Trouble Ahead for
the Coffee Trade

The next six months will see more
bad coffee dumped into the United
States than ever before IN the His
tory Of the coffee business.
Brazil controls the Coffee Market
Of the world, because she produces
65 to 20 per cent of all the coffee
grown. The Brazilian Government
also controls the output of the plant
ers and thereby directly dominates
the situation. We must take what
ever coffees she wants to give US and
we must pay almost any price that
she wishes to ask.
The 1928 Brazil Crop was ex-
ceedingly large, totally probably 49,
100000 bags of Santos and 100000
bags Rios, Vics, etc.
Consequently every buyer, large and
small, expected to see very low prices
during the Fall of 1923 and most OF
1924. Therefore, during 1928 every
importer and rooster in the u. 5.
bought on a strictly hapd-to- mouth
basis. AS result, for a long time
we have had no surplus stocks in this
country to, fall back on. NJ
Brazil knows this. She knew it be-
fore we did. She figured out long
time ago exactly what was going to
happen to us. We thought Brazil was
not strong enough to fight us finan-
cially but we were wrong. The
Brazilian Government has been and
will continue to restrict Santos tC
$4,000 bags a day. 100000 a year
every bag of which is needed to
satisfy the Worlds actual require
mentS.
According to Brazilian laws-very
strictly enforced-no more than these
$4,000 bags of good, bad and rotter
Santos can be shipped each day
Selection of quality is not permitted
Every lot, no matter how good OF
how bad it might be, must take it:
regular turn in going forward to the
market. A great deal of bad coffee
has already been shipped us ant
there is plenty more of it coming.
The government plays no favorite:
PLANTERS of poor coffee get lid o.
their stock just as those who grow
good coffee. There is absolutely NJ
chance Of quality selection. Just 35,
900 bags are released each day ant
these must be used up just as the!
are.
To make matters still worse To-
the coffee trade, the Brazilian crop
a total of about Is million bags be

Experienced Actors
Need Good Director

The young and inexperienced actor
does not need direction half as much
as the leading man no longer in the
first, second or even third flush of gid
dy youth who has been in the habit of
browbeating the humble author and
the obsequious stage manager, and
who brings to his work in addition to
an inability to learn his lines, all the
old bad tricks of transforming days
and the determination to keep to the
middle OF the stage even if, like the
boy who stood on the burning deck, he
has killed the play stone dead.
The modern star, of course, stands
in need of elementary teaching with
every part that she essays. Other
wise the electric bulbs that blazen her
name over the entrance of the theater
pop, one after another, blackening the
lives of manager, author, company,
stage hands and all the other people
who hang about the theater for their
daily bread.-Cosmo Hamilton in the
Saturday Evening Post.

Missionary Heroism
f. j. Hudgel in the Christian
Herald.

I1eidAo
Why should we missionaries so otter
be looked upon even by our fellow
Americans as strange, innpractica
freaks who are rather to be pitiec
than otherwise, when we are simply
the natural, one might say, inevitable
fruits of Americas Christian institu
tions. her lofty ideals, her passion TO,
world betterment and world redemp
ton, her Christian homes, her churches
and her schools?
1t is often thought that the mis-
sionary would not be where and what
he is if some personal handicap hat
not closed for him the door to higf
achievement in either business or pro
! fessional life.
This idea in the light of the his
tory of missions is ridiculous.
As a boy l was great lover OF
thrilling stories of heroism and adj
! venture.
literally devoured such books as
The Count Of Monte Cristo," ant
''The Three Musketeers."
But not until finally in later life
got hold of the lives of such great
missionaries as Livingstone and Carey
and Morrison and Brainerd, was my
thirst for the heroic Quenched.
Here was adventure that made my
old Diamond Dick tales look like nur-
sery rhymes.
Here was achievement I had not
dreamed fell within the scope of man.
Here were heroes, real men of real
blood who had lived and died for a
great cause, the lachet of whose shoes
my old-time war-gods were not worthy
to unloose.
We missionaries are none the less
American because we have put Christ
first and have turned our backs upon
our native land to cast our lot with
the benighted peoples of pagan lands.
We owe, to no small degree, the fact
of our being missionaries TO our being
Americans.
Though in submerging ourselves in
the life, language, and customs of
another race, we have lost much that
Americans hold dear, we still swear
allegiance to the flag, still cling to the
traditions of the. land which gave us
birth, still claim her as our own, and
are still ready to offer up our lives In
her defense.
Though, of course, our primary aim
is to make known the Christ and
though the motive that compels us is
the conviction that we owe to others
what Christ is to us, still we are Am
orleans and all unconsciously live ana
move and have our being in minia-
ture America we can not leave behind.
There is so much about ner instltu-
tions, her ideals, her very life which
she owes to the Master and which was
born of His Spirit, that we feel that
we are none the less true missionaries
because we are 100 per cent Ameri-
can.

RICHMOND, Va, July 5.-Virginia
Masons are arranging for the building
of home for aged and tnfirm members
of the order-those who are without
homes. have no relatives and who are
sick and unable to care for themselves.
Grand Master Charles H. Callahan of
Alexandria has taken the lead, and the
movement is to provide this home as a
memorial to George w. Wright, former
grand master of Masons in Virginia.
August 29 has been fixed as the day for
the Inauguration of the campaign for
subscriptions. 1t is the plan to collect
not less than 100000 as the nucleus
of the fund.
The home is to be located at some
point convenient and accessible and will
be conducted along business lines. 1t
is said there are some fifty Masons who
are suffering from tuberculosis and
lack comforts and careful attention.
The Masons already have a home for
Masons orphans, located near this
city, which has been in operation for
many years and where several hun
dred children have been fed. clothed,
educated and trained, many of them
occupying positions of trust and re-
sponsibility and many of them at this
time identified with teaching in the
school system of the state. This home
is endowed and is supported by the
Masons of the state.
