PREDICTS $3.50 FOR WHEAT.
Portland Lecturer Says That Price
Will Be Paid Before Another
Crop is Harvested.

Fort Collins.-Wheat will rise to
$3.50 bushel before another crop is
harvested. This was the prediction
made at lecture at the farmers con-
gress and short course in session here
at the agricultural college by L. NJ.

the Portland grain Standardization
laboratories for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
letters said that at the rate wheat
is being exported more than the coun-
try's surplus will have been shipped
abroad. Under this condition, he said,
the ensuing shortage would send the
grain up to $3.50 before the next crop
could be thrashed. 1t would be i'm
possible in the meantime to get
wheat from Russia and Hungary and
Argentina could not send enough to
supply this country's deficiency.

L am sure that it will prove both
interesting and educative to many of
your readers to have laid before them
certain statistics of church work
among the colored race, and cleaned
from the recently issued Living
Church Annual and Churchman's AL
manac for 1915, writes George F..
Bragg, Jr., in a communication to the
Living Church.
Organized congregations to the num-
ber of 233, within 53 dioceses and mis-
sionary districts, report 23,706 colored
communicates. They are distributed
as follows:
The province of New England: In
two dioceses and five congregations,
there are lab communicates
The province of New York and
New Jersey: In six dioceses 10 con-
gregations, 4,439 communicates.
The province of Washington: In
nine dioceses, 63 congregations, 6,432
communicates.
The province of Midwest: In eight
dioceses. Is congregations, 2,31S COM
municants
The province of Southwest: In eight

municants.
The province of California: In two

The combined colored communicant
lists in the entire states of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Texas amount
to just 266 more communicates than
are reported by the single colored par
ish of st. Philips church. New York.
1t would certainly seem that the
church needs the Racial Episcopate,"
or something else, which promises bet
ter results than the machinery we
have tried for whole half century.
Here is the real thing which tests
the catholicity of the church.
Steps taken to improve facilities
for the education of the Negro are

That the men of the Negro race are

On the other hand, the women of

Chu Lung, a well known Wailuku
Chinaman, was sentenced in district
court this week, by Judge Mckay. to
TWO years in Jail for chicken stealing.
lhCre were two counts against him
ana he got a year in each case. In

Lcong Fook was found guilty of re-
ceiyins stolen goods, and was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 and to
serve 3 hours in Jail.
According to the police Chu Lung is
an old offender at the chicken steal
ing game. He has long been suspect
