SECRETARY RUsK ON AGRICULTURE
Hon. jeremiah M. kusk, Secretary of
Agriculture, in his annual report, says the
remarkable fact concerning the crop values
of the year, at least as to cereals and meats,
is that they are so we'll sustained Ia the
presence of abundant yields. Corn is, 60

increased quantity, lat current values makes
the increment of value from two to three
hundred million dollars. Wheat, with
crop almost so per cent. greater than last
year, and the largest yield ever recorded in
this country, and the largest product ever
harvested in any country, commands about
the same prices in the great markets as
last year. Oats are lower, with an i'm
mense increase of production. Barley he'd

enlarged area. The Increased value of all
cereals over that of last year, on the basis
OF October values, Is not less than $500, 000,-
600. The increase in the wholesale values
of all meats, on the basis of current prices
may reach $4,000. Cotton is lower this
year. The large product and good pricee
OF fruits will more than double fruit values
OF last year. Taking all products together,
In comparison with last year at prices cur

Just what it is not, and then what it is. It
does not consist of forms. Form we must

to, but the man Within Burns was right
Religious forms are but dress, and dress is
often used as covering for the dead as
well as the living. Pure religion and unde-
filed does not consist in belief in dogmas or
doctrines. In the past much stress was
placed on a correct theological belief, or
d
belief. Now we are coming to think that
the life man lives is of more value to him
self and the world than the clothes he
wears, and that character is more than
creed. The right of the private interpreta-
ton of the Scriptures ought not to be con-
sidered new by Professionals.
