LO O K TO TH E F U TU R E That Nyssa will have a subway under the rail road tracks is an assured fact. Just how soon is yet not known— some say next year— others, not until 1939. Regardless o f the year that this subway is to be constructed, there is one thing that the citi zen o f Nyssa should consider. There is some discussion, mostly from outside sources, that the logical place for the subway is north o f Main street. Let us look at this suggestion and see what may be the outcome o f such a proposition. By moving the subway o ff Main street all traffic would be going thru our residential section. A section in which there will be children plaving in the street. Persons driving from Portland ( i f their destination is Boise) will be at the end o f a land drive— tired, and anxious to reach the end o f their journey. The result? Speed— far in excess of safe driving— children crippled, or worse yet killed. Would that be worth the sav ing o f perhaps not quite a block of property? Secondly there is the matter o f the money that people have invested in buildings on Main Street. What is to happen to them if traffic is diverted to other parts o f the city? And let us not fool ourselves— traffic DOES help build a city. Millions of dollars are spent each year to bring tourists thru states, counties, cities and towns. Keep ths subway on Main street where it be longs. + G AM B LIN G IS S T IL L TH E ISSUE With the recent calling out of committee, by the senate, Of the so-called farm bill, it may be well for us to take a look at what is being said by senators in support and opposition of it. Every fanner in the country knows that one o f the worst features o f marketing his crops is the very prevalent evil o f gambling. W e have mentioned this trouble before in our editorials. W e again make the statement that if the gov ernment is reallv concerned with the plight of the farmer, it will go a long way toward the sol ution o f the problem by stopping the gambling in farm products by persons who do not know w’hat a bushel of wheat is except a chance to bet that the price will go down or up. It is not our intention to leave the thought that we are opposed to some sort o f crop regu lation. But we have not reached the point in this country, we hope, that necessitates provi sions for throwing a man in jail because he may perhaps make an nonest mistake, in the filing o f the numerous reports that will be necessary under the new bdl. T o get back to what is going on in the dis cussions on the floor o f the senate. One point was emphathized, that will bear out the thoughts we are trying to get over when it was said that many witnesses at the hearings on the farm bill felt that gambling and speculating in farm commod ities in the boards of trade and had an undue influence upon the market price. One farmer after another demanded outright that central market speculating in our farm products where these commodities are .sold short should be abol ished. Can anyone refute the fact that "gam b ling and speculating in farm commodities" does not have an "undue influence upon the market price” ? What about the potatoes that were raised in this section o f the country last summer? How- much did the farmer get? Potatoes were as low as fifty cents per hundred. What did the con sumer pay? $1.10 per hundred. What happened to that “ spread" between farmer and consumer? That “ spread” represents over a hundred per cent o f the money the farmers received for his summers work. Something is radically wrong when such a condition exists in one of the country’s major industries. If our legislators really want to help the farmer, it seems that this “ gambling and speculation in farm commodi ties” should be abolished. Sunday school 10:00. Morning Worship 11:00.

Wednesday prayer meeting meets • Two Minute Sermons By K. A. Eckleberger Kingman Kolony Community Church JESUS O UR JU S TIF IE R T ext: Romans 3:9-31 My friends .In the first part of my text we find that both Jew and Gentile, are all under sin. and “ there Is none righteous, no not one." From the beginning It Is known that man has a sinful nature, but with the matchless love of God for His People, He could not bear this awful nature of sin, so He gave the Ten Commandments to Moses for His people to obey. Especially, the law was given that "every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become builty before God.” Take heed to that T h a t every mouth may be stopped." W hat! That every sinful man's mouth may be stopped and “all the world become guilty before God." This Implies that every person on this world Is to stand before God and say, " I am guilty of sin.” This Is what the law was given for. but was there ever a man able to do this In his own strength? No. From the time the law was given, down today, we know that Israel has not been able to do that because they are too weak. I t Is the same with the Gentiles in the past and and In the United States, you could today. In this room. In this state, not find one who Is able to keep the law of God perfectly In his own energy and stand before the Judg ment seat of God and say. “ I am not guilty o f any form of sin." Therefore, as we read the twenty- third verse “ all have sinned and come short o f the glory of God.” Yes, we have all sinned, but “ thanks be to G od" He has opened the door tor those who want to come on For In the twenty-fourth verse we read "Being Justified freely by his grace through the redemption that Is In Christ Jesus.” So when we first that we are Justified. What does come to door of Ood. we are told that men? What It Is? Justified from what? I f you will remember the twenty-third verse tells us that, "all have sinned.” That Is It! W e are all sinners, but we shall all be treat ed, as penitent sinners, as having not sinned. That's what it means "Being Justified " Our sins that were shall be acted upon as not ever having been, do you see? Now you may ask. "How can we be justified? Wear* Justified free ly "B y his grace," by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His blood, the precious blood of Christ. With the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and wthout spot." Bo Jesus is Our Justlfler. Odor* Easily Deter tee No sense Is so sensitive as the sense of smell, according to Dr. Ivor Griffith, writing in the American Journal of Pharmacy, publication of the Philadelphia College of Phar macy and Science. He says cam phor can be detected in a dilution of one part in 400.000; musk one in *,000,000, and vanilla one in 10.000.- 000.

The opinions expressed may or may not agree with the policy of The Gate City Jounral. Everybody knows the story cf Robinson Crusoe, how he was stranded on an island with only a goat, a parrot and a black man as his companions, and how badly he wanted to get o ff that island. But most people do not know that it was advertising that got him off. He had only a ragged shirt with which to do his advertising, but he stuck it on a pole, planted the pole In the beach and waited. He didn’t get dis couraged when no one came the first day—no good advertiser does. But he kept advertising his predi cament by means of that old shirt waving in the air—and finally he got results. I f Robinson Crusoe with one old shirt could reach the peo ple he sought, hew much more easy It is for the merchants In this terri tory to reach the people they want to sell goods to through the col umns of a modem, heme-town news- spaper?
