great testing, time for churches that
are depending for their financial sup
port on voluntary offerings. In all
countries Of Europe the state church
system prevails. The free churches are
comparatively weak, both numerically
and financially. The great problem Is
whether these churches will be able
to endure the tremendous strain made
upon their finances as we'll as upon
their working membership"

presented by Bishops Joseph c. Hart

Bringing the Hen 70 Time.
Why should a hen have any better
right to cease her daily toll while she's
molting than a woman has giving up
housework when she decides to remod-
el her winter hat or darn the heels Of
her stockings? Hens have too much
their own way about this laying bust
ness, which makes it exasperatingly
inconvenient and exceedingly expen-
sive for us consumers. Labor unions
have often tried our patience, but
when a low down brindle hen refuses
to lay while her millinery and dress
making are under way it's carrying the
thing a bit too far for enjoyment. and
If she declines to arbitrate the matter
under discussion her food supply
should be cut of until she comes to
her senses. A hen with such dispo-
sition isn't At for fricasseeECartoons

DISASTROUS EVERY WAY.

About the biggest strike in history
is looming up in the background of
the growing differences between the
railroads and the four great brother
hoods of trainmen, engineers, firemen
and conductors. If a strike comes,
half a million workmen will be imme-
diately involved. 1t is impossible to
estimate the full effects Of such a
strike upon the prosperity of this
country. But it would surely be dis
astrous, and every merchant, big or
little, every manufacturer, and every
consumer would suffer, for the rail
roads are the arteries of commerce.
1t is time for Uncle Sam to take a
hand in the game. If there be any
virtue in arbitration there's a lovely
opportunity for it now. Government
action would be justified by the i'm
minence of trouble with Mexico. ny
ing up of the railroads Of this cOun-
try, in a finish fight such as the
threatened strike would precipitaie
would be not only a commercial, but
a military disaster.

more than one hundred million dol

this same sum should not be used
