METHODIST "PAY- UP" WEEK

The Conference Lay Leacer, tho
Presiding Elders, and the Conference
Missionary Secretary representing
the Holston Conference, and DIR. VIM.
B. Kicks, General Secretary of cen
tenary collections met in an all-day
conference ut Church ST., Knoxville,
on Nov. 4. The Conference was
known as the "Set-Up Conference"
for Centenary Collections.
The Conference was praycrful,
earnest and business to the core, yet
pervaded by fine optimistic Christ
ian spirit. Every phrase of the work
was gone into q fearless capable
way.
That the Centenary is "Makine
Good" was the conviction of this
Conference as witness: Its program
of evangelism; its commendable pro.
vision for. the uplift of the "Black
City. Mountain, Indian and Mexican
mission work. as well as its pro-
gramme for the foreigner" in oui
midst-added to the immense relief
1T has brought to the small salariet
preacher throughout our connection
especially, is the helpfulness of this

new day of hope to our missions il

The attitude of the Presiding Ed.

forcefully reflected in the resolution

The Pastor, the real here as well

hodism, is most heartily with the
Conference in this movement ms tho

1t is suggested that pastors and
laymcn make short talks in all the
churches on Sunday, Dec. s, or bet

three minute addresses and that tho

This plan is being enthusiastically
received by presiding elders and pas

flying results. | am sure that "Old

near the top in reported Centenary
collections, and now rapidly recover

top where she belongs.
The people enthusiastically pledg-

THE TIME FOR COOPERATION
is HERE.

1t has often been said that farm
ers will not cooperate effectively un-
til cooperation becomes necessity
1t begins to look as if that time is
about here. This years cotton, to-
bacco and peanut crops have been
made at unusually high costs. They
are about to sell at price which
will certainly not afford the farmer
a reasonable profit. Single-handed
the farmer can do nothing toward
overcoming the forces that are now
opposing him. By proper cooperation
with his brother farmers he can ac-
complish a great deal.
We believe there should be q meet
ing of the farmers of every COM
munity to discuss the situation and
decide Just what the farmers of that
community themselves should and
can do about it. If you have local
farmers organization of any kind, let
it call such a general meeting of the
farmers. If there is no local organ
ization, few individual farmers
should take the lead and call meet
ing on their own responsibility.
Somebody must lead. Why not you?
MOREOVER, whenever county
meeting or local meeting of farm
ers is called let US urge you to at
tend. Don't say, ooh, they wont do
anything but talk" In great many
cases lot of talking must precede
action. People talked for years and
years, and even for generations, be-
fore they got the emancipation of
the slaves. The same thing is true
with regard to prohibition, and again
with regard to woman's suffrage.
If talk is only sincere, it does
good. Keep in mind that fine saying
of Emerson's, "The ancestor of ev-
cry action is thought" Let a man do
some real thinking and, sooner or
later, his thought will beget action
During the last few years we have
heard a great deal about the Cali
fornia plan of marketing. The. Cali.
fornia plan is: -
(D To organize strongly for the
business of marketing.
(2) To get large percent of the
growers of any one poduct to sign a
legally binding agreement to market
| all that they produce through tn,
marketing association. t4
(3) To have such agreements rur
through a period of three to sever
years.
(4) To pay salaries high enough
to get the best business talent IL
America as marketing agents. (Tht
California exchanges pay as much a.
$50 900 per year for the right man
(5) To pay each producer, during
the continuance of :. his contract
pool" salaries of the product. Tha
is to say. the farmers product i.
graded and turned over to the asso
citation. The association manager;
sell it when they think best. Wher
the farmer gets for each grade O.
any product he marketed the aver
age price of that grade during tn,
season. In other words, the farmer
have organized and employed tn
ablest possible marketing man to sci
for them-simply take his juigmen
as to when sales should be made an,
they accept tkn average pri6p he
gets.

