RELIGIOUS BOOK
Y. NJ. c. A. Has Forwarded Many

When Charles W. Eliot, president

shelf Of the worlds best literature,
he was accredited with a feat in
condensation. but the Y. NJ. C. =.

greater feat in its 'five-inch shelf
of religious books, which already are
being sent by the hundreds of thou
sands to Americans in the trenches.
Books, magazines and newspapers
are being sent by the ton; but the
staple religious works are included
in a score of little volumes. all of
which easily could be slipped into
the side pocket of a civilians coat:
and any one Of which could be put
in a soldiers hip pocket without
causing any appreciable bulge.
The one volume of this series which
will be placed in the hands of every
man in uniform is a tiny but clearly
printed copy of the New Testament,
in khaki binding. half an inch thick,
and four by two and a half inches
In even smaller separate volumes
are printed separately the Psalms.
the Proverbs, st. John and St. Mark.
and alternating chapters Of the latter

Farmers Of this country did not seek
and do not want $2.50 wheat!
This is one OF the messages brought
to the National Capital by w. L.
Qronjaw) Brown. Of Kansas, who has
come to Washington upon the invita-
ton of Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton and Food Administrator Hoover
to attend an important conference
here March 8. There will be a rep
resentative from each State In the
Union at this conference. Mr.. Brown
Is the first one to reach the city.
While awaiting the other conferees
Mr.. Brown, who has a host Of friends
here, Is busying himself with correct
ing false impressions which. he de-
clares, have been spread here whose
sctions belle their patriotism.
Here fer Conference.
"What the farmers really want, In
stead Of s2.50 wheat" Mr.. Brown con-
tinued, ''is the fixing OF prices on all
grains on the same basis as was fix
ed on wheat. At present the farmer
Is tied to q post as to the price on
wheat. because the price of other
grains Is soaring like a schoolboy' s
kite and wheat Is the same yester-
day, today and tomorrow.
More than this we want the fixing
Of prices on cotton, wool, leather.
SHOES, farm implements, and, in fact
all necessities that enter into our
everyday life.
I'VE want a stabilized market for
live stock, so that a producer of meal
will not violate the anti-gambling
laws by producing or feeding live
stock. In short, a more equitable rec
ognition Of the producers Of the sec
ond line OF trenches in the fixing OF
prices and enforcement of laws gov
erning them"
Commends BilI.
Mr.. Brown. who visited the Capitol
yesterday, seemed much impressed by
a joint resolution Just introduced by
Representative Ayres, OF Kansas. Al
ter reading 1t over carefully he de-
clared that 1t voiced exactly the senti-
ment OF the farmers OF not only his
State but the entire country and that
he felt certain that no Congressman
or Senator who understands the real
sentiment Of his constituents would
refuse to vote for It.
The purpose of the resolution,
which, Mr.. Brown declares, will re-
ceive the hearty support Of every
loyal farmer, Il to authorize the
