RUSH DAMS PREVENTS
SOIL FROM WASHING

One of the big problems that
extension workers are giving their
attention to this year is saving soil
according to extension specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. In many sections of the
Central and Western States every
effort is being made by extension
workers to prevent washing and
erosion Of soil by building dams OF
placing brush heaps in gullies. A
representative of the department
who returned recently from south
western Nebraska gives the follow
ing as an example of what is being
done there:
In April 1920, a county agent as
sisted in building 19 small brush,
dams in large ditch on a farm
where large amounts of fertile soil:
were being washed away. BY March
of this year the ditch was filled with
soil. Following this demonstration
many farmers in the neighborhood'
who had been watching the out
come of te soil-saving work, built
brush dams in washouts on their
farms.
The representative reports that in
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa,
and Indiana the extension workers
are holding soil-servfce meetings
and demonstrations, and farmers
are being taught to make use of soil
surveys.

BATTLES IN WELL
TO RESCUE WIFE

New York, June 25.-Mrs. Frank
F. Gillem, thirty-six, was drowned in
a twenty-fve-foo well near Mount
Fern, ". j., about sixteen miles
from Dover yesterday afternoon
while her husband was making fran
tic efforts to save her. He descended
the slippery wall and with the limp
form under one arm made repeated
attempts to climb out-only to lose
his footing and fall to the water.
Exhausted after half an hours fight
he was pulled to safety when a pass
ing driver heard his cries.
The husband lowered himself by
the arms from the curb and started
working his way down the wall. The
well being of small diameter he was
able to brace his feet and arms on
opposite sides and within a few min
utes had negotiated thirteen feet
and was at the surface of the water.
His wife's cries had ceased.
Gillem supported her against the
wall and frightened when he could
observe no sign of life, started
frantic climb. Carrying the woman
under his right arm, he gripped the
wet stones with his lett hand and
struggled for a foothold in the moss
grown crevices between the stones.
He had gone only few feet upward
when the burden proved too much
and he fell to the water.
Resting momentarily, he kept the
woman's head above the water and
began the climb agian. Taking in
finite care, with fingers cut and
and leg muscle aching from
the strain, he reached point only
four feet from the top. Another
careful step and his foot slipped
from a slimeIcovered stone. The
ten-foot drop left him bruised and
weak. Clinging to jutting rock, he
started shouting for help.
For a time his cries went unheard
and he made another futile effort to
climb out. He had fallen for the
third time and was almost uncon-
scious, when Howard Stanton, who
drove bakers wagon to the farm
house to deliver bread, heard his
cries. Stanton ran into the barn, pro-
cured a rope and obtained the as
sistance of two farm laborers. Gil
lem fastened the rope about his wife

SMOKES AT 81 APIECE

From the Wall Street Journal.
THAT house took $4,000 worth of
cigars from me last year," said ci-
gar man who has been dealing with

years. ut is astonishing how many
righerade cigars some of the Wall
.treet houses take, brands which the
general public hardly ever hear of.

Gead or retired from the street, how
ever, John Gates, who frequently
gave me an order for two thousand
prime cigars at 81 apiece to distri-
butte among his friends was one of
my best clients.
"Charles Gates formerly duplica-
ted the order.
u. P. Morgan smoked specials at
81 each, a cigar SO strong and full
that one had to be a real man to
tackle it. remember showing one of
these to Dan Reid, who smokes the
best. He Immediately wanted 1000
and although ]. P. M. was not a
client Of mine I got the tinplate man
a similar cigar from the special fac
tory in Habana.
William Leeds smoked 81 cigars
at the rate of five to ten daily. =.
"I remember a woman coming to
my Office ad ordering 1000 cigars at
81 apiece with the proviso that no ad
vertisement Of any kind should ap-
pear on the box or cigar. I assured
her this would be all right and the
order was addressed to Theodore
Roosevelt, at the White House. The
lady was a relative. of the same
name. Roosevelt usually smoked 9
15-cent cigar"

and the three men pulled her out.
While one man ran for a physician
the other two got Gillem from the
well. He was all but unconscious
and required medical attention. Mrs.
Gillem was drowned.
It is believed she was seized with
a fainting spell while leaning on the
low curb and looking into the we'll.

WORLD is FACING
CRISIS OF THE AGES
Speaker at Northern Baptist Conven.
ticn Says Present is Most Mo-
mentous Time

Des Moines, Ia, June 23.-The
year of 1921 marks a "crisis of the
ages" the Hon. Ernest L. Tustin
president of the Northern Baptist
convention, and a well-known law
yer Of Philadelphia, declared today
in his opening address at the four.
..enth annual convention of North.
ern Baptists, in session in this city.
He laid emphasis upon the "great
extravagances in living" the "de.
plorable lowering of morals in our
social life,"' the moral degeneration
and let-down in the habits of our
young people," the morals in our
local politics perhaps lower than
ever BEFORE" and the "non-church-
going and non-religious people,
whose knowledge of the sacramenrs
is chiefly confined to those Of mar
riage and of DEATH" as evidence of
such crisis. There is, he declared,
"a clear distinct call throughout
the land for the unifcation of all
forces of Christianity to consider the
great questions confronting the po-
litical, business and religious world" "
"Countless thousands of our peo-
pie are running beyond their means,
and living without the economic
care and saving Of our forefathers," "
Mr.. Tustin said. "There has come
into the minds of the many desire
for equality of condition. In busi-
ness lines, the whole assumption
seems to be-get money; get it hon
estly if possible; but get money. In
our local politics the morale is lower
perhaps today than ever before. In
nearly evry city of our country the
word of the boss is supreme"
As an evidence of the lowering of
our social morals, Mr.. Tustin cites
the terrible indictment" of young
women, contained in the advice re-
Gently given by another denomina-
tion, which charged them not to
swear, to give up drinking, quit
gambling, refrain from immodest
dress and stop joy-riding. He said
that there was an equal moral de-
generation and let-down in the hab-
it's of our young men,"
The cure, ne said, can come only
"by a united effort of all Protestant
ism." The marked decrease in
church membership; he said, while
fraternal and worldly organizations
are increasing in membership, is
due to the fact that "the great lack
in the followers of Christianity OF
she present day is that we do not
possess the fervor, the heart-throbs,
which characterized the Christianity
of a century ago. We allow worldly
affairs to crowd out our devotion and
loyalty to our religious life"
Better Sunday schools and Bible
schools would counteract the moral
let-down among young people today,
he declared. He urged the North.
ern Baptists to sustain and develop
the % colleges and 43 schools of the
denomination, and to earnestly
strive for the religious education OF
all our people,, from the cradle to
the grave. He also urged the prac.
tice of tithing upon the denomina'
ton.
"Let US try humbly, prayerfully
and sincerely with the opening OF
this convention to inaugurate tre.
mendous forward movement for an.
other Pentecost," he said in closing.
