THE BEST ANTIDOTE FOR JU-
VENILE DELINQUENCY.

Addressing the Spokane county ant
city Sunday school convention E. c
Knapp, general secretary of the In
land Empire association, said that il
IL years the enrolment in Sunday
schools of North America has grown
from 14,OOO,OOO to 20,000,00O. "Wher
the worlds convention is held il
Tokyo, JAPAN" the speaker added
"the worlds Sunday school strength
will exceed 35,O0O,OOO."
This is cheering intelligence and
it would be more cheering if it could
be said that there were 50,000,000 en-
rolment in the Sunday schools of this
country and 350,000,000 in Sunday
schools of the world. For the Sun
day school is the most powerful NOR
al and spiritual force that is exerted
upon the rising generation. Morals
and spirituality are not sufficiently
impressed upon the young mind in
are but feebly taught in the public
schools. We hear much about the
need of moral uplift, but there is
insufficient appreciation of the pow
erful influence that can be exerted
and is exerted in the Sunday schools.
We have never yet heard man
or woman say that the Sunday school
was wrong influence in his or her
life. Millions will gladly testify that
it has been a fine influence upon their
character; that the wholesome, simple
lessons impaired there in their. child
hood has abided with them through
all the trying years of adult tempta-
ton and responsibility. Wonderfully
powerful and persistent are these as
sociations of childhood. Many an err
ing man has been drawn back to the
righteous life and the higher aspira-
tons by the mystic chords of child
hood memories; of summer Sunday
mornings that vibrated with the
pleasant chimes calling him to good
associations and noble aspirations

PEA GROWING PROFITABLE.
eff / did not get one sack per acre
/ would raise peas instead of sum-
merfallowing the ground, for the
peas leave the soil in much better
condition for fall wheat than summer
fallow. The pea roots seem to keep
the ground from packing and leave it
N ideal condition for fall seeding to
wheat"
This is not the statement of the
,rist but of practical farmer, G.
?. Lyon, who got $6760 per acre from
ais peas last year, despite the fact
hat the yield was only about half of |
normal, and he is preparing to plant
35 acres this year. Mr.. Lyons state
nent is borne out by many prominent /
md successful farmers. They have
'ound, by experience, that pea grow
ng pays well here. With good
season farmers have not infrequently
made $500 per acre from field of
,eas and during the two years just
'assed, the two driest seasons this
ountry has known, they made good
rofits on peas.
Raising peas naturally means rails
lg more hogs and the increase in
ne weight of hogs is generally nearly
ct profit, after they are turned into
ne pea stubble. They pick up the
battered peas that would be wasted
nd in so doing they root up the
round, pulverizing it and placing it
fine condition for grain that fall
Several hundred thousand dollars
ave been paid to Latah county farm
RS for peas during the past two
ears and the figures may reach a
illion dollars in 1919, for farmers
nd that peas are a very profitable
'op. ~
