Diversified Farming is Paying Best Land Values Are AS ected by Meth ods Employed in Securing Ee turas From Land. Land prices, according to experts on the subject, and in the opinion of farmers in general, have recently shown a tendency to become stab ilized. This cau be accounted for by reason of the fact that prices of farm products and net farm incomes have had an upward trend since tbe low point of the depression of 1921. Fore closures and other forced liquidations have in a number of areas probably exerted most of their influence. Their depressing e fleet may be expected to decrease progressively as these forced sales are obsorbed by the demand for good farm land. Reductions in mortgage rates of interest have been announced in a number of areas. This is particularly true of the state of Iowa, where mortgage rates have been high. Farm land values are affected by the method the farmer employs in getting the most from his land. Good tillage, well-fed soils, the planting of crops to feed the farm family, and the growing of a diversity of crops especially legumes, so as to furnish practically vU the pro'ein require ments of livestock on the farm, arc the factors that reveal the capacity of the farmer. Where chance prof.t type of farm ing is practiced it has been found the drop in land valuer. h:;s been severe. The decline in wholesale price? of industrial products, along with a rise in taxes, have all played a part in narrowing the margin in farming ar.d causing depressed land valv.es. Farm profits will be increased by are pressure of a growing population upon the land supply. This facto should increase ihe rental value of farm land. Statistics indicate that the United States- will have a popu lation of ir0.000.MM people by IST.O At the present lime the population is 1 1 S.OOn.ooO.

The Selfishness of Power Were might right the world would be i ult'd by the iron hand of power, but the time in sure to come when j just retribution will come to all who transgress the law of right and jus-1 tice. The iron heel and the mailed fist have done many things in the ; name of law which make angels j blush at the inhumanity of man. Our, h ws are not always administered rightly, even when people are elect-) ed who claim to do so. J But while this happens at our pres- j ent dav. we must inciuire into the conditions which existed when our lesson cf today is set. Idle Eich Haid to Satisfy The power invested in some ruler. sn.-i?is to assure t-v m that thev have tl.eii power by divine right and they tai.- it they can use tLat power f.-r th ir own selfish ends, even if it G'es override the rights of others The j banks of the counti y are oftn the! pitfalls of those who are looking jnly j uii il. til selfish ends, and as we have! cbs e'i banks fail, and it is cult to punish the offender, be :.u-e n His intieached influence wit'i th -courts, and the law-making bodies. The time muit come when this shall j be done away with and justice and right shall triumph. In the case of Ahab, who was king of Israel, and a king not concerned with the wel- fare cf his. people. he was made the worse by having a wife, who is con sideied as occupying a place pre eminent as the most wicked woman in all history. J zebel. as was her name, was an idolitress. and of the worse Kinu. l h gnvious sin oi iuoi- i otry has existed since the coming of j the Israelites to the promised land. I They had found people there worship- j ping idols, and they followed after : them i-ud worshipped idols them-j stives. i Not all of them, for there were many all the time of people who were true to the living God. For in last Sundays lesson, Jehovah has told Elijah that there were then in Is rael seven thousand who had net bended their knees to Baal and had not kissed him. and when these men were faithful it was speaking a good word f : r their integrity and adher- : ( n ' . th: r. ship rd; to the sgl: th- one true God. Coming l;,.e of kings, the wor- always found some Ahab trek his wife, i she was a followed' of ido's hnd : a'-t:. W bii . Jvzabei, ho knew s of E?.al. and still he, while he was the- king of Isrpel, was one who should have stood for the worship of h Co l who -had brought the chil- j iren of Israel out of the land-ef Egypt, and had fed them in the wild- j err.ess for forty years, and miracu-. lordly saved them many times, and in ! t Ii i - history had Ahab been well : :: i): ioob'd. still he was a weak man t and attached to a designing woman, allowed the v.