I,XJ. 1lJ trict Cause an Upturn in Trade. . - Nebraska's general crop condition on September 1 was the Ltst of any state i uthe district, according to the monthly review of business condi tions in the tenth Federal reserve district, by the Kansas City Federal Reservejsank. The composite condition of all crops in the seven states comprising : ing down from heaven the fire which the district rose from an August 1 j consumed the sacrifice, and above condition of 9S.1 per cent, the ten j all demonstrated that Jehovah wag year average, to a September 1 con- i the one real and true God. When dition of 103.6 per cent. The per-!

' i; 1 beine the very worst woman in all The remarkable improvement in a --0i-e -- the outstanding feature of August in the district, the report declares, This has resulted in increased activ- .industries and an up- turn m trade Tarm Prices ig-.er. Marketings of grain and other farm products in August were the heaviest for that monm lor severa years, the review says. Receipts of live stock at pirmr.ry markets were the largest of the year and prices paid producers cf farm products gen erally wore higher than a year ago. "Other crops made moderate tc heavy grains during August and it was apparent from the September reports that nine of fourteen lead ing crops would show larger yields than last year and five would show smaller yields.' 'the review says. "The heaviest declines-was in cotton, abot 4". per cent from tbe distriet't record crop of 19 26. due. to decreased acreage, unfavorable weather condi tions and damage by the weevil. The output of flour mills increas ed under improved domestic and for eign demand. The slaughter of meat animals was the largest for any month of te yhear. and larger than in August last year for all classes cx-c-pt sheep. Coal Production Larger. "The production cf"sr.fe eoal at the mires in this district was larger thar In any preceding month" since March an.l for the first time since Marel the output war. largor than for the corresponding month last 3-ei:r. The production of zinc and lead ore in the Missuri-Kansas-Oklahc ma cTi:-tri'-t continued the Increase whicr becran in July: and August shipment: were the heaviest since March but net quite up to the record of a year enrJiT. "Some curtailment of the outpu: of crude petroleum was reported for all the producing states in this dis trict, and the daily, average flow fell below that of July, though it war er.rly double that of Au.rust Ir.sr ycr.r. "EJi? iltT i T contracts awarded ii thir. district in .August crlled for v larger expenditure th.m th pwartl. in July, but a smaller expordiiur thr.n for th? correspond:-? month last year. Considerable activity in building wns indicr.td by the re ports from landing cities. The num ber of building permits issued i" August was greater than cither the nreceding month or the correspond ing month last year, but tbe value of permits was less than in either the preceding month or a yenr ago. Trade Ircreasire. "The better prospect for r.gricul ture brought increased trade activ ity in nearly all sections. There were evidences that retailers were prepar ing for a heavy fall business. Com bined sales of wholesalers in six lines were larger than in July of this year or August last year. Depnrtmen stores and all single line stores hand ling men's and women's clothins' shoes and furniture, reported their dollar sales were" lrrger than in the preceding month this year, and al.-,c exceded those of August. 10 P. "No important change in the fi nancial situation developed betv.eer hte middle of August and the middle of September. Money in ba.r.k at al' timer, was plentiful and rates con- tinued low. The heavier volume cf business called for a small increase in loans, though loans "were slightly below those of a year ago. "Demand deposits were a little lees thca a year ago, although time de posits and savings deposits in report ing banks were greater," TRAIN-JASTER AT WYKOEE TT?aHTCTT"t?T?r- Tf) nTTTTArWA TRAISSFEKKEJ TO OTTLMWA Wymore, Oct. 2.

God Speaks to Elijah What a wonderful race, when Elijah ran before the chariot of Ahab, from Mount Carmel to Jesreel, aa distance of some twenty miles, and a great and wonderful physical feat, ' as when Rienza carried his master, ,, Sheridan into the great battle of Winchester, when tweVity miles I away.

