.EP|SC0PALIANS
OF STATE TO MEET
AT LITTLE ROCK
Will Discuss Plans for a
Nation Wide Church
Campaign.

Little Rock, May 13-The program
of the Nationwide Campaign of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, under
taken for the expansion of the activi-
ties of the church at home and abroad
will be presented to the convention
OF the Diocese of Arkansas, which
will be held in Little Rock on Thurs
day, May IS, by the Rev. J. D. La
iMothe, rector of the Church of the
Ascension, Baltimore, who has been
released by his parish that he may
devote his time to the campaign.
Since the preliminary announce
ment of the plans of the Board of
Missions of the Episcopal Church for
great awakening to the problems of
reconstruction. a large majority OF
the bishops Of tn echurch have pledg-
ed their support to the movement.
The program has been presented to
numerous diocesan conventions in
the last few weeks and in every case
the" response has been emphasized
by the appointment OF campaign
committee. 1t is expected that such
a committee will be organized in the
Diocese of Arkansas as result of
the Rev. Mr.. La Mothe's address to
the convention.
To Make Survey.
The first step of such CAMPAIGN
committee would be the compilation
Of the results of an active accurate
survey of the problems Of this do
cese. These local needs would re-
ooi,,o f;rof confederation onoord;ur +c
the program proposed by the board of
Missions in cooperation with the
Board of Religious Education, the
Joint Commission on Social and the
other agencies of the Church.
Already much has been done to
start off the campaign in way that
will insure its success. Each do
cesar convention that has been held
thus far and was accessible has been
addressed by leaders of the movement
who have outlined it's scope.
Without exception these conven-
tons became enthusiastic when thew
learned how great was the effort to
be made. and they have been unani-
nous in agreeing to back the CAM
snaign to the Limit of their resources.

by the Rev. Robert w. Patton, D. D..

was listened to with profound inter-
est. At the conclusion of his speech
IA general sentiment for cooperation
was voiced and as result commit
tee was appointed there and then to
confer with the bishop of the diocese,
the Rt. Rev .Cortlandt Whitehead, D.
D., for the purpose of selecting the
best committee obtainable in the do
cese to undertake the campaign.
That has been the characteristic atti-
tude of all subsequent conventions
and the leaders are certain of the sol.
i'd backing of the clergy and the laity.
Has Four Purposes.
Broadly speaking, the program of
the campaign falls into four distinct
purposes, which are. To bring the
spiritual power Of the Church to bear
upon the Churcfl's whole task; to
obtain on adequate number of re-
cruits for Christian leadership. both

COAST LEAGUE
IS PR0SPERING
BIG SEASON is PREDICTED
BY BASEBALL Mag
MATES

SAN FRANCISCO, April IS. =
The large crowds attending the
games Of the Pacific Coast league
to date indicate to officials OF
the organization that the public
welcomes the return of play after
a heavy falling off In patronage
during the war. Reports from the
cities where the opening games
were held show that new attend
ance records were made at every
point. In proportion to its popu-
lation the city Of Sacramento
showed the largest outpouring OF
enthusiasts. The leagues officials
are jubilant at the showing be-
ing made and are predicting n OF
the best seasons, from all points
of view, that baseball has expert
enced on the coast.
Coast baseball closed last year
during July, owing to lack of in
terest and consequent lack of pat
ronage. Many followers of the
game are questioning whether or
not the public is given too much
baseball in normal seasons. Some
are inclined to believe that a
shortening of the season would
serve to whet the appetite and
give an increased attendance for
a briefer period of play.
While the brand OF game served
to the public thus far has been
far from being perfect, it has
been of the variety appealing to
the crowds. There has been plen-
ty of batting and many run made
which has furnished a maximum
of action.
The two new acquisitions of the
league, Portland and Seattle,
made the poorest showing during
the first week of play but the. con
sensus of opinion seems to be that
both clubs have the makings of a
good team and that they will be
battling for honors with the lead
ers before long. Seattle was par.
ticularly unfortunate in the mat.

officials will be able to have the
games played faster as the con
testants get settled down to their
work.

