This plant is a peren- own high creation. Preeminently nial and comes back each year in his mind is man created in ? mage. His mind, with its thinking, feeling and willing, 1 ^ makes man a person, conscious of himself and others. And in his -in which he may be moral and spiritual—he is most like God. Why think of the ideal as se!- dom coinciding with the real? It would be better to consider the from the root system. Sericea does not grow much the first year and farmers have not been able to tell much about it until the second year then they find a re markable improvement. Farmers have been able to get good results by breaking the land well and applying 400 lbs. of su perphosphate of mixed fertilizer broadcast. Work this in well with a disk or drag harrow. Allow the soil to settle then around the first of April scratch the surface with a drag harrow or cultipacker and sow broadcast putting abou*; 30 lbs. of scarified sericea seed per acre.

C. tAe t LYTLE HULL PREVENTIVE WARNING The German people take in tense pride in their “national monuments.” The destruction of the great universities at Heidel berg, Leipzig and Bonn would break the heart of many a pa triotic Teuton.

Possibly he would be persuaded t by his advisers to forego the sadistic enjoyment cf committing acts so pregnant with danger of retribution for their native land; but if these advise’; were prompted by an official warning — sent to German/ RIGHT NOW by the governments of the United Nations—that the/ will definitely retaliate in kind for every theft and for every ae, of useless and wanton destruction OCTAGON FLAKES 2 For 15c OCTAGON SOAP * 13 For 25c OCTAGON TOILET SOAP 5 For 21c L OCTAGON POWDER 13 For 25c HONEYSUCKLE SOAP 5 For 21c WHITE EAGLE SOAP CHIPS 5 Lbs.

Oven Proof MIXING BOWL For Only 40 OCTAGOiy COUPONS ideal man as the real, as God de signed him to be, and consider the sinner as an alloy of the real. Jesus was answering his critics concerning the Sabbath, when He asked the questions of Matthew 12:11, but He was also setting a high value on human life. Man is indeed better than a sheep. Man should respectf this truth iwith regard to himself-^-scorning .to set matter above mind, body above soul, and careful to seek first the kingdom of God. He should also follow this truth in his dealings with others. He should not try just to use his fel lows for his own gain. They are not chattels or pawns, and they are better than sheep. Man is* more than all sacrifices • made by him, and yet so much more, that we should be careful not to offend Him by aught we I do. So Paul resolved that, if eating meat which had been of fered to idols should offend some ;of His people, he would never more eat meat. Last we learn of the sacredness of life, as we learn that man’s body should be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Certainly to be the very dwelling-place of God, is the closest and best of the rela tions we may sustain to Him. And in gratitude for the blessed privi lege, we should offer ourselves— our bodies, our motives, our wills —freely to God that He may find a fit abode in us. and and one edifices which are as sacred to the German men- perpetrated against the helpksi tality as is Westminster Abbey to i conquered nations — the pressur 3 an Englishman or Notre Dame might become so great that evsn and the palace &t Versailles to mad Hitler would not dare com- the French. j mit the acts which civilizatio 1 Consider what it would mean now fears from his retreatir. : to practically every German who had not lost his identity and all sense of decency through associa tion with the gutter-born Nation al Socialist party, if the almost unbelievable relics of* the world’s past in the museum at Berlin were taken forcibly from them; or if those two of the world’s most magnificent collections of the “Great Masters,” in Dresden and Munich, were lost tq them forever. The Germans are by no means all phlegmatic and unemotional creatures, and they are not all like Hitler and his roughnecks, nor are they all swaggering Prus sians. Many of the more sincere patriotic of our enemy’s people think far more of their native land than they do of the fatal ideology which is sweeping it toward ruin; and many would doubtless risk their freedom, and even their lives, before they would contemplate such losses without makng their voices heard where they might have effect. There is much talk—whether true or not—that Hitler intends to take to Germany every mova ble work of art from France, armies. The German people might takj a certain amount of satisfactic-a in hearing that Rome and Par.j were leveled to the ground; b-ii if they were officially warned now, by pamphlets dropped a., over Germany, that such destruc tion meant elimination from off the face of the earth of Berlin, M$bich, Dresden and every oth r cit$f in their land—the clama/ from the civil population migh; become too violent to be ignor.d by the Nazi authorities. The “powers that be” in Wash ington, London and Moscow aro naturally better informed than the ordinary civilian as to the volume of fire which exists be hind all the smoke about Hitler’s intentions: but if there is even the slightest possibility that he contemplates a crime which will rob civilization of such a large proportion of its irreplacable treasures—then every conceivable precaution should be taken te prevent it, and such a warning from the United Nations to the German people—might seem to be one of them.
