One Of the advantages
of Grape Nuts food is
that it is pre- -digested in
the process Of manufac-
ture.
The starch contained
in the wheat and barley
is transformed into
grape sugar by exactly
the same method as this
process is carried on in
the human body, that is,
by the use Of moisture
and long exposure to
moderate warmth. This
grows the diastase in
the grains, then long
baking completes the re
markable change from
starch to grape sugar.
Therefore, the most
delicate stomach can
handle Grape Nuts and
the food is quickly ab-
sorbed into the blood

ter or time OF sowing is that it may
be sowed when the cotton is laid by
or even earlier, and it will not get
too large during the fall. The seeds
are slow in starting and are not like
ly to show much before October, even
though the seed are sowed in July.
Winter Cover Crops and all Flowing.
There has been much said about
the advantage of blowing the land in
the fall in preparing for cotton and
corn the following year. The writer
is believer in the advantage of fall
blowing and he is also believer in
the advantage of winter cover crops
in the fall, and these ideas, in meas
ure, conflict. For instance, if the
land is plowed in the fall it is nearly
impossible to have legume for a
winter crop, although it is possible
to use winter grains for that purpose.
Oats, barley, wheat, or rye can be
sowed after the fall blowing is done
and these will prevent the washing
of the soil during the winter months
and will add some humus to the SOIL
The farmer must be his own judge
as to what plan to follow. 1t is good
to plow in the fall and to have a
cover of winter grain which can be

The silly sentiment aiming towards
q recall of the"Ole Blue back Speller'
will have to proceed without at least
this one EDITORS endorsement. Con-
stitutionally we are opposed to ret
degradation in anything. The old
blue-back was laid upon the shelf for
very good reasons, E., that more
modern textbooks on photography
with short cuts to induct the stu
dent into thorough conversance with
the gentle art of spelling that most
trying of languages, the English,
were evolved. The reason why, in
our opinion, that the spelling abill-
ties of the educated classes has let
down so woefully is not due to the
kind of book used, but the indiffer-
eat instruction and drilling that
that branch of the literary inrubbing
of the scholar, has received. When.
SIMPLER and easier books and meth
DDS were adopted to induct the pu-
pill into the SPELLING art, the peda-
gogs reasoned that now we can with
snch improved facilities produce good
spoilers with but little trouble. and
so we will devote the time and effort
formerly expended along that line

Of tue numerous other studies which
have outcropped with the age. Thor
oughness in the instruction is the

spelling. The teachers that can hon.

the exceptions, not the rule. and they
deserve praise for their very excep-
tionability, for from it has come a
few good spoilers in this era.

divisions Of American Christendom
cannot be perpetuated here
The present enrolled membership
of the Protestant churches of Japan
by the way, is about $4,000, the past
year showing an apparent decrease
through an error, it is claimed, in the
statistics. Long before the churches
of American got together in New
York in the Interchurch Confer.
ence on Federation, there existed q
soundly established federal organiZa
ton here, "the Standing Committee OF
Cooperating Missions" which has eff
fected several practical results, in
Guiding the production of common
hymn book for all the Japanese
churches.
Where the Conflict Comes.
The paradoxical statement is true
broadly speaking, that while the rela-
tons between the individual mission
airy and the individual Japanese Chris
tian have been cordial, the relations
between the missions and the native
churches have been strained.
The crux of the question has been
the control of the forces and the
funds The missionary and his per.
sonal helpers have worked in and for
the local congregations, but the latter
have had no control over them. The
missionary is entirely outside the Jul
risdiction Of the native church. He
works when and where and how he
pleases, or as his mission directs. So
toe, the evangeiists employed by the
missionary are governed in the matter
of salary and labor entirely by the

There is nothing worth more to
the country in general than an in
crease per acre of farm products. The
question should not be how many a
ores can | work, but how much net
per acre can get from my farm. 1T
would be great deal better for the
farmer if he could so work as to get
as much corn or cotton off of ten a
ores as he gets off of twenty. We
doubt whether there is a single acre
of land in the state of Mississippi
which is producing as much as it
could produce. Strive to increase the
net amount from each acre worked
and not increase the number of acres.
There is scarcely farmer in the state
who is not trying to cultivate more
land than he is able to properly work
Farming is just like every thing else,
the better work Gone the better the
results will be. Every farmer should
strive to get a better net return for
the labor he does. Then the country
will be truly prosperous

