Materialism

The world is dying of materialism. Men have exploited everything. They have exploited every material resource' and they have exploitgd God. Materialism must give way to idealism. Look for glory in man; it is there. Bring out the best, and the worst will disappear. First of all you must find your inspiration in God, without which you can do nothing.-Dr. Clifton Macon.

ALIBI f wonder whether you have heard Of that, oh, so convenient word.

That lazy salesman's battle-cry' The labor-saving alibi.

When many days and weeks go by Without an order-alibi.

And whin you are a total loss, An alibi may soothe your boss.

Just alibi your way through lifeIt may work even on your wife.

But when you're passing, lonely, sore, An old man through the poorhouse door

When all'the world has passed you byWhat use will be an alibi?

Advice To A Young Farmer

By R.P. T. Coffin

Build your house upon a rise, Make friends with your'arms and thighs.

Dig your spring below a pine, Plant a morning-glory vine.

Have yo.ur bedroom face the dawn, Have windows with no curtains on. '

Though fields lie ready cleared a score, Cut thickets down and make one more.

Sleep an hour in the sun, Talk to your cows when milking's done.

By all that's good, be much alone, Use no man's plow-horse but your own.

Plow as soon as hylas peep, Mow before the crickets cheep.

Never hope to rise in life, Until you have brought home your wife.

Never trust your corn to grow Before you have a son or so.

There is no rain to match a mother, Sons and seeds help on each other.

Looks to the Industrial Future

Washington, Dec. 7.-The Code Authority Organization Committee recently established by the N.R.A. is considered as the chief approach of the N.R.A. to the permanent organization of industry in the future under governmental supervision.

The members of this committee as announced by the National Recovery Administrator, are R. W. Lea, Chairman; Dr. Leo Wolman, Labor Advisory Board; Louis Kirstein, Industrial Advisory Board; Dr. Wilson Comp- ton, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Jrade Association Division; Blackwell Smith, Legal Division; Franklin S. Pollak, Compliance Division. They will have the benefit of advice from the following government of_ ficers: Edward McGrady, Department of Labor; Judge Harold Stephens, Department of Justice; Colonel b. H. March, Federal Trade Commission; Edwin B. George, Trade Association Section, Department of Commerce.

This Committee is charged with the duty of submitting model administrative provisions for future codes, analyzing administrative provisions in existing codes and, if necessary, submit proposed modificatioris of such provisions. The committee will consider and advise on plans proposed for Code Authority and trade association organization for industrial self-government. It will also advise and assist deputy administrators in their Code organization work and consider and advise regarding coordinating the plans of industry for Code administration with those of the N.R.A.

While the definition of the authority of this committee does not directly refer to what may come after the Na_ tional Industrial Recovery Act expires, it is believed by all who are in close touch with the N.R.A. that the Code Authority Organization Committee will gradually shape the permanent plans that will be eventually submitted to Congress by the Government for industrial self-government under public supervision, which is expected to evolve from the present experience'under the N.I.R.A.
