To Rally for the Missions.

We notice that Rev. L. q jordan,
e Correspondent Secretary OF the Foreign
Board of tie National Baptist
us W. WsIaut ST.. Louis
VILE, KY, has literally csrpeted the
country with programs for the Annual
Foreign Mission Rally in the Baptist
churches, held on Easter Sunday of
each ysar. We sre told that there are
nsarly two million Bsptists in this
country aud yet the Secretsry o. the
Foreign Mission B oard expects or ssks
thst at Iesst s.. SEQ from this great ef-
fort. TeD thousand dolIsTs TO our minds
would be a small sum, especially when
we consider the numbers snd the fact
that DR. Jordan has for five yesrs
spent ell Of his time educating and
stimulating his Church in this great
work. Any denomination numbering
two million ought to give at least ten
thousand dollars once a year for the
very work for which their Church is
founded. As We note marked improve
ments II the Baptist churches in slI
lines for the past two or three years We
feel sure that they will measure up in
this ehOre. Success to the Board and

Major AlvOrd Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. talking OF
the butter exhibits at Paris last year,
said: During the season several lots
Of the very best butter Of the United
States were displayed at the Paris Ex-
position and in nearly all cases they
were placed on exhibition without be-
ing impaired in quality, although, Of
course, they were two or three weeks
old Experienced and competent judges
would unquestionably have pronounced
these buffers equal on the average to
any in the world, and certainly to any
shown at Paris But they were not
appreciated by the exposition jury and
did not receive their deserts. With
single exception they were salted
hutter, and that is probably enough to
account for the result All the best
butter Of Europe is without salt, sold
and generally consumed within few
days from the time it is made. In the
Paris markets no butter for table use
Is salted, and the expert tasters' on the
jury knew only the Paris markets In
those markets the poor and faulty but
ter is salted and sold for cooking and
confectionery Any butter that was
salted meant to those Jurors an infer
ior article. full OF faults which salt was
used to hide and fit only for the baker
OF the secOnd-rate cook. This exper-
fence and prejudice could not be over
come Tie one un-alted exhibit was
given a gold medal and some Of the
lightly salted lots Jared pretty well. Oc-
casionally an exhibit had such conspic-

any award whatever for such butter.
To illustrate: Ten gold medals were
awarded to United States buffers;
these we're all lightly salted except
one: these ten lots we're carefully
judged and scored before leaving New
York, within a fortnight Of the Paris

95 points; ten other lots with more salt

Mr.. William Jarvis. the American con-

Spanish Junta, from confscated fiocks
OF Spanish nOblemen, and sent TO
various parts of this country $3.50
Merinos. Randall says that $500 to
5000 Spanish Merinos were imported
by other persons in 1909. 1910. and
1871. There was little excitement
about the earlier importations up to
1907. Then the difficulties with Eng
land and France called attention to
the necessity OF providing a domestic
supply OF wool, the embargo intensified
popular interest in the matter. and
the war OF 1912 shut of foreign sup
plies. II Is not strange that prices
rose TO the extreme OF $3.50 per pound
for wool and $1,000 or more for a
pure-bred sheep. After peace was de-
clared, however, and a food Of for
eign goods was admitted. they became
drug in the market at a dollar a
head. The Saxon Merinos were inn
ported IN large numbers between 1924
and 1S4S. The saxons produced very
fine wool, but they lacked constitution
al yigor. Fine fiocks have been kept
here from that day to this. tho, Sh they
are few at present. In that Saxon
boom their good name was injured by
frauds in selling grades for pure
bloods. Their failure to sustain their
popularity was due mainly to the fact
that the price for Saxon wool was not
sufficiently high to Offset the light
weight Of fleece.

out with the treasury coach. and it
was we'll known that a successful raid
on this stage would net large returns
At one time the treasury coach, in

men. Davis was put on the trail to
run them down. In company with an
other fearless man they chased the
bandits over the bad lands in northern
Nebraska for a number Of days They
