you to understand the grand idea
which our management has decided
upon. It’s really splendid!” She
smiled, showing white pearlish teeth.
J. P. studied the sheets a mo
ment, and then looked up somewhat
questioningly. “I notice something
about a thirty day free—”
She smiled. “No, this is not ex
actly free. Yet, it is free in the
sense that you'll not be paying for
the new car at the present time.
What you’ll be paying the mere $250
for is absolutely prompt delivery
of your new car within seven days
after your deposit” ( /
J. P. gave this a careful thought,
then asked, “Supposing the car is
not satisfactory, and the depositor
decides he does not care for this
type car?"
“That’' she said quickly, “is a
very good question. In fact. I’m
Holloway wanted to disown Jimmy until a beautiful woman proved
that father and son were cut from the same pattern.
T RAILING smoke from an ex
pensive cigar, stoutish J. P. Hol
loway led his wife from the ele
vator and into his private office.
“Knew the moment you called," he
flared, “Jimmy had wired for more
money. But I’ll not send him one
cent Not one red cent! You under
stand?”
Mrs. Holloway settled herself in
the nearest chair. The gentle ex
pression on her small, motherly
face did not change. “As a matter
of fact,” she said softly, “I did hear
from Jimmy, but—”
“Knew it” J. P- interrupted,
“knew it all along. You were sit
ting right here when I told him I
would absolutely not tolerate any
foolishness from him while he was
attending college.” He hesitated
momentarily as he puffed furiously
at his cigar, then added, “And now
that he has gone and invested over
his head in this—this blind enter
prise with this woman whom he
thought was his friend, and she has
run out on him with the capital and
left him without as much as fare—’’
It was then the intercom buzzed.
J. P. flipped the button irritably.
“Yes?”
“A Miss Jenkins to see you, sir,”
came a voice through the intercom
set.
“Has she an appointment?” he
asked.
“Oh, goodness!" Mrs. Holloway
broke in hurriedly. “James, I for
got to mention her. I asked her to
stop in today.”
J. P. froWned. “Well,, who is
she?” he asked caustically.
“We met yesterday at Mrs. Wel
lington’s dinner party,” she replieef,
as she patted an imaginary gray
hair in place; then added, “She is,
I think, associated with the Delbam
Motor corporation in Detroit; there
fore, Pm sure, in a position to help
us buy a new car sooner than we
could have hoped to otherwise. . . .”
'‘But I don’t want a new car,” he
countered, "I have just had our old
car overhauled.”
“But—surely, James,” she re
turned somewhat pleadingly, “you
can spare her a moment.”
J. P. paused momentarily as he
relit his cigar, and then flipped on
the intercom set. "Send Miss Jen
kins in,” he said briskly.
What J. P. saw entering his office
a moment later was a dark, slender
woman, and in the mid-afternoon
light she was almost beautiful. The
coil of her black hair pinned into a
chignon at the nape of her neck,
the tailored gray suit with the white
pleated blouse was very becoming
to her straight shoulders, and nar
row slender hips, he thought.
“It’s so nice of you to permit me
a few minutes of your valuable time,
Mr. Holloway,” she began. Then,
with a slight nod toward Mrs. Hol
loway, she added, “I’ve heard so
much about you and your rapid ad
vance in the business world, that
it’s really quite a pleasure. . . .”
J. P. grinned. “Thank you,” he
said, as he adjusted his tie. “I—”
“Your wife," the saleswoman in
terrupted. “has told me that you’re
interested in a new car.”
“And remember this, Mr. Hallo
way,” the saleswoman continued
amiably, as she laid a slender
hand upon J. P.’s desk, “you’ll
again be setting the pace. The first
to recognize a good proposition.
Never let it be said, ‘J. P. Holloway
overlooked a good bargain.’ ”
Whereupon they laughed heartily.
After a moment’s pause, J. P.
turned to Mrs. Holloway and said
hesitantly, “You know Martha,
we’ve had our old car some time
. . .” he made a slight gesture with
his free hand—"it’s in good condi
tion now that I’ve had it overhauled
—yet, one cannot tell about those
old models. Why, just the other
day, John Fetters was telling about
his old car’s stalling in the noon-
hour traffic on Fifth and Vine. We
wouldn’t want that to happen to us
—would we—dear?”
Mrs. Holloway considered him sol
emnly. “But James,” she began,
“you said you were not interested
in a new car—”
“Oh, I know, I know,’’ he protest
ed in alarm. “I wasn’t—that is,
until I heard this offer ftfiss Jen
kins has made. And you should
know that I never let a good propo
sition slip through my fingers. No,
sir, not J. P. Holloway.” He then
turned and smiled at the saleswom
an, a warm, intimate smile. Then
“W-well, I really—”
“That’s fine,”—she leaned closer
—. “It’s certainly a privilege to
have this opportunity of explaining
our new car and system to intelli
gent people.” She paused to turn on
additional charm. “The fact is, we
are merely trying this new car out,
and want only to try it through peo
ple of yoqf high reputation.”
