Eastman Says Labor Must Make a Sacrafice Federal Ce-ordinator Says Resultant Unemployment Biggest Hitch in Consolidations. Chicago. Federal Co-ordinator Eastman of transportation told more than 300 railroad and traffic execu tives the time was now opportune for c-fleeting the operating economies contemplated in the 1933 transpor tation act. The greatest obstacle to consoli dating duplicated operations is that of resultant unemployment, he told v. trail ic club gathering. "That the argument has a strong appeal goes v.-iihout saying," he asserted. "The employes ought to be given every consideration. But we shall be guilty of grave error if we allow sympathy far railroad employes to blind our eyes to the future." The problem is one "which reaches into the days to come," and affects future employment, he pointed out, r.nd added: "Considering only the welfare of the railroad employes and Bible, School Sunday, March 15th. "Jesus Teaches His Disciples to Pray" Luke 11:1-13. In our study of Luke's Gospel, we f.nd a gap between chapters 10 and 11 that John fills out with -the event recorded in chapter 9 of his gos;el: This was performed in Jerusalem, to which place Jesus had gone; but we find him now in Peraea, the last months of his ministry. It is s-.ippcscd that the request to Jc-s-'s came from one of the "sev enty." The disciples are observing Jes'zs praying with his accustomed fervency, laying hold of God with su'h unflinching faith, praying, as it w ore. from the very depths of his soul, and contrasting their declining power and freedom in prayer, came to a greit climax in recognizing their Fin in this regard, and they cried to their Lord asking him to teach them to pray. What they felt that day was exactly what we have all felt sometime or other; not that we want ed to know ' how" to do it, but that we wanted to be taught to "do" it. Yes. the school of Jesus is always open r.nd in session for those who want to he taught. And what a teacher! "Learn of r.ie." "Where could the disciples get better in struction? It is the "disciples" who need to be taught. Prayer is an "art." Did John the Baptist teach his disciples? We know nothing out side of this phase about "the prayer life cf John the Baptist. The dis ciple.i did not ask in vain. Now Jesus gives them a "form." a "model," so comprehensive, so all inclusive that one who prays that prayer intelligently is to have noth ing else to pray for. When you pray, say, "Father." In the Old Testa ment, God is seldom spoken of as a Father, and then, in reference to the nation of Israel, net to the individ ual. (See Deut. 32:6; Isa. 63:16; 3:4, 10; 31:9; Mai. 1:6; 2:10). Thus the Lord Jesus really gives to men, for their life of Fellowship with God. a new name. This Jesus only could reveal to man. "We could never have known God the Father save through the incarnate son. It is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ that we Lecorr.e the Sons cf God. (John 1:12, 13). Consequently, it must be firmly held that, while God may be spoken of as the Father of all men in creating them, he is only truly, and eternally, and actually the Father of all men through his son, Jesus Christ, who is able, alone, to bring us to God. Men who refuse to accept God's only Son as their Sav iour, have no right to call upon God as their Father. We truly pray to God as Father by the indwelling and illumination of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 8:14-16). "Hallowed be thy name." The name PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., aa second-class mail matter nothing else, my conviction is that the time has come to set the railroad house in order and take every practi cal step in the direction of maximum efficiency and economy in operation." While temporary sacrifices on the part of labor should not stand in the way of improvements, neither should labor assume the entire burden, East man said. The railroads could "well afford to offer a reasonable measure of protection and compensation, graded with age and length of ser vice, to those who maye be tempor arily displaced," he asserted. Improved business, already man ifest, he continued, might enable the railroads to make the suggested ter minal and service economies, esti mated to save a possible 10 million dollars annually in the Chicago area alone, and still maintain employment at present levels. Eastman's urging came only a few hours after J. A. Phillips, vice pres ident of the Association of Railway Labor Executives, accepted President Roosevelt's proposal that both sides meet with him to seek a solution of the labor problems which unification would bring. Plattsmouth offers a splendid narket for farm produce. Local dealers pay top prices. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. of God expresses the character of Gcd. To hallow his name means to treat as holy, to venerate (I Pet. 3:15; Isa. 29:23). The name of God is not God himself, neither is- it our idea of God, but it is that expressed idea cf him that he himself would have us to possess, and which may be gathered from his own revelation. If the name of God is truly hallowed, and this petition answered, our en tire life will be transfigured with an ever deepening sense of the holiness of the One to whom we pray. "Thy kingdom come." This is certainly the most comprehensive of all the petitions in the Lord's prayer. It is a summary of the whole scripture revelation from Genesis to Apocalype; it reveals the purpose, the hidden meaning and the final consumation of all history. The earth is the very center of God's kingdom. It is here that he had proposed to reveal his glory in the age3 to come. Jesus is to be king over all the earth and to sit on the throne of his father, David. This is the true and ultimate meaning of the prayer, "Thy king dom come." The bride of Jesus has well understood the Lord's meaning, when she responds, "Even so, come. Lord Jesus, come quickly." (Rev. 22:20). The prince of the world, at the present time, is none other than satan himself. (John 21:31; 14:30; 16:11; Eph. 2:2). If the kingdom of God i3 to come, it must come by the coming of the King himself. "Give us day by day our daily bread." This prayer proclaims the fact of our dependence upon God for ! tho very simplest cf boons. It is for jail men. In the last. re3ort, all men , depend upon the produce of the field. and the produce of the field i3 the gift cf God. Man cannot make food. He cannot create bread. God must give it. "I have read somewhere that, when the month of August comes around the world i3, each year, with in two months of famine." (J. D. Jones). "And forgive us our sins . ." This prayer is not given to men out side the Kingdom . . . but inside the Kingdom. "Bring us not into temp tation." Temptation i3 sometimes spoken of as coming from God, some times as coming from satan. How can the child of God know which is tempting? Here follows the impor tune friend or neighbor; he got what he needed. If man would be so per sistent with God, what a rich exper ience would be his. Ask, Seek, Knock and God will open his storehouse (Mai. 3:10) and give of his bounty. Paul could promise the Philipians "But my God shall supply all your need, according: to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ." (Phil. 4:19). "In the father's house is enough bread and to spare;" (Luke 15:17).

