SAYS INFLUENCE OF CHURCH IS

testant ministers of Augusta, Presi-

his views regarding the influence of
the church upon civilization and it's
usefulness in aiding governmental de-
ve1opment.
In his experiences in the north and
south and in the Philippines, Mr.. Taft
raid he had been able to study many
different phases of civilization, espe-
cially in the matter of church inf1u-
ence, and this study resulted always
in the one conclusion that the inf1u-
ence of the church without regard to
denomination was good and helpful

f. I. Byrum, prominent bust
ness man of Galesburg Illinois,
was in this city last Friday look
ing after some of his lands which
he owns in this county. When
approached by the representative
of the News about his impression
of the country at the present
time, Mr.. Byrum stated that he
was greatly surprised to see the
improvement that has been made
in the town and country during
the past two years, and that he
was more than surprised at the
crops that were raised by the
better class of farmers as the
impression has gotten out among
the people in his state that the
entire Panhandle country had
actually dried up when the crop
condition were considered. He
was here arranging some i'm
provements which he contem-
plates upon his lands.
{. ). HutSon, former sheriff
of his home county, who lives at
MarShalltOwn. Iowa, was among
those who came down on the
excursion last week. Mr. Hut
son is one of those who took adj
vantage of the prices of lands
some two or three years ago here
and he is pleased with his invest
ment. While he thinks that the
country has been very dry during
the summer, still he claims that
he thinks more than ever of the
country because of the fact that
it did raise as good crops as has
been raised with the allamount
of rain which was distributed
over it. He thinks that he knows
of no country which will raise as
good crops as has been raised
here this year with the rainfall.
When asked if he would sell his
lands, he stated that he priced
the lands but was sure that the
price he made was way up above
the market so that no one would
be tempted to buy it. In fact
he said, Il am not wanting tosell.
That's the reason | priced my
land so high"

From that hour Hartman had n
recognized status with two OF the
most potent factors in the financial
wrold of America-the Southern Pa

connections on land and water, and
the Standard Oil Company, with its
gigantic and misunderstanding re-

almost omnipotent control he acquir-

Pure MILK

ut will be too great an expense

been advanced lately by persons who
have evidently not considered both
sides OF the question.
An honest dairyman will not re-
quire surveillance, and the dishonest
miikman in any intelligent commu-
nifty Is soon eliminated by public
opinion and the high fines to which
he Is liable.
In cities where milk Is six cents n
quart, the dairyman must watch the
corners closely II he is to have any
profit, but when a consumer has to
pay ten cents and up" he is en-
Titled to absolutely pure milk, de-
