ROOF GARDEN CHURCH.
Doors of Chicago Edihce to BE
Open Night and Day.

Doors of a Chicago Ediflce to BE
Open Night and Day.
The members of the Metropolitan
Church of Christ in Chicago will build
magnificent place of worship at Oak
ley boulevard and Van Buren street,
and one Of it's features will be a roof
garden, says the Kansas City ,Ames.
"If the theatrical folk can make a
Roof garden so popular why cannot the
people Of the church?' asked the pas
tor.
And the people answered, "We can"
This Christian roof garden is to be
modelled after those where pleasure is
the only thought. 1t is to surmount a
magnificent building. The cost Of the
latter is placed at $8O,O00. Gardeners
and florists are to be called to do all in
their power to enhance the roofs beau
ty. 1t is not intended to make the
place interesting wholly by the preach
ing of sermons.
All church entertainments are to be
held on the roof garden. There quar-
tets will sing and musicians play
throughout the summer months. An
other feature Of this new church is the
fact that its doors are never to be
closed.
"Whats the use Of having place of
worship that is closed six-sevenths Of
the time?" demanded the Rev. Charles
Reign Scoville, the pastor
'"There is no use," answered his con-
gregation. And it was decided never to
close the doors.
That means all departments of the
church will be wide open. Any one
feeling a bit too wideawake to seek
sleep can visit the library at any hour
Of the night and there find literature
There is but one roof garden church in
the world, and the Metropolitan roof
garden place of worship will be the
first of its kind in Chicago. The audi
torium will be Is by 116 feet. A large
gallery will increase its seating ca
pacity. The new church will also have
a large gymnasium. 1t is not the inten-
ton to allow only the members Of the
church to use this. The boys and girls
Of the neighborhood, whether they are
members of any church, will be invited.
The musical department will be unusu
ally strong. 1t is expected the concerts
will do much to make the roof garden
a popular place in the hot summer
months.

Saved the Situation.

Not long a ago manager Of q
Paris theater who was giving gala
performance sent a note to a news
paper, saying that evening clothes
were de rigueur. An American
tourist, who had left his dress suit
home, had rented a box, and asked
the manager to let him appear in a
sack coat. "Impossible!" said the
manager. "Then give back the
money" ;" said the American. "Again
impossible. The money has been al
ready deposited" The American,
getting angry, refused to hire suit.
An inspiration came to the per-
picked manager. ''Dear sir, permit
mel" he cried. owe are of the same
size. l have three suits; accept one,
1 beg you" The situation was
saved, and the American was pres
ent that night. Now he and the
manager are the best of friends.

TruthfuIness of Animals.

No writer of natural history has
ever satisfactorily explained how it
happens that the lower animals are
so much superior to mankind in the
matter of truthfulness. Birds and
dogs have been known to steal, but
when found out they have never
been known to tell lies about it. In
deed it is proved by the few authen-
tic cases on record where animals
have spoken that the quadrupeds
were more keenly alive to the neces-
sites of truth than their masters

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
This Years Yield the Largest In the
States History.

This Years Yield the Largest In the
States History.
The Kansas state board of agricul-
ture recently issued crop bulletin de-
voted especially to wheat, says To-
peka dispatch to the New York Trib-
une. Tabulated returns Of assessors
for each of the 105 counties in the
state show the total winter wheat area
this year to be 5,911 ,O91 acres, and re-
ports from thrashers, millers, growers
and others indicate that the yield will
average slightly more than 17.2 bush
els an acre. or a total for the state of
9O,27OOOO bushels. AS the ripening of
the grain and harvest were somewhat
delayed by the continuous cool, wet
weather, thrashing likewise WAS begun
later than usual, but is rapidly pro-
crossing now, though none has been
done in many neighborhoods as yet,
and reports Of yields are variable.
This years total production is great
er by 66 per cent, or 80, 200 bushels,
than that of 1902 and surpasses even
the 1901 yield of 9O,045,514 bushels,
making the largest crop in Kansas his
tory. No state has ever even equaled
the total Kansas wheat production OF
1900, according to the United States
Of agriculture, and this
years yield is better than that of 19C0
by 1S per cent and 1901 by 175 per
cent. In these three years Kansas
raised winter wheat aggregating total
of 257,OOO,OOO bushels, or an average Of
85 100000 bushels a year.

