NEED OE MISSION WORK SHOWN OY PASTORINSERMON Rev, Fackler Urges Support for Those Who Toil in Foreign Lands, "It Is not only in heathen lands that we find people Ignorant of the gospel and despising the saving truth,” the Rev. Louis C. E. Fackler stated Sunday in a sermon observing missionary Sunday at St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church. "Today,” he said, "we place our offering upon the altar with the confidence that we are trying to carry out the Lord’s command. ‘Go ye into all the worjd and preach the gospel to all nations.’ "Can there be any person who truly callß himself a Christian who fails to recognize the importance of carrying the word of god to others? We as Christians know, at least in word, the clear commands which the Lord has spoken. "We are impressed by the words of God, but not as much as if we could see with our own eyes the dejected state in which the heathen are existing and the great need that they have of the word of God. "The Lord did not give this great work of converting the heathen to angels.. On certain occasions the heavenly messengers spoke to man. But God told many: ‘Ge ye into all the world and preach the gospel.’ "The new song of which the Psalmist sings is that which never grows old. Although the comforts of God are from of old, they never get old; they are always new. Therefore, our songs shall always be new. We shall sing them with renewed spirt and earnestness. "These praises which we offer are not to the gods of this wcrld or to some imaginary being or to ourselves. These praises are to be offered unto the true and living God. The one who created the heavens and the earth, the God who gave us our being and blesses us. The God who bos prepared salvation for those that believe in Him and will condemn those that will not believe His truths.” BUTLER GRADUATE TO SPEAK Daniel Hastings, Missionary, Will Give Series of Talks.

SCORES OF USES FOR ELECTRICITY BQNGOISCOVERED Local Concern Builds SuperPower Plant to Serve Public Need, An electrical survey recently made shows that up until the beginning of 1923 oniy 6.6 per cent of the wordd’s population had at its command the luxury of electricity. Among the nations, the United States stands first in the actual number of people who use it, and even here only 36.5 per cent live in electrically lighted homes. One can readily realize from these figures that the field is capable of infinite expansion. The millions of homes which do not yet know Its advantages are yet to be supplied. These, and the many more in which electricity means only electric lighting, have still to learn the endless possibilities of the servant of man. It has already been adapted to the performance of the heaviest of household tasks, to innumerable businesses of the farm and countless other duties. But all this invention and ingenuity would be meaningless without the Immense enterprises which make a business of converting vast natural resources into the electric power needed ltl home and industry. An example of the progress In this fifeld la represented by the devel >- menta being made by the Indiana Electric Corporation, owned by the Central Indiana Power Company, whjch is building on a S.Jde acre coal fleia on the bangs of the Wabash River a <*u-per-power plant with an eventual generating capacity of 100,000 kilowatts Not the least important feature of this development is that much of it Is being achieved by the investment of the company’s customers, employes and general publio. This U the highly desirable plan known as customer ownership, by means of which those who actually buy the company's service have the profits returned to them.
CEMENT BLOCKS SUPPLANT BRICK New Composition Possesses Beauty and Durability, Notwithstanding the fact that the building buslr.osS ha* had a year of unprecedented activity, it ha* been an outstanding feature of the business that an Increasingly large percentage of builders are constructing buildings of material* of a permanent character. This situation has led to the perfection of many resistant building materials. Block-O-Brick is the name that ha* been given to a unit suitable for use In the construction of houses, storerooms, filling stations and other business buildings. It is the highest grade of cement block with a faot that closely resembles the most expensive brick. A richer mixture Is used than that of the ordinary cement block, but the unit ha* the same advantage that the cement block has In regard to ease with which it may be put into place. The material cost end the labor cost are Just about one-half of the cost of the ordinary brick, yet it possesses the same encfurlng qualities. It has strong moisture resistance and splendid insulation faculties. "It 1s splendid for use not only in the construction of new houses but in the remodeling of old ones. Its convenient size makes it easily adaptable for columns, chimneys, fireplaces and items of this sort,” says C. E. Phillips, secretary and manager of the company.

