Exeerpu from sermons preaehml by other pastors will tie publielieil next Monday. Rev. Charles M. Pruph "The Parable of the Unemployed ’ Text. Matt- 20:6. "And he with l»ufco them. ‘Why : sts nd ye here all the day idle'.’ They say unto him, Because no inau ahth hired us ” There is something strangely modern about the story of the workeiw in the vineyard. When we read it we seem to feel that we are in | America in 1025 rather than in .Palestine in the Roman period, it speaks of an employer who goes out to hire men, it tells us oi a fixed , wage agreed upon before the men

Excessive production of com may be expected in the fall of 1935 unless a large percentage of farmers agree to hold plantings for the year within reasonable limits, it is pointed out by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. The normal response to severe, though temporary feed shortages and high feed prices occasioned by severe drought Is a planting of a larger than average acreage to corn the following year. At the same time, yields per acre usually return to normal and a record crop with low feed prices results. Then, after a year or two, livestock production, particulerly of hogs, becomes excessive, and livestock prices also are forced down. For example, in 1895 following

News of advancing living costs, along with the arrival of income tax blanks for 1934, the bills for the past holiday season and talk of increasing the public debt, sends another quiver through the family budget. Since June, 1933, when the dollar had the greatest purchasing power in two decades, the cost of living h*s risen eight per cent, mainly

, began wsii. We hear of the exact i hour* of labor. Util especially real i and true to life is the picture we get of discouraged and bedraggled men standing idly aboqt the marketj place, for there we Isive h glimpse I of Ute army of the unemployed. “The difference between the picture in the parable and that of our own day is that in our time the workers have 'become more draper- ’ ate. They do not merely stand at.und idley in publi? iplaceu, they organize and agitate and stage great demonstrations which often end in riot and blood-shed. “Ask any of the unemployed and nine chanceu out of ten he will say that he is a victim of injustice. But the employers claim that they have been just and reasonable and fair, but the times are against them ’ and they do not have the wonk to give. Whatever else may be said,

the severe drought year of 1894, farmers increased their corn plantings by over ten million acres. The yield per acre followed the usual trend and returned to two bushels above average. As Indicated in tho above graph, a record crop resulted. On December 1, 1895, the price of corn was 25 cents per bushel as compared with approximately 45 cents per bushel the preceding year. By 1897, hog production had been greatly stimulated and prices were lower. The 1935 corn-hog production adjustment program offered by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration provides farmers with an opportunity for avoiding a similar reaction to the current drought situation.

in foods, clothing and house furnishing goods. During a five-month period in 1934, the cost of living by families of workers earning less than *2,000 a year increased 1.8 per cent. Figures of the bureau of labor statistics, supervised by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, fail to indicate any let-up in 1935.

our whole system of ceremonies in industry Is a reflection of the workings of human justice. From the parable of the workers in the vineyard we learned of the nature of the peculiar justice of God. The man wlp hud only worked one hour received a whole day's pay because his needs were just as great as the men who w irked all day. The needs of tile workers and the spirit and u<titude of their labor vount for much in the eight of God. “hike so many of the stories which Jesus told the Parable of the Unemployed thus becomes a window through which there shines the sunlight of God's grace.” —-—o IVANTED— Goo<<, clean, big Rags, suitable for cleaning machinery.

MARGE

SYNOPSIS In search of adventure, Mark Talbot sails on the S.S. "Orient” for Honolulu. On board, he meets beautiful Vanya Prokovna, professional dancer. Vanya ignores Mark, but he cannot forget her. In Honolulu, on a round of the night clubs, he searches for her in vain. Next morning, while standing on a wharf, he watches a boat steaming by and is stunned to see Vanya on deck. He learns the vessel belongs to Pearly Shene and is undoubtedly heading south for Tonga in “The Friendly Islands.” Anxious to get away from Honolulu. Mark books passage on the "Colin” sailing west. Mark cannot resist inquiring about Vanya's destination. He learns that “The Friendly Isles” were once cannibal islands now inhabited with the scum of the South Seas ... a disreputable place for any girl. All night Mark is haunted by Vanya’s image. Despite his resolve to forget Vanya, Mark finally arrives in Tonga. He feels that if he can find Vanya and learn more about her, he will be disappointed and the obsession will vanish. At a bar. his pulse quickens at the sight of a dark head, but it turns out to be that of a half-caste. CHAPTER IX Mark turned back to the bar. and tried to strike up a conversation with Jane. "Business good?” The burly bar-tender looked him over deliberately before replying. Though Mark was bronzed by his months in the tropics, dressed in | the conventional dirty whit breeches and boots, something in his manner, his walk or carnage, still differentiated him from the seamen of the Coral Seas. Finally, however, Jane decided that he must be a planter or rubber-man from one of the other islands, Hapei, perhaps, or Tongatabu. "Middlin’,” he drawled. “Better when the rains come, and the pearlers can’t work.” “Three months to the rains, Mark said. The other nodded, and went on silently with his work of polishing glasses on a dirty towel. “Say,” Mark said, leaning toward Jean in a confidential manner, “I knew a lady once that worked somewhere her in Tonga—danced. Name is Vanya Prokovna. I was just wondering if you knew her." Jane shook his head. “If she danced in Taulanga, it was right here —only place in town. And she didn’t—anyway, not by that name. And besides,” he grinned, “the only ladies in Taulanga live up by the Residency.” “Well. I just wondered," said Mark. He was keenly disappointed. “Was she pretty?” asked the bartender with a humorous leer. “Offhand I'd say so,” said Mark. “That settles it. then! She never danced in Taulanga. or anywhere else on Vavau. All we ever get is bats like her!” He waved a heavy paw at the half-caste girl, who continued playing her game without a single gesture to indicate that she’d heard the remark. Mark wasn’t quite ready to give up, however. “What about the other islands?” he asked, “Couldn’t she be in Nukualofa, over on Tongatabu? Or on Hapei?" “Might be in Nuku. No place on Hapei.” “Well,” said Mark, “that’s no great help!” "If you’d ask about a man. now,” said Jane, “I could likely tell you. .They’re permanent, more or less; and when they do leave, you hear about it. But dance-hall women —” he spat. “They come and go; some of ’em last and some of ’em don’t, and,” he grinned, “as a general rule, the prettier they are, the less they last!" “Well, that’s that,” said Mark. “Thanks.” He walked out of the door into the sun-baked street, and turned toward the hotel. "I ought to be darned glad,” he thought. “Not finding her is a break for me, and I’m just stubborn to refuse to recognize it. The Talbot dumbness finds its culmination in me, 1 guess."

