Hard Cider Beats Bone Dry Law
 Out In Kansas

Topeka, Kan The great de- mand for cider in several parts of this State. coupled with con siderable drunkenness. revealed a new method of beating the bone-dry law.
 It appears that cider was placed in the sun, allowed to fer ment and run through a cream separator. This draws out all of the heavy apple juice in the cider and leaves behind residue which is largely alcohol and is as bad ss "forty-rod" whiskey in it's effect. The police have found no way of stopping this method of getting drunk. Louis Post-Dispatch.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, September 5.- In every portion of the state one is impressed with the shortage of tame pasture. Never before have we had such high priced feed The price is sure to be high for some years to come. Livestock cannot be kept with profit on the average farm with out cheap feed and pasture crops excel all others for cheapness. Definite tests have been made and it has been conclusively proven that every soil in Arkan sas with medium good fertility will grow pasture with profit, however the land must be prop erly prepared and grasses and clovers selected that are adapted to the soil in question. Almost every farm has some waste land, or land that still has the stumps in it or that is too rough or stony for general farming.
 Most failures with grasses and clovers are due to thin soil, or improper wedding Worn out soil will not grow grass Build it up with cowpeas or similar crops Before sowing see that the land has a good seed bed. It must be leveled down and the clods brok- en. When grass or clover seed are sown on rough land, and af terwards covered, some of them are buried so deep that the plant can not reach the surface. There is also a tendency to drop many seed down in holes so that an un- even stand results.
 Sow early. The latter part of September or after the first fall rain is usually a splendid time If seeding is done early the plants make a good growth, are not so apt to be killed out by winter freezing and make much more grazing during the next summer.
 Every farmer should have few acres of tame grass.

Large Further Reductions to be Made
 in Passenger Service

reductions ln passenger train lService in addition to those al ready made are soon to go into effect in Central Territory. Be tween March 1 and July 15, the railroads in this territory effect ed saving at the rate of almost seven million passenger miles a year in passenger train service, according to a report just made to the Railroads War Board by | R. H. Aishton, President of the Chicago & North Western Rail way and Chairman of the Cen tral Department ommittee. The total reductions already made and those soon to be put into eff feet in this territory, amount to over 12,000,000 passenger miles This is in addition to reductions of over 16,000.000 passenger miles already reported in East ern Territory.
 The states included in the Cen. tral Department are Illinois, In diana. Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan. Minnesota, Wisconsin ap ] Colorado This reduction in passenger train service is part of the program of the War Board in the conservation of coal and men for the more important freight handling purpose.
 The exact reductions already made in Central territory are at the rate of 6,688, 402 passenger miles year, and will effect to a saving of approximately 500.000 tons of coal a year, which, by this reduction is made available for other purposes. The further | reductions to be made will bring the amount of saving to $40, ,000 tons of coal.
 Among the roads which by reason of the extent of their ser vice have been enabled to contri bute most largely to this result in Central territory are: Penn sylvania, .835,756 passenger miles; Big Four, 779, ,560; Chesa- peake & Ohio. 725, ,5l0; Baltimore & Ohio. 601, ,987; Missouri, Kan sas & Texas, 580, ,206; Pere Mar quette, 574,629; Erie, 325. 782; Chicago. St Paul, Minneapolis & lOmaha, 310,048; Rock Island. 298,O
 | Several roads which have up to the present made only small reductions in passenger service, have planned such reductions to take place in the immediate fu- ture. The Burlington system plans a reduction amounting to 1,600,000 passenger miles; the Rock Island, further reduction of 886, 456 passenger miles; Mis- souri Pacific, 100000 passenger miles; Missouri. Kansas & Texas d further reduction of 596,822. | The Chicago, & Eastern Illi- nois, the Grand Rapids & Indi- ana, the Kansas City Southern, the Lake Erie & Western, the Michigan Central and the Soo | Line, several of which roads have 1 already made considerable re ductions, have planned total or further reduction amounting to flom 13O.000 to 100000 passen> ger miles each. The total amount of additional reduction already planned amounts to 5,539, 561 passenger miles. making a total of 12, ,227,963 passenger miles for the railways of the Central De- partment.
 The whole motter of reduction lin passenger train service has been carefully worked out by the committee and the railroads ot the Central Department. Most of the further reductions are ex- pected to be brought about by lengthening the schedule of transcOntinental trains and will therefore be felt locally to a small extent.

THE OUADRICENTENNIAL OF
THE REFORMATION
By the ReD. II. C. Holloway, d. d.