“This.”—she laid some sheets
carefully before J. P.—“will help
“I’ve heard so fnnch about you
ness world, that it’s really quite a
glad you brought that up.” She
hesitated to ash her cigarette and,
in doing so, seemed to be concen
trating on the proper clauses to use,
as she continued, “Now in the event
you are not completely satisfied, the
management will gladly refund your
money and return the car to the
factory. Isn’t that fair enough, Mr.
Holloway?”
“Oh, yes. quite fair,” he said,
through the haze of cigar smoke, as
he resumed reading of the typed
sheets. They seemed all in order,
he thought. Though the thought of
a new car was somewhat new to
him, yet, this seemed to be such a
good investment, in fact—too good
to pass up. Why, he’d be getting
the jump on the boys at the club,
who were thinking and talking about
getting their new cars next month.
Next month! Why he’d have ilia
within seven days. . . .
T HERE was a brief hesitation,
and then he said, "Sounds all
right. But—”
Miss Jenkins broke in, “I can
readily understand, Mr. Holloway,
a man of your intelligence will be
suspicious of an investment of this
nature. And well you might be.
Yet, I can assure you—you’11 be pat
ting yourself on the back within the
next ten days.”
J. P.’s eyes wandered across to
Mrs. Holloway for her approval.
No comment.
“Ye*, Lord, we Jove Thee,” quick we make reply.
Then—’’Feed my sheep,” He says, and clear and

continued, “To whom should I make
this check out. Miss Jenkins?’’ he
asked, as he fingered rapidly
through his checkbook.
“James,” Mrs. Holloway broke
in, "perhaps we better not be too
hasty. Supposing we talk this over
this evening, and Miss Jenkins”—
she nooded in the saleswoman’s
direction—“can drop in tomorrow
and get your final decision.” Turn
ing quickly to Miss Jenkins, she
added, “I’m sure that’s perfectly
all right with you!”
A shadow darkened the - sales
woman’s eyes. She glanced at J. P.
and then back to Mrs. Holloway.
“W-well, I—’’ and stopped.
Mrs. Holloway smiled gently. “I
knew you’d understand.” she said,
and then quickly rose to open the
door for the somewhat bewildered
saleswoman.
J. P. chewed at his freshly lit
cigar furiously. "But Martha,” he
burst out, “you—you don’t seem to
understand. I want to buy that car
—now—not tomorrow or next week
or next Christmas—”
“Have you made the check out,
James?” she asked calmly.
“And just what has that got to do
with you running this—this woman
out of here. I certainly intend to
make it out. And furthermore—”
“Yes,” she countered, “you’re go
ing to make it out, James. But not
to her! Instead, to your son.”
J. P. choked for a moment. “I—
I told you,” he flared, “I was not
going to send him one cent, and I
meant just that!” He tapped nerv
ously on the desk with his forefinger.
“Any man with the intelligence he’s
supposed to have, letting some silly
woman come along and make a
complete fool of him . . . Well,’’—
he groaned—“it’s sometimes diffi
cult for me to believe he’s my son.”
Mrs. Holloway smiled. “But
James, you’ve just proved beyond
any doubt that he is your son.”
J. P. gave her a blank look. “Just
what do you mean by that?”
She paused. “It took me four
days to -inquire around and locate
the right woman. It wasn’t easy.
In fact, I wasn’t sure until yester
day.”
J. P. grunted, a deep frown puck
ering his forehead. “I certainly
don’t follow you. First, you stop
me from buying a new car; now
you’re talking in riddles.” He
brushed the ashes from his vest un
consciously, then added, "Would
you mind explaining just what this
is all about?”
She nodded. “No. , I wouldn’t
mind. In fact, I’ve looked’ forward
to ( it.”
"All right, all. right. I’m wait
ing,” he urged.
"Just' this: Your son fell for a
charming woman with a smooth
sales talk; so did you. Those sheets
of paper in her briefcase aren’t
worth the paper they’re written on.
She’s a phoney; so was Jimmy’s
friend: When I was introduced to
her, she apparently didn’t recog
nize my name, but I knew hers.
She’s the woman who swindled your
son.”

God's View of People
Lesson for October 10, 1948
((■yOU can learn more about hu-
I man nature from reading the
Bible than from living in New York,”
said a Yale professor who had tried
it both ways. He
was right; for in
New York you are
likely to see your
neighbors only on
the outside, while
in the Bible you
are introduced to
people on the in
side.
One great value
of the Bible is its Dr> Foreman
plain stories about
people, all sorts of people—simple,
great, wise, foolish, saints and sin
ners. They lived thousands of miles
from here, and thousands of years
ago. They dressed differently and
many of them spoke in languages
now dead. Yet somehow they live
in these inspired stories.
