HOMESPUN R E L I G I O NBy THE REV. JAMES LORDCXIII. — Lights Not Focused(The author of this department teas for seven years pastor of St. John's M£,Church of Brooklyn and now occupies the pulpit of one of Suffolk' s largestchurches, The First M .E. of Riverhead. He is former president of the NeaYork City Preachers' Meeting.)—EDTTOI.

The curse of the world is in itsmany, many brilliant lights that arenot focused. All the avenues of art,literature and industry are crowdedwith men who have failed to getthe light of the brain and the lightof the heart correlated; or ot menwho have failed to strike the bal-ance between the spiritual and thepractical. Unhappy jg the man inwhom one kind of vision becomesso strong as to put all the othersout of focus. Matthew Arnold setfor our great ideal the ability to"see life sanely and to see it whole".We see things as the poor blindman saw them, under the han d ofJesus, slowly recovering his sight.

but not yet recovering his sense ofprbportion. "I see men," said he,"as trees walking."

It seems to me that the prayerof us all ought to be not BO muchfor brilliancy as for focus; not forone sputtering naming comet-likeillumination, but for a deep, broadand steady glow, like a fixed star,yes, like that of Him who was thebright and morning star. Jesus sawwith a single eye. That is, in Him,all lights were blended and focus-ed, every trait and characteristicso beautifully balanced and corre-lated, that the splendid and sym-metrically proportioned life stoodout like a lighthouse in a storm-tossed world.

This week, The County Re-view, co-operating with the busi-ness men and mercantile institu-tions of Riverhead is givingstrong publicity to a movementfor early Fall buy ing.

It ' is a matter of commonknowledge among the merchantsand business men that commodityprices and wholesale prices arerising. This knowledge is basedupon letters from manufactures,quoting prices on merchandise.

•There is no desire upon thepa'rt of the County Review topromote a panic of buying—farfrom it. But we consider it aservice to our readers to informthem of rises in retail prices tocotrte, and suggest that now isthe time to buy for Fall and Win-ter needs, while prices remain asthey are.

Many of the Riverhead storeshave selected special items ofmerchandise to offer during thissale. The advertisements in the"Harvest Days" Section of to-day's County Review will proveinforming. We suggest that yousaVe this 6-page section of today'sReview and bring it with you toRiverhead to serve as a shoppinggu|de.

BEHIND THE SCENESIN AMERICAN BUSINESS

By John CraddockBUSINESS—A chance for the un-

employed or partly employed topick up a few dollars is indicatedby the sharp rise in scrap ironprices since the war. From $15 aton in August to $25 or $26 a tontoday means a squeeze on profitsof steel companies, which mixequal quantities of scrap with ironore in making steel, but anyone withthe time and energy to scour cel-lars, vacant lots or junk heaps fordiscarded pieces of iron or steelshould be able to sell such findingsto the local junk dealer at a goodprice.

Another effect of the war hasbeen on carpet prices, and anyonecontemplating a new rug for thehome would be well advised to buynow. Although the U. S. is secondonly to Australia in wool produc-tion , the mild climate here makes itimpossible to produce the coarse,heavy wool needed for carpets. Chi-na, involved in her own war withJapan , can ship none here. Argen-tina and other suppliers have hadtheir clip embargoed because of theEuropean conflict. Result is alooming shortage in America, al-ready reflected in a 10 per cent in-crease in carpet prices since Sept1.

WASHINGTON—Once again thegovernment is becoming concernedas business activity increases. Wordhas gone out that the Departmentof Commerce soon will Issue awarning against over-expansion.Unless the brakes are applied torapidly mounting inventories inhands of retailers, wholesalers, andmanufacturers, some officials in thedepartment feel, business n e x tspring may have to coast along withseveral Jean weeks or months whilewaiting for goods now being pro-duced to be consumed. The theoryis, of course, that sustained recov-ery can be built only by expandingthe nation 's production and produc-tion facilities at a rate that keepsjust a shade ahead of demand fromthe public which is the ultimateconsumer.

? * *STIFF PACE—Several times in

the last ten years industry hasstepped up production only to bethwarted by inability of consumersto match the pace. It happened to-ward the end of the ill-fated NRAexperiment and again in the sum-mer of 1937. When on some futureday it is possible to untangle allthe strands of present-day economicactivity, the plight of the consum-er very possibly may be traced to' atremendously increased tax burden,especially taxes of the hidden vari-ety which are buried in the cost ofmerchandise the consumer is askedto buy. The extent of this tax loadis indicated by a study on statestaxes just completed by the Nation-al Consumers' Tax Commission,whose headquarters are in Chicago.The commission found that threeindirectly assessed levies—those onmotdr'~ fuels, payrolls and general

sales—produced more than half ofthe $3,904,525,000 total tax collectionsof the 48 state governments In 1938.

* * *WINTER'S COMING — Perhaps

inspired by new Department ofCommerce estimates that Americaspends $750,000,000 annually formaintenance of residences, a largeshare of it in preparing for winter ,FHA issues timely warnings thathouses which have not had theirregular periodic paint job may notbe fortified against the ravages ofthe Frost King. FHA, offeringfunds under the ModernizationCredit Plan , warns that paint whichwears by "chalking" (powderingoff gradually, leaving a film thin-ner but still protective) is to be pre-ferred to that which peels. A great-er swing to aluminum paint for firsthouse coats and for complete barnpaint jobs as weather insurance hasbeen noted in paint sales which Inlate summer months soared to levelseven exceeding those of boom 1937.Can a new home-improvement up-swing be under way?

