LONE TREE REPORTER, LONE TREE, IOWA. News Review of Current Events the World 0ver Steer Remonetized by Order of the President--Recovery Program Developments--Huey Long's Income Tax Under Investigation. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ILVER has come back. By execu- tive order of President Roosevelt it is remonetized In the United States and will ba coLned on a large scale. F o r m a 11 y ratifying the London confer- once agreement and exercising the powers given him by the in, fiation amendment to the farm adjustment act, the President di- rected all the federal mnts to accept for coinage all silver mined hereafter in the United States or mator Its possessions, up to I Plttman 24,000,000 ounces a year, at a price of 64 cents an ounce. This is to be in force for four years. The government split the present legal price of $1.29 an ounce for sll- .vor In half in reaching a purchase • ure which is 19 cents an ounce over the present open market. 'Tall proclamation," the lesident wrote, "in accordance with thb act of congress, opens our mints to the coinage of standard silver dollars from silver hereafter produced in the United State& or its possession& sub- Ject to the depositors of such silver surrendering to the government one- half of it as selgntorage and to cover all usual charges and expenses. The dollar coined from half of such newly mined silver will be returned to the depositor. The half surrendered to the government will be retained by the treasury." Mr. Roosevelt, in ratifying the agreement, pointed out that such a ties already has been taken bY the government of India and that other nations concerned were ready also to act. Most Jubilant of all public men over the President's action was Sena- tor Key Plttman of Nevada, who, as a delegate to the London conference, took a leading part In drawing up the silver agreement He foresees greatly increased export business as a result of the move because the buy- ing power of the silver-using coun- tries of the Far East, especially China and India, is lifted by about 50 per cent Senator Plttman said the effect of the new order would be to take into the treasury about 24,000,050 ounces of silver, to coin one.half of it and deliver it to the owner or depositor of the sliver. The ther 50 per cent will be retained asbutllon in the treasury, It is his epectatlon that the new order of the White House will give great encouragement to the silver mining regions of the West. OTH the federal Surplus Relief corporation and the agricultural adjustment administration have been purchasing commodities for the relief of the idle, and thereby economy and efficiency have suffered. Such pur- chasing operaUons have now been con- solidated tn the Surplus Belief corpora" €Ion. The administration also was com- pleting plans for utilizing the SurplUS Relief corporation as a device for re. tiring millions of acres of submarginal lands from cultivation. The work IS being directed by Rexford G. Tug- well, assistant ecretary of agrlcul- lure, and it is planned to use funds of the public works administration to purchase the economically unproduc- tive aress. NOTHFR development of the new deal in relation to farmers may be expected soon. Experts of the Agri- culture department are working on the details of a huge federal corporation to finance renovation of farm homes on liberal credit terms. The civil works administration has undertaken a census of farm homes to find out what is needed. Loans are contem- plated for the addition of rooms, and for the repair, replacement or instal- laflon of electric refrigeration, electric lights; and for new plumbing and landscaping. The government would buy the necessary materials and con. tract with private concerns for the work. FFICIALS of 21 railroad unions met in Chicago and adopted a pro- gram of desired legislation that in- eludes a six-hour working daY for the million or more railway workers in the country as a means of Increasing em- ploymenL A. F. Wlfltney, president of the Brotherhood of Ptlway Trainmen, who acted as chairman at the meet- ing, estimated that a six.hour day would cost the railroads of the coun- try $800,000,000 annually. The rail. roads themselves have estimated the probable cost at twice that