Saints
O NE of the great biographies of
the Bible is that of Abraham.
If you will read it in Genesis you
will see it is not like one of our mod
ern biographies; it does not follow
a continuous line, but consists of
short incidents strung together
sometimes without connection.
It is more like an album of
pictures than like a movie. Yet
putting all the pictures together
we get an impression of a re
markable man.
Indeed, Abraham was one of the
most remarkable mea who ever
lived. Without a church, without a
Bible, without prophet or priest or
tradition, bom in a nation and a
family that “worshiped other gods,”
as Joshua said later, somehow Abra
ham came to know that there is but
one God. and not only to know that
as a fact but to know that God as a
friend. (In fact, Abraham’s name
among the Arabs to this day is “The
Friend.”) We must call Abraham
one of the great religious geniuses
of all human history.
Yet he does not stand alone. The
Bible is a book of saints; the letter
to the Hebrews calls the roll of
some, and ends by saying time is
too short to name them all.
Now a saint is not a person
who lives totally without sin. A
saint is one in whose life good
ness is stronger than evil; a
saint Is one who actually lives
as a friend of God, for whom
God Is the central fact in all
his life.
Sinners
T HESE are no whitewashed plas
ter saints, the great and small
figures of the Bible stories. They
come before us just as they were.
Abraham, for example, at times
was a coward, a liar, a bigamist, a
slave-holder.
We must not suppose that ev
erything any character in tho
Bible did was right, or Is right
today. The writers simply tell
the stories, seldom using ad
jectives like “bad” or “good”
or “noble” or “mean.” We are
left to make our own jodgments.
We are shown what effects sin has
on men, we see how evil spreads by
suggestion and imitation, we see
how temptation works. God inspired
the biographers; but he does not
inspire men to tell lies or to cover
up evil by calling it good. So do
not be shocked to find that even a
saint like Abraham had feet of clay.
The important things about him are
the good, not the bad.
* • •
The Light That Shines
C'URTHERMORE, when you read
" these Bible biographies, you can
trace a very interesting story
through them all: namely the story
of the human understanding of
Right and Wrong.
But in Old Testament times,
as in the case of Abraham, we
must remember they were in the
dawn-years before the sunlight
of Christ had risen. Some of the
things Abraham did would get
him into jail nowadays; bnt
some of those very acts were
then the mark of a gentleman.
Sometimes when- you are discour
aged and think the world is growing
worse, all you need to do is to
think back to some of these old
Bible stories. What the very best
peoplfe did then, is now by Chris
tians seen to be not always good.
The human race has progressed,
and nowhere more than in its knowl
edge of what is right to do. And
even so, a man like Abraham, as
good and great as he was, shines
with an even brighter light across
the centuries, challenging us to rise
above our times as he often rose
above his own.

Crop Roots Require
Oxygen and Water
Organic Matter Decay
Helps Soil to ‘Breathe 1
Soils must "breathe” deeply il
crop roots are to support high
yields above the ground. These
roots need oxygen to grow and
reach out for water plant nutrients.
To breathe deeply, soils must
have regular additions of organic
matter. Without organic matter
soils tighten up. Soil particles are
jammed together. The soil becomes
a compacted mass. There is little
room for either air or water. Roots
find it hard to forage in the tight
soiL
When organic matter is added, it
opens the soil for air and water
to soak in deeply. As it rots the
organic matter builds soil struc
ture. The humus formed from or
ganic matter swells and shrinks
with wetting and drying. Com
pounds that form when organic
matter decays help to stick these
mineral particles together in small
groups so that the soil is loose and
workable.
Organic matter should be added
deep in the soil as well as in the
plow layer. Middle West Soil Im
provement committee points out
that the best way to drive organic
matter down deep is through use
of tap-rooted legumes, such as al
falfa or sweet cloiter. regularly in
the rotation. The ropts of these
legumes drill down 18 to 25 inches
below the plow layer.
Heavy stands of legumes also
can be secured by liming according
to soil tests, and by making sure
soils are well stocked with phos
phate and potash for full produc
tion. When a good top growth is
plowed under to go with the roots,
these legumes will build the struc
ture tilth soil needs for high yields.
One-Wheel Power Unit
The power unit, designed by Carl
ton M. Edwards, Cornell university,
for Lincoln Arc Welding foundation,
can be used to drive numerous front
mounted garden tools, farm tools,
lawn mowers or snow blades. A
cultivate? tool bar can be attached
across the rear of the frame. Cast
er wheels on each end of the tool
bar will adjust depth and give three
points on the ground for balance.
All welding on this unit can be
done with a 3/16-inch diameter elec
trode, using approximately 180 am
peres welding current.
