There is no competition among the different missionary societies in China. The fields arc carefully di vided and Christianity is emphasized and is taught sp that the Chinese l-now little about the differences of creed that have disrupted Christian communities in our western civliZ9- lien. In fact the missionaries are de- Neloping better Christianity and are uniting the denominations. The churches ir the rrited states viii follow in their footsteps, says Mr.. .%Culnunn.

solved through cooperation which, In
my opinion, is the only solution Of the
marketing problem that is to be found
anywhere. North Dakota is solving
that question rapidly, and in that re-
spect is ahead of any other state in
the Union. AS to the former it will
take care Of itself when the people in
the densely populated portions Of the
country realize what splendid oppor.
tunities we have for making homes.
These homes can be obtained with
small investments, and the owners
can become independent by cultivating
the soil properly, eliminating waste
wherever possible and making the soil
produce all it possibly can under aver
age conditions.
We have the coal in abundance in
the western part Of the state to pro-
duce heat and power, and we have the
rainfall to produce crop from the
soil every year. What more can the
ordinary mortal expect? Ny choice is

have enlarged somewhat upon the sub

that the cultivation of the soil and the

our winters have moderated, and there
has not been a real blizzard here since

Appreciation"

Appreciation.
That's some word. When was a
school boy Rev. VIM. H. Milburn, for
many years chaplain to our national
legislative body in Washington, told
me never to use word Of two syl'
tables when q word of one syllable
would express the same meaning
never to use word of three syllables
when word of two would answer
and SO on up the scale. But here we
have word Of five syllables and no
other one in our language seems to
express the same thing. It's just ap.
propriate right now to the time and
the occasion.
This word appreciation" consider
ed for itself, and by itself, brings such
a multiplicity of ideas to one, but the
first to me is that none of us is able
to appreciate the things we have and
are. But take it that in our "Appre-
citation Week" we are only supposed
to take cognizance of our special fav-
ors in North Dakota, where the purest
air that ever blows, watts itself across
our prairies for us to breathe and i'm
bibe health for all our days-in fact,
it is so pure and health-giving that 1t
seems little short Of crime that any
person within our borders should ever
have tuberculosis. Our outdoor air
and deep breathing will render it i'm
possible for this dread disease to graft
itself on any ones lungs. Our horses
never being cooped up in unventilated
rooms never get the heaves, and
those brought to the state with them
recover-Get the idea? And having
got it, breathe the air as nature gives
it to you and breathe it deep.

North Dakota . ! Free
Of Mortgaged Farms

OF the middle western states
North Dakota has the smallest per-
centage of mortgaged farms. In
North Dakota only 36 per cent of the
farms are encountered, fact which is
the more remarkable when it is re-
membered that Is per cent Of these
farms have been purchased within the
past 20 years. In many instances a
mortgage was given as part of the
original transaction, but so profitable
has North Dakota farming proven dur
ing the past ten years that very few
mortgages given prior to 1910 are in
existence today While one would look
naturally to new state, yet in the pro.
cess Of development, for the greatest
percentage of mortgaged farms, the
reverse is true, as is indicated by the,

BULGARlANS MOVING WEST
Believed to Be Headed for Italian or
Belgian Front.

London, Dec. 6.-Reports have
reached here from Bucharest that three
Bulgarian divisions crossed Hungary
Ell route to the Italian or Western
front, which. if true, would seem to
indicate that Bulgaria does not fear
a Russian invasion.
Reports of such shift of forces on
the part of the Bulgarans are as
vague, however. as the report that
Austro-German troops had been rush
ed from the other quarters eastward
to face the new Russian menace.
Dispatches from several sources as
sert that both the Northern and South
orn Serbian armies are safely estab-
lished in Albania, while forces of the
Serbs, who evidently formed part of
the defenders of Monastir, have reach
ed the French camp at Gievgeli, in
Serbian territory, near the Greek
frontier, not far from Saloniki
A feeling of optimism over the Near
Eastern situation seems to be grow
ing here, but outwardly there is little
to justify II except on the theory that
the Russian onslaught against Bulga-
ria will quickly crystalize, while en-
tente diplomatic negotiations In
Greece again seem to be progressing
favorably.
