RISING FARM VALUES.

The effect Of the present prosperity
of the country upon farm values is
shown by new figures issued by the
Department of Agriculture.
The value of farm lands in the Unit
ed States today, without improvements
is estimated at 1855 per acre, as
compared with s4O.S5 year ago
s4O.31 two years ago, $3.50 three years
ago, and $36.23 four years ago. The
census put the average value Of farm
land in 1910 at $32.40 an acre.
Increases have been general
throughout the United States, the only
noteworthy exceptions being orchard
lands and some irrigated lands in the
northwest, which apparently had been
oveT-yalued before.
The percentage increases in value
OF farm lands in the past year by sec
tons Of the United States arey North
Atlantic states, 10 per cent; eastern
part of north central states, o per
cent; western part of north central
states, ~ per cent; South Atlantic
states. IL per cent; south central
states. IL per cent; far western states,
II per cent; entire United States. 1l.5
per cent.
The percentage increases IN farm
land values in four years. that is since
1912, are: North Atlantic states. IL
per cent; eastern part of north CEN
trail states. 2S per cent; south Atlantic
states, 20 per cent; south central
states, rs per cent; far western states.
"a per cent; entire United States 25.7
per cent.
These estimates are based upon re-
ports from crop reporters Of the Blu
reau Of Crop Estimates. There is lit
tie room TO doubt that they are rsa-
g.aably accurate.

GERARD'S VISIT TO KAISER WILL
MEAN SOLUTION.

Washington, April 2S.-Secretary Of
State Lansing said late yesterday that
he had no further advices from Berlin
regarding the submarine issue and
that the situation remained unchanged
The German embassy also was said tC
be without information.
Announcement in press dispatches
from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard
would confer with Emperor William
at the army headquarters was regard
ed by officials as being significant
The opinion was freely expressed thai
It was not at all unlikely that the EN-.
peror might have in mind supplement-
ing Germany's reply to the American
note demanding the immediate aban.
doment of present methods of sub.
marine warfare with a personal com.
munication of some kind to President
Wilson.
Ambassador Gerard in visiting the
emperor is not acting under instruc-
tons received from Washington. Con.
.seQuently officials assume that the en-
perOr invited Mr.. Gerard to confer
with him. In both official and diplo-
matte quarters the injection of the
emperor's personality into the situa-
tion was regarded as being hopeful
situation.
President Wilson expects to receiv.
the German reply within the next few
days, although the basis for his ex-
pectation was not revealed.
The President, officials declare, will
not be Influenced in the slightest by
the thousands Of kilograms sent In
the past few days to Senators and
Representatives urging them not to
approve any action which might lead
to war. His course in the German
situation will be guided entirely by
the character of the German reply.

Carranza commander at Torreon, out

lister of war denied reports that there
was friction between himself and Cen
eral Venustiana Carranza.

81 am going to Juarez to convince
the American representatives that our

group of villa bandits which are still
at large and outside the law.
81 hope to arrange the prompt re-
tirement of the American troops into
their own country"
General Oregon was emphatic in
denouncing the reports which he said
had been circulated in the United
States that he had broken with the

FREE STATE OF IRELAND MAY BE
OUTCOME OF REVO.
LUTON.

New York, April 2S.-No one IA
miliar with the course of Irish affairs
since the outbreak of the war was
surprised at news of the insurrection
now in progress. according to a state
ment issued yesterday by John D.
Moore, national secretary Of the
Friends of Irish Freedom.
"The Irish rebellion was the act OF
brave and patriotic men who are nei-
Their firebrands nor hotheads," said
Mr.. Moore. "Now that Mr.. Asquith
has acknowledged that ii has spread
all over Ireland, it is clear that the
uprising has only one meaning, and
that is that Ireland is. as always, re-
solved to be free and independent
Convinced that England's necessi-
ties, never before pressing, would soon
drag them into the war, thousands of
gallant Irishmen have revolted be-
cause they prefer to die fighting
against England for Ireland than fight
ing for England in the trenches IN
Flanders.
IF the rebellion succeeds, it's lead
ers will rank with the worlds great
est men. II 1t fails, the Irish will love
them as they love Robert Emmett. Re-
volt does not look like a failure now.
1T completely skaters the careful
ly constructed myth that the mere
passage Of a mock home rule bill had
transformed Ireland into an integral
part OF the British Empire"

