"DEVIL" TO STAY
 IN RITUAL OF THE
 METHODIST CHURCH

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Although a certain group in the Methodist Ep- lscopal church believe "devir only a tgurative expression, efforts to have the word expunged from the ritual of the church have failed.
 That the board of bishops did not agree with the faction which would delete the word ''devir' from the church documents became known yesterday when the first copies ol the new Methodist Discipline arriy- ed in Chicago. It still provides the requirement that candidates for bap- tism renounce "the devil and all his works"

OF Industry and Commerce af-
ter European War Predict
ed for United States.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27.-Pre-
dieting a period of "feverlsh activity
in this country during tho continu-
ance of the war and upon Its close
a p%rostration Of the industry and
commerce Of all countries" Alba B.
Johnson, president Of the Baldwin
Locomotive works, in the opening ad-
dress at the Third National Foreign
trade convention in New Orleans to-
day emphasized the necessity for a
truly national foreign trade policy
which would prepare the United
States for the keener competition ex-
pected to prevail in the world mar
kets after the war. He said:
ut will be necessary for US to learn
team work, by which is meant core
lation Of the efforts Of manufactur-
er, merchant, banker and investor.
Hitherto u bankers have been re-
luctant to enter the field Of foreign
finance; commission houses have toe
frequently been free-lances, pushing
trade along the lines Of least resist
'ance or not in such a way as to create
permanent and reliable trade. Our
manufacturers have had to fight sin
gle-handed for their foreign trade,
and 1t is wonderful how well they
have succeeded In view OF the condi-
rtions of competition which they had
had to meet.
1.-THE creation Of the Federal Trade
Commission must prove to be Of great
benefit to our manufactures and ex-
porters. 1t is studying with minds
free from prejudice the complicated
problems which affect our export
trade and / am sure they will remove
any doubts as to the rights Of the
Americans to arrange for combina-
Itlons for foreign trade such as are
lawful for their competitors Of other
nations"
Mr.. johnson called attention to the
possibility Of economic alliance
among those countries which had
united their fortunes for. war, and
upon the possible adverse effect o.
such policies upon the trade Of the
UNITED States.

WHERE NO ONE LIVED
/ TWO YEARS AGO

E. L. Luther, superintendent OF
farmers institutes, sends us the
following about an institute at Weir
gor, a new settlement where no one
lived two vars ago.
Fifteen months ago Weirgor was
not on the map 1t was lying dor
mant in cut-over lands of forests.
In January 1916 there are in this
vicinity 142 families settled and
commencing new homes.
''Weirgor now has one CT the fin
est district school buildings that one
can imagine There are a couple of
stores, post office, fine eating
place and good, log community
room. An investigation Of the sill
of that region shows that is is most
ly of hard wood origin and good.
Splendid streams of the finest kind
filled with speckled trout abound.
The settlers of the region are Of
high class and full of hope and de-
termination.
Though the farmers institute was
held at most unfortunate time, as
the farmers were for the most part
engaged in logging and other team
ing, the schoolhouse was filled with
q most attentive audience. One
farmer drove in seven miles and
brought ten people. The little com
munity at Meteor turned out ana
showed that it was made up OF
progressive people A committee of
three, consisting Of John FCss, II. G.
Busse, and Bert Zettle was APP
pointed to see that this community
had another institute. Fl. G. Busse,
Bert Zettle, and Dave Senesac, Of
Meteor, signified desire to know
more about securing pure bred
bull for that community. Howard
Busse asked for milk sheets, Fl. G..
Busse brought along with him his
fine family of five sons, and John
Ftoss his fine family Of three SINS.
F.. Messerschmidt of WeirgCr showed
a sample of splendid Green Mountain
potatoes. Much interest was shown
in better potato growing and some
time this spring a community pota-
to growers association will be or
ganized. One Of the institute work
ers said that this was one Of the
best institutions in which he had
worked
GA. C. Thompson, Henry WILSON
and F. NJ. Doyle, of Ladysmith, We're
present to help make the institute
a success. These men are interested
in the land about Weirgor, and are
active in helping the settlers make
good. These men acting as the To-
cal committee were responsible for
the general arrangements and adj
Vertising which made the institute
such a success. With fine soil, fine
settlers. and good bunch OF
boosters back of them, the Weir5Cr
community will surely prove to be
one of the best farming sections in
the state. Press Bulletin, Wsc0n-

