HISTORIC ARvAN SOIL.
SubocTiDtiOns received It this once.

mo Sub~ UnuVN OSs@s
The Russian "through-break" is
taking place on historic soil, for ac-
cording to the philologists our earlier
ancestors, the Aryans, came from the
wide-rolling Russian steppes. And his
legacy of words gives us, according to
Pictet, a very pleasing picture of his
existence. He has beQueathed to us
the words for the intimate family rela-
tionships, for certain parts of the
body such as 'knee," 'tooth" and
'.foot," says London Today. We infer
that he lived far from the sea, for he
has no word for it, or for "salt" or
for FISH," but he navigated rivers
probably in some primitive dugout, for
we have the word "row" and "rudder,"
which was originally only a paddle.
He lived probably in a little wooden
hut, for from the Aryan we derive
"door," "timber," and "thatch," which
was merely covering. He knew the
"wolf." '.hare," beaver" "otter," and
mouse" We can form, too, some
idea of his fOcks and herds, Tor he
named for us the hound" goat"
goose" and "sow," though his word for
horse, "coh," we have forgotten. He
kept herds Of sheep and cattle, for
"ewe," ''wether," 'wool," "cow," "ox. :"
"steer" and 'herd" are all among the
most deeply rooted words in our lam
guage. He built for himself vehicle,
for the Aryan words include "wain," :"
wagon" 'heel," "nave" and "axle."
But he was deficient in a knowledge Of
metals for which he had but one word
which we have fashioned into "ore," "
by which term he probably designated
copper. And not only are the Rus
SLAMS fighting on this historic soil, but
they are possibly taking the same gen
eral direction that these early wan
derers took.

Baptist Church Notes

There will be services every other
Sunday as usual 1T II o'clock, and the
public is invited to attend all services
Of the Baptist church. The church was
organized by the Baptists of the COM
munity to meet the needs in q Christian
way. and not in spirit of faction, as
the Home Missions Council expressed
its mind 80 freely through its secretary
in the last issue Of Keota News.
The Baptist church of Keota is not
receiving any mission money in any
way. 1t pays all the pastors salary
and meets the church expenses, and has
never asked the community to help
build church building: and further
more does not intend to ask the whole
community and the people of the Me-
thodist church to help build building.
1t is true the church expects to build
when the organization gets ready, and
it will not be with money Of the Home
Mission society Of the Methodist church.
The pastor is giving all the time that
he can, in connection with the work on
other fields to the Keota church, and 10
supported by the Baptists and friends
of the church. The church believes in
boosting, rather than knocking; and has
the best Christian spirit toward all, and
is not working in spirit of faction.
The Colorado Missions Council mind,
expressed through its secretary, is not
true to the situation in Keota; and
neither does it or will it affect the Bap-
tist church. This organization is an in
dependent one, and is for the better
ment of all in every way. Why, may I
ask, should the Mission Council express
its mind so freely to the Keota church?
The truth is, that the Union Sunday
School missionary, who it seems is Sec
retary of this council, organizes Sunday
Schools in this part of the county over
tapping each other; and the writer
knows of one school that is not living to-
day because of the multiplying Of Sum
day Schools. May we ask that the
Home Missions Council investigate this
situation among the union Sunday
Schools of Weld County. as we'll as the
multiplying Of churches? The rural
pastor of this day and age has come to
stay. Be booster, and not q knocker.
| There is plenty Of room for those who
will boost and work.

Wells TIN-PLATE TRADE
BACK ON IT'S OLD BASIS

SWANSEA, Wales, Sept. 26.-The
Welsh tinplate trade, which the late
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain once describ-
ed as a decaying" industry, and
which received a severe setback by the
Mckinley tariff in 1891, is enjoying a
prosperity which only the necessary
war restrictions are curtailing. Prices
have more than trebled during the war
despite the shortage of labor and re-
striction of supplies of steel bars, and
practically every firm is paying or
will pay excess profits.
Before the war the basic price of
tinplates was twelve shillings and six
pence per box, now as much as fifty
shillings is being obtained for "unre-
stricted" plates but these rates will
cease with the introduction of the gov
eminent price of thirty shillings.

LETTER BY MARTIN LUTHER
Is DISCOPERED IN SWEDEN

STOCKHOLM, September 26.-An
important addition to Lutheriana has
been made by the discovery in the
royal archives of letter written by
Martin Luther, the reformer, on the
day in which he nailed his immortal
themes on the church-door in Witten-
berg. The letter is of particular in
terest from the fact that it was direct
ed to Archbishop Albrecht of Mayence,
who was Luther's immediate superior
I contains. like the famous theses, a
strong protest against trafficking in
spiritual indulgences.
The letter appears first to have been
found in German city by Swedish
official, who brought it to Sweden some
time in the seventeenth century. A
very old copy exists in Germany, but
the very existence of the original APP
pears to have been forgotten and its
absence long ago caused the German
copy to be considered a forgery.
A copy of the Wittenberg theses,
signed by Luther's own hand, was
found with the letter. and probably
accompanied it originally.

LNGLISH SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO PICK HORSE CHESTNUTS

LONDON, Sept 26.-School children
all over England will spend their leis-
ure time during the next six weeks
in gathering horse chestnts, which the
government is able to us in unlimited
quantities in the manufacture of mus
nitions. Researches last year by the
Royal Society led to the discovery that
horse chestnuts provide a satisfact-
DRY substitute for the grain used in
certain processes of munitlon making.
Every ton of horse chestnuts harvested
will save half a ton ofgrain for human
consumption. Plans made by the
school authorities indicate that more
than 100000 tons of these chestnuts
will be turned over to the government
by the school children this fall.
The plans for the harvesting are
under the supervision of local COM
mittees. Groups of children will gath
er the chestnuts Systematically in
bags, which will be taken to a CEN
trail square and deposited in great
heaps.
No payment will be made to the
children. Chestnut collecting is to be
regarded as theft contribution toward
winning the war.
