Farmer Believes In Advertising.

says an Iowa farmer and breeder who
has goodly number of Shorthorns
and of Poland China swine, as well as
some seed corn to sell each year. 1--WE

advertising medium" he says, IF /
were larger breeder, would use
more farm journal space, but have
not gotten to that point yet. The
country newspaper gets me all the Gus

farmer ought to know what advertis-
ing means and how to use it, because
it can be made valuable help in sell
ing farm products to advantage.

Annemasse. France. Oct. 12.-(By
courier from Rome)-In spite of
signor Tittoni's assertion that the
Fiume storm is clearing, the actual
Indications are that the situation is
becoming more grave.
The Duke OF Aosta, who failed in
his mission to D'Annunzio on be-
half of the government. has been
exiled. going to Belgium. The min
listers of war and marine are re-
ported to be about to resign and
even the King Is said to be threat
ening to abdicate in the face of the
refusal Of the regular army to oust
the poet-dictator from Fiume.
The entire Italian nation is
aroused and is manifesting its ex-
treme sympathy by means Of a sub
scription in aid OF D'Annunzio,
which has already reached $3.50. 900.
New troops are continually joining
him by land and sea. The Jugo-
Slav front is held by eight volunteer
battalions fully equipped with artil-
lery.
Meanwhile the conviction that the
annexation of Fiume will finally be
declared by Italy is growing strong
er in Rome. Premier Nitti. who so
far has declined to break his en-
gagement with the allies. is drift
ing toward annexation through the
channel of the political elections
which are expected to declare boldly
in favor OF such q step.
Immediately afterward. it is ex-
pected Tittoni and Nitti will resign.
rather than stand in the position of
having broken their word to the

MARINE WILLED
4O-WIFE HAREM
South Sea Sultan Remembers
American Friend in
Startling Fashion.

San Francisco. Oct. 1s.-Sergeant
Robert A. Mclean. of the Marine
Recruiting Station. and a former
San Franciscan. recently fell heir
to surprise legacy. featuring forty
wives among the assets-or Iiabili-
ties.
Mclean spent two of his many
years Of service in the southern
islands Of the Philippine group. In
stead of using his spare time Ian
gushing for the friends back in the
States. Mclean made new ones of
different race and a decidedly diff
ferent color. He learned the lam
guaGc and chummed with the re-
putedly fierce Moros to such an ex-
tent that he was formally adopted
by the Sultan of Llang-LlanE, a
small island of the coast of Bor-
neo.
And now that same dusky ruler
has died and bequeathed his various
~ NAAlS
and there is a harem.
Mclean tells his experiences in
this way:
Il took Frank Korncum and Ser
geant Walter. of the Marine Corps,
now stationed in California, with
me. When we reached the Sultan's
home we were ushered into the pub
lie hall, which was only a good
sized tent pitched high on stills.
There l found the Sultan. looking
very stately and important
My friends and l were taken
INTO an adjoining room and dressed
in long. flowing robes. We were
taken before the Sultan, who first
barred his own chest and made a
little slash in ii with a Moro kris
and then made me bare my chest
while he cut the same size slash.
Taking a drop of blood from his
chest he mixed it with a drop of
my blood. and from then on I was
his adopted son. 1 left the next day,
and i have never seen him since.
And speaking of the harem. they
were OF in quarters by themselves
and i never set eyes upon them.
Whether they were as old as my
grandmother. or mere fappers. I do
not know. Some of the native
women are quite pretty
Mclean doesn't know whether he
will be called upon to enact the role
of a wealthy potentate, or merely to
assist in a series of financial ad-
justments in the settlement OF the
Sultan's estate.
But the haremc
Mclean looks archly aside and
says he doesn't know.

PASTOR CALLS BIBLE
THE GREATEST STORY

Most people have never seen a
Bible in their lives. l wish to call to
your attention the greatest story in
the world and the demonstration the
Bible makes of IT," declared DR..
Charles L. Goodell. pastor of the First
Congregational Church, in his sermon
last night.
Printing was invented that this
book might be circulated, and the
Greek languages came forth from the
grave with this book in its hands.
The sales Of the Bible have far
exceeded the combined sales Of the
writings OF Milton, Shakespeare, Dick
ms. Thackeray and Browning. The
sales of the Bible have exceeded 700,
10000 copies Bible was written
BY over fifty different authors and
was 1.soo years in the writing. 1t has
been over 1.soo years since the ink
was dry on the last pages Of the Bible
and for substance and doctrine 1t re-
mains unimpeached.
'-The great men OF the ages have
been close readers of this book and
its teachings have been the greatest
factor in their lives. Bryan made
himself popular by a single reference
to it. and Roosevelt referred the re-
porters in every newspaper to il for
a history Of the battle Of Armaseddon.
"The most popular poem in the
world Is not to be found in the works
Of Shakespeare, Milton. Longfellow.
or any other great writers. The TWEEN

lad who had meyer been to school, IL

CHURCH COULD
SOLVE INDUSTRIAL WAR

Rev. Howard I. Stewart. pastor Of
Second Baptist Church, Virginia ave-
nue. and Fourth street southeast, yes
terday posed the question, "can the
church call an armistice between
capital and labor?" in q forceful SER
mon at morning services.
The crux Of his sermon was to ap-
peal to the now contendfng factions to
put their faith in the church, ask Gods
help and many Of their grievances
would be corrected.
The trouble with capital today 10
that capital is inclined to frown down
upon labor. The rich should not de-
spise the poor.
And the trouble with labor is that
labor comes forth with TRADES against
the rich. Why despise the rich? La
Dor would be rich IL 1t could.
labor must not get It into its
head that Mr.. Pick. Shovel and Co.
can alone correct the great problems
presented in life.
The force of brains must be given
its due. Brains and labor can together
accomplish everything II they pull to-
gether.
There Is an inclination toward too
much Independence between capital
and labor. This is the wrong attitude.
For together they must first agree.
Let them put their trust In God and
their faith In the church. Give the
church its due and account It as q
factor toward arriving at the final set
tlemen."
