ABS SHIPS LOST DURING WAR
Sir Norman Hill Makes Estimate
Through Paper Fair Play"

LONDON, Dec. 2S.--In the ship
ping paper Fair Play, Sir Norman Hill,
secretary of the Liverpool Steamship
Owners Association, makes calcula-
tions that the effect of the German
campaign on British shipping has
been as follows:
In the twenty-seven months of
wan from August, 1914, to October,
1916, 435 steam vessels of more than
1900 tons, representing 1.744,000
tons gross register, were lost through
war perils. Great Britain started
the war with 5000 steamships of
10000 tons gross, so that the loss
es represent II per cent in num-
bers, or IL per cent in tonnage, be-
ing less than hof l per cent a month
The value of the cargoes' lost is
calculated at 0.49 per cent of the to-
tai by Sir Norman, who adds:

BAPTIST MINISTER HAS
BEEN GIVEN PROMOTION
Reverend William F. Roberts Accepts
Call to Evange.istic Service on
Pacific Coast-Resigns
Passionate.

The members of Slater Baptist
church were very much surprised
Sunday morning when their pastor
Rev. W. F. Roberts, announced that
he had accepted an offer for evan
eelistic work on the pacific coast and
as a result must resign his duties here
to take effect Jan. /. He will go tc
Seattle or Spokane, Wash, about the
first of the year where he will be
given charge of the state evangelistic
work, a very important position.
Mr.. Roberts came to Slater some
thing over five years g as pastor
of the Baptist church and while he
had entered into the duties as pas
tor with his entire ability and to the
extent that there is no stronger
church and better working congrega-
ton in the association than the Sla-
ter Baptist church. yet it had been
apparent for some time that his prop
er sphere was that of the evangelist
and in the training of the association.
Mr.. Roberts is a splendid organ
izer and the completion of the new
100000 church building here about
ready to dedicate, is evidence OF the
efficient work being done thru his
congregation and the community, and
it is generally regretted that he must
leave before its completion. He will
carry with him the love and esteem
not only of his own church people,
but of the community as well.
The above from the Slater, Mo-,
News will be read with interest by
Mr.. Roberts many friends in Grena-
da. He was pastor Of the First Bap-
fist church in this city for several
years.

WILL BAR MIDDLEMAN.
Nebraska Men to Profit by Acreage
of One Big Farm.

Zen young men of Beatrice have
entered a two-year contract with the
n IN view of becoming independent
OF the high cost of living. These
men have organized what is called
"Labor's Liberty League a society
to be Incorporated when 500 men,
bers have been obtained.
The contracts provide for the pay
ment of 50 a week into a local bank
4, from each of the signers for a period
of two years. The first payment to
be made on January /, 1917. Each
member will then have paid $2OS in
to the common fund. With 500 mem
bers in the organization this fund
will have reached 100000.
After the money has been paid IN.
the organization will be declared
complete and a community farm on
an extensive scale will be launched.
The contracts provide that at the eX-
piration of the payment period each
member shall commence to proht
from the money he has paid in. 1t is
stipulated that a farm of GAO or more
acres shall be leased or purchased
with the money in the treasury and
that the balance of cash on hand
shall be used as Il working capital.
Each member of the club is to re-
ceive the produce from two acres.
Every foot of the ground is to be
scientifically farmed. The grain and
provisions allotted to each man will
come from the following: One acre
of wheat, the grain delivered in the
bin of the member; one-fourth acre
of potatoes. delivered to the men,
Der unless he shall have moved from
this locality; one-eighth acre each of
beans. cabbage, tomatoes. sugar
heets, sweet corn. Also he shall re-
ceive 800 pounds of meat of his W
selection from the herd to be grazed
on a piece of ground to be leased for
that purpose.
The next part of the contract spec
ifies. "and if it can be done" 100
pounds of butted and fifty dozen
eggs each year to every member.
This last contingency is made be-
cause of a likelihood that the hens
may not lay nor the cows give milk
in plenty.
These young men originators of
the Gown your W farm" idea. are
enthusiastic over the prospects of re-
ceiving products from the farm at
exactly the cost of production. Most
of the members are young men work
ing on salaries. They have not
reached a decision as TO location of
their farm.-Nebraska State Jour

RELIGIOUS TRAINING IN THE
STATE INSTITUTIONS
(By Ray H. Legate, B. S., NJ. A,
Sec. of the Young Mems Christian
Asociation.)

"The State institutions are sur
prisingly religious and christian"
This is the deliberate statement of
Jno. R. Mott, who knows the student
life, not only of our American, but
of the whole world, better than any
living man. He goes on to say that
people are amazed to learn that over
half of the students and three-fourths
of the professors in State Universe
ties are members of christian
churches. In the University of Mis-
sissippi, the percentages are larger
than the average. Our University
is wide open to the christian propa-
ganda. The students and professors
are responsive. The harvest is ac-
tually wasting. This situation is a
challenge to u Alumni, and to par
ents with sons and daughters here,
and to the churches of the State.
No one knows the tragedy in some
young lives better than those of us
who live in the heart of the campus.
But he who judges the whole stu
dent body by this small segment, is
either ignorant of the facts, or re-
veals a prejudiced mind. On of the
brightest pages in the history of
Christianity, is that chapter which
tells of the extension and accomplish
ment of the Christian religion among
student classes. The churches and
the Christian Associations are finding
themselves, and in Oxford they are
working in the closest harmony, and
with telling effect. There is a con-
certed effort to relate all students to
the church and Sunday School of
their choice. These efforts are sup
| plemented by Bible classes and devo-
tional meetings on the campus.
College men do not want talking
| religion. They want doing religion.
| Sec the evidence. They are conspic-
! uous by their absence at testimony
meetings. But 278 North American
| students actually reached the for
| eign mission field during the past
| twelve months. This brings the num-
Der of sailed volunteers up to 6,l6l
During the last college session, some
10000 students were reported at
| work in social service. Member
ship in the student Y. M. c. A.: is
nearing 100, 900, with 1000 in Bible
classes on the campus, ar equal num-
Der in curriculum Bible classes, and
$4,000 in church Bible classes. This
is all supplementary to the regular
work in the churches and Sunday
Schools.
In our own University, there are
so students meeting every week, for
council and prayer. Each Council
man has a Friendship group OF .
of his fellow students. The real OBJ
iect of these men is to lead their fel-
lows to a progressive faith in God
through Jesus Christ, and into mem
bership and service in the christian
church. Our workers covet the CO.
operation especially through the in
tercession of Christian believers
throughout the State.

Our poetic friend, we grasp with
avidity this opportunity for the de-
nu~nciation of Backward Book Bor-
rowers. Each age but the present
one has had its method of dealing
with the problem. Primeval men
had no books. Those of the Stone
Age made theirs from solid stone,
this entailing the necessity of the
book borrowers having a derrick.
The people of the Dark Ages could
not read. thus limiting the utility of
the book to that of elevating the
child in its seat. Books in the Eliza
bethan period were chained to the
bcok-rack. People of this age. how
ever, are cropping in the dark seeking
a solution of the problem. The Sen
tinel. after much thought. is about
to give to long-suffering humanity a