HAWAII PLANNING
TO PRODUCE PAPER
REFUSE FROM SUGAR MANU-
FACTURE WILL BE
USED

HONOLULU, T. H., April 28.-As
a result of experiments conducted
for three years, a large sugar plan
tation on the island of Hawaii is
preparing to paper" 5000 acres of
it's sugar cane land, much like a
paperhanger covers the walls of a
room.
To supply material, a paper mill
has been erected at a cost of more
than $4,000, manufacturing heavy
mulching paper from bagasse, the
dry, fiberous refuse of sugar cane
after the juices have been ex-
pressed. The paper is prepared for
use in the fields by being saturated
with liquid asphalt.
The plan Is to cover the fields
with the mulching paper. The stur-
dy sugar zane drives its stalks
through the paper but all weeds are
now smothered. c.. F. Eckart, man.
ager of the plantation, says the
mulching process will greatly in
crease the yield of zane but will
reduce field labor costs more than
SO per cent. The covering paper
not only keeps the weeds out OF
the cane but retains moisture in the
| ground for its nourishment.
The paper mill will take only 80
tons of bagasse a day, n tenth OF
the sugar mills output during the
| grinding season, and will make only
enough paper for the plantation.
L. A. Thurston, newspaper pub
Usher Of Honolulu and m of the
founders of the plantation. is of the
opinion that the manufacture o.
paper from bagasse eventually will
become Hawaii's second greatest in
dustry. It has long been known
that paper could be made from
bagasse but low prices did not en-
courage development of the indus
try. With paper prices what the,
now are Mr.. Thurston says there Il
no reason why Hawaii can not be
come a great paper PRODUCING
country.

TOWNS Of ALASKA
CHOOSE OFFICIALS
SKAGWAY ELECTION Is POST
PONED OWING TO
INFLUENZA

JUNEAU, Alaska, Apr. 28-Most
of the large Alaska towns and cities
have completed their municipal cleo
tions, some marked by spirited con-
tests.
In Juneau a Citizens ticket was
victorious, electing J. Latimer Gray
as mayor. Five councilmen and
other officers were chosen also.
Seward rejected the race of Mayor
Harry Hoben for another term,
electing AL Chamberlain, 131 to 113.
Total registration was sol. Little
interest was shown in the Cordova
election, where A. J.. Adams was
chosen as mayor and only 40 votes
cast for the single ticket in the
field.
Ketchikan elected R. L. Petty
mayor over the incumbent, M. j.
Heneghan. The voters also APP
proved construction Of a municipal
wharf for the fishing feet. DIR.
Wallace e. Peterson defeated A. G.
Shoup for mayor of Sitka by 20
votes, in the towns closest mayor
atty fight. The total vote cast was
1876. In Wrangell, J. w. Pritchett.
editor and publisher of the Sentinel
was elected mayor. Fairbanks gave
for Mayor A. l.. Wilburg a vote OF
SI2.
Due to the influenza epidemic,
Skagway's election has been post
poned. With one ticket in the
field. Valdez polled a small vote,
electing A. j. Diamond mayor.
Douglas voters showed satisfaction
with their present officials, as with
the exception of voting in one nom
inee fol-. the council. the voters paid
virtually no attention to any other
offices. Thus 1t is believed that
mayor Elmer e. Smith and the old
council will remain in office for an.
other year.

