THE DISTANCE THAT
WHEAT IS HAULED

In Minnesota the average distance
of farms from markets is S IL miles;
in Montana 10 IL miles; in Iowa 1 IL
miles as against Z miles in North De-"
kota.
On the average earth road the cost Of
hauling is % cents a ton per mile, Or
about S. to market a load II miles
as against 1925 to haul it six miles.
The average load of wheat hauled in
North Dakota IS sc bushels as against
40 in Minnesota Washington and
California are the only states in which
the loads average larger than in North
Dakota. If one man had marketed all
the wheat raised in North Dakota in
1914 it wuold have taken him S9?, 200
days or 1890 years, or it would have
taken $3.50 men one month.-The

idea Of the Christian ministry, let me
say to him I deplore that ideal, and
that my latest, deepest thought is that
there are home missionaries and for
eign missionaries and social settlers
and neighborhood visitors whose very
shoe latches I am not worthy to stoop
down and %unloose.
"At best the longest life is short,
all too short, for the noblest tasks,
that of the Christian minister. Great
is the influence of the law of medicine;
wonderful the task Of the jurist and
statesman; marvellous the power of
the press; great, also, the opportunity
of the merchant and manufacturer,
who feed and clothe the people; but
nothing higher than the call to shep-
herd Christ's poor and weak, and hap
py the minister who never has inter-
preted his ministry in terms Of intel
lect alone, or has never secularized
his sacred calling, and who, at the end
of his life, is able to say: Behold,
these are the sheep thou gavest me,
and not II of them is lost"

HINTS -.
FOR THE MEN

At this time of the year, when wife
has gone to the country (Hooray)
men are often left to care for the
house. The following hints are given
with the object of instructing them
in the elementary problems which they
will be called on to face.
To Scramble Eggs:-Taking a
Ratchet carefully chop the eggs in two.
Scooping the remains up in your
hands, mix thoroughly with lard and
other fat. Place in a stew-pan on the
stove; run off II Didn't Raise Ny Boy
to be a Soldier" twice on the player
piano or the graphaphone (or both if
you w them) practice the fox trot
once around the room and the eggs
will be done. Flavor with cayenne
pepper and Worcester.
To Feed the Canary: A weeks
meal for the canary can be arranged
as follows: Take seven butter dishes
and fill with seeds, bread crumbs, etc.
Add a few worms, a dish of paprika,, a
grated cuttle-fish bone and a half pint
of said oil. Place in the bottom of
the cage and replenish every Monday.
To Empty the Ice Pan: If living in
an apartment, it is not customary to
let the ice pan ru mover and deluge
the people below, as very often their
bedroom happens to be under your
kitchen. To avoid this, elevate the
ice pan so as to accommodate the al
cohol stove from your chatting dish.
Light the burner and tn ewater will
~evaporate as it drops from the ice
chest into the pan. If by this plan,
you set the floor on fire, the water will
evaporate much quicker.

HAS DR.. HILLS
COMMITTED
ANY WRONG

The following is taken from editor
ial pages of Christian Work, an I'M
UNCONVENTIONAL Christian magazine
published in New York. This maya
zine seeks only the thruth, and is not
published to bolster up any church or
ganization or any particular man or
set Of men, and therefore should be
good authority:
The Supreme Task Of the Ministry
a Confession From DR.. Hills.
For several weeks various ru1nors
have appeared in the papers in connec-
ton Of DR.. Hills, of Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, with certain big financial in
terests in the West. It seems that DR..
Hills invested heavily in lumber int II.
ests which he believed promised large
and safe returns. The returns did not
materialize. This would not have
mattered so much. DR.. Hills inter
ested others. He felt bound to make
good their losses. This he has been
doing by strenuous efforts. Meantime
his conscience has been troubling him
because of the time this arduous lee
turing has been taken from his church
work. On Sunday, SEPTEMBER 10, he
carried an audience which packed
Plymouth Church completely off its
feet by a frank and open statement Of
his changed conception of the ministry
and by a straightforward avowal that
he had been placing life's values in the
wrong place. It is an noble utterance,
and after the close of the service the
whole audience rushed forward and lit
orally took him in its arms. It re-
minded one Of scenes witnessed in
Beecher's day. Here is his confess
sion:
II am going to say a few words that
were not written an hour and a half
ago." he began. my dear friend and
attorney, Mr.. Heinrichs, does not know
! what I am about to say. It has been
borne in upon me during the last few
hours that some sort Of a statement is
due from me, and it is probably the on
ly public statement that I shall make
Then after a perceptable pause dur
ing which the silence was complete, he
began the statement, which he said
was not meant in any ems as an ap-
pology. He said;
During the past few months I have
been the center Of storm, with face to
the front, and I owe a public state
ment to my friends in and out Of Ply

lily and others dependent upon me, and
also to give certain young men a start
in life. In the interest also of a GER
tain other plan, not selfish in nature,
I decided to invest a sum Of money
which I had accumulated as a lecturer
and writer. I am ashamed to say how
much, in view of the wages of working
people and the poor.
"Like many others, when I trust I
trust completely, and when l give my
confidence l give it with all my heart.
Those in whom l had most confidence
advised me that there could be no
doubt of the safety and conservation
of the investment of my funds OF of
the ability and capacity of those who
had charge of them. For several
years all went we'll. Then came the
panic of 1907, with later business re-
verses for some Of those to whom I
related myself in connection with
these enterprises.
II awakened suddenly to the discov-
cry that there was doubt as to the real
value of some of the property in which
I had invested. At my own expense
and initiative I sent an expert to ex-
anime critically the assets and the ac-
tual values and report to me as to the
actual values. I became convinced
that inaccurate statements had been
made.
Immediately 1 set before myself
the task of seeing to it that no one
suffered any financial loss through
confidence in myself, or even any in
Productions which I had given. Now
I am told that I have enough to pay
off the last of any indebtedness, so
that I hope soon to begin life again,
without property, indeed, but also
without debt.
"Of late serious complications have
arisen, which I shall try to meet ac-
cording to the light which is given me
Henceforth my attorney, Frederick W.
Heinrichs, will speak for me, but at
this time my words r mine alone.
For several years I have been increas-
ingly disturbed left the little influence
I may have had upon some students
and young ministers was far from my
ideal. I have feared lest I was bias
ing these young men toward the lee
ture platform, public life and prosper
ity, instead of toward obscure, gentle,
tender, Christ-like service.
ITO these young men I, WI this
statement-that often I have loved my
books more than the poor; I have low
ed position and honor, and sometimes
I have thought of my own interests
when every drop Of my blood and ev-
cry ounce of my strength and every
thought of my mind belonged to u
schools, to the sick, the f%iendless, the
poor and to the boys and girls, with
their eager and hungry minds.
"Often l have had honors offered to
me when I should have chosen solitude
and dwelt apart and listened to the
voice of God and tried to repent. For
years I have had a growing conviction
that a minister has no right to make
money, and does his best work without
lit. If, therefore, there is anywhere in
this wide land a noble boy studying
for the Christian ministry who has
done the honor to read my books and
sermcnss or~tSAHsten~tszn1ys lectures,
and who has come TO cherish a secular
