The estimated value of the standing pine timber IS
$4,000. The land is medium loan, with not stone
on the property and is especially suited for raising
corn and other grains. The meadow land is in enc

acres The land is almost all level with fences, most
ly woven wire, in good repair There are two fine
gardens on the place, both Of them very early.
The farm gets its water supply from the Bran
don reservoir and the water rent is very reasonable.

TUNNELS $500 FEET LONG
Pittsburgh Puts Tubes Through Hills
South of the MonongaheIa
River.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Twin tunnels, each
500 feet long, for the use of vehicles
and pedestrians, are being bored
through the range of hills bordering
the southern side of the MonOngahela
River valley here, in order that the
thousands Of persons who live in the
southern part of Allegheny county and
work in Pittsburgh may more easily
reach the city.
Work on the tunnels, which began
a few days ago, will continue for more
than two years, engineers estimate, and
the cost will be $4,60O,OOO.
1t is proposed to have the tunnels
connect with high bridge which will
span the Monongahela river and bring
the tunnel traffic to the heart of the
business district of Pittsburgh. This
will cost $3,50O,0O0. Each tube will be
made to accommodate two lines of
vehicle traffic, and in addition there
will be footpaths.

SENATE WASHES HANDS
OF SHANTUNG MATTER
First Modification of the Lodge Peace
Treaty Reservations Is
Adopted.

Washington, March 5.-The first
modification of the Lodge peace treaty
reservations was adopted when the
senate, by a vote of 50 to 2. accepted
the change of the bipartisan confer
ence in the reservation affecting the
Shantung agreement.
AS amended, the reservation elim1-
mates mention of Japan and China,
although its effect is the same as the
original Lodge proposal. 1t was
thought by some of the Democrats that
the alteration would make the reser-
walton less offensive to Japan. Sena-
tor Reed of Missouri (Dem.) and Sen
ator Sutherland of West Virginia
Rep) voted against the modification.
AS altered the reservation read:
1.-THE United States withholds its
assent to articles 1856, 157 and 158 (the
Shantung settlement provisions) and
reserves full liberty of action with
respect to any controversy which may
arise under said articles"
Senator Hitchcock offered a mild
substitute for the reservation, which
was defeated, i to o. The final vote
On the reservation as modified was

DR.. S. EARL TAYLOR,
General Secretary Interchurch World
Movement.

If Christ, on the day He was born,
mad started on a tour to preach in ev-
cry village in India, He would still
have 10000 more to. visit.
We now believe we have found a
way by which the leaders of the Prot
estant churches can sit around COM
mon table and have the Christian pro-
gram of the entire world laid before
them. By means Of the Interchurch
World Movement we can see where
the Methodists are, and where the
Baptists are. We can see the general
outline of their forces, their present
status in this great world struggle,
and may also have some idea of the
anoccupied places, and what may be
done by all of us to enter these unoc-
cupied parts of the world field which
Christ sent us to occupy.

HUGE FARMERS LEAGUE
LAUNCHED IN CHICAGO
New Organization With 100000 Men,
bers Put in Operation-Iowa Man
President.

Chicago, March 4.-The American
Farm Bureau Federation, representing
100000 farmers in tie United States,
and probably designed to be the strong
est league of agricultural interests in
the world, began q twO-days' session
here. Twenty-eight states were repre-
sented by SO delegates, many of them
women, each delegate standing for 30
600 individual farmers. The delegates
sat as board of directors for the Or
ganiZation as a whole. Several states
not yet admitted to the federation sent
representatives to ask recognition.
Resolutions introduced disclosed in
measure the activities to be fol-
lowed. They included:
National legislation that will pre-
vent strikes and unnecessary suffer
ing.
An income tax based on cash re-
ceipts and disbursements.
A demand for an international con-
ference of farmers to meet in America
with representatives from France,
England, Ireland, Canada, Germany
and other countries.
Investigation of the tariff in rela-
ton to farm products.
Repeal of the reciprocity act with
Canada.
Steps to protect the dairy industry,
potato growers and wool producers.
The federation met as a temporary
organization and almost the first or
der of business was the formation of
a permanent body. Election of Off
GERS followed.
J. r. Howard, Clemens, Ia, was
chosen president.
S. L. Strivings, CASTLE, N. Y. was
named vice president.
J. w. Cloverdale, Ames, Ia, tempo
rary secretary, was retained at the
pleasure of the president.

The entire savings of many families
in Mongolia, China, are set aside to
provide the wives with orthodox t1nery.
This elaborate and cumbersome head
dress of one of the poorer class costs
from $3.50 to 5000, and fabulous sums
are spent by the wealthy. The balloon
like sleeves, tucked and tapering from
the elbow down, extend far below the
hands and are usually Of different ma
terial and color from the gown. Long
finger nails are affected by those who
do not have to work and are consid-
cred an indication of high station.
While fortunes are spent on head
dresses to show the relative station of
the women, the exact opposite obtains
with the men, the poorer of whom
wear their hair long. The length Of
the hirsute adOrnment of the men de-
creases with their rise in rank, the
lama, or chief, having his head shaved.

The old "bread line" is gone from
its accustomed place in the cities. In
the slums throughout the country
huddled queues OF men no longer wait
to be fed. Their passing is a symbol
of the passing Of the hobo.
Everywhere, for lack of guests, the
cheap lodging houses are being aban-
doned. Only few old, decrepit men
remain in the Salvation Army Indus
trial Homes. In Kansas City the once
crowded dormitories of the Helping
Hand" building are closed. In Lincoln,
Neb., in 1915 there were 1.756 nom
resident single men who applied for
aid, while in 1918 there were only 1876.

has been lifted from his old plane by
the war. A study of the conditions of
migrant labor is now being conducted
by the Interchurch World Movement
that it may lay the facts before the
Protestant Churches of America,
whose closer cooperation is its larger
purpose. This study shows that the
hobo has found a loser succession of
jobs, a higher retur for his labor. He
has become almost a STEADY worker.
He no longer needs his old refugees.

CHURCHES TO AID LONELY
SHEEP SHEARERS OF WEST

The bleat of the sheep on the back
bone of the continent calls men to the
mountains. On high uplands from the
Canadian border to Mexico, in lonely
and inaccessible places, one of the
most romantic examples Of the coun-
try's migrant worker - the sheep
shearer-plies his trade.
Unheard Of though he is to thou
sands of his fellow workers, it was
for him that the immigration regula-
tons of three countries-Canada, the
United States and Mexico-were modi-
fed during the war. This permitted
freedom of movement to many hun
dreds Of this strange craft, and the
means of employment to thousands in
factories and stores.
Yet, for all his Importance in the
ranks of the nations great Marching
Army of the Employed, what sort Of
life does this man lead? The migrant
fruit packer, or wheat harvester, or
farmland, or lumberman often roams
inland through cities and the con-
gested spots of civilization. But the
sheep shearer by the nature of his
trade, is cut off from such influences.
Through a survey Of the nations
migrant labor now being made by the
Interchurch World Movement, it is
suggested that for men Of this class
relief may be afforded through churches
in outlying districts. For social and
other purposes these men. with proper
cooperation by church bodies, could
make use of many Of the facilities
without which they are doomed to a
life of isolation.
