For that Byrnes is fightihg. It is a fight founded in justice and in common sense. It is a fight for fain play.
