shiaIda For soIdiarn.

Experiments conducted in England
suggest the possibility that shields
may once more form an important
part Of the equipment Of an army.
Steel shields three mIllimeters in
thickness and about $50 square inches
IN area have been devised, which az
ford complete protection against bull
lets fired from the service rife at a
range Of 400 yards.
The small size Of the shield, which
weighs only seven pounds, requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground In order to be sheltered. Each
shield has a loophole for the rife and
studs at the sides, 30 that q series Of
them can be linked into q continuous
screen. The idea Is that by the use
Of such shields the necessity Of dig
ging trenches may often be avoided

COWBOYS BRAND
COYOTES

MALS-FRUIT GROWERS BE-
ON LOWER COLUMBIA RIVER.

White Bluffs, March 7.-Scamper-
ing over the ranges and desert of the
White Bluffs country are band after
band of coyotes bearing the brands OF
well known stockmen and horse
breeders, the result of the sport OF
cowboys and rough riders.
At the spring and fall roundups
the riders greatest sport is lassoing
scared coyotes, applying the branding
iron, sometimes clipping a strip of
fur down cutting off the caudal ap-
pendage for luck.
The stockmen are trying to get rid
of the coyotes as they are constant
menace to the weak and injured
horses and other range stock, while
the fruit growers in the valley are
becoming the best friends of the coy
otes as rabbits are scarcer and the
orchards safer when the coyotes are
numerous and hungry.

SPOKE ON MODERN
CHRIST
REV. JOHNSON breaches ON
THE CHRIST OF THE APOSTLES
AND THE CHRIST OF TO-DAY
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Last night Rev. Johnson of the
Baptist church preached a very schol-
arly sermon on the theme, "The
Christ of the Apostles and the Christ
of Today" He said in part:
"Some regard Christianity as a
theory of the universe but while it
cherishes a theory it is not a theory
of the universe. Some look upon re-
ligion as creed but it is not creed.
Creeds are it's milestones. Christian
ity is not an organization but an or
ganism-a thinking, living body with
a living spirit and a living head.
''The aim or purpose of the Christ
was not simply education or social
reform or the creation of a social
utopia but the salvation of men. Men
were to be delivered from sin and
guilt and brought into fuller life,
not only for the present but for the
future. Salvation is ieliverance of
the whole man from sin and death.
1t is also the deliverance to a fuller
life-a release of energy in life
bringing man into the likeness Of
God.
"Some conceive of Christ today as
the greatest of created personalities
completely filled with spirit Of God,
as the supreme man, the religious
genius, the prophet of God rather
than God. The Christ is thought Of
as the supremely moral man who was
thus one with God. If, as DR.. Forth
syth says, the essence of Christianity
were thus it's lowest common denom-
inator we need go no further than
this position to gather the greatest
possible number into the Church.
"Others think of Christ as SO pure
and SO exalted in his moral con-
seriousness that God makes him the
Judge of men. He is Gods plenipo-
Tertiary invested with divine power
and prestige. But this was not the
Christ of the apostles.
''To the apostles he was not the
ideal man or the super-man only, but
he was the supernal man, the Lord
from heaven. Christ is too great for
any smaller answer than the apostles
gave of him."

FIFTY WORDS MAY BE SENT FORI

TIME BY THE WESTERN UNION
COMPANY.

Announcement is made by the
Western Union Telegraph company
that it is prepared to handle long
night messages at the rates custo-
marily charged for ten words in a day
message. The new service starts to-
day.
1t appears the Western Union has
large unemployed mileage of wires
at night which is not earning any
thing. These wires must be main
tanned in any event to take care of
the regular day business and it is
apparently the idea of the new in
terests in the telegraph company to
let the public have the benefit of
them. The charge for this service
will be the standard day rate of ten
words for the transmission of SO
words or less, and one-fifth Of such
standard day rate will be charged for

Threshermen Want Higher Paw.

Wichita, Kas., March 7.-One of
the most important subjects to be
considered by the annual convention
Of the, Operating Threshers which
opened here today for a four days
session, will be the question of rates.
On account of the existing high prices
of grain and labor, the threshermen
contend that they do not receive
enough pay for their work and the
use of their machinery. An effort
will be made at the convention to
reach an agreement to advance the
price of threshing in the coming sea-
son. 1t is understood that the manu-
facturers, who in former years have
always discouraged such a movement
are now willing to support it. Several
thousand threshers from Missouri,
Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado
and Nebraska are in attendance.