Yet he was decidedly not glad. The picture of Vanya’s face, pale, unhappy, and breath-takingly beautiful, rose out of his memory to shatter his elaborate structure of defense. He saw her as he had seen her in his final glimpse, that moment back in distant Honolulu when the schooner had carried her slowly past the dock w here ho stood. “That stevedore did say Tonga, ho muttered. “No question about that I But he probably didn’t know what he was talking about.” But he had mentioned a name. He had mentioned the name of the schooner — what was the ship’s name, anyway? And he had mentioned the name of the owner, as well. Mark cudgeled hi s memory.

He waved a heavy paw at the half-caste girl, who continued playing her game without a single gesture to indicate she'd heard the remark.

Irish name, he thought—or was it? Peculiar nick-name, too, but peculiar sobriquets were as common in the South Seas as cocoanut palms. He frowned in the intensity of his concentration. Shields, Shane, Sheehan—a dim recollection of the sound of the name plagned him. And then, in a flash he had it. Pearly Shene! Pearly Shene's Porpoise! That was what the dockhand had said, and that, perhaps, was the clue he lacked! He quickened his pace, regardless of the blazing tropical sun. Perspiration was running down his face when he entered the dingy lobby of the Friendly House. He looked at once to see if the clerk were present, and saw him sitting lethargically behind the desk, “Did you find the lady?” asked the clerk with a grin as Mark approached. How in the name of seven devils did gossip travel like that in this town? Mark wondered irritably, but ignored the question. “Did you ever hear of a man named Pearly Shene?" he asked brusquely. The clerk nodded. “I’ve heard plenty of him!” “D’you know where he is?” “Kight! He lives at Shene’s Cove, over on Tongatabu.” Mark felt a sudden surge of elation. Perhaps his tortuous search was ended. He turned toward the stairway to his room, when the voice of the clerk halted him. “If you’re looking for a lady, you won’t find her at Pearly Shene’s place!” Tongatabu Mark entered tho native prau with misgivings; this outrigger

canoe had been the only transportation he had been able to secure The craft seemed at first glance woefully unstable, with its curious outrigger, to breast the open seas of the mighty Pacific. He knew, of course, that tne natives themselves traveled often through the island world for hundreds of miles; in the old brave legendary days, they must have traveled thousands. But the four sturdy, brownskinned, paddlers scemOd thoroughly confident. The preu skimmed easily out of Taulanga harbor; the outrigger really did hold the light craft steady. It rode up to the crest of great green rollers and slid smoothly down their far slopes, as gracefully as a roller-

coaster at Coney Island. Hapei Island dropped steadily behind him; just as steadily the low green hills of Tongatabu rose before him. The natives seemed tireless, chattering among themselves. Mark gave himself over to his meditations, which somehowhad taken on a rosier tinge than had been his recent wont. He was, long at last, approaching the end of his search. At the very least, this Shene individual could certainly tell him at what port Vanya had disembarked. Quite probably he knew exactly where she was; and just possibly, she was on Tongatabu itself. He lav comfortably back in the prau’s center, and half-dozed to the lulling “chunk” of the paddles and the slur of the water. Half-a-day, and not even a pause for a breathing space. Those natives were certainly tireless! t He opened his eyes. Tongatabu lay less than a mile ahead, and the port of Nukualofa dotted the curve of the bay to his right, three or four sailing craft lying at anchor. The natives were veering to the left, away from Nuku; as the prau paralleled the shore, Mark saw the cleared squares of pineapple plantations, and the white frame houses of the planters. The cry of beam birds, so incessant by day, and so strangely silent by night, drifted out to him, and gulls, bent on devouring small surface fish, swooned close about him. He was lazily content and strangely happy, considering the picture he had drawn to himself of Vanya. “Happy because I can finally cure myself of this blamed obscssion. he concluded.
