Motor Orders Show
Magnitude Of the
Crops in the West

One Of the striking Indications OF the
magnitude Of the wheat and other small
grain crops In Nebraska. Kansas and the
whole wheat belt this year. is the great
flood Of orders constantly reaching the
Cushman Motor works in Lincoln for the
particular type Of farm motor the COM
pany manufactures. The big new plant
is running at fun capacity day and night,
but Is compelled constantly TO refuse or
ders for more and more OF the engines.
From 200 TO 100 orders by telegram come
10 the office now daily. according to n.
IT, Williams. sales manager Of the con-
Germ. A large per cent OF these orders
embody telegraphic money order. which
has TO be refused, because the plant
cannot FIJI all orders. Many OF the or
ders come from Oklahoma, Kansas and
the Dakotas. besides the vast amount
that come from Nebraska. The Ne
braska dealers. getting their orders in
early. we're able 20 get the bulk OF the
engines. so that now that plant IL hardly
able to supply a small fraction OF the
dealers from adjoining states, who are
constantly lnquiring. -Four men recently
visited Lincoln from Oklahoma as a dele
cation from that state to make a special
appeal for more engines for that state.
The capacity Of the plant Is said to be
about forty engines per day.
The little engine rides on the self
binder and furnishes the motive power to
drive the machinery OF the binder. while
all the horses have 20 do is to haul the
machine around the field. Formerly the
mechanism OF the binder was driven by
n drive chain attached 20 the bull wheel
which made tho work a great deal
harder for the horses, and at the same
time allowed n possibility OF clogging
whenever the grain was heavy or when
the ground was muddy.

The British government IL busy buying
American sugar again, and the whole

yet been made In the retail market, espe-
cially In the stores that had laid in a

the advance in the retail market will
have to come especially in the light OF
the fact that the canning season IL fast
approaching, and IN fact has arrived on
some fruits, notably apricots.
New potatoes are still 30 cents a peck

E east>er Greeting

rection capable of demonstration.
Who can express in language the
hope with which it cheers and in
spires the heart of one called to
suffering and pain? And who can
find words to tell Of the comfort
which this thought gives to those
who grieve over the loss Of loved
ones, gone before?
There is power in this central
fact of Christian history. There
is inspiration in this Keystone in
the Arch of Christian truth.
Let us rejoice, then, as we look,
this day, into the empty sepulchre.
Let us weave the truth and the
fact into our lives. Let it give
courage TO the strugglers, hope to
the discouraged ones, comfort to
the mourners,-joy in every heart,
because The Christ has brought
to us, this day, life and immortal
ity.
Greeting you this Easter Salu-
tation of the early Christian CEN
turies,-'The Lord is Risen In
deed,"-I wish you all the joy and
comfort which the thought brings
you on this Blessed Day.
Your Friend and Rector,
The Rev. w. G.. Haupt

Out from darkness into light;
from the sadness of Gethsemane
and Calvary into the joys of Eas-
ter ;away fromth oughts of suf-
fering to hymns of victory; from
the dark tragedy of Good Friday to
the empty tomb,-such is the
great transition, this day, in
Christian thought, voiced in an
thems and flowers, in carols and
hymns, and emphasized in the mes
sage of joy proclaimed from
Christian pulpits. The news, that
encircles the globe this day, and
visits each hamlet and village and
city, and makes hearts beat the
quicker for joy, is the announce
ment made to the disciples of old,
and repeated through all the
Christian centuries: ''The Lord is
risen indeed"
The world itself keeps Easter
Day. So strong a hold has the fact
of the Resurrection gained upon
the hearts of men. AS the CEN
turies multiply, the thought grows
stronger and stronger. Men and
women are studying the fact from
every point of view. Sentiment
has laid hold of it. Reason has
grasped the idea. The man of
science finds the law, Of the Resur-

