Stripes Is never in any danger. That
after the beginning. of tostilities be-
tween England France and the central
powers, China was invited to join the
allies, but trefrained from doing so,
but when the United States issued, a
declaration of war and President Will
son invited China to join the allies
with the United States, that China
very promptly declared war against
the central powers. He hopes that
nothing win be done at the peace table
in Europe to destroy the good feeling
which obtains between our country
and China. The bishop expects to re-
turn to China in the near future and
will not return to the United States
until 1920, to- attend he Methodist
quadrennial: conference. One cannot
help but admire this wonderful man
who hats so largely given up his life
work for others and when we think of
the splendid, accomplishments which
he has to his credit, we cannot but
feel that he is a great and sincere man.
The bishop created a jolt in the
minds of some of his hearers on Sun
day evening by stating that he was
glad President Wilson was "a member
of the peace committee of this coun-
try, but relieved the situation some
what by saying he was sorry the pres.
ident did not see fit to appoint William
H. Taft and Elihu Root also members
of the committee.
Depison will long remember the Wis
it OF this distinguished man.

Z SLACK sEAsok Of YEAR
Calls for Farm Help Have Let Up
| Short Corn Crop ThisSYears Civ
en- As One Of the Reasons

Calls for farm help have let up at
the farm bureau Office. This is the
slackest time we have experienced,
says County Agent Quist, in regard to
calls for farm labor. The fact that
the corn crop was light put that job
out OF the way in a hurry and corn
husking is the last rushing job OF the
season
On the other hand we are having
calls for farm jobs. The release of
men from the army at a slack time of
the year is causing a surplus in labor.
Two good men called at the farm bu-
reau office Monday looking for farm
jobs. A letter was also received from
lieutenant who had Just received
hisldisch charge from the army and was
now anxious for a farm job with the
prospect later Of working on a part
nership basis. IS
Last year Jobs went begging. Now
with the release of men from the army
anyone who can arrange his work so
as to employ some of these men
should do so. Call UP the farm bn-
reau office and leave Your help wants
there.

Bishop Lewis, Great Methodist 6ish
op Stationed in China, Spoke in
Denison on Sunday Last
GAVE OLD FASHIONED SERMON
Made Much Favorable Comment as to
China, Saying That Nation Was
Great Friend of America

Bishop Lewis came to Denison on
Sunday and gave two addresses which
he delivered at the Methodist church,
and which was an event in history to
the community. Not for long time
has Denison been visited by a man of
his caliber, and who was able to de-
liver two addresses the same day. "a

ance of the morning as, a sermon be-
cause it was regular old fashion ed
sermon. delivered with all the power
and ability that this great man pos
sesses. He made his point SO clear
that child could understand his
meaning. On Sunday evening there
was a union service in which the sew
eral protestant churches took part
and the address Of the bishop was
along the line Of his work in China.
He does not hesitate to say that his
life work is to be given to China, or
as he expresses it, he expects to re-
main there unless the church calls
him away,
He shows an intense interest in the
welfare ,of the yellow race, which in
cludes not only China but Japan. and
he is able to point out that in his in:
terest in the people of these countries
he is not Indifferent to our own well
fare, because he says that if we make
a mistake in our treatment of the vel

scribes the Cinnamon as rule as men

China but as to Japan. He pictures
the Chinese nation as extending back

existing before all of the ether nations

day is not. different from the China-
man of centuries ago. He says that

Commercial band for their fine SER

The band boys have responded nobly
during the past year and have been

patriotic meetings. In addition the
club voted to give members of the
band six months membership to the
club and by SO doing show in meager
way their appreciation Of the fine SER
vice rendered.
Another important matter that came
up for consideration was the matter OF

Considerable important business was
transacted at this meeting.
The commistee appointed by the

a balance on handin the fund of 1896
after all bills had been paid.
A report by the committee that had
charge OF the garden contest held in
Denison this summer was made and
the names of the winners of the var
ious prizes were announced. They
report the contest most successful and
many members of the club expressed
themselves in favor Of holding a gar
3 den contest each year, believing it
will stimulate the raising Of garden
stuff and have tendency to improve
the looks of property.
g. Il. CasWell, member of the spe-
cial committee appointed to take up
the matter of marking the Lincoln
highway across Crawford county with
the board Of supervisors, reported
that the board had consented to make
this Improvement The highway will
be marked with the official markers
which are made ofsenameled steel and
mounted on 10 foot cedar posts set in

the highway through the county will
be in the neighboYhood of 5000, Most
OF the counties of the state through
which the LINCOLN highway passes
have signified their intention of max
ing this improvement. BY so doing
the marking will be uniform through
out the state and will be Of a perma-

explained in opening that while the

of people in Europe might be fed UNI

Few people appreciate the condi-
tons that now exist in European
countries, stated Mr.. Thompson, and
unless we people here in America and
neutral nations exert ourselves we
will have an enemy in Europe to cope
with that will be even worse than the
kaiser and his military junkers. I'I

speaker. Bolshevik means member OF