Over Two and One Hali Million would Pay Tax Would Pay New or Higher Levies if the Undivided Incomes Distributed. Washington. Figures showing that 2,879,000 individuals would pay new or additional taxes should cor porations faced with a proposed tax on their undivided income distri bute all earnings among stockholders were submitted by treasury author ities to a house ways and means sub committee. Speaker Byrns said he thought the forthcoming tax bill would include levies on undistributed corporate earnings, processing taxes, a "wind fall" tax to recapture returned or unpaid processing taxes and noth ing more. If a general revision of the tax structure is to be undertaken, it can be done next January, the speaker told reporters. That would postpone any action on sales or broader income taxes until after the elections. In the face of sentiment moving in the opposite direction, the speaker added that he saw no reason for any exemptions in the proposed levy on corporate earnings not divided among stockholders, because corporations still could pay the tax and build up sufficient reserves for hard times. The corporation tax i3 designed to produce $620,000,000 in government revenue to meet the cost of the new farm program and pre-payment of the bonus. Representative Fatman (d., Tex.), leader of a bloc that has been fight ing for bonus payment in new cur rency, said chances of putting the currency expansion move across de pended "on the kind of bill that comes out.; If the new taxes should be rela tively "painless," he said, the cam paign may not rick up enough re cruits to bring success. But if the bill should dip into income taxe3, Patmna said. "We would have a very good chance." AMUSED AT OMAHA PLIGHT Grand Island. Mindful that Om aha had little or no sympathy when Grand Islan'tT'shippefs attacked New Orleans-Grand Island freight rate on sugar a few -years ago. Grand Island traffic men and shippers were amused at a cartoon appearing on the front page of the World-Herald, bemoaning the fact Chicago can buy sugar from Scottsbluff cheaper than it can be purchased at Omaha, and that Omaha U liable to lose one of its important industries. Eut tho Grand Island situation is Aorse than that of Omaha, traffic manager E. P. Ryan of the chamber of commerce, comments. Sugar man ufactured in tiVirhd Island can be laid down in Chicago for 30.9 cents per 100 pounds, and in Omaha-for 47.7 cents, while sugar purchased at Grand Island costs 58.7 cents per 100 pounds plus basic price. Thus, Mr. Ryan pointed out, Omaha has 11 cents advantage over Grand Island per bag, and Chicago has an advan tage of 27. S cents over Grand Island, altho sugar is manufactured here. The reason, Mr. Ryan emphasized, is the method of selling sugar, freight rates from New Orleans to each of three points being the governing fac tor. MRS. HEWITT HAS SETBACK Jersey City. Mrs. Maryon Coop er Hewitt, charged . with mayhem in California, suffered a "bad spell" of such a nature that a hospital physi cian said "several others of a similar character would likely result fatal ly."

FARMERS A52 AIT IITQUIHY Washington. Farm spokesmen urged congress to authorize a trade commission investigation of farm ma chinery prices. Fred Brenckman, spokesman for the national grange, told a house subcommittee consider ing the proposed inquiry: "An investigation might easily re sult in lower prices to the farmer. jit not only would benefit the farm ers but the manufacturers themselves. If they had a little more heart and enabled the farmer to buy more rea sonably, there is no doubt there would be an increase in employ ment." GIRL LEAPS FROM HOTEL III CHICAGO Chicago March 10. A pretty blonde girl whom Police Captain Thomas Duffy said he believed was Miss Patricia Drew, formerly of Squirrel Hill (Pittsburgh), Pa., was slightly injured Tuesday when she leaped or fell from the window of her 10th floor hotel room.

Two trucks were here from Cort land, Nebr., Monday, seeking to pur chase shelled corn, but could find none and were forced to go else where. The expense of hauling ear corn any great distance 13 so great that all the feeders from outstate are leoking for shelled corn, instead, and are literally scouring thi3 section of the country for same.
