Neitzel Listening to a sermon recently on the text "That I might know Him and the power of His resurrection" (Phil. 3:10) evoked thought in me that might get others to thinking "on these things." Here is St. Paul, writing above text, like as if he had just been introduced to a stranger of whom he would like to know more, get better acquainted with; what he already knows about him increased his desire to know more about him. For over 30 years he had known the Lord, Jesus Christ; had seen him face to face and several times saw him in "visions." But, i3 he satisfied does he know all about him? No! No!! Only then "will I be satisfied when I awake in his likeness." (Ps. 17: 15j. January 3, 1S77, in the still, quiet midnight hour, kneeling by the side cf my bed, crying to God to pardon my sins and give me the assurance that my sins were blotted -out, the Savior of mankind spoke peace to my soul and brought unspeakable joy to ir.y heart. We have walked together through these 58 years In sweet fel lowship, having constant communion, a very intimate companionship; I have walked with the King, Halle lujah! But do I know Him? Yes, by the prints of the nails in his hands. Fifty-eight years of living with one person gives us a fair knowledge, and yet we may not know ALL about them. Think then of Jesus Christ, whom Paul did not know as he would like to have known him. Jesus has revealed himself to me in a thousand different ways innumerable are the ways in which he has shown his help fulness, his compassion, his mercy, his guiding hand, his power, his love, and he grows "sweeter as the years go by." Constantly the soul cries: "More about Jesus would I know." And I will give here my testimony that I have grown in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And yet "we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now we know in part, but then shall we know as we are known." BEAD ANIMALS Dead animals removed free of charge.

Read them I TEXAS STARTS PROGRAM OF ROAD BEAUTIFICATION Beautification of the roadsides along thousands of miles of the high ways of Texas is being undertaken now with long time plans which will eventually add materially to the pleasure of motorists using the roads of the state for business or pleasure. The landscape division of the state highway department has now been in existance for about a year. The first step of this division has been to preserve the present growth of trees along state highways by pruning all young tree shoots so as to eliminate weaker or spindling growth in order to give the others a chance to grow. Jac L. Gubbels, the department's landscape architect, states that, "We are working on the theory that the young shoots of native growth will grow into trees more quickly than anything else we might plant there, and also at a considerably less cost per tree. We are also planting na tive trees where none now exist; these are taken from the creek bot toms and elsewhere." Natural treatment of the highways is being stressed and straight rows of trees are being avoided. Instead, small groves or clumps are being set out with occasional individual trees in between to link them together. In speaking of the department's plans tor beautifying the roads, Mr. Gub bels remarks: "If there is a parti cularly beautiful view to the side of the highway, such as a lake, moun tains or a hillside, or a scenic valley, an opening is left between the trees, so the traveler can look through a3 through a window, at the view be yond." The highway department is work ing out a plan to acquire groups of trees along the rights-of-way so that they may come under the protection cf the department and in this way as many of the trees as possible will be preserved for their scenic value. Plans are also being worked out for building, at small cost, retaining walls on fills at creek bottoms, to form small ponds so that trees can be grown in the arid country. A sarvey is being made in the arid re gions of Texas to locate shallow wa ter near the rights-of-way where the department can excavate and grow trees successfully. For providing utilitarian benefit to the motorist, many small retreats or parks are being established along the main highways at intervals of from four to five miles. Tables and seats aie being placed in these spots so that the traveler may turn off the roadside for lunch or rest in the shade of the trees. Property owners along the highways are being asked by the department to donate such rent ppots for the use of the public. Where particularly desirable clumps of trees make an ideal spot for a small wayside park, the department may acquire them by purchase if they cannot be obtained by donation. In size these wayside partks will not be larger than three acres and tracts of anacre or two are preferable. It is hoped that 150 wayside parks will be opened along the highways of Texas this year for the benefit of the traveling public. The equipping and care of these tin' parks will Mi a worthwhile contribution of the state toward the welfare and comfort of thousands of motorists using the highways of the state throughout the year. Several hundred pounds of wild flower seeds have been planted along the rights-of-way and near the high ways where the Cowers can be view ed from the roads. During the past summer this work was continued with the gathering of wild flower seeds and their redistribution along the roadsides. The distribution of wild flower seeds along highways should result in the improvement of entrances to the homes, farms and ranches. Planting of trees and shrubs be hind roadway signs causes the motor ist to take notice of the signs and by reading them exercise more caution in driving. "After all,' ' said Mr. Gubbels, "the primary purpose of highway beautification is not one of beautification so much as for greater safety for the traveler. By planting for safety, the roads are incidentally beautified." A clearance of at least 450 feet at road intersections is being left un planted so that cars comins from op posite directions may easily be visible for some distance. The insides of curves are left unplanted so as to give greater visibility of approaching cars and so makes for greater safety of car operation. Outside curves are being planted with trees as this gives a clear picture of road alignment and this will prove particularly helpful in night driving. The roads along hill tops are planted with straight lines so that the motorist may know ""by the tops of trees if the road goes straight on or turns suddenly to the right or left. The feeling of confi dence that is given to the motorist oney Is Made IN THE MINT FIRST We Make it Last When ycu open an account with this strong Co-Operative Credit Asso ciation the size is net important.

