and in scattering our gospel seed over
the field OF sin, in scattering our good
deeds over the great troubled sea of
humanity?
TO show what rewards can come
from casting the seeds abroad the sto-
ry is told that In the far east a father
lay dying. He called to his bedside
his five boys and told them that he had
nothing to leave them but his farm.
but that in the fields OF that farm was
buried a very rich treasure, and il they
wanted TO become rich they should 20
and dig the fields until they found 1t.
So after the father was buried the five
boys took their spades and picks and
piows and went to work. They dug
the fields up far and near; they dug
them very deep; they dug them over
and over again, but they could not find
the treasure. AS they had dug the
fields so deep, the boys decided to plant
them. Then, when the harvests came
and We're gathered and sold and the
money filled the family treasury, the
boys began to think. They said to
themselves, Perhaps, after sill, the
rich treasure which our father had
promised us has been dug up by our
spades and plows." Their treasure
came not in the gold quaried from
dark mine, but in the minted gold OF
wheat sheaf. So Christ. like the dying
father, bids us find our gospel treas
ures by casting the good seed into the
ground. by scattering it upon the sea
or sinful humanity. Then we shall
reap the golden harvests which shall
be garnered In the granaries OF heaven.
Would that we all might be willing
to go forth TO this gospel plantingl
Would that we all might get our hearts
In touch with Christ. sothat we might
consecrate our lives for the mighty

Due to Strife in business and Social
Life, Declares DIR. Stone.
Chicago people are going to church less
and less each year. This is the statement
made by the Rev. James 5. Stone, pastor
Of ST. James Church, Cass and Huron
streets. Mr.. Stone gives FIVE reasons
which in his opinion cause this decrease
in church attendance.
Chief among these FIVE the pastor of
the North Side church says is the con
stant struggle IN the business and social
world. a woman who for whole week
has been attending theaters, balls, teas
and numerous other social functions"
said the Rev. Mr.. Stone. looks forward
to Sunday as day Of rest. and she sore
ly needs it. For the same reason n man
who has spent six days in any business
which calls for his whole attention many
hours day does not wish to spend any
part of his Sunday in church. The LIST
of reasons given by the Rev. Mr.. Stone
for the lack of church attendance fol-
lows:
Wear and tear of the modern business
and social life; reaction from successive
einotionaiism; decline in the faith in i'm
mortality: numerous warning denomina-
tions. aud lack OF something new in the
church.
Chicago is no exception TO the lack of
church attendance. Il is the same from
one end of the country to the other" said
Mr.. Stone. 1T applies to all cities and
towns and is almost as marked in the
country as in the city. l have been asked
if it was not due 10 the criticism heaped
upon the church and the Bible. do not
think that this is the case. This criticism
has been going on for centuries and il
would not only now begin to affect the
attendance. Others ask if it is not be-
cause the people have an idea that the
church is only for the rich. l do not think
that this is the case. for in churches that
are built and conducted for the poor alone
the same state of affairs prevails. The
same condition prevails everywhere"
The Rev. Mr.. Stone attempted to sus-
gest a remedy for the condition. There
is molly one way to remedy this apparent
abandonment of the church." said lie.
at is not in providing music and enter
tainment for the people, but in impress
ing upon their minds that the neglect of
worship is a sin. This is the only way
that the people can be brought back into
the church"

In the Swat uprising the Mohamme-

the whole valley in an uproar for three
months. Then all his lieutenants and
soldiers submitted to the British.

natives who had failed to support him

IMMENSE POTATO CROP.
Fnrmers Will Realize More than Fifty
Dollars an Acre.


The harvest of the potato crop in the
Raw valley. Kansas. is nearing compile
ton. and while the size of the crop will
not be known until the railroads have re-
ceived reports as to the number of cars
used in transporting it. it is said to be
one of the largest ever raised in the val
ley. 1t has been customary for the po-
seed all potatoes dug after Oct. l, because
they are usually not large enough for
table use. but the growing season has
been longer this year and practically all
of the potatoes harvested are market
able.
for production in the Kaw valley. The
quality of the potatoes has been better
and the yield larger than the average
year. On some of the farms the yield
has been as large as $50 bushels to the
acre. This is extraordinary. but the
average yield has been good and the price
about - cents bushel. This makes on
income from such field rs mentioned as
Ligh rs $50 to the acre.
The potato-growing area of the Kaw
river valley extends from Argentine on
the east to Topeka on the west. The
growers in this section have an organiza-
ton and it is understood among them that
only pure Northern seed is to be planted
each year. This seed is of the Early
Ohio variety and comes from the valley
of the Red river in Minnesota.
