The Parables cf Jesus.
Introduction Blath. 13.
This chapter introduces n new
type of teething, thrt by parable".
A phratrte is an allegorical method of
conveying instruction by means of
a comparison or similitude. Mathew
gives us a group o seven: The sower,
the Tares, the upstarted seed, the
Leaven, thee four were p.- ressed
in the similiture.'the last three, the
hid treasure, the pearl and the draw
net . to the disciples.
Mathew's group of seven forms a
great whole, setting forth the mys
lery of the Kingdom in its method of
establishment. Its occupations, its
outward and inward growth, the
conditions of entrance and its final
purification.
Jesus did not begin to teach regu
larly in parables until opposition to
his leaching had developed, and the
'people under he influence of th
Pharisees and Scribed had began to
harden themselves against His in
fluence, and to criticise His doctrine:
verses 10-16. Mark. 4: 11-12: Luck
8: 10.
One purpose of His parabolic teach-
ing was to conceal His doctrine from
the unfit as a punishment for their
wilful blindness and spiritual uure
oeptiveness. But the parables also served to re
veal the truth in suggestive anrl
stimulating forms to the fit. They
arrested attention and remained in
the memory, and could not fail in
Washington. D.
United States is to
from Nicaragua.
Acceptance by President M on cad a
of Nicaragua of a definite plan to
subtantially reduce marine forces in
Nicaragua by June and pave the way
for complete withdrawal after the
elections of 19 32 was announced to
day by Secretary Stimson.
The mcrines to be withdrawn by
June, plans for which will become
Immediately effective, are those on
I combat duty against the insurgent
forces and total about eight hundrpd
The 'prnaining marine force will be
stationed in Managua, the capital,
and will devote their attention sole-
j ly to training purposes and as an
aviation unit required in some sec
ttonfl due to lack of roads.
j All marines under the plan will
be out of Nicaragua following the
I lt32 election.
The withdrawal plan is linked
with a plan to immediately increase
bv five hundred the Nicaraguan Na
tional Guard which will wage a vig- may
nrniis enmnaien acainst bandit 'vrces. ning
most prominent among whose leaders
is the elusive "General" Sandino.
The augmenting of the national
guard will increase its strength to
about two thousand.
By June the marine force of fiv-1
hundred will be in contrast to one
over five thousand in Niciragua on
January 1. 102ft.
The plan was devised by Stimson
while in conference with American
Minister Hanna. Major General
Frank R. McCoy, army officer, who
supervised the 192 elections, and
Brigadier General Douglas McDougal.
former commander of the Nicaraguan
national guard and a United States
marine officer.
The secretary summoned these
hree to Washington for the con
ference. The plan covers provision to pay
for the increase by Xicp.raerua of the
guard and looks toward the even
tual suppressions of the insurgent
forces in the republic.
Stimson withheld any announce
ment of the plan until it had been
accepted by the Nicaraguan presi
dent. World-Herald.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 13. Members
of the state legislature were told
today that the only hope that Ne
braska and other middlewestern agri
cultural states have of keeping pace
with the growth and prosperity of
the nation lies in the development
of inland waterways transportation.
The members, sitting in joint ses
sion, were addressed by former Con
gressman C. A. Newton of Kansas
City, general counsel for the Missouri
Valley Waterways association, and
W. R. Dawes, Chicago, cousin of Am
bassador Charles G. Dawes, and pres
ident of the association.
Both men will speak in Omaha to
night before the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Dawes also addressed the
Lincoln Kiwanis club at a luncheon.
Cites Transportation Costs.
"You have a great agricultural
state, yet measured in cost of trans
portation, Nebraska is farther from
the world markets than any other
state," Mr. Newton told the legis
lators. "Industry can be moved to the sea
ports but the farm lands of Nebraska
cannot. The only solution is to find
a mode of transportation that is
cheaper than the railroads have been
able to provide."
Pointing to the loss of 17 seats in
congresf. by middle western states.
Mr. Newton declared this was con-
crete evidence of the failure of these
states to keep up with the growth of
the rest of the nation.
