and an immense crucifix. These are
all kept in large closets which are
readily opened for the inspection Of
visitors.
Certain Rare Paintings.
In the church proper is a magnIfl-
cent altar Of immense size and re-
markable beauty, richly ornamented
with elaborate fretwork and exquisite
carving. The pulpit is entirely Of In
laid mOsaics of curious pattern. Large,
gold-framed mirrors and rare paint
ings adorn the walls. Many of the
paintings depict scenes from the life
Of Christ and the lives of the saints.
One Of the handsomest Of the por-
traits is that Of San CayetanO, pa
trOn saint of Guanajuato. Along the
sides are to be found old wardrobes
of chests and a set Of antique draw
ing room furniture of rosewood and
mahogany Of rare and wonderful de-
sign, imported from Spain.
One Of the most interesting features
Of the church is the miracle chapel,
where there is an altar Of unusual
beauty and richness. In this room
are hung many small artificial arms,
legs, hearts and other members Of
the body, with Inscriptions attesting
the miracles performed by the Virgin,
who, It is believed by the devout folk
Of the community, dwells there. The
Virgins image, under a glass case, Is
adorned with a priceless set Of pearls,
including necklace, earrings and
bracelets.

year, has increased his holdings UNI
til this spring he has a wheat farm
Of $4,000 acres. This is believed to
be the largest farm in the Northwest.
The entire acreage is practically de-
voted to wheat. All the seeding has
been done and where the fall plant
ing was finished before the rainy sea-
son in November the fields are green.
During the seeding of this great
tract of land 80 drills and AZ har-

large force of men and women. There
are also GOO mules and horses, and
during the harvesting season he hires
enough outside TO make a total Of
from 450 to 500 spans. Last season
25O men and women and 30 boys
worked for two months on this great
farm, harvesting and marketing the
grain.
This years harvest, should the crop
be a normal one, will be handled by
five combined harvester threshers,
ten headers and four separatOrs. A
new departure will be the use for the
first time Of a steam propelled COM
bine with a 30-foot cut and a COM
bine propelled with gasoline tractor
which has an 18-foot cut. These two
machines have q combined capacity
Of cutting and threshIng IS to 90
acres Of rlpened wheat per day.
The great difficulty with heavy
tractors in the wheat section 10 with
the rolling nature of the land. Wheat
is planted on steep hills where horses
and mules can be driven but where
the heavy machinery slides and tips.
To care for his wheat last year Vim
cent used 100000 new jute bags for
which he paid II cents each. This
year he has ordered a new supply Of
cotton ones from Georgia.
Another large wheat farm near here
is that of Ben GrOte, who has seeded
to wheat 10000 acres. John Webb has
a o,OOO-acre field Of wheat and there
is another of 1000 acres near Toledo.
In what is known as the Big Bend
country there are numerous wheat
farmers who plant from 1900 to 5000
acres each year to grain.
An unfortunate feature of the
growing of wheat in this way is that
the land is being rapidly depleted Of
its fertility. There is need Of a sys-
TEN of diversified planting to save the
land from utter barrenness. For
nearly fifteen years many Of these big
farms have been growing wheat every
year. Some wise farmers let their
farms lie fallow every other year,
thinking they get an increased crop
enough to pay for the idle season.

Building.

should be adopted that would benefit
few at the expense of the many. For
that reason the local communities
should contribute their share of the
expense Of the construction.
"We are told by competent authority
that freight can be transported cheap
er on short hauls by motor trucks
than by rail, but on long hauls the
cost Of transportation by truck is pro-
hibitive.
"In April, 1917, the declaration Of
war caused all road building to cease.
All bond issues that had been voted
for road construction were held In
allegiance, and nothing was undertaken
until after the signing Of the armistice
to resume construction of highways.
The war awakened the people to the
necessity Of permanent road building
and demonstrated that 1t would be
necessary in the future to build roads
that would withstand the heavy truck
traffic.
''The present system Of federal aid
has not been given a fair opportunity to
demonstrate Its merits. 1t began
operation, under abnormal conditions,
which grew worse. The road to be
improved must be a rural post road
as defined in the law, to be any public
road, major portion Of which is now
used, or can be used, as a connecting
link not to exceed ten miles in length
of any road or roads now or hereafter
used for the transportation of the
United States mails.
Nothing will turn the tide Of hui
manity back to the rural communities
more effectively than the construction
Of permanent highways. Nothing will
encourage the production of food prod
ucts more than roads that can be
Travelled all the year."

STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway I'm.
ProVement Made by Kentucky
rs Years Ago.

It is often said that 1.-THE use Of state
money for the construction Of roads
is Of quite recent origin, says a bulle-
tin from the American Highway asso,
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law of 1901 is sometimes referred to
as the first instance Of such use OF
state funds in this country. AS a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than rs years
ago. Kentucky paid out over $1,000
600 for road improvements between
1920 and 1910 under the direction Of a
state highway engineer, who drew a
salary Of $1,000 a year, a very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "a TO 80
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed of broken
stone, and the bottoms were of large
stones wedged together to make what
road builders call telfOrd foundation.
About 1850 business conditions in the
country became bad and this work
stopped. When it was resumed in
1908 such a long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work that
1908 is usually fixed as the beginning
Of state road work in Kentucky.

Unusual Fascination Of Mexican
Churches Lies In Their Mixed
Northumberland Taken
by Saerileaious Vandals.

Monterey, Mex.-Restoratio of the
church properties to the Catholic cler-
gy by the Mexican government is to
be followed by a general rehabilita-
tion of many editices which were bad
ly damaged during the long period of
revolutions. In many instances mag
nificent churches were used as bar
racks by soldiers. Gold and silver or
naments, rare paintings and other
things of value were stolen by sacri-
Iegious vandals and probably will
never he recovered.
One Of the things that impresses
the visitor to Mexico most strongly is
the number and beauty of the
churches of the country, writes a
Monterey correspondent of the New
York Sun. In mining camps, vii
lagos, haclendas, at every place, I'm
fact, where there is human hablta-
ton, church may be found. Some
of the older buildings erected in the
early days of Spanish control are in
ruins, but many remain intact and
are still in use.
1t has been said that the unusual
fascination Of Mexican churches lies
In their mixed architecture the Chris
tan spire, the Moorish dome, the In
dian facades, the Saracenlc coloring
and, added to this, the fact that the
workmen employed by the Spanish
artists and architects were Indians,
who left the impress Of their own
peculiar handiwork In these ancient
buildings.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent 100000 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
inces of Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affe cted by an
Unprecedented shortage of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $1,2OO,OOO,
81 100000 of which was contributed di-
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested in the welfare of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible it is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call November IL to "a.
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in it's opera
tons in China was particularly effec-
tive, for in addition to saving hundreds
of thousands Of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sOrely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence Of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and else where.

Three Protestant Denominations
Unite Effort to Reach the

A state wide campaign having az
its slogan, "Fill the Empty Pews,a
was planned at Burlington Monday
by Revs. w. A. Dawson, d. D.

export, representing the Baptist, Con
gregational and Methodist churches of
Vermont. The two underlying ideas
of this campaign are the absence OF
self-seeking on the part of the denom-
nations represented, each planning
for the enlargement and success Of
the others as much as for itself; and
second, that the church exists for the
community rather than the community
for the church.
Each of the officials designated was
earnest and optomistic and believed
that the movement would mark the be-
ginning of new era in the religious
history of the state, and would lead
to the filling of longtime empty
pews, the rehabilitation of dying
churches, and the heartening of the
entire religious forces of the state.
AS an aid to this program the three
superintendent mentioned plan a per-
sonal tour of some of the leading cities
of the state where they will speak
from the same platform and united
ly urge the adoption of methods
that can double and treble the aver
age church attendance. They will
also advocate a simultaneous every
body Canvass" whose object shall be
TO pledge as many as, possible to at
tend the church of their choice what
ever that church may be. In this
canvass the question Of money will
be held in allegiance and the thought
uppermost will be "Not yours, but
you"
