Farm Facts.

by Peter Rndford, Lecturer National
Farmers Union.
Agriculture needs all the great men
ii can get.
Help 10 organize rural life and make
the country better place in which TO
live.
The farmer can neither help himself
nor be helped by others until he or.
ganizes.
The problem that confronts the
farmer next in importance to distribu.
ton is diversifca,ion.
Agriculture has gone through two
thouaand years Of evolution and is
still in an experimental stage.
overproduction is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping stone OF agriculture.
II is the duty Of every farmer to see
that his wife is supplied with every
equipmen; to tighten her labors.
To eliminate waste and inefficiency
in marketing, the farmer should keep
in close touch with market conditions.
The problem Of marketing is the
biggest business proposition Of any
age or nation and one that will require
the combined efforts Of all the agen.
cies OF civilization to solve.

tit;ous lines Of division among repub'
licans should disappear in the face Of
calamities seen 10 be growing out C!
them. Saying that democratic losses
are due to the republicans gettiog to
gether again, and that if they could
have been kept apart all the democrats
would have been reelected is only
stating a plain truth. But it is much
more comforting philosophy to dem
ocrat like Mr.. Clark, who has been re-
elected, than TO one who is fallen and
wants to know what sort Of a demo
cratic administration it is that puts the
republicans together again. II this is

The Growth Of a Great Church
Published by Re1uest0

Members Of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventiSt church are greatly cheered over
the remarkable progress their demon
ination has made in various ways dur
ing the past year, as set forth in the
report made by the statistical secretary
Of the general conference, the govern
ing body Of the denomination, which
has its headquarters at Washington,
D. c. The membership has increased
more than eight thousand, there has
been a wonderful growth in tithes and
offerings, and the movement itself has
penetrated into number Of new
countries until the heralding Of the
message Of the soon coming OF the
Saviour, which is one Of the principal
beliefs OF the church, is now being
sounded in IS counties. The report
is as follows:
Funds to the amount Of 1885,
757.4O, a per capita Of S22.42 for each
communicate, were contributed for
evangelistic work in the denomination
during the last fiscal year.
The net increase over the amount
received for the preceding year was
Sl64,S29.3S, or over 6 per cent, Of
which North America con-
tributed 70 per cent and Europe II
per cent. Nearly 81 per cent Of this
amount was in tithes, over Do per cent
in offerings, 10 per cent in Sabbath
school contributions to foreign mis-
sions.
Since this denomination was orga'
nized filty-one years ago there has
been contributed for evangelistic work
alone total Of S2S, 555, ,4Oo.06. OF
this amount. s19,720.499.66 (69.o9
per cent? has been 1.-THE; 50, 900, ,206.-
6s (7.03 per cent? has been Sabbath
school offerings (of which 5000 per
cent has been contributed for foreign
missinns:) S3.73l.ls4.6s (l30s per
cent? has been fornign mission offer
ipgG and s3,l24s4O.00 (l0.93 per
cent? has been home mission offerings.
OF that amount, s22, 1882 )T.-
"a per cent? was contributed in North
America, and s6,30S,44667 (22'06
per cent? was raised outside this coun-
try.
There waj a gain Of $3.50 in the
membcgs for the year which is the larg-
est gain ever recorded in any year
since this work was begun. In North

dents were trained in all these schools
sufficiently to enter some line Of de-
nominational work at the close Of the
last school year.
OF publishing houses the report says:
At the close Of 1918 there were
81 publishing houses and branches,
assets amounting toSl, ,4SS, ,388.46,
employing 734 persons. and the total
denominational literature sales for the
year we're Sl.S69, ,7l4,4S. This litera
is issued in the Iorm Of approximately
$50 bound books, 32s phampleis,
/, 200 tracts, 1913 periodicals, in 80
different languages. The total litera.
ture sales from the time this work was
organized approximate Sl9,5S6,590. =
02. AS previously noted, this literature
is distributed by 1900 colporteurs,
80s Of whom are in North America,
and 1885 in other countries. Work
is being conducted orally in all the IS
countries covered by this cause in l07
languages and dialects.
The total number Of Young Peoples s
Missionary Volunteer Societies stand
at 964, with a membership Of l8, 8,42s,
annual increase Of s,4oo. or $3.50 per
cent Of members belonging to these
societies as related to the entire num-
Der Of communicates is the highest
yet attained, being 1888. The total
contributions for the year were $24,.
5000, being $i,25 for each member
Of these societies, OF this amount,
$l3,432.49 was contributed for foreign
missions.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1914-11-12

America there we're 1865 communi,
cantsi in Europe, 81, ,772; in Asia, D.
7l3; in other countries, l6,03S. The
total baptisms during the year were
1874. The difference between the
number added by baptism and me
net gain is 4,6l4. Deducting the
number Of deaths, there is left rela,
lively small number Of apostasies from
the faith. It is a cause OF great salts
faction TO note the large number oil
baptisms during 1918, the number be-
ing the largest ever accounted for in
any year.
The number Of churches at the close
Of 1918 was $3.50. This is a gain oI
IT'S, or 24.87 cent. The number oI
new church members added in 1918
was 1888. This number is greater
than the entire membership Of the de
nomination eighteen years after its
organization. It may be explained
that the members which was transferred
during 1918 from companies to church.
es was 1888, the number OF new
church members added during the
year, there is left the net gain in com
municants (members Of churhes, com
panies and other Sabbath-keepers)
namely, $3.50.
The report further says that the de-
nomination is operating in IS different
countries through force Of laborers
comprised as follows: o58 ordained
ministers, 572 licensed ministers, 1903
licensed missionaries, 1000 colpor.
teurs 1911 teachers in mission, pri.
mary. and advance schools, 734 labor
ers in denominational publishing
houses, 1927 physicians, nurses and
and other employees in sanitariums and
treatment rooms, and 252 other per
sons not included in these classes,
thus making a total force Of one labor
er ior every thirteen members.
The report also tells in an extensive
manner Of the educational system
which the denomination conducts in a
uniform way through the world and al
so oi the 81 publishing houses, which
turned out nearly two million dollars
worth Of Christian literature during the
year. OF the Educational work the
report says;
The following general classes oI
schools are conducted by the denom'
national: Primary schools (grade:
i-s), Of which there are $40, taugh,
by 592 teachers, and having an en-
rolment Of l0,206; and advanced
schools (S-l6) Of which there are 10
taught by 5s7 teachers, and having
an enrolment OF 1868. In addition
to these two general classes, there are
certain mission schools conducted il

tries "a separate report Of which is pre-