Mn. BAKERS THIRD TERN INSPECTION

A man who signs his own name to his letters, A. q.
Brown. has written a remarkable letter on the remarkable
situation in Texas, published in Harveys weekly. he says
that before he undertook this trip his wife warned him
against talking any of his northern stuff in Texas, "Or you'll
be shot" She made him afraid to "open his head" until he
heard the Texans themselves talking. He says, and what ne
quotes seems to bear it out, that in Texas they dare to talk
much more freely than they do in the north. 1t is the north
that is afraid to talk the truth, although they are thinking 1T.
And what are they saying in Texas? One man said that
there was no solid south left. He said that the breaking up
of the old south would be the greatest service that the Will
son administration will render the country.
Another man, one who is or was a state senator and who
went to school with Burleson, talked the same way. When
asked if he were not going over to hear Secretary Baker, who
was there to inspect" war questions, this Texas statesman
replied: II wouldn't go fifty feet to hear that little wit
twit" And while the northern man was trying to recover
from his amazement at such a disrespectful remark about the
man who once was called, by the president, the greatest war
administrator he had ever known, the southerner went on in
this style:
-"The gentlemen who have been with him this morn
ing and who had hoped to learn something about the
future of Fort Bliss and Ell Paso as a military post
to decide upon which was heralded as his reason for
coming here-report that he had asked three ques-
tons: How do you people feel about the league of
nations?' How do you, who have benefited so much,
feel toward the Administrations and, very g~uardedly,
What is the sentiment toward a third term?'"
Mr.. Baker, in the name of war conditions, made that
swing around the circle, just before he sailed for France,
presumably to report on what he learned. His mission, in
other terms, on both of these junkets, wa purely political,
Dand this news had TO come to us from Texas. The same
man in this letter quotes from the Ell PasO Times, IAN old
rock ribbed, democratic paper" language that would make
even Harvey's Weekly pale in comparison.
Still another man said that it used to cost $23 to ship a
carload of cattle from Marathon to FL Paso, now it costs $42,
and while it used to take one day, it now takes two and that
is about the way that everything that has been nationalized
is being done.

USEFULNESS OF ALLIED PEACE MISSION
KILLED BY SUSPICION OF UKRAINIANS

Another lie is that we are using
German money to fight the Poles.
The truth is that most of our mon
ey comes from east Ukrain. The
remainder we furnish ourselves or
it is obtained from the oil refin-
cry which formerly vas the prop
erty of the Austrian government.
The capital of the oil country ia
partly Jewish and German, but
mainly French and English.
"Mose of our difficulties arise
from the fact that 1t is unknown
abroad that the Ukrainian people
number nearly 100000 allied
by ''lood though separated by
huh -reds of years of Austrian and
Russian domination. Other ma
lions do not know that we are
prepared to perish IL we must in
order to assert our nationality.
1t is true that we have no nobility
or wealthy classes, but we are
purely democratic. 1t is true that
we are largely small farmers with
out a high degree of cultivation,
but we will obtain that culture II
we are permitted to help ourselves.
"All W. ask for is our rights
and these we will have now or, IL
Europe will not permit it, then It
bust be later , but at the expense
Of our blood and that of others.

and they are unable to proceed to
America.
"It is my fear that IL the fight
ing continues here 1t will all wind
up with another Balkan situation
such as that which has harrassed
Europe and the peoples OF the
Balkans for many years and has
kept these peoples poor. We re-
gret to say that in our opinion the
French fear of the Germans and
the consequent willingness to help
the Poles is the cause of the in
ability to adjust the Lemburg oil
fields dispute.
I'VE were asked to abandon
our military lines and retreat
about 80 miles until we we're
clear outside of Lemburg. Even
had we been willing to grant this,
our soldiers would not have per-
mitted 1t. The truth is that the
Ukrainian population extends as
far as Petrograd, but we asked
only for Lemburg. 1t is true
there are Poles in Lemburg, but
all the country around is Ukrain-
ian.
MANY lies have been told
about us. One of them is that we
are Bolshevist. This Is not true.
We are now fighting the Bolshe-
Wiki and will continue to do so.

WOMEN OF ENGLAND TO

WAKEFIELD, Eng, April &c.
The women's section of the la

resolution declaring that no gov

would be acceptable to the women
unless it recognized the need OF
tightening the hours of work for
women in their homes. DR.. Mar

eminent should insist that the
hours of wage should be
rearranged to conform to normal
family life. She demanded the
abolition of night work except for
