Here's Unique Plan for
Raising Church Funds

At least one society Of women In a
leading church Of the city, perhaps
societies in other churches, has decid-
ed to raise funds for its church In a
way that Is novel, If not unique, to say
the least. The total amount realized
would be well up in the thousands Of
dollars IL figures tell the true story
and the women carry through to the
end.
One woman invites seven friends to
luncheon and explains the plan. Each
Is to pay 80 cents, and the hostess
may pay or not as she pleases; but 1t
is believed If she furnishes the lunch
con she would be exempt.
Each Of the seven invites six. which
would make AZ guests at SO cents each
Then each Of the AZ invites five, max
ing 30; and each Of the 30 invites
four, making $40.
The number Of guests dfntnfshes
until the last hostess would have only
one to entertain. but there would be
more than 5000 Of these parties for
one.-Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.

Really Safes Contents
We're "Ouer a Million

Latimer had great difficulty in flnd-
ing just the right sort Of Office space
that would suit his requirements.
Searching about the city from the
Battery to Fifty-ninth street he final
ly discovered what he wanted. This
Office was one fight up and directly
over bank. The bank owning the
building, Latimer was compelled to
call on the president Of the bank In
regard to the rent lease and other
particulars. After these formalities
were amiably settled he noticed
large safety vault.
"How much money Is there In the
vault" he inquired Of the president.
"About $1,OOO,0OO." was the answer.
When Latimer moved into his new
Office he had his small secondhand
safe placed exactly over the spot
where the vault below was located.
Soon customers arrived and con-
graduated him on securing such an
excellent location.
An old friend who never had much
faith In Latimer's business ability
called and, seeing the safe in the mid
die of the Office, asked:
slow much money have you got In
that old safer"
II don't know exactly" answered
Latimer, ''but it's over million, any
way"
And literally 1t was.
I'M l~Hk
ing that he could not understand how
that shrimp had accomplished so much
money.-New York Evening World.

RAPID DECLINE IN
MILK PRODUCTION

The rapid decline in milk produc-
ton as the summer advances Is the
result Of q combination Of factors, says
@. B. Bender, assistant dairy hus-
bandman at the New Jersey College
Of Agriculture, New Brunswick. Chief
among these is the poor condition of
pasture.
In many regions a drought in mid
summer causes tough and woody pas
ture. The result is that the COW, es-
pecially If producing a liberal amount
Of milk, doesn't get sufficient food and
loses flesh by trying to keep up pro-
duction. Finally the production de-
clines, slowly at first and then more
rapidly as conditions become extreme.
Records from creameries show that
for 100 pounds Of milk delivered June
l there are only 46 pounds delivered
August 1.
Flies may be slight factor, but
their Importance is overestimated.
The flies and the hot weather are
factors in SO far as they both dis
courage the animals from grazing.
If kept on pasture the cows should
be turned out to Craze during the
early morning and late evening. The
growing Of soiling crops may be q
good practice. Grain is an effective
means Of holding up production, but
it is an expensive practice to the ex-
tent that the grain replaces grass.
Silage Is not a complete ration, but
1t may be used alone to supplement
pastures. If conditions are such that
most Of the feed has to be supplied
outside of pastures, then the feeding
should be practically the same as in
winter.
If the production Of the herd drops
to a marked degree during the sum-
mer 1t cannot be brought back to the
point where It should be. Therefore,
to insure paying fall production, it
is highly important to keep up the
milk flow during the summer, even
though there may be no immediate
profit

Records of Contrasting
Association Are Exact

Yearly milk and butterfat produc-
ton as determined in cow-testing asso-
Citations by weighing and testing one
days production each month Is accu-
rate within very small per cent, says
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. To determine the accuracy
Of the cow-testing association method
Of calculating yearly production, the
department made study Of the actual
yearly production records Of 20 cows
Of the Minnesota experiment station.
These Minnesota records gave the pro-
duction of milk and butterfat for each
milking throughout the year.
By Systematically picking out the
weights and tests for one day each
month as they would have been OBJ
tanned by cow-testing association
methods and thus calculating the year
ly production it was found that the
association method was accurate with
in per cent on milk production and
within per cent on production Of
butterfat.
A tabulation was also made Of 100
yearly individual COW records from the
department farm at Beltsville, Nd.
These records gave only the milk pre-
duction night and morning for each
day in the year. A yearly total calcu-
lated from one days record each
month. when compared with the actual
milk production showed an accuracy
within 1.99 per cent. These compare
sons indicate that the method used in
cow-testing association work gives q
very accurate record Of production.

