REFORMATION CELEBRATION
IN NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. q 1917.

New York, Nov. 1917.
The climax Of the 4OOth Reformation
Anniversary celebration in the New
York district exceeded the expectations
OF ALL On Reformation Sunday there
were held more than twenty larger
mass meetings and 1t is conservatiyely
estimated that over 100000 people at
tended these meetings. At most OF
them the halls were not large enough
to hold the crowds that turned out.
Tens OF thousands more took part in
the Reformation celebrations arranged
by churches and Sunday schools, or
listened to special Reformation SER
mons which were given in every Pro-
testant church.
The most impressive meeting was the
great, eliminating mass meeting held
lat Carnegie Hall, October 31st. While
the mass meetings on Sunday were dis
tinctively religious, the Wednesday
evening mass meeting was a public,
civic demonstration.
Representation was in keeping with
the general interest reused by the an
niversary. All the great universities
had designated representatives to be
present Likewise the religious, civic
and educational societies were repre-
Esented. There were people there from
[as far west as the state of Washington
and as far south as the state of Florida.
The city was represented through the
Norn m iccinrnr of Narroot;o,o NJ, II o,.,:ex
He was asked to come by Mayor
Mitchell. The state was represented
Lieutenant Governor Schoeneck
The meeting assumed an internation-
|al character through the fact that the
French Protestant churches had sent
two representatives to bring the greet
ings Of the anniversary year to this
gathering.
The center Of the decoration scheme
was heroic size bust of Martin Luther
made by the well-known sculptor Mr.
Keck, for this occasion Standing out
in pure white from it's background of
palms, it made remarkable impress
sion.
The speakers were in keeping with
the significance of the occasion Mr..
Geo. D. Boschen, chairman of the New
York Reformation Quadricentenary
Committee under whose auspices the
meeting was arranged, was the chair
man. He pointed out the purpose of
this gathering in his opening remarks
|by stating that the religious interest in
tho annivnrSarv had hnnn omn1u co t;c
fed by the many impressive gatherings
that had already been held. The pur-
pose of this gathering was to bring out
more clearly the influence which the
Reformation exerted on the progress Of
civilization; the freedom Of thought, the
freedom Of action, the deepening Of the
sense of humanity.
DR.. ]. Singmaster, dean Of Gettys-
burg Seminary, was the first speaker.
He spoke on Luther, the Man of
Centuries. In striking language he

MARKET LETTER.

The car shortage continues and the
normal fall movement of potatoes is
being cut down fully fifty per cent. On
that account most of the regular deal
ers have their warehouses full and are
not in the market for stock at any
price. Some buyers at points where
storage facilities are confined to com
mon sheds are ia "a bad way and will
lose heavily through frost damage on
potatoes that We're No 1 quality when
they came from the field. Jobbers can
take but few orders each day and
are discouraged over the outlook.
Twin City values are holding around
$21O and $2.20 per cwt. for white
stock and about 10 cents lower on red
eating.
Some weakness is shown on onions
as eastern markets are low and heavy
offerings are the rule from nearby

oIass Plates Replace FIIma

y Glass plates, readily printed from
negatives, are being used In place of
expensive films. In producing motioi,
pictures for the home. In the Bettiui
apparatus, about 600 small views arc
contained In rows on a single plate
by s inches In size, and such a plate
replaces 20 or 80 feet Of film. The
lens Is moved mechanically along the
rows, at each end that change from
one row to the next is made without
flicker. A continuous succession Of
plates may be passed through, and the
change from plate to plate is made au-
tomatically without interruption Of the
scenes thrown upon the screen. In q
still simpler apparatus, the views are
printed splrally upon noninfiammable
disks Of celluloidlike material, each Sc
ries being limited to the capacity Of
one disk or record.

KENTUCKY
CROP REPORT
Issued By The State Depart
partment Of Agriculture,
Frankfort, Ky.

The crop report as Of May 1st is the
first report from this Department for
1917. We have received an unusually
large number Of reports and the ma.
iority Of these give conditions as back
ward owing to the cold and dry
weather prevailing. Only 70 per
cent. Of blowing for corn is done and
but very little planting. The ground
has broken dry and cloddy. With
favorable weather, conditions will be
greatly improved.
From all parts Of the State come re-
ports to the effect that the farmers
are awake to the seriousness of the
feed and food situation and they are
making unusual efforts to increase
their production. This increase would
be much greater If il were not for the
high cost and scarcity Of seed.
Wheat: Much Of the wheat was
winter killed and what remains Is re-
ported as being thin on the ground.
II has not shown the much hoped for
improvement. The percentage of
originally sowed is given at 80 per
cent. and of this left on April 25th. is
II per cent, while the condition is
given at 66 per cent.
Rye: The acreage of rye original
ly sown is SO per cent. and rs per
cent of that was left April 25th and
the condition is 80 per cent.
Barley: Onlya few reported on
barley and the original acreage was
placed at SO per cent, of which 78per
cent. remained and the condition sum-
med up to'79 percent.
Oats: Acreage Of oats planted is
SO per cent, while the condition is
fairly good.
Corn: An unusual effort is being
made for a large corn crop, and with
weather conditions favorable there
will be more corn raised in Kentucky
than ever before. The reports give
the acreage planned at 104 per cent.
but only 20 per cent Of blowing is
done. Very little planting has been

