LIVELY FIGHT IN
 BAPTIST CIRCLES
"HARDSHELLv DENOMINATION IS DIVIDED OVER USE OF ORGANS IN CHURCH AND LIFE INSUR- ANCE.

Atlanta, September 30.A lively fight has arisen in the councils of the Primi- tive or ''Hardshell" Baptists of Geor- gia, four of the leading churches having been thrown out of the association at the recent annual convention of the Echo connee division at Salem, in this state. over the use of organts in the service and the taking out of insurance by members of the church.
 This situation has developed through the controversy which started at Culloden church. some of whose members are op- posed to the use of organs or any other music whatsoever in the church, and con- slider it an affront to God and sin un- pardonab ble to take the insurance on prop erty or human life, especially on church buildings They also believe in foot-wash- ing, but believe in it's being done privately in the homes rather than publicly in church.
 The strict members of the association do not believe in having Sunday school. be- lieve in no semnaries for the education of preachers and consider it wrong to have missionary or other secretaries m the church. Anyone belonging to se- cret order is deprived of church fellow ship, and the old custom of washing each others feet prevails Both sides to the controversy claim to represent the real Primitive Baptist forces.
 At the recent meeting the matter was brought up with regard to the use of an organ by Sharon church and resulted in the split. It is stated that the faction op- posing organs, insurance, etc., is In the majority, but as yet the split is in its incipiency.

SUPREME COURT OPENS
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER ANNOUNCES
WORK FOR OCTOBER TERM.
Calendar Contains 4S1 Cases and Will
Be Kept Busy for Some
Weeks.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA
The supreme court of the United States
began its October term today with the
chief justice and all of the associate JUS
tees present. Chief Justice Fuller ex-
planned the usual practice of the court
to be to call upon the President of the
United States as the only business of
the first day of the term. In the absence
of the President he indicated that the
court would be very happy to begin bust
ness at once by receiving motions and he
suggested that motions Tor admission to
the bar be first made.
The court room was crowded with
attorneys and spectators and acting upon
this suggestion thirty-one motions for ad
mission to the bar were made and the
applicants sworn in.
The calendar of the court contains 4S1
cases, which is a considerably lerger per-
centage of business than has confronted
the court at the beginning of any pre-
vious term. Beside receiving the new at
torneys the court entertained motions re-
garding twenty-siX pending cases and
four motions from the department of
justice.

A Chinese Solomon.

Two Cinnamon, brothers, we'll ad-
yanced in years, quarreled over piece
Of land which they had Jointly Inherit
ed from their father and went to law.
The native magistrate heard the testi-
mony on both sides and determined
that both were wrong and both right,
according to the different points Of
view. Therefore, instead of rendering
q Judgment in favor Of either, he order
ed that both be locked up in a cangue
with their heads fastened face to
face and kept there until they settled
their quarrel. The cangue is sort of
cage in which prisoners are placed
with their necks locked into hole in
a board. It resembles somewhat the
stocks which were used for the pun
ishment Of malefactors IN olden times
When the brothers were placed in the
cangue, they were both very stubborn
and indignant, but toward the end Of
the second day they began to weaken
and on the third day reached salts
factory settlement and were released.

PROUD BUT PLAIN PORTLAND.
Millions, Millions Everywhere, but Not a
Teens in Buttons.

Portland, in Oregon has q new claim
to attention. At least it is but newly
pointed out to the notice of the east by
a correspondent of The Manufacturers
Record. According to this gentleman,
mot one of the forty millionaires of
Portland has a liveried servantw
As the correspondent himself says,
"this is an illuminating fact" He con-
tinues:
"Only in their flower gardens are the
people of Portland given to display.
There is real rivalry among house own
ers as to who can show the most beautl
full flowers. and as the climate here is
particularly favorable to roses the
wealth of roses is so great that Portland
has taken the name of the Rose city.
There is a rose festival in June, with
parades of rose covered vehicles, and
all the people give several days to the
worship of this queen of the flowers.
Another side light on the character
of the people here is the fact that no
liquors are sold at the social clubs on
Sunday.
ct is a clean, orderly city, a city of
cheerful, busy people, with handsome
though rarely pretentious homes, with
well paved streets and imposing business
buildings, many of them of steel and
concrete of the skyscraper order. 1t is
an American city, furthermore, % per
cent. of the population having been born
in the United States"

EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
Of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way Of cooking cereals
results in pasty mass that Is hard to
digest, and If not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down into the intestinal
tract where gas Is generated and trou-
BILE follows.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body we'll, while
poor food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed, Is sure to bring on some kind OF
disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory, some IL to 16 hours being con-
sumed in the different processes Of prep
aration. The food, therefore, Is ready
for instant service and the starch has
been changed to a form Of Sugar, so
that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use Of food that
was not suitable to her powers Of di-
gestion. She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts, and
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
1 finally decided to try the food but l
have not known what indigestion is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health. I have in

People can be well, practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the indigestible sort.
There's a Reason"
Grape-Nuts Food Is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. 1t should be served
exactly as it comes from the package,

it is made up into buildings and other

Wrecked Steamer Cypress at
Grand MaraiS.

GRAND MARAIS, Mich, Oct. a.
Especial. l--Nineteen bodies have been re-
covered from the wreck OF the steamer
Cypress. They were found on the
beach. Each body had a life preserver
on, but it was evident that the victims
had died from exposure in the cold waters
of the lake before they could reach shore.
All the bodies have now been recovered
except those of Capt. Huyck and two
hremen.
The Cypress lies in ninety fathoms of
miles north of Deer park. 1t is now
known definitely that the wreck was due
to the shifting of the iron ore cargo,
which caused the steamer to list and
take in water around the matches.
Capt. Huyck's wife and >wo children,
who were thought to have been on the
Cypress when she was wrecked, left the
boat when IL arrived at Superior and are
now at st. Paul.

to be as follows:

into the sea, some with life preservers.

FARGO, N. D., Oct. 14.-Because of
the high prices being paid for all. ce-
those of the Red River valley, are re-
ceiving greater returns from their crops
this year than for any of the last half
dozen seasons. Outside the famous val
ley the actual yield was not SO large as
last season, but it was taken off cheaply
and the farmers are realizing heavily.
Wheat is selling at more than 81 per
bushel at all stations in the state and at
some barley has almost reached that fig
ure, while flax ranging away above those
figures and oats and corn are bringing
higher prices than ever before in the his