'ason for Belief
in Lost Continent

Does the Atlantic ocean roll over q
lost continentf LIE Plongeon, who
deciphered the hieroglyphics among
the ruins of Yucatan, In Central Amer
lea, came upon inscriptions describing
q catastrophe which submerged the old
Atlantean continent, legends Of which
have survived In literature from the
earliest times.
It may be that this catastrophe gave
rise to the equally widespread belief
in the food which destroyed the early
Inhabitants Of our planet. Certain 1t
Is that the American continent, al
though called the New world, Is
geologically the oldest land on the
globe, and the monuments found in
the jungles Of Yucatan were ancient
when the pyramids Of Egypt were
built.
The catastrophe Is supposed to have
taken place about 5000 B. O., and at
that time there was highly organ
lied civilization in Yucatan, which
would seem to be remnant Of the
lost continent. It Is not very large

On With the Story

"You don't seem to have any noto-
rious spots here" said an inQuiring
tourist to the native guide. I'm the
last village we stopped at they showed
us a place where a man had laid in
wait for his rival in love and attacked
him with fiendish gusto.
The guide had really never heard Of
this remarkable crime, but his profess
sional jealousy was aroused.
''That Is quite true, SIR" he unblush-
ingly bore witness, shut you, perhaps,
are not aware that the villain after
ward made his escape in this direction,
and you are now standing on the very
spot where he threw away the fiendish
gusto with which he made the fearful
attack."-Edinburgh Scotsman.

OREGON SCHOOL ACT
Up IN HIGH COURT
Constitutional Phase of Com
pulsory Education Proposal
Is Orally Argued.

The compulsory education law OF
oregon, requiring that after Septem-
Der OF next year all children between
the ages of and Is. with a few eX-
ceptions, shall attend public schools,
was reached in the Supreme Court to-
day for oral argument in two cases
brought by the State to have set aside
the injunction of the Federal District
Court against its enforcement.
Although IL was thought the cases
might not bring a sweeping opinion
from the court on the constitutional
right of States TO control the educa-
tion of children within their borders
the controversy has attracted wide
attention in educational and religious
circles.
Array of Counsel
The array of counsel brought into
court included former Senator George
U. Chamberlain, w. s. Moore, A. II,
Putney and P. Q. Nyce, for the State;
William d. Guthrie, for the Society
of the Sisters of the Holy Names OF
Jesus and Mary. and John c. Neach,
for the Hill Military Academy.
In argument prepared for today,
counsel for the States pointed out
that in the lower court the challenge
of the law was based upon the char
the State. Contending that the in
junction had been based largely upon
the assumption that the property
rights of the parochial and private
schools granted by the State would be
impaired by the requirement that
children should attend public schools.
They took the position that the court
in deciding the issue should ignore
the investments of private schools.
w e
suit from the exercise of a proper
governmental function by the State
did not constitute an unlawful taking
of property.
Arguments for AppelIecs.
Counsel for the sppellees, on the
other hand, based their argument on
the contention that the new school
law violated the natural rights of
liberty and property secured by the
Constitution: that 1t amounted to d
denial of the rights by those follow
ing the useful occupation of conduct
ing a school; violated parental control
over children and exceeded the po
lice power of the State. There was
a contractural right of those char
tered by the State to conduct private
schools, they further held, which the
State could not take away.
The real purpose of the new law
was described by the attorneys for
the private schools is one to COM
pletely destroy private primary
schools in the State. Insisting that
should this be permitted, secondary
schools, colleges and universities
could also be brought under State
control, counsel for the schools con-
tended this would mean that only
those subjects could be taught and
those theories and doctrines expound-
ed which the State approved.
The Seventh-day Adventists and
the Domestic and Foreign Missionary
Society of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, as friends of the court, filed
briefs attacking the school law.