NATIONS MORTGAGED
TO PAY WARS COST

The national debts of England
France and Germany are now equal
to from One-tenth to one sixth Of the
total wealth Of these nations, and
the interest charges on the debts are
appreciate portions of the entire in
come of the nations" declared Presi
dent c. Il. Van Hisa Of the UNI
Versity of Wisconsin in an address
at the convention Of the National
Association of Credit Men in Chicago
last week
The national debts of the three
countries at the end of 1915, accord
ing to his figures, are: United King
dom, $10,419, 000,0 GOO; Germany, ST.
100000; France, $10,514,0 900, 900.
The annual interest charges upon
these debts is about as follows:
United Kingdom, $521,000, 1000; Ger
many, 1854 900, 0C0; France, 1926, 000-
600. The total wealth and incomes
Of the nations are about as follows:
United Kingdom, wealth, ninety bill
lion, income twelve and a quarter
billion; Germany, wealth, eighty bill
lion, income ten and half billion;
France, wealth, sixty-five billion, in
come seven an a half billion.
The magnitude of these debts will
be appreciated when it is recalled
that the debt of the United States
after the civil war, at that time the
most colossal debt of any nation
was $2,75S,O00, 600"
These unexampled debts and the
Industrial and regulatory measures
which have accompanied the war
will result, DR.. Van Hise declared,
in a social transformation in Europe
following the war at a speed never
before approached.

Usage ORANGE WASTE
USED IN DYESTUFFS

While seeking a use for thousands
of tons of waste Usage orange wood,
the Forest Products laboratory at
the University of Wisconsin has dis
covered that the wood contains a
dye which may be used in wool and
leather industries as satisfactorily
as fustic wood
Because of it's durability, hardness,
and small shrinkage, Usage orange
is extensively used for wagon rims,
insulator pins, fence posts, and sim
liar uses, but the irregular shape Of
the trees results in q large waste.
Exhaustive tests made by the lab
oratory, in cooperation with textile
schools and tanneries, have shown
that the dye in Usage orange wood
can be substituted for the fuStic
wood now imported from Mexico and
South America, for dying wool and
leather.
From $1,000 to $4,000 tons of Texas
and Oklahama Usage orange waste
are available annually-tWice the
present consumption OF fustic wood
and can be delivered in northern
ports at a much lower price AS a
result of the laboratory's work, five
carloads of Usage orange waste have
been purchased by a large eastern
concern manufacturing dyestuffs TO
be given a thorough commercial
trial.

THE WORLDS WHEAT CROP.

The world was just garnering a re-
cord-breaking crop when the war
broke out two years ago. The sue
ceeding year it got feverishly busy and
did it again. This year there is a dis
tinct ~retrocession. The wheat CROP
this year is estimated at $50. 600, 900
bushels less than last years, or about
IL per cent. This is enough to &C
count for the sharp rise in prices.
Most Of the worlds wheat loss is ac-
counted for right here in the United
States, which has about ESQ, 900 900
bushels less than in 1915.
Nevertheless. the worlds crop is
larger than the. average for the five
years preceding the a The fact
seems to be that the withdrawal of
vast numbers of people from ordinary
industry, to fight, learn to fight, make
munitions and supplies, is now telling
on supplies.
There are likely to be two years more.
of war, according to Che authorities.
though some think a year may finish
it. It Will require a long time after
peace to redistribute the workers to
the most ef1cient resumption Of nor
NAL activities. So it may reasonably
be assumed that there will be two
years more Of wad demand and prfSes,
and after that a year, two years, or
more of high prices.-Farm and Fire
