COAL SUPPLY AMPLE.

Not only food but fuel is a vital
need of this country and of our
allies; coal to run the ships and
railroads, to feed the iron furnaces
and furnish steam for all the
manufacturing plants. coal in great
er quantities than have ever before
been mined in the United States or
is any part of the world; and this
need is being met In truly American
fashion by the operators and owners
of the mines and by the diggers of

tary Franklin X. Lane began his

ton as reported TO him by the

missions" is word often in the
headlines of the newspapers nova
days-but it alludes to the deputa-
tions sent by the Allied nations to
the United States and from America
to Russia. In connection Herewith
n single budget of seven billions
of dollars was voted for the world
war. The expenditures now being
made to preserve civilization make
all that has been given to Christian
missions seem small. We are learn
ing anew that great goals are worthy
of great gifts.
There are various ways of COM
ing into contact with the foreign
mission field. Some of us may touch
1t with our hands, gathering the ripe
grain for the Kings garner; others
of us may touch it only through the
contribution box; the point of con-
tact is our gifts; still others reach
the regions beyond by way of the
Mercy Seat; they are the Christians
whose prayers constantly ascend for
the cause of missions. The first of
these means is a privilege granted
only to few; the other two rest as
a duty upon every follower of the
Saviour of the world.
The command to give is as imper-
ative. and divine as the command to
go. The obligation upon most of
us to support the work of the gospel
Is as direct and as real as the obli-
cation upon the few to preach the
gospel themselves. We fiatter our
selves that our giving is liberality.

I our debtor. The truth is we ought
to give; 1t is our plain duty to do
so, and failure to give would mean
violation of our loyalty to Christ
Opportunities are beckoning
hands. The world has never seen so
many open doors for the gospel.
We may go by sending. Our gifts
may represent us on the foreign
| fields.
The mission of the Church is mis-
sionary. Her business is to extend
the kingdom of God. For that pur-
pose she was instituted, and when
she ceases to care for the salvation
of the world she will also cease to
care for the glory of the Lord. The
church that is not Jealous to preach
the gospel has been perverted from
the principal object of her exist
ence.
All the Church is needed to save
all the world.
He has a real part in the fisher
mans success who merely supplies
the bait and tackle.
A tenth is small return to make
to him who has given his all. Hav-
ing agreed that Christians ought to
give systematically-end this point
scarcely admits of discussion-we
must consider how great a proper
ton of our income should be de-
voted to Gods work. Can any fair
minded person decide on less than
a tenth? Such a fragment seems
pitifully small beside the largeness
OF Gods gifts to us.
Gods plan for his work in the
world is mysterious. This much
about it we know-he intends that
the work shall be done through the
people. These frail and imperfect
human vessels are the ordained
means of carrying the water of life
to the thirsty universe. Without
thought is appalling. We may limit
God! The progress of his kingdom
may be kept back by us. How of
ten have showers of blessings been
prevented by the sinfulness and
faithlessness of Christians. God needs
us and he needs our gifts. When we
return unto the Lord that which is
his due then his work will flourish.
Gifts withheld from God have with
held greater gifts from us.
Most of us will never look upon
the mission field with our own eyes
We can have little direct contact with
the Lords work in the great CEN
ters. We can only obey the last COM
mand to GO" by our prayers and
by our gifts. Yet by both of these
means-either is Unbalanced with
out the other-we may have a vital
part in preaching the gospel
throughout the whole world.
The Church cannot neglect the
claims of the healthier upon her un-
less she repudiates the claims of
Christ upon her. Her business is to
glorify her Master. and he is most
glorified by the salvation of souls.
To fail to seek the lost is to dis
obey God. This is a solemnizing
truth-that for a Church to cease
to me missionary is for her to cease
to be missionary is for her to cease
ence of the command is disloyalty
to the Commander.

men called into the trenches. Bust
ness. he said. deserves no particular
praise for foregoing profits in war
time, because 1t owes the same duty
to the government every other class
owes.
Secretary Lane called on business
men to disprove the saying that
America had no soul higher than
that Of making money.
You are here to answer" he said,
"by announcing that you have made
money and that you will make
money, but that you can make war
as well. You are here representing
the business men Of the United
States to show the world that there
is a new American philosophy, a
new day in which men are sized up
not by what they have but by what
they give. Unless you have the feel
ing of that philosophy in your
hearts your meeting here will be in
vain. If you have that feeling there
can be no failure in the war.
mo man Is entitled to anything
he does not now put to the use of
the nation and the world. You men
do not want your sons to be able
to say they did their bit abroad while
you stayed at home and made money
out of the war. The worst danger
we face is that of discomfort from
within, it may grow out of domestic
conditions and the business man
can do much to keep it from break
ing out by marking down his prices
to the public on the commonplace
Of life. You must give whatever is
necessary to the success OF this great
venture. Every business man should
have in his office a picture OF a boy
in khaki and If the question OF price
comes up let him cast his eye on II
and ask himself what that boy who
is giving his life would do in similar
circumstances. That boy would
| want his father to make the same
sacrifices he himself is making. None
| of you want to cast your mind on
the years ahead and then say to
yourself: I devoted myself to selfish
interests during the war and made
it my opportunity to make money"
In advocating q general war board
with the broadcast powers Mr. Catch
declared that competitive buying be-
tween the government and private
industry had produced high prices.
The power to make purchases, he
said, should be taken out Of the
hands of the army and the navy.

