ARE PLANTING TREES

Co-Operator editor was in Wood County, his old home, last week. The Locals of that county lave adopted a very pretty custom, which it is hoped will be adopted by every Local Union throughout the entire jurisdiction. It is the custom of planting trees on the grounds of the school houses whera the Locals are held.
 This custom was started by Mills Springs Local, two miles north of Min. cola. Our good friend, J. w. Park drove us by the school house and show. cd us the beautiful sycamore trees which had been planted by the mem. hrrs of the Local Union. They had also inclosed the school grounds with , new fence II will be only few years till these grounds will be beaatl. z. Co behold.
 It is to be hoped that every Local Union throughout the entire iarisdic- ton will adopt this beautiful custom If tree planting. In the years to come when the school grounds are thus made beautiful, it would surely be great joy 10 all Union members to know that it was done by and because of the Farmers Union.
 Hundreds of new school houses and churches have been built and hundreds of others have been repaired because CT from week to week, from month to month, the members of Local Un- ions see the necessity of building new houses and the repairing of old ones The evidence Is everywhere that the Locals are building up the neighbor- hood as no other influence has ever done. There are better churches. bet. ter Sunday schools. better singing classes, better morals in all respects than before the organization of the Farmers Iuion.-National Co-OPefa tor.

 A New Side of College Life.
 Picked up in the forest of facts amid which l found myself, is the news that Yale university has established mis- sionary lectureship, with Prof. Harlan r. Beach, an missionary, as incum- bent; and that Yale, Harvard, Prince ton and the University of Pennsyl- vania all now have foreign mission en. terprises of their own manned by graduates and supported by alumni and students.
 On the foreign field-to make a big iump-there are now 400 translations of the Bible. Of native converts the American missionaries claim half a million. while the total native Chris. tian population of so-called heather lands is million and half
 Hard Knocks for the Missionaries.
 Quite different are the stories l hear in other quarters. One of the higher officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship company assured me, as one who knows, that the mission aries are a lot of grafters. But. he added with the characteristic com mercial spirit of the day T do not want to see their graft stopped, for it pays us to carry them
 A Hong-Kong merchant aboard ship declared that the missionaries are pack of scoundrels.

that the missionary is a sort of pious bunco man; that he is not wanted where he works. that he is an unmiti- gated nuisance. and that he is keenly alert to the welfare of number one.
 Contrariwise vastly larger num- Der of persons. in every part ot the land, firmly believe. and support their conviction by their coin, that the mis- sionary is a saint and q hero, and the selfless servant of a thankless world welfare. All criticism of him they sweepingly resent; and are loath 10 hear aught to his dispraise. The apotheosis of the missionary is char acteristic of modern religions life.
 On Still Hunt for Facts.
 Curiously enough, the public hears only these two opinions of the mts- sionary, one of which represents him as a scoundrel or fool, the other of which exalts him as a demigod. So far as 1 am aware, nobody has ever set out, independently, and represent ing no board, society or cause, to ind out, impartially, the exact facts Tn the case. This is the mission l have un- dertaken My journalistic integrity IS pledged to the duty of ascertainine, without favor or fear. exactly what sort of person the missionary Is, how he works and amid what conditions, and whether the task he has imposed upon himself is worth doing at all, and if so. whether he is doing it well.
 To that end l shall personally ex- anime. on the ground, representative enterprises of all denominaUonal and nndenominational missions. l shall at tempt to study the workers them, selves. and hear their own side of the story. With equal diligence l shall consult qualified native opinion and search out the foremost foreign critics and ascertain their views.

 The Largest American Business

 The biggest single foreign enter prise in which America is engaged is this one of foreign missions. The rest of the world, and especially the Orient knows the Western Continent chiefly by it's missionaries. Figured in dol lars. the business last year cost the American public $5S07, ,165. paid in by an organization with approximately l2,00O 900 shareholders of all religious denominations, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Mormon.
