DR.. Guild, who is in Washington as
the representative of the commission
on interchurch federation. has estab-
lished offices at the New Ebbitt Ho-
tel. In discussing the plans which
are now well under way. DR.. Guild
said:
The idea of federation has met
with an enthusiastic response from
cIergymen and laymen with whom [
have conferred. confidently predict
such a federation will be established
in the National Capital-the only ques-
ton is when.
"A federation Of churches is differ
ent from a voluntary association of
the ministers of a city. and, although
these associations have done splendid
service, something more is needed.
This can only be accomplished by the
churches as churches.
Plan Central Body.
The general plan as adopted In
other cities calls for the organization
of a central body or council, consist
ing of the pastors and two or more
lay delegates from each church, which
will meet two or three times year.
an executive committee which wii'
meet every week, if necessary. and an
executive secretary. who will have
permanent headquarters"
TT will be his job to coordinate
the work of the churches in all
things that are for the good of the
whole community. Methodists will
not cease to be Methodists and Pres
byterians will still be Presgyterfans,
but by teamwork in which the ex-
ecutiye secretary is the captain,
they will be able to cooperate in
all matters OF social. civil and re-
ligious community service"

SCOne of Information

In the course of the year the in
formation made available through
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has to do with the market
ing of between 100000 and 1000
900 carloads of live stock and 5O0.-
900 to 100000 cars of fruits and
vegetables. The movement of cot
ton, dairy products. dressed meat,
grain, and feed is covered in the same
fashion. 1t has been
estimated that the department S mar
ket news reaches from 100000 to
100000 readers through the news
papers, while the market bulletins,
reports, reviews, and special articles
go to tens of thousands of growers
and dealers. Obviously, the growers
and dealers profit directly from the
market news service because of it's
completeness and fairness, but of no
less importance is the benefit to the
public at large, resulting from health

regular reports on shipments, and
also by expediting the unloading and
return of cars. Without information
on these related subjects, buyers and
sellers often would go far wrong in
their bargaining.
Prompt distribution of the infor-
nation which the Bureau of Markets
representatives secure is essential to
its value. Reports aer collected early
IN the morning and are telegraphed
from city to city so that they can be
published the same day In this way
market information for the entire
country is placed in the city dealers
hands few hours after it is collect
ed, and often shippers at remote
country points have the data the
morning following it's compilation.
The reports show not onyl actual
sales or shipments of various com.
modities, but other important items
which, to an unbiased observer, have
a bearing on the markets.
