The crop report of the Depart

Corn has gone through June in
Ncellent fashion, and as a result the
apartment statisticians guess that
here will be an average yield, for
he entire acreage of the country, of
:. 3 bushels per acre. This compares
y an average annual acre yield of
IS bushels for the past five years,

rease. The acreage is 1913 per cent

MOVIE" ROMANCE.

All of US have read fiction stories
that recorded the recognition of the
features of some long-lost son or
ether missing and highly interesting
person in chance-found photograph
OF moving picture film. Most of us
also have regarded these stories as
highly creditable from the viewpoint
of invention and imagination, but
here is a story from the realm of
fact:
PANA, Ill, July "a naval picture
of men loading rifles on the battle
ship Florida at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
which was published in a newspaper,
has resulted in the location of Wal
ter W. Rench, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Rench, of st. Louis, for many
years residents of Raymond. west of
Pana, by his parents after he had
been missing five years.
Mr.. and Mrs Rench recognized in
the picture a striking resemblance to
their son, who disappeared from his
home when he was seventeen years
old. and they sent for the picture as
originally made and then took up cor
respondence with the Navy Depart
ment, learning from the officials that
a young man Of the description given
by them of their son had enlisted five
years ago.
The Navy Department is now in cor
respondence with officers of the Flor
ida in Vera Cruz harbor in an effort
to bring parents and son together
once more When he enlisted in the
navy Rench gave an assumed name.
With great effort we force back
the comment that "fact is stranger
than fiction" but it is, nevertheless,
when you come to think of it. The
moving-pictlre field is field of ro-
nance, where anything is possible
and where everything that is possible
sometimes is true.

Prayers From the Bible

The Bible Is richer in prayers than Is
commonly supposed, and It may be
doubted whether they have generally
received the attention which they de-
serve. Their interest is two fold, scien-
tific and practical. On the one hand.
the prayers throw light upon the re-
ligion; and. on the other. as the re-
ngion Of the Bible is the source and
inspiration of our own. We have much
to learn from its prayers. One of the
most fervent prayers in the Bible Is
for the presence of the spirit. and for
the cleansing and renewing of the
heart.
Create in me a clean heart, oh, God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence,
And take not Thy holy spirit from me-
There were men who longed for the
light OF Gods face, and to whom that
light was better than corn and wine,
men whose hearts desire was to be de-
livered from every crooked way, and led
in the way everlasting, men who felt
that a man was nothing profited, II he
gained the world and lost God and his
soul.
Such men felt that God held them
by the hand and guided them through
this world. and they were sure that
He would afterward receive them to
glory. When, after the anguish Of
doubt, they had found Him. they were
content with Him. and they could dis
pense with all The visible and custom
airy proofs of his goodness.
For though the fig-tree shall nos -four
ish,
And there be no fruit in the vines,
Though the labor OF the olive fall
And the fields yield no food.
Though the flock be cut off from the
fold,
And there be no nerd in the stalls;
Yet will I rejoice in Jehovah.
I will Joy in the Goa OF my salvation

THE REAL PEON,

One of the great American corpor-
ations operating in Mexico, the
Mexican Petroleum Company, Ltd,
has just published an extensive an
nual report to its stockholders which
is highly informative even to people
who have but a casual interest in
Mexico.
Not the least interesting feature
of this report is its tribute to the
Mexican peon as 4 worker. The
company has regularly employed, for
thirteen years, from $500 to 5000
poems, and it declares that "in con-
tradiction of all that has heretofore
been said or may hereafter be said,
the peon is and has been from the
beginning a most satisfactory en-
ploye." He works in all kinds Of
weather, whether in the cold and
drizzling rain of the "norther" sea-
son or in the glare of the midsummer
tropic heat, with all the fortitude and
as much or more good humor than
the average American laborer. He
prefers piece work." so that he may
adjust his hours, working in the cool
of the early morning, resting in the
midday heat, and concluding mis- day
in the cooler evening. He is peace
full, sends his children to school
which the company provides, apd in
all the company's experience there
has never been case of an employe
being killed in a quarrel.
Such a tribute is by no means
unique. The president of another
large American group operating in
Mexico recently declared that the
poems We're most satisfactory labor
ers. In fact, he declared that the
presence of an ample supply of re-
liable and intelligent common labor
was one of the most attractive
things, from the investigating and
development standpoint, about Mex
leo. ..
Evidently the much-misunderstood
and underrated peon is coming into
his own. # it be true that Ameri-
can industrial organization can make
him into as good worker as Villa
has made him soldier, then indeed is
Mexico a land of magnificent oppor-
tunity, for it has natural wealth be-
yond imagination, capital has always
been strongly attracted to it, and a
good labor supply is all that seems
needed-always granting, of course,
that the government can at last be
placed on a stable and humane basis.
At the bottom of it all is this
question of government. There must
be a government that will consider
the peon a human, not a chattel.

self as he Is. has has to be reached by
some, perhaps unusual, method. and
then to the great surprise of many
who had formed an adverse opinion.
1t Is found that beneath the crust
there are true and noble impulses
that only waited for an awakening.
Perhaps the best example the city
of Washington has ever had of CO.
operative helpfulness was shown the
first week in June. when the Park
Road Methodist Protestant Church
had a block carnival on Keefer
place. one block between Sixth and
Seventh and Kenyon and Lamont
streets.
This street was an ideal one. be-
cause 1t had semi-detached pofches
on both sides of the street, and the
trees along the concrete sidewalk
furnished another place to string
the wires and hang the lights.
Nearly All Creeds.
One family living on the block was
a regular attendant and member
of this church. Only two or three
other families were interested in the
church and sent their children to
the Sunday school. Nearly all de-
nominations and creeds were repre-
sented by the families who reside
there.
When the idea presented itself to
the members of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety doubt was expressed as to the
feasibility of the plan. of securing
cooperation on the part OF the peo-
pie not Interested In the church. As
the committee which was appointed
to see what could be done went from
house to house. they were greatly
surprised to find that every one was
willing to help and to decorate. No
one refused. and everyone was en-
thusiastic.
Not only the ladies but the men
enthused. Next door neighbors plan
ned how they would wire their places
for the japanese lanterns and where
they would hang them. The different
booths distributed on both sides of
the street at convenient distances
were handsomely trimmed with
fancy colored crepe paper. and all
lighted by lanterns There was ice
cream, candies. a country grocery
store, fruit stand, peanut stand. lem
onade wells, cake tables. flower
stands. and grab bags, and a tent
with gypsies telling your fortune
