European mission, DR.. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur.
pose OF the commission:
when the call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in ,Eu-
rope there came a louder call to help
save. promote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which brave men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity of the New Tesla
ment. Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline a challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
'Of course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped Of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying OF their little
ones to hear us preach if we decline
to practice the gospel of compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the com
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But if
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists have mo-
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make COM
plete success of the Baptist rs Mil
lion Campaign. | would therefore. as
my parting word to my brothers and
sisters of the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to triumphant conclusion

Laying the tile. like digging the

Under ordinary conditions tile should
be laid and blinded or primed every
day after the ditch is made. Any de-
lay in laying may cause injury to the

not join closely with the preceding
one, it should be turned over until 1t

with pieces of tile or with cement.
After the tile are laid and inspected

Alfred Olson Of Klickitat county,
Wash. is a member OF one of the calf
clubs organized by the United States
department Of agriculture and the state
college Of Washington. With his pure
bred Jersey heifef calf, Areas Babe,
he won the state championship prize
last year: In 1917 Alfred became In
ivTestteeja L: l.: the calf club work. but a
purebred calf costs money. and he did
not have funds to buy that requisite
for membership. To enroll in a gar
den club as the first step toward en-
tering the calf club may seem unusual,
but that was what the Klickitat county
boy did, and he reached the desired
goal. The weeds in his club garden
kept him busy all summer. but he gave
It such faithful care that his vege-
tables were prize winners. He exhibit
ed a collection of them at the state
fair and took $50 worth of prizes.
Meanwhile he had been writing to
Jersey breeders for prices and descrip-
tions of calves. He decided on Jer-
seys because that was the breed his
father had. With $40 OF his garden
prize money he bought n month-old
Jersey heifer calf In October. He kept
her In the barn all winter, but in the
spring she was turned out on the
range. When brought in in September
to be made ready for exhibition pur-
poses she was larger at eleven months I
than his fathers grade calves Of fif-
teen months. At the state fair Al
fred's Jersey was awarded the state
championship prize in the boys and
girls club class and was valued at
$3.50.
