New methods OF financing the Baptist
church and plans for increasing the
church's activities in war-stricken coun-
tries of Europe are two of the impor-

with committee to decide before each
convention how much money is needed
and divide the total among all the
churches after the convention approves.
Its plan was worked out by the national
committee of northern Baptist laymen
appointed at the last convention.
The second financial proposal comes
from the international Church Fedora

denominations unite in financing plan
similar to that Of the United War Work
campaign conducted by various relief
organizations for the benefit Of the sol

INTERPRETATIONS OPENING TOCAPAC|TY
 AT START OF SEASON

The inability on the part of many of the growers 10 get their cotton ginned on time has served to partially dis courage a number Of them through a failure on their part to consider that the drawb backs we're but of a tempo rlry nature. Even at this late date there Is a quantity of cotton left un- ginned. and since the market today is not SO high as at the beginning of the season there will be a resultant loss of many dollars to the grower.
 Tho inability to get cotton ginned on time vas in reality the fault of no one. on account Of the precedence in war material shipments on the rail- roads, freight shipments Of ginning machinery were held up. It was diff cult also to get men thoroughly fami
 liar with the placing of gin machinery on tho job at the time the Southwest orn company was putting in tis plant here and elsewhere and while B. R. Mccall was having erected the four gins at Mesa. Tempe. Chandler and Gicndale. The result Of all the various delays was that for several weeks after inc first cotton was ready for gin- ming the gins were not ready to handle tho crop. This delay occurred while cotton was selling at around 65 cents per pound, and since the majority of the growers needed money to pay their pickers and to pay off loans made them on their crops. there was a great deal Of dissatisfaction. However with al most superhuman efforts on the part of the gin owners. the plants finally were made ready and the work com- menced. In the midst of the season, Messrs. Attaway and Phelps added their plant to the Mesa capacity. yet with all three gins in constant opera ton. the work has never caught up. All farmers who are giving the matter any consideration at all, realize that with the three gins now in splendid working condition. with three more at Tempe two at Chandler. and S35. 900 plant tO be erected at Gilbert this sum- mer. there will be no such delay in future and the farmer may have his hale Of cotton ready to take advantage of any price offered at which he may To willing to sell.

Contrast Between Egyptian
 And .. s. Egyptian Cotton

Tho following is taken from the latest government cotton information issued in a pamphlet by the United states department of agriculture under the title Bulletin No. 7i2. January lj, Iu9.
 Egyptian cottbn cannot be grown except under irrigation and fin the ab- scnce of the boil weevil. This cotton is used especially in the manufacture of goods in which strength or fine ness or a combination c' both qualities Is desired. The Egyptian cotton. due to the large number of types and va reties produced has shown marked de- terioration due to inter crossing and this has led to long series of efforts to grow % suitable long staple cotton r. Uis .oar'ry which has i!layH ctl- rdnatcd m the Pima variety grown in tlie. Salt River Valley. known as Amer icHn Egyptian cotton.
 Tn Egypt it is impossible 10 main tain pure seed as adjacent fields con tlin different varieties and types and
 
 taken Co maintain the purity of the growing seed. Also the cotton crop in Egypt Is suffering severely from the presence Of insect pests. Hence from the Egyptian crop we have no assur- auco of permanency Of supply or qual- ity
 The reverse is true Of the Ameri- Egyptian cotton as here every pre- caution is taken to maintain the purity uf the planting seed and to better the quality of the product by the use of a government supervised restricted seed urea and no pests of any nature have come Co bother the industry. A con- tinuance of this policy is assured and hence the market is assured a perman- ent source Of supply and standard quality.
 The staple and quality of this Amer can Egyptian cotton in equal to the best varieties produced in Egypt Most of the Egyptian cotton imported to the nited States is of a low grade and short staple, i. Q. li4 to 1 3-S inches. Tho American E"vntian cotton does not come into competition with this class but with the better and higher priced varieties.

must be met here in maintenance of a standard quality which comes through a close following of the selective seed process.
 ''TNe matter of a market and well known product it should be well estab- lished by another season. By follow ing up the work that this exchange has done the product cannot help but be well and favorably known. Co-opera- ton among the growers is becoming more and more close and the product is increasingly well known every day. The product will do it's own advertising once it can be placed in the hands of the manufacturer.

