Bible School in Mo. Valley.

The Bible School of the Chris
ian Church in this city, on yes
erday, was largely attended by
young and old, filling the bull.
ding from door to pulpit. The
ay was fire, people came in
automobiles, garages, on horse
'ack ard on foot, and on ROLL
all it was found that 1S9 men,
'ers had arrived on time, and
at a total of POS, including
e:ehers, scholars and visitors,
" re present, with 107 Bibles,
take part in the services.
The School was opened by
ioag, accompanied by Miss
Nellie South, rendering a most
beautiful selection on the VIC
inc, making the song service a
delightful ceremony.
ne collections were $7.65.
oIoles present, 107.
Number Of points, 626.
Mrs. j. P. Martin received
the beautiful badge, awarded to
che member securing the lar
yest numb r of attendance at
he school, she having secured
Sc. The : Ige was secured by
Rev. HI eaison at the great
Christial. Church Convention,
aeld at Topeka, Kansas, and is
beautiful memento of both
the Topeka and;the Bible school
in Mo. Valley.
Another feature of interest
to the school was the taking of
a photo of the assembled school
and its friends present, by Prof.
IN. B. Stafford, which will be a
fine Keepsake" for any of the
394 persons, whose face will be
reflected in the Photo.
Those present, teachers, schol-
ars, and visitors, all seemed to
be inspired with a spirit of
religious zeal to increase the in
terest in the study of Gods
Holy Book, and the promotion
of the religion of His Son.
Mrs. Spafford's beautiful voice
with the choir, added additional
interest to the services, and the
closing of morning school, and
the sermon of Rev. Hutchinson
in his usual impressive manner,
will long be remembered by all
who were present.
That the Bible School is grow
ing in numbers and popularity
is evident from the interest ia
ken in it by the public, and the
knowledge thus obtained is of
the kind that will rebound to
the honor OF God and the good
of society and the happiness Of
the participants.
What is said to be the high
est electrical sign in the world
was recently erected by the
Prudential Insurance company
at Hoboken, N. j where it can
be viewed to good advantage
from New York City. The
principal feature of the sign is
he large illustration of the
rock of Gibraltar, outlined With
electric lamps. The sign is
erected on a tall building, the
top of the rock rising 200 feet
above the ground, and the sign
is designed to withstand wind
pressure of $50 tons. Alto
gether 5000 electric lamps are
used, consuming 100 horse
power. The lighting equip
ment is sufficient to illuminate
a large town. The principal
words in the sign are written
with letters ten feet high.

TARIFF OUT OF
POLITICS 0. K.

The movement for a revision of
the tariff by 4 commission CompOs-
ed OF experts without party or po-
litical ties is one of thereal advances
toward better government which
will mark a milestone i'll years to
come Our last experience in re-
vising the tariff taught the futility
of the present method. Not only
is the method unsatisfactory be-
cause of its disturbance of econom-
ic conditions, but its result is I'M
satisfactory as we'll.
The tariff is means of taxation
primarily. For this reason it is of
vital importance. But it affects
I the industrial life of the country
and for this reason it should be
handled by experts who know the
principles upon which taxation
and business rest. TO attempt to
overhaul the whole fabric of duties
in short time is shcerest folly. 1t
cannot be done. RevisiOns to be
successful must be accomplished
by schedule. In the years to come
the nation may find in its past no
greater cause for thankfulness than
the removal of this troublesome
question from politics Yakima

SEATTLE RECEIVED
400 TONS OF GOLD

Nearly 5000, 100000 worth of
gold from the Alaska and British
Columbia fields has been bought
by the government assay office in
Seattle since July IS, 1898, accord
ing to the statement compiled yes

L. Villas, of the Seattle office, for
coinage into American coin.
The statement includes all gold
received up to November s last,
and covers HOPS deposits, weigh

The gold receipts at the Seattle
assay Office do not show the entire
output of the Alaska fields, as large
quantities of gold produced by the
Guggenheim syndicate and also
the product of the great Treadwell
mine go each year to TIE Selby
smelter, near San Francisco, and
thence to the government mints.

