By HOPE HATHAWAY

It is not the part of wisdom to indulge in an hour over the teacups with Mrs. W. P. McAdory and Mrs. B. A. Inglis, unless one wishes to become immersed in a zeaIeof missions and the seventy five-million- dollar Baptist campaign.
 The enthusiasm and interest of both these charming women as Mrs. Inglis told of the work of the Birmingham Baptist association and Woman's Mis- sionary union were contagious
 '4This enthusiasm is one of the many reasons that makes us glad Mrs. Inglis belongs to us.' confided Mrs. McAdory. She IS one of those upon whom honors are thrust, for we elected her superin- tendent of our Birmingham association while she was out of the city. In the short time since this happened she has done worlds of work and visited so many of the societies she is really in touch with every phase of our wpman's work. :"
 "But I wanted to visit them" chimed in Mrs. Inglis. q have found responsive women, too,. in every one of the 48 organ izations that compose our association. We hope next year we'll be able to say every one of the 76 societies, because our goal is to organize societies in all our churches.
 The great interest now is concentrated on the big campaign, and the women of our association have pledged s10o000 as their share of the S75,0o0000. The wom- len's work, necessarily, will be largely ed- ucational. and to anouse public sentiment. During our enlistment month of October. our local w. M.

As chairman of our four-minute speakers, Mrs. s. D. Johnston is filling the ranks of those who will cooperate with the various churches in this.'
 Wasn't it splendid that our general secretary, Miss Kathleen Mallory could hand over our w. NJ. U. forces. organized and mobilzed, just ready to cooperate in this work?" Mrs McAdory inquired.
 ''Inded am glad of that" Mrs. Inglis responded. "We are ready now with a solidly unified front, and find the work especially we'll organized in our associa- tion. Much of this, Miss Hope, is due to Mrs McAdory before she gave up the office have, to accept that of vice pres ident of the northern w. M. U. of Ala bama.

 Such autocracy among democratic Baptists," was the unini8iated comment. that board should decide this for all the other interested womenv
 But it doesn't,'' triumphed Mrs. Ing lis. "The question is already before the societies, and the board is composed of the presidents of these societies. to- gether with the officers of the board which means a representative in every department of our work.
 "The board this year is especially in terested in mission study, and instead of having a separate year book, our study for 1919-20 will be incorporated in. the minutes of the association. Don't you like the idea, Mrs McAdory, of having uniform study, the same book, for all Societies?"
 "A good plan." was Mrs. McAdory's opinion, "because there is such helpful ness in exchange of thoughts in the same study. The Crusade of Compassion for the Healing of the> Nations is our book for the year. and the Baptist women adopted it in cooperation with the i'm ternational study course"
 We also have devotional study with Mrs. N A. Barrett as our superintend- ent,' Mrs. Inglis reminded
 "Another special interest of our as- sociation is our mission training school at Louisville. The students of this school right to attend our Baptist seminary. At Louisville is given the educational preparation of our missionaries.

KENTUCKY CROP ESTIMATE.

Kentucky farmers this fall in
creased their acreage of wheat more
than one hundred thousand acres
over that sown in 1917, and it has
gone into the winter in remarkably
excellent condition, SO per cent. COM
pared to a ten-year average condi-
ton of SO per cent. The total sown
in the State is estimated at 1,056,720
acres this fall compared to $4,000
acres in the fall of 1917.
The unusually mild fall weather
was specially favorable for sowing
and for good growth and many farm
ers increased their acreage even be-
yond their first intentions. The
campaign for increased acreage of
wheat and the Governments guaran-
teed price were also strong factors in
increasing the acreage.
In counties where little or no
wheat is usually raised the increase
this year was in many instances sew
eral hundred per cent, while in the
heavy wheat producing sections Of
Western Kentucky and the Blue
Grass counties the increase renged
from to Is per cent, making an
average State increase of about IL
per cent. over the acreage sown in
1917.
The United States winter wheat
acreage this fall is 49,027,0O0, COM
pared to 42,301,0G acres sown last
year, an increase of nearly 16 per
cent, while the condition in the
country as a whole is 98.5 per cent
compared to a ten-year average con-
dition of 1872 per cent.
Rye acreage in Kentucky this year
is approximately the same as that
sown in the fall of 1917, $4,000

GERMAN AIRPLANE CONSTRUC.
TON.

The French press is pointing out
the serious danger of allowing the
Gerpnans absolute freedom in the
construction of airplanes for CONNER
cial purposes. 1t is claimed that
within few years Germany could
build twenty or thirty thousand such
planes and that il would require but
few days to transform them into
bombing planes capable of carrying
cargoes of explosives sufficient to
destroy Paris or London within a
few hours or to do inestimable dam
age throughout France or England
in a single night.
1t is reported that already there is
widespread and almost feverish &C
tivity in German aircraft industries,
and that extensive plans have been
formulated for the covering of all
Germany-and indeed the continent
of Europe and many other parts of
the world-with a network of Ger
man aerial transportation lines; and
it may we'll be that the apparent
HlCChhOoO Oh thC pdiL VI 1Cl lid<ly III
surrendering her fleet of warships
was due to the fact that the leaders
of that country have lost faith in the
value of marine war vessels and have
decided to concentrate their efforts
for future commercial and military
supremacy upon the speedy creation
of huge fleet of flyers which might
we'll make them masters not only of
the air but of land and sea as well.
Whatever Germany's real object
may be, it is evident that the warn
ing from the French people is very
timely and that measures should be
taken Immediately by the allied gov
ernments which will perpetually pre-
vent Germany from manufacturing
aircraft Of any kind which can pos
sibly menace the peace of the world.
1t would seem that this end might
well be accomplished by providing,
in the peace terms, that the allies
shall perpetually control all German
metal production and importation.
This would not only permit the limi-
tation Of aircraft construction but it
would also compel Germany forever
to follow only peaceful pursuits, for
no nation can successfully make war
without an ample supply of the
metals.
