What Will 1930 Bring/
(A. C. L. Railway Bulletin.)
Like everybody else, the rail
roads enter the New Year with
certain definite needs and hopes.
The railroads’ idea of a Happy
New Year would be for 1930 to
bring a large increase in traffic
that moves by rail; a cessation
from further increases in taxes;
and a more general understanding
by the public of the fact that the
railroads must be allowed to
charge enough for their service to
yield incomes that will support the
service they must give. ,
The things that would make
1930 a Happy New Year for the
railroads would make it a Happy
New Year for other interests as
well. Some people may think that i
the railroads are hardboiled, but
there never yet was a railroad
man, worthy of the name, who did
not know that when the railroads
are busy the country as a whole is
busy and prosperous. Heavy traf
fic means full time employment
and sustained purchasing power
for railroad workers and good
business for the merchants and
others with whom they trade. It
requires purchases of an endless
variety of articles that in turn
furnish work for other industries
and provide fat payrolls for count
less communities.
While railroad taxes have in
creased 295 per cent in 17 years
the railroads are not the only suf
ferers. Every industry is crying
out against the tax burden. While
Federal taxes have been reduced
and another cut is assured, these
savings are more than offset by
the steady growth of state, coun
ty and local taxes in every part of
the country. Industrial leaders are
realizing more and more the ex
tent to which this ever-increasing
tax-load makes their production
costs mount up and increases the
price the consumer pays for every
commodity.
Business-like administration of
public affairs by competent execu
tives offers the only hopa of relief
from a system of taxation that
now sucks the lifeblood of creative
industry.
In the past 8 years the average
charge the railroads are allowed
to make for their freight service
has been whittled down and chip
ped away until in 1929 it was about
15.2 per cent less than in 1921.
This has resulted in total decreases
of railroad revenue in the period
1922-1928 inclusive of more than
4 3-4 billion dollars. At the same
time demands on the railroads
have enormously increased. The
public of 1930 would not tolerate
the railroad service of 1921. Busi
ness has been geared up to a new
high speed, made possible by quick
and reliable rail service, that now
depends upon 1930 model trans
portation and is constantly look
ing for still greater Improvement.
Transportation of the sort thkt
the public demands today is cost
ly. It requires enormous expendi
tures for new and improved equip
ment and facilities. In order to
keep their plants abreast of the
times the roads must earn enough
to establish their credit upon a
basis that will enable them to se
cure the needed funds. Inade
quate earnings mean inadequate
credit and, as a consequence, in
adequate transportation. And in
adequate transportation places in-
surmoutable barriers in the way
of business.
So the railroads are not entirely
selfish in the things they would
like to have the New Year bring.
The Atlantic Coast Line looks
forward to 1930 confident that it
will witness further substantial
progress in the Southeast and a
further improvtment in Coast
Line service that will make pros
perity possible.

The time to buy feeder cattle de
pends on the system of feeding,
the feeds used, and the quality of
the cattle. If the lower grades of
cattle are bought for immediate
fattening in dry lot, it is general
ly better to buy in early fall, so as
to get them marketed in late win
ter or early spring. The lower
grades usually reach their peak
prices before June, though steers
of good quality and condition may
sell to advantage a little later in
the season. If cattle are to be fin
ished on grass and there is suffi
cient roughage to sarry them
through the winter, fall is the time
to buy. Buying feeders in the
spring for finishing on grass th3
following summer should be limit
ed to cattle that are fr Ir'.y ma
ture. Not much finish can be ob
tained on young growing cattle
that are roughed through the win
ter and marketed off grass the
following summer. * .

The Lure of
Com Bread
6 By JANE OSBORN
0-0-0000-00-0-0-0-Q-00000000"000-0-00
(Copyright.)
