to any particular church. but many
of them at least not unfriendly to
the church. 1t is this unshepherd-
ed multitude that the Inter-Church
World movement in the spirit Of
Christ has felt particular compass
sion for.
Counting the millions OF Ameri-
cas- population as units, the recent
inter-church surveys reveal that
out of every 100 people, three are
Jewish, 16 are Roman Catholic, %
are Protestant, and IS acknowledge
no definite religious connection. In
what sections of the country do
Americas 100000 unchurched
professionals reside? If the above
proportion varies slightly locally
the Inter-Church World movement
has still at least about half of our
population in Rock Island to work
on, and to work with, and to work
through.

Rock Island, ILL.,, March 81
Editor Argus: AS one who has been
a regular and appreciative reader
of the Daily Union, it is not without
regret that | note its absorption by
the equally respected Argus.
Rock Island has surely been very
fortunate in having two papers with
such high ideals and able manage
ment.
So far as the news in concerned
one paper can doubtless supply the
wants of the community about as
we'll as two.
Editorily, and especially in the
expression of political sentiments,
it can hardly be expected that such
should be the case.
You are meeting the situation
very fairly, however, when you ex-
press purpose to change the edi-
torial policy of your paper from
that of mild partisanship to that
of independence; and you seem to
be fully cognizant of 1.-The difficult
ties as well as the broader obliga-
tons of your new position
The quotation which you make
from a down state contemporary
as epitomizing your position, AL
ways open to conviction; never
subject to dictation," is not alto
gether reassuring. 1t has a sort OF
chip on the shoulder sound. II
you live by the first part of it. al
will be we'll with you and the pub
lie. The second part is an entirely
unnecessary slap in the face of thai
same public. No one wants to die,
tate to you, and if they did every
one knows already that it would b
impossible.
You have well recognized thai
the difficulties ana obligations O.
independence are greater than those
of mild partisanship, and left Il:
at least to infer that you would d.
your best to meet those difficultie:
and fulfill those obligations.
The public, shut up to one news
paper, surely has a right to ex
pect that 1t Will be independent, no
in any cocky. self-sufficient style
but in broadminded and thought
full way.
1t is very surprising, therefore
to find that the very first editoria
bearing along political lines appear
ing in the new Argus is flippant ant
superficial.
You call attention very we'll Il

nor congress can act alone in bring

senate do not happen to be of tn,

LLOYD GEORGE HAS
 A STRENUOUS DAY
By A,soclates Press

London. August 4-Poland and Ire land gave Premier Lloyd George q busy day today. In addition to pre- siding at a long cabinet council and disc lssing these questions, MT. Lloya George received in the afternoon ana again in the evening d deputation of Irish unionists and nationalists rom Dublin and Cork, who urged him 70 grant dominion home rule for 1relani.
 The deputation was headed by Sir Stanley Harrington commissioner Tor education in Ireland, and included a number of prominent local men, among them Prof. Wilbraham Fitz John Trench of Trinity College. Dublin. With the premier were Andrew Bonar Law. lord privy seal; Sir Hamar Greenwood chief secretary for Ire land, and other ministers.
 An official report of the conference will be issued shortly. The conference was a private one, but at it there oc- cured a sympathetic discussion of the entire Irish situation.
 Jetween the conference with the Irishmen, Mir. Lloyd George and MT. Bonar Law received Leo Kamenef, president of the Moscow soviet, Leo- hid Krassin and other members of the Russian mission which has come tO London in an endeavor to solve the trade situation between Great Britain and Russia This was the first official reception of the Russians since their return to London.
 The discussion was confined to the Polish crisis
 The premier's reception twice of the Cork and Dublin deputation was the cause of the greatest interest in the lobby of the house of commons. Here the belief was expressed that the views of men of such high standing in South and West Ireland, many of . whom formerly were opposed to home rule. could not have failed of careful consideration by the ministers. i It was said tonight that the dele 1 gation had urged the government to l drop the new Irish crimes bill and rule measure. To the objection that 1 the visitors did not represent the Sim Feiners the delegation argued that | the procedure they advocated would | at least, have behind it the large and | growing opinion in Ireland, while the
 policy of combining coercion" with the home rule bill now before parlia-
 ment would be unanimously con demned,
 Whether anything comes of the con. ference or not, the view held in the Hobby was that the premier's alacrity in receiving the deputaton was high ly significant. The meeting at Cork at which it was decided to send the l deputation to London only occurred Tuesday.
 It is an open secret that the premier
 favors dominion home rule as a solu-
 ton of the controversy and has beer
 held back by the conservative ele
 ments in the cabinet Therefore, ad
 ditional significance attaches to tn
 fact that full meeting of the cabi met was held between the two recep
 tions of the deputation.

