Sunday afternoon, April 2Ist, a resol,i-
ton was unanimously adopted to con-
duct all divine services III the English
language hereafter and to make this Ian
guage the official one Of the church..
Services in the English language have
already been held for many years alter
uately with those of the German Ian
puacc. The English language has been
used exclusively in tile Sunday School.
The elimination Of the German Ian.
guage has been gradually taking place as
the younger generation was growing up.
II in the past the German language was
used in Divine services, it Vas not be-
cause of All attachment to the German
nation or the German tongue. Many OF
the older members Of the church who
e,nigrated from Germany to America were
instructed in the Word Of God ID theii
native tongue and they found it difficult
to change languages in their old age.
They understood their Bible better II
their native tongue, aud for this reason
ONLY sermons were delivered IN tile Ger
man language

BRYAN Tiller at Great Lakes.

The following letter was received at
this office last week from the Naval re-
cruiting officer ut st. Louis, Mo-:
William b. Tiller, son OF II. g. Tiller,
left st. Louis Thursday night, June G,
after being enlisted as a seaman second
class. He arrived the following day at
tile GreatLakes Naval TrainingStation,
near Chicago, which is the largest of its
kind in the world.
Before leaving st Louis Mr.. Tiller had
learned much Of the life he will have,
the excellent food, and other advanta-
ges the Navy offers, such as the best
pay Of any fighters in the world, and
unusual opportunity for promotion.
One man in every three becomes an
officer.
His first training will be three weeks
valuable insrustion in preserving and
up-building the health. Here the new
ly enlisted men are taught also to care
for their clothes, and keep neat ap.
pearance. These three weeks are life
long benefit to any man, and it makes
them eager to begin further training

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL,

general idea of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January I, 1918, is given by figures
Just announced by the u s. Food Adj
ininiStratiOn. In that period the Unit
cd States has furnished complete year.
~ rations for 57,100,033 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tcin to supply this portion Of the diet
for % l04,5I0 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4 10000 bushels.
Pork exports f"i the ~ years amount
ed to almost 2C30 coo 000 pounds. En-
ports Of fresh beef ,otalrd 443 ,4Sl, 400
pounds. The amount OF food exported
TO Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the WESTERN allies.

Great Wheat Stocks
EsGiaIed.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rutions.
Great stocks of wheat are isO.
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cllrc some wheat from Argentina.
On january |, Australia had
stored lUO.0GO,0O0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for OK
pori-but there We're no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an cHnorithlc surplus Of Sn,HO,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
Approximately .iSO.GUO.CO0 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, ut the same time, had
10,0O0,0O0 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
50,O00,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. Tho
new crop will add 135,000,000 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it Is entirely problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divld-
ing our stock with the Allies.

EVERY FAMILY FEED ITSELF.
Save Wool for Soldiers and Sailors

save WOOL for ooldlers and Sailors
and Knit, Knit, Knit.
The United states Department of
Agriculture has sent out five sugges-
tions for 1918:
"Every family must help feed itself.
'Fresh vegetables must be used to
lessen home consumption OF staple
foods needed by troops and the allies.
CLONE produced food must lessen
demand ON railroads and other deliv-
cries.
"NIore food must be canned in homes
than ever before.
''There must he war garden in every
back yard fertile and sunny enough to
grow vegetables.
every seed planted must be made
to count III the food supply"
One of the things The conscientious
wheat saver would like to know is
whether his use of substitutes is accom-
plishing anything worth while and il
household savings in the aggregate
would help win this war.
According TO Il report by julius II.
Barnes Of the Food Administrator, the
consumption of wheat per capita has
been reduced by II bushels per year
If these figures are correct, this wou!'
be saving Of 125,OoO,oOO bushel
which will feed nj the rate of 4 bushels
per capita, 81, $50 people for year. Nj
praise to the housewife who is dc.ng
her duty in this wheat saving.
Carl Nrooman, Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, on his recent tour
through Missouri was constantly say
ing, care you doing your utmost?'
suggest that every man and woman in
the United States place the picture Of
boy in khaki in prominent place in
their homes, look at it every day, think
what he is doing, and ask themselves
the question, "Am doing my utmost
Every woman in the State OF Missouri
has been asked by the Woman's Com
mittee, Council of National Defense to
quit making colored sweaters, to quit
wearing WOODEN flowers on their hats or
knitting bags,o or using any colored wool
whatsoever There is great shortage
of wool all over the world, every bit Of
which will be needed to keep our sold
iers and sailors warm. Women can
surely forego style when they know
every eolored sweater diminishes the
supply of wool just that much.
The Women of Missouri have been
urged TO discontinue using wool in any
way whatsoever, excepting to knit into
articles for our soldiers and sailors. In
addition they are urged to refrain from
purchasing wool garments, substituting
other materials therefor. If we do not
do this, our soldiers and sailors will not
be able to secure sufficient wool gar
ments next winter to keep them warm.