Dissolve 20 pounds of common
salt and 10 pounds of sal ammonac
in gallons of water, and put the
solution in thin glass bottles, cork
tightly and seal to prevent evapor-
alton. The bottles should hold a.
bout quart. If a fire breaks out
throw one of the bottles in or near
the flames, or break off the neck
and scatter the contents on the fire.
1t may be necessary to use several

MORE APPLES EATEN
THAN EVER BEFORE

Lovers Of apples must be pre-
pared to pay good prices for their
favorite fruit this winter. The APP
pie crop of the present year is not
ONLY about 3, 900, 900 barrels below
the 1908 crop, but it is also poorer
in quality, the eStsmated 1909 crop
being put at 25.735, 900 barrels.
There will be enough of the poorer
sort to go around; but those big,
lucious, highly colored varieties,
such as the Spitzenburgs, Jonathan
Kings and Winesaps, from the
Hood river valley, Oregon, and
other famous orchard Centers OF
the far west, will be sCarcer this
year, and the prices for the largest
and best are likely to advance with
the approach of Thanksgiving and
Christmas. In the fancy fruit
stores fancy Kings and Spitzenburg
are selling at the rate of two for a
quarter, while still larger variety
known as the mountain apple, not
so good to eat, but which makes
most effective table display, sells
for Ok Giants moro
Fasteners are becoming ac-
qnainted with two comparatively
new varieties which are said to
have made many converts to the
Apple Consumers league, an
unofficial organization composed
of those who agree to eat at least
two apples a day. These are the
Delicious and the Winter Banana,
i'll color they are a rich yellow and
the banana apple has also blush
of pink. They come from Colo
RADIO and the apple districts of the
far northwest.
People are eating more apples
every year. said H. w. Colling-
wood, editor of the Rural New
Yorker.
The farmer is just beginning to
appreciate the value of his apple
crop.
There is more money in it, if
properly done, than almost any
thing else that the farmer can get
from the soil, says one authority.
About Is years ago the United
States was producing $4,000, 900
barrels of apples a year. They
came chiefly from eastern farmers.
SO little value was attached to the
fruit that the orchards were ne
elected. If the farmer got 81
barrel he thought he was doing
well. The development of the big
western orchards with their finely
packed fruit in boxes, has revolt
toned the apple trade and greatly
extened the demand for this
healthiest of all fruits.
BY improved methods of sorting
and then packing in boxes, every
apple being of the same size and
sonnd as dollar, the westerners
have standardized the apple bust
ness and the eastern farmer is just
beginning to realize where he has
been short in his method of hand
ling apples and to the eye that the
western growers short-sighted in
estimating the market for them
under the inducements have learn

A NEW POTATO
DISEASE AGAIN

The Canker sCab, which is all in
fictitious disease that has raVaged
the potato fields of Europe for the
last 5 years, now has foothold
in America. The trouble is found
in Newfoundland, and fears are
that it is already for work in Can
ada. Our eastern states should be
on the alert against its introduction
there.
1t is known iii Europe as the
black scab. Unlike our ordinary
scab, it leaves no part of the potato
unframed. The great danger
from it is that its presence cannot
be detected in the potato field from
the appearance of the vines They
may be normal, but beneath the
soil absolute ruin is found to the
ttbers.
This disease was first discovered
in Hungary in 1896, and no par
ticular attention was paid to It, as 1t
was thought to be an affection COM
mon to the best root. but III 1898
its ravages became so severe that a
close examination revealed its true
character and laws were enacted to
Checi. its spread. This was, how
ever, futile and its spread all over
the continent. The British Isles
nre suffering now from it and there
is where our danger lies. The dis
ease starts from the potato eyes.
There the germ gets its hold and
spreads over the entire surface and
even permeates the tuber through
and through This growth rescin-
bles a coral excrescence around the
eye, of a brown, rusty color, look
ing much like the crown gall on
the apple. 1t is not detachable,
but continues its growth, entirely
destroying the tuder. The spores
retain their vitality for a long time
rendering the soil once used unfit
for future paintings for several
years.
Prevention of the introduction
of the disease is about all we can
do at the present. This can be ac
complished by not planting any
imported seed.

