that are outstations from the
Bruno church would more than
crowd the church. but there were
other Sunday schools represented
and the church building was en-
tirely Inadequate to hold the

sided over the meeting. A splen-

and it was carried through in a
successful way. The singing and
the musical part of the program
was especially good. Much cred

they lead the singing.

TO BUILD HOSPITALS

To alleviate human suffering and
cure disease through the extension OF
its great system Of hospital centers
now twenty-six in number, in coun-
tries where groups of millions of peo-
pie are without adequate medical at
tention, the Board of Foreign Missions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
will spend s2,2SS,624 in building for
ty-fve more hospitals and twenty-four
dispensaries in foreign countries as a
result of the Methodist Centenary
Movement to raise s115,000,00O for
world reconstruction.
This is an entirely separate venture
from that of the forty-eight hospitals
maintained by the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in America through which
pass annually over 10000 patients.

Half way between Meridian and the

step behind him. and friendly hand
was laid on his shoulder. He turned
to see Morley Roberts, president Of
the Falltown Steel Products Company,
smiling gravely at him.
Roberts fell, into step with Corwin.

Corwin had cultivated Roberts, for
though Corwin had inherited consid-
cradle wealth and was not forced to
search for clients, the prospects Of
one day getting the legal business that
Roberts could throw In his way was
not to be lost.
Roberts was tall, dark, with black,
lambert eyes, straight, strong features
and a hard mouth. He was broad
shouldered and erect suave, and
smoothly courteous.

asked.
Corwin nodded. Everybody seems
to have heard it," he replied. He
smiled, calling Roberts attention to

who were eagerly discussing the new

war business. Why doesn't America
keep out of it? What have we to gain
through a war with Germany"
Corwin was disappointed. He had
expected Roberts to be enthusiastic
over the prospect Of war. For he had
been led to believe that enormous
profits were to be made in the manu-.
facture Of war munitions, and he
knew Roberts company was we'll

Corwin did not argue with Roberts

Wild Hemp Growing in

Wild hemp has possibilities FOR the
manufacture Of binding Irvine and its
cultivation may become a part az Can
ada's postwar Industrial program.
The Indians OF the coast and In

long been famous as carvers. weav-
ers and boat-buliders. but 70 was only
recently that attention was attracted
10 the fine rope which they make from
wild hemp. At Awlligate In the Bulk
ley valley near New Hazeiton there Is
a village Of Indians who display re-
markable skill In making rope from
the abundant wild hemp which covers
the surrounding country. They have
been making this rope for centuries
by n method OF their own. and IL Is
so strong that they use II for towing
their heavily laden canoes up the cur
rents Of swift rivers. This q convinc-
ing proof Of It's sfoufness. They also
make Irvine and thread from the hemp.
but not en- such quantities as in the
days before they were able 90 pur-
chase these articles cheaply from
traders. The wild hemp closely re-
sembles the common FIRE weed o. the

Gold PIacers Throughout
Eastern Siberia Are Rich;
Can Be Worked With Ease

From time inmemorial Siberia has
been known 10 Russians as the Gold
en- Bottom" and this not without q
reason
The great gold placers scattered
throughout eastern Siberia tempted
and attracted enterprising individuals
for many centuries. through their rich
ness and the ease with which they
could be worked.
Only the severity of the climate
and lack OF adequate transportation
together with Indifference on the part
OF the government prevented the 81
berian gold fields from becoming tbs
greatest In the world.
Aliuvlai gold was first found In the
Province OF Eniseisk In 1880. After
wards gold was discovered In great
amounts throughout the whole prov.
ince. The gold Is found In many
cases In the sand Of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation OF these
deposits varies. but In many cases
shows REORGANIZATION OF slate rocks
The thickness Of gold-bearIng strata
varies In places from IA feet 20 p
feet. and their extent from fve-tenths
to IS miles
