Washington.-That Japan is pre-
pairing to nationalize all the industries
of the country is indicated by advices
received by the bureau of manufac-
lures. This move, which is one of the
greatest experiments in the worlds
history, includes the protection, super
vision and development of the various
lines of business, all under the direct
charge of the government. The pro-
vision for the naturalization of the
railways is only a single step in the
great plan.
The question of Manchurian devel-
opment has received careful attention,
and now it is proposed that a COM
pany shall be formed by the govern
ment and private capitalists jointly
for operating the railways, mines and
forests there Americans who are
striving for the trade of the orient
will discover that they are in COM
mercial conflict with the Japanese ma
ton itself

ing companies has been formed to
capture the Manchurian trade The

to that of the rural mail carrier, only
it is not brilliant with red paint and
it is covered with religious inscrip-
tons.
Mr.. Hess went into this Sunday
school work six years ago, with his
pockets empty, but he was fired with
the hope that seems to fill every kind
of mission worker. E. A. K. Hackett,
of Fort Wayne, started a movement
which resulted in a good outfit for Mr..
Hess-a strong horse, a good set of
harness and a substantial, comfort
able wagon, which can be driven in
all kinds of weather and over all
kinds of country roads. Mr.. Hackett
also keeps this gospel wagon" sup
piled with song books, which the mis-
sionary uses in his Sunday schools.
A variety of literature is stacked up
in shelves in the Hess wagon, but the
chief stock is Bibles. The Bibles are
substantially bound in cloth, printed
in minion type and the covers are of
dark red, that the book may be more
attractive to children. In six years
Mr.. Hess has found 500 families in
the ten counties of his district who
had no Bible. He had found boys Is
years old who had never been inside
of a Sunday school.

BOOKS FOR GREAT COMMANDER.

Many Subjects.

In 1908 Napoleon formed the idea OF
having travelling library in order to
make his hours of intellectual recre-
alton independent of the exigencfes
of campaign or the delays q q
courier.
The proposed library was to form
about a thousand volumes. The books
were to be of small duodecimo size,
printed in good type, and without mar
gins in order to save space. They
were to be bound in morocco, with
flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to
be covered with leather and lined with
green velvet, and were to average
60 volumes apiece, in two rows like
the shelves in a library. A catalogue
was to accompany them, so arranged
that the emperor could readily find
any desired volume. The distribution
of subjects was as follows: Forty
volumes on religion, 40 of epic poetry,
40 of the drama, 60 volumes of other
poetry, 60 volumes of history and
100 novels. I'm order to complete
the quota" ran the instructions, the

Beef Exports Failing Short.

Washington.-Compl figures of
the exports of American canned meats
for the past fiscal year are shown in
a statement issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The
valued of canned meats exported from
the United States in June, 1906, was
$461, 900, against $797, 127 in June, 1905.
and in the fiscal year 1906, So, 233. 41O,

ures for the fiscal year 1906 include
canned beef, $6,43O,4 46; canned pork,
S1,215,S57; other canned meats, ST.

The quantity of canned beef export
ed in the fiscal year was ga. 523. 359
pounds. as against 66,6SS, SOS pounds
in 1905.
The reduction in exports occurred
almost exclusively in the shipments
to Japan, which country took large
ly of American canned beef during the
war, but Greatly reduced her importa-
ton on the disbanding of the army.
The exports of canned beef to Japan
in the fiscal year 1906 we're 2.306 $50

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

Winona Lake, Ind.-One of the
most peculiar and interesting conven-
lions of the year will be held here in
August, when the Indiana field work
ers of the American Sunday School
union, and perhaps 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 a 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 it has
spent $4,000, 900 for Bibles and other
been distributed free in the remote
regions of American civilization.
1t pays no salaries to it's 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
less of religious beliefs.

Forests Falling Fast.

Finally the lumbermen can see the
beginning of the end. They have been
leveling the forests and converting
them into money. Now they have ar
rived at the point where they can con-
ceive that soon there will be no more
g.sat primeval forests to cut down.
The lumbermen have been doing lit
tie figuring. They have estimated that
there is 1.475. 600. 900, 900 feet of lumber
standing in the United States The
quantity which is cut every year
amounts to 100000, 900 feet. 1t is
q deduction easily made that It will
require only S3 years to consume the
present supply. The lumbernien are
beginning to clamor for government
assistance to save their business. They
request that the expectation of logs
shall be prohibited and that all tree
plantations shall be exempt from tax
alton. 1t is clear that some such
measures must soon be taken, says the
Cleveland Leader. But it is doubtful,
however. that those recommended by
the lumbermen will in themselves
prove to be effectual. Additional and
stronger protective laws will probably
be found necessary.

cupy the handsome estate of Willow
Dale. The statue of "Old Hickory" has
a fine historic record, which was little
thought of by the vandals, who

which stood nearly SO years at the
entrance of the Dale, was originally

Way back on July 2, 1884, the head

was yet on the Constitution, and for

of a wood carver in Boston, where it

of knowledge of the Bible in this old
settled region of the state. But there
has been mission work done among
the poor and ignorant in this part OF
Indiana, for in Wabash county have
tcInd tracts which were distributed

Mr.. Hess has started Sunday
school in an abandoned country

sent out eight ministers of the COS
pei. Five years ago he opened a
school in one neighborhood, and q
girl of IA years old Immediately be-
came it's mainstay. She is now the
efficient superintendent of the school.
In one little town of his territory
Mr. Hess found a church that had
been abandoned. He obtained per
mission to use the structure, spent
two days in driving to the homes OF
Al families, and on the next Sabbath
opened a school. When the mission
airy first entered this town the word

buried her husbands fish nets in the

held a series of meetings in this place
