VANCOUVER, Wash, March 11. (Spe cial.) That there is profit In church ad vertising is ths belief of Rev. J. At Canae. pastor of the Flrat Methodist Episcopal Church, of this city.

In these days of business and social exclte- I ment. It is essential that the church aory uriwi 111. puuitw w ...u " ... - there were no other reason, it were enough to advertise to Inform the throngs of strangers who are coming into our Western cities. These may not know where the churches ars located, even, hut for the publicity that la made of the various services. "Whatever advertising is found to bring the people to church should bs con sidered worth while. Ths better the ware the greater the chance for attrac tive methods and lasting results. Our 'men's meetings' last month wera pronounced among the 'greatest men's re llglous gatherings ever held in Van couver. We advertised In the news papers, by admission tickets, and on streetcars, tha sign. 'Jonah, Up-to-date. "We distributed a red blotter among tha business houses and professional men and these brought a number of letter of Inquiry and interest in this method of advertising. I am sure the blotters on the desks gave many a man a caution and upward thought. We alao have picture poatcarda giving tha story of our hlstorlo church, which our members and friends send out to inquirers. "I certainly have fonnd that adver tising pays, and shall keep It up." FERRY NEEDED; CROP AID Potato-Growers of Willamette Fore see Dumper 1911 Tleld. CANBT. Or., March 11. (Special.) Application haa been made by tha potato growers of this section to the County Court for the installation of a ferry across ths Willamette itiver st this plsce in order to facilitate the handling of the 1911 crop. Owing to the greatly lncreaaed acreage of potaUoea which tha farmera contemplate planting thla year, the ferry as a necesalty. Canby la their neareat shipping point. It Is estimated by W. H. Bajr, who handles most of ths crop from here and Is known as ths Potato King' of Cronby, that this aea aon fully eutiO acrea In the Immediate vicinity will bs planted to Bur-banks. This year ths Canby potato growers propose to mulch their potatoes, as ths experiments by the United States Gov ernment sra flattering and the yield as much greater. If properly mulched with straw which should bs applied be fore a rain the crop will need- no culti vation. The mulch thus applied breaks the force of the descending rain and pre vents the packing of the soil, thus letting the moisture slowly Into ths soil. Ths potatoes U1 come up through the mulch snd flourish and never be troubled with weeds.

NEW TORK. March 11. (Special.) A thousand drivers and helpers em ployed by the Adams Express Com pany, employed in New Tork and Jersey City, walked put on strike this room ing,' and tha company's business In this community was tied up for tha day. Indications for tonight were that the strike, the second In leas than three months, would extend to all th. companies comprising the "Big Five" the American, United States. Wells- Fargo, National and Adams unless the companies accede to the strikers' de mands. The demands of the strikers aa stated by Howard Brlgrsjs, secretary of Local No. 437, of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which com prises the express drivers, are three: 1 That .very employe discharged by the companies sines ths strlks last Fall be restored to his former position, ss was agreed, th. strikers say, when that strike was settled. Walking Delegates Assert Rights. 2 The companies permit the busi ness agents and committees of the union free access to their premises at all times. g That no club or other association of employes other than ths union be allowed by the companies. These demands th. companies are wholly unwilling to meet. They go further and declare that tha ttma has coma for fighting out th. disputes which wera only temporarily settled at the conclusion of th. last strike. It Is known that the companies have been making preparations for a struggle which they knew to be In evitable. An officer of one of th. companies said today that it would not be with strikebreakers that the companies would meet the strikers this time. The strikebreakers employed In th. recent strike proved too expensive, ha said, to encourage a repetition of that experiment. Their thefts and In juries to property amounted to more than their wages. This1 time, the offi cers declared, tha companies will take the field with a force of men who have seen service as soldiers, police men, cowboys and others who are ac customed to the use of firearms and ths fight will be "to kill." Strikers Determined, Too. Th. strikers, on the other hand, ap pear equally determined. They accuse the companies of breach of faith and a systematlo effort to destroy the union. Specific charges - were made today against George Pendleton, assistant general agent of th. Adams Company In Broklyn, that hs compelled all the drivers and helpers who applied to him for work to take off their union buttons before giving to them employ ment. This action,, the men" say, Is In direct violation of the promise made by tha companies last Fall. There was a slight show of violence today. On. wagon was stopped by a group of men and tha guards and driver were beaten. In the commotion the horses ran away and galloped back to the stables. A few minutes later Edward Stone, another driver, was held up and ths harness was cut DELAWARE WILL GO EAST Warship at Valparaiso Not to Take Part in Naval Demonstrations. VALPARAISO.
