The wheat on this quarter section turned out 3261 bushels of the finest grain of which the church realized a two-thirds share. After all expenses had been paid the church realized a net balance of $1385.97 which was later aug mented bya donation of $22.22 made by the man who hauled the wheat, swelling the total net reve nue to $1406.19- ' The labor was given free by the people who had the interest of the church at heart and the result is eeen not only in the money raised but in the new solidarity of the membership which this activity has caused. The good feeling that existed from the day the field was planted until the grain was har vested and sold Was evidenced by the fact that there were those that did not belong to the Methodist church or any other church who willingly put their shoulders to the wheel and helped the cause. It is indeed a remarkable achieve ment and done worthy of repeti tion. Apart fro mbeing a credit able financial undertaking in it self it is a welcome departure from CURED HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting Iriink serrral years ago. Doctors said 1117 only hope of cure was an operation. Trux srs did me no good. Finally I got hold of comething that quickly and completely cured me. Yearn have passed and the rupture has neftr returned, although I am doing hard work a a carpenter. There, was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I hare nothing to Kelt, but will full in'ormation about how you may find complete cure without operation, if yon write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter i!28L ilarccllus Avenue. Alanaaquan, X. J. Jtetter cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured you may save a life or a least atop the misery of rupture and tin worry and danger of an operation. Adv. the usual bazaars', ice cream" so cials and other revenue-raising events, on which the churches so often have to depend for their very existence. Another instance comes to our notice. Last year, the Rev. H. M. Melton, pastor of the Baptist church of Bluff ton. Georgia, in duced seven planters to sign the following agreement:, , "We, ;the undersigned farmer members1 of the Blurfton Baptist church, hereby agree to plant, cul tivate and harvest one acre from our farm, said acre to be known as. the Lord's acre. We agree to turn the proceeds of said acre In to a 'committee appointed by the church, j They are to dispose of same and distribute! the funds de rived from it in such a way as we may instruct." - The Boll weevil did its worst that year but it touched not the Lord'sr acres. One planter grew a bale of cotton on his Lord's acre, which he did not even spray with calcium arsenate. "It is in the Lord's hands," said he. As a re sult of this little experiment, this year Bapt'st headquarters in At lanta were amazed to find that 100 churches in Georgia had in stituted the Lord's acre idea, mak ing a total of 500 aeres, from which the" yield is expected to be at least $20,000. Surely these are commendable undertakings and serve to stabilize church finances. Parrish Paragraphs By ROSE FOLGER Older Boys' Conference at Dallas Promises Success ' DALLAS, Noy. 22.

The Silverton Appeal has had a dream and it is a bright one for Silverton. ; 1 It wants a new county, a legitimate want. But let the Appeal tell its own story and make its own case. j "An idea was brought to the at tention of the writer a few days ago, which after some considera tion looks very reasonable. The thought presented was the propo sition of dividing Marion county, making Silverton the huh. Marion county is large, in fact 'it is so To!

MILLER large that it really should be di vided in order to equalize the priv ileges and development 'to which it is entitled and should have. "By way of a starter and as a matter for argument, we would suggest that the township line be tween ranges 1 and 2 west be the dividing line, also taking in the southeast portion of Clackamas county, a portion the residents of which, by the way, has desired for a long time to be attached to Mar ion. -: In other words all of the countyjying east of the township line above mentioned and with the portion of, Clackamas which really wants to be adopted by us, a new county could be formed that would be a credit to the state. This plan1 has many virtues. - In the first place, this part of the county as it now stands can never expect a great deal in the way of development so long as the center of power rests with our neighbors to the west of us. ' Then, that por tion of Clackamas county which we are willing to annex can never, by virtue of its location ever ex pect any material help from the powers that be in their county. . "In forming a new county. with Silverton as the county seat, there is a wonderful future in store for this end of the county. . "This Is a matter well worth considering . . . .
