 In making recommendations for potato storage, J. R. Cooper, horticul- turist, says: ITO secure proper re- suits the potatoes should be allowed to lie in the sun for few hours be- fore being stored The potatoes should then be graded and placed in wooden crates or hampers. They can be stored in these hampers or on the slater floors of the bins. In any case they should be handled as little as possible. The house should be opened wide while filling, the fire built, and the temperature gradually raised to S5 or 90 degrees and kept there from ten days to two weeks. At the end of this period the temperature may be gradually allowed to fall to 55 or 60 degrees, aud then be kept as even as possible.

Old South American
 Church Has Birthday

Rio De Janeiro, Nov. 4.-Christ church of this city which soon will celebrate it's centenary is said to have been the first protestant church to be built in South America. It was erect ed to provide a place of worship for the English community here. Two restrictions were placed on the church, the exterior was to resemble a dwelling house and not temple, and no bells were allowed. Out of this concession grew the religious I- berty which exists now in Brazil.
 Today there are two Anglican di- oceses ad 40 churches in So. Amer ica. One diocese includes Argentina and Brazil, with a bishopric in Bue- nos Aires; the other includes the Fall kland Islands and the west coast countries. In addition to the Angli- can churches, there are many other protestant churches scattered throughout South America.

Interesting Program
 At United Church

There are few more thrilling or dramatic episodes than David's final victory over the Phi1istines. This vic tory was essential if the liberties gained through years of conflict were to be conserved. His success depend ed upon the nations ability to dis cern the hour of opportunity and its willingness to mobilize its full power. Civilization today has series of great conflicts on It's hands. The only thing that can end them Is the power of religion. Roger Babson tells us the only great organization that has the machinery and opportunity to de- velop the power of religion is asleep. Tomorrow morning at the United Church service, Dr. Day, the pastor, will describe one of the most thrill ing hours of Christian activity since the Day of Pentecost, his subject be- ing, "The Sound of Marching As the Hebrew soldiers, hidden in a beautiful valley in the mountains, listened for the rustic of the null berry leaves that was like an army on the march, as a signal for their sudden attack upon the foe, the sol dier of the Cross ought to listen for like assurances that the hour of mag nificent opportunity had struck. From the first day of December to Easter Sunday, April 4th, Christians all over America will be moving forward unit edly and joyfully to assuage the sor- row and woe of the whole world.
 God Is Our Refuge by Buck will be the morning anthem and "Sing a Song of Praise" by Harris wall be the offertory.