HUGE FORTUNE MADE BY POWDER
MANUFACTURER.
(Wall Street Journal.l

One hundred and fourteen years
ago Irene du Pont of Nemours, France
began the manufacture in a small
way of gunpowder on the banks Of
the Brandywine in Delaware. Today
the du Pont Powder Company is one
OF the most prosperous concerns In
the United States, and its organization
is a most essential unit in the national
defense Of the country-just as il was
in the war of 1912, when the original
du Pont donated a substantial amount
of explosives to the American forces
for use in engagements around the
Great Lakes.
The present du Pont company is
earning $15.OOO,OO net a month, and
1t has 175,0OO.00O on deposit in banks,
The resources OF the du Points put
them in the first line of the worlds
Industrial and financial leaders.
The du Pont Company of a hundred
years ago had mere $4,000. anG the
total assets them employed amounted
to 100000. At the end of 1915 total
assets were S25S.2S3.2 2O.
Not only have stockholders grown
rich. but employees also have be-
come wealthy, A pioneer in profit
sharing with employees, the du Pont
Company for years has set aside stock
for the workmen on favorable terms.
and its payroll now includes men who
have become rich to the extent of many
thousand dollars because OF the re-
markable rise In the price of the
stock. The last report showed there
we're l.l22 employees on the books OF
the company as shareholders out OF a
total OF S.s40 holders of record.

The lesson for tomorrow contains
the account of one of the most thrill
ing events of human history. Nothing
like II In recorded except in sacred
history. It was so startling that Peter,
who was delivered from prison in this
miraculous way, did not believe him
self free at first, nor did those praying
for him readily accept the report Of
his freedom as a fact.
Peter Arrested.
The motive for the arrest of Peter
by Herod was his desire to please
the Jews who were opposed to the
Christians of that time. He had put
James to death and now he intended
to execute Peter, one of the other
leaders. Up to this time the laymen
were being prosecuted. These acts
Of Herod were aimed at the leaders
in this new religious movement. Thus
Herod was led on by the applause Of
those who had demanded the blood Of
Jesus. Like others, Herod was I'M
worthyo etaolnshrdluetaoinun
Willingly being used as a tool by a
demoralized populace. Now and then
a city official of our day acts from like
motive and with equal unwisdom.
Opposing Forces.
But there were other forces with
which to reckon. Forces which were
not considered when Jesus was sealed
in the tomb nor upon many other oc-
casions, both in our time and Bible
times. Here We have Herod and his
advisors and state servants on the one
side and small company of praying
disciples and God on the other side
We mention God last because the
prayers of these disciples brought
from God the power which released
Peter. And so now our prayers are
important. The Christian people have
the secret of hidden power What
need we fear IF God be for us, who
can be against USE" In this case all
odds wede seemingly against Peter.
He was ready to die and was scarcely
able to believ the dellverance real and
not vision. The disciples too, were
able to see no human help and so were
surprised when Peter stood before
them free from the prison chains.
Spiritual DeliVerance.
Just so, there are men who are
bound by the evil forces of our day
Bad habits, bad companions, and there
fore, bad dispositions, have bound
them to the satanic prison cell
All these can be freed, should be
freed. There is power sufficient. Like
Peter they should follow the servant
OF God when he calls to them to fol-
low. AS In Peters case, when once
we start, the chains begin to fall and
closed doors begin to open. There is
a way out of the past bad self into a
better self That way is through Jesus,
the Deliverer and Savior.
