Moore (left) of Clin ton, Wisconsin, winner of the 1948 malting barley contest conducted in seven midwest states by the Midwest Barley Improvement Association, receives his awards from Herbert H. Ladish, treas urer of the association, in cere monies held in Minneapolis. In addition to the regional award, Moore received the first Wisconsin state prize of $500, a county prize of $25, and state and county tro phies. In the final judging, Moore’s Barley competed with samples from more than 125 carloads of the grain grown by contestants in the seven- state area. The prize-winning barley was of the Kindred variety, and was grown on 50 acres of Moore’s 186 acre farm. The prize-winning barley was se lected by a committee of judges which included representatives of the U. S. department of agriculture. Each farmer taking part in the competition was required to enter a full carload of barley, or to join with not more than four other bar ley growers in making up a carload shipment. Only varieties of barley approved for malting purposes in each of the seven states was ac cepted in the competition. Samples from contest cars were used as the basis for judging the grain. Sons or daughters of cash prize winners who assisted in growing the crop and who were between the ages of 1$ and 21, received special farm youth award prizes equal to 10 per cent of the cash prizes won by the parent. Diy Crib Com Farmers with corn in the crib are beginning to have a few ques tions in their minds. Some of the com may be quite high in moisture content and warmer weather will add to the problems of handling the com. W. H. Sheldon, agricultural en gineer at Michigan state college, says that wet corn will keep indef initely while frozen. The problem is what to do with the wet com that is still in the crib when warmer weather returns. One solution is to feed it out before the weather warms up. How ever, in many cases large quanti ties may be on hand and cannot be Used rapidly. Experiments in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Him. is and Iowa, have shown that heated air can be used to dry wet com. Blow ing unheated air through the crib with a hay drier fan will not take out very much water, but it will keep the com as cool as the air and greatly retard mold growth. Fruit Jars Usable In Fumigant Spray If the garden plot is small, J. C. Ford, Auburn Polytechnic Insti tute extension service garden spe cialist says, the correct amount of fumigant per row can best be ap plied by using a fruit jar. A 10-or-20-penny nail hole should be made near one margin of the jar lid through which to pour the liquid. A somewhat smaller ail hole is necessary near the opposite aide of the lid. Answer: No. It will work in most cases, but there are some people who are actually frightened by kind treatment They believe this is be cause they are afraid you’re trying to put something over on them, but what really terrifies them is the pos sibility that you may be sincere. For a person of this type has built his life around the idea that every one is against him, and excuses his bad disposition as well as his fail ures by the fact that no one ever gave him a break. To admit that you were kind would break down his defenses. Can inhibitions be a cause of illness? Answer: Definitely, writes Dr. Sid ney Tarachow of New York in the Psychiatric Quarterly. He main tains that there is a whole "syn drome” (a pattern of symptoms) which results when inhibitions pre vent our releasing inner tension by •xpressing strong emotions such as love or anger. The "syndrome of inhibition” includes fatigue, mi graine headaches, lowered immuni ty to infection, an exaggerated im pulse to cough, sleepiness, constipa tion, itching and hives, and several other ills for which no adequate cause had been discovered. Can a child spend too much time with grown-ups? Answer: Yes, once he has ceased to be a baby. The mark of normal development from infancy to child hood is a growing preference for the society of other children and com paratively little inclination to stay with his parents except when he’s sick or sleepy. A child who spends much time even with his mother after he is old enough for school either remains too much dependent on her or is "over-stimulated” into trying to behave and think as she does. And this makes him feel "in adequate” because he cannot really keep up with an adult. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE A' J V > J me be the Eire of the moposeo CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY JAPAN .■ The famous and beautiful hymn, IEAD KINPLV LIGHT WA5 COMPOSED BY AN ENGLISH PPQTESTANT WHO LATEP BECAMff A COMAN CATHOLIC CAPDINAL • ME WAS JOHN HENRy NEWMAN. / KEEPING HEALTHY Frustration and Overweight By Dr. James np HOSE of normal weight know that when they are upset in mind, they are not hungry; and if they do eat, they are often sorry. One naturally would think, there fore, that this same rule would work out on overweights because they usually are jovial in disposi tion and so emotional disturbances would upset them even more, and so greatly reduce their appetite. As a matter of fact, nervous ness and emotional disturbances appear to have the opposite ef fect. Thus, we learn that obes ity (overweight) largely Is a compensation for frustration and is explained by the eating of more food than is required. We are familiar with the fact that many nervous Individuals who have a problem they are trying to solve, a conflict which occupies much of their time, eat poorly. When they have their problem solved or their conflict settled, they begin to eat and sleep better. W. Barton It has been found that those who already are overweight and those beginning to accumulate excess fat, when they have a problem to face or some of their hopes have been frustrated, that, instead of eating less food, they find themselves eating more in an effort to make up to their bodies for the frustration that has occurred in their minds. It must be admitted, of course, that when not enough juice is manu factured by the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland, there will be excess fat accumulated. But it can easily be seen how a frustrated woman or man may sit with a box of candies or rich food available and continue to eat and eat to make up for this frustration. And the comfort and satisfaction of eating seems to make up or satisfy the emotions caused by frustration. It just seems a nice, pleasant