"Hell in church."-The editorial
under the above caption, printed last
week, aroused considerable bitterness.
Some home folk took it to heart and
applied it to town churches. have no
doubt many of my country readers,
and readers in distant towns, applied
it to churches Of their own.
AS a matter Of fact, there probably
isn't a church in the world quite as
rotten as the one I pictured. But old
Doctor Pitts, whose wisdom is born Of
number Of days, and whose kind old
heart understands the weaknesses
and strivings Of humanity, interpreted
both the spirit and the text Of that
editorial when he said: "a part OF 1t
fits all churches"
There is too much hatred. too much
scandal, too much love Of show, too
much fondness for nasty gossip. too
many hypocrites and too few Chris
tians in all churches.
Some one must preach against evil.
Some one who loves the church must
open the festered places.
1t isn't a nice task, and there is no
present reward for II. But 1t Is q duty
that must fall on some one, and no
one but coward would shirk it.
Some of my most loyal friends assert
that the publication OF that editorial
will hurt my business. Well, perhaps
so.
Over in Blacksburg last year an edi-
tor preached against evil and 1t hurt
his business. In fact, his shop burned
down.
Anyway. old Saint Peter opened his
ledger to my account and put a mark
on the credit side-and heaven knows
I'm needing some marks on that side!

pistiIIeries Necessary in Germany

Distilleries Necessary in Germany
Investigation by the department Of
agriculture shows that the manufac-
ture Of alcohol for technical purposes,
not for human consumption, in Ger
many, Is not regarded in itself as a
profitable business, but as necessary
factor in general farming. The dis
tilleries provide q market for Ger
many's enormous potato crop, which
in turn has made possible the profita-
BILE cultivation Of large tracts Of light
sandy soil in the east. The spent mash
again is returned to the farmers from
the distilleries and used as feed for
cattle which furnish manure for the
enrichment Of the soil. On account OF
the pressure Of the population and the
desire to cultivate as large an acreage
as possible, German farmers have not
been raising, as much live stock as
would be good agricultural practice,
and anything that tends to stimulate
them in this direction Is regarded as
most desirable.
Before the outbreak of the war ap-
proximately 5000 agricultural potato
distilleries were in operation In the
German empire. To the potato crop
itself an eighth Of the arabic land In
the German empire is devoted and the
production Is enormous. In some in
stances crops Of more than 535 BUSH
els per acre have been harvested, while
yields Of 800 to 375 bushels are quite
common. Although such yields are
produced only under favorable cir
cumstances, ii appears that the total
Yields can be very considerably In
creased if new uses for alcohol can be
discovered to create the necessary de-
mand.
