THE MISSIONARY AND THE

truth than poetry in the suggestion

Where the best is like the worst.
Where there aIn't no Ten Command

At the same time there are churches

THE LAND OF PEPPER.
1t is from this same region that the
greater part OF our pepper comes. There
are pepper estates in Malaysia and In
Sumatra over the way In fact, this
country was first desired by England
on account OF it's shipments of pepper
Plantations were acquired by some
London commissioners. who demanded
that more and more pepper be scnt-
They knew so little about how pepper
grows that they asked their agents to
sec that the natives planted more white
pepper I'm the future. as their custom
ers preferred that TO black pepper. Now
every one who knows anything about
pepper knows that the white pepper
and black pepper come from the same
bushes and that white pepper is merely
black pepper well ripencd.
Shortly after that letter came the
amount of silver belonging to the com
pany in the Singapore Office was short
and In writing about il to London the
agent presumlng on the ignorance of
the people there, said that the def
cheney was due to the ravagcs OF the
white ants With their next shipment
the London commissioners sent a bas-
ket OF files. and when the agent wrote
asking what they were for. the reply
was that they were to sharpen the
teeth OF those ants.
The exporters here say that there Is
still money in pepper. but that for the
time the profits of the rubber Industry
surpass those of all other farming.

FORTUNES IN RUBBER.
The enormous demand for rubber for
automobile tires. bicycle tires and other
things bids fair to enrich this part of
the world. The jungle is being cut
down and covered with rubber plants
The sultan OF lahore has just sold his
rubber crop at over 81 a pound. and
his plantations have yielded two
pounds to the tree. l am told he has
160 trees TO the acre and that he owns
thousands of acres At this rate his
profit is over S6.i00 an acre per annum.
If this is true, it Is no wonder that
capital is pouring into Singapore for
rubber investments. Scores of planta-
tons are being set out, and something
like 100000 acres of groves have al
ready been established Some of the
companies have paid dividends of as
high as 300 per cent. while so per cent
is by no means uncommon. The plants

The March Of Progress.

We get better conception of the
rapidity with which our hustling
brother Progress has marched into the
West when we stop to think that a
woman is still living who was with
Watts wagon train from Iowa to Ore
gon Riding now across many hum
dreds of miles of cultivated territory
in modern railway flyer, one can
hardly grasp the fact that no longer
ago than within the memory of man
pioneers were blazing the way to the
wonders of the Pacific slope and were
marking the miles and the rods with
their blood.
Mrs. Catharine Belknap. sole sur
vivor of the Watts wagon train party,
which crossed the plains from Iowa to
Oregon in 1S4S and oldest pioneer wo-
man in the Northwest, celebrated the
goth anniversary of her birthday at
the home of her grandson, Walter
Belknap, Spokane. Wash. a few days
ago She is in good health and ex-
poets to reach the century mark She
has not experienced days sickness
in SO years.
Mrs. Belknap is native of Ohio,
born August IS. 1920 When 10 years
of age, she married George Belknap
and moved to Van Buren, county, Iowa,
then territory. where she and her
husband joined the Watts party. The
train, which was composed of 40
wagons, started for Oregon. in which
territory the government then offered
half section of land to every settler.
The Belknaps settled 100 miles south
of Oregon City, living there 30 years.
The trip across the plains was
| fraught with danger and troops of
soldiers were assigned to guard the
emigrants from attack by hostile In
dams. Mrs. Belknap says the scores
of shots were exchanged daily. but
few were injured. When the party
reached the Oregon border the party
divided, 20 of the wagons crossing
the Cascade mountains and there
again divided, 10 wagons going
| through to a point 100 miles south of
Oregon City.
Mr.. and Mrs Belknap moved to
| Washington territory in 1879. and set
tied in the Palouse country. 40 miles
south of Spokane, which then had a
population of $50 and one general
store and a crossroads postoffice, the
mail being brought in by pony ex-
press.
In those days none of us believed
| that Spokane would ever have more
| than 5000 population said Mrs.
Belknap. land not even the most en-
thusiastfc booster dreamed there
would one day be city of $4,000 But
it has all come about in 81 years.

City made article. There are no
as a rule, and the buyer buys that
which seems to him or her the best
and cheapest The public must be-
come accustomed to the exploitation of
home made goods and to be effective
the campaign must be continuous
and protracted one. TO be consistent
it. must be persistent"
The doctrine of patronage of home
industries, if not carried too far. is
good. But the editor of the our ''Ad
astra per aspera" contemporary should
remember that Uncle Sans family of
93, 500, 1O0 although numerous and wide
ly separated, are still of the same fami-
ly. with the same great interests in
common.
The paper goes on to say that "the
best way to get new industries is to be
able to show that those which are al
ready here are we'll patronized. A
community which buys elsewhere that
which can be obtained at home is not a
promising market in the eyes of the
man who wants to enter q new field.
He would save money by staying away
frcin such a community. What Kan.
sas City wants is more people with
capital to invest who believe they can
make money here and whose belief
will be found correct when they come.
The solution of both problems is to pa
tronize home industries"
All of which is just as good sass for
the goose as for the gander. If it
means progress for Kansas City it
would mean progress for Augusta or
any other Maine city.

Patronize Home Industries.

Suppose all cities and towns did the
same thirg that Kansas City is doing.
There united and vigorous effort is
being made at this time to further the
material interests along many lines.
The various civic and commercial or
CARNATIONS are cooperating in an eff
fort. or rather they are making 1t as a
federated body. working toward the
single end of bringing more people and
more factories and more industries and
more opportunities to that city: in
short, to make more work for the Kan
saS City workingman and more BUSH
ness for the Kansas City business man.
The Kansas City Journal says "One
of the very best means of securing this
most desirable of results is the patron
age of home industries In its special
edition yesterday The Journal set forth
resources of the city along many lines,
which proved conclusively that Kan
sas City has the service and the COM
;nodities superior to those which can
be had elsewhere. and as to products
in which there is no competition from
the outside there is an ample field for
selection here.
From the purely Industrial stand
point. the very best way to cause an
expansion of industries already estab-
llshed is to give them preference in
purchasing. The average buyer will
not voluntarily ask for the Kansas

The study of crop and business con-
ditions. which is an annual undertak-
ing by the Continental and CONNER
cial Bank of Chicago. affords strong
and encouraging confirmation of the
recent intelligence as to the solid foun-
dations upon which rests the belief that
alrs well with the country and that the
prospects for prosperous year are
bright. The foundations of prosperity
are the nations crops; the impetus to
manufacturing and industry are to be
found in the crops; the immense rail-
road traffic depends in a double meas
ure upon the crops. If the crops are
ample, industry will hum and manu-
features will flourish and the railroads
will transport both the crops and the
manufactures which are purchased
with the money set in motion by the
crops.

knows no bounds, as was shown by an

For some time one of the disagreeable
creatures has been hanging around the
cottages ana on the west shore late in
the evening some people were aroused
by a great racket on the back porch.
They thought at first that someone
was trying to enter the house. but
when they looked out they discovered
the skunk darting back and forth with
can firmly affixed to it's head. Leav-
ing the animal to it's fate the folks re-

with the can still on it's head. was
found dead on the beach. having been