way to overcome disappointment by sat isfying the appetite. It is because cancer of the stom ach gives few, if any, evidences or symptoms that it is not always rec ognized in time to be treated to save the patient’s life. It is hoped that it will soon be possible to detect early cancer of the stomach by examining cells obtained from a smear of the uterus, kidney, bladder and from bronchial tubes, so that beneficial treatment may be commenced. It is only too true that where there is a lack of enough food there is always a parallel lack of the pro teins — meat, eggs, fish — and un fortunately in most cases a greater lack or shortage of proteins in pro portion to the lack of other foods. Thus, the shortage of rice and tapi oca containing but a small percent age of proteins is less than tha foods rich in proteins. North Atlantic Security T here will be no Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr. to organize and lead a Republican opposition to the ratification by the senate of our part in the North Atlantic Security Pact, as there was for President Wilson’s League of Na tions. Such opposition as may de velop will not be along party lines. Senator Vandenburg is for ratify ing the pact. As the molder of Re publican foreign policies, he will lead the party away from opposition rather than make an effort to pre vent ratification. There will be some opposition, but it will be individual rather than party. Some members of the sen ate will follow the advice of the immortal Washington, and vote against what they consider “for eign entanglements.” There will be several such senators representing both parties, but there will not be a sufficient number to prevent ratification, and they will not at tempt any radical methods to pre vent tnat ratification. It was only a brief 30 years ago when Senator Lodge, as the Republican foreign relations leader, prevented the ratifica tion of the League of Nations treaty. What might have hap pened had this country taken its place at the council table of that international organiza tion is anybody’s guess. I was in Europe when the Armis tice that ended that struggle was signed. A few days before that event—I believe it was on Novem ber 5—I was one of a party of Amer ican newspapermen in the Grand hotel in Paris. Charles Wheeler, then a member of the staff of the Paris editioh of the Chicago Trib une, joined the group. The Paris Tribune had just received a “flash” saying that when the Armistice was signed. President Wilson would head the American peace delega tion in Paris. I said to that little group that should the President do that he would be making a grave mistake that would cost him the national and world leadership he then en joyed; that if he would name a strong bi-partisan peace delega tion and would stay in Washington to direct the activities of the Amer ican delegation from there, he could dominate the peace confer ence and put through the idealis tic international organization he was insisting upon, and others in the group agreed. President Wilson did not stay in Washington; he did not send, or lead, a bi-partisan peace del egation. The Republican-con trolled senate had no part in the peace negotiations. In the end the League of Nations, as it was written into the peace treaty, was only n portion of the Wilson dream. It was re sented by the Republicans be cause they had no place, or part, in its negotiation. Politi cal rancor defeated it in so far as American participation was concerned. In the end we made a separate peace with Ger many. All that is water over the dam. What might have been can be only a guess. Personally I believe the League of Nations would have worked had it included the voice— and influence of America; that our voice and influence would have pre vented the Italian invasion of Ethi opia and would have prevented the aggression of Hitler, and the sec ond world war. President Truman has not made the errors that caused President Wilson’s failure. True, he has not had the same opportunities for er rors, but instead he has encouraged and promoted a bi-partisan con sideration of our foreign policy, both Republicans and Democrats have had a part in forming that policy. As a result, there will be no party organization to oppose the ratification of the North Atlantic Pact. Whatever opposition there may be will be that of individuals who are convinced that it is best for us to continue to follow Wash ington’s advice against "foreign entanglements.” Whether our ratification of that pact will lead to peace or to war can be only a guess. My guess would be on the side of peace. Russia will hesitate to start a conflict she could not feel sure of winning. If we do not ratify we encourage Rus sia to continue her process of gob bling up one after another of European and Asiatic nations. • • • Is the army playing fair with the reserve officers who have been on active duty during and since the war? Judging from personal obli gations, I would say these officers are not being fairly treated. I per sonally know reserve officers who wish to make a career in the army. They are kept on the reserve list, are not awarded promotions and can be dropped from active duty any day. They receive no encour agement to stay in the armed ser vice. Such treatment is not fair to the reserve officers. Ice Cream, Cake Make Acceptable Desserts For Nearly Every Meal THERE’S NOTHING FANCY about ice cream and cake, but they make a wonderful dessert for any occasion, plain or fancy. Then, too, there are few who can resist turning down a heaping bowl of creamy ice cream and a slice of leather-like cake, so you have no worry about pleasing family or guests. For youngsters who have dif ficulty getting their daily quota of milk and other dairy foods, ice cream i s the perfect answer. The same i s true, too, of adults who can not drink their pint of milk. Ice cream is a highly nutritious dairy food that furnishes energy as well as minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. It also gives sig nificant amounts of vitamins A and B2 and quality protein, all of which are needed for proper growth, strong muscles, bones and teeth. You don’t need to do anything special to make a festive dessert out of ice cream. Simply pile it in a glass bowl for easy serving A large serving bowl of ice cream surrounded with lus cious fudge cup cakes topped with swirls of chocolate frost ing and pecan halves make a gala des.iert for a festive oc casion.

