schools was observed at the morning
service yesterday in Eastlake Pres

Cunningham, preached a special scr
mon on gRelielon in Public Educa-
ton. An extract Of the sermon fol-
lows:
"our public educational system is
the greatest enterprise in America
today The number OF pupils enroll
ed is 1880 900. There are some $50.
900 teachers. The average monthly sal
airy of the teachers is S66. The esti-
mated value of all property used for

ture for such schools is about S505,

schools.
"In fifteen OF our States there are
no laws nor opinions bearing direct
" on the use OF the Bible in the pub
lie school rooms. Delaware is one OF
this number. We believe that the
Bible ought 20 have a place in every
State institution whether educational
penal. legislative or administrative
Religion has many important nation
al bearings. and is therefore, to a
certain extent, of a political nature
The State needs religion for its own
uveit beinp IL can be shown that
civil society. as we know it. cannot
exist without religion.
"The Bible has been pronounced
the foundation of both moral and
civil law. The flag should be upon
every school house, and the Bible in
every school room"

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

Butter Production.
The Dairy Commissioner, at drst an
1ual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association. reviewed pro
gress Of 1915 which shows q great In
crease in the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the Inn
provement In quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out Of the province for the year to-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued BY
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had q very
successful year in 1915. There was an
Increase Of over 1.00O. 900 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced. as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease In dairy butter and over 26.O00
Lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427. 900. The
production Of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,16O, ,444 lbs.
and It brought an average price Of 28c
per lb.; Of creamery butter 6.SS9.06
lbs. were produced which commanded
20c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, ,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 16c-the total
value Of these three products IL given
% 42,70O, ,006, In addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $925. $50
and the cream at $159, 1927. the average
price Of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lb. and Of sweet cream 1T SEC
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry It IL interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, Of which the
1915 production amounted to 100. .132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop 70 timothy which for last season
produced 108,857 tons and the next

there were produced some 5000 tons.
The number Of cattle In the province
IL given AZ 6S1 .006. which IL an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
a. much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, 1t was
announced the factory had Just
shipped two tons Of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons a rate Of 27hc per

naming over all expenses Of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61. III and manu-
factured $4,000 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28k cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta IL well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here, which In 1915 pro-
duced 2,525. 600 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found market In all
