"Sutfstance" will be the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon In all Church of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, March
13.
The Golden Text will be, "Faith lfl
the substance of things hoped for,
che evidence of things not seen"
Among the citations which com-1
prise the Lesson-Sermon will be the
following from the Bible: "The prayer
of faith shall save the sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up; and If he
have committed sins, they shall v be
forgiven him" (Jas. 6:15).
The Lesson-Sermon also Includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Science
and Health With Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: ' The
prayer of faith shall save the . sick,'
says the Scripture. What Is this heal
ing prayer? . . . The prayer that re
forms the sinner and heals the sick
Is an absolute faith that all things
are possible to God, a spiritual
understanding of- Him', an unseiiea
love" (pp. 12, l).

you. Acts, l. 8.
Do we doubt sometimes, In mo
ments of bitterness or unrest, whether
as the Apostle Paul put It God
has shlned Into our hearts? We may
be quite unconvinced that we have
the power to love our neighbor.
But the fact that we are not con
scious of a power Is no proof that the
power Is not there. For what long
eons of time mankind lived uncon
scious of electrical power which was
capable, as we now know, of moving
trains, of lighting and heating houses,
and of performing countless other
useful acts.
What powers may still be undis
covered in our world, and In our
selves I Until we succeed In using a
power, we are not convinced that it
is there. So, only by using the power
that God has given us within, can
we convince ourselves that we really
have it.
Ing the financial status of this
school district. After much strenu
ous effort the sinking fund was re
covered from a mid-west land mort
gage company whose assets were rap
Idly "freezing." This amounted to
almost $12,000 and was applied on
the bonded indebtedness. One teach
er was dropped from the faculty last
year at a saving of almost $1000. , A
mandamus action was won In cir
cuit court ' which recovered $8600
from the high school tuition fund.
More than $300 back Interest was
also gained In this action. Because
of this court decision the district
will save annually about $500 In
interest. The school bus Is making
money for the district for It enables
students from Isolated regions to at
tend this school and makes more
regular attendance which means
more money for the school and the
expense of the bus Is not borne by
this district.

Charges Against
Farm Board Are
Labeled "Bunk"
MINNEAPOLIS, Mar. 11 Chair
man J. C Stono Thursday described
as "all bunk absolutely untrue"
statements made In Washington by
Charles Wilson, utucago livestock ex
change president, In attacking ths
federal farm board,
Wilson told the house agriculture
committee the farm board "Is work
ing hand In hand with the packers
to depress prices" and said farm board
agencies "have been, a disputing In
fluence."
Stone, here to address a dairymen's
convention, said livestock dealers at
tacking the board were angry because
of Its aid In co-operative marketing,
which they feared might damage their
business. ; ,
Referring to Wilson's assertion that
"the board has used its funds to de- ..
press the price of hogs through di
rect marketing" Stone sold:
"Direct marketing was developed
before the farm board was , ever
thought of. The only thing the Na
tional Livestock Marketing associs,
tlon has done Is to help sell products
for Its members at the best possible
prices. For that matter the associa
tion 16 not a farm board body. It Is
the producers' own setup and we are
trying to help It succeed along souno
lines as we are Instructed to do under
the law." ,..,.,

20 Pet. Salary
Cut Atlmbler
Fails to Carry
By Mrs. liny Wilson
(Observer Correspondent)
IMBLER (Special) The school
board held its regulr monthly meet
ing Monday night and all teachers
were re-elected with the exception
of Maurice Wels, who has signed a
contract to teach at Perry. Many
applications are on file for this po
sition but the selection has not
been made: A petition was presented
to the board, signed by 64 taxpayers
of the district, asking for a wage
slash of 20 per cent to lncludo all
the teachers and the Janitor. The
board had obtained Information from
64 schools of the second and third
class as to sa.ary schedules and reductions.
A motion was made by Director
Grant Tucker to reduce the salaries
of all the teachers and the janitor
10 per cent. Directors Hale and Wil
son voted against the motion. They
pointed out that Imbler's grade
teachers' salaries were about 10 per
cent higher than the minimum now
established by similar sized schools
and were In favor of establishing a
like minimum for these positions.
They said they were opposed to the
10 per cent slash on the high school
faculty for the reason that the sal
aries now paid were at a minimum
for similar positions In second and
third class districts. They said the
Smith-Hughes position was elim
inated from discussion because of a
recent agreement between the board
and Mr. Cooley, state head of voca
tional agriculture. During this con
ference Mr. Cooley agreed to a cut
of approximately $150 and promised
additional federal money for this de
partment this year. A cut of 10
per cent for the remainder of the
faculty would amount to approxi
mately $450 but only about 40 per
cent of this amount would be made
up from this district, the remainder
being made up from tuition of high
school pupils residing outside the
district. Directors Hale and Wilson
thus computed the actual saving to
the district of a 10 per cent slash
of high school teachers at about $200
and said they did not believe it
would be economy to take the risk
of being obliged to replace members
of the faculty for the small amount
Involved for the loss of only two
pupils from outside districts would
more than offset this amount.
It wus further pointed out that
Imbler school district was In the best
financial shape It has been since the
building of the school house In
1913. Last year more than $0000
was paid into this district from the
tuition of outside students and there
are eight more students this year. It
is thought by tiie board that the
school tax can bo reduced four or
five mills this year. The board in
computing expenses and Income has
concluded that even if the high
school were abolished it would result
In little or no saving to the tax
payers. A large portion of the tax
each year goes to pay off bonded in
debtedness and tne Interest thereon
which would havo to be paid In any
event and without a high school the
district would bo subjected to the
high school tuition tax. They be
lieve it to be to the interest of the
taxpayers as well as the patrons of
the school to maintain the present
high standard and not Jeopardize the
thousands now received from the
high school tuition fund by the em
ployment of an Inferior faculty.
They further state that If consolida
tion can be brought about or the
establishment of the county unit
system it would bring real relief to
the overburdened taxpayers.
Some minor reductions were made
in the salaries of the high school
staff and approximately 10 per cent
In the salaries of grade teachers.
Complaints were also mode to the
board by some taxpayers who thought
the district could noo alioru tne ex
pense of athletics. The board stated
that all the athletic teams were self
supporting and that if athletics were
abolished the loss of patronage would
result in higher taxes.
Several things have been accom
plished during the past year affect-
