THE OLD ART OF TERRACINc

Considerable field terracing has been
done in Tennessee, but some of it has
not proven satisfactory, mainly be-
cause the work has been poorly done
and little attention has been given to
the work after it has been finished.
Some terraces are holding well and
will prove very valuable. In West
Tennessee, where terracing is most
important, county agents are equipped
with field levels and are, devoting much
time to terracing demonstrations. Most
terracing failures are due to the fact
that the low places were not filled IN
sufficiently and terraces are too mar.
row. In some fields too few terraces
have been built, and they have not
been able to handle TIE water without
overlapping.
Unless terracing ID done right, 1t =
better not to attempt It. There u
plenty of evidences to show that werA
\ wasted unless 1t h well done.

Fully 2500 people attended the
dedication of the new Pleasant Grove
Methodist church in the Eleventh
Civil District OF this county Sunday.
The new edifice is modern brick
church and one of the handsom-
est church buildings-in this section
of the state.
The Pleasant Grove Methodist
church is one of the Oldest church
organizations in the Upper Cumber-
land country, the congregation hav-
ing been organized in Is 5. Before
the civil war it was one of the most
widely known and largely camp
grounds in this section of the state.
Services were held at the new
church and also at the county high
school building situated near the
church. The services at the church
were conducted by F. M. Thomas, d.
D., of Nashville; the presiding elder
T. w. holland, of Lebanon; and the
pastor, Rev. J. L. Smotherm IN. Rev.
JAS. Jared conducted the services
at the High School.
A bOuntiful dinner was served on
the grounds, which was more than
sufficient to accommodate all who
were present. The occasion was
not only the dedication Of the new
church building, but also a home
coming" of this church, and, not
only this and the adjoining counties
were represented, but several differ

4coME TO COLUMBUS"

The first week Of the Methodist
Missionary Centenary celebration
has proven that great enterprise to
he more than even its projectors ex-
pected Following closeiy on the
heels of the marvelously successful
Centenary drive for $115.000,0O0, II
has captured the Imagination of ev-
cry visitor.
We have attended all the great ex-
positions in the United States since
1876 and we have never seen one
combining information, instruction
and inspiration more successfully
than our own joint centenary cele-
bration which began here at Colum-
bus. Ohio, Friday, June 20. It has
no features that are not entirely suit
able for Christian celebration, but
nothing is lacking to satisfy themost
exacting visitor. Those who care for
bigness will be more than satisfied
with such features as the colossal
screen for the biggest projection Ian
tern ever constructed, screen that
towers over the landscape so that It
is visible for miles, the trombone
choir of hundred pieces, the vast
pipe organ in the Coliseum the end
less exhibits of life and character in
the exposition buildings, represent
ing the different nations.
The unique and bewildering spec
tacle which the. program calls pa
geant, entitled .'The Wayfarer." is
drawing thousands to the Coliseum
every week night. "The Wayfarer"
is so far from being an amateur ar
fair that it loses nothing In compari-
son with the most pretentious effort
Of the wirfd's experts IN pageantry;
so far from making allowances it has
frankly challenged the critics to
judge it on its merits, and they have
given it unstinted praise. While
delight to the eye and ear, the pa
geant brings every hearer vivid 'e
alization of God present in His world.
The exposition demonstrates that
entertainment need not be dominat-
ed by the spirit of wordliness in order
to attract and delight our people,
young and old, but that it may be
clean, wholesome and inspiring.
May we not urge all our people to
join in making this the greatest and
most thoroughly Christia exposition
that the world has ever known?
Come to Columbus. The exposition
closes July 18th.

A Republic Of the World
By Janes A. Edsertos
@W

When our deathless Declaration
Brought new land into birth.
1t was not alone a nation
1t conferred upon the earth;
But 1t added to the glory
OF that fair, immortal page
The first chapters of the story
Or a new and golden age.
Over this achievement real.
That the eyes of all might see,
1t erected an ideal
or humanity made free:
1t set up for all the races
The same goal that 1t had won
And 1t bade them turn their faces
To the rising of the sun.
, since that time the generations
W mankind are growing free,
Wniie the progress of the nations
Keeps In step with Liberty:
new republics are the fashion.
Df our own design and plan.
Burning with the sacred passion
VI the brotherhood of man.
What though now the lands king
ridden
All are weltering in gore,
Freedoms light cannot be hidden
BY the clouds and wrack of war;
For, from out its deyastations,
A new flag may be unfurled
Of Union OF the nations,
A Republic of the World.
Herein lies the deeper meaning
OF the many in the one:
It's lesson for the cleaning
OF alr lands beneath the sun.
Racial rivers coalescing
Here commingle and Increase.
30 al earth may find the blessing
Born Of union and OF peace.

