there are only ten out-chapels, but
openings for many more so soon as
there are evangelists to take over
the work.
The present temporary station
house, made of mud, has now served
its purpose and is getting unsafe tc

with the natives burning a kiln o.

we know are still at large.
Three tarantulas have been killed
this week. We have had lovely rains
for our gardens. The insects have
destroyed a good percentage and
since then the buffalos, wild pigs,
balloons and monkeys have been COM
ing around for their shart. Some
one says the time for elephants is
not far away, so we do not known
from time to time whether we have
corn stalk, a cabbage head or an
elephant foot growing in our garden.
We haver emoved many jiggers from
our toes. We are not always free
from malaria.
The cook wanted to surprise me
and show me how much he can now
do on his own, so he cooked bit
of treasured bran flakes together
with oatmeal. In addition, we have
had pigeon shanks, antelope steak,
partridge ribs, and guinea necks.
There is leper camp in the neigh

our closest white neighbors.

have been attending Sunday services

One chief has just come saying that
he has had three wives, but has now
put two of them aside, could he
come to the station for training and
then become an evangelist?
Fourteen have professed to accept

have expressed their desire to live

College Closes
Financing Plan

Completion of four year re-financ-
ing plan under which outstanding
Bluffton college obligations aggregat-
ing in excess of 100000 were liqui-
dated was announced the first of the
week by ID. w. Bixler, special fnan-
cial agent in charge of this work.
The indebtedness consisted of bank
obligations, annuities and claims OF
unsecured creditors.
Of 100000 due unsecured creditors
there was paid 45fo from proceeds
from collection of notes, pledges and
other assets set aside for this pur.
pose by the college. At the close
of the four years work of collection
the remaining uncollected assets in
this group have been re-purchased by
] the college.
Collection on pledges and notes viii
continue, bat payments made on these
obligations will go into the regular
operating and endowment funds o.
the college.
A scaling down of annuity obliga
tions was also made with annuitant
on a percentage basis.
When the refnancing began, tn,
college owed $36,610 to various bank
/ in this area. BY means of settle
ment arranged last week with To
ledo bank, these obligations hav'
been reduced to S2,773.
The chief Indebtedness of the col
lege is in the form of bonds. Fou
years ago the par value of outstand
ling bonds totaled S101, ,750. Toda.

War Won't SQlUe
Farm, Problems

Ohio farmers shouldn't depend too
much on the European situation to
solve their problems, in the opinion
of Ohio State University's Bureau
of Business Research.
"It appears that the solution of
our agricultural problems must be
found in terms of the factors which
affect the domestic distribution of
our own production" the Bureau
says in its current bulletin.
"There has been some evidence OF
optimism due to the feeling that
Europe will soon have to import
food products from the United States
and that, with the increased demand
prices will consequently rise.
at should not be forgotten, how
ever, that prices of agricultural pro-
ducts did not rise appreciably unit
1917, two years after the beginning
of the World War. In addition
there are now many more sources OF
supplies than were available in
1857.

State highway officials point out
that a wise motorist will not cross
the yellow line when it is on his
side of the white or black center
line on the pavement.
Where the yellow stripe is on the
other side of the center line, opposite
to the lane in which a motorist is
driving, he may cross the yellow line
in safety.
A total of 5000 miles of Ohio
highways are being marked for
safety this year, and it is expected
that traffic accidents will be reduced
considerably if motorists observe
recommended precautions in driging.

Via Egypt, Sudan & Aba
April 25, 1910
Dear Christian Friends:
at is just about three months
since we arrived at Maitulu and are
pretty well settled by now. We have
been rushed from the first day or
and it looks as though there will al
ways be lots to do.
We are in a primitive work where
conditions are still very much in the
beginning. 1t is only eight year;
now since the African Inland Mission
first gave out the gospel message
among these people. Three tribes
are represented, the Pygmies, Nam
butu and the Wolese.
They used to be cannibals and
some of them still are. On the mis-
sion site is huge rock where they
used to feast on human flesh. The
remains of these occasions are left
and bear vivid testimony to these
gruesome feasts. 1t is now carried
on in secret only, until they are
found out, which has been the case
not so long ago. A secret order was
also discovered. Members have a
certain sign carved on the hand and
in order to become fully recognized
member he must first have eaten Che
big toe of a human being.
Here is a brief insight into our
mission life. The lions have roared
in the distance, this is the home OF
the leopards and many have beer
around, the pinching ants have raid
ed us three times, once getting us
out of bed at o'clock in the morn
ing and we battled with them for ar
hour before they took their depar

Smoking Most Frequent Cause OF
Fires Insurance Survey Reveals

Smoking is revealed as the most
frequent cause of fires in a survey
completed recently by the National
Fire Protection association, altho the
greatest monetary toll is from fires
of electrical origin.
In 1913, the year covered by the
completed survey, 10000 fires were
caused by smoking, with a loss of
14,s00,000.
Fires of electrical origin were
fourth in number, but the total loss
of $23, 100000 topped the damage
from blazes of any other single cause

When girl is picking out a hus-
band she rarely takes his occu-
patton into consideration except to
hope that 1t will bring in enough
Of the needful to provide her with
silver fox furs; otherwise 1t does
not seem to her to matter whether
he is butcher or baker or candle
stick maker.
This casual view, however, of
hubby's job seems to be a mistake,
for some learned psychologists, who
have been delving into the subject,
have discovered that the happiness
of married couple depends almost
as much upon the mans occupation
as 1t does upon whether he drinks
or grouches, or has . wandering
foot.
Hence 1t is well for every girl
contemplating matrimony to con-
slider carefully the advantages and
the drawbacks Of the occupation of
the go-getter who is asking her to
be his. And for her benefit offer
the following tips:
There Is aviation, for instance.
Few women can resist a uniform,
and when one has wings on its
sleeves even the most hard boiled
OF them 60 ga-ga. The pilots of
the sky have everything that cap
lures the feminine fancy-courage,
power, thrills, danger-but unless
girl has iron nerves herself and
is no worrier she should never
marry an aviator.
The law, is a grand profession.
Full OF honors, carrying with it
social prestige, often profitable, It
seems q good bet, matrimonially
speaking. The girl who marries a
lawyer gets husband of whom she
can be proud and an educated and
intelligent companion, but the hitch
Is that unless she lacks all of the
natural curiosity of her sex she
will work herself to death trying
to worm out of him the salty
secrets about his clients that he
will not tell her.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have an old three-quarter size
rope bed made Of light colored wood
which has never been finished. I
am wondering just when this type
OF bed was used, what kind Of wood
would it be and just how could
have 1t refinished. Would it be ex-
pensive? I would like to find pieces
to match the bed. Would this be
difficult and expensive?
MRS. J. P. P.
Answer-George Washington had
rope bed during the early CAM
paigns Of the Revolution. They
could be taken apart, packed on a
horse and set up anywhere. In the
early Colonial days, beds were set
up at night in the living room, ex-
cept In the, most elaborate homes,
and springs were unknown. So your
bed may be very old, or 1t may be
quite recent, as you will find the
same type Of bed in use today in
the farmhouses Of Western Penn
sylvania and elsewhere. You can
Judge its age mainly by its design.
It is probably made Of pine, and
could be refinished beautifully in q
waxed soft natural wood finish. You
might do this at home, as it is not
difficult, but any shop would give
you reasonable price on 1t, as there
Is no old paint or finish to be re-
moved. The pine furniture which
comes from Pennsylvania and New
England would 60 very well with
your bed. Cherry or maple would
also be in keeping with it. These
pieces may be picked up at mod
crate prices, depending very often
on their condition and whether or
not you buy them already finished.
