ARSENAL AT WORK
ON new TYPE Gun
Field Piece Being Perfected
Here Can Be Used in De-

A howitZer field gun, which can be
used in the destruction of military air
craft, is being perfected at the Rock
Island arsenal and tests of the device
were made today.
Although it was invented only year
and half ago, it was not primarily
designed for the use against aero
planes, but as it is more flexible than
those manufactured heretofore, it can
be adapted to the use in this depart
ment of army fighting.
If perfected the gun will replace the
3-inch field gun and 3-inch mounting
gun. the latter having been mounted
on mules when in service. The new
gun can be handled more convenient
ly and aimed much easier.
The success of the gun will mean
the manufacture of the type in large
quantities, since il will replace the

SEVEN ADDED To

REV. r. B. GUNTER breaches ON
BEING ASHAMED OF
CHRIST"

Seven additions to the Emmanuel
Baptist church was the result of the
revival service at that church last
night when Rev. r. B. Gunter
preached on the subject Ashamed of
Christ" The scripture which reads
He that is ashamed of me, before
men, of him will be ashamed before
God, the Father and the Holy Angels"
was his text. Interest in the meeting
was attested by the largest congre-
cation present at any time since the
services began. 1t is quite probable
that Rev. Gunter will leave for his
home in Louisville, Miss, after to-
nights service, but the pastor, Rev.
A. L. O'Bryant, will continue the
meeting through the close of Sun
day nights service.

FARMER MuSTLEARN
To EARN and Spend
DR.. CARVER SAYS PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT
is TWO FOLD.

Chicago, April 1.-THE problem con-
fronting the Rural Organization Serv-
ice of the Department of Agriculture
was described, today by DR.. T. N. Cary
err, director of the service, as two-fold ;
teaching the farmer how to earn a
satisfactory income and then how to
spend it. DR.. Carver spoke of his work
at the conference on Marketing and
Farm Products. A very little study of
farmers organizations in this and 9th
err countries, he said, would convince
any one that the effective organiza-
ton of the rural interests was one of
the most difficult problems IN the
world.
The chief difficulty, he declared, was
due to the fact that the farmers are
the most numerous economic class in
the country. They are scattered, they
have a wide diversity of interests and
many antagonisms, and the process

bosses, and who have the capacity for

Work Is Never Standardized.
"All of these people" he continued
"to whom the pain of a new idea is
excruciating, who find it a great hard
ship to have to dscide what to do next
will find farm life uncomfortable. That
perhaps more than any other single
fact characterizes the life of farmer
His work never can be standardized

and temperamentally difficult to or

Another psychological difficulty
perhaps grows out OF the fact that the

farmers success has in the past de-
pended very little upon his mental
adaptability to other men. He has had
to control the forces of nature rather
than the forces of society. He is,
therefore, less adept in those acts and
graces which adorn social life, simply
because his living has not depended
upon it.
THE idea seems to prevail at the
present time" said Dr. Carver in con-
clusion, that all that is necessary is
to enable the farmer to grow his prod
ucts and to buy and sell to advantage
in order that his income may be in
creased. l dare say that most people
who are thinking on this problem to-
day believe that the problem is solved
when the farmer has been assured a
satisfactory income. l wish to insist,
on the contrary, that this is only half
the problem. Paradoxical as it may
seem, it is matter of actual observa-
ton that the sections of the country
where the land is richest, where crops
have been most abundant, where land
has reached the highest price, and the
farm owners attain to the highest de-
gree of prosperity. are the very sec.
