REV. COIN GOES

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED AT tsT
BAPTIST SUNDAY MORNING.

Effective October list. Rev. ]. Fl.
Coin who has been pastor of the
First Baptist church here for -
years, will sever his connection as
active pastor in this charge and will
moev elsewhere. His resignation was
before the church congregation Sun
day and was acted upon at that time.
Rev. Mr. Coin was out of the city
en- his months vacation. His resig-
nation had been up on previous oc-
casion and was not definitely hand
led until last Sunday.
The church has become quite a
strong one since Rev. Mr.. Coin came
to the pastorate. He was in charge
during the time the handsome new
edifice was in course of construction
and he served as chairman of the
building committee.
At this time it is not known where
he will go to take up other work, but
he had stated on a former occasion
that his usefulness as a pastor here
was about at an end and thought he
ought to be in new field.

FEED YOURSELVES" BY
PLANTING FALL GARDEN

In planting the fall garden there
comes the last opportunity in 1917 to
many of us to answer the call of
President Wilson to help feed" the
nation and the people everywhere
who are fighting for their liberties
and for our own. Thousands and
millions of men have changed from
producers to consumers and with an
army in the field an abundance of
supplies, especially foodstuffs, is the
superlative need of our country.
The most suitable crops for the fall
garden, sayes Mr. E. Ragsdale of the
College of Agriculture, are: beans,
(snap) beets, carrots, cabbage, col
lards, celery, kale, kohl-rabi, lettuce,
mustard, onion (seedD, rape, rutabaga
spinach and turnups.
Mustard, spinach, kale and turnips
are good greens and may be sown any
time during the fall. Rape, good
green also, should be sown in rich
soil during September. 1t may be
used for grazing chickens and hogs.
Cabbage may be set any time from
July to December and those set in
late fall and early winter are left to
mature in the spring. Collards may
be set any time during summer and
fall to be used during winter.
Snap beans are one of the surest
crops and may be planted with seed
from the early crops to within eight
weeks of frost.
Lettuce may be grown in the open
during the fall and in cold frames dur
ing the winter.
Onion (seed) may be planted in Oc
tober and allowed to mature the fol
lowing summer or may be used as
BUNCH onions in the spring.
The rutabaga should be sown July
to September and Ased after frost.

HARRISON SHOWS
IMPROVED SERVICE
RAILROADS NOW HANDLING
FRElGHTS FAR MORE RAPIDLY.

Washington. ID. c., Aug 2l.-Fair-
fax Harrison. Chairman of the Rail
roads War Board, authorizes the
following:
Reports just received by Railroads
War Board shows that the railroads
of the country in their cooperative eff,
forts to give to the country the great
est possible amount of freight service
have effected an extraordinary i'm
provement in the freight car supply
"These reports show that the eX-
cess of untitled car acquisitions over
inaccurately termed car shortage,
was only one fourth as great on Aug
ust 4, 1917, as on May l, 1917 The
exeesy Of unified car acquisitions on
May hf lwa8 14S,627 on June LIST it
was 1OG64SI on July 1st TWAS 1852
and on August LIST i had been reduc,
ed to 33T76. -
'SSThis result, has been accomplished
at time when the railroads are sup.
plying from fifteen to twenty per
cent more freight service with the
same number of cars than was being
given this time last yearRor the rail
roads handled mi July tremendous
increase in both government and com
mercial traffic. The movement of
cantonment supplies alone occupied
the full services of more than 10000
cars.
"There was also an extraordinary
heavy demand for cars to- transport
food products as well as materials to
and from munition factories.
"The result above achieved has
been accomplished by cooperation
with the railroads Of shippers, regu-
lating bodies and the public generally
This cooperation has made possible
the intensive loading Of freight cars,
prompter unloading, the elimination
Of a large amount Of unnecessary
passenger train service and an oppor-
tunity generally to utilize time to put
each car to the greatest possible use,
to have empty cars placed where
they are most needed, to prevent over
tapping and unnecessary service-in
other words, to make the entire rail
road system of the United States the
most effective possibel transportation
agency in winning this war"
