Lower-priced land—lower overhead —lower taxes and operating costs—may be the solution of your problem. Low-Priced Land-the Secret Virgin prairie land at 115 to S3O an acre, with long terms. if you want them, close to railways and market towns, schools, churches, telephones, highways—these vast virgin praines offer you the last great farm opportunity. The fortunes of the United States were built on low-priced land. Those lands are now dea —perhaps beyond your reach—but Canada's lands are still low-priced.

But xvhen there Is a made-up mind about the destination the life will go on despite the troubles, and time, which is a w’onderful softener and mellower, will in the end rob the worst of their sting and make the little irritating ones seem as nothing at all. — John Blake in the Chicago Dally Tribune.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D.. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright. 1922, Western Newspaper Unton. LESSON FOR MARCH 4 JESUS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Luke 20:19-26 ; 21:1-4, GOLDEN TEXT—Render therefore unto Caes r the things which be Caesar's and unto God tlie tilings which be God's. — Luke 20:25. REFERENCE MATERI AL—Matt. 7:2829; laa. 28:14-20; Acts 4:7-22; Rom. 13:1-7. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Gift That Pleased Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Widow and Her Two Mites. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jesus the Fearless Teacher. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Jesus Answering His Opposers. The popularity of Jesus after the triumphal entry greatly troubled the rulers of Israel. He met their wicked challenge MS to his authority in such a skillful way as to place them under condemnation for their unbelief. This condition was accentuated by the parable of the householder. I. The Question of Paying Tribute (20:19-26). 1. Spies Sent to Entrap Jesus (v. 20). The rulers were too cowardly to do this themselves, so they employed underlings to do their mean work while they hid away. This diabolical method is employed today in political and religious life. Many times questions ure raised under the guise of sincerity, when the real purpose is to do mischief. 2. Wicked Flattery (v. 21). They complimented His truthful teaching. Uis impartiality and courage. They certified to His faithfulness even to tiiat extent that He would face Caesar himself. This compliment was true, though insincerely given. Back of this ihiltery was the base purpose to destroy Jesus. Many today praise to the face in order to Htub in the back. 3. The Cunning Question (vv. 2220). ‘‘ls it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?" At this time the Jews were galling under the yoke of the Roman government. To have answered this question either by “yes" or “no" would have Involved difficulties. To have answered “yes," would have conveyed the Impression of endorsing ail that the Roman government did. To have answered, “no,'' would have at once brought trim Into conflict with the government. It is not always an easy matter for u Christian to determine his right relation to civil government. Christ s reply to this question properly understood ami applied is the final wor<l on the subject. Until the civil authorities demand that which is a violation of God’s law we are bound to render unto them obedience. Render unto Caesar the things due within the realm of the rights of government. But while Christ’s answer sets forth their duties to civil authorities He used the occasion to impress upon them the duties due to God. Render unto God the things that are God’s. Man bears the image of God. Therefore he should honor and serve Him. Sime he enjoy's God’s protection and care. It is his duty to own allegiance to Him. yield his life to Him in service. worship and praise. Everyone who enjoys the benefits of civil government is obliged to pay the taxes which are necessary for the support of that government. and everyone who receives God's favor is placed qnder a like obligation unto Him. 11. Jesus' Estimate of Gifts (21:1-4). 1. Jesus Watching the People Giving (v. 1). He was greatly interested in observing the way the people cast their gifts into the treasury. Perhaps there is more vital index to one’s character titan the way he behaves before the Lord's treasury. Jesus sits over against every treasury and knows every dollar east into it. He knows how the dollars come and how they go. No trickcry can deceive Him. He not only knows this in the church, but He knows it in the business world. 2. The Rich Gave of Titeir Abundance (vv. 1-4). They, no doubt, gave much, but in proportion to what they had left their gifts were small. The size of the gift is not primarily to be measured by how much it is, but how much has the giver left. 3. A Widow Gave Two Mites (vv. 2-4). In value a mite was less than a cent. Though the two coins were of small value themselves, they represented her all —not merely her surplus, but her living. I.et no one deceive himself by pretending to give the widow’s mite, for to give the widows mite means to give everything. 4. Jesus’ Verdict (vv. 3-4). He declared that she had given more than they all. Jesus looks into the heart and estimates our gifts not by their size but by the motives prompting them. God’s Guardian Hand. “A son, who had left his father in the morning, returned at night to tell him that lie had been most wonderfully’ preserved; for his horse had thrown him, and but for Gad’s good guardian hand, he ha<l certainly been killed. His father replied that he had met with a yet more remarkable providence and had still more reason to praise God. When the son’s curiosity was wound up to the highest pitch, the father added. 'I have traveled the livelong day, preserved from all alarm or accident xx hatever.’ ” Magnanimity. Pyramids, archer obelisks, were but the irregularities of vain glory, and wild enormities of ancient magnanimity. But the most magnanimous resolution rests in the Christian religion, which trampieth upon pride and sits on the neck of ambition, humbly pursuing that infallible perpetuity unto xvhich all others must diminish •heir diameters and be poorly seen in he angles of contingency. —Sh I’bomas Browne, Seventeenth Centurv

