A prominent judge, crossing the

was suffering from seasickness. He
asked, “Can I help you in any way?”
The lawyer replied, “Yes, please

The train came to a sudden grind-
ing stop, causing the passengers to
jump. “What has happened, conduc-
tor?” cried a nervous old lady.
“Nothing much. . . . We ran over
a cow.”
“Was it on the track?”
“No,” replied the disgusted con-
ductor, “we chased it into a barn.”
He—“When will you ever stop
saying no to everything I ask?”
She—“Ask for your hat. Go ahead,
just ask for it.”

Bran, slightly dampened, thrown

cleaning. This is a good way to use
up that old package of all-bran

eat.

As the formulation of trade agree-
ments stepped ahead, the companion
legislation designed to stimulate pur-
chasing power through $3,000,000,-
000 of public works moved apace un-
der the direction of Col. Donald H.
Sawyer, the administrator, and Sec-
retary Ickes.
The Treasury meantime was gath-
ering cash to start the public con-
struction program, having amassed
$1,008,099,817 in its general fund on
June 17.
The fund was accumulated through
the sale on June 15 of $1,083,000,-
000 of Treasury certificates, from
which a balance of nearly $600,000,-
000 was left after maturing debts
I and other expenses had been paid.
to_ Another portion of the fund came
from income taxes, which returned
$104,281,178 for the month, only
$14,000,000 less than the same month
a year ago.
WASHINGTON.—A direct appeal
to industries to speed their agree-
ments for rehabilitation through in-
creased wages and stabilized work-
ing hours, and not to increase prices,
at least for the present, was made
today by Hugh S. Johnson, head of
the national recovery administration.
Business leaders were told frank-
ly by Johnson that initiative in the
program for restoring industry rests
upon their enterprise and that his or-
ganization was ready 1
proposed codes of fair competition as
soon as they were prepared and sub-
mitted.
At the same time he called pointed
attention to the penalties in the re-
covery legislation that are applicable
to industries that fail to come for-
ward voluntarily with trade agree-
ments.
A few hours later he said at his
first press conference that the 10
major industries of the country were
rapidly putting into shape for pres-
entation trade agreements designed
to raise the wages of millions of men
and spread employment by setting a
maximum hour limit. The textile in-
dustry, which has already presented
its code, upon which hearings are to
begin June 27 under the direction of
W. L. Allen, a co-ordinator, was said
by Johnson to have done “a beautiful
job.”
The administrator said he would
appeal straight from the shoulder for
no increase in prices that would off-
set the results of increased wages.
“We are going to ask something
in the nature of an armistice on in-
creased capacity and prices until we
get this thing started,” he said.
“You can’t go out and make any
hard and fast rules or force people,
but we are going to appeal very

JOSHUA
Lesson for July 2nd. Joshua 1:1-9.
Golden Text: Joshua 1:9.
The third quarter of lessons intro-
duces us to some early leaders of the
Old Testament period. The first of
these is Joshua. He is not, obviously,
one of the supreme figures in the
Bible gallery of portraits. Neverthe-
less he is a great soul who took a
leading part in the stirring events of
a critical period. He was one of the
two older men who were permitted to
enter the promised land. He was
afraid neither of the giants in
Canaan, nor of the fickle-hearted
folk in the ranks of the children of
God who yearned after the flesh
pots of Egypt.
In these days of fear and distress,
people sometimes cry, “Oh for a
Moses to lead us through the wilder-
ness!” But what we need most of all
is a Joshua to lead us out of the
wilderness.
Now note that Joshua always obey-
ed the divine command. He was never
guilty, like Moses, of disobedience.
Dr. Matheson calls Joshua a prosaic
man, that is, a subordinate who car-
ried out the instructions of his chief.
God did the planning, and Joshua, a
willing tool, fulfilled the divine de-
cisions, “Arise, go over this Jordan,”
said the Lord, and Joshua and the
people at once crossed the famous
river into the fail’ land of their
dreams. “See, I have given into
thine hand Jericho,” again cried the
Lord, and this Canaanite stronghold
soon fell, after a short seige. In both
cases it is God who does the real
work. He it was who separated the I
Jordan waters so that the people
passed over on dry ground. And it
was He who caused the wall of Jeri-
cho to fall down flat. Joshua was
simply the obedient agent of his God.
And later, at Gideon, when Joshua
faced the test of a crucial battle, it is
the Lord who determined the victory,
first by sending a disastrous hail
storm, and then by halting the sun
and moon. “The Lord fought for
Israel,” as the narrative says. So
Joshua, an obedient servant, with the
strength and courage proclaimed by
our Golden Text, fought under God.
It is the general opinion that HIGHER PRICE
LEVELS in all lines will prevail for a long time to
come.
A fine robust soldier, an Irishman,
after serving Uncle Sam for some
time became greatly reduced in
weight, owing to exposure and scanty
rations, until he got leave of absence
to go home and recuperate. He ar-
rived at his home station looking very
much of a wreck. Just as he stepped
off the train one of his old friends
rushed up to him and said, “Well,
well, Pat, I am glad to see you’re
back from the front.”
“Begoira, I knew I was getting
thin, but I never thought you could
see that much.”
