Church Out OF Debt.

On Sunday June %, at meeting of
the Church of God in this city it was
announced by the trustees that the
entire amount of Indebtedness on the

about $40 pr acre. There are over
two thousand farms In Indiana which

states show that the average gross re-
turns from all cultivated lands in this
country is a little less than $1,000 per

Injunction Against Boycot,.

Injunction against the boycott In
its various phases is not new thing,
but Judge Ray, of Minneapolis, seems
to have covered the subject just lit
tie more completely than any other
Judge on the bench. In issuing a
temporary injunction against an cleo
trical workers union he holds it ille-
gal for the strikers to conspire to in
jure the contractors business; to in
terfere with such business by threats
directed against customers or pro.
spective customers, to notify custom
ers that contractors are ssunfair;" to
go on premises where contractors are
employed to interfere with their bust
ness; or to order union men to quit
work on premises by reason OF the
fact that contractors may be employed
thereon. In other words, the court
b. bids that the strikers have a perfect
right to quit work and leave their
employer in body, but just there is
the end of their rights. so far as hls
business is concerned. All there
things are part and parcel Of an ag-
gresslve purpose to injure the bust
ness of an employer that fails to agree

The doctor might great deal better
interview his wife and discover exact

If a man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all around. He should
take little strenuous physical exer-

While considerable number of our
fellow citizens celebrate the bicenten-
airy of the birth of John Wesley, gen.
eral attention is justly attracted to-
ward the remarkable family from
which that striking character de-
scended.
A more notable stock is scarcely to
be found in this modern age. Father
and sons contributed materially to
christian literature, while one of the
daughters wrote poetry which rises
sometimes to a higher level than any
produced by her father or brothers.
The mother was the dominant fig
lure Of the home. She was woman
OF vigor, common sense and faith.
She was equally concerned with the
intellectual and moral training Of her
children, who numbered nineteen.
Although educated in different
schools. the unity Of their religious
convictions was steadfastly maintained
largely by the mothers influence.
Charles Wesley, one of the greatest
of hymn writer's. was the eighteenth
child Of his parents. He is believed
to have written more than 5000
hymns, many of which will endure as
long as the sentiments they embody.
Perhaps his sisters talents would
have acquired greater spontaniety had
she been less encountered with cult
ure. She modelled her style too rig
orously upon Latin and Greek pat
terms, which are obviously i'll suited
to modern eyangelization.
A pathetic incident in the story Of
this remarkable family was their i'll
luck in marriage. Except Samuel
and Charles all of the WesleyS
married unhappily. Mehetabel Wes-
ley, her sensible mind stepped in clas-
sic lore, was married to plumber
who was both ignorant and debased.
With consistent patience and unre-
pining fortitude she bore her lot with
out revolt against the basic laws Of
the faith of which her family consti-
tuted the foundation stone.
1t is customary o look upon Charles
Wesley as prominently the poet of
the family and upon John as preemi-
nently the preacher. John Wesley
was himself an ardent poet and is one
of the few poets able to employ ex-
tensive learning with originality,
force and grace,
This fact must be ascribed in no
small measure to his aSSidiouS study
of German religious poetry, which
contains SO large an element Of folk
song and which blends power with
polish more than the religious verse
of any other people.
Wesley family supplies pict-
uresque and benign chapter in the
troubled course of the eighteenth Gen.
fury. The robust tree, many branch
ed, musical with poets voices and
melodies culled from many lands and
divers times, rises green and compan-
ionable, virile monument to piety

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
To OisproAe Facts. Il is Decidedly Easy
to Verify Plymouth Opinion.

Nothing by way of an introduction
can be added to the experiences and
opinions given below, which could in
crease their value. Plymouth people
can safely be left to draw theis own
conclusions based on such convincing
proof as this citizen offers. What is
there lacking in evidence like this to
satisfy a dyed-in-the-wool doubling

Mrs. Jane Martin, of 101S North
Center street says: II have had at
tacks of kidney complaint for long
time. When they occurred my back
ached across the loinS often so severe
ly that if attempted to stoop sharp
twinges through the kidneys were
sure to follow the movement. They
were so persistent and so stubborn to
resist the use of medicines and STAN
dard remedies that became despond-
ent and came to the conclusion that /
was doomed to suffer the rest of my
life. At last someone advised me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills and a box was
procured for me at J. w. Hess Drug
Store. A few doses convinced me
that they were going to the root Of
the trouble and a continuation Of the
treatment Tor some time stopped the
backache. This positively proves to
me that Doan's Lidney Pills can be
depended upon to oct as represented.

The striking freight handlers in
Chicago have issued circular giving
the names of a number of nonunionists
who have continued at work, and
calling on trades-people not to sell
food to their families. 1--WE would
ask that no groceries, meat or any of
the necessities of life be given or sold
to these mems families until they
wake up and become men" says the
circular. Attempting to coerce men
by starving their families is almost as
bad as government by injunction.

The figures of the new railroad mile.

The figures of the new railroad mile
age completed during the first half of
1908 show that the greatest extension
was in Oklahoma, 240 miles, next
Texas with 205 miles. All of the
older states were awav behind these,
even New York reporting only two
miles and half of new road. The
figures indicate that the principal
railway extension during the next few
years will probably be in the south
western and northwestern states.

ship, where he met with marked sue
cess.
Schuyler, with the aid of some Of
his friends corresponded with Con-
gresham Brick, regarding his desire
for the appointment, But on account
of the large number of candidates for
the position. Mr.. Brick concluded to
leave the choice to competitive ex-
animation which was held at Plym-
outh, on the 10Th of last April, and
which was conducted by three disin-
tereSted examiners Of whom Prof.
Redd, of this city was one. Here a
number of the ablest young men of the
district, several of them students of
noted schools competed for the ap-
poIntment. After the per cents were
made up, Schuyler Helm was declar-
ed the winner and was promptly re-
commended to the navy department
for appointment as cadet.
He has now successfully passed all
the examinations and Marshall county
is proud of him. Everybody has the
fullest confidence in his patriotism and
Integrity, and we hope that he may
live to graduate with honor from the
school which he has entered and be-
come one Of Americas famous naval
commanders.

St,nted Orchard Trees.

Stun1cd orchard trees are unproht-
able. Trees may he stunted from hav-
ing a dense sod growing under them.
Sometimes they are prevented from
developing we'll by deep plowing cut
ting off their feeding roots. Raising
other crops in the orchard may tax
the land too much or draw strongly
upon the moisture at the time it Is
needed for the trees. Sometimes trees
are injured by being allowed to over
bear-especially wnen they oyerbear
In dry seasons. Leaf blight will have
a dwarfing effect. Blight may be pre-
vented by proper spraying. Borers in
the trunks Of trees may sap their vital
ity. Worms feeding on the leaves IN
summer will exhaust trees. If the
plot has been used many years for an
orchard the trees may have exhausted
the land. Clearly the use of fertilizer
would have prevented this trouble. II
YOUR orchard trees are lacking In vigor,
investigate. Some Of these things may
have caused the trouble.
