of the new legislation, which he said should be designed for price stabiiization, an _ ever normal granary supply, and protection of both farmer and consumer against uadue price fluctuations.

Expressing the hope that the new program will be financed by sound fiscal methods, President Reosevelu added:

“It is, of course, especially import ant that any new_ legislation should not unbalance the expected balancing of the budget.

“In other words, no additional federal expenditures from the general fund of ‘the treasury should he made over and above existing planned expenditures.

The federal government has been spending around $500,000,000 annnal ly for the soil conservation nrog;'am. which President Roosevelt said should be includued in the new farm legislation. : Emphasizing his desire .gainst unbudgeted items, the president said: “The only exception to this would be the incurring of additional obigations on the part of the treasury, backed 100 per cent by additioral receipts from new taxes. : | “In other words, what ever goes out must be balanced by an ejulvalent amount coming in. To my mind the purposes of the propossil aew ilegislation and the existing.eonser‘i'vation program are wholly consistent with each other and can be :re'lated ogether to the benefit of agrioultu% and the nation.™ . Joned, said the president's letter ;“clearly outlines: essential principles in reference to farm legislation.” Jones said he-was confident that a bill along the suggested lines would be ready for consideration in the ;early part of the session. | President Roosevelt reiterated in _his letter a necessity for speed on :the legislation so as to benefit i fTarmers during the 1938 s=ason. | Mr. Roosevelt said that e.cceptif)m ‘ally favorable weather throughout “the country and falling prices have 'made the commodity surplus prol. lem acute.

| *""ne new national farm act shoull 'stfoguard farmers’ income as wel” a 3 their soil fertility,” President Roos»‘velt said. “It should provide for ctoraze of reserve food supplies in :an ¢ver normal granary so that if ~severe and widespread icought reIcu;‘s consumers will be assvred of ‘inore adequate suppliecs with (ess ,t'rasnc increases ‘in price than wouid _otherwise be the case. : “It should provide for control of _surpluses when and if necessary but ‘at the same time it should preserve 'the export markets that still are open 'to our farmers. i “It should protect both farmers ‘and consumers against extreme ups "and downs in the prices of farm products. It should be financed by sound fiscal methods. T.olcal admin~ istration should be kept in the farmers’ hands. *I wish to emphasize especlally that any price stabilizing features through loans or other devices should be reinforced: by -effective provisions against the piling up of unmanageable supplies..”

Christian Science Servives

“Probation after Death” was the subject of the Lesson-Scrmon in alt Churches of Christ, Scientist on Sunday, October 24. £ The Golden Text was: ‘He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew “4: 12). Among the citations which compriced the Lesson-Sermon was the fcliowing from the Bibl2: “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh ana hirod cannot inherit the kiagdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not al! sleep, but we shall all be exchanged, In a mow ment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall ba raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall bz brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (I Corinthians 15: 50-52, 54). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Sci. ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Existence continues to be a beliet of corporeal sense until the Science of being is reached. Error brings its own self-destruction both here and iherea.fter. for mortal mind creates its own physical conditions. Death ‘Wwill occur on the next plane of existence as on this, until the spiritual ‘understanding of Life is reached” !(p. 77). ‘“When advanced to spiritual being and the understanding of God, man can no longer commune with matter; neither can he return to it, any more than a tree can return to its seed. Neither wii man seem’ to be corporéal, but he will be an individual consciousness, charac. terized by the divine Spirit as idea, not matter” (p. 76).

Preparations For Winter Being Made

Preparations for the maintenance of Indiana’s state highway system during the winter months when snow and ice slow up the movement of traffic, have been started by the maintenance division of the state highway commission, it was reported by Earl Crawford, chairman. During recent weeks snow plows and other equipment used in the re. moval of snow and ice from the pave ment, and snow fence which is erected in adjoining fields to checks the drifting of snow on the pavement, have been undergoing a thorough inspection and overhauling. As a means of increasing the efficiency of old-type snow plows, a number of them are being fitted with hydraulic controls such as are a part of standard equipment on the newer models. The state highway commission has 500 snow plows and 359 graders for use in cleaning the pavement after snow storms or the formation of ice. This equipment is distributed among the 36 state highway sub-district offices, with the major part in the Fort Wayne, LaPorte and Crawfordsville districts where normal snowfall is heavier than in the Seymour, Green field and Vincennes districts.
