That Racial Missionary Plan Goes
Over for Three Years.

New York, Oct. 24.-The general
convention Of 1913 Of the Protestant
Episcopal church passed into history
this afternon in q hopeless deadlock
on two important resolutions, with
the most farreaching topic of legis-
latiOn before it uncOnsidered by one
house because of an error in the other
and with positive refusal to consid-
er a request Of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union that unfer-

On the proposal to establish a sep
rate bishopric for negroes in the
South and on the proposed elimina-

thirds vote to change the name Of the
church to the American Catholic
chuch the bishops refused to act be-
cause the resolution was sent to them
only yesterday, as a result cc tne eor-
getfulness of an assistant secretary of
the deputies. while it was adoetad by
the lower house more than two weeks
ago.
All hope of breaking the deadlock
on the racial district plan was aban-
doned for the conference committees

vote OF 81 to 13 to concur with the
house of bishops The bishops were
equally determined not to recede from
their stand. Upon turning Of the dep

an adjustment.
Immediately after the deputies re.
fusal to concur with the bishops. the
bishops refused to concur with the
deputies in two important resolutions
adopted by the deputies early in the
convention.
80 The first of these was TO the effect
that a two-thirds vote be necessary
to change the name Of the church; the
second proposed to eliminate from the
Good Friday collect the clause asking

Being Organized by Department Ae-
riculture ID Encourage Raising OF
Hogs
Washington, Oct .27.--The Depart
ment Of Agriculture has Its Boys
Corn Club and it's Girls Canning Club
and now comes the Boys Pig Club,
being organized In the South for the
purpose Of increasing the, supply of
pork and encouraging good breed
ing Of hogs. Already clubs have been
organized in Alabama and Louisiana.
and club organization has been
started in Georgia. It is the purpose
Of the offacials of the department to
organize clubs In every Southern
State.
The idea Of the organization start
ed with the. Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration branch Of the de-.
partment and has been carried on
with the cooperation OF the Animal
Husbandry Division OF the Bureau of
Animal Industry. The organization
is an off-shoot of the Boys Corn
Club which has an organization In
every Southern State and which has
heen the means OF producing record
breaking yields Of corn. The Pig
Club, when thoroughly organized,
will, 1t Is expected, work hand in
hand with the corn club. The boys
of the latter will produce the corn
and the boys of the newly organized
association will see 70 1t that the
pigs are produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organization
OF the Pig Club the department makes
the following statement:
I'm organizing the Boys Pig Club
1t is the purpose Of the department to
establish clubs in every southern
State. The Animal Husbandiy Divis-
ion is cooperating with the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration Office In
the Bureau Of Plant Industry and
has already established clubs in Ala
bama and Louisiana, and the move
ment is under way In Georgia. The
organization is being done by the Of
flcials Of the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration force. and the Animal
Husbandry agents are instructing and
demonstrating how to handle the
stock and to breed 9. superior type OF
pigs.
1T Is the purpose OF the depart
ment to have every member of the
club encourage not only an increased
production OF the swine family but
a better breed Of pigs than is being
raised at present. 1t is a serious pur-
pose the officials of the department
are engaged in--one that is aimed at
the high cost OF living.
"The production OF pork Is not
keeping pace with the increased pop
ulation and something must be done
to harmonize these two elements. II
each member Of the ciub-and they
will be growing II Is expected all the
time--will see To IL that ono more
pig and better pig Is produced each
year then "a long step will have been
taken in meeting the ever growing
chasm between pork production and
increased population"
