Bible School Sunday, July 1 "Ahijah and the Divided Kingdom" i; King, 11:29-39 We continue our studies of the Old Testament where we left off last . year Solomon. We have first a char- acter stHdyo Solomon's BoiivlRha boam. Then the evils of Solomon's reign, ending with the dividing of the Kingdom, which led to the down fall of the Jewish nation. A new era began for God's chosen people. The book of the Kings was written about 5G2 B. C, probably by Ezra and Jeremiah; originally one book, divided by the seventy Greek trans lators (Septuagint). The writers are more concerned with the religious than the political aspect of the his tory, and have much more to say about the outward observances of re ligion, the temple and its ritual, the priests and their duties, than about the war3 of the kings and the mater ial prosperity of the people. The books of the Kings emphasize the ac tivities and influence of the prophets, a characteristic to be noted in our present lesson. In spite of the wis dom of Solomon, and his early piety which lid him to build the glorious temple and dedicated it with one of the ncMest cf recorded prayers, the reign of the king ended in darkness. His failure one of the saddest in history was due to two causes. In the first place, with the false idea to strengthen hiz kingdom, by marrying foreign princesses he had seven hundred wives and three hundred cntubines. In the second place, by burdening the people with the enor mous taxes that such an establish ment required. He pauperized the people something as we are now do ing. Such a rensnal. sordid life led to an early death at the age of sixty his career came to an abrupt end. "The Lord was angry with Solomon" about his conduct, and told him that He would give the Kingdom to his ser vant. Here enter Ahijah and Jero boam. God had pepared a man to lead the revolt of the people against the missrule of Solomon; his moth er's name was Qeruah a widow; he was drafted to the work of building the fortress of Milo part of the for tifications of Jerusalem; he showed such remarkable skill and ability, that Solomon promoted him to be the head of workmen; here he heard of the mutterlngs and dissatisfaction of the people; being a man of great ambition, his patriotic soul was fill ed with Indignation. About this time he left Jerusalem on a business trip, a ways out cf the city. He. met the propbet Aixijjb,- ' Tl;i3 c:etus cculd pot have Uken, pl$c is the ity cf Jerusltsv without th grtst peril to both.

Neb. influence under the leadership of Samuel, a native of Shiloh the an cient abode of the ark and the taber nacle, the center of national relig ious life. He would be especially bit ter over the heathenism Introduced by Solomon into the holy city.' Ahi jah wore at ' this meeting . a new garment," in preparation for the striking object lesson he intended to present to Jeroboam. "The two were alone in the field." Thi3 meeting must have been ar ranged by the Lord. This incident reminds us of Samuel meeting Saul in a lonely field. Ahijah rents his new garment into twelve pieces, each representing a tribe of Israel. Acted parables such as this.' were often em ployed by later prophets Jeremiah frequently used them. Agabus bound his own feet and hands with Paul's girdle. Acts 21: 10-14. Then he asked Jeroboam to take ten pieces, revealing at the same time the will of God. Why leave two tribes for the Kingdom? for David's sake this was essential for the preservation of the national religion. It entered there and was maintained there. The reasons were enumerated, see verse 33. But this should not take place while Solomon lived. So. Jeroboam was bidden to exercise patience and bide God 5s time a lesson we all should learn if our lives are to suc ceed. Jeroboam is assured of perm anent Kingdom over ten tribes. The graciousness of God is here shown, how He remembers and re wards faithful service of His people. What a happy, joyful life men could live, if they would follow the in junctions in verse 3S; and if all men would do this, there would be no need cf a League, of Nations, dis armament conferences, no army would be needed it would be al most heaven itself. Such a scene did Isaiah describe, Isa. 11 (please read). But of Jeroloam it is later said, as he forsook the waj-3 of God and (hanged the law cf the temple serv ice. "This thing became a sin." I King 12:30. In some way Solomon learned of the impending danger to hi3 Kin'jdcm trough Ueroboam, sought to kill him; this caused him to flee to Egypt. Through unwise rounsel the Kingdom was divided af ter Solomon's death. Reoboam premised the people that he would be more despotic than his. father had been the result was a rebellion and ten tribes seceded Jeroboam was at hend to gather the ten tribes to him :ejf, established the Kingdom of Israel, with the capital at Samaria, and Rehobcam became king over two trjtts as3 te Kiszdcrs cf Ju$ah, - jtjj its capital at Jrual. $o the Kiifdam t divide aeeerdis t the word ef G?j. What a tragedy! SHALL WE CUT FARM PLANTS? The latest suggestion from Wash lngton is that attempts to reduce production and increase prices of agricultural commodities should be continued with a 3-year plan. - The program would involve the removal of i5 to 20 million acres from pro duction and putting them into pas ture, forage crops and woodland. Benefit payments and processing taxes would be continued. . It .might be worth while to permit the present programs to demonstrate v their