Along the Northwestern.
From Omaha the train service of the
Northwestern line extends west and north
In radiating limos that reach so many
points OF interest to the summer tourist
that the wealth Of vacation opportunities
makes Il difficult to select the place where
the vacation can best be spent.
The Black Hills region has always car
ried with It a charm that has drawn thous-
ands OF visitors to Hot Springs, as we'll as
TO Deadwood and Lead. Hot Springs is
located in the beautiful vale OF Mime
kahta, at an altitude Of about $500 feet,
and 1t enjoys a prestige that is greater
than ever before, now hat IT bears the en-
dorsement Of the United States government
as a national sa~nitarium. The hotel
service is very complete, The medicinal
waters, plunge baths and scores Of other
attractions make the stay at this typical
western health and pleasure resort an af-
fair long to be remembered. To the east,
the Northwestern operates seven daily
trains TO Chicago over the only double
track, automatic safety signal line between
the Missouri river and Chicago. There are
special low rates daily to the north and
northwest. The Northwestern to st. Paul
and Minneapolis, with its three daily
through trains and hiRh-olass equipment
and service, transports hundreds Of sum-
mer vacation patrons. For the busy man
who wishes to send the family on vaca-
tion and join them for weekend visits,
the various Northwestern lines reach many
quiet and cool resorts near home, like
Wal Lake, Ia; Lake Chitek and others.

there is no large hope OF Improvement
A very large majority of the decisions to
study for holy orders are made by men in
their college senior years, so that 1t is
useless to go beyond them. In these senior
classes there is no ground for encourage
ment. Most Of the seminaries know the
previous spring about how many men will
enter the following autumn Inquiry In
the principal seminaries, west as we'll as
east, fails to find any considerable growth
in any of them, while in some the outlook
Is decidedly discouraging, Money to pay
expenses of deserving men is without
takers.
In Great Britain, including the estab-
lished churches in England and Scotland,
precisely the same conditions obtain as
here. On the continent men just from
there report a ray of improvement. This
ray comes, It Is said, in part from young
men who had thought of studying for or
ders in the Roman Catholic church., but
arc changing because communities are
changing. These cases are not numerous
as compared with the whole, so that no.
where in the Protestant world does there
seem to be any but the same lack of re-
cruits. Some leaders seen within the last
few days point to the fact that even West
Point is also short Of its quote, in spite of
all 1t offers.
What the trouble is with the Protestant
ministerial outlook 1t is impossible to
ascertain. Within the last week a dozen
of the foremost Christian leaders in all
the world have been interviewed, and al
most a dozen different solutions have been
offered. If there is any shortage In the
number 1t Is because of a reason, some
said frankly, they do not know. There
are more men than formerly In the Bible
classes of the colleges, even in those OF
the academies at West Point and An
napolis, but the laymen seem to have the
call. That Is, the notion prevails thai
there is a demand for active Christian lay
men. who work during their spare time
from business or a profession. Religious
bodies that have least depression are the
Lutheran, especially the German bodies,
the Disciples OF Christ and the Methodist
Episcopal. In bodies that nave high and
low parties there Is little difference be-
tween them. The high suffers quite as
much as the low. II does not appear to
be a matter Of theology or of dogma or of
system or of location. Leaders in prac-
tically all bodies are taking up the ques-
ton, regarding it as of very grave serious
ness.-Boston Transcript.

MINISTRY LACKS RECRUITS
Number OF Graduates from TheOlogt-
cal Summaries Insufficient
for Needs.

There is a most alarming lack of candi-
dates for the ministry of Protestant
churches. This lack is giving Christian
leaders of America grave concern. Within
the last few weeks, or since the theological
seminaries held their closing exercises
FREQUENT conferences nave been held and
formal appeals have been made to minis
tiers to stir up public opinion in their COM
MUNYON'S. These appeals point out thai
money is soing to missions in foreign lands
in fairly liberal sums, and that even the
dearth OF men for these foreign fields IS
not as great as formerly. But the Protes-
tant churches at home are suffering in
number and in character for lack of men
to serve them.
The principal Protestant bodies in the
United States require about $500 new min
listers a year. These are needed to fiji ex-
tensions, to take the places Of those who
die or resign. Changes from one body to
another are. frequent, but they do not in
crease the total. This commencement sea-
son Of the seminaries has seen graduate
about 5000 men. This counts practically
everything. When to the 500 short this
year are added the shortages Of the last
six or eight years II will be seen how
desperate the situation is. In hardly any
Of the seminaries is there any improve
ment in numbers to be graduated next
year. In most OF them there is a falling
off. The only exception is one undenomi-
national seminary. and that is CHALLENGED
in its orthodoxy In some quarters.
Researches rave also just been COM
pleted in the colleges. finding out how
many men in them intend to enter the
theological seminaries. In this quarter