amount, he admitted. The same weekly and monthly basic pay schedules are to be retained for the railway men under the program. FTER receiving a report from an tnvestigat eommittce headed by Robert S. Lynd, the consumers' ad- visory board of the NRA recommend- ed the establishment of a consumers' standards board that would be charged with the development of means of en- forcing accurate labeling. Among the articles named as needing quality grad, ing are gasoline, razor blades and cl- dren's shoe Legitimate industry, in the opinion of the board, is encounter- Ing destructive competltto from un- ethical producers who are reducing the quality of their products to fill the gap In their profits caused by enforcement of  wage and employment stand- ard Administrator Hugh S. Johnson was busy trying to clear up the situation concerning the cleaners and dyers, Many in this industry had been cited for prosecution for refusing to com. ply with prescribed minimum prices. The cash-and-arry cleaners contend- ed these prices were so high that their business would be ruined. Johnson defended the prices pre- scribed as "reasonable and fair for the quality of cleaning which the public has the right to expect," but conceded that "there is some demand for lower quality or so-called scamped work." "Accordingly," he continued, "clean- ere who wish to maintain higher prices and higher standards, may Join with the President to continue the minimum prices originally approved and such cleaners will be given the right tO dis* play the blue eagle with appropriate insignia yet to be decided on, indicat- ing they are maintaining higher qual- ity and higher prices." HEN President Roosevelt's pet project in the Tennessee valley is far enough advanced to manufacture electric power it is going to produce a lot of it, and consumers will be need- ed. So, to create a market for this energy the President has set up a million dollar mortgage loan corpora- tion, using public works funds, and di- rected it to finance electric appliance purchases in the Tennessee region. Cheap credit will be extended to all home owners and residents within the Tennessee Valley Authorlty area for this purffose. Manufacturers of electrical house- hold goods are enthusiastic over the prospect of having the government fur- nish funds with which their products can be bought ENATOR HY P. LONG, the Lou- isiana 'lgflsh," may be nearing the end of his rope. The latest news about him Is that the administration has decided upon his prosecution on the often heard charges of evasion of income taxes. When Mr. Hoo- ver was President an lnvestigatron of his re- ceipts, as well as those of his political associ- ates in Loulsianswas started, and dropped probably because the Presidential election Senator Long was near. Now thls inquiry has been resumed..the agents of the internal revenue department seeking to find out whether Long re ported in his income tax schedules all the sunm he received both as governor of Louisiana and as United States senator. In Washington it is held vir- tually certain that this action has the approval of President Roosevelt. Huey himself professes not to be worried. "That matte was scheduled to come up now," he said to an inter- viewer. "It has been up 750 times be. fore, and always comes Just before congress meets. I am not Interested." Longs power In his home state is, fast waning. In the first place, he has been unahle to obtain any recognition In the matter of federal patronage. And the sehate committee's investlga. ties of the election of Long's col- league, Senator Overton, uncovered a most unsavory mess, the odor of which offends Louisiana folk. Only a few days ago Mayor T. S. Walmsisy of A'ew Orleans announced that he had definitely broken with the "kingfish," and others of his prominent adherents have followed suit RANCE'S worst railroad disaster made Christmas a time of mourning instead of Joy there. One hundred and ninety men, women and children per- ished when the Paris*Strasbourg flyer crashed Into the Nancy express at full speed at Pompenne, about 15 miles from Paris` The accident happened during a dense fog. In the number of dead this disaster was second only to one at Gretna Green, Scotland, in 1915, in which 227 persons were killed.

