Miss MCGEE, of Evansville, Ind, repre-
senting the Ladies Board of Missions of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
gave highly entertaining lecture
last Sunday at Pleasant Mount Church.
DR.. A. G. DInwiddie, OF Kansas City,
who is here on visit to his daughter,
Mrs. Jno. ii. Carpenter, occupied the
pulpit of the First Methodist CHI Irch
Sunday morning. His text was from
Matthew, seventh chapter and fourteenth
verse. because straight is the gate and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it," A
large congregation had assembled, many
of them old friends of the speaker, and
they gave earnest attention, while the
rich gleanings from thirty-seven years
in the field of ministerial labor were con-
veyed to them in choicest language. His
Interpretation robs the text of many of
it's discouraging features; at the same
time he would have none believe but
that the Christian life is one of warfare;
and yet he shows that the flowers along
the path brighten the way. No other
path leads to life eternal, and all others
must be forsaken there is no Christian
but has to renounce or be at warfare
with some worldly sin, but Christ is al
ways on our side of the battle. Many
other helpful thoughts were forcibly set
forth, and the sermon in it's entirety was
one which could not fail to enrich the
heart and mind of all present.

the German government has made all

this officer. will have 81 battleships,
varying from IL 900 to $4,000 tons, and
30 large and 40 small armored cruisers,
thus exceeding in fighting power the

Monthly Crop Report.

In the Michigan crop report for Feb
ruary Secretary of State Stearns says
that there was very little precipitation
in Michigan in January until the last
few days of the month. The average
depth of snow on the 18th ut, in the
southern counties, was 0.70 inches, in
the central counties 100 inches, and in
the northern counties 2.1s inches On
the last day of the month the average
depth was 2.l3 inches in the southern
counties, lie inches In the central and
TAD inches in the northern counties.
In most of the southern counties the
ground was practically bear during the
entire month
In reply TO the question, HAS wheat
suffered injury from any cause during
January? 27O correspondents in the
southern counties answered yes" and
% mo" In the central counties 10
correspondents answered yes, and
35 no" In the northern counties 80
answered yes" and 80 mo" The
prevailing opinion is that wheat has
suffered some injury Conditions have
been unfavorable, yet the outcome de-
ponds very largely on the weather that
follows. The total number of bushels
of wheat reported marketed by farm
ers in January was 475,536. OF this
total $40, 2S9 bushels were marketed in
the southern four tiers of counties,
123, AIS in the central counties, ana Il,
100 in the northern counties. The total
number of bushels of wheat reported
marketed in the six months, August to
January, is Bill ,026, which is $685.
9s4 bushels less than reported marketed
in the same months last year.

Sugar Beet Raising In Michigan.

Prof Clinton ID. Smith, director of
the Michigan experiment station, is
out with a statement that is of much
interest to the thousands of sugar beet
growers Of Michigan, his desire being
to correct misrepresentation existing
in the minds of great many farmers
who reside in the vicinity of beet sugar
factories. Mr.. Smith calls attention to
the fact that the experiment station
has undertaken great many expert
ments in the growing of sugar beets.
Uuring the past 30 years it has seat
tered beet seed over the state, and to
ASCERTAIN the quality of the beets pro-
duced it has tested the beets sent in by
the growers. These results warrant
the statement that good beets can be
grown in most parts of the states.
In many instances the growers have
become dissatisfied with the test re-
suits given them by the factories, and
have sent their beets to the college.
The results of the college analyses
have been used as a basis for an at
tack on the good faith of the factory,
the grower evidently forgetting that
the beets sent TO the college are in
variable selected, and do not come any
where near representing the crop as il
runs; and also losing sight of the fact
that the beets sent to the college are
almost invariably dried out and some
what withered, and that, therefore,
the statement of the chemist regard
them, while absolutely true, is grossly
misleading to the person who does not
take these facts into consideration.

retired in apparently perfect health.
An hour later strange rappings and
knocltings begun in her room. The
girl became badly frightened and called
for assistance. Those who touched her
received smart electrical shocks, and
the rappings increased in violence. DR..
A. G. Mcleod, prominent physician.
was summoned but was unable to give
relief to the girl or stop the violent
rappings which constantly continued
from all parts of the room. The girl
continued in the same condition, and
the rappings, which are now intermit-
tent, can be heard fully 100 feet away.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter, written by Mr..
John Cummings Of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly Of Washing
ton, to a friend In the United States,
Is only one of q hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good. sober and industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home In the
dominion.
Dear Sir: You want to know how /
got along since / came into Northern
Alberta. l am happy to inform you
that am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast OF
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington. Wash.
on the 29th day of May, driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables. 18x
20 inside, SO that we could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the LIST of December; but,
to our surprise, we had no use for the
stables only for the milk COW and two
spans of horses. The balance of the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to go into in a cold time, but they
would not do 1t, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.
l can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. / know all
of their circumstances. Every one OF
them have doubled their cultivated
land and doubled their animals, and
a great deal more. All of us are COM
paratively out of debt and an unusual
ly big crop to thresh and prospects Of
q fair price, and l expect we are as
we'll contented lot Of people as there
is to be found from Florida to the
Klondike.
My son bought two pounds OF Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to
bind some barley we found that in
stead of taking two pounds to the acre,
1t was taking nearly five pounds. Then
you ought to have seen him hitch up a
team and make for town for 100 pounds
more. | cannot say how it will thresh.
All l can say is that 1t is well-headed,
and takes an enormous amount OF
Irvine.
