WORKING FOR THE
CHURCH CHRISTMAS

A good rousing Christmas celebra-
ton at the church means lot of
work for some one. Decorating the
church is traditional December job
and used very commonly to be done
all by volunteer work II there was
evergreen material anywhere in the
neighborhood, young people gladly
joined foraging parties to collect It,.
Later they liked the social pleasure
| of meeting to tie and hang wreaths
, and rope festoons. If sentiment and
society had share in their zeal,
anyway tie church looked mighty
pretty.
Today young people are away at
school ana college,. and the older
ones are more than busy. 1t seems
almost Impossible to get volunteer
work. Many churches pay down
good sums of money for holiday trim.
ming. Others have given it up as
too costly. Some may say that mon
ey ought not to be spent thus, while
there are hungry people in the neigh
borhood. Yet it seems a mistake to
let the old Yuletide customs go. The
carols do sound much more thrilling
from nest of holiday greenery
Then there is the Sunday school
Christmas tree to be trimmed, sup
pers to be prepared, Rotations and
music to be drilled. Pastors and
superintendent have to beg and
plead to get their committees filed.
It seems too bad that it IL so hard
for churches and other philanthroric
organizations to get volunteer ser
vice for all these tasks. Something
Is wrong when no one can spare an
evening to work unpaid for a good
cause.
Some of the people who are al.
ways complaining about mot being
noticed" would be much happier II
they would taSe hold and help along
with such work. Looking 1t l. in
a selfish light, there is no such easy
way to make friends as to take held
with others in effort for some public
organization.

New York, Dec. IA roaring
north eastern today swept the Allan
tic coast at so miles an hour from
North Carolina to Maine.
Chief among the many wrecks cast
upon the shore was an unknown war
ship with four tunnels and fighting
top, which went a shire yesterday
near Ocean City, Nd. The identity of
the vessel was hidden by cloak of
fog, but her desperate plight was
manifested by continued shrieking OF
her whistle for help, which could not
be given because of the high seas.
Lashed by the gale, the ocean bat
tered down the seawall at Sea Bright
N. j., during the night and placed
the town in imminent peril of de-
struction on the next high tide. It's
streets were flooded, communica-
ton by rail was cut off, breakers
were rolling over the chief thorough
fare and undermining the founda-
lions of the principal buildings and
there appeared every prospect that
the damage would be great.
New York bay and harbor were
practically cleared of all craft by
the gale. One fireboat was sunk at
her pier. On the New Jersey shore
of the Hudson a new high wafer
mark was set. The big waiting room
of the Lackawanna terminal was
flooded and nearly all ferries discon-
tinued.

WARSHIP THAT WAS

Philadelphia, Dec. IA dispatch

station at Lewes. Del, says that a
Telephone message at 1888 pm.
from Ocean City, Md, reported that
the warship which had been ground
ed of that place had proceeded sea-
ward.
A As mile gale was blowing and
the weather was very thick making
It impossible to learn the identity
OF the ship.
Repeatedly during the night the
Ocean City life saving crew tried to
exchange torch signals with the ship
but could not get an understandable
response. This fact and the charac,
ter of the lights she displayed last
night and her distress signals led
the watermen to believe that she is
foreign battleship or cruiser.

LAND PR0FFERED FOR
SUGAR FACTORY SITE

Midvale, Dec. Substantial i'm
pulse has been given to the project
OF building a sugar factory in Salt
Lake county by the offer of the Utah
Lake Irrigation company to deed 40
acres of land south and west of this
place as site for the plant, accord
ing to ]. w. McHenry, chairman of
the associated Commercial clubs Of
Salt Lake county, who says he now
feels assured that the project will
go" The land is valued at $125 an
acre, an aggregate of $4,000.
Mr.. McRenry said formal notice
of the intention of the irrigation com
pany came from f. w. Kirkham,
secretary, who wrote that his com.
pany had instructed him to make the
offer unqualifiedly that the deeds will
be prepared as soon as corporation
Is formed with which to transact
business. The consideration will be
81 to fulfill the law. The site is To-
Gated near the stock farm of Hugh
j. Cannon, and is in the midst of
the best beet sugar land in this por-
ton of the state.
A mass meeting will be held tomor-
row night in South Jordan to con
slider the offer of the irrigation COM
pany, to hear the report of commit
tee which was appointed at the last
meeting and to take such steps to
accept the offer as the farmers see
fit and to appoint committees to can
vas the farmers of the county to as
certain just what acreage Of beets
might be relied on if the factory were
built.
Mr.. McHenry said this afternoon
that already $500 acres had been
promised and that it would require
only 5000 acres to supply good siz-
ed factory.
1--WE can get 10000 acres we
think" he said. "We are looking to
the future. With q sugar factory in
operation we can utilize our bypro
ducts in the raising OF livestock and
build up a meat packing industry.
We also have in view a fruit evap-
orator"