HOW THEY BUILD
ROADS IN TEXAS

roads in Ellis county, Texas. was
described at a recent road conven-
ton in that state by County Judge
Spencer. He stated that during
the preceding year eighty miles of
roads had been completed in the
county, the rate of construction
having been between eight and ten
miles per month. The commits
sioners court has full charge of
the work, the commissioners
acting as superintendent but re-
Ceiving instructions from the court.
-Four camps were maintained, each
camp consisting of a grading, a
gravel, a concrete and a rock crew.
Two convict crews were hired at
81 IS per work dav per man for
loading wagons. Forcmen receive
SIS a month assistants S45 Il
month, and concrete foremen s.
per day. Labor is paid 81. so per
day teams for sCrapers 50 per day
and the same for those hauling
one yard loads OF gravel with s. 50
per day for hauling loads of one
and quarter yards each. One
man is employed to do nothing but
locate and test gravel The equip
ment, such as scrapers, water wag-
ons, wheel barrows, picks, drills,
shovels, tool boxes, tents, etc,
costs about s., 900,
\ roadway of at least forty feet
is aimed at. The roads are built
almost entirely of pit gravel, which
is bought by the acre at an average
cost of about I cents per load. The
first twenty miles of road cost an
average per mile as follows:
Grading $3.50. 81
Gravel, rock and pit work 167.15
Labor and salaries 367. IS
Gravel and rock hauling $780, So
Dynamite and powder 400
Engineering So
Concrete construction 1925
Miscellaneous 1888
The average width of gravel was
sixteen feet and the average depth
four inches at the edges and twelve
to twelve and two-t thirds at the
crown. The average number of
loads of gravel and rock per mile
was ,S5+ and the average haul
two miles. The average cost of
haul per mile load was 80 is cents
There was an average of two and
one half concrete bridges and Gull
verts per mile, costing an average
of $50. 10 each. These were built
of re-enforced concrete, the re-en-
forcement being bought bv the
carload and the cement in 1000
barrel lots. These are built on the
general rule of providing one square
foot of opening for each four or
five acres to be drained.
The service of an engineer may
be required on some extremely fiat
or level places. Our commissioners
and foremen, however, have been
able to handle this feature of Our
work satisfactorily in all but one
instance. This service apparently
cost them SLIGO, which gives
very small average per mile, since
this was the only engineering items
for twenty miles of road.

|WAAT WILL THE
DEMOCRATS Do?

Democracy again passes from 'ne
,,or;od of narrow partisan criticism
- . neriod of constructive posslbll-
.;os in the affairs of the nation as a
result of the recent political up
.aoreI Democrats will have a
clear, safe majority in the next
bouse of representatives, and by
combining with senators OF known
insurgency rank, they MAY also
control the senate. In such cir
cumstances the democrats Will ell
;ov exceptional advantages Ill the
congress of the United States, and
i will be interesting to observe the
progress they make toward cong
what they have for years criticised
the republican party for not doing.
Democrats have promised to re-
duce the tariff to a revenue basis,
regardless of the lumber interests
Of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi and other democratic
states regardless of the sugar inter
ests of Alabama, the cotton inter
ests in the producing and manu-
factoring states of the South, and
regardless Of other interests which
have epioyed a fair measure of
protection under the tariff policy
Of the republican party. In the
next congress the democrats will
have the power to pass the kind of
tariff law they have advocated, and
if they fail to pass such law they
will fail to keep faith with their
repeated party pledges and profess
sions.
Moreover, they have charged the
increased cost of living up to the
tariff, and they have repeatedly de-
clared the tariff to be the mother
Of the trusts. y If by COMPRESSION
al action democrats can reduce the
cost Of living, drive trusts and
monopolies out of business and
curb predatory wealth, the Amer
lean people will applaud them.
Democrats have criticised the cur
rency system. They will now
have chance to put our currency
system on a more substantial and
more satisfactory basis if they
wish to do so. They have CRITICS.
ed the administration of Our insu-
lar possessions, of Porto Rico and
the Philippines especially they
may now apply their own policies.
They have not been satisfied with
the progress and manner of work
IN Panama; they have had much to
say OF national extravaganza, and
OF useless expenditures ont of the
national treasury. The manner in
which democrats deal with these
questions will be accepted by the
country as the measure of their sim
cerity.
On corporate problems, particu-
Iarly problems growing out of in
'efstate commerce, democrats have
oeen severely critical of policies a.
aopted and enforced by their polit-
zeal adversaries. The country
may now see how the democrats
will deal with these questions.
democrats will enjoy every adj
vantage they could reasonably ask
III the next congress; if they use
'nese advantages wisely and we'll
Tue country will have no cause to
regret the result of the recent cleo
uon; indeed, it would probably be
