WHAT THE CHURCH CAN DO

The recent annual meeting Of the
Lutheran Sunday School Of Middle
town, Ohio, showed clearly the ad-
vantages which have been gained by
the school through the use of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps and gov
eminent securities. The school is en-
gagged in the financing Of new par
ish house and the funds, therefore,
have been invested in government
bopds and War Savings Stamps
which later will mature at a period
come necessary. Through the use Of
these savings devices the members Of
the Sunday School were enabled last
year to dispense in charity to others
more than $40 per capita, an equal
amount for maintenance Of the
school and put aside nearly $4,000.

Must Increase the
Advertising Rates

Lack of satisfactory understanding
between the publishers and printpa-
per manufacturers was held to be re-
sponsible in part for the present pa
per shortage by Paul Patterson, one
of the publishers of the Baltimore
Sun, in testimony before the Senate
Manufactures Subcommittee investi-
eating the paper shortage. He said
that while there would he no IN
creased production this year, pro-
duction IN 1921 would be 100000
tons over that of 1920.
The present shortage, the witness
told the committee, resulted from IN
creased consumption beyond the ca
pacity Of the papermilis. Sayrg that
increased prices for paper were nee
essary about three years ago, he as
serted that the producers failed to
take the publishers into their conf
dence at that time with the result
that an agitation was started against
increased prices and for public con-
troll of the paper industry. Also the
manufacturers, he said, failed to ex-
pand their plants due to~the lack Of
understanding between them and the
publishers.
"Then you think the position taken
by the newspaper publishers was a
mistaken" Chairman Reed, of the
Subcommittee asked.
eyes, was the reply. SIT was a
| lack of understanding between them
1 and also lack of proper publicity"
As result of this situation, Mr.
Patterson said, when the publishers
came to renew their paper contracts
| this year insufficient paper to meet
demands was discovered, so that they
entered 1920 with shortage Of pa
per on every hand"
Mr.. Patterson expressed the belief
that the universal practice of cur
tailment in the use of paper which
he said was being observed by the
newspapers, would result in "a mark
ed effect on the market by fall"
Newspapers, he said, are practicins
various methods to meet the paper
situation, including the limiting of the
size of the papers.
"But nothing effective can be ac-
complished unless there is definite
curtailment in the amount of adver-
tisements," he said, "and the only
way that can be done is to increase
advertising rates-not for the pur-
pose of increasing revenues, but t.
hold down the amount Of advertis.

INCREASE OF TI-SEMITISM
IN GERMANY.

The anti-semitic feeling in Germany
has been on the increase recently and
manifested itself in various ways. The
overthrow of the government this
week and the danger of the reintro-
duction of the old reactionary regime
spells still greater dangers for the
Jews of Germany.
Indications are not lacking of the
prevalence of this feeling, especially
when the matter pertains to the learn
ed classes. Jewish professors and lit
erary men are being prevented from
pursuing their work by thesill-feeling
of students and others against them.
The incident of Professor Meyer, at
Karlsruhe, was recently reported in
these columns. The famous Berlin
actor, Alexander Moissi, who came to
Hamburg to give public readings from
the poets, was prevented from carry
ing out his intentions by noisy pro-
tests of an anti-semitic character.
In Cologne placards have been
posted Sin! all streets by the Pan-Ger-
man Association, in which the popu-
lation is exhorted to rebel against the
Jewish yoke Many leaflets of a sim
liar nature have been widely distri-
buted. .-. +
At a congress Of German farmers,
held on February II, DR.. Rossicko,
the president, began his speech with
anti-semitic and monarchistic state
ments, and every time the word "gov-
eminent" was mentioned it was greet
ed by cries of "Jewish government"
from the audience. Every mention
of the demands of the Entente and of
the extradition caused great hilar-
ity and was answered by exc1ama-
tons, "Let us extradite our Jews"

to avoid being misunderstood but to
secure a patient hearing and fair
judgment. 1t was pointed out that if
the Jewish youth is to be inspired TO
helpful partisanship of Judaism, it
must learn that Jews are the bearers
of something worth preserving and
great work for mankind To realize
this they must know Jewish history,
literature, and thought. This consti-
tutes the aim of the Society: to pro-
duce cultured Jewry and a sympa-
thetic public.
That these aims appeal to the Jews
appears from the fact that it has at
tracted thousands of Jews to it's
ranks, it's membership being 16,436.
1t is represented in all the states of
the Union and in every civilized coun-
try in the world. It has been said
that it's list of members constitutes
the most selected Jewish directory in
the United States, for it contains the
names of the most distinguished and
public-spirited Jews throughout the
land.
The Society has published nearly
lis books and it has distributed near
ly million and three quarter copies
of it's publications. Among the dis
tinguished authors whose books have
been published and distributed by the
organization are Abrahams, Ahad
Ha'-am, Darmesteter, Dubnov, Ginz-
berg, Gottheil, Graetz, Jacobs, Laza-
rus, Margolis, Peretz, Schechter, and

Admiral William s. Sims writes in
the Worlds Work: IF you had been
following one Of the mine layers while
1t operates. you would probably have
been surprised at the apparent sim
plicity of the task. The vessel was
going at its full speed; at intervals
of few seconds, huge black objects,
about five feet high, would be observed
gliding toward the stern; at this point
they would then give mighty lurch,
fall head first into the water, sending
up great splash, and sink beneath the
waves. BY the time the disturbance
was over the ship would have ad-
vanced a considerable distance; then.
in a few seconds. another black OBJ
ject would roll toward the stern, make
a similar plunge and disappear"

MARKET INFLUENCED
LARGELY BY SUPPLY
Lowest Prices Prevail After the
heaviest Shipments.
With Decreasing Stocks Prices Ad-
vance, Sometimes Recovering Much
of Early Decline-Careful
Study Will Assist

The man engaged in either selling or
buying perishable produce will do well
to familiariZe himself with the usual
course of the market In such lines
during season. The natural market
course, according to marketing experts
OF the United States department of ag
riculture, is somewhat as follows:
1t starts high with active movement
even for inferior stock because the de-
mand has the sharp edge of novelty
and appetite. The price gradually de-
cllneS and poor stock becomes harder
to sell as the supply increases. Low
est prices arrive soon after the heav-
lest shipments begin. and glut may
occur, especially if many sections are
shipping at once and there is much
poor stock. Then, with a decreasing
supply, prices advance, sometimes re-
covering much of the early decline, but
usually not reaching the opening prices
because demand is far less keen at the
end of a long season. If the last of
the shipments are inferior, as happens
frequently with many perishable crops,
the season may close at or near bot
tom prices.
The common or natural market de-
velopments do not always take place
as might be expected. Quite frequent
ly superior quality Of the main crop
or absence of general competition will
bring higher prices in mid season. Tn
expected shortage may cause the re-
serve stock in storage to sell at high
prices at the close of the season, espe-
cially the less perishable crops like
potatoes, onions, apples, cabbage. etc.
Careful study Of crop, shortage, sup
ply, and shipment should enable a
fairly good judgment to be made of
the outcome. However, quickly per-
ishable short season crops like straw
berries or melons are very irregular,
and so 1t is difficult to form a reliable
market judgment of them.
