INTERESTING AND
FORCEFUL SERMON
1.-THE Christian r g ig j o n
Meets the Worlds Needs"
Cheers the Heart.
A PRACTICALRELIGIoN

We clip the following from the Al
buqucrque journal, where Rev. Blair
is conducting a series Of revival ser.
vices at the Congregational church;
An interesting and forcible sermon
on Practical Christianity" was deliv.
cred at the Revival services at the Con.
grogational church last night by DR..
Samuel Blair. The Christian religion
is practical, said DIR. Blair, because II
s adapted TO the worlds needs; II is
the only religion for the masses. The
world has made wonderful progress
but has never outstripped the Christian
religion. Hence, II must be divine, II
is practical because II changes the heart
is adapted to the business world and the
social world alike; adorns, buaetihes and
makes happy the home and II is the
only religion which can be cluag TO in
the hour Of death and accompanies man
into eternity.
The Journal also says that the atten.
dance was large. This 10 always the
ease where Gospel is preached that
will meet the "necds of humanity, y
The human heart has naturally an zach
ing void the world can never fll," and
Graves a gospel that will lift 1t above
self, and gives It vision Of the Christ
who was also human, but is Divine, an'
eau aud does "sRve to the uttermosl
all who come unto God by Him."

UNCLE SANS SMALL CHANGE

The very day bronze one cont piece.
made of ninety FIVE parts Of copper 10
five parts tin and zine, costs the gov.
crnment about one tenth Of n cent. Tn.
Gle sans total profit In the one cent
aud five cent pieces coined last year
was more than a million dollars.
The treasury department coins Just
enough one'cent pieces to meet tho de.
mandS of trade. These demands Of late
years have been extraordinary. One rea
son for the increased demand is the in.
PRODUCTION Of pennies into the Pa.
rilic coast cities, where for 80 long they
were an object for contempt, and an
other reason Is the prevalence OF pen.
ny IN the slot machines. These mechnn
zeal devices keep d great many one
cent pieces cut Of circulation, and ~
Increase the demand upon the Treas
ury department for new ones.
Various minor coins from time TO time
have been issued The copper half f.cert
piece was current from 1899 to 1851, al.
though only a small number were coin
ed. The two.cent pieces, authorized in
1864, were coined until 1873, and may
still be seen occasionally in circula
tion. The coinage of the silver three
cent piece was discontinued in 1890
Whenever one Of these coins finds its
way into the treasury, II is not reissued
OF the Minor coins, the government
now makes it a policy to keep in circu
lation only the one.cent piece and the

WICHITA GREATEST
BROOM CORN MARKET
This Kansas City Is Now
the Broom Corn Market
of the World, Buying Al
most Entire Crop.


Broom corn is becoming one Of the
most profitable crops which can be raised
in Southwestern Kansas, In Western
Oklahoma and In the Panhandle Of Tex
a.. II Is crop which is adapted TO the
soil aud TO the climate Of this section.
Every year more broom corn Is being
planted and an unusually large increas.
ed acreage this year is expected because
Of the high price the product is now
bringing. The sales Of broom corn on
the local market last week amounted TO
100000. The prices paid per ton dur.
ing the week ranged from $3.50 TO $500.
This high price was due to the shortage
Of the crop last year, but the short.
age did not cause the farmer TO lose
money because he received a much high.
er price than usual for the crop he har.
vested.
Wichita is now the leading broom corn
market Of the world and IL will con.
tnue to hold its place because IL is In
"a section Of the country which pro.
duces the best "brush" raised in the
world. Farmers are beginning to real.
ize the value Of the product and they
are devoting more land TO broom corn.
They have not done as well in the past
as they will In the future because they
are just learning how to handle the
crop. The matter Of seeding aud bal.
ing is the principal thing in securing
good brush" and this the broom corn
producer now knows. The result will be
even better than that Of last year

House.
ASK FOR SUPPoRT T
Communicated


The members Of the Christian church
of Tucumcari are preparing to erect n
church building on the corner OF Third
Avenue and Adams street, opposite
the courthouse.
II is the intention Of these people to
put up Is handsome building, and in this
laudable enterprise they should receive
the rupport of every loyal citizen of
Tucumcari People should bear in mind
that town is judged, and II citizenship
is judged by its churches and schools
They are the Martella Towers, that
protect our homes and keep our liber.
ties safe. Quite often the writer has
received letters from the east wanting
information concerning our growing
city, and invariably the question IL
asked, "what churches have you, and
what are your schools likei"
To build churches and support them
It requires money. The members OF
the church have already given mag.
unanimously; in a few days they will
begin soliciting donations from the peo.
pie outside their ranks. So prepare TO
give what you can and all you can, gen.
crously, for a dollar, or 4 hundred dol.
lars, spent to aid an enterprise Of this
Kind will bring its own reward.
The Christians expect TO build a Ave
or six thousand dollar church, to do 90
will require much worry and work, 80
do not forget to speak that word Of
cheer, which often does more good than
the money you may subscribe. After
ALL life is very short, and we should
scatter our good deeds along the wa,
as we journey, for when we have about
reached the end, and In fancy can hea
the tapping Of the waters Of the las
river we shall ever cross II will Civ
us great deal Of pleasure " We ca
remember that back along the way W
came, people who remember us kindl
for the aid and assistance We gave 4