Hoosier Farmer Loses 10.6 Cents on Wheat Bushel, Grower Says
The Hoosier farmer, is losing 10.6 cents on every bushel of wheat, according to an elaborate analysis of grain conditions by A. C. Thomas, New Harmony, Ind., wheat dealer, sent to the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, Indianapolis. The Governor’s profits In 1914, were 23 cents, representing a normal percentage, Thomas stated. In 1917 waxdemands boosted profits a bunhel to (1.0835.

BUSINESS PACE OFFERS MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR Haney Declares September Showing Indicates Steady Return to Normal, By LEWIS H. HANEY. Director of the Bureau of Business Research, New York University. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. —As we end the first week in October and look back over the critical month of September there is much to be thankful for. In several Important respect* the domestic world i* more nearly normal than at any time in the last ten years. With the general level of wholesale prices firm or rising, with such Important indication* us a reduction in the number of business failures and with montey rates normal, It seems safe to say that stable business conditions are in prospect for the remainder of the year and Chat the outlook is for an upswing in business early in 1924, Prices Hold Firm In the first place after a long decline the general level of price* has held firm for the second month in succession. In fact, during September there was an average advance in wholeeale prices of about 1.8 per cent. This condition promises to lend assurance to business and should encourage forward buying. I wo'Ud particularly call attention to the higher general level of agricultural price*. Breadstuff advanced about 4 per cent during September and the provision group ha* also went up. With wheat at |l.uS at Chicago, even the wheat farmer can feel a little more hopeful. The country Is to be congratulated on the fact that the President is dealing so widely with the various unwise proposals made to “aid” the wheat farmers. In the third place the more favor able showing made by the itatistlcs business failures deserves & leading rlace in the present outlook. This is not only the smallest number for any month since November of 1920, but it Is only a little more than the number which Is normal for the month. Another Indication of sound business conditions Is the Interest rate. Taking the rate on prime commercial paper as most representative, we find that it 1* almost exactly normal. At 6<4 per cent commercial paper ha* been a little higher than the August average, but normally rates advance at this time. Business Birth Rate High In mentioning failures, the volume of new business enterprise*—the business b! th rate—might be considered. The data compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce show that during September new concerns having a total capitalization of (601,006.000 were incorporated. Thin compares with (335,000,000 in August and may be taken as Indicating a somewhat greater hopefulness in the business outlook.
BATTERY CHARGING THAT HAND Undercharged Batteries Are In Danger of Freezing, The winter season Is fast approaching and it behooves every motorist to see that his storage battery is in the best of condition. They should be tested and if weak should bo charged at once. If this pecaution 1b not observed, some frosty morning the driver will find that his car will not start. The Colvin Battery Company, 121 H. Maryland St., makes a specialty of testing batteries and years of experience have made them experts in this kind of work. This company puts out a battery of superior type. There are already 2,400 of these batterie* In use In the city of Indianapolis, and that they have given service and satisfaction Is a faot established without question. The batteries carry a two-year guarantee to safeguard the purchaser. The batteries are built With the Idea of giving all possible service and the reoords of their performances have proved their worth. F. A. Colvin, manager and owner, reports that their use of hard rubber one-piece battery boxes came after it had been proved that the wood boxes could not stand the strain the strong acids and battery solution subjected them to. "In order that the customer may
of Supply and Demand,’” Thomas declared. ■ a ' "Any movement toy organizations, co-operation or manipulation to place a fictitious value upon that commodity will fall eventually.’’ Some specific suggestions for improvement, by the legislative branch, are made by Thomas: 1. Lower taxes. 2. Reduce transportation rates. 3. Do away with the protective tariff. His crop statements are based upon land worth (100 an acre for years 1914 and 1917 and $l2O an acre fox 1928. - , -