During the Intervening time, s*-ug- Sling, striving to keep on her feet, and do her work, Anne had waited, at first hopefully, then despairingly, for the confidences which she had expected he would pour into her ear, the advice which he would seek from her "wom- anly intuition," She was sure there must be principles at stake, great prin- ciples by which he must either Stand or fall Instead, she heard, when he had time to talk to her at all about reilfes, about advertising space In newspapers, about quantities of cigars and doze of bottle of whisky. Sick as she felt, she longed to have him ask her to go with him to some of the public meetings but he never did. He had a secretary at his office now, Miss Llllle Letts, who chewed gum and wore transparent, flesh-colored shirtwalsts: but she was effielent she did everything for Neal that Anne had pictured her- self doing some day. Anne sat at home, coughing her head off--for her cold had settled in her chestand ach- ing all over. mentally as well as physically. There were no evenings together In the Morris chair, her head on his shoulder, his arms about her. She tried to walt up for him. night after night, but she was so tired, and he was so late--nearly always after dnlgh She was never asleep when he came in, but whether he hesitated to risk disturbing her, or whether he was too tired himself to crave for her companionship-- Anne never knew which It was---he tumbled into bed be- side her without a sign that he was aware of her presence. In the morn- lug he never wakened until she shook him gently, telling him that he had overslept, or the telephone bell Jan- glad across hls blurred sense Then he bolted hls breakfast, and was gone. Then finally he came to her and told her that he had won. . . . o that was What a campaign was llke. The legislature met In anuary, still two months away. In the meantime, Neal felt that he must, as far as pos- sible, catch up with his neglected pro- fession. It had been neglected, of course; but it had not suffered. He had gained prestige as a successful candidate, and new eases poured in upon him. He decided to keep an extra room, and Miss Lotto. He really needed both. At last he talked to Anne about his plans for going to Belf0rd, "I shall have to be there at least from Monday to Thursday every week. And it seems to me that it would be better for you to stay right on here. The sessions will be over In April Of course It Isn't as 4f you were lU a h)use all alone. I know Mrs. Stm. mona is right here, and you can call on her, if you need anything." This time, had any reply been ex. peeled of her, Anne could not have made it. He meant to leave her be- hind ! The idea had never occurred to her, and here It was all mapped out, in orderly fashion, In his mind, He would miss her so little, with his new interests, that he could face with reslg. nation---with approval--the thought of being separated from her more than half the time for several months. And she would not have left him, for any known bribe, o spend a few days dur- ing the torrid summer among the monntalns, that were so dear to her. She had slaved for his comfort, for his well being, and she had insured both, at the cost of her own radiant health. for try as she might, she could not seem to pull herself up physically. MercifulLy, she did not doubt either I love or his sincerity, as indeed, she no reason to do. He was looking at the situation in the reasonable. logical way, the way he always looked at.everything, the way that enabled him to get ahead so fast mast passion for her awakened again and burned more hotly than ever be fore. But it had a different quality. If It was more intense, it was less ten- der. He sought to possess her the more completely In the present be- cause the past had dispossessed him, and because the future was about to do so, fiercely resentful of a condition for which he had only himself to blame. There was a lack of spon- taneity, a weariness, in Anne's r sponse, which changed It from an an- swering flame to a mere affectionate and dutiful acquiescence; still she never failed to respond. And Neal no- ticed the change in her far less than she noticed the change in hln The holidays brought a flash of gay- ety. Neal had whipped his affairs into shape, and was ready enough to Join In a few festivities before his departure. Somewhat tardily, he became aware that Anne's trousseau had grown very shabby, and that neither she--nor he --had suggested that she might llke to have some new clotbe Neal gave her two dress lengtha---a black satin and a green voile-and she made them up herself, on the superior sewing ma- chine. On a visit to Boston, he bought a long, fur-trlmmed coat, with hat to match, and sent them to her. He never knew how seldom she wore them. His days in Hlnsboro, which dwindled to one, or at the most two, a week, were spent In feverish activities at the office. He gave up all pretense of getting home to supper, not even tele- phoning any more to say that he could not do so. From Belford he wrote her hurried little notes on scratch paper every daywell, nearly every day. It did not surprise him that her letters were not much longer, and not much more communicative than his own. He did not dream that day after day when he was not at home--and indeed often when, nominally, he was. she did not get up at all, or very little. The cold had vanished at last, leaving her weak and listless ; but uncontrollable nausea had taken Its place. She grew steadily worse, while the tiny fiat in which she had taken such pride and which she had kept so sweet and shinIng was left to neglect and disorder. And still Neal didn't guess, didn't notice--- Of course he loved her, loved her dearly, bntwas he blind? March came In like a lion, roaring lustily. Anne lay In bed, listening to the wind howling, to the Icy tapping of sleet against the window panes, It was nearly dark by four In the after- noou. She had not tried to get up at all, since It made her faint with dizzi- ness even to cross the room to her bureau, and, after all, what was there to get up for? She drew the tumbled sheet up about her head to shut out the sound of the storm. As she did so, the doorbell rang. At first she pald no attention. It rang insistently. At last she staggered to her feet. thrust them into her bed- slippers, and threw her soiled kimono "about her shoulders. When she reached the front door. some one was pounding on It Leaning against the wall. she turned the lock. Before her stood Mr. Golden- burg, his kind, round face beaming with Joy at the surprise he had given her. She sprang towards him with a cry of happiness. The next Instant she had fainted away. • $ $ $  • • "Now, my tear lidel frlent, tell old Able all apoud IL" "Oh, Mr. Goldenburg, ! am so glad tO see you ! I never was so glad to see anyone in all my life." "Vet eel--you must yust lie still a minute, an' holt my hast. I ain't goner run away. Youql feet petter bretty soon, heln?" He had carried her back to bed, still unconscious, put a hot-water bottle at her feet. and dashed cold water over her white face. When she came to herself, she was crying bitterly, and clinging to him as ff she would never let him go. "So--so. Where Is NealT' In Belford. From Monday to FH- day every week. And from Friday to Monday he's In h oflce." -So--so. w • 'He doesn't know. He hasn't no- ticed. Oh.

