Tech nique Has Been Modernized Yep, that's cattle rustlers in them thar hills, pardner, Maybe there isn't enough trouble elready with a war on our hands. Maybe food ehortages'/and several different kinns of rationing aren't giving West Coast folks plenty to think about, But no, some people have to go sneaking out at night, breaking through fences, herding out good ° live - beef, butchering #t right on the spot and trucking It away. A visit to any ranch will verify that this ancient type of thievery-- which the Old West thought fit stamped out years ago--Is on again and gaining momentum, For Coast cities, growing rapidly in population under the impetus of war industry and shipping busi ness, cattle rustling has become a real problem. It is one of the ana- chronisms of the war and is a direct product of unequal alloca- tion of foodstuffs in congested areas, Cure Is the Same A survey on several big ranches 26 to 30 miles east of the San Franclsco Bay areca shows that few cattlemen have escaped this revival of midnight beef burgling. As they explain it, the original rustling technique has been mod- ernized. Instead of invading a grazing range and driving off hun- dreds of head of cattle at a time, asin the old days, modern rustlers approach by light truck, usally parking on or near a main road adjacent to the ranch theyre go- ing to "work." A few choice head arc quietly - soparated from the herd and guld- ed to a spot in the field just off = the road from the parked car. Here the slaughter takes place. Working swiftly and silently, the thicves take only the useable por- tions of the cattle, leaving worth. less residue behind, as they roll away and loge themselves. in_the trafic.

The Aleutians 200 Years Ago Russizn Merchant Organized First Fur Trade in 1743 "",An article on the Aleutian Is- lands In the Yale Review gives historical background to a part of the world that may scem to have had, until last year, no yesterdays worth recording. But there are --- 200 years of them, which, {tf not rich In event, still were well worth knowing and pondering, it seems, It was in 1743 that a Moscow merchant named Serebrennikot organized the first fur trade in these islands and made a fortune out of four voyages among them. Forty years later another m hant named Shelikof founded a trading post, comparable to Albany or New York In their "factory" origins, Which survives to this day at Ko- dlak.

The road from Cairo to Tripoli Js 1,400 miles, Over 5,000 tons -of water were needed by the ighth Army every day; most of e supply had to come from the Nile along a pipe line to Tobruk, and the rest of the ever-lengthen. ing way by road. More. than 8,000,000 gallons of gasoline were delivered at the front, and about 8,000 tons of ammunition. During the artillery prepara- tions for 'the attack on El Ala- mein, the field guns alone fired 1,000,000 pounds weight of shells in an hour. Water food, gasoline, ammunl- © tlon--all these have followed, and kept pace with an army which has . traveled 1,300 miles in 91 days, ~ March 7 BIBLE TEACHINGS AGAINST DRUNKENNESS - 1 Samuel 30:16, 17; lsaiah 28 1-4, 7; Galatians 5:19-21 GOLDEN TEXT.--Strong drink "shall be bitter to them that drink it. Isaiah 24:0, Memory Verse: God is love. 1 John 4:8, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The event recorded in I Samuel occurred possibly 1056 B.C.; Isaiah 28 was written not far from 7256 B.C.; Paul probably wrote his Epistle to the Galatians in A.D,-58. Place.--The city of Ziklag has not yet been definitely identified, but it was somewhere south of Gaza, in southern Palestine. Ephraim is the name of that part of Palestine which can be gen. erally located in the central wes- tern section of the Holy Land; here it is probably a synonym for all of Samaria. Galatia was a province in Asia, an areca today known as Asia Minor. "And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, be- cause of all the great spoili-that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled." Providentially, an Egyptian who knew the place to which the _ Amalekites had fled, appeared just at the time when David first became aware of what had hap- pened to his property and his wives, and guided them to the place where these marauders were drinking and carousing in cele- bration of their victory. Discov- ered-in such a state, totally sur- prised and unprepared, bewildered because of their gluttony and drinking, the whole ~Amalekite host that had destroyed Ziklag was destroyed by David and his soldiers. Many a battle has been . lost for the same reason, Abiding Beauty "Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are ° overcome with wine, Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a de- stroying storm, as a tempest' of mighty waters overflowing, will be cast down to the earth' with the hand. The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: and the fading flower of his glorious . beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first ripe fig before the summer; _ which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand. he eateth it up." The union of two metaphors, each - separately striking, adds doyble force to the prophet's warning. . ... The proud crown or garland of the. drunkards, when the 'spoiler has torn it from their brows, and cast it on thé ground, will be trodden under -his feet. Samaria, the glorious beauty or ornament of Ephraim, would be indeed like a fading flower, a wreath withering away; and also like the early fig, which drops when the tree {is shaken, and which he who sees it no sooner sets his eyes upon than he devours it with greedy haste. .. Effect of Strong Drink "And cven these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swal- - lowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment." By the influence of intoxicating Hquors the priests and prophets were disqualified for the high and holy-functions of 'theit office; - and the consequence was that the nation 'was corrupt, and was ex- .posed to the heavy judgments of God. Works of the Flesh "Now theé™ works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lascivi- ousnéss, idolatry, sorcery, enmi- ties; strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envy ings, drunkenness, revellings, and such "like; of which' I forewarn you even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things "shall not inherit the kingdom of God." This is the first time that these verses, so dark in their en- umeration of the sins of men, have ever appeared as a part of the printed text of the Interna- tional Sunday School Lessons, And yet this passage is a part of the Word of God, a very sober part of the Word of God. It is a word of warning, and it should be heeded, The niere examination of this passage with some caro will bow any heart before God, asking for cleansing when it is conscious of béing guilty of any 'of these sins, asking, too, for "divine deliverance from each and all of them throughout the years that remain, is, of course, to have eternal life, It involves all that is ever thought of in the idea of heaven, of eter- nal peace and joy, of a home above in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, To be shut out of the kingdom of God means noth- ing less than to be confined to darkness and everlasting suffer- ing. The text does not say that any one who has ever been guilty of any of these sins will never inherit the kingdom of God, for then all of us would be hopelessly lost. No matter what sin any man has been guilty of, the -blood of Jesus Christ His Son can wash that sin or can make atonement for that sin and teconcile that soul to God. What it does say is that those who practice and continue In these sins, who persistently em- brace them and indulge in them, these will never enter the king- dom of God. There is a differ- ence between a man who lives in sin day after day, and a Christian who in some sudden moment of temptation falls into sin, only to ery to God to be immediately de- livered therefrom.

The value of Boy Scouf rain. ing in first aid was shown to good advantage recently at Galt, Ontario. A group of Scouts en- joying an outing on a farm near the city were given an opportun- ity to test their skill when a lad fell from the roof of a barn, in- juring his ankles, They used their knowledge of signalling to call other boys from the nearby woods, and then while one boy summoned a doctor, other boys, improvised a stretcher with their coats and carried the injured boy to the farm house, where prepar- ations had been made to receive him by a messenger sent ahead. . * . A Nova Scotian Scoutmaster, looking over a picture of a group of his Boy Scouts, taken camping trip a few years ajo, found that of 14 boys in the group, seven are in the armed forces, two are in war industry, two are studying medicine at University and three are still at tending school. -. * Out of a class of 48 men who gat for a higher rating examina- tion for Sick Berth Attendants in the Royal Naval Volunteer Re- serve, the first three places were © won by men who had received their first aid and nursing train. ing in the Boy Scouts, a report from London relates. » » * Jewish Boy Scouts of Sheffield, England, have set up a good turn service,.carrying servicemen"s kits between the city's two railway stations.