MADE COURTROOM OF SALOON Innumerable Good Stories of Character Once Well Known Throughout Western Texas. Roy Bean was the greatest joke (and one of the greatest tragedies at times) that western Texas had ever known. He was a saloon man. And he “held court" In his saloon and “court” sessions were opened and adjourned at least 20 times each day. It was not considered “jood form" to pull a gun In “Roy Bean’s place.” For Instance: A tourist from the East stepped off the train one day, went into “Bean’s Place” and ordered a bottle of beer (ordinarily cost 50 cents) and laid a S2O gold piece on the bar to pay for It. Bean politely pocketed the S2O and when the stranger asked for his “change” and, on being denied, started an argument, oh boy I Roy Bean declared, “court's In session” and filed the man $19.50 for disturbing the peace.—Adventure Magazine. DYED HER BABY’S COAT, A SKIRT AND CURTAINS WITH “DIAMOND DYES” Each package of “Diamond Dyes” contains directions so simple any woman can dye or tint her old, worn, faded things new. Even if she has never dyed before, she can put a new, rich color into shabby skirts, dresses, waists, coats, stockings, sweaters, coverings, draperies, hangings, everything. Buv Diamond Dyes—no other kind—then perfect home dyeing is guaranteed. Just tell your druggist whether the material you wish to dye is wool or silk, or whether it is linen, cotton, or mixed goods. Diamond Dyes never streak, apot, fade or run.—Advertisement. ‘UPSTAIRS’ HAD TWO APPEALS But of Course the First One Wai the Stronger in Little Elizabeth’s Heart. Although but four years old. Elizabeth, a minister’s daughter, had not been considered two ; oung for careful Instruction In spiritual matters and though yet “of the earth earthy,” fully appreciated the interest of her parents in her spiritual growth. One day she was called downstairs from an absorbing ninminr with her toys by her mother, xvho insisted that she should not go back until little brother had finished his nnp. “But, mother, may I go and get just one doll?” “Yes, If you can get It quietly." A few minutes intermission, the doll Is procured and Elizabeth rushes Into tier mother's arms smiling radiantly. “Mother,” she says, “every time I go upstairs the Lord comes into my heart.” With husky voice nnd moist eyes the mother clasps her child in her arms. “Now, mother,” said Elizabeth, “may I go upstairs and nlay?"- Judge.

Why Farmers are Turning to Jor Economical Tranipartcticn • In 1922 Chevrolet jumped from seventh to second place in sales of all cars, and to first place in sales of fully equipped modem cars. Purchases by farmers were the chief factor in this remarkable development. Farmers want automobiles not only of low first price, but also of low later cost for operation and maintenance. They want room, comfort, and the ability to stand up under hard conditions. They find that Chevrolet, fully equipped as sold, is the best value per dollar in the low-priced field, and neighbors tell them it costs less per mile to operate. Prices F. O. B.

Unusual to a Tenderfoot’s Ears. A tali, angular, high-booted, longhaired resident of Oklahoma stepped into a drug store in Oklahoma City one night during the inaugural barbecue. “Say, podner, d’ye happen to know whurat is the Happy Huntin’ Groun’ roomin'house? I’m kinda tuckered out, and thought I’d sleep a leetle.” No one in the store could recall such a place as mentioned by the visitor. The Oklahoman backed up to a stove, stood with his hands stretched behind him and teetering back and forth in a heel-to-toe movement he said to anyone who cared to listen: “By Gad, she’s cold out t’night, ez a well digger’s foot.” —Kansas City Star.

Pianos for the Japanese. The piano is becoming a part of the Japanese household equipment, as i it has become the favorite instrument with the younger element as well as other instruments from the western countries. The koto, which is the national harp, and the samisen have not been entirely abandoned, but as the younger natives come along they ! are showing a marked preference for the imported musical instruments. This is of course making a revolution in the character of the Japanese music. Good Time Coming. Grandma had come from her distant home to inspect the new baby.