Ad all that. I never read a word about this awful nausea, and feeltn as if you'd rather die than live, and being lonely and forlorn.

We are now entering upon a six months' study of the gospel acording to Matthew. In order that the lesson may be properly presented the teacher must master the book of Matthew as a whole, and then present each lesson in its relation to the central purpose of the book. The central theme of Matthew is "Jesus Christ. the son of David, the son of Abraham, the covenant King" (Matt. I :I). I. The Birth of Jesus, the King (Matt. 1:18-25). L The Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen 3:15), the son of a virgin. This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt. I:I-17) shows his legal right to the throne. Only a descendant of David could be recognized. 2. The Saviour was to be divine (Ise. 9:6). He must be more than the son of David in order to be a Saviour. He nust be both human and divin Jesus was begotten by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, thus be- coming Immanuel, which in Its fuIlnes means "God with us, God for us, and God in Us." II. The Childhood of Jm ths King (Matt 2 :I-23). 1. Wise Men from the East.seeking Israel's King (w. I, 2). Christ's ad- vent was heralded by a star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and to worship him, even pouring out their gifts to him. These men were Persian or Arabian astrologers, stu- dents of e stars. Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Through the Influ- ence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct lnfiu of Daniel extending to this time, they had become acquainted with the hope of the Jews aa to the Messiah. They may have known of Biaam's prophecy. (Num. 24:17). 2. Herod seeking to kill Jem (v. 3-8, 16-18). The news brought by the Wise Men struck terror to Herod's heart. He was not alone in this for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. Thls news ought to have brought Joy, but a glimpse at the social customs In and about Jerusalem at that day enables us to understand why Herod and all Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins was not wanted. Herod de- manded of the priests and scribes in- formation as to where Christ should be born. The fact that they were able to tell hlm quickly shows that they had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. This oc- curred in erusalem, the city of the King, the piece of all places where he should have been welcome. It fre. quently occurs that where the greatest privileges are, there the greatest in- difference is shown to spiritual amt- ter When the Wise Men returned to their country by another way, Hod slew aH the male children two years and under in and around Bethlehem. 8. The King found by the Wise Men (w. 12}, Having obtained the desired infor- mation these men started immediately to find Jesus. As they left the city the star which guided them in the east appeared again to direct them to the place where Christ was. When they found him they worshiped him. They did Dot see any miracles, only a babe; yet they worshiped him as king. 'lessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 29:29). 4. The King protected (w. 13-23). (a) Flight to Egypt (w. 1S-15). To escape Herod's wicked aim, God direct° ed Joseph to take 'Mary and the child Jesus and flee t6 Egypt In obedisnee to the hehveuly vision he went and re- mained there until Herod's death. (b) Return to Nazareth (w. 19-23). Upon the death of Herod, the angel of the Lord directed Jeaelh to take Jesus and his mother and return to the land of Israel Though Herod was dead It was not proper for him to re- turn to Judea. By divine direction he turned aside into parts of Galilee and dwelt at Nazareth. Nazareth ham held a fair renown through the centuries only beeamm it was the spot where Jesus grew In wis. dom and stature, and In favor with God and man. The Bible This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salva- tion, the doom of sinners and the hap. piness of believers.
