MISSION TO BE HELD

At the last general convention of the
Episcopal church, held in New York
city in 1913, it was decided to hold
a nationwide Preaching Mission
sometime in 1915, preferably during
the season of Advent; the four weeks
proceeding Christmas. In connection
with this nationwide Preaching Mis-
sion will be held in st. Marks church
OF this city. beginning Sunday even
ing, December 8, and ending Sunday
evening, December IL. There will be
services every day during the week.
Special attention is called to the
children's services, which will be held
every afternoon (the Sundays evcept-

vices, every evening (including Sun
days) at 1880.

thru Christ is as much needed in the

ORCHARD CONDITIONS.

The fruit season which has just
closed has taught its lessons from
which every thoughtful grower should
profit.
The high per cent of wormy apples
grown in many orchards is most con-
elusive evidence of the urgent need
Of thoro spraying campaign dur
ing the coming months. So forcibly
has this lesson been impressed upon
some that orders have already been
given for spraying outfits for use
during the dormant period of the or
chard. The same kind of spraying
machines should be used by all in this
territory, that repairs may be kept
ir stock by the dealer with as little
expense as possible.
Coddling moth (source of wormy
apples) may be controlled by the use
a. arsenical sprays.
Leaf Roller may be controlled by
the use of miscible oil sprays.
Aphis troubles may be controlled
by the use of spray on Black Leaf
No. 40.
A lime-sulphur spray applied dur
ing the dormant period of the tree is
a splendid "clean up" treatment for
various orchard troubles.
If Blight is present in the orchard
the affected limbs should by all
means be pruned out and burned dur
ing the winter months.
Another very unfavorable condition
which prevails in many of the older
orchards, is the presence of too many
undesirable varieties of apples, which
condition not only reduces the annual
income of these orchards, but very
materially depresses the market value
of the better varieties in the car in
which they are shipped
These undesirable varieties should
be worked over by grating sciona

adapted to our soil and climatic con.

A HOPELESS MISSION.

There are two serious drawbacks to
the plan of Henry Ford for peace
mission to Europe. One is the utter
lmprobability that either side will
consider peaced based upon the pres
ent situation in the war. The other
IS the lack of official or even semi
official representation from the Unit
ed States government, says the Des
Moines Capital.
German and Austrian armies are
now occupying territory in France.
Belgium, Russia and the Balkan
states. In drawing up terms of peace
they would have a right to demand
certain territorial acquisitions or
their equivalents. On the other hand
the allies would gain very little that
they did not have before the war
started. They have deprived Germany
of African colonies and Chinese
port and that is about all.
1t must be remembered that at
least two of the allied countries. Eng
lend and Russia, have but tapped their
immense resources, continues the Cap
ital. They can throw millions of men
INTO the field yet. 1t is folly to sup
| pose they will consent to peace nego-
tiations which must be decidedly un-
favorable to them.
Much as the present war and all
its attendant horrors are to be de-
piored it is best for the world at large
that the issues involved be decided
once and for all. And they have not
been more unsettled or more uncertain
since the war started than they are
right now.
Europe has a standing offer from
the president of the United States
that he will welcome the opportunity
to act as an intermediary when there
is a chance for a settlement. There
is every reason to believe that the
United States representatives in the
countries at war will be the first to get
the hint that one side or the other
is willing to consider peace terms.
We suspect it is entirely within their
province to broach the subject unoffi-
ciaily now and then just to feel out
the sentiment of the ruling powers.
And whenever there is tone of en-
enlargement the president will be the
first to know it.
The prayers of America for
speedy ending of the war are con-
stantly crossing the Atlantic. The
neutrality of the United States is
a continual challenge for peace. But
a mission such as is proposed by
Mr.. Ford, especially if it should con-
tam any of the governors of our
states. is apt to receive cold shoul- |
der in court and to embarrass the ad
mnistration when the proper time
comes to offer official services.