INTENSIVE plans for the celebra-
n ton throughout the year 1917 of
the four hundredth anniversary
of the beginning of the Reformation
of the sixteenth century have occu-
pied the minds and hands of many
leaders in the church. A national
headquarters has been established
at 925 Chestnut street, Philadelphia,
with the Rev. Howard r. Gold, secre-
tary, in charge. This committee rep
resents officially a large portion of the
church and unofficially another large
section, While 1t is in touch with every
portion of the Lutheran church and
in communication with agencies out
side of the church. Hence it is the
medium for concerted action and for
effective work. New York city, Chi
cago, Baltimore and other cities have
well-organized local committees while
synodical and local committees are
reporting constantly, so that the whole
church is becoming completely or
ganized for celebration, for work, and
may we hope for future cooperation.
A systematic publicity campaign is
in progress. 1t reaches out into be-
tween 500 and 1000 secular papers,
into many magazines and into all Luz
theran and many UNCONVENTIONAL
church papers. Lecture bureaus are
established in Philadelphia, New York,
Chicago, ETC., and illustrated lectures
are in demand. The whole year of
jubile was given an impetus through
the great Reformation Jubilee services
held in all large cities and many small
er communities during the past Re-
formation season.
These gatherings taught all COM
mittees lesson, namely, the largest
available meeting places will not hold
the audiences which will come out for
the 1917 celebrations. 1t shows the
interest and estimate people put on the
glorious Reformation. 1t will be a
great year in the history of the Luth-
eran church.
These celebrations. however are not
confined to the Lutheran church
alone, and they should not be, for
while Martin Luther is the recog-

Head of Harrisburg Diocese
Asks Catholics to Remember

All Catholics in the Harrisburg tiio-

should earnestly pray that an end may
soon come to the deadly strife-that

nized and was the chosen leader of
the movement, and the Lutheran
church is known as the church of the
Reformation and mother of Protes-
entire body of Professionalism, this. Ju-
bilee embraces the entire body of
professionalism. And it is a notice.
able fact that already goodly
number interdemominationaI pas
tors associations have already in
cluded the jubilee of the Protestant
reformation as part of their regular
programs for the year 1917. BY this
method the religious leaders of this
Protestant jubilee year will uncon-
sciously direct their preaching and
teaching in such way as to empha-
size the historic background and basis
of Professionalism.
Bishop Burch, of the Episcopal
church, of the diocese of New York
writes thus: 81 consider it most inn
portant and appropriate that so great
and epochal a movement as the Re-
formation should be celebrated by all
Protestant Christian bodies through
out the Christian world. The infiu-
ence of the Lutheran movement, view
ed from whatever angle, has been so
far-reaching that it is difficult even to
attempt to measure it. The cause of
religious freedom was set forth i'm
measurably by the said movement"
Multitudes of distinguished men in
church and state have given similar
emphasis to the Reformation move
ment. And why should they not?
1t was the Reformation that re-
vealed Christ the Saviour of the world
as He is revealed in Gods word and
gave liberty to His church and liberty
to the world. Wherever Protestant
ism is known it is all the offspring
of the Reformation, beginning with
1917 and the 31st of October. Hence
it has been very aptly said, "If there
had been no Luther, there had been
no Washington, and If there had been
no Lutheranism there had been no
Professionalism" Not new church was
started, but an old church reformed
not a new church founded, but an
old church reborn.-"God hath turned
again the captivity of Zion.'

ter. in preparing food
"As is readily seen from these reg
ulations, the great body of the faith
full are not bound by the strict laws
of Lent. Nevertheless, the church,
while dispensing many from the peni-
tential works which affect the body,
does not dispense anyone from the
spirit of penance that affects the soul.
This necessary disposition, must be
observed by all who desire to save
their souls. Because of the vital inn
portance of this spiritual mortifica-
ton, the faithful are earnestly exhort-
ed to observe the following practices:
Attendance at daily mass; frequent
and regular reception of Holy Com
munion; abstinence from all intoXicat-
ing liquors; attendance at the Lenten
services; the recitation. every night,
of the Rosary, by the assembled fam
lily; the sincere and fixed resolution to
conquer some serious fault and to ac-
quire at least one real virtue.
Finally, Lent properly spent calls
for self-denial, self-restraint, self
control in families; for justice, charity,
and forbearance among neighbors; and
for fidelity and earnestness in all
duties towards God. Unless the grace
of Lent affects the faithful in their
daily life, in their relations towards
God and their neighbors, the Holy Sea-
son will be a wasted opportunity"