efficiency before asking farm ers to sign up for three years. Wheat has advanced 20 per cent in price in the last twelve months, corn 35 per cent,! cotton 33 per cent, hogs 2 per cent. These are the four major crops under control of those administering the agricultural adjustment act. The advance in cotton is approximately equal to the depreciation in tbe dol lar. The advances for. wheat and corn include response from the drought as well as from government aid. Some of the commodities which have not come under the act are horses and mules, which have in creased 40 per cent in value, beef cattle 45 per cent, lambs 25 per cent, alfalfa hay 55 per cent, prairie hay 80 per cent, butterfat 17 per cent, and eggs 39 per cent, without tre mendous amount of work on the part of farmers themselves, serving on county and state committees, measur ing their production or signing con tracts and without collection of pro cessing taxes. Wheat md cotton growers have received benefit payments in addi tion to the sale of their commodities. If these were added to the advances enumerated they would still be be low the average of those commodities not under government control. The purchasing power of the farm dollar as measured by that which prevailed in the 1909-1914 period now stands at 01 cents, just as It did a year ago. The only improve ment in the farmer's status is that which he has obtained from reduc tion in production costs or Increase in his own efficiency. The credit sit uation has been relieved: taxes, in terest and- labor are' lower. There; has been a decided tendency to be come more nearly- self-sufficient by growing gardens, preserving food and Increasing the amount of dairy arid poultry products as well as meat grown at home. Accepting the 3-year program, even though, itwere modi firth to elim inate sonii .of, tile njrjor ob jectiots to the present plans with separate commodities, would be tantamount to an admission that government em ployees were better able to determine the best practices in agriculture than farmers themselves. The suggestions coming from Washington still fail to include a reward for efficiency in farming as a business and to discriminate be tween the man who is farming as a means of gaining a livelihood and the one who is operating extensively and contii buting to excess produc tion. They presuppose collection of processing taxes merit of encouraging the production of grass and for age and forests which contribute toward the better maintenance of fertility and the elimination of erosion of the soil. The broad question still 'remains, whether it is wise to plan for such an extensive curtailment of the farm plant over a 3-year period, with its extensive deflationary effects on em ployment, transportation, and busi ness, before we have explored the possibilities or restoring at least part of our foreign markets through re ciprocal tariff arrangements.

Next November 1 an issue of $162,000,000 of 5 per cent bonds is callable. If this is refunded at 4 per cent it ill mean an interest saving of more than a million and a half added to the saying of nearly a million effected by the recent re funding operation. This will mean a considerable sav ing to borroers from the banks when the present period of emergency as sistance ends and the banks must again function in a normal manner without the prop of federal appro priations, rdinarily the interest which the land bank borrower pays on his mortgage is the interest which the bank must pay on its bonds plus the expense of maintaining the in stitution. During a temporary period the farmer borrower has been for given la part of this interest, the bank being reimbursed for its loss by direct appropriations from the federal treasury. With the ending of the emergency this prop will be re moved and borrowers will again have to pay normal interest rates, based on what people who have saved mon ey ask for its use. Then they will begin to note the benefits derived from refunding the higher rate bonds. World-Herald. :o: BRAIN TRUST PRETTY GOOD IDEA AFTER ALL "While we have Heard a certain amount of ribald laughter about the use of brains in government, it seems to be a good practice. It will be con tinued. We are going to call on trained people." President Roose velt. The president frankly admits, in his address at. Yale, that the brain trust is here to stay. And after he gets through explaining his purpose it doesn't sound like such a bad idea. "Ability rather than politics en ters into most choices made in our government,", the president explain ed. "I can't tell today the party affi liation of most of the responsible people in our government. . . ." The president has made a sincere effort to put, the selection of govern ment personnel on a business-like basis. In many instances the politics of appointees was not considered. Ability was the basis of selection. He hunted fori grained men, for. experts, for men, of brains and put them in important posts. He gathered about him a group of mentally superior persons who act as his advisers. He assumes responsibility for them. When he takes their advice he is the man who should bear the blame. They are but counsellors. He is the administration. The cabinet was designed as a sort of brain trust. The purpose of the cabinet was to find places in the var ious fields of government activity for outstanding men who could advise the president ,on, matters of state. The cabinet, however, has been turned into a