It is not by preaching but by glori>
GUS example that the parsons in
France are once more bringing reli-
sion into its own. A congregational
minister in a Y. M. G. A. hut near

he said, Il have been preaching the

the last three months / have learned
far more about it in selling chewing

DENOMINATIONS FORGOTTEN.
Denominationalism? 1t is forgot
ten. Recently Y. NJ. G. A. secre-
tary, one of the most prominent of
New England Presbyterian preachers,
walked seven miles to get crucitlx
for q wounded Catholic soldier. An
other secretary, pastor of one of the
most fashionable Methodist churches
in Massachusetts,, served without dis
elimination Catholic, Protestant and
Jew until, gassed and feverish, he
was compelled by the Association
manager of the district to 60 to
hospital. But, even in this condition
he turned to me with a weak smile,
and declared, This is the life for
me! / wouldn't have missed it for
the world"
When tho rector of one Of the larg-
est Episcopal churches in the South

when a professor of theology walks
eight miles with sixty pound pack

the boys with whom he lives in
chalk quarry may have tobacco and
sweets and magazines; when the
chaplain Of an American university
chops wood and builds fires and heats
water for the soul-sick men returning
in the dark from the trenches, when
these things happen the most irreli-
gious of us must acknowledge that in
this hour of travail the spirit of Jesus
has returned to the world.

FREE SEED TESTING
FOR MISSOURI FARMERS

Missouri farmers have been losing
many thousands of dollars every year
by using seed of poor quality. These
losses have occurred mainly because
the farmers have not known how to
find out whether the seed they bought
was good seed or bad seed. The Uni
versity of Missouri College Of Agri-
culture wishes to remind farmers
that in cooperation with the United
States Department Of Agriculture, it
maintains laboratory for the pur-
pose of testing their seeds. This lab
oratory is equipped for rapid and ac-
curate tests of seed for purity and
termination, and the work is done
free of charge. Purity tests can be
made and reports returned almost i'm
mediately. The termination tests re-
quire six days or longer, depending
upon the kind of teed tested. 1t is
possible, however, with most kinds of
seeds for the farmer to secure sam
piles from seedsmen, send them to
Columbia for test, and then buy on
the results of the examination. A
half teaspoonful of good seed, such as
clover and grass seeds, is sufficient,
provided it is fair sample of the
bulk from which it is taken. For
larger seed, such as the grains, a pint
should be sent. All seed should be
sent by mail with the name and ad-
dress of the sender marked on the
package, and letter should accom-
pany the sample, stating whether the
sample is to be tested for purity, for
termination, or for both.
This laboratory was established for
the purpose of raising the general
standard of seed used in Missouri, and
it is hoped that farmers will make the
fullest use of it. Samples should be
addressed to the College Of Agricul-
ture, Columbia, Mo. 3

WASTING MONEY"
FOR ADVERTISING

An exchange upholds the theory
that newspaper advertising is the
cheapest and most efficient method of
soliciting votes, instead of wasting
money" as some candidates seem to
think.
It seems that for $5 spent for news
paper advertising the candidate gets
more results-and better results than
one would in "whooping" off $50 for
circular letters, postage, ETC., which
are not personal letters any more than
letter printed in q newspaper.
It is easy for some to say that a
candidate is spending too much mon
ey for newspaper advertising" be-
cause he shows faith in the very best
medium to convey his message to the
public. 1t is not one-tenth as extrav-
agant as mailing out "sterotyped let
ters" and paying three cents postage,
beside the letter heads, envelopes,
cost of addressing and all that sort of
stuff.
Such propaganda is usually put
out by the man who does not believe
in spending money with the newspa-
pers-sliding by on what free pub
licity he can wheedle out of a news
paper. 1t is further added to by the
mimeographer or the job printer who
has little shirt-tail full Of type
and nothing else.
Also, beware of the fellow who says
that the newspapers have been
"bought" by some candidate, simply
because he believes in printers ink
and doesn't want it all for nothing. He
is usually the trouble maker and Gag
, itator" in all other walks of life and
is not worthy of your confidence.

"To the discredit of Cole county,
jefferson City and the State of Mis-
souri,, relic of early days exists in
the way of toll bridge across the
Missouri River at Jefferson City. Cole

either purchase this old junk pile of

HOW TO CAN CORN
AND GREEN BEANS

Not many years ago housewives de-
pended, upon the commercial supply
for their Gamer corn, peas and green
beans. These products had not been
canned successfully at home with or
dinary equipment. Now, however,
these and other vegetables which are
hard to keep may be preserved by the
cold pack method of canning. No
other equipment than that found in
the average home is required. Full
instructions for canning by this meth
cd may be had upon application to the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, Mo.
Every person who has garden
should raise surplus to be canned
for winter use. This will increase the
food supply, and relieve transporta-
tion space for other materials. 1t will
also reduce the cost Of living.
