SCRIPTURE
Luke 8: 49-56

Luxe 5: 49-Sb
 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him. Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master
 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear no:: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Pete~. and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
 And they laughed him to SCOTT, knowing that she was dead.
 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
 And her spirit came again, and she arose straighway: and he commanded to give her meat.
 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

Our Greater Food Supply

While the excess of food products raised in the States this year may not be sufficient to sup ply the needs of our European allies it will go some way toward it, and by the exercise of economy and saving what have hitherto thrown away. the rest may be made It is estimated that the yield or wheat will be 66O, 100000 bushels, gain of 20O00ooo last year. gain in of 617000o0O bushels; of oats 3OOOOOOO0; barley. 2OOO0OOO; rye 10000 O0O The of all cereals will be about 100000 600 bushels Inasmuch much that has hitherto been withdrawn for the manufacture of liquor will be saved this year there will be larger additional food supply than the foregoing figures indicate
 The increase is the result of greater acreage in corn and all crops which have been plant ed since entrance into the war If we had had notice the fall the wheat crop would have been larger. The increase does not great deal to a favorable season, for the has not been particularly favorable one Indeed, until quite gently in part of the middle west corn was below the average and in parts of the country the verge of failure Then came fav- orabe weather and saving rains.
 Potatoes show a much larger proportionate in than other food product The estimates are 900 bushels, gain of more than 20O,oOO,OO0 bushels following almost fearful predictions last spring of potato famine winter All this shows that rather hysterical people given to panic and alarm There potatoes in the coun- try either visible the ground waiting be dug, than ever before The great increase of the potato crop of course is wholly due to the greater acreage
 When measure the potato crop of the country with the grains the total yield of food and feed in bushels falls just under the phenomenal of 1915 Food production been helped this year by the town gardens which figure in the government estimate of crops. These gardens being devoted largely to the raising of vegetables during the summer taken great deal off the scarcity of bread by supplying the tables of the villages and the leading cities. They contributed their DOT tion in reduction of the consumption of marketable foods and releasing for consumption in the con- gested sections, and have had influence in the scaling down of prices.
 There are two items in the essential list which show falling off hay and cotton. There 5000, fewer tons of the former and 100000 fewer bales of the latter. In both smaller acreage has contributed the decrease, though the boil weev is responsible in part for the cotton shortage.
 These figures, believe, relate only to the pro- ducton of the so-caed cotton states and therefore not include long staple cotton, the kind which include long staple cotton, the kind in which is greatly influenced by he general cotton market this year than last. The acreage in this valley alone is than four times great that of last year and much greater areas have been planted in the Yuma and Imperial valleys. But the demand for it has increased beyond any possible growth of acreage which account of climatic and soil conditions is restricted to comparatively small areas.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP A MIRROR

True friendship is self love at second hand where, as in flattering mirror, may virtues mag nified and errors softened and where may fancy our opinion of ourselves confirmed by inn partial and faithful witness He (of all the world) creeps the closest in bosoms, into favor and esteem. who thinks of us most nearly do selves Such one is indeed the pattern of friend another self-and gratitude for the blessing as sincere as it is hollow in most other This is one reason why entire friendship is scarcely to be found, except in love-Hazlitt.

The Sweetness of Sugar

Sugar is sweeter, than it has ever been since the civil war That is another way of saying that the price is higher It may. be much higher yet because sugar beet fields contributed much to the worlds sugar, has been source of supply for the last three years. Another cause of the shortage Is the worlds scarcity of tonnage to remove the supplies stored in Java and the Philippines.
 If the war had been delayed year longer the sit- uation would have been infinitely worse than it is the present existing chief of supply would have gone out of the sugar making business The United States would not be making sugar for the allies original form neither beet sugar could longer have been made in this country The proposal to abolish the duty sugar was, however changed SO that the duty should not be taken off until May of the following year Q915.)

The amend ment to the Underwood bill had given them 'one- year lease of life They pretty we'll convinced then that 1t would be immateral in the new cIrcum- stances whether there was a duty on sugar or not The war was giving them as much protection as any tariff could have done and they kept on

FOR ORIGINAL BILL
President Wants Control of

Opposes Cores Stand and De-
sires Prompt Action.

Washington, July 14.-In letter to
Senator Martin, Democratic floor lead
er, President Wilson today gave his
views on food control legislation, ad-
vocating action along the line of the
original house bill for government
control of foodstuffs and fuel only.
He opposed the proposed substitute
bill of Senator Gore and emphasized
his desire for prompt action by con-
gress.
The president took the position that
extension of government control of
steel, iron, cotton, copper, wool, leath-
er. aluminium and their products is
unnecessary
Regarding prohibition it was also
learned that the president is not in
accord with the purposes of Senator
Shoots amendment proposing that
the government buy all stocks of dis
titled beverages in bond. This pro-
vision probably will go to conference
and in view of the presidents opposi-
ton, indications were that it would be
eliminated or a modification made,
