No. 4, White Center, Association | | Some 1,900 years ago in the city of Jerusalem there went jon a discussion concerning Sabbath observance, similar to the one now in progress, A preacher was going about pro- | claiming ideals new to the times, He shocked conservatives |; with new interpretations of Sabbath proprieties, His name was Jesus. According to the gospel of Luke, Jesus was teaching on the Sabbath day. And He beheld a woman “that had a spirit of infirmity 18 years.” “And when Jesus saw her he called her, and said to her, ‘Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.” And He laid His hands upon her; and immediately she was straight and glorified God.” Thereupon, a man opposed to Jesus and His teaching was “moved with indignation because Jesus had healed lon the Sabbath.” This man arose and addressed the multi- | tude, saying, “There are six days in which men ought to | work; in them, therefore, come and be healed and not on the day of the Sabbath.” “But the Lord answered him and said, ‘Doth not each one }of you on the Sabbath loose his ox from the stall and lead him to the watering? And ought not this woman whom | Satan had bound, lo, these 18 years, to have been loosed from the stall and lead him to taoicmfwyetaoL. ... coto |from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?’ ” On twé other occasions Jesus clashed with the leading |citizens of the community over Sabbath observance. On ene of these occasions He healed a man with a withered hand and in response to protests He said: “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save life or to destroy it?” He also gave a sharp answer to the “scribes and Phari- | Sees,” who protested because His disciples had plucked }grain from the field and eaten it on the Sabbath. Thus, it will be observed, the question, “What shall and shall not be done on the Sabbath?” dates from the dawn Jesus Himself, the question has been answered as condition, jcommoh sense and necessity dictated. How Do They Suit You? ‘They are talking rther glibly about @ return to the blue awa The Viea, which ts expected to be brought to the early attention of congrem, may be rather far-reaching In its effects. And a great many people will be interested in how the nation’s lawmaking body handles the problem. Just now, the, some wonder if there are not a great many who do not just understand what the “Diue Imws" of early Connecticut and Massachusetts were. Here were some of them under which our fore fathers “did the bent they could”: “Lf any person ls a witch, he or «be ahaN be put to death. Any Rody who sets a fire In the woods and ft burns down a house shall! suffer death. Suspicion of setting fire in the woods shall make one fallable but not be 1 None shall make mince plea, "dance, play/ cards or play on any musical instrument, except on the drum, trumpet or jJewsharp. The judges shall determine guilt or Innocence and not a jury. No woman shall kim her child on Sunday. None shall crom a/ river except an authorized ferryman. Married people must Nve together | or suffer imprisonment. Man shall not court maid except after written | consent of her parents. Penalty for violation of this law ts five pounds for the first offense, ten for the second afi@ indefinite imprison. ment for the third. Whoever shall bring cards or dice into the settle | ment must pay a fine of five pounds. Every male aball have his hair cut round acconiing to @ cap.” There was another naive old dive law, and f wes thic If a chfid above 16 years shall curse or smite his or her parents, it shall be put to death, upleas it be proved that the parents have been very unchristian- ly negiigent in the education of that child Care for any of them? Loose Talk Dangerous Orfinarfty people flee from the peastmist. They dodge the person overly fond of talking of his troubles, or another's. They are still more anxious to avold the man who talks of troubles that exist only in for instance. This is as true now as it was a year ago. And yet, today, there is more of this “viewing with alarm.” It fen’t that there ts need for peastminm now. It tent that ‘the | country is worse off than it wan The reverse is a fact. The United States is more prowperous than ever beforn The years crops were fine The year's production of manufactured goods was all that could be desired. No danger threatens from avithout, or within, No danger? Yes, there ix dangert The danger of joose talk. Richard S. Hawes, former president of the American Bankers’ as | sociation, says | “Loose talk and gosstp ts the mort dangerous of the varioun com) Mleting currenta of the present time.” | He asks for “calm, thoughtful consideration of prevalting eontitions.” “Let us encourage an optimistic attitude for the future,” Hawes ad. vines; “and develop in our own minds = firm foundation of belief in the future of our country, its resources and its people.” For Mothers. and Babies ‘The senate voted favorably on the SheppardTowner maternity bm Fine for the senate! ‘This bill appropriates $4,000,000 to maferuart women, ewpectalty of rural districts, during the most trying period of maternity. Of course it should have passed the senate. But, {t seems, there was considerable opposition. For instance, the very wealthy Senator Warren | of Wyoming, was outspoken in his opposition. He pleaded for economy. He insisted that to’ spend $4,000,000 saving lives of mothers and babies | was too much, considering “the treasury is in such bad shape.” | While the senator was willing to save a little four million doMars at the expense of mothers and babies, he was preparing for submiacon to the senate a bill appropriating 400 million for the army, and another bill appropriating 500 million for the navy. | But the senate passed the Sheppard-Towner bil, Fine for the senated “but we ain't | | yeoman stole $72,000 from Norfolk savy yard.

Stored Foods At certain seasons of the year, mature mothers us in generous lavishness; at other seasons shoe treats us as outcasts, One great service rendered by Swift & Company to the consumer is in taking some of the surplus of nature’s plenty and storing it against the season of non-production. This is a service based upon sound common sense and meets a definite economic need. This enables you to obtain all the year round some foods which other- wise would be so abundant in certain months that the entire supply could not be used, and so scarce at other times that prices would be prohibitive. Swift & Company has equipped its plants and branch houses with refrig- erating plants, and has a sufficient number of refrigerator cars to carry a supply of meat foods to its customers. Space in public cold storage ware- houses also is used by us to carry perishables until they are needed, We, store only enough meat, butter, poultry, eggs, and cheese to supply our customers during the ™ period of scarcity and not to specu- late on rising prices. Our storage profits during the last eight years have averaged about one cent a dozen on eggs, and less than a cent a pound on butter and poultry. Storage of food is a world necessity and we regard our part in this as an important factor in our service in supplying the nation with wholesome food.
