this in numerous communities, de-
olares a bulletin from the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of the World,
which has fOstered the use Of adver-
Using in behalf OF the church.
Church advertising, however, is like
all advertising, says the bulletin. The
church, to advertise successfully,
must have "the goods as truly as
this is necessary in the case of
merchant.
If a business man undertakes to
advertise poor goods, the advertising
emphasizes the poor quality, because
more people are induced to examine
the goods. They talk about it and,
therefore. such advertising cannot
pay 1t is so with the church. The
church that advertises successfully
must be sure that the services are
as good as the advertisements.

Greatest Wheat Crop
in History.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Bonuses
may be paid farmers who delay mar.
keting their $2.26 wheat, under a
program being developed by the
government in aiding railroads to
move the biggest harvest in the ma.
tons history.
Exact terms Of payment of the
bonuses are scheduled for announce
ment soon by the United States

gram is changed. Payments prob
ably will be scaled at one or two
cents a bushel for each month for
which the wheat is held after being
harvested. Meanwhile, the railroads,
with the cooperation of the United
States shipping board and pgricul-
ture department, are completing 9TH
er details. These details include:
Maneuvering 10000 cars into
sidings in the west before July /,
when the grain shipments begin.
Efficient handling of $4,000 new
cars added since last year.
Organization OF grain shipment
combination in more than score
of cities to administer the permit
shipment system.
Swinging ocean vessels into SEIZED
ules that will permit them to load
grain as soon as 1t Is delivered to
the dock.
Provision for greater use of termi
nails at ports on the Gulf Of Mexico
General organization Of all farmers
shippers and elevator men to gain
their thoughtful cooperation.
Practically every bushel OF the
big crop will have to be transported
at least one mile, Some Of the wheat
will move 1000 miles, from Idaho tc
Galveston.
From Kansas City to New York
the haul is about $500 miles.
Between 450, 100000 and 5O0,000,ooc
bushels Of wheat will flow out
through the United States ports this
year. This is almost four times as
great as the export movement in
1914-1915.

Train FOUND
II Is on High Seas and viii Land In
America Some Time Next Week
Enroute for Homes In This
Section.
IT SAILED LAST MONDAY
Message from Ono Of Its officers Sent
by Wireless Clears Up Mystery
of the whereabouts Of the
Unit
IT SAILED LAST MONDAY

The lost 109th ammunition train
has been found-in the middle OF the
Atlantic ocean.
1t sailed last Monday from Dor
deaux and is expected to land IN
America the first part Of next week.
There was no information about II
for SO long that Congressman Ken
nedy was appealed to to try to locate
lit. Letters to it's men were returned
endorsed that it had started home,
but Washington had recalled Its sail
ing orders and then apparently had
mislaid the whole train.
The mystery was cleared up by a
wireless message from Lieutenant
George Little Of Burlington, to his
wife. stating that the train was on
the transport Lowar and had sailed
Monday.
Arrive Next Week.
1t is believed that the unit VIII
reach New York some time next
week. and there is a possibility that
the train conveying the members OF
the unit will reach Iowa on It's way
to Camp Dodge within two weeks
time.
Although tneTe nave UccA Aeny
reports during the past three or four
months telling Of the date OF the
sailing of the unit, this is the first
cablegram from an officer in the train
stating that the unit has actually
sailed.
Major HoiIoweIl Remains.
AS far as can be learned, the 109th
| is returning entire as to officers and
enlisted men, with the possible ex-
ception of it's commander. Major
Thomas P. Hollowell of Fort Madi-
son, who will enter service with the
army of occupation in Germany.
The unit is comprised chiefly OF
men from the first district, and plans
are under way for a celebration at
Burlington for the troops If the
efforts to have the train routed
/ through that city are successful.
! In the 109th ammunition train are
soldiers from Keokuk and other
parts of Lee county, and Major Hol-
lowell was largely instrumental in
securing enhstments for 1T here
| abouts.
