A Wheat Straw.

A report was put out Of Chicago in
the market reports that wheat might
take a tumble in price soon. This was
shown to trader who has the repu-
tation of knowing wheat from pump
kins, and his opinion was asked.
"You know that in this time of
war the world wheat crop is short and
the supply scant, don't you?" he
asked.
eyes, replied his questioner.
"And that wheat is staple article
of food in all civilized countries?''
"Yes.'
"Well, there's just one thing that
dominates the situation now, and it
pays no heed to kings, kaisers or the
absence of bank accounts. In fact, it
listens to no arguments against its
decrees.
"What is it," inquired the seeker
after information.
For answer the trader rubbed hand
up and down his stomach and said,
"This."

Messrs. McCarty and Mark have
bought the Clark & Fowler dog and

James Wickersham. delegate from
Alaska in Congress, estimates that
precious metals, furs and fishery pro-
ducts to the value of $522 $4,000 have
been taken out of the territory down
TO the close of 1913. Today the miner
al wealth of Alaska alone is 100000

valued at $l5,0OO,0O0; and there are
27,0OOOO0 acres of forests. During

This is picture of the new Seventh
Day Adventist Church which is being
erected on the south side of Sexton
road at Mary street. The exterior is
of brick veneer. with stucco gables
and towers. The interior. room seat
ing about 200 persons, is finished in
the colonial style and electrically
lighted. The floor slopes so that those
in the rear will be able to see over
the heads of those in front Of them.
A commOdious concrete baptistry is
provided. The church is not yet fur
nished completely, but an organ has
been donated by the Allen Music Com
pany. The Parker Furniture Com
pany and the Tandy Furniture Com
pany have given a pulpit chair apiece.
When completed, the building will
represent an investment of about $l0,-
600, but the actual outlay of money
was much less, owing TO the fact that
much of the labor was donated by
members. The lot was donated by +. c
Clinksscales, and the plans were
drawn by Elder ]. S. House, president
of the Missouri confernece. The
money was raised by popular sub
scription. a large amount being sub
scribed by Columbia merchants who
are not members of the congregation.

ing will be out of debt when it is dedi-
Gated. We expect to start our school
with an investment of somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 and let it
grow.
Our people will flock here to put
their children in school, and Elder
Rouse has promised to bring the con-
ference headquarters here as soon as
the school is established. Our church
is large enough for the forty members
We have at present, but ! expect it
will soon have to be enlarged.
COlumbians Helped Literally.
81 am delighted with the way the
people of Columbia have helped us.
When | first started to build this
church. feared it would be a hard
task, but the generous way in which
everybody has responded to appeals
for funds has made the work a real
pleasure"
Elder Limerick cites Clinton as evil
dence of what the establishment of
Seventh Day Adventist school here
will mean to Columbia. There have
been no vacant houses in Clinton" he
said, "since the church established its
school there. Clinton owes its posi-
ton in the dry column largely to the
members of our church there. Our
members can be relied on to vote the
dry ticket"
According TO Elder Limerick, the
proposed school will not compete with
the public schools, but will provide
the religious training necessary for
those who intend to become mission
aries and church workers. The pro-
posed school will handle twelve
grades.
Elder Limerick said that the Sew
enth Day Adventist church differs
from other Protestant churches
mainly in supporting its ministers by
tithes and observing Saturday instead
of Sunday as the Sabbath. Its evangel-
istic propaganda is one of the largest
among Protestant denominations, and
it probably distributes more literature
than any other denomination. No
one may represent the church in the
foreign field who has not had scien-
tific training in medicine, agriculture
or other technical lines.

The Rev. F. l.. Limerick, local elder.
gives much credit for the success of
the enterprise TO Miss Bessie Allen of
Iluntsdale, who circulated a list in the
vicinity of that place and Midvale. The
construction work was begun last No.
vember. The building will be dedicat-
ed soon.
The church is tribute to the enter
prise of Elder Limerick. who dropped
his eyangelistic work in order to build
it. He also built the church at Mid
vale. He has lived in Boone County
about six years. For fourteen years
he was engaged i'm missionary work

Elder Limerick says that the erec-
ton of this church is the beginning
of a movement to bring the head
quarters of the Missouri conference
from Clinton to Columbia and to es-
tablish a school here for the training
of ministers, missionaries, Bible
workers and trained nurses.

erty in different parts of the cOun