The home economics committee Of the
General Federation Of Women's clubs is
e~ndeavoring to plan it's work that it may
be uniform. Following is the list of efforts
the various clubs are asked to make:
To have domestic science taught in your
public schools.
To have home economic books put in
your city libraries.
To try n have your clubs have at least
one Program each year on this subject.
To have one session of your state con-
vention devoted to this subject.
If a session is not possible, you can at
least arrange round table talks, when you
take up various interesting phases of the
work, in order to show the clubs what a
thoroughly comprehensive and interesting
subject you represent.
To arrange with your state agricultural
colleges and universities to secure from
them people prepared in this line Of work
to talk before your conventions and clubs,
and, IL possible, to send out from them in
structors who can give short courses In
places where you may arrange.

My dear readers, is it not true,
We too seldom speak of our hearts
gladness, but dwell on it's misery?
Keep account of the people you
meet and see how little they say
that is pleasant and happy and much
that is dreary and sad. They will tell
of bodily aches, pains and infirm
titles. They will complain bitterly of
the heat if it is warm, or of the chill
if it is cold They will speak OF
the Encouragement in their business
the troubles in their various duties,
and all the manifold miseries, real or
imagined, that have fallen to their
lot. But they will have little to say
of their prosperity, their health, their
three good meals a day, their encour-
agements, favors, friendships and
manifold blessings. Let us learn the
lesson not to empty our tale OF woe
into other peoples ears but dwell
more on the pleasant things OF life.

Bonds to Be Issued.

The News lis glad to announce that
Brandonis Mayor and Board of Alder
man voted at Tuesdays regular meet
ing to issue $4,000 of 20 year bonds,
drawing 6 per cent interest, to i'm
prove the towns roads-the chief one
to be the highway to the depot, to
which will be devoted all of the
amount necessary to make it first
class.
The interest will only amount to
$500 per annum, which is a smaller
sum than lis required to pay for all
grease and wear and tear en- vehicles,
to say nothing of animal loss in pull
ing through sand beds and mud. A
good solid road to the depot will de-
crease the cost of hauling freight ONE
half, which saving will be felt by
these trading here.
1t will benefit the towns trade in
that people i'm the country will have
their goods shipped here, while now
they haul from other points because of
the bad depot pull A great benefit
will be derived by people from all
over the county seeing the value of
first-clasS highways and the good
road sentiment, which rs taking such
strong hold ON every one, will receive
an impetus that will hurry the day
when the whole county will secure
splendid, or at least much better high
ways. than we are now cursed with.
The News voices the sentiment
of all when it congratulates cur mayor
and board on their progressive step.

Cotton Crop Condition.

Following is the summary of the
condition Of the cotton crop generally
as it appeared in Mondays CONNER
cial-Appeal made up from reports of
Pits correspondents for the week end.
June "a:
The condition of the cotton crop
at the close of the week was worse
in Mississippi, Alabama and about
two-thirds of Georgia than at the
close of the preceding week. Contin
uous rains stopped cultivation and
the grass made such Roadway that a
greater percentage of the fields must
be abandoned. Some crops have re
ceived no. cultivation at all. The best
of weather in the future can not re
pair the loss already sustained. The
plant in these States, even where par
TALLY cultivated, is small and grow
ing slowly. 1t is far behind last sea-
SON.
Elsewhere the crop has improved.
The Improvement in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Ar
kansas was not great, being rather less
than normal, because rains delayed
work and prevented the farmers put
ting fields in good state of cultiva-
tion. 1t is still possible, however, In
these districts to regain much of the
loss.
In all these States it lis highly de
sirable that the rains cease and clear,
warm weather succeed
In Oklahoma, Texas and LouiSian
cotton made normal progress, and is
now in the best condition of the