CAMPAIGN FAILS
Attorney Pollock Says City
Cannot Afford To Let
College Die

A direct appeal to the citizens Of
Fargo and the state OF North Dakota
to save Fargo college went out from
the campaign headquarters at 3Ol
Broadway this morning.
The call is the result of a confer
ence of the trustees of Fargo college,
the citizens campaign committee
and the board of directors Of the
commercial club, held at the Gardner
hotel Tuesday afternoon.
The financial condition offthelCollege
was considered and announcement
followed that the institution will be
forced to close its doors If the cam
paign to raise 100000 or more does
not succeed.
Call General Meeting.
Sec. j. 2. Hardy Of the Fargo Com
mercial club has called a general
meeting of the membership Of the
club at the request of the board Of
trustees of the college to be held in
the commercial club rooms on Mon
day evening, Sept. "a, when the
board will present to the business
| interests of Fargo the financial status
Of the college.
Fargo college will be forced to
| close If the campaign fails" said
Atty. r. NJ. Pollock, member Of the
board of trustees. 1--WE have dis
cussed the entire situation very
carefully and very conservatively
| and as a result. If the situation is to
4 be saved and the college placed upon
a solid financial basis, we must have
kthe support and the cooperation OF
! the entire city.
! LAS a board of trustees we have
! felt all along that once the people
| Of Fargo were brought face to face
| with the stern reality of closing the
| institution permanently they would
rise to the emergency and save the
school. AS a matter OF interest
I might say that Fargo college is the
/ second largest commercial and finan-
cial asset in the entire city. For al
most a score Of years some of us
! have carried the load. 1t has been a
labor of love. pure and simple. There
/ has never one cent accTuing to US
for the work we have done for the
institution. We have made long
trips over the country for the sake
of the college. I think ] speak the
sentiments of the other members of
the board when l say we have now
reached that point where we feel
that this college should be aided by
those who derive financial and re-
munerative benefits from 1t as well
az by all of those who appreciate the
value Of higher education"

HOOUer to SUSPEND
U.SGrdir1 Grades

st. Paul, Sept. 19.-The Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission
recommended suspension of the fed
eral inspection rules as to wheat
grades yesterday in reply to an in
quiry from Food Administrator Hoov-
er of Washington, and added its
opinion that the federal rules are un-
The commission in its reply, said:
"The Minnesota commission heart
lily approves suspension of federal
grade rules on wheat.
THESE rules resulted in the farmer
getting less for his wheat than it is
worth. They cannot be fairly applied
by the local buyer and causing seri-
Gus dissatisfaction among grain in
spectors. receivers and producers.
1.-THE suspension in all probability
will result in wheat moving more
freely to market and better prices to
the farmers.
1--WE will restore substantially the
old inspection system, which was fair
grading rules will not inJuriously af-
feet the-public, because only a small
percentage Of the crop has been
moved and that has been bought by
millers."
Bismarck. N D.. Sept. 1s.-Upon re-
ceiving an inquiry from Food Adm.
Herbert G. Hoover, the North Dakota
board of railway commissioners yes
terday informed him that IL would be
highly desirable to suspend the pres
ent federal inspection rules govern
ing the grading of wheat.
The inquiry from Mr.. Hoover was
contained in the following message:
would IL be advisable in your
judgment, and in view of the present
conditions. to suspend federal inspec-
ton rules as to wheat grades? Would
greatly appreciate immediate reply by
wire. Herbert @. Hoover"
The board of railroad commission
ers at once sent the following tele-
graphic reply addressed to the food
administrator:
eve believe 1t would be wise to
suspend the operations of the federal
inspection rules for grading wheat
during this crop year, pending an in
vestigation with a view to modifica-
tion of the rules. The federal wheat
grades are unfair to the producer and
absolutely impractical as to the trans
actions at primary markets.
Neither the producer nor the coun-'
try grain buyer can accurately deter
mine whether wheat of the very best
milling quality will be graded No. 1
dark Northern spring or No. 4, when
IL reaches the terminal market. I'm
der such conditions the tendency is
Hor the grain buyer to play safe and
grade the wheat down, with the pro-
Queer unable to protect himself. All
parties concerned are familiar with
the, old standards and producers
would now also be able to readily
verify the judgment of the grain
buyers"
