a real live church organization.
They are doing things. The church
membership has been greatly in
creased the past year and the Sun
day school has an attendance of
nearly one hundred. Further
improvements are being made on
the church building, an important
part of which is a metal ceiling
and new wall decorations. Rev,
Stratton is an organizer and has
enlisted some able assistants and
the Baptist organization in Laclede
is no longer a dead one. They are
doing good.

Stops When Time is Out

While many weekly papers have
added twenty FIVE ~or fifty cents to
their price of subscription THE
BLADE remains one dollar per year,
for this year at least. In order to
maintain this price, however, we
must have the money in advance.
We are paying cash for all supplies
and taking advantage of all dis
counts on paper stock in order to
keep the advance in price of job
work to the consumer as low as
possible and make no advance at
all on subscription. Our subscrib-
ers, or at least very large per
cent of them, appreciate this and
pay promptly when notified of ex-
piration. The paper is sent only
one or two weeks after the time
expires and if not renewed then the
name is dropped. So far this year
we have added a half dozen new,
names for every one dropped which
leads us to believe the people ap-'
prove the system of discontinuing
when time is out.

Aiding Farm Bureau Work

Az a meeting of the advisory
council and other interested mem
bers of the County Farm Bureau
held in Linneus the last day of
March every man present pledged
himself to give a definite amount
per year for three years toward
paying for the work of the Farm
Bureau. Checks for the first year. S
payment were made out and left
with the signed pledges agreeing
to give the same amount in 1918
and 1919. This action followed a
unanimous vote of the meeting to
proceed with raising the necessary
local funds to finance the Farm
Bureau for three years. A letter
from the agricultural extension
service was read, stating the full
amount of state and federal aid
would be available when the
amount to come from the county is
subscribed for. The plan being
followed will enable the county
court to contract with the Univer-
sity, thus securing the annual state
and federal aid, having previously
received subscriptions for money
to come from local sources. The
amount of state and federal aid
available each year is approximate
ly $130O.0O; the amount to be
raised in the county approximate
ly $15OO.OO. Toward raising the
sum of $15OO.OO annually the sub
scriptions received at the Linneus
meeting are a good beginning.
Blank pledges similar to those
signed at Linneus are now in the
hands of township counciImen and
others. Four hundred farmers
have formed an organization. the
purpose of which is to make the
agriculture of the county more
profitable and more efficient. The
organization will grow in member
ship and accomplish it's purposes
because it deserves to succeed.
Another recent and not unimpor-
;ant reason why the organization
should be at work is that Linn
county should do it's part in SOL
wing the problem of producing
more food as our country enters
he war. The money for financing
he County Farm Bureau is being
'aised. For the good of all con-
'erned the organization can not be

iGent Wilson's peace note outlined
the aims of the allies as far as could
lie done at this time, adding the signi-
ficant remark that threats of further
outrages against the common rights
OF humanity. only serve to steel our

The opening of parliament was
shorn of all the usual pomp, the
king wearing his khaki field uniform,
while members of the house of lords
and commons entitled to do so, all
wore either army khaki or regulation
navy blue. The uniforms of army
and navy officers were of field pat
terms, and without the usual gold
lace and embellishments.
