TAKE APPEAL TO
ALL LUTHERANS
Church in America to Back Mis-
sions Established by
the Germans.
DR.. FOSS AT CONFERENCE
Decided to Ask for 100000 With
Which to Carry on Work in
the Indian Peninsula.

An appeal for financial support Of
the German Lutheran mission in In
dia will be made to the Lutheran
churches of this country as a result of
a decision made by the mission board
of the general council and two other
mission boards at Philadelphia last
week DR.. c. w. Foss of Augustana
college, who is a member of the
board, returned from the east yester-
day, after an absence of five days. He
states that more than 100000 will be
necessary to successfully carry on the
work of the Leipsig mission, as it is
called, for one year.
The Leipsic mission is the oldest
protestant mission IN India. 1t was
founded over two hundred years ago
by Zeingenbald, at all the southern
points of the peninsula, including Mad
ras. ALI these years it has been well
supported by the Germans, but with
the outbreak of the present war, flnan-
cial assistance on the part of the
mission board in Germany has been
lacking, and there was danger that
the work would be abandoned.
Three Bear Burden.
Three synods in America will be
called upon to fulfill the duties of the
fatherland. They are the general coun-
Gil, of which the Augustana synod
forms a part, the general synod, and
the United South synod. The churches
CT the three have a total membership
of more than 100000 communicate
members.

Big Increase in Last Two Years
Due to Legislation Sc
cured by Tavenner.
AMMUNITION RING is HIT
Ninety Per Cent Of Munitions OF War
Must Be Manufactured by the
Government in Future.

There are 500 more men on the
pay roll at the Rock Island arsenal
now than there were two years ago
according TO Lieutenant Colonel
George W. Burr. commandant. The
Increase is lie 20 the legislation which
has been enacted through the per
sistent efforts OF Congressman Clyde
n. Tavenner. requiring 80 per cent OF
the munitions OF war TO be manufac-
tured by the government and leaving
but 10 per cent for the munltiOn
ring"
AS a result Of the new measure the
government is saving thousands of
dollars. which previously went as
profit TO the private manufacturers,
who for years had fieeced Uncle Sam,
making him pay excessive prices for
munitions. on the false theory that
this practice would result in patriot
ism and would enlist the aid of the
Interests" should the country be plung-
ed into war. Yet the foolishness of
this argument became apparent at
the time OF the Spanish-American war
when the ring" forced the govern
ment to purchase armor plate at
800 more a ton than was being paid
by Germany for the same material.
Hundreds Get Work.
: Under the present law. the big end
of the munitions of war must be made
at the arsenaIs of the country. This
has resulted in putting hundreds of
men to work in this locality because
of increased business and the people
of this section can thank Congress
man Tavenner for il.

ST. Luke's Board Offered $4,000
An endowment of $4,000 for a room
at ST Luke's hospital has been offered
to the board of trustees of that insti-
tuition for consideration. The name
of the doner is not given out because
of the fact that action has not as yet
been taken. Papers and a check have
already been presented to Miss Cakes,
superintendent of the institution, and
as soon as Bishop Morrison returns
it will probably come before the board
of trustees. Two or three of these
have already been consulted and it
seems that the endowment offer meets
with favorable comment from them.
The purpose of the endowment has
not as yet been made public. 1t is
likely that more complete details on
it will be announced in the near future.

An up-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
so years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms
rooms that have direct draughts
crowded rooms: damp houses );
stuffy school rooms; offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
IS once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle OF Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

VantaSes gained in travelling from
town to town, city to city and state
to state, says a writer in the Chicago
Record-Herald.
In this article have been asked to
deal with the touring motorist who
knows not the meaning of the word
economy in using country roads. Or L
might better put it by saying that /
have been asked to call the attention
of the automobile owner and truck
/; driver to their lack OF appreciation of
good roads.
When an automobile owner or driv-
er strikes piece of bad road he sure
ly realizes it, and either expresses or
feels dissatisfaction Very often, how
ever, others of his kind are RESPONSE.
BILE for its condition
For the year of 1914 why not make
resolution that you will do your lit
tie share toward preserving the good
roads and helping the bad ones?
The first and most important les
son in preservation of the highways
is found in the motto adopted by one
of the good roads clubs in Texas.
Don't Drive in the Rut!"
Examples innumerable in all parts
of the country might be recited in this
article where fine pieces of highway
or translate road In its entirety
has been destroyed by automobilists
who persist in travelling on exactly
the same lines as the other fellow.
How often have you seen a we'll
oiled country road in fairly good con-
dition or new section of highway
Just built become almost impassable
by constant usage of rut that was
first marked by the initial car to trav.
ell over it.
Almost without an exception every
piece OF good road in the country is
sooner or later destroyed by careless
ness on the part Of the owner or his
chauffeur Six inches of a road that is
often twelve feet wide is called upon
to stand the strain of all the machines
that pass over 1t.
After these ruts are started and
the surface has been broken through,
the chuck holes and dust holes come.

water to contend with, which softens
the surface and decreases the effi-

the road.

Imports, on the Other Hand,
Show an Almost Equal De-

Automobile exports from the United
States are 20 times as much as a
decade ago. Reports of the value of
automobiles and parts thereof sent
out of the United States III the IL
months ended with November, 1913,
justify the statement that the total
for the full year just ended will ap-

than $2,000,000 in 1903, a decade ear
lier.
The detailed figures for the IL
months ended with November show
that 23,579 passenger automobiles and
92l commercial vehicles valued at ap-
proximately $25,000,0G0, were sent to
foreign countries, and If to this is
added the nearly S6.000,000 worth of
parts of automobiles, $3.500,O00 worth
of tires and $1,500,000 worth of auto
mobile engines, the total for the IL
months is approximately $4,000 900.
Ihe shipments to Porto Rico. Hawaii
and Alaska, which are not included
IN the figures, approximate 100000,
making the grand total for the IL
months practically $3S,000,000 and
100000 for the full calendar year
1913. In 1908, decade ago, this total
was less than S2,O0O,00O: in 1906,
about S5,0O0,000: in 1910, approximate
ly S16,000O00; in 1911. $24, 100000 In
1912, $50, 100000, and in 1918, approx.
mately S4OO00,OOO
