Washington. Dec. 14. A contin

supreme court's forthcoming decision
in the gold cases and a series of
monetary and banking developments
today gripped the attention of the
capital.
It was recalled that Chief Justice
Hughes once before had held invalid

in depreciated currency rather than
gold. The decision was in 1929 and

"Peter's Lessen in Humble Service"
(John 13:1-17); (Pet. 5:5)
One of the greatest attributes of
a Christian is humility. It can only
be learned from the great Teacher,
in his school; when he says "learn
of me'' and gives his disciples an
enample, he is a practical teacher.
Pride brought about the fall of man
Humility will restore him, bring him
back into the favor of God. The".
ir.ir.sion of the Son of God was, to1
bring man back to God, to show
htm the way, to assist him in every
possible way, by precept and exam
ple, to find God, the source cf life
and joy and happiness. The occasion
presented itsrelt" at the last night, at
the last passover teast, at the last
opportunity to impart thi3 great les
sen to his disciples; what all the
teachc-ring could not accomplish
the example did.
Jesus and the twelve were assem
bled in the upstairs room of John
Mark's mother's house. Peter and
John had prepared the least to ob
tervo the Jewish passover. The
meal is served, all recline on their
couches, grace had not been said all
eyes are on the Master it is a tense
ir.umc.it. What is Jesus waiting for?
Why decs he not offer "thanks?"
Something must be wrong, has any
thing been forgotten? At this
moment Jesus arises from his couch
lays asii:? his outer robe like a
servant that takes up his usual work
girds himself with a towel, got a
basin and pours water into it. Do
the c.isciplps see by this time what
has been neglected? The custom of
washing their feet, after traveling
the dusty streets, rince they had
bathed in preparation for the least,
had been overlooked, while they had
disputed who should be the greatest.
Herein showed Je.us his love to them
in revving them instead cf being
served. And during these tense rr.cr.i-c-nts
the devil finished his work in the
heart of Judas Iscariot. he was now
w holly in satan's power he had
possession cf his heart, his v. hole be
ing, he could net Lack cut anymore.
Co tlie men gradually give in to
the devil until he has possession cf
the whole man and to break that
power only God can do. that requires
the assistance of one mightier than
the devil. "But "thank God!" there
is One that is "mighty to save," who
can set the prisoner free!
Now the last service cf Jesus be
gins five cf the dbciplas have, with
out objecting, allowed Jesus to wash
their feet. Coming to Peter he finds
an objector a very tense moment
precedes the comi.ig to Peter it
seems in every faro we read some
thing like this: "What will Peter
do when the Master comes to him?"
Peter is possibly the first cne to
speak: "Lord dost thou wash my
feet?" and drawing his feet under
him. Josus has no opportunity to
serve I'eter. But Jesus convinces
this disciple that he does not under -
stand the meaning of his act; but

humility before God. Jesus spoke of

30); and his incarnation is spoken
of as his "humilitation." (Phil 2:8).

selves of the Commodity Credit Cor
poration leans have realized a net
goin cf $S2,SS9,592, over the loan
value of their corn and the costs of
the lean, it was announced today by
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istrat ion.
This estimate was reached on the
basis of the figures supplied by the
Commodity Credit Corporation. The
1933-34 loans were made on 2G7,
540,500 bushels of corn, at the rate
of 4f ccnt3 per bushel, held under
seal in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.
To January, 1935, approximately
266.457.000 bushels had been re
leased by payment of $113, 908, 366 j
of principal
At average prevailing market
prices computed monthly on the
amount of corn released, the sealed
corn had a market value when sold
of $207,037, 0S9. From this is de
ducted $124,047,497, which includes
the principal of $119,905,300 al-
readv naid. and total cost of the
j $S2 9S9.592.
Officials cf the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration and the
Commodity Credit Corporation feel
that the corn loans, by making it
possible for corn belt fajrmcrs to
realize this net gain of more than
$S2,000,000, have been of inestim
able value not only to agriculture but
to business in general. The loans
also had the highly important effect
of causing a carryover of approxi
matelv 50.000.000 more bushels ci
i -
corn into the fall feeding season than
! would have been carried over with-
out the loan. The availability of this ,
corn for feeding has undoubtedly re
suited in average lower cots than
would have prevailed had the corn
moved from the farluerin into com
mercial channels.

the farmers paid for loans covered

$22,000,000; Ohio, S2S0.000; South
Dakota, $1,700,000.
Com loans were made from Decem
ber, 1933, to August, 1934, at the
following rates per month: Decem

August $2,337.
Repayment began the same month
loans began, in December, 1933, and
have continued without interruption
ever since. The peak cf payments
was reached in August, 193 !, with
$37,759,238 received. Officials say
there has been no trouble whatever in
collecting paymsnts cf leans,
:nd
only in a few cases has the govern -
mc-nt had to pcr,ses3 corn under real
to take care cf the leans. These
have been the rare cases in which
borrowers moved leaving the corn on
the abandoned premises, or have
otherwise failed to properly take care
of the corn. It is anticipated that
the email balance still due will be
paid without less.

Choice of Game
Commission
Unanimously Recommended to Gov
ernor Cochran for Another
Term as Warden.
Frann B. O'Connell was unani
mously recommended by the state
game and park commission to Gover
nor Cochran for reappointment as
secretary of the commission and chief
game warden, Tuesday afternoon at
the first meeting held since the
change of governors. O'Connell has
served since March, 1926, in that
capacity. The present commission
was created in Aril, 1929, and he
continued under the new law. He
has been holding without appoint
ment since last April. The commis
sion made no recommendation to the
former governor, withholding action
until the first meeting after Cochran
became governor.
Governor Cochran announced the
action of the board as ex-officlo
chairman. He made no statement as
to whether he would make the ap
pointment a3 recommended, ncr did
he say that the law does not require
him to appoint one recommended by
the commission. He is said to be fa
vorably considering the recommenda
tion. The appointment will ue for a
term cf six years. The salary was
formerly $300 a month but under a
10 percent cut fcr many state em
ployes this was reduced to $270 a
month. O'Connell has affiliated with
the republican party. The statute
does not require the appointment of
chief game warden and secretary to
be submitted to the legislature for
confirmation, nor does it carry any
political requirements. It does pro
vide that of the five members of the
commission not more than three shall
be of the same political party. The
chief game warden is not one cf the
commissioners.
The recommendation was made by
the five members, Guy R. Spencer,
Omaha; Georga 15. Hastings, Grant;
J. B. Douglas, Tecumseh; M. M. Sul
livan, Spalding; W. J. Tiley, North
Platte. Mr. Tiley, a recess appointee
of Governor Bryan, i3 a member of
the board in full standing until both
houses of the legislature decree oth
erwise. Hi3 confirmation is yet to
bo acted upon, by the house and sen-r
ate. A committee representing the
two houses has not yet reported re
garding lii3 confirmation but may do
so soon.

Cleveland. The degree of national
economic recovery in 1935, in the
opinion of Col. Leonard Ayres, busi
ness statistician, will probably de
pend more directly on the valume of
automobile production and new resi
dence construction than on any other
factors in the field of industry. In
his monthly survey of business Col
onel Ayres, vice president of the
Cleveland Trust company, points out
that these two elements were the
most important in the recovery from
the depression of 1921, and "played
a most important part in creating the
subsequent prosperity period."
For 1935, he expresses no doubt
that automobiles will continue their
rapid increase in the rate of produc
tion, but asserts the outlook for
residential construction i.s less bright.
