AMERICANS DO Big
WORK ON PREPARATIONS

Paris-(A. Po-While the United
States government has limited it's
activities in the reparations embrog-
lilo to an official observer, and, since
the Versailles treaty has watched the
problem as it became more intricate
day by day, there has been little
group of Americans here for the past
four years who have taken anything
but minor part in the vast work of
the reparation commission.
This unheralded little group con-
Stitutes the staff of accountants with
the commission, and is headed by
George p. Auld, formerly an officer
of the United States navy, who holds
the post of accountant general. He
is responsible directly to the COM
mission for the completeness and ac-
curacy of all financial records having
to do with the receipt and disburse
ment of money and commodities
handed over by Germany
The position of Mr.. Auld with the
commission is entirely individual, as
he has no connection with the United
States or any other government. His
staff of about 20 Americans comes
under the same classification.
The task of the accountancy depart
ment is one of the most difficult of
the commissions work. To strike
its daily and monthly balances, it
must deal with ships, livestock, |
abandoned war material, rolling |
stock, coal and coke, dyestuffs, and
q score of other commodities, as we'll |
as the actual cash. payments of Ger
man gold marks. When the balance !
sheet has been tailed, it is necessary |
20 render the totals in marks, pounds,
francs, lires and dollars. The COM
modify valuations have been made in
nearly all the currencies of Europe,
is we'll as in dollars.

CHERRY CROP BRINGS
REAL MONEY To MOSCOW

Young &c Wells, Spokane buyers.
are loading their twelfth car of
cherries at this place today, accord
ing to l.. w Wells, who is in charge
of the business at this place. Mr..
Wells states that he has been most
agreeably surprised at the crop in the
vicinity of Moscow, never dreaming
that the quantity of cherries were
available here that have been de-
livered this season The company
will have paid out more than twenty
thousand dollars to Moscow growers
by the end of the week, which puts
the cherry industry among the i'm
portant side lines on the Moscow
farm.
Mr.. Wells states that the cherries
are for the most part of excellent
quality. Illustrating this he said
that he had shipped a car from Mos
COW, and a car from another point,
which he did not name, to the same
market, pricing the other car 10
cents a box below the Moscow car,
and at that having it refused while
the Moscow product was eagerly
snapped up.
This is only an ordinary years for
cherries, Mr. Wells states, and ex-
presses the belief that the industry
will be one of Importance in the
Moscow district within a short time
1t will be remembered that arrange
ments were made last spring for the
planting of a number of cherry or
chardS in this territory

Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, in an
address before the Baptist World AL
lance upon Training an Evange-
llst1c Ministry" Evangelism is the
chief mission of the Holy Spirit" the
speaker continued. and true evange-
lism in the churches is a preserver
and conservator of all that lies at the
heart of the kingdom of God.
There are some great principles
involved in the training of an evange-
listic ministry One of them is, there
is no inconsistency between high
scholarship and the most fervent
evangelism, and the other is that with
every Christian a soul-winner and
every church an evangelistic church
the day of worldwide redemption
would be greatly fastened
Every Christian school should
offer courses in evangelism for all
its students and every theological
seminary should have a department
of evangelism on an equality in i'm
portance with any other department.
The spirit of evangelism should per-
wade all of the teachings of all theo-
logical seminaries.
Some glorious results would fol-

Ask Gas Tax Refund

Idaho's new gasoline tax law struck
the first knot in it's operation Mon
day, when there was filed with E. G.
Gallet, state auditor, claims for re-
funds under the law amounting to
more than $100. The law provides
that the tax shall be collected on all
gasoline sold, but that certain users
are exempt. Gasoline used in dry
cleaning establishments is exempt
from the tax, and the majority of the
claims filed Monday were for refunds
on gasoline purchased for this USE