political plum tree and posts too often are used as rewards for politicians. No one will accuse Sec retary Swanson of being a brain truster. Very few cf the brainy ad visers of the president are in the cabinet. Mr. Roosevelt rewarded his supporters by placing them in cabi net posts and then gathered about him an advisory body, known as a brain trust, which helps him make up his mind on important questions. One or two of the cabinet members qualify as advisers. The other brain trusters are in places of importance in the government setup. After all, the brain trust is noth ing to get excited about. The excite ment ever one ort wo members was amusing and stimulating but not overly important. Conditions would be no different if all these brain trusters held cabinet posts and pro ceeded to advise the president from those vantage points. It is unfortun ate that the cabinet is made up of figure heads and the real advisers are relegated to other positions, but the effect is the same. Now that the president says the brain trust is here to stay, it can be forgotten, for the president is the responsible man and the only one that can be held by the j voters to an accounting for what is done.

AMERICANS TRAVEL IN HEHDS? American tourists in Europe are heartily damned by the nationals who cater to them, by the tourists of other countries and, perhaps most scorn fully of all, by themselves. Not al ways, but all too often, we are. In foreign lands, conspicuous, even In Email numbers or as single speci-' mens, for our gullibility, timidity, in sistence on being with other Amer icans, folly in money spending, pro vincially of taste and experience, our equally provincial conceit, and our screaming, nasal voices. The word which is universally used by Euro peans (English as well as contenent als) to characterize Americans aboard is "vulger." That which makes us seem vulger to the European is emphasized by our weak-kneeded propensity for traveling in herds, stepherded by one of our kind. Where cue or two Am ericans might be overlooked, a mob of 10 or 20 rushing noisly into a cafe and turning it into something like an upstate church "social," or intruding happily, at the wrong moment, in a "show place" which happens to be the other fellow's place of worship such a body ot enthusiasm is ove ricked with diffi culty. There are signs posted, in English, to prevent this latter contingency, but who has eyes for signs, even in the mother language, when there is a "cute" saint to be seen, or with luck, a cardinal to be "snapped" through the choir screen! There are Americans in numbers, of course, who are as much at home in Europe as in America. There are thousands of college boys who, enter ing Europe for the first time, have mounted bicycles and invaded the old world so unaffectedly, so eagerly and on so meager a budget that they have passed wholly unnoticed or were ac cepted as Europeans. English? Ger man? Swedish? Dutch? folk will guess. I havo r.cwn them to "give up" then and demand the answer without once venturing to ask "Am erican?" Harold Sprague in Har vard Alumni Bulletin. :o. AFFORDS A NEW DEAL IN CONSUMER CREDIT Enactment by congress of th Sheppard bill, providing for the es tablishment of a system of federa credit unions, affords a new deal in consumer credit. Oiie out of every five urban ; families i:i the United State3 must borrow from a small loan agency oom time during the year. A third cf the loans ere made by pawnbrokers, a quarter by per sonal finance companies, a fifth by industrial banks, a tenth by eommer cial banks, another tenth by loan sharks and relatively insignificent amounts by credit unions, by remedia loan societies and by employers. Loan sharks collect interest at the rate of 240 to 4S0 per cent; pawnbrokers charges run from 12 to 120 per cent; finance companies get 30 to 42 per cent: industrial banks between 17 and 35; remedial loan societies from 12 to 36: commercial banks, which are closed to most small borrowers from 9 to 23. The rates charged by the credit unions are, by comparison extremely low. ranging from 6 to IS per cent a year. The credit union v. as first created in Massachusetts in 190 9, but en joyed its greatest growth between 1925 and 1929. There are now some two thousand unions in the 32 states whose laws permit their organization The unions are co-operative societies. Members elect the officers, who con duct the business of the society un der the supervision of the state auth orities. Earnings r.ra returned to members as dividends cn their sav ings. Administrative expenses are as low as 1.79 per cent cf total loans granted. Losses are practically un known. The Sheppard act permits employes In a single establishment or persons living in the same neighborhood to establish such societies under federal law, to lend up to 550 without se curity and up to two hundred dol lars with secrity, r.t a maximum in terest rate cf 1 per cent a month. The federal credit unions are to be supervised by the governor of the farm credit administration. Not only will they be valuable in themselves, but indirectly they should provide salutary competition for the other small-loan agencies which are now charging unconscionable rates. The new deal has indeed done something for the little fellow. St. Louis Post Dispatch. ;o: Washington observers assert that John N. Garner has increased con siderably in political stature since he quit making speeches and disap peared into the vice-presidency.

