The young ladies class is pre-
pairing to entertain the Agogos. The
explanation is they were beaten in
the contest.
The Superintendent was very hap
by last Lords day .Aorning, because
of the increased attendance at the
Bible school. Perhaps he would
shout, if those who were absent
last Sunday would meet with US at
10 a. m. on the first day of the week.
Let everyone come and see. There
were more than forty absent.
Next Lords Day is ten cent day
in the Sunday School. Everyone
who can is asked to contribute ten
cents. If you can't bring the ten
cents, be sure to come to Sunday
School anyway.
We wish to express our hearty
thanks to every one who helped us
to achieve success in raising our
full Foreign Missionary Apportion-
ment.
Chapel Car Missionary, Killian,
is still at Liberal. He came there
early in February and will remain
until pastor is located. The re-
suits of his work to date are church
membership doubled Sunday School
attendance doubled and the church
changed from a half to a full time
pastorate.
Miss Lucy Fleming was heartily
welcomed to membership in the
church on last Lords Day evening.
The Lords Supper will be observ,
ed on next Lords Day in the morn
ing. Let every member be present.
Strangers are made welcome at
all of our services.

had not yet been consum mated,
and this second loan was taken
up by another loan of $75,00O,-
600, of which amount the Nation
al City Bank, ]. P. Morgan &
Company, and the First Nation
al Bank of New York took $780,
100000, while certain bankers in
London and Paris took the bal
ance of 1t. The security for the
latter loan was threefold. First,
about 100000 bags of coffee;
second, the guaranty of the
government of San Paulo; and,
third, the guaranty of the Fed
eral Government of Brazil.
1t was also agreed that the eX-
pOration of coffee should not ex-
coed 100000 bags the first
year; 9,5OO,O 900 bags the second
year; and 100000 bags the
third year; that the old law pro-
viding for the purchase and
storage or destruction of 100000
bags of coffee per year should
remain in full force and effect,
and that law should be passed
prohibiting the planting of any
more coffee orchards. They
might replace dead coffee trees
in orchards already planted, but
no new orchards or plantations
should be planted.
The 1000, 900 bags of coffee
was delivered to what they call
ed Valorization Committee, con-
sisting of seven mem bers, who
were to have the exclusive con-
troll of it under the provisions of
the contract. The contract pro-
vided that the coffee should be
taken to>New York, London and
Paris, and stored in warehouses
there, and that the sales should
not exceed 100000 bags the first
year; 100000 bags the second
year. and so on, until the entire
amount had been disposed of,
giving the Committee authority
however, to prohibit sales alto
gether if such a course was nee
essary to accomplish their de-
sires.
This information was obtained
on Thursday, May 10th, and on
Saturday of the same week the
Attorney General of the United
States brought suit in the
United States District Court at
New York City, asking for an in
junction to restrain the cCnsum-
NATION of the valorization scheme |
for the reason that it constituted |
a monopoly in restraint of trade,
was in violation of law and in
derogation of the rights Of the
United States. He requested
the appointment Of receiver to
take charge of the coffee still
stored in this country, amount
ing to some 100000 bags. A pre-
liminary hearing was held on
this application, and finally, as
result of the information gained
in our investigation the 100000
bags of coffee has been forced on
the market, resulting in mar
ket decline IN the price of coffee
of 2A cents per pound.
The consumption OF coffee in
the United States amounts to
approximately 100000 bags an
nually, so that the first days in
vestigation of the Money Trust
disclosed facts resultant in the
saying of some $l7,OOO,OOO an
nually to the consumers of cot
fee in the United States, not
very bad beginning for our first
days work.
Next week we will tell you
something about the Clearing
House Associations.

to the suburbs of Northport, but I

Aboriginal lore that I have got and
he explained 1t just as simple as learn

After observing me several times
through the bottom of a clear glass

related this romantic legend:
Many moons ago, when the noble

In the meantime Professor Wallace will

A widespread campaign to popularize
field events among the schools and clubs
of the United Kingdom has been started
by F. A. M. Webster. who declares
that all he knows about these events
was secured from American sources and
who is emphatic in the belief that the
only way for the British to become pro-
ficient in them is to adopt instead of
criticising American methods. He has
secured the consent of the athletic au-
thorities to include several events In the
championships which have not been rec
ognized before.
Backed by the Field Events association.
which As given weight by being presided
over by Sir A. Conan Doyle, Webster has
started an educational campaign which
he hopes will provide SO many contestants
for the added events that there will never
be auy question of the wisdom of includ-
ing them.
Webster declares that good form and
style in the field events is lacking in
Great Britain. but that the material of
which champions are made is here in
abundance.
Many of the younger athletes are back
ing the efforts of the Field Events asso-
citation because they feel that they have
more chance to practice field events.
Berlin in 1916 is the shining objective
of these students of the art of jumping
and heaving, and strenuous efforts will
be made to wipe out there the humiliatng
record which Great Britain made In these
events at Stockholm.

All obstructive debates are not so
learned. Austrias less scholarly poli-
ticians lengthen their discourses with
highly effective epithets. The critic
Boehms has a list of terms of abuse
used during the last ministry of Baron
Won Bienerth. He says that So per
cent of the bad language was used
by Czechs. IS per cent by Poles and
Ruthenians, and only 7 per cent by
Germans, including German socialists.
The word most frequently used was
thief" After that came "scoundrel," !"
liar" dog and German boor," The
non-German nationalists in the reich
srat have the advantage of being able
to swear in at least two languages.
A Czech deputy roared "son of hell"

minutes at German opponent, and
the German could get no one to trans

Czech disturber had his intellectual
forehead cut open. Argument with ink
bottles was in 1908 so common among
the Slovenian minority of the Styrian
landtag that the German majority had
to take precautionary measures. Dur
ing the summer when the landtag was
not sitting, they had all the ink bot
ties in the members desks fastened
down. When the autumn session began
several eloquent Slovenians sought
their favorite arguments and found
that they were out of action. Next day

within the next three years steamers hall

Prof. Charles w. Wallace, the well
known American Shakespearean scholar,
has proved himself an especial terror to
British keepers of public records in re-
cent years, according to evidence given
before the royal commission on public
records. His first accomplishment was
to show them that they knew nothing
about their own treasures by making his
notable Shakespeare finds among sacks
of unsearched documents in the record
office of Chancery lane.
Lately, it seems from the testimony
or DR.. r.. r. Sharpe of the Guildhall
record office. that Professor Wallace has
been attempting to invade the priceless
treasure house of the city of London

ended the struggle went on all day. At
in the evening Herr Fresl declared that
he would tire out the government, and
that he had resolved to make a speech
which would last till the same hour next
evening. As a fact, the speech lasted till
only O'Clock next day; but the II hours
speech was the greatest thing of its kind
done in Europe since parliaments began.
Fresl's II hours speech was a miracle

abled to get rest without appealing for
an interval. Seven Slav deputies con-
spred to interrupt him with approving
remarks which would call forth angry
The governments adherents duly retorted
angrily. the seven Slavs shouted back,
and during the five minutes confusion the
exhausted Herr Fresl got rest. This
was repeated every hour. Twelve glasses
OF egg brandy and five glasses of water
were swallowed by the record breaker in
the II hours.
During Fresls speech the government
party organizers required adherents to
sign a document undertaking not to
leave the parliament house. Sofas and
couches were sent for, and dragged
into the hall adjoining the budget
commission room where the fight was
proceeding and members went to sleep
by turns The German deputy, Hum

to successfully bite pumpkin through

dental popularity the boys had famil-

used by them entirely and only in the
absence of the great sachem, as TuslSy
