Mr. Meredith has sent out a letter

he says he has not been fairly treat
ed by Mr.. F'itZ, member of the
Methodist church at Manson, and q
member Of the board of the Metho-

Of using inuendo and insinuation.
This may be called a case in political
equity, and Mr. Meredith should
come with clean hands. But in
stead he comes with foul inuendoes
and insinuations of his own and
therefore is not entitled to a hearin g

liquor interests are supporting Mr.
Harding and he refers to his 0ppCn-

that comes asking for fair treatment
in such language is not entitled to
any consideration whatsoever. Re

"The public was first impressed with
the fact that the principal cause of
hay-fever in the United States, were
the rag weeds. whose pollen during
the months of August and September
filled the atmosphere with their irri-
tating pollens. and that these, as we'll
as most of the other plants which
cause hay-fever, had already been out
lawed by the agricultural interests.

cation of hay-fever weeds.
DR.. Scheppegrell's association en-
ployes inspectors to assist the local
authorities in the discovery and
prosecution of the violators of the
grass and weed ordinances
"It is important. however. in pre-
pairing such ordinances that the re
quirements should not he too drastic -
said DR.. Scheppegrell. "In a promin-
ent city, for instance, there is at
present an ordinance requiring the
grass to be kept below four inches,
the results of which is continual legal
OPPOSITION to its enforcement We
have made the limit twelve inches,
which is sufficient 10 prevent the
pollination of most hay-fever weeds

Professionalism in Turkey were de-
scribed here tonight by Clarence D..
User, NJ. D. of Van, Turkey, before
the American board Of commission
ers of foreign missions. DR.. USHER
said in part:
when the Russian ambassador
said to Dr., Schaufler in Constantine
pie My Master, the car Of all the
Russians, will never permit Protes-
tanism TO set it's foot in Turkey Dr..
Schaufer replied: The kingdom of
Jesus Christ. which is Master will
never ask the car of all the Russians
where it may set foot
"To understand the problem of mis-
sions in Russia, we must understand
Russia's viewpoint In Turkey the
sultan is head Of the Moslem faith,
and to renounce the faith of Islam is
to renounce the sultan and so is
treason punishable with death. So
also in Russia the car is the head
of the holy Russian or Orthodox
church outside of which all Christians
are hereticls.
ITO renounce the orthodox church
is to renounce its head, the car. and
has only nominally been removed
from the list Of capital offenses. The
church in Russia is supreme, is the
government The fact that the
Orthodox church is the government,
explains why the Russian government
feels itself obligated before God TO
bring all the world under its sway
and so into the one churd(l.
Russia would be much more pros
porous would she devote her atten-
ton to her thinly populated country.
But in spirit of sacrifice to God, she
is ready TO undertake the impossible

thority. Until | learned this, could
not understand Russia's constant
reach for land in the interior of Asia
where there was no possibility Of Civ
ing the old excuse of warm weather
port
'"This devotion to right as she sees
it. and held with the bigotry of a
church which calls itself orthodox
must be reckoned with. Our approach
to evangelize the land must be with
faith seasoned with sympathy AS
liberal as the Russians are bigoted.

Turks are doing but We must not for

A PERFECT FIT.

Substitute the words Pine Bluff for
the word Houston wherever it APP
pears in the following editorial,
which appeared recently in the Hous-
ton (Texas) Post, and you will have a
made to-order analysis of Pine Bluffs
case:
"The Post was saying yesterday
that Cleveland became great city
during Houstons own period Of ex-
istence because its founders realized |
the importance Of manufacturing, and
that Houston has had but a moderate
growth because it's development has
depended largely upon selling pro-
duets manufactured elsewhere. Sell
ing or distributing products demand
ed by consumers is necessary
function of commerce, but it can not
build cities as manufacturing does.
Suppose, for instance, that Hous-
ton were to sell annually at whole
sale $10O0O0,O0O worth of products
manufactured elsewhere. 1t would be
a d reditable Wholesale trade, but it
requires no large numebor of people
to sell $10OO00,00O worth of goods
at wholesale. One salesman may
easily spend a week on the road and
sell $4,000 or $4,000 worth of goods,
and it is conceivable that the bulk of
his sales might go right from the
factory in distant state in carload
lots and not touch Houston at all.
But $1O0,00o,O0O worth of goods
manufactured in Houston would be
an entirely different proposition. 1t
might give employment to 10000 or
even 100000 people and distribute in
the city $50,0O0,000 in wages alone to
say nothing of other benefits. Aud
that $4,000 or 100000 would be added
to our army of tenants, car patrons,
dry goods and grocery consumers,
drug buyers, amusement patrons, etc.
And their very trade would require
material expansion of our retail
business which of itself would need
more employees to dare for the trade.
"And it would increase our whola-
sale selling force by the hundreds.
I Selling is not even half the process.
Real thrift in community sense is
im MAKE things and then sell them. A
community then obtains the benefits
of labor's portion. the profits of max
ing and the profits Of selling.
"The realization of Houston S
metropolitan ambitions are bound TO
be deferred so long as we neglect
the manufacturing end of the game.
because that is really the big end.
That has been demonstrated in Cleve-
land, Detroit, Pittsburg, Baltimore,
| New York, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Chicago and
all our great cities.
"One great industry has built Biz
mingham. Atlanta and Richmond are
bee oming great because they are sue
aIsssfully manufacturing great va
riety of products, and, mind you,
there is no navigation at Atlanta and
none too much at Richmond.
"Col. Tom Randolph, the we'll
, known st. Louis banker, says he finds
the banks in Houston and elsewhere
full of money and available for in
vestment in commercial bills. of
which there is evidently limited sup
ply at present. Why is not much 81
this Texas money available for in
vestment in industrials that will
create wealth and utilize our un-
touched resources?

tunity TO become really great lies"