Those states which have the
vantage of cheap transportation
industry gained 25 seats.
"Industry Is Needed."
"What we need above all is
'development of industry in the midst
j of our agriculture. Population fol
lows industry and industry has been
driven to the seashore where cheap
water transportation is available."
I he said. "'With an abundance of
I wheat in Russia and other parts of
it he world having the adventage of
accessible water transportation, it be
hooves our farmers to get cheaper
rates from our agricultural districts
to cur industrial centers where a
market can be found for our prod
ucts. "Think what it would mean i:
barges loaded with wheat could be
loaded with flour or wheat at Omaha
and be moTed to Pittsburgh at a
freight charge of one-third or even
one-half the rail rate."
He charged that railroad execu
tives who oppose the development of
waterwars are "near-sighted." assert
ing the prosperity of the carriers is
only proportionate of the prosperity
of the territory they serve.
Dawes Also Talks.
All that is being asked, he said,
is that waterways be given the same
help, encouragement and protection
from the government that railroads
were given in their beginning.
In a brief talk, following Mr. New
ton. W. R. Dawes asserted that the
development of industry around the
rim of the nation is not the best for
the nation as a whole.
Uniform development of all sec
tions would be more satisfactory, he
said, and for that reason other states,
east and west of the great agricul
tural states, should be and are inter
ested in development of waterways
here. The development of waterways
is the only way this area can

NEBRASKA COUNTY
SAW NEED OF TREES
AND SUPPLIED
IT
Custer county at the edge of X' -;
braska sandhills became community
(conscious of e need of more trees
and in 1930 planted a quarter ot
million in its tree pidbtins prdkram
;that haa just" well hegur.
Trees are not native to the soil
I of this county, chiefly becAttse of
prairie fires in early d..ys that swept
the country bare of every perennial
growth. In the canyons in certain
parts of the county evergreen have
made a good growth. Th's ; e
that certain trees do well in the I LI
of that section and the example of
nearby Bessey nursery on the Na-
ttonal Forest Reserve, where lordly
pines are growing, at last resulted
in the adoption of a tree-planting
I program which swung into stride last
' spring.
j In September of lf)2P every or
ganized community In Custer coun
!ty was asked to appoint and send a
'tree representative to a general meet
ing in the county seat. Such organ-
izations as the Parent-Teachers Asso
jciation. Grange. Farmers Union,
i Farm Bureau and project clubs sent
I 62 representat ives to discuss the pos
'sibilities of a tree-planting program.
I A special committee was appointed
I to promulgate actual working plans,
j One of the first things to be done,
I the committee agreed, was to show
1 the residents of the county that
trees could be grown. A motor tour
of the county and a picnic was plan
ned. Over 4nf Custer county people
were present for the picric dinner
i.nd went on the tour which included
calls at two farms where good tu--eeai
had Been attained with tree.,
and a visit to the National For st
Reserve. 52 miles northwest of Bro
ken Bow. "The tour." commt.ts
County Agent M. L. Gould, "served
the purpose of giving the people con
fidence in the reserve, showing tli-m
that trees would grow in the sand
hills and (hat they could be Bhtainsd
r.t that place for the small price of
one cent each."
Dur'ng a winter course on "Home
Beautitication." in which 700 fam
ilies were enrolled, an inten
study was made of the varieties of
trees best adapted to that section,
a Vc. i liability of those trees, and the
proper planting for windbreaks and
beautificat ioti. Before the planting
season started arrangements were
made to have th' trees shipped direc'
from the nursery instead of shipping
them through the forestry agency
at Lincoln, as is the usual custom.
This mad" it possible to get trees in
much better planting condition.
A total of 103.153 were put out
through the office of the county
agent. A check of the trees planted
throughout the county showed about
a quarter of a million. The campaign
will be continued in 1J31 using th'
experience and data which have bten
accumulated in 1930's program.
The Custer Bounty Tree Planting
Program on 1930, as it is called, ha.;
created wide interest. It is consider
ed the most outstanding program of
its kind in the nation.