-orr.hip of idols and was r. worshiper himself. Even Solomon allowed one of his wives, a daughter , cf Fhaioab. to have a house even in ; lh- temple area, and she was a wor-; shipper of idols. The practice of wor- j j hi; ping idols had come down thru! the lir of the former kings, and it ha.l dulled the preception of right nnd wrong, and the kings more audi more assayed to have their own self- : i h ends and desires satisfied, no mat- I ter v. hose rights were to be sacri-1 ficed. j Lccse a Minute Save a Life. i liouiville has this ign at the in-tersectk-ii of their busv streets, and wbtn people are careful enough to IiM.;- af the others interest, there is little danger of doing an injustice to another. All who drive the pub lic highways should consider the other fellow as well as their own self, j This would make our highways safer and again if this was practiced in cur every day life the pathyway of lif- would not contain so many pit i'alis f-'V ir unweary. Ahab wanted a vineyard adjacent to his palace and it bf 'on red to a neighbor, one whom In- king and the kingly office was ex pec t-d to protect in his rights. King Ahab went to the neighbor. Naboth. ' and said. -e!l nie for money your vine- , yard, or if you would rather. I will ; exchange one for yours. Now the i,-'v was that one could not aleinate bi inheritance and this Ahab knew; ?s well as anyone. ! Siiill h" perisited iu having the pl:ce. and when be was refused in his selfish desire by Naboth. he went into his palace and pouted like a spoiled child. He was morose and crabby, and even the wicked queen uoticed this and said, when he would not eat. but pouted about, what in the world is the matter with you, you are grouchy and won't even eat. The designing queen con joled the kirjg and got him to tell what was the matter, and he said, why, that man Naboth will not sell me his vineyard. Then did Jezabel say unto Ahab, are not you king of Israel and cannot you rule the king dom. Come eat and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vinyard. Jezabel Designs Hurder Down thru the line of the world's history have the killing of one in the way of the selfish ends of a wicked person been the practice and so it was in this case. Jezabel premeditat ed murder, and in order to guild it with a little legality, wrote letters to the men of the land, and taking the seal of the king, for she had written in the king's name and seal ed the order, telling them to call a great gala day and have a feast, and to place Naboth on high and then to have someone accuse him of pro-ia-ining the name of God and the king, and take him out and stone bira to death. When this was done she said to Ahab, go down and pos t ti visyrd ef Kebh for b l net alive tut dd. The Fabrics Most in Demand Are 54-in.

Meanwhile hovnh has instructed Elijah to go to the vinyard and there n:c 1 1 the king and accu.-e him cf his siny and the orim of murder. Elijah Meets Ahab As Ahab appeared ii ti:e vinyard of the r.ian who vas murdered that h might have it, he came f::ce to face 'vitb the prophet, Elijah the Tishbite. and Le- was startled and j-aid. "Hast thou found me, O mine enemy." He felt guilty and knew that Elijah as the prophet of the lovixg Gou. knew cf the deed that hid been done to get the plot of ground. 7 hen came the answer in no nistahable tone. "I have found thee, b'-cause thou hast sold thyself to dj that which is evil in the sight of Jixvah." Then did Elijah tell Ahab that there would Cuine a day in which justice, as a swilt sword, would a ventre the de;th f the inno cent maR which was killed to satisfy the lust cf a selfish and disolute king. H' also said unto the king, "thus sayt-th the Lord, where the d"gs did lick th" blood of Naboth. shall dogs lick there even thin." Regarding Jezabel he also said "The dogs shall eat Jezabel by the wall of Jezreel. Iliin that dieth of Ahab iu the- city the dogs shall eat. and him that dieth in the field- shall the fowls of the air cut. Uut there was none like unto Ahab which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, who Jezabel did stir up. And he. And it ccme to pass when Ahab heard these words that he rent his clothes and put sackcloth on his fifth and farted and lay in sackcloth and went softly. And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite. faying. "Feest thou how Ahab hum blith himself before me. because he humblilh himse lf before me, I will not bring this evr; i;: His d2ys, but in Why A Whippet Automobile? Because it is the only light weight car that has a"I the following features that you find in every high priced car: High compression motor. High lift valves.