THE MAINE AVALANCHE.
New York Sun and Herald)

New York Sun and Herald)
In all the history of American poll
tics there is little that is so variously
impressive as the answer from Maine
which thus links with the very begin
nings of wisconsin the beginning of
its end. The mere numerical result
is so phenomenal as to tax the vocab-
ulary of election comment for the
right descriptive words. 1t is more
than an indication of the trend of
public sentiment regarding the Wilson
league of nations lit is a downturning
of the thumbs that decree death to
that contrivance of delusion, vanity
and ambition. 1t is more than land
slide; it is an avalanche. The great
and solemn referendum demanded by
the democratic and internationalist
president of the United States has be-
gun to yield returns.

GEM MARKET IN LONDON
CONDUCTED ON STREET
SHABBY LOOKING MEN CARRY
GREAT WEALTH-EXPER
IN DIAMONDS.

Go into Hatton Garden any time
between 10 and 4. except SATURDAYS
and Sundays, and you will meet men
carrying in the aggregate anything
from half million to million
pounds worth of diamonds.
These men are dealers in diamonds
and their market is provided by the
doorways and pavements of Hatton
Garden and another thoroughfare.
Charles street, which runs at right
angles to it and parallel with Hol-
born. London
Looking at many of the men you
would not be inclined to think they
were worth a dime. Nearly all are
russians. Many have long, shaggy
boards and longer and shabby over
coats. Yet in honesty they must con-
tribute to the income tax. They buy
and sell parcels of diamonds. loose

How Business Conducted.
Business is conducted on simple
lines. One man approaches another. |
They stand on the curb or in a door |
way and a parcel of gems is exchang- /
ed for a roll of bank notes That is
all No questions, no entries, no
books. A parcel may change hands |
three or four times a day. with a big /
profit on each transaction.
Dealers in the Garden" as they
call it, trust one another implicitly in
1t would be useless for one
to ask another for the loan of $50.
That is not business. But ask for a
parcel of $4,000 worth of diamonds
'or a probable customer, and it is
handed over readily enough.

FINDING MORE RADIUM
NEW USES FOR METAL
SUPPLY LIKELY TO INCREASE
\ AS NEW SOURCES ARE
DEVELOPED.

Undertaking to correct what he
thinks might be a wrong impression
regarding the supply of radium. Ar
thur Roeder, of New York, has this to
say in a recent issue of the New York
sun and Herald:
THE visible supply of radium is in
creasing and there is no imminent
danger of a radium famine. Before
the war the world was dependent al
most entirely on Europe for its sup
ply of radium. Today however, the
extensive deposits of radium bearing
carnotite in the Paradox valley of
Colorado and in the adjoining dis
tricts of Utah are being mined.
4, ALREADY more radium has been
taken out of the carnotite district
than the most competent authority
predicted would be found there. The
difficulties of the processes of extrac-
ton and the costly equipment neces-
sary are more a limit to production
than the ore supply. And yet de-
spite these facts the price has re-
manned stationary.
New Discoveries.
"Radium deposits have also been
discovered in the Argentine Republic.
in England, in Canada, in Portugal,
in Cuba and in Russia And as our
knowledge of this element increases
there is no reason to doubt that the |
aavilable sources of supply will be in
creased correspondingly and that |
there will come the development of /
radium extraction from ores other
than carnotite.
"The radium supply of the world is
so promising that its use is warrant
ed not only in therapy but also in the
preparation of undark luminous ma
terial utilized for commercial pur-
poses. such as watch dials clocks,
flashlights and a wide variety of 9TH
er things.
Radium in War;
There is another point to be !
brought up, and that is the use of ra-
dunn industrially has been a great
factor in saving life, as the use of
radium medically has been important
in this way. Radium used during the ,
late war for gun sights, for airplane
dials and for other instruments of
warfare made it possible for our ar
mics to work "a hours a day instead
Of during daylight only In this way !
it helped in the saving of lives. as it !.
did also in making certain operations
more accurate.
But not only in war does radium
save lives; in its peace time uses as
well radium is helpful in preventing
accidents and dangers incidental to
Industrial processes For Instance,
ships instruments with radium mark
ngs are accurate whether the light Il
ng systems function or not; boiler Il
lials are visible whether are acct
Tents or not"
