for making this one much better. A larger and stronger faculty has been en- gagged and much finer programme ar ranged.
 New Departures
 Two new departments will be introduced as this school that will attract wide at tention in the Sunday school world and probably be of far reaching importance The first is the introduction of work for children For four days from October to 7, inclusive, the regular sessions of the school will be preceded by three pe- riods for children only. These periods are intended for children from to IA years old, or those in the graded day schools Professor Excel and MT. Roper will have charge of the music for them, too, and Professor Excell is Joking forward with much interest to the singing of the chill dren under his directorship.
 The other new feature is a separate meeting at night for four nights, the Sd to the 9th, inclusive, for negroes only It will be held in one of their churches All negro pastors. superntendents and teachers will be asked to attend but no others will be admitted. The officers oi the International Sunday School associa- ton will watch this negro work with deepest solicitude, as it is the first effort of this kind for the negro race, and they ilope- u may prove tlle DeBlHulHS or the right line of work by the whites for them.
 Red Letter Day
 The greatest day of the school, which will be a red letter day in the religious life of our city, will be Sunday. Octo- Der s. complete religious census of the white people in Greater Birming ham will be taken from 9:30 to 10:30 a. m. by 5000 visitors, and everybody in- Vited to attend the church and Sunday school of their choice. Jews. Protestants and Catholics will unite in this effort The adult classes of the Protestant sunday schools will do the work for the Protestant denominations Then at night the Pocket Testament League of the World will be launched in every Protestant church. with 10000 members it IS planned, Every member agrees to two things only. First, to read a chap ter of the Bible every day and second to carry Testament or Bible with him or her all the time. This promise Is not absolute, but the members agree that they will make it the rule of their lives to do those two things
 Strong Faculty

New lnterurban Line.

Des Moines.-This city is now
to be linked to Lehigh and Web
ster City by direct interurban lines.
The Fort Dodge, Des Moines & South
ern announces that it will at once
begin the construction Of a new line
from Lundgren to Lehigh. From Le-
high to Webster City the interurbsn
cars will be run over the old Crook
ed Creek railroad, which is now be-
ing electrified.
Lundgren is a station on the main
line of the Fort Dodge interurban
lust north of Harcourt and the new
line from that point to Lehigh, the
well known mining town, will be
about eight miles in length. Engin-
GERS are already at work on the final
survey and in the making of plans
for the construction. From Lehigh
70 Webster City over the old Crook
ed Creek line is a distance OF about
ten miles.
Purchase of the Crooked Creek line
was made by the interurban several
months ago, and the work OF electrl-
flying it has already been in progress
for some time. When that work Is
completed and when the new line
from Lundgren to Lehigh is finished,
tie Fort Dodge interurban will estab-
lish direct traffic between Webster
City, Lehigh and Des Moines.

DAIRY TRAIN NOTES.
Interest Along the Line Of the
Special Train Is Intense
INCREASE OF BUTTER YIELD
The Burlington Dairy Special In It's
Tour Through Southern Iowa
Meets Enthusiastic Recep-
ton at Every Stop.

Dairy special trains will cause the
average Iowa COW to yield 100 pounds
more butter each year.
This is the statement made by
Hugh G. Van Pelt, Iowa state dairy
expert, after carefully studying condi'
lions on the present Iowa tour OF the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy dairy
train through southern Iowa.
There are 100000 cows in Iowa.
said Mr.. Van Pelt. This means an
increase of 15o,O00,O00 pounds of but
ter annually. This is worth S5h5oo'-
O00."
1.-THE reception with which the train
is received at all points is an INDEX
of the great interest the people are
taking in the work" .
A year ago similar dairy special
was run through the same territory.
Representatives OF the Iowa state
Dairy association are conducting a
campaign of comparisons to ascertain
the actual results of the dairy educa'
tion. 1t has been found that in the
vicinity OF almost every town six to
twenty silos have been built in the
last twelve months. One man met
the train at Garden Grove and gave
figures to Professor Van Pelt upon
which the expert based his statement
the increase OF butter
production because of the extension
work
