Northern France Recovering.

Production has been resumed In
about one-half the factories Of north
ern France. where the outbreak Of the
war paralyzed industry and where
battles ragged for four years. OF this
number however, about Is per cent
have been at work only month. Fig
ures examined by the correspondent of
the Associated Press, who is visiting
the war zone under special dispense
ton of the government, showed that
in this region 10000 plants employing
100000 workers were RACED by gunfire,
looted or badly disorganized.

applied to the wheat crops should pay
good profis. The results from the
Missouri soil experiment fields repre-
senting many of the important soil
types of Missouri show an average
increase of around five bushels of
wheat from the application of phos-
phatic fertilizers such as bonemeal or
acid phosphate, reports M. F. Miller
Of the University of Missouri, Col
lege of Agriculture. The application
!of 200 pounds of acid phosphate at
fall prices of fertilizers will cost
about $3.50 an acre and if the 1921
wheat price is equal to the present
price of around $3.50 bushel. the
value of the return over fertilizer
cost would be close to SO an acre.
Similar return can be expected
from steamed bonemeal, although this
material &c becoming scarce and nigh
in price SO Lhst the net return may
probably be estimated at slightly
less than that of acid phosphate IN.
der present conditions. On poor lands
the highly phosphate mixed fertil-
izers containing around two per cent
ammonia, ten or twelve per cent avail
able phosphoric acid and two per cent
potash, may be expected to bring SIM
liar returns. Such figures are encour-
aging to the men who are in the hab-
it of using fertilizer for the wheat
crop.
The high cost of wheat production
due to increased land values and to
the high cost of labor, makes it more
important that increased yields be Sc
cured. The use of fertilizers is a
very important means of increasing
production.

with the united simultaneous finan-
c1al campaign of the thirty Protestant
denominations participating in the In
terchurch World Movement but a few
weeks off, the Kansas campaign or
ganization is practically complete and
is said to be one Of the strongest ever
got together in the state
For the purposes of an intensive
drive, the state has been divided into
fourteen districts, each with a district
director working closely with the state
director G. Charles Gray, whose office
is in Topeka. County directors have
been appointed for practically every
county and the organization extends
into every community and individual
church
Each Of the participating denOmina-
tons will collect its own share of the
total state budget from its own con-
stituency and most denominations
have parallel regional and county or
CARNATIONS. In every place where
there are two or more cooperating
communions, interdenominational com
mittees will canvass those who are
not regular supporters of any partic-
ular church.
Based upon the facts revealed by
the InterchuTch surveys in addition
to UNCONVENTIONAL information, each
communion has prepared itemized &C
counts of the money it needs and the
purposes for which the money is to
be spent After the UNCONVENTIONAL
budgets were made, they were com
pared and revised in common counsel
through the agency of the Interchurch
movement, so that harmonious and
justifiable whole could be made.

''The Creation" is not so much
noted for its dramatic intensity or
technical difficulty as it is for the
sheer beauty of its tonal combina-
tons and its beautiful flowing mel
odies. 1t IS indeed a master work of
choral composition. When Professor
Malloy's magnificent chorus of SIS
voices interprets this masterpiece it
literally lifts one out of himself into
an ecstasy which suggests the exalta-
ton of the composer when he wrote
the Oratorio.

OPENING DAY OF THE HAYS

There are two notable events on

and the other the rendition of 'fThe
Creation" by a chorus of SIS voices

Henry Edward Malloy.
Many critics have declared that
Julia CIaussen, the great Swedish
Mezzo-Soprano, is clearly entitled to
a place beside the other great singers
whm Sweden has produced, notably
Jenny Lind and Christine Nilsson.
Nine. Claussen with her rich voice
and fine artistry has time and again
moved audiences precisely as did her
illustrious Scandinavian predecessors.

her: ''Mme. Claussen has a voice of

power and range. She is versatile

Bearing ''Jiggi" Strapped To
Her Shoulders, She
Transports Loads.

When an American wants to
travel, he telephones for a taXicab.
But in Korea the taxis are ''jiggis,"
baskets of wood and bamboo. The
front view of the ''jiggi" gives the
impression of a spreading fan, but
in the rear is a platform on which
the trunks or other baggage are
placed. The children are piled on
top of the boxes and the strange
moving van bobs away.
Perhaps boy only fifteen or six
teen years old will play the part
of beast of burden, but it is gener-
ally Korean woman who tests her
strength to the breaking point as
she carries a steamer trunk down
the street.
The condition of women and
children in foreign lands is a prob
lem to which the new Tnterchurch
World Movement, in which Amer
ica's Protestant bodies are cooperat-
ing, has been asked to give special
attention. To this end, schools and
social centers are to be established
at various points throughout Korea,
while a central union college also is
to be stated and equipped at the
expense of the churches of Amer.
