The Green Forest tribune., 1916-09-01

"Go ve therefore and teach all na- tions," etc The church edifice was crowded a'- most to it's capacity when the lady arose to tell her experiences as mlssionafy in that faraway and benighted country which were of c pathetic character ard whatever doubts the writer may have entertained as to the wisdom or expending money in sending missloha- ries to heathen lands were entirely dls- pelled after hearing the lady tell or the uplift of the people from immorali- tv degredation and serfdom after en- bracing christianity. And Gods word clearly admonishes us to teach all na- tions the way of life eternal.
 Our limited space forbids to go into any extended review of the lady s work as q missionary While Miss Fish CT drew a gloomy picture ot conditions existing in the country under discussion her mission of love and mercy and that of others has not been in vain: In view of the great obstacles that beset i these noble. sclf-sacrificipg mlsslOna- ries to benighted countries their work in Christianizihg and placing un a higher plane people who knew not God has been marvellous. It has been less than q decade that China would not allow a Christian to enter her gates, now the people are calling for missionaries to tell them the cid, old story of Jesus and His love.
 1 India is two-thirds the size of the United States, said Miss Fisher, but has a population of three hundred mil lion souls; magnificent and costly tenn ples are erected to idols She told ot mothers sacrificing their children by throwing them in the Ganges river 1T their blind worship of idols, and that the condition of the women would not bear repeating.
 It is said that every cloud has a silver nnlng. The speaker told ot Schools for the education of boys and girls, anc that since the first missionary went tc India 140, GOO have been baptized and that 160, 900 were awaiting baptism. This last assertion may appear strange, but Miss Fisher explained the lack of missionaries to perform the rites was the cause for delay, and another req son is that those baptized are subject ed to great persecution.
 The address was edifying and rev elation to many and it was listened to with wrapt attention, and Miss Fisher has been frequently complimented by one to another for her vivid and able portrayal of life in India, the customs of it's people and the work of the mis- sionares.

Penny Postage

Etflclency ln the post office d part ment with proper readjustment oi rates will permit the government tc lnaugurate a one cent letter rate within the next year, according to postmaster General Albert S. Burleson.
 This emphatic statement made b1 the postmaster general before the Ma. tlonal Association of Postmasters ol the United States at their July 191f Convention, indicates that this import ant reform IS much nearer realization than most people believe and that next winter will see radical steps taken to- ward this end.
 In addressing the postmasters Gener- al Burleson declared that they are giv. ing the best postal service in the worId today, and that is what the American farmer and business man are entitled to, for they pay for it. He advised the postmasters to spare no expense that means greater efficiency.
 i'"I 'ii~I uoeS DOL lHedD e&Lf2V2- gance" said MT Burleson. Where is an official who will not tell me that employees useless to the service should not be topped off? do not want to be hard on postal employees. l believe the government should require only . certain number of hours work, and tha; under sanitary and comfortable condi. tions, at salary not only adequate, but generous. It is my purpose anc your duty to see that all employees per. form an adequate service for the money expended
 Every dollar intelligently saved car be utilized for the improvement. devel- Gpment and extension of service, re. sulting in a reduction in postage fol those served
 "Plans are being worked out for the solution of railway mail service prob iems. They are being solved in a way that will enable the United States to pay the railroads adequate compensation for service rendered, and pay only for service received. With this result. if next year we can make those using the second class mall service pay one- half part of what they should, we can go before congress and take the first step toward penny postage. '

The Passing of Summer.

According to the almanac today ends the summer of 1916 and tomorrow will usher in the harvest season. Autumn comes touched with beauty and with a promise fulfilled, and autumn will bring to us the garnered fruits of the field. Autumn comes with the energies of men burned out and with the earth parehed and dry, with Hstless woods and dropping flowers awaiting the final call which will come in few brief weeks.
 We view the end of summer with qualification and regret. We instinct lyely feel that our lives are passing like the days of suumer. Some of us have entered the autumn season of fife. some of us still finger in the dying days of our summer, and to such the passinc of youth and the silent approach of time that marshals us into gray-haired days of winter. Oh the summer iovs that would not last tho fain their hands we'd hold shall slumbering lie in the silent pass with radiance bright as gold.

ono.Half Mic of Good Road

Bachelor Bill Atkinson called Friday not to advertise for cook but to tel us about the one-half mile of good road built in his neighborhood.
 This road starts at the cornor o1 what is known as the Jagerman farm on the Denver and Green Forest road about three miles northwest of Green Forest and extends south about one half mile.
 About one hundred loads of stone were hauled and beat up with large hammers. The county grader was pro- cured and the road was graded and then dragged. All the work was donated, and done in five days. The other expenses were about $50.00, ....ar % s.zs.ss ;3 sAsss9 a7pass-|jYs citizens.

Last Word on the
County air

Are you proud of your home county oc ashamed of it If you ate proud of 1t, we ask you to help make the exhibit in the division of field and garden crops a good one This has been an unusual season, but for all that we have seen enough of the crops of the county to know that splendid showing can be made. And we are making this last appeal to the farmers of Carroll county to help make creditable showing of what can be done here a season like this has been.
 Look over the farm and select an exhibit of your best crops - Corn, Wheat. Oats, Grasses, Forage crops, potatoes and vegetables and baled hay. By using little diligence and care most every farmer could make good showing on some productof the field or garden If your boy belongs to the Demons ration Club work encourage him and he will help you. If your girl belongs to the Demonstration Club work encourage her to help get up the exhibit for your farm; load them all into the wagon. buggy or hack and come ia and lets show folks wh&, Car roll county can do under the most un- favorable conditions, and they will wonder what she could do under fav- oYabla conditions.
 The patronage and encouragement giyen the Fair this season will probably determine it's future. No one expects to make money out of the Fair. Itis an effort of the business men to help encourage our people tomake the most of our opportunities Will you do your part? It may not be much, but its the little things that go to make the big ones.
 Come out and help us make a spi.n- did exhibit of the products of our fields.

 County Agent
