at Uzovka and elsewhere, the govern

mission of mining representatives to
act in concert with the new official of
the district. His jurisdiction embraces
Yekaterinoslav province, the southern
part of Kharkov and parts of the Don

Convention Planned by Field Work
ers at Winona Lake for Purpose
of Spreading the Gospel in
Rural Districts.


Winona Lake, lnd.-One of the
most peculiar and interesting conven-
tions of the year will be held here in
August, when the Indiana field work
ers of the American Sunday School
union, and perhaps a number from
other states, will hold the first con
ference the Indiana workers have
ever held. 1t will bring together nine
men from this state, who are seldom
seen and heard by the people of cities
and larger towns. but they are men
who. in the sparsely settled regions
of the state, are better known than
the carriers on the rural mail routes.
1t is the business of these field work
ers to go among class of people that
would not otherwise hear of the Bible
and quicken their interest in the book
The chief purpose of the Sunday
School union is to get copies of the
Bible In these homes, and with this
purpose is closely linked that of or
ganizing Sunday schools at points
convenient for the poor of the rural
districts.
The American Sunday School union
with headquarters In Philadelphia
was organized in 1924, and 1t has
spent s10.O0O,OOO for Bibles and other
religious literature. all of which has
been distributed free in the remote
regions of American civilization.
II pays no salaries to its field men,
who live as best they can from free
will offerings of the people among
whom they work, and their lot Is
harder than that of the old-time cir
cult rider, who rode his horse from
settlement to settlement when In
diana was young. The field men seek
the crossroads points, and there open
the Sunday schools, using blacksmith
shops, granaries or any kind of build
ing that will offer shelter from the
weather, and In these Sunday schools
are gathered the men, women and
children of the neighborhood. regard

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
tracedto some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. baclxache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS. sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:

what splendid medicine it is"

means of support and no place to sleep
comes under that general classical
ton. Whether he is anxious to steal or
anxious to work is quite immaterial;
if he has no job and no home and no
money, he is vagrant, and his inten-
tons count for little or nothing. A

would like to discriminate occasion

lem of transportation very prominent
ly to the front, and there is railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway in
operation in that country, and
conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of con-
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in very few years the agricul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead of "a Hundred Million Bushel

refer to the crop as $500, 100000 BUSH
