Farmers living here have learned that
the axles of the famous X Y Z mower

The camp meeting crop is good this
season, the acreage exceeding that of all
former years. The thing to do now is to
form a trust on such institutions to con
trol the distribution ol religion. Indeed,
the initial step has been taken by the
Uan by Uampmeeting Association (Meth
odist) and the New Era Association

sion fee of 10 cents is charged. It does
not seem to me that an entrance fee is
in harmony with the "without-money-and-witliout-price"
doctrine, but un
doubtedly it is all clear enough to theo
logians. Some one has said that England se
cures tenitory Vy first sending a mis
sionary to look after the ratives, next a

will try to shed then' effulgence over im
perialism and its chief prophet.
