Sy 8. J. ulrrfoax-Ursa,
(Obioege niventng Post,)
PVBIy did the world need more than now to hear
the authoritative voice of Jesus,
If we are to bring order out of chaos, peace
out of conflict, brotherhood out of clash of class
and group, wemust return in humble spirit to
the Bethlehem isianger, to the Nazareth shop, to.
the market place, the seashore or the mountain-
side, where the message of Jestis was spoken to
the hearts of men.
Jesus believed in man. It is well to empha-
of size this fact in an age of cynicism. There was
no room for despair in His philosophy, He came
into a world where force an'd' fraud and oppression prevailed,
and to the hour of His triumphant death He never doubted
that' love and justice and freedom were possible in human re-
lations.
Jesus believed in man as a potential Son of God. His ideal
for society contemplated the emancipation of man from the
control of material things. Mammon should not rule; there
should be no occasion for anxious thought concerning any need
of the body; the spiritual nature of man should be free to
realize its highest destiny.
In the program that He worked out as He toiled at the
bench He planned that service should be the motive and co-
operation the method in human industry. We have substituted
self -advantage for service, and mutual exploitation for co-
operation. While these rule in motive and method we shall
never realize the happiness He desired for us the happiness
we seek.
Jesus set small store by charity. The philanthropy of
almsgiving was to Him a mere cloak for the imperfections and
inequities of human relations. He put all the emphasis of
His teaching and example upon justice and love. In a world
where these prevailed charity would be unnecessary.
We have traveled so far from the ideals of Jesus it is not
easy to restore thein. But there is no other way to find a per-
manent solution for the troubles that disturb us. His road is
the only road. It involves sacrifice. We cannot avoid the cross.
But beyond Calvary lies the realization of our hopes.
It is not enough that the spirit of Jesus should be wor-
shiped in our temples or revered in our homes. It is not enough
that His sympathy and help should be expressed in our hos-
pitals, our orphanages, our institutions for the poor and the
afflicted. To be satisfied with this is to evade the real challenge
of His message and to lose the real meaning of His promise.
The spirit of Jesus must be brought into factory and mine
and bank and railroad system; into store and office.
It must reveal to us that man is more than the machine
with which he works; that material wealth was meant to be
the servant, not the master, of the human soul; that the mak-
ing of a life is the supreme thing, for which the making of 'a
livelihood is merely incidental.
Until we get this vision, we will approach the solution of
our problems without true understanding.
It is time that men who believe in Jesus should make
their faith count—not merely in religious observance, but in
human relations; in civic duty; in business; in industrial man-
agement; in the tasks of office and workshop.
The hope of the world rests upon the leadership of Jesus.
we city, seated eating 111s humble
lunch on the veranda of a road house
he overheard two men talking. They
mentioned a name that caused Ivan
to prick up kis eara. It was that of
Alma Helmsby, the daughter of hie
wealthy landlord. Ivan was quick
witted, 'pieced together the facts
named, and comprehended that one e!
the men expected to have Miss Helms -
by meet him soon in her automobile
and they were to elope. Enough was
gleaned by Ivan to confirm the fact
that the fellow was a merciless scoun-
drel already married, and only after
the money of the rich helre*..
It was by pure circumstance that an
hour later Ivan came ' upon Mise
Helmsby in her automobile. In his
tame, but convincing way he told her
of the true character of her fiance.
She believed him, and 'pale and in
tears ' returned home, offering him
money for his service, which Ivan re-
fused,.and imploring Midi to keep the
entire matter secret.
Ivan had forgotten all'about this in-
cident as time passed on. It was near-
ing holiday time when he came home

of farm plunder for the little ones

On many a farm, if the grain
eaten and wasted by rats and mice
could be sold, the proceeds would
more than pay all the farmer's taxes.
The common brown rat breeds six
to ten times a year and produces an
average of ten young at a litter.
Young females breed when only three
or four months old.
At this rate a pair of rats, breed-
ing uninterruptedly and without
deaths, would at the end of three
years (18 generations) be increased
to 869,709,482 individuals,
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization
and at the same time has been feed-
ing them and building for them fort-
resses for concealment. If we are to
fight them on equal terms we must
deny them food and hiding places.
We must organize and unite to rid
communities of these pests. The time
to begin is now.
Granaries, corncribs, and poultry
houses may be made rat -proof by a
liberal use of cement in the found-
ations . and floors; or the floors may
be of wood resting upon concrete.
It has been found that in poultry
houses, dry soil or sand may be used
as a coveringefor the cement floor,
and in stables a wooden door resting

of rate is con -
corned, r. errs
The common peactice of settin
corncribs on posts with inverted pans
at the top often fails to exclude rata,
because the posts are not high
enough to place the lower cracks of
the structure beyond reach of the
animals. As rats are excellent jump -
ere, the posts should be tall enough
to prevent the animals from obtain-
ing a foothold at any place within
three feet of the ground. A crib built
in this way, howe(er, 1s not very
satiatactory,
For a rat -proof crib a well -drained
site should be chosen. The outer
walls, laid in cement, ahould be sunk
about 20 inches into the ground. The
space within' the • walls should be
grouted thoroughly with cement and
broken stone and finished with rich
concrete for floor. Upon this the
structure may be built. Even the
Walls of the crib may be of concrete:
Corn will not mold in contact with
them, provided there is good ventila-
tion and the roof is water -tight.
However, there are cheaper ways
of excluding rats from either new or
old corncribs. Rats, mice, and spar-
rows may be kept out effectually by
the use of either an inner or an outer
covering of galvanized -wire netting
of half-inch mesh and heavy enough
to resist the teeth of the rats. The
netting in common use in screening
cellar windows is suitable for cover-
ing or lining cribs. As rats can climb
the netting, the entire structure must
be screened, or, if ;marrows are not
to be excluded, the wire netting may
be carried up about three feet from
the ground, and above this a belt of
sheet metal about a foot in width
may be tacked to the outside of the
building.
Owing to their cunning, it is not
always easy to clear rats from prem-
ises by trapping; if food is abundant,
it is impossible. A few adults refuse
to enter the most innocent -looking
trap. And yet trapping, if persistent-
ly followed, is one of the most effec-
tive ways of destroying the animals.
For general use thenmproved mod-
ern traps with a wire fall released
by a batted trigger and driven by a
coiled spring have marked advan-
tages over rho old forms, and many
of them may bo used at tho same
time. These traps, sometimes called
"guillotine" traps, aro of many de-
signs, but the more simply construct-
ed are Preferable, Probably those
made entirely of metal are the best,
as they aro more durable. Traps with
tin or sheet -metal bases ars not
recommended.
A small section of an ear of corn
is an excellent bait if other grain is
not present. Other excellent baits
for rats and mice are oatmeal, toast-
ed noose, toasted bread (buttered),
fish, fish offal, fresh flyer, raw meat,
pine nuts, apples, carrots, and corn,
and sunflower, squash, or pumpkin
geode, Broken fresh eggs are good
bait at ail seams, and ripe tomatoes,
