DECLINE OF sscrARIASIsm.

Referring 10 the recent Federal
Church Council. a writer in the World
Today says:
In particular one Is struck in the
discussions with the absence Of sec
tarianism. This Is quite another mat
ter from denominationalism and
should not be confused with H. A man
can be loyal to his denomination while
heartily favoring cooperation with
other denominations. The body OF be
lief which is common to various
churches is essentially the same. and It
is this common faith that really viii
prove the basis Of all attempts at so
cializing Christian principles. The fact
that all denominations are coming to
see that salvation must be social, as
well as individual. Is one OF the most
hopeful and remarkable characters.
tics OF modern Christianity. Il is note
worthy also that the men who are iden.
titled with the Federal Council are
among the most earnest workers in all
denominations In fact. the entire
spirit Of the organization Is a testl-
mony to the awakening through which
the church is now passing"
II has taken a long time for the
thought to dawn upon the world that
sectarianism and religion have little
relation to each other There is no
doubt that the sectarIan spirit has
been one OF the greatest obstacles TO
the propagation Of real Christianity
and It's disappearance is one OF the
significant facts In modern progress.
II is true that there are still Chris
tian ministers and still people in the
various denominations who say Join |
our church. for We are the people" but
that is not the prevalent spirit today.
The men and women who are leaders |
in thought observe that the petty diff. |
ferences in doctrines, ceremonies and
customs that divide the churches are
insignificant in comparison with the
fundamental truths which are the COM
mon possession Of believers. and hence
the efforts of Christian workers today
are diverted toward the uplifting OF I
men and society rather than to promot- |
ing sectarian advantages.

TOWN WHERE BOOSTERS DWELL

Al a public meeting recently held
in Sherman, Texas. one thousand citi-
zens signed the membership roll Of
the booster club"
Now what do you know about that?
Sherman, town not much larger
than Chickasha, has a commercial club
of one thousand membersl
There's something TO cause the
chickasha booster to sit up and take
notice.
We folks in Chickasha have been
flattering ourselves that we were pret-
ty good boosters, but It appears that
this Texas town has US completely out
classed in this respect.
Just imagine, If you please. what
one thousand boosters could do for
Chiekasha. We never have had even
half that number of active workers.
And Sherman isn't the only Texas
town that is wide awake in this re-
spect.

generally are going to have to steam

Hudson Not
DiSCOVereT

New York, Feb. 27.-After a care
full investigation, the Treasury Depart
ment has come to the conclusion that
Hendrix Hudson was not the discov-
erer of the Hudson river, after all.
This fact was made known at a
meeting last night of the New York
Society Of Founders and Patriots of
America, a committee from which has
under consideration the placing of a
tablet on the walls of the new custom
house in commemoration of Hudson's
discovery.
Before the work can be done the APP
proval of the Treasury Department is
requisite, and a member of the COM
mittee submitted a report last night
including a letter sent to Secretary
Cortelyou by w. L. Kunhardt, which
said that It was not strictly accurate
to say that Hudson discovered the
Hudson river and that the river had
been visited by at least two earlier
navigators, verrazano and Gomez.
Commenting on this bit of information,
Assistant Secretary Winthrop wrote:
From this letter, you will note that
the accuracy of the legend on the tab
let is question, and it is suggested that
before further action is taken in the
matter that you have a statement vert
fled. and advise this office Of the
change, If any, that you consider ad-
visable.
The committee will go ahead, how
ever, on the theory that Hudson, to
all practical purposes, was the dis
coverer Of the river and with the be-
lief that if such technicalities were all
lowed to stand in the way, 1t would
be about the same as denying that
Columbus discovered America. as this
continent had been visited by Morse
men centuries before.

BIG YIELD FROM DRY FARM.
New Process Of Agriculture Promises
Great Returns.

Billings.-Although threshing has
not advanced sufficiently to enable
the farmers to make a good estimate
of the probable average of wheat and
other grain raised in the northern part
of the state, reports which come from
that part of Montana are to the effect
that there is every reason to believe
that the crop on the dry lands will be
of the bumper variety.
One field in the Judith basin country
is said to have yielded 81 bushels per
acre of winter wheat. In the northern
part Of Yellowstone county the yield
is equally heavy, and it is believed the
average will not fall short of 80
bushels.
There is large acreage of barley
which will produce on an average
about 40 bushels per acre, and a mum.
Der of farmers on the land above the
ditch state oats will show yield of
fully so bushels. Speltz, a grain which
makes a splendid food for stock, is
yielding from 20 to 40 bushels on land
seeded for the first time.
Throughout the immense dry farm.
ing area of Montana the farmers are
busily engaged in seeding a crop Of
wheat which will far excel in acreage
any ever sown in the treasure state.
For weeks past monster steam plows
have been turning the soil at the rate
of 30 to 40 acres per day each, and
the result is but beginning of what
will result in the next few years when
the success of farming on so-called dry
land has been completely demonstrate
ed to be success.
