THE SALARY BILL: The Governor and his supporters in the General Assembly demonstrated yesterday that they have the backbone and the ability to get things done when they make up their minds. A bill to revamp the pay of county officers was prepared in advance. It seems to have been formulated skillfully and in compliance with changed conditions. Caucuses were held yesterday in both houses of the Legislature to which members of the Republican minority were invited. The bill was considered and then passed under suspension of the rules and went to Governor McNutt for his signature. It was a thankless task and an unpleasant one and the Governor and the legislators took the right course. There was no doubt as to the need for sharp cuts in the payot county officers. It had to come and nothing would have been gained by temporizing. If the measure had not been put through in record time all the county officials in the state would have been up in arm*. They and their friends would have bombarded the legislators with reasons for delay. The whole matter is now out of the way, as it should be. The salary standardization bill calls for the saving of more titan $600,000 a year on the pay of county officials and is in line with present trends in all fields of endeavor. The new schedules are worked out on a basis of population and the volume of business in the various offffices. While the total of all the reduction is a large sum, the cut Is not a hardship in the individual cases. The salary adjustments are not more drastic than those made in the pay rolls of business institutions. —Indianapolis Star.

booster for this for its the real turning point in the long depression that has made such havoc. . j The eougty council of Adams (county will meet in extra session I I ion Hie 21st to decide upon the | proper course for taking care of a ■J number of claims carried otter [ • from 1932 and for which there are t no funds appropriated. It is prob-' able that until the various counties I 8 get organized for the lower tax' j rate, problems similar to this will , 5 arise but the council will solve J them to Hie best advantage of j[ every one. At this meeting also ) 1 the council will consider the advisability of making a loan to take; care of poor relief. Postmasters are worrying these I days as to what action will be tak'en by the new postmaster general, 'probably Mr. Farley, after he assumes his position March 4th. Some times the old officials carry over to the end fixed by their commissions and some times they don't, so you can imagine just how the boys feel these days since some one has been mean enough to bring ‘ the subject up. 1 The legislatuie is moving right ' along and doing things and the pub- ■ lie likes it. Os course the program ' hits some places but it is well to remember that every one else is ' having a rather difficult time putting it over these days. We believe that unless they get crossed or do something unwise, the record will be given the approval of the general public. The weather man seems to have again overlooked something, for 1 his prediction that the ten below ' zero temperature would hang on a '■ week didn't prove out even over ' night for which we are all truly i thankful to whoever was respon-' : sible. The hotel Millard in Omaha| burned the other night, causing the | i death of seven men and in tragic i irony a huge sign stands out boldl ly over the tangled ruins of the s building. It reads "Fireproof” and < seems to again prove thal there is s ino such thing. ;! In Germany six elections have i been held in efforts to form a -government that will continue. .

On the same day that Jesus told the Parable of the Sower, as he sat in the boat by the shores of Galilee and preached to the multitude, he spoke other parables for their consideration. “Is the lamp to be put under the bushel, or under the bed. and not to be put upon the stand?” Jesus questioned. "For there is nothing hid that should be manifest, nothing secret but should come to light.”

Where does modesty and self reliance end and pride and aggressiveness commence? In his parables spoken by the shores of Galilee as the multitude | gathered about his little boa:. , Jesus told the story of the lamp. ' Hidden beneath the bushel or uinler the lied, it could not lighten the night. But placed upon a aland, it could brighten the dark ness. We may interpret that parable in our everyday life in the words of Shakespeare: "So tar tliis candle throws its little beam. So shines a good deed in this naughty world." We must not hide our light uudei a bushel. Be it talents or good deeds, we must not so con- i coal them that they will dot cast what little beam they possess and illumine the world about them. But it is right here that the dis fereutiation between modesty and pride enters in. And here we must differentiate carefully not to be boastful of our u< eomplish men Is. Nothing is so disagreeable as ■ the blatant, self-assertive individual who speaks of his accom plishments and sounds bis own praises to the housetops. Nothing is so helpful as those who go; about doing their acts, confidently and modestly, and letting them I speak for themselves. I Actions speak louder than words. We do not need to advertise our charities. We do not need, I to declare our abilities.

"Take heed what ye hear,” he continued, "For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you. The kingdom of heaven is as if man should cast seed upon the earth. While he sleeps and rises, the seed springs forth, he knoweth not how, and puts forth a blade, and then an . ear, and then the full grain. But when the fruit is ripe, he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest time has come.”

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Growth of the Kingdom 1 QUESTIONS 1. When and where did the in ’ cidents of today’s lesson occur? ■ 2. What was the purpose of the parables which Jesus spoke at lliis time? 3. Describe the Jewish lamp of that period? 4. Why did Christ use this example’ 5. What example did he employ in the farmer who sowed the ' seed ? 6. What was meant by the har1 vest time? 7. What was the significance of tlie parable of the mustard seed ? 8. How High does the plant from this tiny seed grow? 9. What is the application of ■ tlie parable to our personal life? 10. What is th° application of 5 tlie parable to tlie church? ANSWERS 1. Today's lessen is a continuance of that of last Sunday. It occurred by the Sea of Galilee iu the second year of Christ's minj istry. 28 A. D. 2. Jesus sought u> inspire his . disciples —most of them from lowly walks of life—with the desire Io accomplish great things through obeying the commands of their omnipotent Lord. 3. The Jewish lamp to which Jesus refers in the parable was a shallow earthenware dish, either open or covered, filled with olive oil on which a wick floated. The oil was dra.vn up by capillary a tti action. 4. Christ had been speaking on "the mystery of tlie kingdom of God," and he wished his followers to know that this mystery could be understood by any and all of them. 5. Jesus pointed out tliat while the farmer slept, the seed grew rind tile man know not why. Yet at harvest time he harvested. So man with all his science is no 1 nearer the origin of life than in the beginning and he understands it as little as the farmer understands the seed. Harvest Hmc was the period when the fulfillment of the year's work was realized. As Jesus used it. it meant tlie day of judgment, when results would be rewarded. 7. The. mustard seed is tlie smallest of all seeds, yet from it ■ grow trees to shelter birds. So, ' from little beginnings. great things can come to pass to shelter these iu need of help. 8. In the hot climates ot the east, the mustard plant reaches a height of ten or twelve feet. i 9. Each one of us, no matter how lowly and humble, can do hfs 1 or her part to make tlie world ' better. IP. From small beginnings comes the church. Despite its persecution, tt has grown and prospered. lake the mustard seed, it has grown a tree to shelter those wlio seek its protection.

"How shall we liken the kingdom of God or in what parable shall we set it forth?” Jesus asked. “It is like a mustard seed sown upon the earth, less than all other seeds that be. Yet when it is sown, it groweth up and becometh greater than all the herbs. It putteth out great branches, so that the birds of the heaven can come and find a shelter in the safety of its shadow. Even as such is the kingdom of God.”
