The Benefits of
 EpwOrth League
By o. W. Herr
(President of the Epworth League Of
 Faith.)

(President of the Epworth League o Faith.)
 The young people of Faith organiz
 ed an Epworth League about threc months ago. We have been having
 great success in our meetings. We
 are taking great interest in. this
 work, and by God helping us, we
 are striving to do our best for the good of the league and for the good of the people in this community.
 What is the benefit of an Epworth League? Some might say. Friends the way it benefited this place was by going into it with all the spirit we had, and asking God to help us i nour work, we have made sue cess. The Epworth League helps you in many ways-that is, if you take part. It will learn you to speak in public. If you are called upon to say anything in regard or for the good of the league, don't say that you can't; don't stand back and let someone else do your part and theirs too. You are not living a Christian life if you don't take part in Gods work.
 This Epworth League is a Chris tian organization. It is the same as a church of Sunday school. The les son is taken from the Bible. It is not guess work what to have for the next meeting.
 When we first organized our lea que here, we were a little awkward, for none of us knew anything about how to carry on this work. We didn't have but a few members and no visitors at all. But, as 1 said at first, by asking God to help us, our league has increased in membership, and we also have a large, crowd of visitors.
 Our league is open to anyone that wishes to join. We don't ask just certain ones to join, but we want everybody that feels like they can take par tin Gods work to join and help us.
 Every town or city that has a church should have the Epworth League. It will help build up your in Christian way. It will save some soul that has gone astray; that is travelling the wrong road to eternity, if you will get them friends, it is sad thing to think that some one in your community is on the wrong road. So, bear these little hints in mind and get to work and organize an Epworth League.

Strike Shops Sold Under Wholesale
 Prices of Meats

l Chicago, Nov. 2O.-Investigation of charges of profiteering on the part of the master butchers of Chicago,
 which were repeatedly made during the strike, which ended yesterday after duration of three weeks dis closed a peculiar situation. That the four retail shops, opened in various parts of the city by the strikers, have been selling meat at lower price than wholesale quotations was one
 of the disclosures.
 The master butchers, those who do
 mostly cash and carry business, with some delivery on a medium
 grade of meat, quoted the following
 prices:
 "Porterhouse steak per pound 2s |3-5; sirloin steak 28-32; round steak 25-3O; chuck roast 1928; lamb chops
 (loin) 29-40; stewing lamb 10-18:
 pork chops 35-40; smoked hams (slic- ed) 5O-55; lard 32-35; and veal cut lets 35-45."
 The union strikers claimed that
 they handled the grade of meat known as No. 2, and which is also
 classified as medium. The master
 butchers, however, asserted that the
 shops opened by the strikers carried the poorest grades of meat, and which they do not handle, as it would not satisfy their customers, and that
 the demand for such meats exist only in the poorest parts of the city. A government inspector also declared that the shops opened by the strikers had for sale only inferior grades.

English Leaders Are Confused by
 Action of Senate

London, Nov. 20.--Nearly all British public men are silent con- corning the United States senate's dealings with the peace treaty. The ransom for this is that they under stand Americans regard the question as an American domestic political affair, and fear that any expressions from them might give offense and American politics.
 It would be impossible to try to summarize public opinion. The first view reflected by the newspapers was that America had gone back on her agreement. Later advices from Washington. however, softened this feeling. American affairs generally, the relations between the president and congress, the rule regarding a two-thirds majority and how con- current resolution might bring peace with Germany-are puzzling to the average man.
 The point the Liberal papers are laying stress on is that if America keeps out of the league of nations, the world will be thrown back into the old whirlpool of competitive armaments. Questions much debat- ed are whether it will be possible to carry on the league without Ameri- ca: how far the American example , would influence other nations. which have not yet committed themselves. to keep out of the league, and whether the South American govern ment would follow the lead of the United States.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 2O.-Advices received here today from Puebla, Mexico, state that the bandit, Feder- ico Cordova, has offered to make Startling disclosures" in connection with the kidnapping of American Con- sul Jenkins and arrangements now are being made for Cordova's sur- render.
 It was declared the military au- thorities refused to discuss the mat ter, but from other sources it was learned, according to the advices, that negotiations for Cordova's sur render had promise of amnesty as a basis.

 Jenkins wrote to Representative Davis that he planned to return to his former home in Tennessee soon, and that if necessary he would come to Washington to push his claim flor assistance in the payment of the ransom"
 Mexico Barred Way.

 Jenkins said the payment of the $150,0O0 ransom finally was accepted on an installment plan by the bandit leader, this agreement being 'appro- we'd by MT. Hanna, secretary of the embassy at Mexico City" who, Jen- kins said, rendered most valuable assistance in obtaining his release.
 The Mexican government, Jenkins wrote, "did nothing at all to affect my release" He added that instead of receiving assistance or sympathy from the Puebla state authorities, they caused him "every possible in convenience.