THINGS TO WATCH FOR—An-other wrinkle for women's hats-plastic sheeting for a pastel , trans-lucent rim in a summer bonnet. . . .New type of high-vitamin bread ,which retains the heart of the val-uable wheat kernel usually disposedof by millers because it has an oilmaking it impossible to store flour.. . . Speedometers in club cars oftrains so that passengers can tel lhow fast they are going. . . . Newstenographer's "bible"—booklet call-ed "50 Common Typing Faults andHow to Correct Them" written byworld's typing champ and beingcirculated by a leading typewritermanufacturer. . . . Super - scoopsteam shovels—one costing $450,000and having a "bite capacity" of 35cubic yards now being built in Ma-rion, Ohio. . . . Use of the airplanein wild life preservation—the MaineGame Commission has purchased aStinson "Reliant" plane to dropyoung fish from the air to stock in-land streams in summer, and totransport hay and other feeds tosnowbound deer in winter. . . .

We are all guilty, although wecould plead" that some are moreguilty thari .others. Here is thematter of looking to the govern-ment for the financing of proj-ects in local communities. Mostpeople perhaps are opposed tothat when it occurs at a distance,but few are opposed when itis somethiryz wanted at home.

Of coursef'the chief trouble hasbeen a policy of spending- thatpermitted and encouraged theattitude. But the American Bank-ers' Association is against it, allof it, we suppose. At its Seattleconvention the association adopt-ed a resolution condemning pres-sure groups for demanding gov-ernment expenditures on projectswhich , "if warranted at all ,"should be paid for by state or lo-cal subdivisions.

Certainly the paying is donethat way but not directly, so itisn't seen. ,'It is assumed to bethe work of some magnanimousand philanthropic agency, where-as the burden of the cost fallsupon everybody.

In these J times when public at-tention is distracted by the warabroad our problems at home canbe too easil y over-looked. Butthey won't disappear by that pro-cess.—Kansas City Times.

It is easier for a child to under-stand his parents than it is forparents to

^understand their child',¦says a prominent psychologist, '¦¦''"-

There are many reasons whyRepublican success in the cominglocal elections will serve the bestinterests of the Suffolk Countycommunities, and the best inter-ests of the state and nation.

Not the least of these is thegathering of strength for thegreat test that lies ahead, in 1940,when the outcome of the Presi-dential election may well deter-mine the governmental fate andthe political destiny of this coun-try Nothing succeeds like suc-cess and the prestige derivedfr^im victories this year will helpmightily in the coming battleagainst a type of executive dom-ination which holds the seeds ofdictatorship.

Jt can be truthfully said thatthe eyes of the nation will be fo-cused this November on thestates and communities whichhave a long tradition of Repub-licanism. It js in these states andcommunities that the strongesteffort is being made to "start atrend", for the New Deal leaderschtrish the theory that a goodoffense is the best defense.At^iong these communities

is Suf-

folk County.Suffolk Republicans have rea-

son to take pride in the candi-dates their parry has nominatedfor county and town offices thisyear. The majority of Republi-can candidates are men who havemade their mark in fields otherthan politics, in business, in theprofessions or in civic work. Theywere nominated because theywere outstanding in their ownCommtinitie3>^fl.ot^because: t̂faey-

wcre practicing politicians whoknow no other trade.

We believe that the election ofthese men will insure the con-tinuance of sound, honest and re-sponsible local government in theseveral towns, as well as in theconduct of county affairs. Weurge their election.

I VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Labor crncicncy nas alwaysbeen the keynote of Americanagriculture. American farmershave wasted land , but they haveharvested a larger yield to theworker, or to the unit-of-labor,than any other farmers in theworld. They have economizedin labor, which was scarce, andhave wasted land , which wasplentiful. ¦

The futiire problems of Amer-ican farmers include a better useof land , a 'greater intensity ofcultivation , and , at the same time,the maintenance of a high pro-ductivity of the individual work-er.

A well-planned farm layout of-fers one means of saving landand labor. .,A good farm layoutshould provide not only an effi-cient field arrangement, but alsoa well-p lanned farmstead , eco-nomical fences, convenient lanesand driveways, and the mostprofitable use of land.

These are statements of Pro-fessor W. I; Myers, head of thedepartment ' of agricultural eco-nomics at .Cornell University.Many New York f arms of todayneed rearranging, he says, be-cause of changes in agriculturalconditions, the use of more ma-chinery, the need for larger andless irregular fields , and similarrequirements.

Cornell has a bulletin that tellshow to plan the farm layout forefficient management. It dealswith the size and shape of fields ,distances to fields, obstructions,the use of fences, the arrange-ment of lanes and driveways, andother matters. This bulletin, E-55, is available free to New YorkState residents and may be hadfrom the New York State Col-lege of Agriculture at Ithaca,New York. .

GOOD FARM LAYOUTHELPi EFFICIENCY

Little imagination is requiredto recall the government enforc-ed "bank holiday" of 1933. Busi-ness and industry lived in a stateof suspended animation. Pay-checks could not be cashed, bankaccounts were frozen—in short,the man on the street learned al-most instantly just how vital thebanking industry is to the coun-ty- -J

According to the National La-bor Relations Board, employes in16,000 bank's are subject to the"persuasion" of organized labor.Labor organizations, if the deci-sion sticks before the courts, ap-parently have a rich field in whichto operate,, but will assume aheavy responsibility requiring anunprecedented degree of intelli-gent management and restrainton the part of men responsiblefor acts of labor. Nothing woulddamn the cause of labor morethan use of "strong arm" meth-ods to organize the banks.

Modern banks are a highlygeared mechanism regulated bythe public to serve the public. Ina nation of 3,000,000 square milesand 130,000,000 inhabitants, theirjob is to keep the financial side ofsociety a gojihg concern. And theundisputabTe truth is that theyhave attained a degree of successunequaled in the history of man-kind. Labxrr in its own interesthad best approach the banks withcaution !
