Federal Reserve Board Looks to

Of the Coming, Victory

The United States Congress has ap.
propriated $1,OOO,OOO,OOO to guarantee
the American farmer $226 bushel for
his 1919 wheat crop, price which is
81 a bushel more than he might
reasonably expect if American wheat
was thrown on the market to com
pete with Argentine, Australian and
Indian wheat. The American farmer
has responded to the governments
guarantee by pledging the production
of millions of bushels more wheat than
he has ever grown before, according
to officials of the United States Food
Administrations Grain Corporation.
The American farmer has never been
in better financial condition, the Off
cials say. The report of the Federal
Reserve Board shows that the 1918
farm crop added $4,000, 100000 to the
wealth of the country. The corn crop
alone put $685. $4,000 in the farm

This is message received a few
days ago from Bishop Theodore K.
Henderson.
With this message from Paris,
Bishop Henderson, who is the head of
the Detroit Area of the Methodist
Episcopal church, has issued the
clarion call to the churches of this
state to rally around the Methodist
Missionary Centenary. Bishop Hender-
son issued this call to his people after
he had spent weeks visiting the battle
fields of Belgium, France, and Italy
and had made thorough survey of
the devastated districts.
1t is for the work of reconstruction

that $20,O00,000, of the $120,000, 900 to
be raised during the nationwide finan-
cial drive, to be made the first week
of May, will be used.
This Centenary Movement Of the
Methodist Church is gripping the en-
tire country. According to the leaders
of the church it is a campaign, not for
money, but for the promotion of world
democracy, eternal peace and Chris
tian fellowship. The money to be
raised will be used for these purposes,
but the raising of it does not seem to
bother the church officials.
They assert that when the campaign

LET US DO OUR SHARE
Put tho Finishing Touches to the Ger.
man Dream of World Conquest--lt
Takes Money to Hold the OBJ
sequies of kaiserism.

Here Is a good answer for the fell
low who says: 81 bought the bonds %
the previous loans, but why should I
save and buy more?"
The answer is concerned with sick
ness and death. Fortunately, the dis
ease Is the German dream of world
conquest, and the funeral IS that of
the kaisers ambitions.
Now, in the average American home,
where sickness and death befall, the
head of the family first pays for ply
sicians, medicines and nurses. But
when he has gone thus far he does
not stop. He cannot. He must 60 on
and call in the undertaken. He must
finish the sad business.
And so it is in the family Of nations.
We have been stricken with war-and
now we must pay for it. Happily, the
corpse, as has been said is the Ger
man ambition. The United States and
our allies must pay for the funeral.
The first, second and third Liberty
loans brought together and trained the
army of physicians and nurses that
was to combat the disease. The fourth
loan transported them to the house of
sickness and carried them through to
the deathbed of Prussian autocracy.
But we still have to pay the last bills
Of imperialism's passing, and the lay

The man who says: 81 bought the

"No man who has recovered

to enable him to recover that lost

Church is organized. To my think

at the center not only Of philan-
thropy but as the center Of educa-
ton, at the center Of science, at
the center of philosophy, at the
center of politics; in short, at the
center Of sentiment and thinking
life. And the business Of the
Christian Church, Of the Christian
minister, is to show the spiritual
relations of men to the great
world processes, whether they be

WOODROW WILSON.

This is President Wilson's idea
of the duty Of the church to-
ward mankind. 1t is through
the efforts of leading lay;nen Of the
Methodist church, who believe exactly
as the President does, that the great
Methodist Missionary Centenary,
which will close with a gigantic finan-
cial drive for $120,000,O00 the first
week in May, was inaugerated.
Dr. s. Earl Taylor, laymen who is
at the head of the entire movement,
has declared for years that the church
must become the center OF sentiment
and thinking life; must become dis
penser Of practical religion; in fact,
must re-establish the spiritual king
dom among men before the world will
become safe for democracy and before
peace on earth, good will towards
men" will reign.
That is the idea which 100000 min
ute men are spreading throughout the
United States daily. That IL the idea
which thousands Of Methodist minis
ters are proclaiming from a. many
pulpits. This great army OF Centenary
workers has put its shoulders to the
wheel of an awakened church which
Is taking up the fight where the boys
In khaki left on. President Wilson
has been leading these boys. and has
now called for q new army OF volun-

