MINISTER LIKES
 OLD METHODS OF TRANSPORTATION
Rev. Perkins Favors Horse and Carriage Instead of
 Automobile.

The automobile had its uses and the motorcycle may be all right in its way. but as for Rev. Isaac Parkin, veteran Episcopal Missionary in Le- high, Oklahoma, give him the one hoss shay.
 Rev. Isaac has been a laborer in the mission field of Oklahoma since the days when the Indians ran wild over the territory. He is a plain old fashioned man of God, preaching a plain old-fashioned religion that familiar, personal, man-to-man re- hgion, which you intersperse with talk about crops and the outlook for hogs, in friendly chats across a rail fence, the essence of the religion in fact, comprehended in Every Name Campaign which the Episcopal Church in the Diocese Of New York has inaugurated as it's contribution to the Nationwide Campaign of the Church. and which has brought Rev. Isaac Parkin's old-fashioned prefer ence into notice.
 From all over the country. the Nationwide Campaign headquarters has been receiving requests from workers in the field for motor cars or at least motor cycles to enable them to cover the magnifcient dis tances in the parishes of the South and the Far West. Tucked in among these requests the other day came d plaint from MT. Parkin. Heretofore he has gone among his flock out around Lehigh, Oklahoma, on the back of an old and faithful nag Then some radical Oklahoma with effete Eastern ideas acquired an automobile. ana having no further use for his ''buggy" he presented it to Parson Parkin. And that presented a problem to the rector which he af once put up to the Nationwide Campaign
 ''I now have a buggy to go with my horse" he explained, but there Is no harness with which to hitch the horse to the buggy. As automobiles are getting to be so much in vogue. l thougNt some one might have set of harness he wasn't using: also a fly net for down here in this hot region my horse is considerably bothered by the flies.
 As a result of the appeal a set of harness has now been obtained and is on it's way to Lehigh.

LONG DISTANCE SHOPPING NOW
 BRITISH VOGUE:

London, Sept 2O.-CCorrespond- ence of The Associated Press) High railway fares and the increased eX- pendiaIre occasioned by the terTnin- ltion of the war has brought out the professional shopper who is finding that her circle of clients is rapidly widening.
 Ono woman who knows the art of dress has recently taken up the work with marked success. ''I have be- come a professional shopper" she said, "and the women in the prov inces are beginning to find me use fuI. I work for a great many wo- men who live a long distance from London. some of them in the far northern counties
 These women. knowing the smart est and best things can only be found in London, and by one who knows London well, prefer to employ me to do their shopping than to make use of a catalo-ue. I dress entire fami- lies. Sometimes people come to me when they are in London. At other tunes they write leaving the selec- ton of their dresses entirely in my hands and I send them just what l know will suit them. Of course I charge a commission, but it is infinite Iy smaller than the railway fare and the money wasted in going to the wrong shop and buying the wrong materials"