¥T MIGHT not have made your
* mouth water—that street ear pic
ture of. corn bread—but Hope Mawson
had lunched early and lightly, and
the yellow square of corn bread made,
as the ad said, steaming hot, with a
cup of coffee at the side—also steam
ing—and two nice, neat butter balls
on a butter plate—all this was pleas
antly tantalizing to Hope Mawson,
even though the picture was only an
advertisement for , Folger’s famous
cornmeal.
Hope was riding homeward on the
street car and the advertisement was
directly opposite her, so it was not dif-
licult for her to dwell upon the tempt
ing sight fof many minutes.
It was Diana’s night to cook dinner,
to be sure, but Hope would stop at the
corner grocery store, buy 'some Fol
ger’s cornmeal and make some corn
bread and have it ready by the time
Diana had finished the rest of the
dinner.
Here Hope’s meditations were sud
denly cut short. ' The conductor was
calling “Love-a-lavenue,” and Hope
knew that Lovel ‘avenue was five
blocks beyond her own street.
Brandon Jones, who had been sit
ting beside her, rose with her and
also went toward the door. Hope
walked three blocks and then stopped
at the grocery store. Oddly enough,
Brandon Jones went into the grocery
store, watched her as she made her
purchase and stammered out with con
siderable embarrassment: “Dog bis
cuits, please,” when the grocer’s clerk
asked him what he wanted.
Then Hope proceeded, and the man
proceeded. He even crossed the street
where she wanted to, and preceded
her into the hall of the apartment
where she and her companions, Diana
and Daphne, lived. The hall boy spoke
and let him pass. Obviously he was a
resident. Yet why, if he lived in that
apartment, did he ride on to Lovel
avenue?
Hope was interested In this appar
ent mystery, but not so interested as
to forget her cornmeal. She quickly
changed from her office clothes to a
washable house frock, and rn five min
utes more had the cornmeal and flour
and milk beaten up as she had seen
old Sally do so many times in her
childhood.
Daphne and Diana declared the
corn bread to be exactly like the
"corn bread old Sally used to make.
They were feasting merrily on it when
the.bell of the apartment rang. They
exchanged surprised glances, for call-
el’s never came unannounced in that
apartment. . Hope fled to the - door,
and there stood Brandon Jones.
“Excuse me,” he begna, and before
he had time to go further wkh his
apologies he sniffed and said: “My.
but that smells good! I smelled it
way up in my apartment, and that’s
why I came. You see—”
“Fm sure we all would like to have
you come in and share it with us,”
said Hope, looking at Daphne and
Diana, who had now appeared in the
hall.
And so Brandon Jones was ushered
into the living room, where the large
table had been spread for dinner.
Brandon then explained. He hoped
Miss Mawson—the elevator hoy?told
him her name—would accept his apol
ogies.
He had sat beside her on the car
and had been interested in the inter
est she showed in that corn bread
advertisement. He had seen her be
fore and knew that she lived in this
apartment, so when she rode past her
street he knew it must be because of
her preoccupation in this advertise
ment.
He got off Avhere she did and fol
lowed her into the grocery store, and
to Ids delight she bought the corn
meal. Later he got the tempting
smell of baking corn bread through
his open window above—corn bread
and coffee, just ns the picture had sup
gested. He was looking for a good
rule for corn bread—he thought per
haps lie might be able to secure hers.
“You see, I’m an advertising man—
Jones of Jones & Hancock—”
“Oh, I didn’t know you were that
Mr. Jones,” said Daphne, with much
respect, hearing the name of the larg
est advertising concern in the city.
“And we just took over the account
of Folger’s corn products—want to
make a big thing of it. I thought a
picture of corn 6read would make a
good street car card—tried to get our
artist to make It as real ns possible.
Mr. Hancock thought that was a little
too simple—wanted to try something
clever, you know. But we thought
we’d try it out. So when I saw you.
Miss Mawson, reading the advertise
ment I felt that at least one street car
rider was Interested. And then, by
jove, you went to the store and bought
the cornmeal. I’ll have to tell Han
cock—"
Mr. Jones ate two, then three pieces
of the corn bread and declared that
Miss Mawson was the best cook in the
world, and he never said a word about
Diana who had cooked all the rest of
the dinner.