The people Of Christian county be
lieve that our county is the best in the
state and that the state is the best in
the Union; but in 1910 Christian coun.
Ky was z1st in cattle raising, although
fourth in the production of hay and
corn and other things necessary to
raise cattle with. This ratio has been
maintained to date, and in view Of
this fact the Planters Bank & Trust
Co. of this city has inaugurated a
|shorthorn club. Forty-three short
horn heifers of registered stock were
bought by w. R. Hinsley, President
| of the National Livestock Commission
| of East St. Louis, for the Bank.
With the view of increasing the
production of graded cattle in the
county the bank chose w. T. Fowler,
James A. Mckenzie, u. T. Wyatt, D.
T. Craynor, F. L. Handy. J. w. Gar
nett, R. H. Kemp. Geoge Mimms, T..
F. Clardy, T. j. McReynolds, with
IS. L. Cowherd as CHAIRMAN, as con-
mittee to distribute the cattle among
the boys of the county.
Saturday. the cattle arrived and
were quartered at Cowherd & Altshe-
ber's stock barns. The boys met at
the bank and the Rev. j. T. Haw-
kins, "A. H. Eckles, County Agent
Mckenzie and S. L. Cowherd made
shorthorn talks to the young men.
The boys then gave their notes for
the cost price of the neiIers and
signed an agreement to bring the
heifers and calves, if any, to town on
a certain day this fall and sell them
at auction. The amount of the note
will be deducted from the selling
price and the boy will be given the
increase. They are to take good care
of the stock and be subject to the in
structions OF County Agent Mckenzie,
who will make calls on the boys with
out notice to see how they are getting
along. Each boy drew from box
metal tag with a number on it. His
name and age was then written on it.
The whole crowd had their pictures
taken and then went to the barns and
each boy got the heifer which had
the same number that he held. 1t
was happy crowd of boys that left
town, each taking fine young heifer,
and each boy was dreaming Of the big
day this fall at the fair grounds when
his stock will be sold.

Ac0urse in home economics conducted
tho Pennsylvania state college In
Sbnjunction with Its extension school
the Pittsburgh 0axette-Times states
Miss m. Jane Newcomb, the lecturer,
criticized her sisters for blindly fol.
lowing fashions whether those fash
Ions were suitable to them or not. The
seriousness Of the clothes problem, IN
pts moral, spiritual, physical and eco.
nomic bearing on life and character,
was dwelt on BY Miss Newcomb, who
among other things, said:
so deeply have we become involved
IN the matter Of clothes that II will
take the courage of strong conviction
TO free ourselves and these convictions
must be built on strong principles.
30 anxious are we to dress like
some one else or according to some
style shown In q shop window that our
clothes are not honest. They are imi-
tatfon from beginning to end. In truth

Of imitation. What Il the nost glar-
ing phase Of the problem at the pres

(United Press Leased wIre.D

(UMItJ0 IEGB8 A(MBD0
LONDON, Nov. 3.--Just what
Won Hertling's acceptance Of the
German chancellorship means
was puzzling London today.
Owing to Hertling's past record
OF bitter enmity to parliamentary
rule, observers found 1t hard to
reconcile his reported agreement
with the reichstag majority to
carry out Prussian electoral re-
form, conduct Germany's foreign
policy on the basis of the Ger
man reply to the pope's peace note
and stop political movements fos-
tered by governing officials.
DR.. Michaelis Is apparently COM
pletely "out" of German govern
ing power. First reports as to
Hertling's choice for the chancel-
lorship stated that Michaelis had
been shifted to the post of premier
Of Prussia.
Today, however, Berlin advices
declared Hertling had refused to
accept the chancellorship unless
the Prussian premiership went
with 1t.
Vice Chancellor Helfferich is
also out-succeeded by Frederic
Won Payer. a progressive leader of
the reichstag. AS vice president Of
the Prussian ministry, DR.. Fried
burg, national liberal, has been
selected.
Apparently the resignation of
Minister of Marine Won Capelle
has not yet been acted upon.