PORK VERSUS GASOLINE AS
 CHEAP FUEL

During the latter part of last July. farmer living near Hatfield, Minn., started out with a drove of hogs ranging from 400 to 500 pounds each, driving them to market Twelve of the fattesc and best animals died on the road, overcome by heat and ex- ercisc.
 Hogs that day were bringing $22 per hundred: if each weighed 100 pounds they were worth SSS apiece, and he lost twelve of thew-a total of s1,G5G.
 And not only that, but the exercise and heat of a long walk that killed twelve would easily take five pounds or more from every hog that did reach the market Twenty hogs at this rate, made an additional loss of S22.
 4 truck of 1 1-2 tons capacity equipped with body suitable for the varied usaEes of a truck on the farm, would cost about $2,5TO. not count ing war tax and freight rharEes, and yet this unfortunate farmer lost near ly oue-half Of the cost of such a truck Two such losses, and they will occur again and again, whenever a farmer persists in watkins fat hogs 10 market, would practically pay for the truck-wOuld pay for it, when the saving in the farmers time is coutIerrd, and his comfort as well
 Going back to the first idea of Easo- line versus pork as fuel, l-Z ton truck would take at least s hogs 10 market. A drove Of 32 hogs would require four trips. These trips, five miles one way. would mean a total of forty miles travelled by the truck q easily be done in a day with time to spare. The gasoline for the days marketing would cost about two dol lars. for the truck would not have consumed over seven gaIlons-prob- ably only six Much different than s1.O5G-thc cost of the days market ing with pork as fuel
 Even considering the entire cost ot marketing the hogs by truck, includ- ing all itcms. it would have been ap- proximateIy SIP. allowing five dollars for labor. This. too, is much more reasonable than the Sl.O56.
 Probably you will say this big loss Is unusual-weIl, suppose no hogs had died. the hogs would have lost aD- proximately pounds each on the trip. Thirty-two hoEs would have meant a total loss Of at least 150 Dounds,-S33 worth of pork. This in itself, is tweuty-oue dollars more than the cost by truck.
 The farmer is awakening to tho fact that driving live stock to market does not pay. even shipping by rail- road is done at loss although this method is sometimes necessary. But there arc some who must have a check lfI-o this instance when twelve fine pOrkors arc lost to bring to them the realization that it does not pay to market with pork or beef as fueI-gasoIiue when propeuing q motor truck is tho economical way.

RETAILERS SAY CLOTHING COST
 IS AN AFFRONT

The National Association of Retail Clothiers, at their annual convention just held at Chicago, has voted that the present high cost of clothes is an economic affront to the American public" The retail dealers deny that they are responsible for these prices. They are going to have d committee appointed to investigate the reasons for these high costs.
 The clothing manufacturers will say that they have had to pay double prices for wool and cotton and double wages 10 their help. so that neces- Sariiy their prices have doubled. This statement may be correct, but it will bear careful examination.
 There is a tendency in a time of Hush and free circulation of money. for producers to think they can tack on extra prices without anyone mo- tcing it. In so far as manufacturers and wholesalers may have done this. they will find themselves in bad with the public.
 One great cause of high clothing prices is the insistence of the public o0 having constant changes of style. li retail dealer has got to mark down the price of an article 33 per cent. merely because it is slightly out of style, he has got to add a large sum to the original prices of his goods in order to cover losses due to changes in styles. When the pub- lie stops demanding the latest friIls and fads in style, then clothing will be much cheaper

LUTHERANS TO
 ENGAGE IN
 RELIEF WORK

A special called meeting of the executive committee of the National Lutheran Council held in New York, completed an organization for inn mediate relief work among the Lu- therans of Finland, Esthonia, Poland and other Eastern European coun- tries.
 Dr. J. A. Moorhead, chairman of the European Commission has just completed a personal survey of the situation in Poland. He has cabled that unless immediate and substan- tial help is given thousands will die during the coming winter.
 Rev. c. Fandrey. a member of the European Commission, has reported on the reign of terror in Finland and Esthonia A great number of Lu- theran pastors have been killed. Some were buried alive, others were shot
 It was decided to start a national campaign for money and clothing. It is estimated that two to three mill lion pieces of clothing will be need ed.
 Relief organizations charged with gathering and shipping the clothing to New York, are planned for each conEregation within the National Lutheran Council
 There will be Q relief unit in each one of the 10000 Lutheran congre- gatious affiliated with the National Lutheran Council.
 It is planned to make every effort to get the relief across before winter. The reports indicate that there will be severe suffering unless that is done. Hosts of people are without house and home. poorly clad. with no opportunity to provide against the coming winter

 CD.-To bring about increased eff hciency in the design of aeroplanes especially fitted for the transporta- ton of passengers, mail and ex- press.
 C5).-To foster the practice of fly ing by chart and compass and navi- cating the air entirely by the use of instruments.
 C6).-The aeroplanes entered to be equipped with self-starters and muf- flers. which will afford an extensive test and bring about maximum i'm provement in these very important devices.
