A report of a joint commission rec
ommending the use If new hymn in
the service was adopked by the House
of Deputies. In submitting the report
Robert c. Pruyn of Albany, N. Y, as
serted that while every man has his
favorite hymn. it was necessary in the
interest of conscience to increase the
number of hymns from the 679 con-
tanned in the old hypnal to $50. Many
hymns were discarded because they are
no longer used. saids the report. Final
adjournment of the convention which
has been in session since last Wednes-
day was set for Friday. Oct. y. The
House of Deputies first set the date for
adjournment as Oct. % but later
changed the date to agree with that set
by the House of Bishops.
Discussions Of pensions for the clergy
brought to light the fac. that for many
years the salaries of missionary bish-
ops have been $4,000 annually. A reso-
luton presented by the Rev. William
Grosvenor. n. Y, and adopted by the
House OF Deputies instructed the Board
of Missions to consider the salaries of
these bishops and of missionaries in
the light of the constantly increasing
cost Of living" before fixing their flu
ture compensation
Mcneil Sayre, New York, pleaded for
the support of the pension fund as a
community duty.
IF you pension the minister's he
said, they will live longer; more of
rear larger families.
MIR. Sayre,~who is secretary of the
Church Pension Funds, of which j.
Pierpont Morgan is treasurer, estimat-
ed that the cost Of maintaining the
fund would approximate "A per cent.
of the salary Of each clergyman He
said this could be obtained by parish
tax.
George Wharton Pepper, Philadelphia,
said: Nothing pulls a man down SO
much as the apprehension of future inca
pacity. In the fear that some day his
powers will be inadequate lies moran
and nervous restraint Give clergymen
pensions and you will give them increased
efficiency which will more than repay the
church."
Francis L. Stetson, New York, who
desided, referred ito tainted money
when he quoted a clergyman as saying
that there need be no fear of it, ':for
money loses all personality when it goes
into the church pension fund.-

discomfort is unavoida BILE, but they will
not be long in camp if the present pro-
gram is followed out, and the officers in
charge are doing all that lies in their
power to hurry the work along Orders
have been issued that restrict the men
from leaving the camp, but up to this
time they have not been very strictly en-

that it is difficult indeed to keep them

road outlet into the city are far more
valuable than the farm that is shut OFF
from the city five months out Of the
year on account of impossible roads.
The farmer benefits by easier haul
ing, cheaper transportation. time say.
ing and better social conditions for
his wife, children and self.
The city benefits by cheaper prod
uce, the opportunity for the rural resi-
dent to get into the city and make
purchases and the merchant in town
can extend his zone OF delivery far out
into the country.
THE best proof that good roads
bring prosperity is brought home to
the very doors of Washington by a
comparison of the two states on the
borders of the District Of Columbia.
Maryland has practically finished a
six-year job Of good roads building.
Virginia has hardly commenced. A
two-hour automobile ride, say to Fred
erick, Md, followed by a two-hour ride
through Virginia to Warrenton, will
show a contrast that is not hard to
understand.
washington has prof1ted greatly by
the good roads to Frederick. 1t has
brought thousands of dollars to this
city.
within the past year a good road
has been built to Fairfax, Va. which
is half way to Warrenton. Conditions
for the better are noticeable along this
stretch. Twenty-three nor miles are
needed to put Warrenton in close
touch with the capital. A greater part
Of the amount necessary has been
raised in the country district, the bal
ance is looked for in Washington. Just
how far the business and motorists in
Washington will go along this line is
problematical, but that Washington
will profit by a good road to Warren
ton or any other Virginia town within
a radius Of fifty to one hundred miles
is a certainty. Making the path to
ones door easy for the purchasers is
always good advertising. Helping
build a good road into the city that
will bring thousands OF buyers into
town Is surely making the path cas-.
ier."

tBy c. B. HUTCHINSON. Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture)
Our recent dry seasons have discour.
aged many who had difficulty in get.
ting stands Of clover. but If proper
methods Of seeding are used there
should be little difficulty on most Of
the farms in this section. II it were
possible to predict a very dry year at
sowing time, it would be better not to
use any nurse crop which takes up
the moisture needed by the clover. but
as this cannot be predicted. it is bet
ter to have a thin stand Of some nurse
crop which will keep down the weeds
without taking too much moisture
from the clover or shading it too much.
A stand of clover is dependent upon
many factors. such as weather condi-
tons. soil, quality of the seed, and
weeds. II a nurse crop is used, rye,
wheat and oats are usually ranked for
their efficiency as nurse crops in the
order given, but farmers reverse this
order because they would rather have
oats and wheat in their bins. The
nurse crop. of course. does not direct
ly aid the clover, but is used to keep
down the growth of wild grasses and
weeds which tend to crowd out and
destroy the young plants. In many
cases where weeds do o bother, the
clover will often make a better growth
alone than where it must compete
with the grain crop. On thin lands
and dry seasons a nurse crop is gen.
orally a disadvantage. but under favor.
able conditions a stand can usually be
secured with a nurse crop and the use
