japanese "SiIent" Music.

A curious ceremony used to be per
formed in Japan by the court must
clans at certain Shinto festivals. Both
stringed and wind instruments were
used, but it vas held that no sound
should be allowed to fall upon I'M
worthy ears. and. as some of the ears
present might be unworthy. all the
motions Of playing were gone through
by the musicians. but not a single
sound was heard. This strange Gus
tom dated back many generations.

OFFERS BIG Prize
FOR BEST WHEAT
Five Thousand Dollars Waite
for Five Bushels Of Grain.
SEVEN STATES TO COMPETE

Minneapolis Secures Big Four $50"
Farm Tractor and Equipment to
Award Grower of Best Wheat in
AMERICAN Northwest.
Five thousand dollars for the best
v bushels of wheat, any variety,
grown in the AMERICAN Northwest is
the prize announced as the grand
champion sweepstakes to be awarded
at the Northwestern Products Exposi-
ton to be held in Minneapolis Nov. IL
to 23.
This is the worlds greatest prize
for wheat-twice as large as any prize
ever offered in Canada, five times as
much as any prize ever offered for
any class of grain in the United States.
Announcement of this award has
just been made by the Northwest De-
velopment League, under the auspices
OF which organization the seven states
give the products exposition. The
states included in the AMERICAN
Northwest, as represented by the
League, are Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon.
A Practical Prize.
The prize consists of a Big Four
80" farm tractor manufactured by the
Gas Traction Company of Minneapolis
and Winnipeg and a set of plows
manufactured by the Emerson-Brant-
ingham Plow Company of Rockford,
Ill. These companies, desiring to en-
courage farmers of the Northwest to
grow more and better wheat, have
given the league the outfit for certain
considerations and the seven states
will compete for the sweepstakes prize.
Winning this prize means that wheat
awarded prizes at seven state fairs
and scores of county fairs will be Sc
lected by a process of elimination and
finally entered at the Northwestern
Products Exposition in the grand
champion sweepstakes class. There
will be nothing in the rules, however,
to prevent a grower exhibiting wheat
which has not been shown at any fair,
but which will be entered for the first
time to win the $1,000 prize.
Judging Of the wheat will be done
by the accepted authorities on wheat
judging in the United States.
Five bushel samples of threshed
grain will be required n they must
be exhibited With ten bundles from
the same field which must be from six
to ten inches in diameter. The threshed
grain will be judged, not only by it's
external appearance but a certain
part will be milled and baked into
bread, a given number of points be-
ing allowed for the results in the mill
ing and baking tests.
The Northwest Development League
will undertake to deliver the farm
tractor and plows to the winner free
of cost.
What Tractors Will Do.
The Big Four $50" farm tractor and
plows were selected for a prize be-
cause of their practicability. There
is no agency which is playing a more
important part in the development of
the Northwest than the modern farm
tractor. All over these seven states
the giant horses are cutting the broad
prairies into fertile farms. The wheat
fields are already dotted with them.
Every tractor placed in the North
west will turn hundreds of acres of
prairie into productive farms, max
ing homes for settlers, creating traffic
and new wealth.

MAN IN BUSINESS
CAN Be CHRISTIAN
SAY ATLANTA MEN.
SAY ATLANTA MEN.
Or. G. L. HanSCom Gets This
Reply in His Religious
Survey of Atlanta.

As proof positive of the fact THAI
business men can attain success and
still adhere to the principles Of Chris
tianity. DR.. G. T. Hanscom pastor Of
the central Congregational church viii
read q number Of letters from Atlanta
business men SUNDAY night
Recently Or. Hanscom raised tho
question, Can man in public life
succeed and still bc Christian" He
answered his own question by quoting
from Hon. oscar W. Underwood. Hon.
Champ Clark. Governor Brown and
others. They all agreed that an adj
herence to Christian principles was not
only consonant with a public career,
but was necessary for real success.
Along this same line Dr. Hanscom
has asked the question, Can a man
successful in business remain Chris
tian?" His first sermon on this ques-
ton was based on the opinions Of a
number Of Chicago business men. Since
that time the question has been put to
such Atlantans as :. NJ. lnman. Asa G.
Gambler L. ] PaXon Thomas X Glenn,
] J Eagan Sam . Jones r. J. Low
~ Charles A. Wiekersham, Wilmer T..
Moore Joseph A. McCord and r. S
Johnson. Their replies are in hand and
viii be used as the basis OF his Sunday
night sermon.
Principles Are Compatible.
AS did the several statesmen, All OF
Atlanta S business men have agreed
that Christian principles and business
principles are absolutely compatible
They go further and commend Dr.
Hanscom for discarding theories and
using concrete illustrations in bringing
out this vital point
Along this line Thomas X: Glenn
said
For a number of years have
thought our churches have not Kept vi
with The times but have been working
along traditional lines so long that they
have become more or less antiquated.

track and | sincerely hope YOU will
