HARMF Ill To
FARMER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Billings, Mont., Oct. 1S.-William
G. McAdeo in a speech here last night
on the reduction in farm credits, de-
clared the powerful influence of Wall
street and President Harding's policy
have reduced the country from con-
dition of prosperity to condition Of
want"
The reduction of farm credits, he
said has forced the reduction in the
price Of farm products over the entire
country from s14,250, ,O0O, 900 in 1919
to $5,25O, ,OOO, 900 in 1921. The former
cabinet officer said that as result
of the reduction the farmers were new
er before in such an unfortunate situa-
ton as they are today"

Bishop |Penick Greets
New Diocese in Fine
Sermon Last Euening

mas Eeen baptlsed is member of that
body. AS every part of the human
body is connected with oneself so is
each of us related to the head and that
is Christ.
The least little thing done, even
a cup of cold water in His name, is
related to that church whereby Christ
IS setting up His kingdom. The church
as q divine organism is not generally
understood, declared the speaker To
some the church is like some civic or
ganization in which there is felt nc
deep, compelling responsibility. Sc
long as they regard the, church as
tsuch they are consistently right iD des
ing as they please but without the
divine conservation they are not, able
to do these things. What the cIlurch
does is to fill the members with divine
life and enable them to do the things
they are not capable of doing alone.
AS we come more and more into har-
mony with Christ we find faith is
something we may possess which
makes US different, Transforming our
lives from day to day. How different
from every day life giving US energy
and propelling us on. That is the
power that is bringing the kingdom
to Jesus feet-God working in our
wills and making us do that which
is right.
It seems there is dreadful earnest
ness about this thing but as yet we
have not circled the globe with the
tidings of Christ's kingdom. When
the war broke out in 1914 England
sent out the message to all the British
empire in six minutes that they were
at war but we, after 20G0 years, have
not sent the message around the
world Of Christ's love.
God has spoken through his son.
There was haste about the message
that we do not feel and it was the
earnest desire of DR.. Pe1ick that we
could feel the urge, the accountability
of getting the message abroad, especi-
ally now when the world is in a state
Of unrest and unhappiness.
We can identify ourselves with the
will Of God that we find place in
His kingdom> Through membership
in the church, that divine organism
It will require haste to bring The
message but the greatest thing that
the globe with the message of His
kingdom.
In closing DIR. Penick again brought
greetings to the sister diocese wishing
it Godspeed and praying that all that
is undertaken be done for the con-
tinuation Of His glory.
Following the services the congre-
cation and guests repaired to the
Hotel ,Huffry where an informal re-
ception was held for the congregation
to meet the new bishop and visiting
delegates. A delightful hour or more
was spent in the hotel dining room
where ample opportunity was afforded
for all to become better acquainted.
Delicious punch was dispensed dur
ing the evening by the ladies Of the
church.
The nrogram began this morning at
9:3O and the convention organized
for business. At 1O:3O the bishop made
his adress and gave his charge to the
new diocese. At o'clock luncheon
was served in the parish house and
during the afternoon the visitors were
taken for automobile rides over the
city.
This evening at, 7:3O Dean Davis
of New York, general secretary of the
church house, will make. an address.

GIVE UP EIGHT AS DROWNED.
Glove and Mariners concede Loss O.
Tug, Missing Four Days.

Cleveland, Dec. 26~-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of the
tug Cornell. missing for four days,
remained unsolyed last night, and for
the first time 1t was conceded by mar
iners that the tug with It's crew Of
eight, probably had gone down. Four
tugs which spent Christmas cruising
on Lake Erie reported late yesterday
that they had failed TO find any trace
Of the missing vessel.
That the Cornell, thoroughly dried
out by more than season Of mac
tivity. had taken ire and that the crew
had sacrificed It's chances of escape by
remaining too long to fight the flames
was the explanation most commonly
suggested by Cleveland seafarers last
night. The possibility that the boilers
had exploded was discounted, because
Government inspection had pronoun-
ced them in satisfactory condition
Just before the Cornell cleared for Buff
ialo.
That FIRE or explosion would have
been visible from land was the conten.
ton made, as the vessels which take
the course which the tug took seldom
are more than ten miles from shore
and frenquently within five miles.
H. u. Shaver. Superintendent of the
Government air field here. today re-
ceived orders from the Postmaster
General to enlist ar mail machines IN
the search for the Cornell.

Although 1t Is not generally known
that Uncle Sam Is in the gulde-book
business, one Of the most interesting
aides to motorist routes throughout
the Golden West" is that recently
published by the United States geo
logical survey.
The great variety Of mountain seen
cry to be found In Colorado and the
panoramas Of the plateaus and des-
erts of Utah, Is the theme Of the lat
est addition to the series which the
geological survey has been publishing
at intervals since 1915. Specifically.
the route described follows that OF the
Denver < Rio Grande Western rail-
read from Denver TO Salt Lake city.
The guide book, which may be oh.
tanned at the department for 81. not
only treats of the scenery, RESOURCES
and human activities of the region
traversed, but explains the forms VI
che mountains, plains and canyons
along the route. how they have been
developed by the ancient terrestrial
forces. :.
Describes Rock Strata.
1t describes the rock strata which
underlle the country and which have
controlled the forms OF the landscape.
Many OF the beds of these rocks are
most interesting, for they contain the
remains Of strange animals, now eI.
tinct, that roamed the country ages
ago.
The skeletons Of great monsters
have been unearthed In many places
along the route, and even their tracks
preserved in sandstone have been
found.
The rocks ALSO contain The metal
liferous ores that have made Colorado
and Utah famous the world over and
have added untold millions Of dollars
to the country's wealth. The guide
book gives interesting expositlons OF
these rocks and precious minerals, de.
scribed by mineraloglsts and geolo
gists. The history Of the mining re-
glons passed along the route forms
one of the most fascinating and adj.
venturous chapters in the country
own history. The most interesting of
the old camps described is possibly
Leadvllle, where great wealth in lead,
silver, gold and zinc was produced.
Shows Reelamations.
The changes that the wizard water

ton service, also are seen In the Utah
deserts and described In the tourists
book. The work OF the forest service
In conserving the country's great TIM
Der preserves Is also to be seen along
the route and is easier TO be enjoyed
through the descriptions In the book
Some OF the most interesting pages
are those which sound like dime nov.
els Of boyhood days, wherein the war
between the Denver x Rio Grande
and the Santa Fe railroads in 1878.
1880, for the possession of the Royal
gorge. key in railroad routes
through the mountains, is graphically
described. This was real war, too
/ for much blood was shed, many thou.
sands OF dollars Of property destroyed
and many legal words flung about
courthouses before the matter was
finally settled. AS a result, both
sides won, apparently, for while the
Denver & Rio Grande won possession
Of the gorge, 1t lost its right of ex'
tending its lines to the southwark.