Carranza Bribery Probe Proposed;
Objection Made by Senator Smoo,

Washington, Dec. Am effort by
Senator Robinson of Arkansas to-
day to launch an investigation OF q
uDlished report that the Carranza
government in Mexico had appropri-
ated $4,000 to obtain The influence
of two United, States senator's in
bringing about the early withdrawal
of American troops then ut Vera
Cruz precipitated brief discussion IN
the Senate. but resulted in no action.
Senators stone, Gailinger, Penguse
and SmOot urged that the dignity of
the Senate would be lowered by its
adoption and or objection OF Senator
smoot the resolution went over for
the day.
AS drawn, the resolution proposed
an investigation by a special com
mittee Of five senators empowered to
travel in foreign countries if neees
sary. Senator Robinson said he had
talked 1t over with several senators
and decided to charge the foreign
relations committee with the task.
During the debate he agreed TO the
substitution Of the lobby probe COM
mittee and the resolution was in this
shape when Senator Smoot objected
to further consideration, saying he
hoped it would not be sent to any
committee.
Report Contradictory
Senator Robinson objected heated
ly to any but serious consideration
for his proposal and had arrived at
an agreement with Senator Stone
and Gallinger that the lobby commit
tee be charged with the task, wnen
Senator Shoots objection closed the
discussion.
When the report was brought to
the attention of Secretary Bryan he
said it contradicted itself by giving
the impression that senators had
been paid and then indicating that
the entry on the Carranza books did
not specify the use which was made
of the money.
Incidentally, it was said by hig'.
officials that President Wilson had
never even discussed the evacuation
Of Vera Cruz with any members of
the Senate.

PRIEST. WILSON OPPOSES
ANY DEFENSE INQUIRY
Rep. Gardner Of Massachusetts Res
olution Calls for investigation
Of Preparedness

Washington, Dec. Rep. Gard
ner called on the president today at
the latter's request to discuss his
resolution for an investigating com.
mittee. After Mr.. Gardners call
the following statement was given
out at the White House:
The president told Rep. Gardner
that he was opposed to the method
Of inquiry proposed by Mr. Gardner
because he thought it was an unwise
method of handling a question which
might create very unfavorable i'm
pressions. He stated to Mr.. Gardner
that he was entirely in favor OF the
fullest inquiry by the committees of
Congress and that there were no
facts in the possession of the exec
utive departments which were not at
the disposal Of those committees.
Rep. Gardeners Questions
During his call Mr.. Gardner read
the following questions to the presi-
dent:
There are two ways of defeating
my resolution. 1t can be defeated
On a square plea and may vote or 1t
can be pigeonholed in the committee
on rules. Which course DO you ad
vise?"
will you authorize army and ma
Wy Officers to testify before the rules
committee on my invitation. either
with or without restrictive instruc-
tions?"
When Mr.. Gardner left the presi
dent, he refused to say what answer
had been given to his questions.
White House officials said the form
al statement given out would be the
only comment on the call.
Gardner Not Surprised
Mr.. Gardner said he was not sur
prised at the presidents position and
would continue to press for passage
OF his resolution.
Prior to Mr.. Gardeners call, Chair
man Tillman OF the senate naval
committee, discussed national defens'
es with the president. Later he
said he and the president agreed that
the United States should have an
adequate navy in accordance with
the declarations Of the last Demo
cratic platform. He added that the
naval experts would have to deter,
mine what an adequate navy was.
Rep. Kahn OF California, ranking
Republican OF the house naval com
mittee, in formal statement today
declared himself for a building pro
gram to include a large number OF
submarines and torpedo boats, more
battleships and an increase In navy
enlistments He Endorsed a scheme
OF short term enlistment to provide
a mobile army OF 100000 and a ma
tional guard OF 100000.

