sisted by the rector, Rev. r. M.
Laurenson, confirmed twenty-six.
Many were present at the services.

of the times as to religious effort. He
regretted that-religion was not taught
in the state university and in the
public schools and said that an effort
would be made to have more attention
given to this subject outside of school
He not only regretted the university
did not teach religion but that it per-
mitted liberal ideas to be advanced
by part of the members of the faculty
Religion is not taught in the home
and the topic is not given the atten-
ton it was in the days of our fore
fathers, he held. The bishop declared
the World war would not have been
fought had this been Christian
world.

DEFINIET FARM
BODY IS URGED

Farmers should build up an or
ganization capable of presenting facts
to congress on matters affecting agri-
culture, Secretary Wallace declared
on Wednesday before the conference
lat Washington of the American Farm
federation.
Mr. Wallace "deplored" the com
plant sometimes heard that appro-
priations for agriculture are in the
nature of substituting class, since
they are for the benefit of the farm
ers. Such appropriations are actually
more for the benefit of the consumers
lin the long look ahead" than for the
farmers, he said

No ARRESTS IN
TWO RObbER|ES
Police Say They Are Still
Probing Briggs and Cav
ronsky Robberies Here

While no arrests have been made
in the case of the two robberies oc-
curing in the city on Tuesday night,
August 2, the local police are still
conducting their investigation and
are able to report progress in the
apprehension of the robbers, it is
said by Lieutenant Lawrence A.
Long, of the detective department.
On the night mentioned above
thieves entered the establishments
of Louis BRIGGS on Smith street and
Morris Gavronsky on State street,
stealing a large number of coats
and suits, together with a consider
able amount of haberdashery.
1t is not believed that the two
robberies are in any way connected,
the authorities being of the opinion
that a man and a woman pulled the
job at Gavronsky's, while two men
robbed Briggs place. A man and a
woman were seen inspecting Cav
ronsky's store at frequent intervals
during the afternoon before the rob-
berry. it is said. and the two entered
the store, ostensibly to buy. They
were even seen to go around to the
back of the store and examine the
ear of the premises.
In the case of the robbery of
Briggs clothing store. the police
have a well founded theory as to
the identity of the thieves. The
mems movements have been traced
positively till a late hour on Tuesday
night. Since then they have not been
seen in the city, but it is expected
that new phases in the situation will
develop. y

A fifty per cent reduction in

the loss entailed this veal through

that cutting off of levy on freight
