Punishment for Wickedness.

ruinous drought which has spread ov-
er the crop districts Rev. o. c. Bed
ford, pastor of the Knox Street Con-

the hand of the Almighty. In his

away from prayer.
"If the drought will bring people to
their knees in prayer and will cause
the salvation of SOULS he prayed,
then, oh, Lord, let us have the
drought"
Rev. Mr.. Bedford maintained that
the people of the United States were
more wicked in some respects than
the people of any other period in the
history of the world.
Family worship is being dropped,
he said. and there is no power in the
church. God. he added. is therefore
taking away the corn and is thus lead
ing people to prayer.
Some people" he exclaimed, will
suffer from the drought. but this phys
ical suffering will he less than if God
gave the people plenty and all Went
down to hell together. If the drought
will induce the people to pray. | hail
the time when we shall have greater
drought than this"

Arrangements Being Made for
Abrogation Of Treaty
With Britain
Intention is to Build Shipyards
Three Different Points
on Great Lakes

CHICAGO, July 27.-Preliminary ar
rangements were begun today to
bring about If possible the early
abrogation with Great Britain of
the treaty which forbids war ships
appearing on the great lakes. 1t is
intended to construct large ship yards
at three different points on Lake
Erie. Lake Michigan and Lake Supe-
rior and build vessels. not only for
the American navy but for the world.
The opportunities for the carrying
out of such plan are splendid, con-
sidering the nearness to raw material
and the possibility of ships with heavy
tonnage getting out through the ca
nails to the broad Atlantic. 1t will be
impossible. however. to carry out the
plan until congress arranges for the
abrogatiOn of the treaty with Great
Britain. which has long been consid-
cred arbitrary and unnecessary.
The Illinois senatorial and congress
sional delegations are unit for the
plan.

Always Profitable II Well Grown.
The Late Crop.

The cultivation of the caulif1Ower Is
increasing as the demand for 1t in-
creases, says American Cultivator.
The methods are very much the same
as for cabbage. but the ground can
scarcely be too rich for the cauliiiower.
and 1t may be well to apply about 100
pounds per acre of nitrate Of soda, a
handful around each plant just before
the flowers form, working II well into
the soil. The seed for the early crop
Is sown In the greenhouse or hotbed
usually in February and the plants
hardened and set out In April or May,
when the ground can be made ready.
The late crop is from seed sown In
the open ground in May and June.
The most care Is necessary after the
flowers begin to form, when they
should be examined every morning
and the leaves drawn In and tied over
the flower loosely. but still so US to per-.
fectly cover it to prevent dlscoloratlon.
This covering may need to be loosened
as the flower expands II one has not
the knack of SO tying that the band al
lows the leaves to spread as they need
| to.
With the exception Of this care after
blossoming begins. 1t Is but little more
trouble to grow cauliIowers than cab
bages. and after the fall grown heads
are out of the market those who SOW
seed In the fall and grow them In hot
houses during the winter find ready
market and good prices for them.

table crop at whatever season grown