'r Iff rf"! tel Plan of Rail roads is to go to Congress Director Eastman Would Have Rail roads Unified Under One Con trol for Nation. Congressional leaders at Washing ton Wednesday pushed aside tem porarily, pending an expected presi dential approval, a huge sheaf of recommendations by Joseph B. East man for federal control of transpor tation under a reorganized interstate commerce commission. The president plans to send a message on aviation to the senate today. Other communications on highway and waterway transporta tion and railroads will follow later. Some officials said Mr. Roosevelt's ideas on transportation were expect ed to follow the railroad coordin ator's proposal in the main, but whether all details would receive a presidential benediction remained undisclosed. In any event the report, proposing one of the most drastic shifts in transportation control in the nation's history, caused little cr no stir in congress. In a two-volume -report bristling with criticisms and blunt statements of fact, Eastman said government operation of the railroads probably would be "inevitable" if congress frowned on the plan or transporta tion executives balked at co-operating. Six Major Proposals. The laws proposed would do these things: 1. Put bus, truck, boat, pipeline and possibly airplane companies, as well as the railroads, under strict interstate commerce commission reg ulation. 2. Reorganize the interstate com merce commission, allowing it to re tain its police duties, but adding to them the functions of planning and co-ordination. 3. Put a single commissioner, known as the federal co-ordinator of transportation, in charge of the com mission's work. 4. Provide pensions for aged rail way workers and pay those who are discharged because of reorganizations and consolidations. 5. Improve the statutory proced ure governing the bankruptcy and re organization cf railroads, which now i3 so complicated as to be almost un workable. 6. Amend the interstate commerce act to make it more efficient in numerous minor ways, and possibly provide legislation for correction of the subsidy situation. Gives Three Plans. Eastman wrote congress that he had three general plans in mind, any of which would accomplish the de sired ends. The first, which he recommended. call3 for the government to help the carriers clean house. The second would have the gov ernment force them to take action. The third would have the govern ment take over the railroads and operate them as public utilities. Public ownership of the railroads, he said, "contains the greatest poten tialities of good and at the same time the greatest possibilities of harm." Urges Co-operation. He therefore discarded that idea, as well as plan number two, which he said did not appear "either de sirable or feasible," and concen trated his arguments on the proposal for general co-operation between the government and the carriers. If the railroads refuse to enter into the spirit of the proposal, he continued, the government probably over their properties. He said the railroads' financial will be forced eventually to take condition has not improved material ly during the first years of the new deal. He blamed their low earnings on lack of traffic, rapid development of competitive forms of transporta tion and "their lack of mutual co operation." ' Mentioning the "Chinese walls" of complex freight rates, "piratical re organizers" of bankrupt railways and "piling up of indebtedness through reconstruction finance cor poration loans." SURVEY WORLD SITUATION Washington. Nebraska wheat farmers were pictured by E. J. Bell of the wheat section of the farm ad ministration as being anxious for full information about the world wheat situation. Bell returned recently from a western trip on which he visited in Nebraska with leaders in the wheat adjustment program and several county allotment committees. "While I saw only a small cross section of Nebraska farmers," Bell said, "it was obvious that they are very in terested in the entire wheat situation and want to know all they can about it."

Failure in Debt Settlement with Russia Negotiations for Settlement of Sis teen Year Old Russian Debts Blows Up. The negotiations that have been! conducted by the American and So viet governments for a settlement of the long standing war debt of 500 million dollars, seemed to be wreck ed Thursday at Washington. The failure of the plans also made it doubtful for an extension of the I trale program between the United Setes and the Soviet Republic. . Secretary Hull, after a terse five- minute conference with Alexander: Troyanovsky, the soviet ambassador, j declared formally that, in view ot the "attitude" and the terms demand-J ed by the U. S. S. R., he could not I "encourage the hope that any agree ment is now possible." Bank's Status in Doubt. Particular regret was expressed by Hull that the negotiations had not been successful in opening up a new and big market for American goods. The question of the future of the first Export-Import bank, specifical ly organized to extend credit to Am erican firms desiring to enter the soviet field, was raised by Hull when he declared that the trustees would have to determine whether there was any reason for the bank's continued existence. Sympathizes with Exporters. In reference to trade matters, af ter saying he saw little "hope" Hull declared: "I say this regretfully, because 1 am in sympathy with the desire of American manufacturers and agri cultural producers to find a market for their goods in the soviet union. and with the American citizens whose property has teen confiscated. "There seems to be scarcely any reason to doubt that the negotiations which seemed so promising at the start must now be regarded as hav ing come to an end."