Toxic, Japan-That many or most
Japanese Christians say no more for
sign missionaries are wanted in Japan,
and that numbers of the strongest
missionary leaders agree with them,
at least to the extent of saying that
no new forces should be sent out for
the present. is the rather sensational
conclusion to which / have been
forced after six weeks study of the
missionary situation here.
A grave crisis confronts the mig
sions in Japan. How serious it is
the church people in America have
no conception. That an open rupture
between the missions and the jap
anese churches has been narrowly
avertsd, and Ia still a dangerous pos
sibility, is freely admitted on all sides.
The gravity Of the situation is recog.
nized by everybody concerned It
affects present religious conditions in
the empire, but, more important still,
1t has a bearing upon the future of
Christian missions in almost every
country in the world. The questions
that are up for settlement here and
now will constitute precedent for
all other mission lands. The very
magnitude of the crisis has sobered
All parties concerned, so that the bit
terness and hostilities which marked
the earlier stages of the controversy
are passing away, and on every side
the extreme views are being modified.
Japanese Churches Assert Themselves.
The present tense situation has it's
tap root in the spirit of Japanese ma

The Time to PLANT.

So little has been done in this mat
ter of growing winter cover crops be
tween the rows of cotton that we are
not entirely sure when is the best
time to plant each of the various
crops that may be used. There is a
mechanical dificulty, too, in many
cotton fields by reason of the fact
that many ofthe branches of the cot
ton plant reach across the row and
intermingle SO that it seems quite
impossible to drive horse through
the row to cover seed that may be
sowed in the fall months. On poor
upland soil where the growth of the
cotton stalk is very small it is quite
easy to do this and it is really these
soils that need winter legumes. To
sow the winter grains in the cotton
field at the time the crop is laid by
seems to be too early, butNif not done
at that slime the. only other desirable
time seems to be Immediately after
the fil'st picking, for at that time the
seed could be sowed and covered with
a onehorse cultivator without knock
Ing on any of the cotton. The ad.

missionary. When it has CHANGED that
one of these evangelists has received
a larger salary than the regular pas
tor of the church itself, there has nat
urally been feeling.
1t must be remembered that the
missionary in Japan is not a pastor.
He has no congregational duties and
responsibilities, such as ordinarily are
borne by a preacher in America. Ev-
cry congregation has it's own native
pastor and officers. These may con-
suit with the missionary, but he can
not boss" them. The preaching mis-
sionary's work is evangelistic; he
pioneers Christianity into new places.
In this he is assisted by evangelists.
who work under his personal super
vision.
The money, however, is in the mis-
sionary's control. Not all the churches,
by any means, are self supporting.
They must look to America and Eng
land for help. With the control of the
money has gone, to q greater or less
degree, a voice in the direction of the
work. Right here comes the rub The
Japanese want to control the money.
and in some cases the missionary.
too. The talk is all of cooperation, +"
but it is not cooperation in which
the missionary plays almoner. In fact.
since the japanese churches have
their own mission boards they feel
or, at least, an outspoken wing of
them feel-that the latter should have
the entire administration of mission
methods and money, with, of course,
the full counsel of the missionaries.
The Congregationalists have gone
practically thus far The "Kumiai''
are practically Independent. The
American board makes to them an
annual grant of money for a specific
term of years, at the end of which
time, it is presumed, the churches will
have become self-supporting. The en-
tire independently movement faces to-
ward the day when the Japanese
churches will be "self-governing, self
supporting and self-propagating." The
missionaries of the American Board
very generally yield themselves to the
counsel of their Japanese associates.
One man told me the other day that,
in council with the native pastors,
they had assigned him his work for
the coming year. He says that he
finds this relation perfectly satisfac-
tory and that the attitude of the JAP
anese is in no wise dictatorial, but
that all are together seeking the one
end of the works welfare.
The Japanese Type of Christianity.
All this is no mere racial jealousy.
1t goes deep. Are the Japanese quail
fed for ecclesiastical self-government,
as they have proved their fitness for
political self-government? Akin to
this is the consideration whether a
mission land is forever to remain q

could please everybody. There never

The Lord himself and all the angels
in heaven have never half succeeded
in comforting the human race. There
is not a thing on earth or any where
else that meets the approval of all
mankind. Then it would be nonsense