we uO ffOJ KNOW Wnen IL Will
meet but we know it will meet. Do
we take in the full import of the
Hague Conferences? Why if they
had done absolutely nothing but
meet and adjourn, they would have
been wonderfully worth while.
Think of it-all the world to-
gether in one room! All the ma
tions, under no compulsion, but
voluntarily, freely there, to dis
cuss methods of doing away with
their differences. The nations
agreed that these meetings should
be held repeatedly, although in
definitely, until war is wiped
from the face of the earth. There
is now scattered over Europe, a
body of men, many of them in the
countries actually engaged in
war, who are busy, not theorizing,
but working constantly, diagnos-
ing the international situation,
sitting things down to the very
simplest terms, and finding the
things about which the nations
can agree. From each country
there has come a set Of eight or
ten principles that have been sort
ed out, as that upon which all ma
tions might agree. At least five or
seven of these are found on every
list. Even the present warning
nations have great parties whose
members declare for government
ownership o. the munitions of
war.
In the first step in the great plan
for the abolition of war, however,
is not disarmament, but the limita-
tlon of armament. Chastened Eu-
rope will be more reasonable Eu-
rope. Following the awful war,
we may reasonably believe there
will 'bea great development of the
court of international law; the
Hague Conference may be trans
formed into the Supreme Court of
the World; the Court of Interna-
tiona1 Justice. One International
ist has recently said, There are not
at the present time as many rea-
sons why the belligerent nations
should not unite, as there were
reasons why the thirteen colonies

days. 1t does seem that the time
has come when We may transform
our national armaments into in
ternational armaments; when we
may disband nine-tenths, and save
the most efficient one-tenth to
form an international police force
which shall treat every disturbing
nation as policeman treats dis
turbing citizen. The strong, far
seeing minds of the world are the
ones that are working toward this
goal. They are urging us to let go
outworn institutions, and develop
in their stead, stronger, better,
braver principles of cooperation.
When the gathering in the little
building at the Portsmouth Navy
Yard brought to close the Russo
Japanese War, the news was flash
ed under the ocean to st. Peters
burg, across thousands of miles.
All sound of rejoicing was sus-
pended in Portsmouth for Just

ings might be sounded forth at

Speaker Predicts Development
OF International Law

Mrs. Anna SturglS Duryea, rep
resentatiye of the Worlds Peace
Foundation, headquarters at Bos-
ton, 1ectured in the Presbyterian
church, last Wednesday evening
The peace workers, Mrs. Duryea
declared, are determined to make
out Of this cataclysm, splendid
opportunity; they believe that now
the time has come to abolish war.
The warlhas achieved two great
victories already, Mrs. Duryea
said. Quoting DR.. Jordan: even
while the fighting is at it's height
every nation most deeply involved
is crying cut, This is not our
war" Someone has called this
the founding war-laid on every
doorstep and nobody claiming it.
(2) 1t has silenced forever the
militarist argument that great ar
mics and navies preserve the
peace. There is no nation wicked
enough to have brought on this
war. If Europe is piled up with
$20,000,000 worth of tinder, it
doesn't matter who holds the
match, it is bound to go off. The
United States and England are
about to celebrate 100 years of
peace, along 5000 miles of front
ier. This long period of peace
seems to point to the conclusion
that when nobody is loaded no.
body explodes. Europe has ex-
ploded because every nation on
the continent was loaded ready
for war.
The world is learning the les
son, however, that the civilization
which we have wrought, has no
place in il for warfare. 1t is an
outgrown method Of settling in
ternational difficulties.
"a short time ago." the speak
er said, 81 conversed with the
chairman of the naval committee
of the national congress. You
can't change human naturev he
declared. There have been wars
since the Garden of Eden No,
we can't change human nature
replied, but we can be like the
good doctor who says "The ten
dency of nature is toward health.
l merely aid natuTe."' The ten
dency of civilization is to do away
with war. The various interna~
tionalists and peace organizations
of the world are merely helping
civilization. We must adapt our
international relations to twen-
tieth century methods" AS an il
lustration the speaker at this
point pictured the primitive home,
with fire builded in the middle
of the hard dirt floor, contrasting
the havoc that would be wrought |
should the householder persist in
applying the old custom to the
house of twentieth century civil
ization. Science, education, COM
merce, finance, trade, make it i'm
possible for us to exist on a basis
of warfare. We have become so
interrelated that we cannot pos
sibly rise or fall without rising or
falling with every other nation.
In 1902 there was established
in Brussels, the Bureau of Inter
national organizations, which be-
gan the publication Of an annual
of international Life" Mr.. w. T.
Stead, the ardent internationalist,
who losS his life on the Titanic"
several years ago, in speaking of
the first publication said, 81 took
it into my hands as though it were
a sacred book. 1t is the new Jeru-
salem come down to earth; it
means that the men of the world
realize one cannot live without the
other"
