Meeting Cancelled


Wheatfield day, an annual event held
at the Ohio Experiment Station, Woos-
ter, during the last week in June for
15 years, has been recalled for 1920
because Of the partial failure of the
wheat crop.
Usually several thousand farmers
visit the Ohio Station on this day to
note differences from methods Of fer
tilizing the wheat crop and the value
of growing improved varieties. Sew
enty different varieties have been
tested.
An unusual infestation Of the He's
sian fly and the severe winter is re-
,kponsible for the partial failure Of the
fop at the Experiment Station this
year.
A cornfield day, to be held during
the early part Of September, has been
planned by Station officials. Ohio
farmers have expressed their desire
for such an event for several years.
County delegations of farmers will
be received as in former seasons at
the Station, where an opportunity will
be given to inspect other field crops
and orchards. 3

it was a heavenly messenger and in order that the Angel might keep guard over the temple, he sent the boy away loaded with presents and told him to pass the remainder of his life in the Cyclades. He then decided according to the words of the angel to dedicate the building to the Word of God" The structure was com pleted as far as the dome when the funds gave out. Ths angel then ap- peared for the third time leading the mules belonging to the treasury into 3 subterranean vault miraculously load ed with bags containing 5000 pounds weight of gold which was brought to the Emperor, who immediately recog- nized the wonderful assistance of the Angel in this unexpected supply.

 Angel Appears To Boy
 The plan of the building is said to have been communicated to the Elm peror Justinian by an angel in dream. The angel appeared later to a boy who had been left in charge or the workmen's tools during their ab- sence and directed him to summon the workmen immediately so as to hasten the completion of the building. The boy, not recognizing the heavenly visitor, refused to obey these orders whereupon the angel swore by the word of God that he would not de- part until the boy returned from his errand and that he would watch over the tools. The boy became so fright ened that he ran away and sent word of his experience to the Emperor. Justinian sent for the boy and after hearing the story was convinced that

 Over the central part is the dome, 107 feet in diameter, rising to height of 1S0 feet carried on pendentries borne by four huge arches of nearly 100 feet span. Two of these arches open into the two half domes covering the semi-circle ends of the hall; the other two are filled with clerestory

When all was finished and the building was ready for dedication the Emperor Justinian accompanied by one of the Patriarchs came into the building and walked toward the altar where they both prostrated themselves, the Emperor exclaiming "God be praised who hath esteemed me worthy to complete such work to Thy Honor and Gloryl Solomon l have surpassed thee"
 Much Of Original Beauty Now Hidden
 Many of Saint Sophia's treasures were carried away by the Turks and the visitor today sees little of the great treasure which it once contain ed. The original plan of the building has quite disappeared as many addi- tions have been made. It still stands, however, in great beauty. especially when viewed from Galata, as Constan- tinople's greatest of her many great buildings. Much of the beautiful mosaic of the walls has been covered with whitewash and extracts from l the Koran have been painted in many

 One is impressed more with the vastness of the mosque than with us grandeur, for today, the splendor has> disappeared and for a time it was hospital for Turkish soldiers. It IS it's history and its legends which make it one of the most interesting places in the world.
 Curious Relics
 Saint Sophia contains many inter esting relics. One is basin of red marble called the cradle of Jesus ln which He is said to have been washed and which was brought there from Bethlehem. There is also Sweating Column which always emits mofs- ture and is said to effect marvellous cures. Next comes the 'cold window where fresh wind ever blows, a place where the Koran was first expounded. At another point one is shown mark which resembles the bloody imprint or hand which is said to indicate the height to which Mahomet II was able to reach as he rode over the Christian corpses on the day when Constanti- nopfe fell into his hands.

Houston Calls on Banks
To Aid Thrift Campaign
Declares Promotion Of Saving
as Important Now as
Durinn the War

Secretary Houston, in statement re-
vealing the new policy OF the Treasury
regarding the government thrift cam
paign, yesterday called upon all banks
and trust companies energetically TO
handle government savings securities.
He said that the sale Of thrift, savings
stamps and Treasury savings ccrtif-
Gates is now Oh a permanent basis. and
asked the banks to give the Treasury
the same assistance that they did dur
ing the war.
"The war;" the new Secretary said
"has left US with many financial and
economic problems. Aside from the
fact that the proceeds from the sales Of
the securities will assist in serving the
cash requirements of the Treasury, the
movement is of the very essence of
fundamental economics, aifording a
tangible means Of combating high
prices, extravaganza and the ills that
follow in their train.
Economy must be the watchword OF
the government and the people in pub
lie and private finance, and we cannot
expect the return of g normal, healthy
condition unless the people produce
more, save more and spend less. That
is the doctrine Of the savings move
ment.
"The unique position which the bank
ing institutions occupy gives them a
strategic advantage of great impor-
tance. Even considerations of self-in-
terest should impel the banking in
stitutions to assume their acknowl-
edged and rightful leadership"
