nunt make is IN acceptable church
contribution,
The highest paid church singer In
America, Leon Rice, New York ten
or, has been offered s100 a Sunday
to sing In a church In Texas. The
Musical Ceurior says OF the offer;
Such a proposition as this Ia not mad 0
without q reason Ii found In the fact
that Mr.. Rice sang In this church n
few years ago under q most unusual
contract, He received what was ut
that time one of the larger salaries
In America on condition that his
singing should attract capacity
audience at each service-the church
seat 1,a00 persons. Mr.. Rice's sing
ing proved 30 popular that 1t was not
an infreQuent occurrence to find
hundreds unable to secure even
standing room. At tho conclusion OF
his contract Mr.. Rloe was induced
to remRin four months longer-until
he went abroad for further study.
Since that time the officials have
been endeavoring to secure him for
another engagement. hence the offer
OF 500 @ Sunday.
Mr.. Rice has been singing: Hear
My Cry, o Lord" Wooler; Come
Unto Me-" Coenen; Repent Ye,"
Scott: beautiful Isle of Some
where" Fearis; And I. John. Saw

The Farm Lean Experiment

What is coming out of the farm loan
bank experiment? is a question that
practical men are asking each other.
\ farmer writes to say that he has
given up hope Of relief from that
source, and the holder Of mortgage On
his fam is driving him for the llnncy
which he is unable to raise. The Phil
adelphia Press, III recent editorial
says of the system:
1t was heralded as d need that long
existed and Il boon that would WORK
wonders. So far it has decidedly failed
to live up to the glowing promises that
were made for il. 1t has now struck
shallow water and a whirl in The
money current, and the Secretary Of
the Treasury had to plead to Congress
to help 1t through the rapids. Congress
was asked to come to it's relief with
one hundred million dollars now, and A
similar amount next year. The Sen
ate has responded by granting the first
request, but refused to give any assur
ance for next year.
This action makes it evident that
Congress has very decided DOUBTS
about how the experiment is working
out. also that there will be a very
WatChfus eye kept upon the farm bank
system. There We're many predictions
at the time the law was passed that
the proposed system was too cumber
some and ine.astic. and that it would
fail OF carrying out its advertised pur-
poses. AT the outset, the government
advanced the capital for the most part
for many or all of the farm loan banks.
This was done with the express provis-
ION that as fast as convenient the gov
eminent would get out. by selling its
stock. This meant that the govern
ment would take the early risks, show
ing private capital the way and giving
it time to observe the project and be-
come satisfied that it is safe and profit
able
This important fact has yet to be
shown. Some Of the banks in which
government capital is invested are I'M
derstood TO be losing money and to a
considerable amount. The returns have
not met expenses. Consequently there
has been TO demand on the part of
private capital to buy out the interest
of the government in these banks. The
government cannot get out until the
system proves itself from a business
standpoint SO Congress was asked to
make good for the government. and
provide the money for the purchase Of
farm loan bonds that at present have
no active market. Unless the system
makes good in another year, it must
face Il very insistent demand for it's
elimination or a very radical change in
its provisions.

Of course some Will object that If we

far deplete the supply as to raise the
price to prohibitive cost. This. we be-

which we are dependent. It Is certainly
worth the trial in Maine and other
northern states that have large tracts
Of hard wood growth. to at least be
prepared for the winter of 1878 with
wood fuel for rural districts and par

The Cost of q Cord of Wood

Gated stumpage of excellent hard wood
was worth about a dollar a cord. II
cost dollar a cord to chop. split and

for about s. a cord. Soft maple, grey
birch and similar fuel woods sold for q
dollar less cord. Pulp manufacturers
were using only spruce and poplar, and
were paying moderate prices.
With the increased demand for paper
and its marked advance in price the
pulp manufacturers are accepting
limited mixtures of other varieties and
have more than doubled the price paid
for pulp stock. The increase in wage
has moro than doubled ard in some in

cost. The increase in cost for labor