MUST MIDSUMMER NIGHT NOISES Those people in the downtown area who can't sleep with their windows down because of the heat, or with the windows up because of noise, may be Just a shade more un fortunate than thousands of others in the rest of town. But the prob lem of undisturbed sleep on a sum mer night, with .windows open by necessity, is not confined to any one locality.' What with the barking of a neigh bor's dog, loud talk or the switching on of lights in the house next door, repeated shouts of "good night" and the slamming of car doors as the party breaks up at 1 a. m. at the place across the street, the running or a radio full blast at a late hour, and a miscellaneous aggregation cf other disturbances, sleep becomes anything but possible or peaceful on a hot night. Most people having survived other such seasons, it is not probable that the number of fatalities will be any higher than usual this summer. Yet a reasonable amount of thoughtful ness and consideration of the rights of others would help immensely. Kansas City Star. :o: FACING THE HARD FACTS ON OUR FOREIGN DEBTS Europe owes the United otates $22,645,000,000. Of that staggering sum, slightly less than half represents the war debts. The rest covers "normal trade transactions." Revelation of this amazing situa tion is made by George N. Peck, the administration's special adviser on foreign trade. And his statement is the first rational and sound view of the whole international trade and debt situation which has ever come from an official source. Peek recognizes frankly that there is only one way that we can collect these debts. And that is by accept ing goods in payment. But we can't accept goods today without upsetting our domestic eco nomy. Our so-called "favorable ballance" of trade during the past 36 years has been a liability instead of an asset. That's why wc must face the fact that we cannot collect these debts new. We can't afford to. That's why we mud recognize that foreign trade for the future must be on a basis of mutual exchange: The exchange of goods which we can produce ' best for goods which we cannot produce or which are pro duced, more economically by other nations. ' " ' Can wo ever collect the debts? Can we recover this 22 billion dollar stake we have in Europe? Observe what 22 billion dollars means. Roughly, it means the pay ment of one year's work b3' 22 mil lion people. If 22 billion dollars worth of goods were suddenly dumped on our shores in payment of those debts, we could not consume those goods under our present economic system without tniowing zz million people out of. work for a year, or depriving them of that equivalent In Income. What to do? Cancel all the debts? The answer lies in another direc tion. We can collect the debts or a substantial portion of them only when this country's prosperity has been restored on a basis so complete that we can absorb luxury or other prod ucts from abroad without glutting our own markets. When all our people have buying power; when all Americans have jots then we can begin thinking about absorbing imports from our debtors. In a word, we must restore do mestic prosperity first. We can worry about foreign trade and foreign debts later. It should be observed that the in- ernational bankers who howl so voci ferously for a balanced national bud get have offered no objection to tho building up of such an overbalance cf foreign trade! Those hankers worry aoout our domestic 'debt but not about our foreign credits. All because they get a cut on the nternational financial deals. They don't get a cut on expansion of the federal budget. They are the men who preached foreign trade expansion. They are the men who urged concentration on foreign exchange ahead of domestic price stability. They are the men who deluded us Into believing that our huge credits abroad constituted a "favorable balance of trade." We've been foled once. Mr. Peek's frank recognition of the realities of this debt muddle gives hope that we are not to. be fooled again New York Post, f : o : Plattsmouth stores offer shep. bocticsger for f.vo pints cf whvv plr.a'Cdvantagfa the equal of any,it'wouid aho be w.P.yL V , fcJ fo te fcund.