 Record has been made of what I stand for" Mr.. Burleson declared. smashing his fist into his open palm. land 1t is not going to be- changed"
 Chief among his critics MT. Burle- son listed the express companies, which he said were anEered by his development of the parcel post; the railroads. opposed to changing the basis of mail pay from weight to space; owners of pneumatic tube sys- tems, which he declared had been nothing short of graft" newspapers and magazines, which had been forced to pay higher second-clsss rates. and the American Federation of Labor, offended by his stand against public employees affiliating with an orBsni- ration using the strike to enforce de. mands. He declared he had been confronted with powerful opposition e1erted through congress by these interests.
 MT. Burleson particularly defended his enforcement of the espionage act. which he said earned him the epithets of the disloyal because he excluded seditionist newspapers from the maIs.
 Turning to current political ques. tions. the postmaster general declared the welfare of the country waited on ratification of the peace treaty by congress and the passage of import ant legislation urged by President Wilson many months ago.

GOAL STRIKE
 ORDERED ON
 NOVEMBER 1

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 15.-Aft- CT approving and sending on it's way to the four thousand local unions in the country the official order calling on all union bituminous coal miners in the United States to cease coal pro- duction at midnight October S1, John L. Lewis, acting president Of the United Mine Workers of America, left here late today for Washington to at tend a conference, called by Secretary Wilson, with Thomas T. Brewster, president of the Coal Operators asso- citation. MT. Lewis will arrive in Washington late tomorrow.
 Before leaving the city, MT. Lewis declared that the only thing that could prevent a strike of the miners on November would be the reaching of an agreement between the miners and operators representative before that date. Even If that should result from the Washington conference. he said. the agreement would not be binding until it had been acted upon by the miners at a re-convened convention. The signing of an agreement by the representatives of the operators and miners before November 1, 1t was said, however. would mean the coun- termanding of the strike order issued today, at least until the convention acted upon the contract. %.
 The miners head would make no predictions as to the result of the, con- ference in Washington. Tn the mean. time, he said, preparations for the strike would be continued.
 The strike order warns the mine workers that there must be no suspen. sion or stoppage of coal production before the time fixed in the order and declared that orderly procedure must be followed throughout.

FORCE MUST !, BE AB!AN9!0|NEO ]. BY NNNIGRANT
Aa ts !. : "

EASTON. Pa, Oct 15.-Law and or der must be preserved in America and immigrants coming here must realize that when they reach these shores, the time for the use of force Is behind them, Attorney General Palmer de- clared tonight in an address at Found ers' day exercises at Lafayette college.
 "The mistake which seems to have been made by many who have come here recently from other parts of the world" said MT. Palmer, ,is this: They affect to believe that the general movement for better conditions of life in other parts of the world must have it's counterpart in this newer world. They refuse to see the stupendous ad- vance which has been made in that movement here during the last centu- " by men of large minds and broader visions who preceded them in this land for the very purpose.
 'It Is difficult for us to give credit for sincerity to many of the ultra radical class-war agitators. who seek the short and rough road built by Force when they have at hand the smoother, though possibly longer. route. It Is perfectly clear that some of them arc honestly mistaken; it is equally clear that many of them are mere selfseekers who would exploit some of their minimizing fellows for their own benefit The ingenuity of man has made the Atlantic ocean a mere ditch between the continents New inventions will make it narrower still. But it must always be wide enough to permit,the immigrant, as he crosses 1t, to rid himself for all time Of all the misconceptions of govern. ment with which the old conditions filed his mind"
