»potential candidates for appoint-
. ment to the Military Academy at

nary examination in August,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Sacrament” is the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon to be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
Sunday, July 11.
Golden Text: “We being many
are one bread, and one body: for
we are all partakers of that one
bread.”
Included in the Lesson-Sermon
is this verse from Matthew: “And
as they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and blessed it, and brake
it, and gave it to the disciples,
and said, Take, eat; this is my
body."
This correlative statement is
from “Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures” by Mary
Baker Eddy: “The disciples hadv
eaten, yet Jesus prayed and gave
them bread. This would have been '
foolish in a literal sense; but ini
its spiritual signification, it was
natural and beautiful. Their bread
It was the great truth of spiri-
tual being, healing the sick and
casting out error. Their Master
had explained it all before, and
now this bread was feeding and
sustaining them.”

1 “Fishing Can Lose the War . . . ”
.Mrs. Gordon Bennett of Coloradol
I Brigham, Utah, Keith Bennett and
i
attended Shelton and
Old Larrity, the bullcOok, was
reading a book. He gave a squint
,of greeting over his steel-rimmed
specs and waved his cob pipe with
a horny hand. ,
"Hearken to this here,” Larrity
said, without more ado. “It’s philos—
ophy, and worth hearin’.
“‘Perversity, paradox, inconsist-
ency, self-contradiction—all are in-
herent elements of th e nature of
man,’ Larrity read, with a tone of
relish and a pronunciation all his
own. ‘This fact is most conclusively
manifested in times of war.’
The ancient bullcock looked up,
nodding sagely as he puffed his pipe.
The atmosphere grew strong.
“I looked thim words up,” Lar—
rity said, “after hearin’ a good citi-
zen of Polewater speak his mind to
Mark Tobias, the camp push. This
citizen had drove up to go fishin’ on
the north branch without checkin’
first to find if it was closed account
fire danger. It’s been so for a month,
for the reason that fishin’ in the
woods can lose the war. Well, after
usin’ his time and gas to drive this
far, the John Citizen has to be mad
at somebody, and it’s the loggers—”
“What do you mean, fishing can
lose the war, Larrity?” I inter-
rupted.
“Fishin’ can start forest fires,”
said Larrity emphatically. “It makes
the real fishermen mad to say so,
for most are prime w00dsmen and
take due care with fire. But a few
who go fishin’ are stinkers.”
The Sins of the Minority . ‘. .
“The good citien who took um-
brage at Mark Tomias forgot his
philosophy,” Larrity went on. “He
said he was doin’ a tough war job,
he’d bought war bonds, he had a
boy in the Navy, and there was no
more danger of him startin’ a forest
fire than of tellin’ war secrets he
knew to the Japs. I’d believe that
of him and of the next eight fisher-
men who’d come along. But the
tenth could be a stinker.
“This good John Citizen sounded
on? about the desperit shortage of
lumber, and how it was because so
nany loggers were hid out at soft
jobs in the shipyards. Then he >'
turned loose on Mark, and on the
company, and wound up with a
blast at the Gov’ment, then drove
off in a cloud of dust and blue at- ‘
mosphere.
“It all sums up. Most fishermen
pertect the forests from fire. Most
loggers are in the woods, fergittin’
all else but the boys at the fronts
need wood. Most operators are mak-
in’ shift in all kinds of shortages
and troubles to do the same. Most
Gov’ment men are tryin’ hard to
win we war. But in each crowd
there are some stinkers.
“And so, when the stinkers in one g
crowd make grief for another
crowd, it’s. the curse of human
nacher that the men in the other
crowd forget philosophy and get I
full of fury and fight. And the next i
thing each gang is cursin’ the other
for the sins of the few and coverin’
up the sins of its own minority.”
The Desperate Lumber Shortage . ..
“The sorrowful thing of it all is
that the boys in the real fight are
the goats,” sighed Larrity. “They
are primed for the bi g invasion.
They’ve got to have all kinds of sup-
plies, and they won’t get them with-
out boxes and crates to ship them
in. They’ve got to have invasion
boats, great fleets of gliders, explo-
sives—all manner of fightin’ mate-
rials which can come only from tim-
her, from logs, from the mills.
“Forest fires can cut down that
supply, which is already desperit
short. So can loggers who stick to
the shipyards. So can operators 1
who give up to their troubles. So l
can the Gov'ment .men whose duty
it is to bring experienced loggers
back to the woods.
“Fishin’ can lose the war. Log-
gers stayin’ in the shipyards can ’
lose the war. Loggin’ companies
which don’t go the limit to get out
logs can lose the war. Gov’ment
men who put politics before their
bounden duty to pervide more help
for the loggers who are workin’
their heads off in the woods, ca n
lose the war. And all because of l
the 10 per cent of stinkers in every
crowd.”

Nicotine Sulphate
l Keeps Animals Out

out of the Victory Garden is by.
spraying plants with nicotine sul- '
phate. Animals don’t like the,
smell of nicotine sulphate, and
it keeps away some insects as
well.

Cherry Drying Is
Explained Here
Sour cherries should be picked
for drying when they are ripe, but
still firm. After they have been
stemmed, pitted, and have drained
for about an hour, they are ready
for drying. Those that dry too fast
get hard on the outside before
they are dry on the inside. Cor-
rectly dried cherries are leathery
and pliable like raisins.

To protect. . . . . . to grow. . . . . . to harvest. These are the three
