HAY MOTORS ARE ADVOCATED
Costs Less to Fe, d Horse Than to Buv
Gasoline Kansas Farmer Told.

Manhattan. Kan, Feb. S.-The mod
ern day farm power rivalry, Horse vs..
Motor. again has turned in favor OF
the former. members of the Kansas
Horse Breeders association We're told
today by Ellis Mcfarland of Chicago
secretary Of the PercherOn Society Of
America, in-an address at their annual
meeting here one can feed a horse
well on the farm today at less cost
day, than the price OF a gallon of gaso-
line. Mr.. Mcfarland said.
With present prices of all kinds of
farm feeds and the relative suren ess
that values on such products viii not
increase to any great extent, the dra #
horse has come into public favor as
never before the speaker declared
Is it any wonder, with corn at So
cents oats at 80 cents per busheI and
hay at $40 to S15 d ton that the draft
horse should be accepted so enthusi-
astically for farm power purposes.
It costs on an average for the
year about 20 cents per day TO feed
a farm horse to keep it in excellent
flesh. Nearly every farmer has
enough horses Of his own so that when
he figures how little II costs him for
feed. it is evident that he cannot af-
ford to use any other source of power
than horses"
As d means Of reducing farm oper-
ating costs. Secretary Mcfarland rec
commended having one man drive as
many horses as two or three ordinar-
uy do.

Mr. Lowden praised the farmers for
not having gone on strike and left
their fields TO lie faIlow. and asserted
that delay in adjusting the prices OF
other commodities downward in line
with farm product prices could be
blamed to finanCiers who had been
assuring the country for d year and a
half that the worst of deflation and
readjustment was over.

mand.' he declared. VIII soon be

Bagdad. Persia was crossed, but the
party was refused permission to
cross Russia and were obliged to re-
cross Persia. DR.. Powell spoke very
highly Of both medical and educa-
tional missionaries and their work in
Persia. The only possible hope for
Persia lies in the fact that so many
of her young people are attending
missionary schools.
The return trip was made across
Arabia by motor cars. On their re-
turn they were captured by Arabs.
When they told the Sheik that they
were Americans ne told them he had
never heard of the place. They were
finally given their freedom and 4

terranean. the first party that ever
crossed that part Of Arabia by motor
car. Major Powell's lecture was
greatly enjoyed by alb His lecture
was interspersed with many passages
of wit and real humor.

Major PoweII's Lecture

Major i. Alexander Powell, cele-
brated author and traveller, was the
speaker ~ the second lecture in the
Lyceum course held Friday evening.
1t was expected that. moving pic
lures illustrative of the lecture
would be shown but these the COM
mittee found it necessary to elmini-
ntae because of the non-arrival of
the machine
The subject of the lecture was.
Where Strange Trails Go Down"
Major Powell is q pleasant speaker
despite the fact that he disclaimed
being a lecturer. He opened his adj
dress by telling of the islands which
comprise MALAYSIA. The Philippines
are divided into three groups, the
principal of which is Luzon. The
question to be considered if the
Philippines arc to be given their
freedom, is to what race or division
shall the rcins of government be
given. On these islands are spoken
I Is different languages. not dialects,
but languages. II we do as the pop
ulation wishes and eyecuate the
island the japanese are sure sooner
or later, to invade the islands. These
islands are self-supporting and the
l.. S. is not spending any money.
Borneo was next considered. 1t is
the third largest island in the world
The loss of life on this island from
crocodiles is tremendous. Some TO-
600 lives are lost annually from this
source. He told of the method of
catching the man eating crocodiles
The Dutch government pays a good
bounty on each of the creatures
killed.
The extent of the colonial pos
sessions of the Dutch, Holland. is
very large. England comes first and
Holland second, Despite the fact
that Holland has very small navy.
she holds her possessions with little
or no trouble for she handles her
brown subjects with a glove of vel
vet and not OF iron. He told inter
estingly of Java and Siam. Some of
the cities of the latter are amazingly
modern. OF these the principal city
is Bankok. The modernization of
Siam is due largely to the king, who
is graduate OF Elton and oxford
and is exceedingly occidental.
From the Far East the speaker
jumped, to the Middle East. Arabia.
Major Powell told of his trip across
Arabia with caravan. This trip he
related most amusingly. In the en-
tire trip of $40 miles he saw no liv-
ing thing except those accompanying
the caravan. The desert is not COM
posed of sand but of sun baked clay.
The danger encountered was the
deadly Arabian sun. The caravans.

Theological School in Cambridge.
Under, the leadership of Bishop Law
renee of Massachusetts, who recent
Il raised the Church Pension Fund
o. over eight million dollars for pen
sioning retired ministers, the cam
paign TO add $1,0O0,00O to the en-
doWment of the school will be car
ried on throughout the country.
This movement within the F,pis-
ccpal church was wider significance
than the raising of a sum of money
to strengthen the theological school,
II is sign of awakening public in
torest in the need for better trained
ministers. AS Bishop Lawrence has
said. The vital need of this coun-
Try is men of force, character, cd
ucatiOn and yiSion-spiritual leaders
In the production of such men the
theological school is vital to the
church. 1t is quite as vital that the
public understand its true value
Usually people think of it as a place
OF more or less academic discussion
J rather than the foundation head from
(which the student draws the energy
and power which later makes his
ministry effective.
"There has been as much change
in the methods Of teaching theologi-
cal students within the last forty
years as there has been in the meth
Oh Of teaching law or medical stu
dents. People do not appreciate il.
III the old days the student used to
cher gave him the correct thcologi-
ca! material; he took it and went out
and distributed it. Today no theo-
logical professor can hold his own
month if he attempts that process.
The theological school must be and
is on q level, if it is doing its work,
with any graduate school Of uni
yersity."
