cultures November report made from

The nations corn crop this year was
the most valuable ever grown. Based

1t Is second only to the record crop of

bushels or 34,0O0,O00 less than the
country's previous biggest corn crop.
Speaking of the quality of the corn
the board says:
Although the corn crop bulks large
the quality is unusually poor in the
principal corn surplus states and
northern states.'
Wheat, with a production of almost
one-fourth of the entire worlds output
this year. has established a record
never before reached by that crop in
any nation. The American harvest
this year exceeds the previous record

IRISH ARE UPHELD
BY ENGLISH PAPER

London, Nov. s.-Referring g. to the
refusal of the Cunard company to per-
NIT 900 Irishmen of military age to
sail from Liverpool on Saturday, the
Manchester Guardian says:
"For a country whose population
has been halved by misgovernment,
while England's has doubled, the re-
sponse of Ireland to the call to the
colors has been creditable. Many men
who on Saturday were taunted at
Liverpool must have had relatives at
the front.
"Of 100000 men of military age
said to be left in Ireland, fully two
thirds are engaged in agriculture from
which enlistment has been discourag-
ed: and when allowance is made for
munitions workers and the unfit, the
recruitable margin is not great"
The Guardian says that "for sadly
long time" the Irish have had to seek
a livelihood in America, and adds that
1t cannot be expected that in this time
of depression the movement will be
stopped fully.

ed.
Rev. d. G. Smith gave the invoca.
tion prayer, after which the audience
sang in unison, "All Hail the Power
A vocal solo by Herbert Schwartz, De
Koven's "Abide With Me-" with a
piano accompaniment by Mrs. G. A.
LASER, was a pleasing feature of the
program.
The annual report of the mission
was read by the superintendent, Rev.
Isaac Williams, and was warmly ap-
plauded. The mission Sunday school
won much favorable comment and ap-
plause when the members gathered
quietly on the stage and sang one Of
their hymns. About three score little
folks were present and their song
showed much practice. They were
accompanied at the piano by Miss
Williams, Mrs. Williams directing.
In direct, earnest talk, Rev. F. X.
Ward, for twenty years superintend-
ent OF the Sunshine mission at Cedar
ERapids, made a stirring appeal for
rescue missions all over the world.
The remarkable force of personal ex-
perience was evidenced when Mr..
Ward sketched briefly his own story
as homeless waif, whose life was
changed through home missionary
help Memories Of the street life, Of
scenes through the years at the Sun
shine mission and Of the pitiful stor-
les of the many with whom his work
brings him in contact, were told by
Mr.. Ward '"The diamonds in the
rough" as sung by Mr.. Ward, made
it's strong appeal also, and was follow
ed by an account of his visit few
years ago to the white house and the
reception of the mission workers by
President Taft In closing, the speak
er urged the steady support and en-
couragement OF the superintendent
and his family by the people of the
city. The address, as well as the en-
tire meeting was Of unusual interest
and the audience, which included rep
resentatives from nearly every church
and organization in the city, gener
ously responded when the pledges for
financial aid were passed.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev Isaac Williams.
