would seem that the south Is TO be a
pioneer In this field, Bishop Lambuth,
I'm his recent journey to the heart OF
Africa, where he established the mis-
tsion for the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, took a moving picture
machine and brought back a wonder
Iful collection of Interesting views. Per-
hapa no more striking and touching
missionary picture has been exhibited
than that OF the great Batetela chief,
wembo Mama. grim visaged and saw
age, just q few months out Of canni-
balism holding the year-old baby OF
Doctor Mumpower. while unaccustom-
ed tesrs of tenderness spring to his
eyes.
| bishop Lambuth's pictures were ex-
h.bitod to great and deeply Interested
throngs at the recent general confer
eIce in Oklahoma City. and are being
shown at other points.
The Southern Presbyterian Church
will soon put on throughout the south
series Of magnificent moving pictures
OF mission work in China, japan, and
Korea. Mr.. C. A. Rowland, OF Athens,
Ca. and Mr.. ]. p. McCallie, OF Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. two prominent laymen Of
that church, are now touring the orient
on a journey of missionary investiga-
ton. They took with them an expert
moving picture man. and are taking as
they go characteristic views illustrat-
ing the life of these interesting people
and particularly the many bases Of
missionary activity that are being car
ried on so successfully. Within few
months II will be possible to sit down
in the midst of even the small towns
and villages in the south, graphic
sketches OF life on the other side of the
world, and man without leaving his
home town may gain first hand knowl-
edge from actual observation Of evan
gelistic, medical, educational, and In
dustrial missions as they are found on
the other side of the world. Messrs.
Rowland and McCallie have been COM
missioned by some of the other mis-
sionary board TO get a series Of rep
Preventative pictures of their own de-
nominational work, SO that the field of

fairly covered. Millions OF people
Throughout the south will look for

A sawmilI n Afrioa.

Within a very short time, IL present
plans are carried out, modern saw
mill. like those in use in most progress
sive sections of America, will,be in full
operation In the heart OF Africa.
The executive committee OF foreign
missions of the Presbyterian Church,
South. has completed arrangements
and given orders for the shipping this
we'll equipped sawmil to the mission
station at Luebo. in the Belgian. Con-
go. This mill will be, shipped from
New York within n short time, and II
is expected that within three months
after shipment Il will be In full opera
ton. The outfit will be met at Stanley
Pool by the Presbyterian mission boat
.Lapsley." upon which II will be con-
veyed to It's destination.
The mill will be operated by Mr.. w
l.. Hillhouse. splendid missionary
layman OF the Southern Presbyterian
Church, who Is n practical builder and
mechanic. and who is in charge OF the
construction work of the church IN
Africa
1t is expected that the cost OF the
outfit will be more than met in the
l
will mean on the construction of the
training school and hospital. which are
soon TO be built in Africa.
The former will be erected at an es-
timated cost of $4,000 and is the gift
OF Mr.. r. G. Carson, OF Whiteville, N
c., who builds this beautiful memorial
to his father and mother. The hospi-
tai is to be known as the McKowen
memorial and will be located at Luebo
This much~needed institution will be
erected In memory of Mr.. II. w. Nc
Kowen. of Baton Rouge. La, and is
the gift OF his widow and daughters
Mrs. S. A. McKowen. Miss Sallie Nc
Kowen. Mrs. f. N. Payne and Mrs. M
M. Taylor
II is extremely interesting to know
that the inauguration OF this mill In
this section OF Africa will enable the
church to erect their building more
economically and more permanently
since they can use the hardwood which
1 Is plentiful in that country, as q recent
1 investigation has shown.
A great difficulty has heretofore been
experienced in the use of soft wood
for building purposes. as the white
ants eat out the heart OF the wood. and
q structure may become mere shell
before the destructive work of these
ants has been discovered.
A great deal OF brick is used in the
construction work in Africa, and brick
is made at all the stations. except
where no suitable clay has yet been
found. tH
Certainly tho sending OF this mod
ern sawmill TO the heart OF Africa by
the Southern Presbyterian Church will
mark q very advanced step In the pro-
gress Of mission work in the dark con-
tinent. and will enable the great build
ing enterprises OF the church to be car
rled forward rapidly and at minimum
Of cost.

How few women realize when they
are railing against man--his faults and
.deficiencies---how largely they have
themselves to blame for the masculine
failings. The men who make bad hus-
bands, nine times out OF ten have had
weak querilous, irritable mothers. and
the women they marry. as a rule, con-
tent themselves with resenting the fact
of their shortcomings without making
any strenuous efforts to rectify them
So history repeats itself. and the sons,
like their fathers before them, grow up
in an atmosphere filled with chickering's
and dissensions. How can great and
good men be the products OF such
lives? The sooner that women awaken
to thorough understanding that the
key note to all family happiness Is har-
mony, and that II devolves upon them
alone to establish that harmony, there
will be more heard of domestic felicity
and less Of the new woman" Every

it inadvisable to plant them this
year.
Before the present European con-
ditions arose, crimson clover seed
was selling at from 81 to SIS per
bushel' Up to August IS there
was scarcity of this seed in tie
United States, owing to the fact
that the receipts from Europe were
smaller than usual. The prices then
advanced to from $3.50 to SO per
bushel. Since that date impcrta-
tons have continued to arrive, I'M
til there is now more imported seed
available for fall seeding than there
was in this country a year Ego at
this time. This seed, according to
I the Departments information, was
all imported at approximately the
the same price as that sold for 81
to $3.50 per bushel in the early
part of the season. The present
high price, therefore, is regarded by
the department. as unwarranted
from the standpoint Of the supply
and the import price of the seed.
Some dealers are continuing to sell
at the former price, but these are
the exceptions.
If the present high price is main
tanned, the specialists are doubtful
whether crimson clover can be pro-
fitably used as a green manure crop
for seeding in corn or on vacant
ground. or under other conditions
where the catch is not reasonably
certain Under such conditions
they point out that it will be better
practice to SOW rye this fall and use
the difference in price in adding
nitrogen to the soil in the form of
nitrate OF soda or some other highly
heterogeneous fertilizer. The rye will
afford winter cover preventing
washing and teaching, ands can be
ploWed under in the spring to add
humus to the soil.
When crimson clover is being
used regularly as a winter cover
crop in orchard culture, or where
local experience indicates that a
good catch and a good crop are
practically certain, higher price
for the seed will no doubt be justi-
fed.
A somewhat similar condition ex-
lists with reference to hairy vetch
seed. There has been approximate
ly six-sevenths as much seed i'm
ported since November 1, 1918, as
in the year previous. This shortage,
however, partly is counterbalanced
by the increasing domestic produc-
ton of hairy vetch seed. Wherever
the the price of hairy vetch seed is
found to be exorbitant. the sam e
change in farm practice is recon-
mended as that suggested in the
case of crimson clover.