4. {. |, IS The ONLY
HOPE
Southern Promises Nothing
to Relieve Goldsboro and
Selma Situation

Yesterday morning at ten O'Clock sew
eral general officials of the Southern Rail
way and the General Superintendent of
the Atlantic Coast Line met with the Cor
poration Commission and conferred to-
gether regarding the Goldsboro and Selma
connections and the schedule of trains be-
tween Goldsboro and Greensboro.
The net result of the conference was
that the Atlantic Coast Line promises to
get to Selma a half hour earlier if it can
put the main line schedule a half hour
earlier at Richmond. The Southern does
rot promise any relief, even condltionally,
from the present dislocation at Goldsboro
and Selma.
There were present at the meeting. for
the Southern, General Manager G. H.
Ackert. General Passenger Agent w. A.
Turk, Assistant to First VicePresident
Henry W. Miller, and General superin-
tendent J. T. Collins; for the Atlantic
Coast Line, Superintendent of Transpor
tation E. Borden.
Superintendent Borden said that they
could not make the run to Selma thirty
minutes earlier, unless they could get the
Richmond earlier As it is now only few
times do they make the trip on schedule
time. He promised that at the semi-an-
nual meeting of the road in Washington
on November 9Th, they would see if it was
not possible to have the r. F. and p get
out of Washington a half hour earlier, 50
that the A. G.. l.. could leave Richmond
half an hour earlier.
The Southern's representatives said that
they had been running between Selma
and Greensboro so fast as to make it pos
itively dangerous and it was out of the
question for them to make the running
time any faster.
Agetnleman last night talking of this
matter said that the Corporation Com
mission ought to wait until November
9Th, and see if anything came of the A.
c. l.. meeting. If not, they should then
issue an order to compel that road and
the Southern to make these connections
at Goldsboro and Selma.

HAIRY VETCH.

We would suggest some caution in the
sowing of the hairy vetch 1t is all
right as a forage crop and soil improver,
and also as a winter and early spring
pasture. But we would be very careful
to cut 1t as soon as III bloom on land
where we expected to grow winter grain
crops, for If you let the seed ripen you
will certainly have the ground seeded
and the vetch reappearing in the fall.
Then if the wheat crop Is on the ground
the vetch may seriously injure the crop.
Never allow 1t to seed except where YOU
want 1t TO reseed the land and come
again in the fall. 1t will give no trou
bic in the summer culture of hoed crops
but will certainly show itself in the
wheat or winter oats field. 1t is true
that at the present price of hay in the
South the crop of wheat and vetch is far
more valuable as hay than for grain.
We cut a piece of wheat and vetch hay.
this summer which made nearly two
tons per acre, worth on the home mar
ket, $50 per ton. 1t would take Big
wheat crop of grain to beat it at the
present price for grain. Then, too, get
ting this crop off early we got COW peas
on the land and will have at }east two
ing nearly four tons of the best of hay
toy the season, and we hope to get the
peas off in time to prepare the land foI
alfalfa this fall. North Carolina, as the
statistics prove, has averaged more hay
per acre for the past ten years than
Iowa, not because her lands are better,
fof they certainly are not. but because
or a greater rainfall and long season
that favors double cropping. And yet
North Carolina farmers, where hay Is
worth $50 to $50 per ton, make little
hay compared with Iowa, where the land
Is far more valuable and the price OF
hay far lower. II Iowa had the rainfall
and the long season of the Carolnas
it would be hard to imagine how much
hay she would produce, and how many
more cattle she would feed

Talks With Farm rs.

With alfalfa seed at $40 or more per
Sushel il is probable that check will
be pct to the increased sowing of the
seed in the East. We regret the high
price, for the sowing of this crop in the
East and the successful culture of the
crop is very important matter, and we
would be sorry to see the growth of the
culture checked by high prices. The
continuous wet weather has had bad
effect on the alfalfa that we have seen,
and much of it has suffered severely
from this cause, and going into winter
in weakened condition may be disas-
tIous in the Middle States.
