The American Sunday School union
announces preparations for the cele'
bration of it's one hundredth annivers-
airy the coming year. 1t has had a
remarkable record Of results and is
now widely known as a powerful fac
tor in the religious and social devel-
opment Of rural America. APPROX
matcly 10000 Sunday schools have
been founded, or an average or ABOUT
four a day Thus, literally, millions
of children have been taught the prln-
ciples Of christianity and the adVant-
lagos of upright living. And In addl-
ton to these millions OF children,
many thousands of parents have be-
come converted to christian lives as
direct result Of the society's work.
At the present time there are more
than $50 active field missionaries pro-
noting the work Of the American Sun
day School union throughout the coun-
try. 1t is the particular work of
these missionaries to establish and
equip Sunday schools in communities
which are without religious develop
ment. Much Of their work is in UNI
developed sections Of the country and
difficult of access. Many of them have
experienced the most severe hard
ships. q, > Pee. .s..E ....
The American Sunday School union
is non-denominational in form and in
ter-denoninational in it's work. Its
headquarters are at 1916 Chestnut St.,
Philadelphia, Pa, fully occupying a
large four story building where an
extensive force of people is employ
ed. Its board Of managers consists
of laymen representing seven differ
ent denominations. No publications
can be issued by the society to which
any one member objects. In summing
up, it might be said that the whole
object of the organization is to serve
as practical and efficient agency in
the promotion of Sunday school work
and in social, intellectual and spirit
ual development of rural cOmmuni-
ties throughout the country.
The principal officers are as fol-
lows: President, Martin Luther Finck-
ell; vice presidents, Clarkson Cloth
Ter and, James F. Stone, M. d.; re-
cording secretary, William H. Hirst;
treasurer, John E. Stevenson. Rev.

doubt the wisdom of lodging SO much
power in the hands of one man in a
crisis such as the country finds itself
in at this time. We have no doubt
but what the president feels that he
is able to cope with all questions that
arise, but we think that the congress
of the United States could be more
safely trusted to deal with the deli
cate questions that will presen them
selves within the next few months
than any one man. We sincerely hope
that special session of congress
will be called and that the session
may last until a solution Of the trouble
with Germany is determined.
In saying this we are not question
ing the good faith of the president,
but judging from his record in
public questions in the past,
we are inclined to believe that the
interests Of the American people
would be safer in the hands of con-
gress than in the president alone

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George IA. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $50 per acre.
These lands are in q high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid Improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on a quarter section In Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
B5 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
85 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. Els
share. 1,643 bushels of / Northern at
$1.56 per bushel, gave him $2,563.OS.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.O0. Allow
Ing a share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $4,000, and he
has left 100000, that is SO per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another YER
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
'.That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
Ing a number OF farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. Ell. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought q quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre neal Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: well George, what shall
/ tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: "Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight.
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1916 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when ut home devotes
most OF his time to raising and deal
Ing in live stock. On his first visit Of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: "Let na-
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
FALL, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
In it.'-Advertisement. e
