Hut the greed of the money changers aroused in Him an anger beyond control, so that He took a whip of cords and drove them out of the Temple. All life must devolep ever upward to new and better forms. The human race, with its spark of Divinity, responds surely to this Divine law. The old dies and gives place to the new. llut all progress is subject to eternal law. Eternal law is not touched by age. Of such are the words of Christ and the prophets. They cannot die, but if we do not learn and obey them, we must surely die. A FABLE. N. D. A. MEMBERS INVITED TO FARMERS Potcerful Than Words MUST BE PRODUCERS More Actions Said a wise old bee at the close ot day, this colony business doesnt pay. I put my honey in that old hive that others may eat and live and thrive; and I do more work in a day, by gee, than some of the other fellows do in three. I toil and worry and save and hoard, and all I get ia my room ana board. Its me for a hive I can run myself, and me tor the sweet of my hard earned pelf. So the old bee flew to a meadow lone and started a business of his own. He gave no thought to the bussing elan, but all intent on his selfish plan ha lived the life of a hermit free Ah, this ia great, aaid the wise old bee. But the summer waned and the days grew drear, and the lone bee waited as he opped a tear; for the varmints gobbled his little store and his wax iyed out and his heart was sore, so winged his way to the old home band, and took hia meals at the Helping Hand. Alone, opr work is of little worth; together we are the lords of earth; so its all for each and its each for all united stand, or divided fall. UNION CONVENTION Recently an N. D .A. member of the particular prominence observing undifficulty in getting someone to load a car of coal doffed his suit, donned work clothes and proceeded to unload the coal himself. We quote the following characteristic statement from a speech which If you people he made last May: of the N. D. A think we are going to ride, into prosperity on a Hand Wagon you are mistaken. If we get prosperity, we must work for it. We think the above precept and example merits the serious consideration of all our members. Mr. W. A. Glad, in an address to a large audience who attended the Forum meeting, declared N. D. A. members must now be producers. He used an interesting chart to illustrate the N. D. A. movement. The chart was painted in five colors representing five conditions or steps toward the ideal of Natural Government" as described by Benjamin B. Stringham. We cannot jump to the ideal plan at We must adonce," said Mr. Glad. vance step by step. We took the first step when we accepted the idea and believed it possible.

Thirty minutes time was to be given for the discussion by N. D. A delegates. We regret that we were not able to take advantage of such a splendid opportunity. The Farmers' Union is the largest organization of farmers in the United States. President John Simpson, when in Salt Lake City a short time ago, visited the association headquarters and commented very favorably. He expressed the hope that N. D. A. would expand until it included all the farmers ot the United States. His cooperation is evidenced by inviting us to appear in the convention over which he was to preside. Warwick' C.

They are especially happy to report the successful party that was held at the Civic Center Wednesday, November, 16. This party proved to be a combination of pleasure and work. The first few minutes were spent in what might really be termed pleasure, for a talent and willing young lady, Jeanette Morrell, entertained with clever comic readings and a piano sola After this part of the program, all present joined in singing and games that made the ladies feel very much acquainted. The part of the program that followed might be termed Work," but it proved to be so interesting and enjoyable that no one considered it real labor. It consisted of putting the finishing touches to toy animals by putting in the stuffing and giving them a final If Santa Claus could sewing-up- ? hace peeked in at the group of happy ladies surrounding the stuffing he would certainly have boxes, thought that he had enlisted the aid of a willing group. While busy fingers worked, Mrs. Brown entertained attentive minds with a talk on the educational value of toys. After the work was completed, the grand finale of the party came in the form of refreshments. The enthusiasm of those who had enjoyed the afternoon so much lead to a decision that hereafter the ladies will meet each Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the N. D. A. headquarters. There they will again put the finishing touches" to the toy animals, and their reward will be the knowledge that a regular zoo of stuffed elephants, horses and other varieties are ready to deliver to children on Christmas morning. Let's give' three cheers for the ladies who are proving themselves so willing to prepare for a merry Christmas. By the way, we want to remind the N. D. A. people to look in their homes for materials that could be used to stuff the animals. - ir V 4.,- The N- - D. A.
