CLIPPING THE BIBLE.
There is another class. It is quite
ashlonable for people to say, “yej, j
believe the Bible, but not the
mpernatural. I believe everything'
hat corresponds with this reason of
nine.” They go on reading the
llble with a penknife, cutting out
Ills and that. Now, if I have a right j
o cut out a certain portion of the '
llble, i don’t know why one of my
rlends has not a right to cut out!
mother part, and so on. You would j
iave a queer kind of Bible If every
body cut out what he wanted to. Ev
»ry liar would cut everything about
ylng; every drunkard would be cut-
Ing out what he didn’t like. Once
i gentleman took his Bible around to
als minister and said, ‘‘That is your
Bible.” "Why do you call it my
Bible?” said the minister.” "Well.”
replied the gentleman, “I have been
lifting under you preaching for five
years and when you said that a thing
in the bible was not authentic, I
jut it out.” He had about a third of
the B|ble cut out; all of Job, ail of
Ecclesiastes and Revelation, and a
good deal besides. The minister
wanted him to leave the Bible with
him. He didn’t want the rest of ills
congregation to see it. But the man
jaid, “O, no! I have the covers left,
and I will hold on to them;” and off
he went holding on to the covers. If
you believe what some men preach,
you would have nothing but the cov
ers left in a few' months. I have of
ten said, that, If I am going to throw
away the Bible, I will throw It all
Into the fire at once. There is no
need of waiting live years to do what
you can do as well at once. I have
yet to find a man who begins to hick
at the Bible that does not pick It all
too pieces in a little A minis
ter whom I met a while ago said to
me, "well, I have given up preaching
except out of the four gospels, I have
given up all of the epistles, and all
the old testiment; and I do not know
why I cannot go to the fountain head
and preach as Paul did. I believe
| tiie gospels and all there is that is
j authentic.” It was not long before
, ho gave up the four gospels, and fi
lially guve up the minlstery. He
(gave up the Bible and God gave him
up. Now he careful that your Bible
doesn’t read this way; as It says in
1 11 Cor. 4: 3. “But, if your gospel be
'lid, it is hid to them that are lost.
BEANS TO THE FRONT.
Pinto beans now seem to be the
big factor in making up the loss in
wheat production in Colorado. Ac
cording to fairly reliable estimates
made by the seed committee of the
Ways and Means Committee at Den
ver the acreage devoted to beans in
Colorado this year will reach 125,000
acres, as against 38,000 acres in 1910
This would make one row of beans
345,600 miles long. Some row!

WAR LOANS.
Great Britain’s estimated wealth
is 885,000,000,000; she lias made
three great loans since the com
mencement of the war, aggregating
$10,000,000,000. Her last loan was
for 8487,000,000, which was the
greatest single loan ever floated in
the history of the world. It was
taken up In 30 days. $5,289,000 in
dividuals subscribing to the loan
One person in every 11 inhabitants
of the United Kingdom subscribed to
this loan, and the average subscrip
tion was $950, though a great many
subscWbers took only £l, or about
$5. The great number of subscri
bers to tliin loan is pointed out as
evidence of the patriotism of the
British people.
Germany’s wealth is estimated at
$80,000,000,000. Germany lias put
out five loans since the commence
ment of the war, aggregating sll,-
750,000,000. In Germany’s latest
j loan 1 person in 13 of the population
is reported to have subscribed, and
the average amount taken by each
subscriber was S7OO.
Taking into consideration these
figures, the $5,000,000,000 loan of
tlie United States with an estimated
wealth of $220,000,000,000 and a
population of over 100,000,000 seems
almost small. With a wealth nearly
three times as great as that of Great
Britain it is trying to borrow less
than one-half of what Great Britain
lias borrowed. With a population
one and one-linlf times as largo as
that of Germany our loan is much
less than half of the amount that
Germany has borrowed.
America’s liberty loan is less than
one-sixth of the bank deposits in our
country. An ordinary borrower does
not think he is ruining himself when
he borrows 4 0 per cent of the value
of Ills property. The United States
is borrowing less than 3 per cent of
its wealth.
MONEY TO BE SPENT IN
UNITED STATES.
‘‘The meafning and importance of
that to the subscribers to the liberty
loan is clear. The United State is not
asking for subscriptions to a $5,000,
000,000 bond Issue to be sent out of
the country. Every dollar is to re
main here and while we are aiding
our allies by loaning funds to them
I at a lower interest than they could
get otherwise, we are aiding our
selves by providing new demands up
; pon all of our Industries. That means
; increased demands for labor, more
1 requirements in raw material and a
greater market for food products.
"The Chamber of Commerce of the
United Stall's has pointed out to the
merchants and manufacturers how
they may become leaders in the suc
. css of the liberty loan, by making it
; possible for their employees to pur
chase the bonds by small weekly pay
ments. The importance of such serv-
I ice to millions of employees wly>
I might not otherwise be enabled to
i purchase liberty loan bonds can not
I be overestimated. This is a national

