to Charles T. Hull, local agent of Reid

LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
The American Missionary Associa-
tiOnss ApDeaI

New York, Feb. 1.-The American Mis-
sionary Association has issued an appeal
to Congreg ational churches, especially
throughout New England, to observe Feb
ruary 4, the second Sabbath of the present
month, as memorial Sunday Of the times
of Abraham Lincoln who was born Febru-
airy 12, 1909. The appeal connects Lin
coins life with the work of the associa-
ton, affirming that his early life was very
much the same as that led today by the
mountaineers of eastern Kentucky. The
hardships and struggles of his early years
for the elements OF education are those of
the Southern mountain children of today.
In Virginia and Kentucky, in Tennessee
and North Carolina, nearly 100000 Of
people are living, it is said, as the parents of
Lincoln lived and their children have the
same needs as those which he so painfully
felt. si
Isolated from the educational forces Of our
modern civilizations, great numbers of
these people are said tolhave lived for gen
erations in ignorance and poverty. They
are now awakening from the lethargy OF
the past and welcome the upliftment of
Christian training and education. No more
promising home mission fields can be found
throughout the country than those among
these hills are said to be-

sECRET TARY MORTON HOPES
His Seed Distribution Move
ment Making Progress.
SPEAKER REED is WITH HIM
The Work Of Sending Out the Pack
ages Is Being Done Much More
Economically and Quickly Than
Ever Before-An Amendment That
May Cause More Expense.

Secretary Morton is encouraged by the
evident growth of sentiment against 1.-The
promiscuous and gratuitous distribution
of seed by government agencies for the
abolition of which he has been fighting
for two years. 1t is believed that the
movement which he started will yet re-
suit in the total withdrawal from any
such activity on the part of the govern
ment; if that is not accomplished there is
evidence that return will be made TO the
originally worthy purpose OF introducing
new plants and crops. The expenditure
will probably be greatly diminished by
such reform.
AT the vote taken on the subject in the
House last week there were 53 votes
against any sort Of public distribution,
which is an increase Of 90 votes over the
vote on the same side last year. Signifi-
cant i'll the test, too, is the fact that
Speaker Reed came down out of the chair
and passed between the tellers to record
his vote among the So in opposition to the
present practice
Secretary Morton has just called atten-
ton officially to the change in the method
If distributing seeds, OF which The Times
gave the public the principal features two
months ago. He makes prominent the facts
that by careful inspection an effort is
being made to send out only seed that will
grow, and for the same money about double
the quantity formerly supplied is now
being distributed.
4 table incorporated. in a circular upon
tie subject just issued by Secretary Morton
gives the net cost OF seeds, salaries, paper
packages labels, etc, for the years 1891
to 1894, inclusive. This shows that for
these years an average of AZ per cent Of
the total appropriation was expended for
seeds and 5S per cent for salaries OF pack
ers bags, etc For the current year 80
per cent OF the appropriation was eX-
pended for seeds ready packed, and less
than o per cent for salaries and all other
expenses of distribution.
Comparing tne distribution for S94 under
the old plan with that of the presen,
| year under the new plan, it is seen that
in 1894 S127 .1OS.97 secured 9,5E5, 81
