 The postponement of the final settlement Is compromise which meets the demands of neither China nor Japan. Japan asked that the German rights definitely be given to her with the understanding that she return them to China under certain conditions.
 China urged that the German leases and concessions should he definitely recognized as belonging to China again, having been taken from her forcibly by Germany.

TROUBLE WITH CHURCH
MEMBERS.

REFERRING to the fact that there
is nothing the matter with churches,
but the fault is with the church mem
hers, that more people do not attend
church regularly, the Armstrong
Missouri, Herald says:-The people
don't take the interest in church aft
airs row days like they did a gener-
alton ago; and, what's the reason?
One fellow answers by saying that the
churches don't keep up with the spirit
of the times; and are not progressive.
We hav, new fcuid 2nything in he
Bible that would justify a radical
change in the mode of religious wor-
ship. We may all worship many things
besides the one and true living God,
but the Bible after all teaches US that
we should worship but the God. The
trouble with the churches is with the
church members. The members make
the church and if the church is at fault
the whole trouble is with the church
membership"

KANSAS CORN is HIT HARD.
Small Crop is Forecast by Federal
Experts Because of Drought.

TOPEKA, Aug. 21.-An ~unfavor-
able forecast for the corn crop in Kan
sas is made by the federal department
of agriculture. The following is the
report of S. D. Flora, meteorologist,
for the week ending August IL:
"C0rn continues to suffer severely.
1t is firing badly and the tassels gen
orally have burned white, except in
the few localities in the eastern third
and the extreme Western counties that
have been favored with recent local
rains. Generally, the crop is rated as
poor to fair and a very large per cen,,
especially on uplands, has been dam
aged beyond hope of recovery. In
many of the counties in the middle of
the state considerably more than half
the crop is considered a failure and no
hope is given that uplands will pro-
duce any grain worth gathering in
these localities. The western third is
faring better on account of rains that
have fallen there from time to time in
the last six weeks. Corn in that part
Of the state is in the roasting a stage
yet and generally in good condition, so
that rains falling soon would keep it
growing nicely. Just a few eastern
counties, notably Anderson, Linn, and
those along the Missouri River in the
northeast portion, have corn that has
not suffered to any extent yet on ac-
count of good rains lately"