Special Despatch TO THB Sus.

MONTREAL, April 14.-Some definite
data from Sir Thomas White, In n
statement before Parliament last week,
make possible the estimate that the
Dominion OF Canada's share of the
monetary cost of the great war will be
more than $500 900, 900.
On the basis of a population OF about
100000 the war costs will amount to
well on to 5000 a head, which contrasts
with per capita debt of about $40 be-
fore the war, on the basis OF the total
debt OF the Dominion then outstanding
The exact proportion OF war costs that
Will prove to have been met out of current
revenue cannot be determined as vet
but will probably be in the neighborhood
OF 20 per cent.
The Minister OF Finance places actual
expenditure on war account up to the
end of last February at 81 1925, 09S, 122,
and the estimated expenditure to March
81, on which date the Governments
fiscal year closes, at s1,277,273,oO0. The
estimated expenditure for the year end
ing March 81, 1920, is s296,696,614, and
the House of Commons is now being
asked to vote an appropriation of $780,
100000. the excess amount, to cover pos
sible deficiencies in the estimate due
to the adjustment OF accounts between
the Dominion and the imperial Govern
ment.
Taking round figures for the expendi-
ture on war account by years ending
March 81, the result tabulates as fol-
lows:

MONTREAL. April 14-As In Wall
Street specialties rather than the stand
ard stocks furnished the feature of last
weeks trading on the Montreal Stock
Exchange.
Chief in the list OF strong speclalties
were the National Breweries' securities,
which made vigorous response to the
provincial referendum on the sale of
beer and light wines. In anticipate ion
that the popular vote would be favorable
breWeries common advanced from 20 to
AN, and Breweries preferred from so
to SO to S3l2. On Friday, when the anti
prohibition party proved a winner by an
overwhelming majority, the common
opened ~ up at SO and rose to co
and the preferred UP at 30. with a
further advance of a fraction later
Dominion Glass common was also ia
largest manufacturer of bottles in the
Dominion. This issue advanced about
2 points to new high record Of 49&
Stocks of the milling and cotton groups
were prominent from time to time
through the week, the influence in both
cases being the placing of additional
orders for export. At one time the mar
ket heard that an order for $500, 900
barrels Of -four had been received for
British account. This subsequently re-
solved Itself into an order for $50, 200
barrels In the meantime the millings
stocks. such as Ogilvie. Lake of the
Woods, Maple Leaf and st. Lawrence ad-
vanced to points and held most Of
the gains, even after it was demonstrated
that the order was only about one-sixth
of the size first reported
Cotton stocks all scored gains, fol-
lowing the report of the placing of a
large order for the Rumanian Govern
ment with the Dominion Textile Com
pany This order, first estimated at
about 100000. was subject to upward
rather than downward revision later, the
amount of the business offering to the
company proving to be about $4,000 900.
Textile common touched a new high
record level at l12. an advance OF 2.
with sympathetic strength in other
stocks such as Canadian Cottons. Con-
verters and Wabasso. which also eStab-
lished new high quotations.
Power and steel stocks were barely
steady and not very active. Montreal
Power showed good resistance to a strike
among the company's employees yielding

loss later. The steels were inclined to
sag moderately. Steel Company OF
Canada fell back TO 60 eX dividend.
equivalent to the loss OF about a point.
while Dominion Steel at Gli4 was off a
small fraction.
Bonds were on the quiet side, with
prices steady to firm, but strictly invest
ment stocks such as bank and pre-
ferred were higher In many instances.
A feature of the bank list was a rise
of points In Merchants Bank. which
sold on Friday at 1877. a new nigh for