REPORTS PEACE IN CHIHUAHUA.
The Department of States makes
the following announcement:
The American counsul at Juarez
reports in a telegram to the Depart
ment of State that military activity
is quite a thing of the past in the
State of Chihuahua. The few ban
dits under arms are asking for am
nesty. A general attempt at recon
struction seems to have taken hold of
all Mexicans.
A number of refugee Americans are
making trips into Mexico for the pur
pose of investigating conditions. Ful
ly 50 per cent of the unemployed and
destitute Mexicans have disappeared
from El Paso and Juarez within the
last month. A majority have re
turned to their homes in Mexico.
Food is being shipped south from El
Paso in large quantities.
USE OF SEIZED GERMAN SHIPS.
Secretary Rcdfleld, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, announces:
"I am in receipt of advices from
the United States Shipping Board, in
answer to my recent letter suggest
ing the use of some of the former
German vessals in the Philippines to
bring hemp to this country, that this
will bp done. There are large quan
tities of hemp In the Philippines, and
the diversion of vessels to munitions
and freight carrying to belligerent
nations lias curtailed the normal out
flow of this necessary commodity. It
is needed for use in the manufacture
of binder ffcine, which will shortly
be in great demand in harvesting the
grain crops.
"Three former German steamships
have cargoes engaged and will be
used to bring quantities of hemp.
Three more large former German ves
sels are undergoing repairs and will
shortly be available for cargoes, prin
cipally of hemp, to the United States.
There are also other vessels available'
which will be utilized to relieve the
hinder-twine situation to the end
that the harvesting of the grain crops
may proceed without interruption.”
WATCH FOR CUT WORMS—
SEASON IS HERE.
It is about time for the appearance
of cutworms in alfalfa fields and gar
dens, anil we may expect no little
damage from them.
Under ordinary conditions, preven
tion is the best remedy. This may be
easily accomplished by plowing, disc
ing or harrowing late in the fall or
early in the spring.
Cutworm damage may be prevent
ed in gardens by placing a piece of
stiff paper in the form'of a cylinder
about the plant, allowing the upper
edge to extend at least two Inches
above the surface of the ground. In
areas where the worms are concen
trated, an application of arsenical
bait will prove very effective. A
good formula is as follows:
Paris green Vfclb.
Bran 50 lbs.
Syrup i q i
Water. 2 gals.
Mix, while dry, the paris greer. and
brand until an even color 1b attained.
Then stir in the syrup and the water,
making a crumbly, but not sloppy, j
mash. Scatter this mixture thinly
over the infested areas late in the
afternoon or early evening. The
amount to he used will vary in ac
•ordance with the severity of the at
tack. Twenty-five pounds will be,
in all probability, sufficient to cover
in acre.—Chas. It. Jones, Colorado

SAVE EGGS NOW.
A great many households discover
'd 1 ist fell and winter that they were
■f the mercy of almost prohibitive
prices if they continued to use eggs
v.i an article of food.
This condition is bound to recur
next winter. The precaution neces
sary is to preserve enough eggs for
home use, and do it now, when the
price is down and the quality is good,
foil are more certain of gathering
a fresh product at this season of the
year than if you wait until the sum
mer months.
One of the most successful meth
ods yet devised for preserving eggs is
by the use of water glass (soluble
sodium silicate). When eggs are to
ho kept for a period of eight or nine
months, the formula recommended
is one pert water glass to nine parts
of water. If eggs are to be kept only
i short time, a one-to-fifteen solu
tion will prove satisfactory. The
water used should be* boiled of dis
tilled to remove all impurities, and
cooled before making up the mixture.
Water glass secured from a local
druggist costs about 50 cents a quart
and if used in the formula one-to
nine will preserve approximately 20
dozen eggs. Glazed earthenware
jars make the best containers. They
can he left uncovered in a cool cellar,
providing there are at least two In
dies of the solution over the top layer
of eggs. A good plan is to make up
Hie solution and add the eggs as they
are gotten each day until the jar is
full. — C. S. Anderson, Colorado Agri