 In reference to this table Mir. Hast ing says, Tt is rather difficult to de- termine why these percentages are so much higher than those obtained at the gins throughout this section. It is req sonable to expect them to be somewhat higher as the samples were carefully picked and ginned. but they were run through ordinary small roller gin. They suggest to me that it may be possible to eliminate some of the loss at a considerable saving to the grow CTS. The indicated loss is over three per ce~t and it is hardly possible to believe that this is due to the differ ence in conditions between here ana the valley

raising of American Egyptian cotton the yield should approach an average of 500 pounds to the acre. This esti- mate is based on the assumption of 25 per cent to 70 per cent only of the acre age will be in cotton annually on land which has been enriched by crops of alfalfa.
 The cotton in Egypt equal to Amer ioan- Egyptian cotton is limited to lower Egypt-the Nile Delta north of Cairo. This land is highly capitalized and the cost of irrigation water is high. Expressed in rental values it ranges rom 5000 to S75.00 per acre. Picking costs are much lower in Egypt than in the United States. Aside from these items the cost of reduction in the two countries does not vary materially

COOLEY HIGHWAY
IS DESIGNATED
Former State Engineer Honored by
Name of New Highway.

The road from Grand Rapids
southeast to Sisseton, S. D., is to be
known as the Cooley Highway, in
honor of George W.'Cooley, who was
for many years state highway engi-
neer. This highway does not call for
the construction of new roads, but
the organization of existing roads
into we'll marked trail.
The Cooley Highway association,
which was formed several weeks ago,
plans to have through highway ex-
tending from Grand Rapids through
Cohasset, Remer, Brainerd, Barrows,
Grow Wing, Lennon, Fort Ripley,
Little Falls, Swanville, Osaks, Mel
son, Alexandria,, Forada, Glenwood,
,Starbuck, Cyrus, Morris, Chokio,
Graceville, Browns Valley, and end
ing at Sisseton, S. D.
This route, it will be seen, is sim
ply combination of the two trails
known as the "Cloverleaf Route and
the Brainerd Oakis-Sisseton Cutoff.
1t will make diagonal route run
ming from northeast to, southwest,
and will intersect many. of the most
important trails in the state, such
as the Jefferson Highway and the
Red River Trail. -
The Cooley Highway will be mark
ed with a fourteen inch black band,
extending two-thirds of the way
around the telephone poles, hanked
on top and bottom with three inch
| white bands A white letter "C''
will be stenciled in the black bana.
An official signboard bearing the
name of the highway will be erected
one mile from the limits of, each
town through which the highway
passes, and will show the distance
to the towns on both sides of the
sign. ~ *.s-.. :. >.ss= : I'll: ::si:.::.
| The officers of the association are:
p. r: Ruggles, of Osakis, president;
Arthur Irgens, Glenwood, secretary
and W. E. Olson, Little Falls, treas
urer. Grand Rapids and Sisseton
commercial clubs are each to- name
vice-president, while members of
the board Of directors will be chosen
from the principal towns through
which the road passes. :32 .s= & n
It will be seen that the Cooley
Highway passes through some of the
finest scenery in the state, and will

4. Minnesota has 25O, ,61O miles of tele-
phone wires, according to James w.
Howatt, Supervisor of Telephones; ia
his annual report to the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission.
# strung along the equator, the
wires would encircle the globe more
than 10 times. The pole lines have
an aggregate length of 18,O24 miles.
Allowing. thirty poles to the mile,
this would mean that there are n
$780, ,720 poles used exclusively in the
telephone business in Minnesota. i
There are 1919 known telephone
companies in the state, ranging from
the Arthur Freese Telephone Com
pany of Lyon County, with one sub
scriber and ~ of mile Of. wire
strung on fence posts, up to a $24,-
100000. 90 corporation. The total in
vestment in telephone properties
reaches the huge sum of 5,671 ,957!
90, which gives some idea of the ex-
tent and Importance of the telephone
service of this state.
The total number of telephones ii
use is 1876, ,789, which on the popula-
tion basis Of 2,432,000 gives one tele+
phone for every six inhabitants
There are 99,439 telephones on rural
or farm lines. The number of farms
is given as 156,137 and hence 81 pei
cent of the farms in Minnesota are
supplied with telephone service, or
in other words, Ga out of every 1O(
farms are connected with the exten.

During the year 1918 the Super.

of the Mortified News. His letter
which follows, will be Of interest tx
the states people:
"I'm not going to talk food to
you as I am sure you get enough
of that. However, it might en-
courage you as state fc3d ad-
ministrator to get my bit of tes-
timony. I can say, without any
attempt at propaganda, that we
are being we'll fed here in

you folks are doing at home.
During our first weeks here the
Service of Supplies had its trou
bles, and as a result we thought
we had ours, but of late the
trucks have rolled up to our roll
ling kitchen loaded with the
staff of life and all the minor
staffs.
"As one Yank pointed out
when writing home, we are
strong on the community stuff
over here. Every meal is a COM
munity affair-and so is prac-
tically everything else we do
from drawing our pay and our
smoking tobacco to taking a
bath. 1t is making a great bro
therhood of the whole outfit and
we scrap together and enjoy each
other as real brotherhood. It's
