When the guests in the Astor Hotel,

company OF about a hundred men in
evening clothes taking the elevators to
one of the banquet rooms they doubt
less gave no thought to any possible
significance of the gathering it was
only one more of New York's multi
tudinous dinner parties. All unknown
TO observers-and perhaps, even, to
some of those present-that particular
dinner group stood for one of ne great
ideas that are emerging from the
chaos of world strife. namely. concep-
ton of life. This war is shattering
old traditions, usages, customs and
unitieS. 1t has revealed deficiencies
ana evils which can be remedied only
by starting anew at the bottom.
So a few men who have official con-
nection with the one world-em bracing
organization for the training of chill

of interested men to meet at dinner
to review the present status and pos
sibilities of the Worlds Sunday School
Association in the light of the crisis
that has come upon the world. Mill
lonaire businessmen, famous edu-
Gators, leaders in religious journalism,
laymen eminent in Christian work
and considerable sprinkling of
preachers, WIN q couple OF DlSnODS

The formal addresses were deliv-

of the continuation committee of the

READING CHURCHSIAN

Special TO The TelezyobL

Reading, Pa, Oct 22. - Suspected
OF having passed worthless checks
extensively for more than two wears,

member and active in Bible class and
Sunday school work, who resides in a
fashionable neighborhood, was arrest

Ten local businessmen accuse Heck
man of having swindled them. Tt is
said that his scheme was to order
goods sent to an address which
turned out to be a vacant lot or ceme-
terry and pay them with a check, re-
ceiving the difference in change.
The police say that Hickman ad-
mitted his guilt. and made the plea
that his wages were not sufficient to
keep his family in the style he de-
sired. 1t is said he offered to make
good the losses involved.

THOMPSON HAS NEW PLAN

Uniontown, Pa, Oct. 22.-Attorneys
representing creditors of Josiah v.
Thompson last night agreed that they
would not commence the filing of suits.
A proposition from Thompson was
submitted to them, in which he agreed
to turn over his properties to a COM

by them. Other coal men now in the
hands of receivers made the same
proposition to the lawyers.

NOT THE FORM.

1t is unfair to blame a system OF
government because sometimes 1t is
used by corrupt officials to do t1eir
bidding Those who oppose the com
mission form of government have
been citing the case Of Nashville as
an evidence of its failure. " o.
There is no form Of municipal gov
eminent that will guarantee honesty
or economy in public office. While
the commission form Of government
is an Improvement over the old ward
system, it is as open to extravaganza
and incompetence.
The success Of any government
municipal, state or national, depends
upon the ability and integrity Of tic
men who administer it.
There are as many cities in the
United States today which have gone
to the same lengths of extravaganza
as the Tennessee town. These are
not commission cities either.

WHEAT HARVEST IS

Fargo, n. d., July 3O.-The menace
Of black rust is not worrying the
North Dakota farmers to any serious
extent. Only the most favorable con
ditions for the development of rust
might injure even the later seeded

and in some localities Fife and Blue
stem also are being harvested. Har.
vesting the early barley also is gen
cral.
Grain is ripening in LaMoure and
Ransom counties. In the Red River
valley winter rye and early barley is
being cut, but it will be a week or
ten days before wheat harvest be
gins.
The seeding in the southern section
Of the state was much earlier than
here and the grain natures more rap

ern half of the state are practically
perfect.

OPTIMISM is GENERAL.

Crop reports published this morn
ing in the Tribune from several sec
tons reflect a decided optimism,
Now is the crucial time, and the next
two weeks will determine in a great
measure the final yield. In some sec
tons the crops are backward, but
conditions Tor rapid maturing from
now Gu are very favorable.
The war prices have induced many
farmers to decrease their corn acre
age and turn to wheat and other
grains. In view of the late year for
corn this may not be an unmixed evil,
but generally speaking, the farmers
of the state are ahead who stick to
corn and hogs. This year probably
will prove no exception to the gen
eral rule. ~ .t .rta 't*
fBurleigh county never looked bet
ter. Unless hail gets the grain or an
carly flost prevents the corn from
ripening, this county should stand ur
among the best for yield and quality
In fact, the Missouri Slope is the
most promising section of the state.
Now is the time for the most valu
able publicity The Industrial Expo
sition planned for October should be
supported generally by the Slope
country. 1t will afford an eXcellen'
medium for the n%eighboring counties
to get their advantages before the
prospective land seeker. Many eyes
will be turned this way in the fall
when the crop returns are known.
Everyone should boost for the Elk
position.

REEVE NUES DECLINE,

Those charged with providing suf-
ficient revenues to meet the ~eXpendi-
lures of the. government will be con-
fronted with a serious situation when
Congress convenes. Since the begin
ming of the present fiscal year the
daily expenditures of the government
have exceeded the receipts by almost
$750,O00.
At the close Of business on June 30
the working balance in the treasury
was $8~:,O25,716. Yesterdays balance
was $66, 559, 315, a slrinkage in less
than a month of $15,4O6, 400.
Unless Congress takes some con.
trary action, sugar goes on the free
list May 1, 1916. 1t is estimated that
there will be a loss in customs rev.
enues from this source alone of $780,
100000, owing to the reasonable GER
tainty that the usual big importations
of March and April of next year will
be held back until May to escape the
tax. In addition to this, the war

mated loss of revenue of SIS, 900

Weather conditions for the past
week in the Neche district have been
ideal. Warm days and cool nights
have aided materially in advancing
the growth of grain. Garden truck is
growing apace and the potato plants
are in blossom. There is very little
wild fruit this year on account of the
June frosts. The tame fruit crop is
seventy-five percent below the aver
age. There r few apples or plums.
Corn is much later than usual, but

exception of a part Of the northwest
corner of the county, which is badly
in need of rain. While the crop of
hay is light this year, the farmers
are busy getting all there is, and a
