WRANGEL HOLDS ARMY
 READY IN GALLIPOLI
(By the Associated PressD

Athens, Sept. 1. (By Mail.)-The ultimate fate of General Wrangels Russian army in exile, of whom 10000 on the Gallopoli peninsula still con tinues one of the unsolved puzzles of the Near East.
 General Wrangel has held together the best of his officers and men from among the refugee army which fled from Russia before the victorious Bol- sheviki. He has hoped that his forces would again be needed in Russia to maintain new government when the soviet regime collapsed" But this is hope deferred and Wrangel's best fighting men wait in their tents and huts on Gallipoli.
 Major Jean de Roover, chairman of the league of nations commission for the exchange of populations be- tween Greece and Bulgaria. has wis lted the Russian camp and brought away very favorable impression of the officers and men. He knows some- thing about the Russian fighting man for he was formerly the Belgian rep resentative with Wrangel's army when it was the bulwark of the anti-Bol- sevik strength in the Crimea. He says:
 "In this camp, besides 1,500 women and children, there are 5000 officers, 10000 soldiers and 2,00O cadets in the military schools. These troops have kept their military organization. Their morale is of the highest and thes voluntarily submit to the most stern discipline; for in all their hardships they are bouyed up by an unquestion- ing faith in their chief, General Wran- ge land in the greatness of their mis- sion. They are encamped under can vas, or in old huts that have no doors or windows, but are always in an ir- reproachable state of cleanness. They are fed by France. In addition, Gener- al Wrangel is paying them, from te little money he still has, about a dol lar month.

TOO MANY CHURCHES
 HOLD BACK RELIGION
(By the Associated PressI

Pittsburgh, Sept. 22.-One of the church lies in the fact that there are 175 varieties of churches in America, Dr. Baxter P. Fullerton, of St. Louis, told the Worlds Alliance of Presby- terian and Reformed churches here to- day.
 Dr. Fullerton is secretary Of the Presbyterian board of home missions and was telling of the difficulties of home mission work in the United States. Denominationaism he said, was one of the greatest and most ser ious of these. Each of the 175 kinds of church was endeavoring to promote it's own work both in the city and the country, among native and immigrant alike and consequently, there was not only overlapping but also overlooking since there had been no cooperation in the lcation and development of these various local churches.
 Continuing he said that the greatest problem before the agencies of the Christian church is to "Christianize the church itself He declared that there are communities in America where four or five different denomi- nations are at work, each church re ceiving home mission aid, when one or two churches could be both self sustaining and self-respecting.

COOPER MEN LEAGUE
 TO DEVELOP MARKET
(By the Associated Press)

Bisbee, Ariz., Sept 23.-If you cant ind a market for your product, make one. This is the underlying principle of new voluntary organization re- gently formed in the Arizona copper district.
 For months copper has been a drug on the market. There is a surplus of metal and the great copper mining industry of this state has stagnated; men have been thrown out of employ ment; great pieces of expensive ma chlnery are lying idle and depreciating in value without producing anything for the owners.
 Now comes the copper and brass research organization, headed by R.. l.. Agassiz, president of the Calumet x Hecla Mining Company and num- bering among it's members virtually all the great copper mining companies 0 fthe United States. The purpose of the organization is to create new uses for copper so that the surplus now on the market may be cleaned up and a demand created for the ore still un- |derground.
 One new use for copper is expected to be found in Arizona next year if plans for adapting copper for use in manufacture of automobile license plates materialize. It also is proposed to use coper plates in marking tuto- mobile highways.

The Cooperative Bull Association
suggests a plan for the breeding opera
tons of the men who are interested in
it, which is one of the advantages that
has appealed to the farmers OF the
state who have become interested in
the idea during the last few months.
When the animals for the association
are purchased they are selected from
the same family of cattle-sometimes
all from the same herd, and the ex-
change of sires under the operation OF
the association provides for the orac-
tice of constructive line breeding over
period of eight or ten years without
the matter being given further thought
or care by the members of the associa-
ton.