10 TO rs PER CENT. WILL
YIELD S25,OOO,OOO

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Increased
express charges, ranging from 10 to
rs per cent, and estimated to yield
SEE, 100000 additional revenue, were
asked by the American Railway Ex-
press Company, in petition filed on
Saturday with the interstate COM
merce commission.
Increased cost of conducting it's bus
mess, as we'll as need for more COM
plete facilities and equipment, was
given by the company as ground for
asking additional revenue.
Deficit Is Big
The company estimated it's deficit
for 1919 at $22,036,0OO, and for the
last six months of 1918 at SIS, 723, 900.
While explaining That previous rate
increases had added approximately
$12,000,000 to the annual revenue, the
company said that this money was
given Immediately to employees in the
shape of increased wages. Granting
of extra wages for overtime on the
basis of an eight hour day was said
to have resulted in a monthly outlay
of $1,022,000, as compared to less
than $4,000 before the eight hour
day and overtime pay were given.
Ask 25 Per Cent Raise
The company asked for a flat 25
per cent increase on the present COM
modify rates in the district east of
the Mississippi, and north of the Ohio
rivers. Between points in that dis
trict and other sections of the coun-
try, the increase would be 10 per
cent.
The large increase sought was for
actual hauling, for which the COM
pany asked rs per cent additional in
the eastern district, and so per cent
An increase of 33 1-3 per
cent was asked for terminal handling
of shipments.

MARSHALL REFUSES
Use OF HIS NAME
BELIEVES WITH CLARK, McADOO
AND EDWARDS THATDELEGATES
SHOULD BE UNRESTRICTED.

ATLANTA.-Vice Pres. Marshall
has advised Georgia democrats that he
will not consent to the use of his
name on the Georgia presidential pri-
mary ballot and that he is in favor
of uninstructed delegations to the San
Francisco convention.
The action of the vice-president
further emphasizes the fact that
there is but one democratic candidate
openly cunning for delegates, Attorney
General Mitchell A. Palmer. Neither
in Georgia nor INDIANA, where his
boomers proposed to put Mr.. Mar
shall's name on the primary ballots,
will the vice president consent to
it's use. He has notified Georgia
democrats that he believes in unin-
structed delegations and would re-
lease delegates even if pledged to-
him.
William G.. McAdoo, former Speak.
err Champ Clark, Governor Edwards,
of New Jersey, and Vice President
Marshall have now insisted upon un-
instructed delegates. They want a
free for all contest at the Golden
Gate and a fitting of the platform to
the right man. Mr.. Marshall's wish
that a petition circulated in Georgia
be not filed was expressed in letter
which his secretary directed to ]. L.
Lawton, of Macon, Ga. 1t was Mr..
Lawton who circulated the petition
in Georgia because of his wish that
"a real democrat who advocates and
believes in the fundamental demo-
cratic principles" become the demo-
cratic standard bearer. Mr.. Lawton
wrote the vice presidents office that
the signers to the petition included
W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon
Telegraph, and former Judge c. L.
Bartlett, also of Macon.

lO,327,53O POUNDS
OF TOBACCO GROWN
BROUGHT GEORGIA GROWERS
PROFITS RAN FROM SIS
TO 400 PER ACRE.

Last year Georgia produced lO,327,-
$50 pounds of flue-cured tobacco, winch
sold for an average of $17.73 per hun
bred pounds. This average was made
from the complete reports of eight ware
house, writes E. G. Westbrook In the
Georgia Extension News, issued by the
State College of Agriculture.
Some of the markets in sections that
did not suffer so badly from rains as
others made an average for the season
of $21.00 per hundred. Good tobacco
sold high, but the rains caused large
amount of low grade tobacco and there
fore made the average for the season
low.
The Weld per acre this year was low
err than last year. This is to be ex-
pected, however. The yield not only
varied great deal on different farms,
but it is interesting to note the differ
ence in yield in different counties.
Yields Varied
Records made of 121 farms from ID
different counties show an average
Weld of $50 pounds per acre. Whlle the
average yield for % farms in Berrlen
county was $50 pounds, only the tobac'
co sold was considered.
Yields varied from 200 to 1901
pounds per acre. The average total
Weld last year was $50 pounds. An
average Weld of 700 to 1000 pounds can
be expected under normal conditions.
The variation of the gross returns per
acre was unusually wide, varying from
$500 to $4,000 on the farms studied
Most of the farmers who received very
small returns were the ones who did
not transplant their tobacco until June
or July, or whose fields were practically
drowned.
Most of the farmers who seeded their
plant bed in January, transplanting by
the goth of April, made profit on then
tobacco. A record of 2S farms in Ber-
rien county showed that an average OF
$4,000 per acre gross was received
For beginners in a new section with
very bad weather conditions this show
ing is very good.
