MISSION WORK IN
FOREIGN LANDS
TO BE DISCUSSED
American Board of Commits
sioners for Foreign Mis-
sions to Convene at Toledo
the Coming Week.

Toledo, O., Oct. 21.-The American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions will begin its annual meeting
in the new auditorium of First church
In this city next Tuesday, and will be
in session three days. President Ed
ward C. Moore of Boston will preside.
Two to three hundred corporate mem
bers, returned foreign missionaries,
and workers in home fields and their
wives, officers of the various women s
mission boards and theological stu
dents will attend, in addition to many
prominent Congregational ministers
and laymen.
Owing to the crisis brought about by
the European war In Armenia and
other foreign fields. the meeting will
be the most important held by the
board since its organization in 1910.
Twenty-Five missionaries from Tur-
key, India, China Japan. Africa and
the Balkans will be seen and heard in
brief speeches during the three days.
DR.. G. Glenn Askins of Providence is
to preach the annual sermon. Other
prominent speakers will include DR..
Harry F. Dewey of Minneapolis, Pro-
fessor Edward I. Bosworth of Oberlin
and President Albert P. Fitch Of An
dover Theological seminary.
A picturesque session will be that
OF Thursday evening. when four
young men from mission fields will
tell What the American Board Has
Done for Our People" Columbus K.
Simango is t. represent Africa and S.
J. Theodore is to be heard in behalf of
India. Turkey is to be represented by
G. T. Pushman, an Armenian well
known in Chicago business circles,
while Shaowu Chuan, a student a,
Hartford Theological seminary. will
speak for China
Probably the liveliest discussion of
the convention will center around the
report of President H. C. King of OBJ
erlin on South America and the re-
suits of the Panama conference. Many
persons believe the American board
ought to establish missions in Latin
America, the only great field in which
1t no whas no work. Others feel that
till endorsements of workers and of
money have been sent to needy and
clamoring fields now occupied. no new
work should be attempted. Both
parties will point to the large in
crease in subscriptions last year
he receipts totaling s1.2o7.o0O, as an
argument for their. opinions.

BIG MONEY IN CROPS.


o. NJ. Collins, prominent farmer IF
the Uniontown section. today sold to
the Vollmer- Clearwater COMPANY n
portion of his 1916 crop and some old
grain left from last year, the consid :
Grafton being approximately $40. 900
IL Is understood the bulk of the wheat
was purchased for the Lewiston Mill
Ing company, the purchase having been
made by Robert Abel, representative OF
the Vollmer- Clearwater company. The
price paid per bushel is not made pub
lie. but it Is stated about $4,000 bushels
Of wheat were involved in the deal
Mr.. Collins Is one of the largest
farmers of the Uniontown section and
has farm lands on the Nez Perez and
Camas prairies. 1t is estimated the
value of his 1916 crop will be consid
erably in excess of 5000.
The prices have experienced little
change in the Uniontown section for
the past several days. The buyers are
offering about sissy for choice brew
ing white barley and wheat prices
range from $1.16 to s1.25. The harvest
Is completed in all sections and It is
estimated that about 70 per cent of the
new crop has passed from the hands of
the growers.
The prize summer fallow crop for
this section has been marketed by Ell
mer Nichols. who realized $4,000 from
70 acres of peas, or an average of $50
per acre. Mr.. Nichols is engaged in
farming near town and this season
seeded 20 acres of peas as an expert
ment. The big profits secured will
doubtless result in a large acreage be-
ir3 sown to peas next season, the re-
port being that peas are in demand
and all seed companies are anxious to
bid on the crops.
Rain is much needed in the Union
town section and unless showers are
soon experienced, fears are entertained

"lf the voters of Idaho do not
arouse themselves and take a
lively part in politics and in the
primary election to arrest the
hands of political pirates and
commercial bandits, they will
wake up next winter to find a
legislature and a governor in the
state capitol at Boise ready to do
the bidding of these nercenaries."
That is part of the solemn warn
ing isued to Idaho citizens by
Judge James F. Ailshie of Occur
d. Alene, formerly a member Of
the Idaho supreme court.
Judge Ailshie declares that there Is
a deliberate plot afoot to loot the
state. and that the conditions he de-
scribes are real and not theoretical.
This menace should be impressed
on the minds of the voters by disin-
terested citizens-by men and women
who are not candidates for office" he
continues.
MAKING MIGHTY EFFORT.
II have been in Idaho over rs years
and l believe l am safe in saying that
at no time in the history OF the state
has there been such a concentrated
effort on the part OF big business and
corporations, foreign and domestic, to
control certain offices, especially the
legislature, as Is being put forth at
this time and at no time have the peo-
pie been to all appearances less alert
to the situation.
The high tide of what has been
derisively styled agitation and
reform seems to be subsiding
and while that is Transporting the
gum shoe agents, special repre-
sentatives' and salaried attorneys
of these interests dominated by
greed who want legislation that
will give legal sanction to their
loot want to control public Of
fees and name appointees from
among their retainers-all these
are now busy getting candidates
out for office.
URGES VOTERS TO BE ALERT.
Il know something of conditions in
Idaho and l feel that every voter in
the state ought to be urged to take an
active interest in the nomination of
candidates, especially for the legisla-
ture and governor. and If, after the
primaries are over, they find that they
have not cleared the ticket of all the
machine and corporation candidates,
that they finish the job at the general
election, Irrespective o. the political
party to which the candidate may be-
long.
Idaho has suffered irreparably In
her reputation and commercial well
fare alike during recent years on ac-
count OF being dominated by machine
politics that most people feel has been
the source of corruption in her pub
lie business and offices. This has been
the condition in state politics and I'M
fortunately it has reached into a num-
Der of the counties as well.

