To Create a village Of Farms.

To possess beautiful home in the
country without the isolation of ordinary
farm life and without the expensive
equipment and hired service that are nee
essary to make country estate either
practicable or profitable, is the aim of
group of New York business and profess
sional men of liberal proclivities. From
statement published by one of their
number in the Englewood, N. j., Northern
Valley Bulletin, it appears that they have
conceived the idea of organizing a club
OF country home seekers before determin-
ing upon the precise location of their
homes. The new feature of this move
ment is that these people want to insure
certain kind and degree of social and
intellectual intercourse through free in
terchange and personal acquaintance be-
fore becoming neighbors. BY limited CO.
operation they expect to reduce the cost
of a number of small farm homes within
committing distance of the city. A large
tract of land will be so divided as to en-
able the owners of the small pieces to To-
cate desirable building sites in cluster
with their lands outlying and with park
OF green held for common use as sort
of village center. A general storehouse
will be established for the sake of CO.
operative buying of necessary utensils,
furnishings, provisions, etc. They will
employ an expert agriculturist at good
salary and one set of implements, wagons,
horses, etc. Thus it is expected that
the building, blowing, harvesting and
marketing of surplus products may be
attended to in the best manner at the
lar carriage or automobile service to and
from all trains on a cost basis. One Of
tine chief hopes is that such neighbor-
hood will provide an ideal environment
for the rearing of healthy and right
minded children

ASSEMBLY OF PRESBYTERIANs,
Many Important Questions Consid-
cred at the Des Moines Meeting.

Many Important Questions Consid-
cred at the Des Moines Meeting.
Desperate assaults on the Westmin-
ster confession of faith, efforts to pre-
vent a merger of two branches of the
church, attacks on the new prayer book
and campaign to forbid ministers
marrying divorced persons threatened
to make Des Moines battle-ground for
Presbyterianism. The one hundred and
seventeenth general assembly of the
church opened in that city with momen-
tOus questions up for settlement. Two
hundred and forty-one presbyteries
were represented in the session. Their
communicates number 1,115,662.
After the most exciting election in the
history of the Presbyterian general as
sembly, for a quarter of a century at
least, Rev. DR.. Hunter Corbett, a mis-
sionary from China, was unanimously
elected moderator. There were five
candidates.
The assembly was opened with a
sermon by DR.. Moffat, upon the mis-
sion of the Presbyterian church. This
he declared to be the evangelization of
the whole world, and the development
in the members of the Presbyterian
church of the highest type of Christian
character, and to maintain and i'm
prove the agencies of that church.
The hottest fight centered on the
Westminster confession. BY one of its
opponents the Scotch creed as accepted
by the Presbyterian church is declared
to be the worst lie of all the big, bad
iies of the world"
Animated debate occupying much of
the time of the ten days session was
had on the question of the admission
of the Cumberland branch, for many of
the foremost Presbyterians at the South
| were opposed to the union, while those
| in favor of the merger advised modera-
| ton in the treatment of the minority.
Talk even could be heard of legal in
functions in the federal court to pre-
vent the union.
The Cumberland branch is the out
growth of the presbyteries of Kentucky
ard Tennessee, which, 100 years ago,
objected to the doctrinal statement of
the Westminster confession concerning
divine sovereignty and human freedom.
A heated contest has been under way
over the proposed adoption of the new
prayer book, which Rev. Henry Van
Dyke prepared. There is violent oppo-
sition to any change of this sort on the
ground that 1t is an attempt to fix a
ritual and liturgy on a church which
always has contended for freedom OF
worship.
A plan proposed to the assembly was
the ministerial sustentation" idea, for
the relief of superannuated ministers

SWEPT BY FOREST FIRES.

Flames Rage Over Large Territory
I'm Michigan and Wisconsin.
Half score of towGs and villages have
been wiped out by forest fires, which are
raging in the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan and contiguous portions of Wiscon-
sin. Driven by = gale the flames already
have burned over 200 square miles OF
territory.
Towns in Michigan and Wisconsin
known to have been destroyed, with their
populations, are as follows: Quinnisec

400: Auburndaie, 900; Schafer, 6O0 Sal.
vote, 200; Woodlawn, 200; Saunders

In addition to the villages burned q
number of lumber camps have been de
stroyed and the men from several OF
them have not been heard from. From
one of the camps of the I. Stephenson
Company the men, mounted on fifty draft
horses, raced ahead of the fire for twelve
miles, finally reaching Cornell, barely
ahead of the line of flames. They leaped
aboard a relief train, on which the las:
of the citizens of the place had taken
could see the wall of fire sweeping owe,
the houses, while the horses which hid
brought them to safety fed wildly through
the forest ahead of the blaze.
The amount Of damage done by the fire
is incalculable. Millions of feet of cut
timber have been burned, sawmills swept
away and hundreds OF square miles OF
trees either consumed or ruined. In the
towns alone the damage will not be less
than $1,0O0,00O, and in the surrounding
territory it must total several times that
amount.
The fire extends from twenty miles
above Menominee, almost to Escanaba and
Marquette, covering the greater portion
of four counties. In addition smaller
fires are raging in other sections which
threaten to become as destructive as the
great one. Reports from Ontario show
that forest fires also are raging there.

FARMERS WOULD COMBINE.
Leader Says Object of Pact Is to
Keen Prices Same All Year.


The American Society of Equity, an
organization composed of farmers in In
diana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and other
States of the Northwest, has called a
convention to meet in the Great Northern
hotel in Chicago June II and 13, at which
time another organization, to be known
as the marketing association, will be
formed. 1t is to be composed of farmers
and Its object is to market all kinds OF
perishable vegetables and fruits and also
butter, eggs, poultry and all kinds OF
dairy products. 1t is proposed to control
the supply of all products till the mar
kets are ready for it and in this way bring
to the producers all the benefits that are
derived by others from storing vegetables,
fruits, eggs and the like at a time OF plen-
ty and low prices for a time OF scarcity
and high prices. 1t is distinctly stated
that the new organization is not to be
trust, but it is proposed to eliminate the
individual as a marketer of his products
and market them through the association,
though they may reach the consumer uiti-
mately through the same channels as now.
Speaking of the object of the new organ
izations, the presidency of the American
Society of Equity says: Zone of the re-
suits of the new system of marketing Will
be greater uniformity of prices and an in
creased consumption of all products COM
prised in the class over which this pro-
posed association will have control. For
instance, the producers themselves or
their association will control the supply
until the demand is ready for 1t. Then
there will be no 10-cent eggs in the sum-
mer and 80 cents in the winter. But
only enough eggs will be marketed during
the harvest season to supply the demand
at fair prices, say Is or 20 cents The
balance will go into storage for the pro-
ducers' account, or in storehouses owned
by the producers, and will come on the
market In the winter at about % cents
a dozen. The uniform and moderate
prices will induce much larger consump-
f;or

shocks were caused by an explosion at the
Rand & Latin powder mills, located in
Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha county. Mes
sages from that place state that the glase
and press rooms and the Corning mill
were blown to pieces, involving loss of
perhaps $4,000. Windows in houses
throughout the village were broken and
some damage done, but there was no loss
Of life. The main mills are intact and can