Let stand for at least one-half hour. Fill bowl with small scoops of ice cream, then sprinkle with chopped nuts. Leftover beef, like lamb may be curried and served on hot, fluffy rice. f If hamburgers tend to look skimpy, place a thick slice of cheese on them before broiling. Add drained horseradish to med ium white sauce if you want to a boiled cut of the meat. Minced scallions and parsley may bring out delicious beef flavor in be added to melted butter to bring out the full flavor of chicken, steaks or chops, which have been broiled. SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:16-21; 14:27- 33. DEVOTIONAL READING: Mark 9:42- 52. Rules of Temperance Lesson for April 24, 1949 T HERE IS REALLY something funny about it. Consider a First Church congregation singing: "Jesus, I my cross have taken. All to leave and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken. Thou from hence my All shalt be.” Oh, come, come, ladies and gen tlemen! Your cross? Where is it? "All to leave”—? You are going right back to your homes for an extra-good Sunday dinner. "De stitute”—? (Some congregations, be lieve it or not, ac tually sing "naked, poor,” instead of “destitute.”) Not a one of you ever has j> r> Foreman been on relief; you probably have more money in the bank than most of the people who didn’t come to church. Some People Cannot Be Christians I T MAY BE FUNNY to compare what the congregation is singing about themselves with what they really are. But it is sad, too, be cause that hymn illustrates how foggy-minded somh Christians are about their own “cross.” They can sing blithely about it, and even complain (In song) about their own condition as something for the Salvation Army to look into, when they don’t mean a word of it. The fact is, Jesus did demand just the thing the hymn describes. He said, in so many words, "Whoso ever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my dis ciple.” • • • What Did Jesus Mean? T HERE ARE TWO ways cs mis understanding Jesus here. One wrong line is taken by those who think Jesus did not mean a word he said. The other wrong line is taken by a very few people, a very few in deed, who take Jesus absolutely lit erally. They believe that no one can be a true, 100 per cent Chris tian, usless and until he gives up all his property, all his family, and lives alone and wild, a hermit in the wilderness. The facts show that both these interpretations are false. The world has never been really made better, either by selfish, com fort-loving, worldly Christians, or by the wild and woolly hermits who are clean "out of this world." “Love Thyself Last” T HE WISEST, the most devoted Christians, have known better what Jesus meant. Jesus' own parable of the “rich fool” gives us the hint. He tells of a man who had everything he wanted . . . but when he came to die, discovered he had nothing. In that little story Jesus shows us a man who put himself be fore all other persons; who put him self before God; and who put things before character. He lived for his body, he lived for his comforts, he lived for himself. The neighbors, maybe, called him smart because he was rich; but God called him a fool, and what God calls a man, that he is. Taking the cross means living as Jesus lived, not as that fool lived. Christian’s and Liquor Don’t Mix C ONSIDER JUST ONE illustration of what Jesus means. Should a Christian drink alcoholic liquors? If you are not a Christian, you can try to answer this from non-Chris tian reasons; but that is not the question. Shall a Christian drink? Just think about this in the light of what Jesus said. The disciple of Christ will deny hiidself; does the drinker deny himself? The dis ciple of Christ will put Christ first always; but what does the drinker put first? Jesus called a man a fool who lived for his bodily pleasure, lived for himself; what would he call the man who thinks he can "take it or leave it” but who is ac tually tied to his bottles? It is true, a selfish man may perhaps (for selfish reasons, such as saving money) deny himself liquor, tobacco, or even tea and coffee, and still be no Christian. But a man who really denies him self, who loves himself last, will find that other self-denials follow as a matter of course. A man who lets his appetite dictate to him, es pecially his appetite for alcohol, is i man who is letting real self starve.
