naked beans are o. k. for short trlp instead of dried beans. while for long trips rice makes a good supstltuts for potatoes, as 1t saves welsnt anu space in pacxing-two very tmpor- tant considerations. A few cans cf spaghetti, ready cooked, make nice change; but always go light on canned gods in making up pack.
 Here are some recipes for few camp dishes:
 Dutch oven Bread-Two cups of flour, pinch of salt, two tablespoons baking powder, heaping tablespoon lard. Mir with cold water until thick enough to drop from spoon. Grease Dutch oven well. turn dough in ana bake in one thin loaf
 Spotted Pup-Boil rice until about done, pour off water, add cup or cup and a half of raisins, half or two third cup of condensed milk, sweeten. and set by edge of fire, where it will simmer, until rice is done. If one prefers dried raspberries or any dried fruit instead ofsraisins 1t should be partly cooked before adding to the rice.
 Stew-Slice potatoes in Dutch oven or frying pan. Salt and pepper, cover with water and stew (under lid) un- til about dry. Have several strips of bacon (about half done) ready, and when the water is about gone on the spuds. turn in the bacon and grease and finish with a quick fry They're fine.
 To roast meat: In case one gets hold of a piece of meat Gone often gets hold of piece of mutton from a sheep herder) put a chunk, along with soma peeled spuds and a couple of onions in the Dutch oven. Salt and pepper and partly cover with water. Good idea to do this before break fast. Dig a hole, about IS inches to two feet deep, and burn down good fire over this hole. Then get break fast. When ready to leave camp shovel the coals out of the hole, put the Dutch oven in the bottom (be' sure the lid is on tight) and shovel the coals back in the hole over the oven and put few inches of soil over the top of all.
 To keep trout four days: Keep the trout dry. Don't even wash, after cleaning. if you want to keep them several days. In cleaning, be sure to remove the gills as they spoil quickly and taInt the whole fish. Spread on the grass, or on board or canvas, In the shade to dry. Pack in dry grass through the day, and in the evening string on a wire or string between two trees. Do not let them touch each other. In the morning. re-pack them in dry grass and in the evening re- peat the operation of the evening bs- fore, and so on each night and morn ing; and 'tis a cinch you'll get them home in good shape, and that's one of the joys of going fishing.

 Hornsby, however, is leading the regulars with an average of .397, and has increased his home run string to 37.
 The Pirates in their race to over take the Giants are out in front in team batting with an average of .3I1. The Giants are hitting .30S, while the Cardinals are third with 1902.

 sisIer Seems Safe
 The injury to George Sisler has cast a gloom not only over St. Louis but in many other cities where the tans have been pulling for the Browns to win the American league pennant. The Browns were going strong in the sizzling race for the flag, but the unfortunate injury to the St. Louis phenom has thrown a wrench into the workings of the team.
 If Sisler is not able to go back into the game his batting average or .424 appears to be high enough to ln- sure his position as leading hitter for the 1922 season. His closest rival Ty Cobb, is 31 points behind and the chances of his catching up are remote. Cobb's average is .5s3' Sisler has the edge for stolen base honors with AT, with Kenneth Wii- Hams, a teammade, tagging alons with 33.
 The race of Babe Ruth to over take Williams and Tillie Walkers or the Athletics for the home run non ors is becoming more exciting. Wal ker smashed out three during tne past week and ran his string to 50, while Williams bagged two Tor q total of 37, and the Babe craekeo out three for a total of 32.

Americans Lose Final Race, But Capture

Oyster Bay, N. T., September 1G. Although defeated by British six meter six yachts in the sixth and final race of the International series off here today, the American craft finished ahead in the team score III to 104. and took possession of the British American cup, emblem atic of the worlds six meter yacht championships.
 Taking today's race by score of 22 to IA. twice around a six mile triangular course, the British yachts scored their fourth individual as well as fourth team triumph in the con tests. Their margins of victory each time, however, were not suf- ficient to overcome the big lead gained by the United States in mak- ing a clean sweep of the first race. The other American victory was scored in the third race.
 The Lea, sailed by J. F. Berming- ham was the only American in- dividual winner, finishing first in the first two races. The British craft led the way in the other four. Jean finishing first in the third race, Reg in the fifth and Colia III in the fourth and today in the sixth

HUBBARD'S LETTER

New York, September Especially The market was a trifle easier today on the unsettled European conditions. There was moderate amount of hedge selling; also over night selling orders were put in the market due to the declining market of yesterday. We understand the western interests have sold considerable cotton on the theory that the situation In Turkey would bring on further complication and delay trade revival. We hear from the south that the spot demand still continues good and that southern mills are still buy ing considerable cotton sold late this afternoon. We look for nervous steady market temporarily. but just so long as the spot basis continues steady we feel prices will not decline to any great ex. tent.

RURAL CHURCHES GAINING

RURAL ChChCHES GAINING
 Irwin J. Matthews, in Christian Her
 aid.
 Many large tears have been shed and volumes have been written con corning the decay of the rural church. but my observation is that the rural church is not decaying but getting stronger. Quite true, church houses have been abandoned, but the old grain cradle was abandoned when Cyrus Mccormick conceived the idea of self-reaper and proceeded to show that it would do the work. We might, if We would, grieve because the grain cradle became obsolete and so many-men lost the strenuous art of cradling. A treatise on the decay of the hoe would be about as uour- ishing as some of the stuff that has been printed on the decay of the rural church.
 Many church buildings have been closed and what is more, there are a number of others that should lave the key turned In the lock. The building itself may be in decay but the church spirit is still present. The automobile has changed all this with out reflecting in any way upon the spirit which dotted churches here and there over the countryside. And with counties and states and even the federal government itself actively encouraging the good roads program, it is more and more possible for com- munities to combine their talents and finances and to secure better mjnis- ters larger and better use of the To- cal talent that is always present vaiting TOT development. And there Is inspiration in numbers. Tn one community I know of might lament the fact that three churches are closed if did not know that a church three miles away has the combined congregations of all three and great many more besides It is not services but service that
