4s1 Farms Out of 5000, 600.

1t may be the fact, as announced
| by the department of agriculture,
that the wheat crop of last year was
produced at an average cost to the
growers of $2.15 a bushel, which is
three times the average farm price
of wheat for many years prior to the
world war and which would leave
little or no profit to the grower at the
Governments guaranteed price of
$2.26 a bushel.
But survey extending to only "A
districts of the country and to only
48l out of its total of 100000 and
more farms is little too limited to
be popularity impressive in demon
stration of this officially proclaimed
fact. 1t leaves to be explained why
farmland values have risen so great
ly in the meantime, and why so many
farmers have been selling their farms
at high figures and retiring wItn Z
CONF etence to the cities, ana why the
automobile industry could flourish so
nightly on a demand whose rural
growth is more notable than any
other, and why costs of wheat-grow-
ing should have increased so greatly
out of proportion to all known in
creases in the wages and costs of in
dustry in general.
A survey to prove what is claimed
to be proved in this case must extend
beyond tiny fraction of l per cent
of all the farms of the limited States
New York World.

Fee System Abolished.

Big fees collected in the past by
county officials come to an end with
the expiration of terms of present
officers, according to provisions of
act of the legislature of 1917, says
the Fort Myers Tropical Sun.
In other words--instead of secnr-
ing all the fees, as in the past, coun-
ty officers, whose terms begin Jan
uary l, 1921, will receive compensa-
ton on a graduated basis, fixed by
the net income of the office.
Under the new law the official will
get all of the first $500; so per
per cent of the next $1,000, or any
fraction thereof, 40 per cent of the
next $4,000, or fraction thereof; 20
per cent of the next $4,000, or frac-
ton thereof and ten per cent of the
rest and residue.
The number of compensationS CT
clerks and deputies will be fixed by
county board
The act covering this matter is as
follows:

The Cynical Actress.

The late Oscar Hammerstein be-
lieved that the actresses should lead
pure life.
"Cynical. disillusioned actresses are
no good" he once said at a dinner.
81 remember an actress of mine some
years ago who fell down badly in a
part I'd given her.

after she fell down, all the critics say
you don't show half enough emotion
in the scene where your husband
leaves you never to return

gave a tart laugh.
"'Oh, don't, don't II she sneered.
We'll, look here. Mr.. Hammerstein,

to return, and I guess I know how
much emotion ought to be shown in
such circumstances as well as any

Two Idols, Recently Unearthed, Bring

Lost to Memory.

OF the two old Hawaiian idols lately
found concealed in. the earth at Hook

In a fairly good state of preservation.
The idol is supposed to be that of XII
hawahine, the Undne of Maui myths.
Her haunts are the springs at Pauku-

less pools in the wooded glens
around Pilholo. Makawao.
The legends about her compare with
those of the German fairy folklore
and around the charms of her person
as she sits combing her wealth of
golden tresses at the edge of some
bathing pool is woven many a half
forgotten Mauri folk tale.
In some of the latest ones she Is
reputed to have lured two haoles nj

Safe Light for Miners.

Nowadays the up-to-date miner car
ries a package of electricity about
vith him while underground. 1t is
small storage battery attached to the
back of his belt, and is connected by
a cord with a lamp fastened to the
front of his cap. The lamp, provided
with reflector, throws quite d flood
of light in front of the miner. But It's
chief advantage is absolute safety. In
olden days miners (who must, of
course, have light carried about with
them open-flame lamps. These caused
innumerable disastrous accidents
through ignition of coal dust or gases.
Sir Humphrey Davy's invention of a
safety lamp whose flame was protected
by a wire gauze saved an Immense
number of lives. 1t is in common use
today, but the electric mine lamp Is
better and more convenient.

CONVENTION
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
DELEGATES
REV. H. E. MOVE. PASTOR

1t is very important that the officers and teach
ers carefully and prayerfully select their dele
gates. Be to select delegate from each
department of the school, Choose those who will
faithfully attend the sessions of the convention
and will bring back a report to the school, If you
cannot send a delegate from each department of
your school send many as you but do not
fail to have your school represented.
DELEGATES EXPENSES
The best investment any Sunday School
make is to pay the Railroad fare and registration
fee of of its delegates to the State
Convention. If delegates are willing to pay Their
railroad fare and afford to do then
the Sunday School should at least pay the regis
tration fee of every delegate.
ECHO MEETING
Plan for big evening within week after the
State Convention in your school and get
out your Sunday School membership and friends
and listen to the convention message from your
delegates Give them sufficient time to make
full report This not be done at Sunday
meeting in the Sunday School hour. Recognize
your delegates attendance and efforts by large
opportunity for their message of inspiration from
the convention. Let them know that you are
planning for this and they will bring back splen-
did report for you.
