KATIQN HOW THE EGYPTIAN AS SAVED. President Omm Smith Again Writes ou the Important Subject of Stor- ing Wheat. It has Wu taught for over 35 years that there would a lime come when bread would 1n in great de mand and the question of storing it up against 6uch a time bus agitated the public uiuVl during these many years. As this trying event uets nearer, the miuils of the uiore tuoughtful will Ikj more and more wrought upon, aud numerous schmcs will lw to bring about a system for the purpose of storing wheat for bread. The system now iu vogue among us of every person trying to accomplish' tins, as individuals, has fcignally failed, as 35 years of past effort has clearly demonstrated, aud not only has it failed in our day but iu oilier ages when the people have tteen warned as ..we nave been, to iroiile against such a time As in the case of Joseph who was sold into Egypt i the whole Egyptian nation would have erished had the stor iug of bread been left to the in dividuals. As it wns t he v. were warned of the approach of famine, in ample lime to have been prepared for iff but alas, what a sorrowful condition they would have lieen in hail not Pharoah, through the inspired Joseph, ordered the gathering of breadstuff into storehouses all over thn land and placed in' the hands of good,reliahle men. These organizations no doubt were formed so as to protect the buildings and their., contents against all encoroachmeuts, for sacred history tells us they were scattered throughout the land. That system proved successful then, aud a nation was saved from (wishing of starvation. Why may not that same system, if put into njteration prove successful now? Since we have tried the system of individual effort why not try the system of organized effort? Duildings could lie built iu each wanl under a properly organized company, and each family could put in whatever wheat they desired to, or could, for the ex pre w purpose of saviug it for bread, iu a time of need. This could bo kept until another crop was as sured and then disposed of, (if thought best) and the proceeds put into new wheat und return! to the granaries, with any additional gain that the people felt lika putting in, and in this way increasing a little each yoar, without any iercep(abe lessening of our private crop, we could have in each wanl from five to twenty thousand bushels of wheat owuod and protected, by the people, and that too iu the short period of from five to ten years. This would teach the principle of saving something and would be equally as profitable as puttiug away cash in a saving's bank. This great, grand object can only be accomplished, it would seem from all past experiences, npon the principle of systematic organization for this express purpose, and who shall say that the proper time is nut right here when this should be done? There is an inherent principle that urges them to protect that which is theirs, or in whii-they ar.- interested, . and this would prevail iu uigauiza-tiou- s of the kind referred to, in all men - , Smith.
