SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
GET BACK PROPERTY
City of Saltillo Returns Mission
Seized During the Revolution

City of Saltillo Returns Mission
Seized During the Revolution
Washington, Sept. 12.-The num-
icipality of Saltillo, Mexico, has re-
stored to the foreign mission board
of the Southern Baptist convention
virtually all of the property seized
by the city government from the
mission board in 1917. Acting Sec
rotary Phillips of the state depart
ment reported today in a letter to
Senator Harris, of Georgia.
Secretary Phillips stated that the
Mexicans still were holding a vacant
plaza in front of the main property
which had been used by the mission
board for school purposes but gave
no further information regarding
the return of the property. The
school and land was taken by the
municipal authorities for hospital
purposes they claimed, during the
revolutionary activities in that part
of Columbia in 1917, alleging that
contractual obligations entered into
by the board had not been carried
out.
The mission board, it was said at
Senator Harris Office today main
tanned that it has acquired absolute
title to the property and Senator
Harris was asked some time ago to
take up with the state department
restoration of the property. News
of it's return reached the state de.
partment from the American con.
sui at Saltillo last night.

the last five months the anthracite
coal fields today were scenes OF few
erish activity when most of the loo
900 mine workers who responded to
the suspension order to their union

waiting at the mouth of the mines
when the whistles blew at six a. m.

mainder, he added, would return as
soon as the mines are put in condi-
ton for operation.

Three very successful meetings
were held on Sept. 7th and 9th in

lords, who spoke on the subject of
Cover Crops, Forage Crops and Pas
aures- The first meeting was held
Thursday afternoon at Antreville,
whe.e considerable interest was
Ihpwn and two carloads of farmers
nsde a trip to the farm of the Nc
Adams Bros. where they observed
susne very interesting results from
She use of ~clovers.
First we were shown a field of
soffon planted in May after a green
md Of burr clover had been turned
under. This field has been growing a
winter cover crop of burr clover for
shfea years. The ten or twelve far
zers present estimated that the
sisia for this year would average
sfree feurths of a bale of cotton to
Efsc acre. Had it not been for the
bell veevil this field would have pro-
Suced more than a bale to the acre
ms the cotton is still green and grow
ing. Only two hundred pounds of
slEsren per cent acid was used as a
Hertlizer this year.
Next we saw a field of corn grow
Dig on a three year old clover sod,
alanied May IS, with two hundred
psunds OF acid to the acre, which
was estimated to make IS to 40
scsaeIs of corn to the c Then we