TAKE OFF THE
HANDCUFFS

Congress has attempted to take off
the handouts of the Sherman Law
from farmers organizations, and now
it is time for the state legislatures
, to act.
For the first time in the history OF
, the nation the legislatures are freed
from the distracting problems of
! choosing United States Senator'S,
and 1t may be hoped that they will
be able to correct such abuses as
are to be found in the application to
farmers organizations of the state
antitrust laws.
They rest like an incubus on the
farmers, preventing them from doing
what every competent economist urg-
es them to do.
To those-if there be any still un.
enlightened-who fear that the farm
ers will ever be able to combine so
as to build up a monopoly, let us cite
the experience of the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors this year. In this
organization are some 5000 fruit
growers. mostly producers Of apples.
They control tremendous produc.
ton of this fruit. But when they
came to market they found not only
that the growers of Colorado, Ne
braska, Arkansas, Missouri. Michigan.
New York. New England, and the
whole eastern area as far south as
the Carolinas were in keen competi-
ton with them. but that the unor-
ganized growers in their own states
were bidding against them. No such
thing as monopoly was possible.
And yet the organization fulfilled its
function of securing good pack.
honest fruit, and systematic delivery.
The only reason for law against
agricultural organizations must be
that farmers will combine to boost
prices and make the consumer OF
food products pay exorbitant sums
for the necessaries OF life. Farmers
can never do this. This Is an econo'
mic fact, and the law dealing with
It should recognize the economic fact
rather than the legal theory. The ap-
pie growers competed with each 9th
err In spite OF their great organiza
ton. They always will in spite OF
any system OF organizations. This
has been found true in Europe, where
such organizations are doing so much
good. Agricultural products come
from the ends OF the earth, and no
combine can boost prices above the
line determined by the law OF sup.
ply and demand. They can cut out
waste, dishonesty, and roundabout
methods, however, and save money
for producer and consumer.
Get after the state legislatures,
Make them Claytonize the state anti
trust laws. Is the advice handed out
by the editor OF Farm and Fireside.

Chicago, May Wheat today ad-
vanced, especially May. in which the
deliveries here proved to be COM
paratively meager and In which con-
siderable tightness developed as re-
suit. A FORECAST that world shipments
would be lighter this week tended to
favor the bulls. On the other hand
the Oklahoma state crop report, al
though remarkably flattering, seemed
to have been discounted before hand.
Opening prices were h@A to nc high

tional gain.

condition was points higher than a
month ago brought about setback IN
prices. The close was weak, y "a nc net

Doubt whether corn deliveries would
be readily absorbed was quickly re-
moved, and the market accordingly
climbed higher. Firmness in south
western centers helped the advance.

might be derived from such move
ment.
The object Of the boosters is to
raise 100000 for the San Francisco
fair, $4,000 of which will used for
an Iowa building and the balance will
be spent in advertising Iowa. The
building at the exposition will be
strictly state affair. no cities appear
ing in the proposition. 1t will be used
as a social center and the exhibits
there will be only of historical end
similar character.
To Give Exhibitions.
Another method of advertising plan
ned Is to run one or two special trains
of fifteen to twenty cars Of Iowa live
stock and possibly manufactured pro-
ducts to the exposition. These trains
will leave six weeks or two months
In advance of the time Of arrival and
will make stops and hold exhibitions
at important points. Animals and ar
ticles passed In correction at the
state fair will probably make up the
exhibits that will go on the advance
train. The EXPENSE will be met by the
general fund The trains will be adver-
tised thoroughly in advance. Mr.. Haw
stated that the Greater Iowa associa-
ton also intends to advertise through
ont the east. calling attention to those
who expect to attend the exposition, to
the beauty of daylight trip through
Iowa and urging all travellers en- route
west to 60 through the state in the
day time Transcontinental trains will
be flooded with Iowa literature of an
advertising character at all of the Miss
issippi river crossings.
In discussin" the importance of the
Iowa building and the Greater Iowa
association for advertising the state,
Mr.. Haw stated that the butter indus
try Of Iowa got its first boost at the
Centennial exposition held in Philadel-
phia in 1875. Prior to that time the
butter made in New York brought a
premium on the market of from three
to FIVE cents over all other states. One
Iowa man exhibited butter at Phila.
delrhia and the judges not knowing
where the exhibitor came from. award
ed his butter the gold medal. AS a
result Iowa butter was given prem
ium of one cent over the New York
product and the industry In Iowa with.
in the next year increased $5,000,00
At the close Of the open meeting to.