GOOD YEAR FOR CLEARWATER

A dispatch from Orofino says: This
has been an exceptionally good bean
year In the Clearwater valley. In the
Gilbert region 600 acres of beans have
been harvested, the average running
better than 1000 pounds of beans to
the acre. Dobson brothers, the pio-
neers in this industry, harvested 105
acres. the yield averaging 1900 pounds
to the acre. They have refused So per
pound for their crop. ALDER brothers
had 70 acres that turned out equally as
well. Other farmers in that section
who have met with similar success are:
w. c. Musser. 20 acres; Plank broth
ers, 70 acres; Bryant brothers, 60
acres; Felix Edwards. 20 acres; Har-
vey Miller, 30 acres; Ben Trutton. 60

BEANS WORTH HALF MILLION.

A Juliaetta, Ida, dispatch to the
Spokesman Review says: Within a
40 mile circle. with the towns of Julia
eta and Kendrick being taken as the
centers, a crop of beans was grown this
season representing a valuation Of more
than 100000. The figures are based
on an estimate of 10000 acres of beans.
with an average yield of 1000 pounds
per acre, and at the present price of 6
cents a pound just as they como from
the threshing machines.
Even the cracked or split beans COM
mand O price of more than $40 a ton
for use in Chinese souphouses. while
the hay" or hulls of the heads sells
readily at So ton as cow feed.
On Big Potlatch ridge this season a
farmer was given one third the crop of
beans on his land as rental, which net
ted him more than $40 an acre for hav-
ing his land summer fallowed to beans.
On Cream ridge, near Lenore. a crop
of beans was grown this season that
was valued at $50 an acre, which was
about the value per acre of the land on
which the beans were grown.

Melrose Beacon: On basis of alb
solute worth and ability Sixth District
voters should send w. F. Donohue to
Congress as their next representative.
Mr.. Donohue is man of sterling char
acter, outstanding ability, political ex-
perience, and a knowledge of public
affairs. Before the primary election
the Beacon pointed out that without
regard to party Mr.. Donohpe was by
far the strongest candidate in this dis
trict, and this is more than ever true
since the primary. The republican
nominee, Harold Knutson of st. Cloud,
is young man who has no experience,
even in the slightest way, to justify has
election; he is a very pleasant gentle
man but we have failed to find a sin
gle reason for sending him to congress.
We believe that many hundreds of re-
publican ballots will be cast for Mr..
Donohue next fall and Stearns county
people should make every effort to
swell the total.

Roosevelt's letter to the progress.
sive national committee is insincere,
hypocritic and full Of cant. He has
sold those who trusted him, and the
interesting question is as to what the
deal is between Hughes and the col.
onel. He says he is for Hughes be-
cause of his record, yet he has him
self criticised that record and he knew
all about it before the convention. He
says a third ticket would be bad, yet
he did not say 50 till after. He talks
progressiveness and offered the reac-
tionary Lodge as a candidate. His
letter is the purest buncombe, and the
letter Of Hughes to him is fulsome
and nauseating. What great big
faker this man Roosevelt is.

HOW TO CLEAN STRAW HATS

ITO make straw hats look Ike
new,' says the July Woman 8 Home
Companion,'' have your druggist nre-
pare a small quantity of shellac cut
with alcohol, light-colored shellac for
light hats, brown shellac for brown or
dark colors. For black hats you may
add to the brown shellac and alcohol a
small quantity Of nigrosine. Shake
we'll before using. Apply lightly and
evenly with a small brush. It is we'll
to lay the hat aside for few hours
to dry thoroughly, and to allow the
odor Of alcohol to evaporate. If the
mixture is too thick, add little more
alcohol; if too thin, add little more
shellac.''