Elijah had just been the instru ment of the Great Jehovah in per forming the wonderful feat of bring- . history, not barring Bloody Mary or Cleopatra. When she had heard that r four hundred; anv?Hf"y fV had been s ain by Llijah . she sent ' l l"t , . t nV t E-fowlnY WUh all jfc. cfmr-ge and all h5s faith in the : true God Eii jah became frightened B1Hi panicky, thinking there was none lejt jj- worshipped the true God but i himself, and not wishing to fall into; -;-.h a.-nman ticked woman, the hands of this w 4- r --- -- --y-r,r r r Mrt A --" " "" fid and eroincr south and west, he : snu,u "l " -""- SiS.hSa'i fjadahVndLrlshthe Idol.tor, .DJ what Se J VrVont' iT,t found rest' ed ms s ru at las found rest, .1 r . f f r .w lill-itlT die TT. 1 CXI: unuer a ju.u..y ...mistered to Ey an Angel A? he thu rested and slept he was i much discouraced, and said unto the; Lord take away mv life, for I am 1 not better than mv fathers, for they . also had been killed. As he slept, , he was awakened by an Angel of ; the Lord, who said take eat and dr;nk. for you have a long journey ; before you. ! Elljah ate and drank and slept ! again, ar c! after a while he was j awakened ascain, but the Angel with another portion to eat and drink, I which he did and on that he went fn-tr rt.-v nnd fortv nichts. and came to the cave in Mount Sinai, probably in the same neighborhood where Mcsos received the tables cf stone, and when he had come to the place. ! the Lord said unto him. "What doest thou here Elijah?" for there had been no command for him to leave Srznaria, and fly for his very life as he had thought and to distrust that the Great Jehovah would care for him. Then did Elijah put un a poor story, saying, "I have been very je.al ru? "cf Je"hovh, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy al tars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I.only am left; and they seek my life to take it away." Elijah Eebued Elijah was a greatly discouraged prophet. He did rot remember how Jehovah had fed him at the brook. Che-rith. and hsd the food brought to hirn by ravens, and how when the crock went dry, he had been sent to Serepta. who with the oil and the mc-p had nourished him until the time came for the testing of the pow er of God against the dead-Idols which the priests of Eaal had wor shipped, and how the Father had brought down the fire from heaven, and testified that he was Jehovah, and thgt Elijah was his servant. He had forgotten this fact when he flew from the presence of Jesabel, when there wa". thf place he had work to do. Jehovah asked "What doest thou here Elij"h." Surely Elijah did not find anything to do in a wilderness v.hen there was no one there. If he was a working servant of the Lord, he must be when there was work to do. God told Elijah to stand with out the entrance of the cave, and as he obeyed he wrapped his mantle around him and a hurricane with a great wind rent the rocks and broke the trees down, and demonstrated the great power, but God was not in the hurricane, then came the fire, which ate its way into vegetation and devoured the trees, but God was not in the fire. Then came the still, small voice, which spake to Elijah, and again the question was asked, "Elijah what doest thou here?" Again Elijah put up the alibi that the people had all forsaken the Lord and had violat ed his covenants, and had thrown down his altars and that he only was ! left and they sought his life to take it. j Elijah had failed in what he should i have done for the cause of Jehovah, -nrl the T .orr? rarp him tn understand : t"at his p ace would be filled by an- other, still He had work for him to d d tfa d aid return to the wilderness of Samaria, tor tnere I have work for you to do. Evidently He had not found anything to do in . the wilderness of Sinai, and it was ! time for Elijah to go where there was work for him. for of what ac count is anyone unless he does some ' thing. God said when you shall re turn to Samaria, annoint Hazael to be king or Seria. j Elisha, the New Prophet Subsequent history tells of Hazael succeeding Beb-Hadad, and being an instrument as king of Seria in des troying in a great measure the wor ship of Baal in that land.

This coming the prcphetship, was not to occur j at once, for there was more work lor . Elijah to do and as we progress in ; the lessons of this quarter we shall i find what it was.

Elijah .should have known of the one hundred prophets or teachers which Obedial had secreted c wo caves, and had ministered un- to, while the famine was in progress and those who believed in the true God. While Elijah was a prophet, in- i t .1 i t . j - . a ' rvirea v? oou, hp was jiuhwu jun i the same and was very discouraged for he felt that Jesabel would do the very thing which she said, take his life. Fear is one of the very wrost enemies which we have to overcome. God showed that there were others who were faithful and it was not necessary for Elijah to flee for his life, but to go hack and do work that was there for him to do. Then, inspir ed again with confidence, Elijah re turned and was an obedient servant for pome time to the Great Jehovah until he was called home to heaven riding in a chariot of fire. W. C. T. U.