But th’en right from the first Mr.
Jones had eyes only for Hope.
“And that was as It shbuld be,” said
the practical Daphne a month inter
when Hope and Brandon announced
their engagement, because usually the
men they- knew admired all three—
“and divided admiration," continued
Daphne, “la not conducive to diamond
solitaires.”

Lesson for January 19
JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 4:12-25.
GOLDEN TEXT—Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Chooses
Some Helpers.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Begins His
Ministry.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—How Jesus Began His Ministry.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Comprehensive Program of
Jesus.
Jesus began His official work as
Messiah at Jerusalem where He pre
sented Himself to the men of the Jew
ish nation.
I. The King His Own Herald (vv. 12-
17).
1. The reason for this (v. 12).
The news of the Imprisonment of
John the Baptist caused Jesus to for
sake Judea and go into Galilee. The
fate of John was accepted as fore
shadowing His own. The rejection of
the forerunner meant the rejection of
the King, whose advent he proclaimed.
Because of this He withdrew from the
metropolis and went to the remote
regions where His work would attract
less attention.
2. To whom the proclamation was
made (vv. 13-16).
It was to the people at Capernaum
in fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy
(9:1,2). These people were not blessed
with such privileges as those in and
around Jerusalem. Thus we see that
the darkest and most corrupt of the
provinces was getting the light first.
In this we see a foreshadowing of the
present age, when the gospel of the
grace of God is being preached to the
Gentiles.
3. His* message (v. 17).
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.” This is the same king
dom which John the Baptist and the
Old Testament prophets proclaimed.
It means the Messianic earth rule of
Jesus Christ. It is for this we pray
when we Intelligently say, “Thy king
dom come.” At that time the light will
break forth which shall illumine the
whole earth.
II. The King Calling to Himself As
sistants (vv. 18-22).
1. His command of authority (vv.
18.19).,
He did not endeavor to persimde
them, and He did not use arguments
but Issued the mandate. To command
is the King’s prerogative—not to argue
or entreat.
2. The station of the servants
called (vv. 18,21).
They were men of lowly birth and
occupation—fishermen. God chooses
the foolish things of this world to
confound the wise and the weak things
to confound the things which are
mighty (I Cor. 1:26).
3. They were called to definite
service (v. 19).
“I will make you fishers of men.”
He had previously called them to be
disciples (John 1 :36-42). He now called
them to service. This call therefore
was not the gospel call to sinners
which is “believe on me." but the call
to service of those who have already
heeded His call to diseipleship. The
qualities which made for good fishers
—patience, bravery to face the storm
and the night, the perseverance which
toiled all night though no fish were
caught—would make for good fishers
of men.
4. Their prompt obedience (vv.
20.22).
They put their trust in Him who
called, believing that He was able to
supply their needs. There Is no time
for delay when the King commands
III. The King’s Triumphant Progress
(vv. 23-2'.).
He went the whole round of Galilee,
teaching the Scriptures, preaching the
Gospel of the Kingdom, and heaiing
nil manner of diseases. He did a three
fold work:
F Teaching the Scriptures in the
synagogues (v. 23).
The revelation of God needed to be
explained. This is what He was doing
In Nazareth (Luke 4:16-22). Such is
the primary business of every minister.
2. Preaching the glad tidings of the
kingdom (v. 23).
The King who was present and was
heralding His own mission, was ready
to establish His kingdom if they would
have been willing to receive Him.
3. Healing all manner of diseases
(vv. 23-23).
“His fame went throughout all
Syria, and they brought unto Him all
sick people that were taken with
divers diseases and torments, and
those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatic,
and those that had the palsy; and He
healed them."
What God Has to Tell Us
If we think no more of ourselves
than we ought to think. If we seek not
our own but others’ welfare, If we are
prepared to take all things as God’s
dealings with us, then we may have
a chance of catching from time to time
what God has to tell us.
