 In view of the fact that the rail road administration has operated the five lines of the company during the past seven months at loss equal to an absorption of the value of the ships, it is questioned if the linesc an now be profitably operated under private ownership.
 Negotiations are yet pending be- tween the administration and the company that may result in an adiudi- cation satisfactory for the continued operation of the lines For more than sixty years, the company has operated the lines on basis of about 100 dol lars for every 85 dollars expended. The question of an assurance of ton mage and the fixing of rate diffcren- tials arc yet under consideration.

A fact of large importance is that ill
 cities having twenty to thirty thous-

 Department specialists emphasize that production of vegetables is back yards and on vacant city lots is not a fad, but substantial economic movement. Thousands of people have become permanent producers and are adding materially to the creative for ces of the United States. What Gardener Needs. The essentials for ;i good garden are a little land,s plenty of sunshine, a few seeds, some tools and an abund- ance of enthusiasm and work. Given these, all other difficulties can easily be overcome. At least one million families last year attempted garden ing for the first time, and the great CT part of them succeeded.
 There is always something of inter- est in the garden from the turning of the first spadeful of cath to the gath ering of the crops. There are diff culties to be overcome, but to the true home gardener few potato bugs or some weeds merely are the obstacles to be met in any striving for good things. In some cities last year prizes were offered for the best gardens, but in many instance sthe winners never claimed them, for they considered the garden and it's products their greatest prize.

 "Six months later she disappeared For some time no trace of her could be found. Then we discovered she had been sent to learn all our methods She had gone as far as committing our best hymns to memory. Today she is back imparting these methods for the glory of Buddha.
 "The Japanese now have regular Buddhist institutes fo rtraining men with ali the methods used in our American Christian training schools They have taken over our methods in every phase. The study in these ihsti- tutes our church services and Sunday school activities.
 Some 0 fthe young men in train ing come to listen to our sermons, commit them to memory and then preach the same sermons in Buddhist pulpits, only substitution Buddha for Christ whenever the word occurs
 Active In Schools.
 Another side of Buddhist competi- tion with Christianity is in the schools. A wealthy man set up splendidly equipped high school for girls in the neighborhood of one of our Methodist high schools. It was an oppositin school and, having unlimited funds, it is now graduating more pupils.
 In many ways this Buddhist school is excellent, but thought I could de- tect in the faces of the girls that it was not turning out the fine type of womanhood we were. A curious de- velopment, however,yis that this school is becoming less and less Buddhist institution every year. The Buddhist side is disappearing. Perhaps some day the school may become Christian"
