THE CHURCHES AND THE LEAGUE Senator Borah’s declaration that he would not vote for the league of nations “even if Jesus Christ asked him to do it” is in striding contrast to the hearty endorsement of the league by the great churches of the world. A total of 15,309 clergymen of various denominations has signed a petition, published in Christian Work, urging immediate ratification of the peace treaty, including the league of ■nations covenant without nullifying reservations. Only 816 of the clergy refused to sign* the appeal. Included among the signers are 4,019 Methodist pastors, 1,399 Congregational; 2,409 Presbyterian; 1,784 Baptists; 1,163 Christians, Disciples of Christ; 811 Episcopal; 644 Lutheran; 314 Catholic; 138 Universalist; 125 UnittHan, and 121 Jewish. The principles underlying the league have been endorsed by ten great religious organizations andconventions. Following are excerpts from resolutions adopted. THE NORTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION, MEETING AT BUFFALO, N. Y., JUNE 29-JULY 4,1920—“ Therefore, we, representatives of a rpiHion and a half of northern Baptists, in convention assembled, deeply deplore the failure of the ratification of the treaty of peace and covenant of the league of nations, thereby leaving the world In chaos, ignoring the plainly indicated desire . and will of the people and forfeiting our conceded leadersihp in world reconstruction.” We express our opinion that such great moral Issues should not be degraded to the plane of partisan politics, and respectfully urge upon our President and senate the ratification of the treaty with suitable reservations at the earliest moment. THE CONGREGATIONALISTS, GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., OCT. 21, 1919—“ Resolved, that the council favors the ratification and adoption of the peace treaty and the covenant of the league of nations without apendments and with only such reservations as shall strengthen the moral influence of the United States. Ths council supports the covenant as the only political instrument available by which the spirit of Jesus Christ may find a wider scope in practical application to the affairs of nations.” EPISCOPALIANS, LAMBETH CONFERENCE, LONDON, JULY 5 TO AUGUST 7,1920 —“ We commend to all Christian people the principles which underlie the league of nations, the most promising and the most systematic attempt to advance the ideal of the family of nations which has ever been projected.” METHODIST EPISCOPAL, DES MOINES, IOWA, MAY, 1920— “Surely we must commit our church to the principles that international troubles shall be adjusted by counsel and arbitration, not by guns and slaughter of men, that the nations of the world shall be bound together by a covenant of peace; that however It shall be brought about, such compromise should be made between the President and senate as shall secure, a real effective league of nations in which the United States shall have a proper and honorable place among the nations of the world In preserving the peace and bearing the burdens of the world.” UNITED PRESBYTERIANS, HASTINGS, KAS., JUNE, 1920— “Resolved, (1) That this assembly, without undertaking to place responsibility for the failure of America to Indorse the league of nations and to adopt a treaty of peace with those nations with Which we were at war, heartily indorses the principle of the league of nations. (2) That at a time like this, when some are crying for a nationalism that wholly belies our high duty and obligation to all the nations of the earth, we call upon our people to remember that Christian ideals can only come Into world power by their outspoken, unceasing and uncompromising devotion to them.” PRESBYTERIANS, U. S. A., PHILADELPHIA, MAY, 1920— “Resolutions urge America's early entrance into the league in order that (1) the charge that the United States is failing to keep faith with the allies be disproved, (2) That the tendency now'manifest among the nations to abandon the high ideals embodied in the league of nations and return to the methods of force and selfishness be checked.” • • REFORMED CHURCH, READING, PA., MAY 19-23, 1920— “Resolved, that this synod express itself as favoring the speedy ratification of the treaty of peace and participation in' the league of nations, being thoroughly convinced that some form of International covenant which seeks to prevent war is a moral necessity.” CONFERENCE OF JEWISH RABBIS, DURING THE /TIME OF THE.PARIS CONFERENCE, 1919—“8e it resolved, that the executive officers of this conference formulate a cablegram to President Wilson at Paris, giving him assurance of our fullest support in the establishment of a league of nations and in his strivings to • bring about a Just peace for mankind.” / BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH —The board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, charged with the responsibility of administering missionary enterprises among many races and peoples, desires to express the conviction that an early ratification of the peace treaty now pending, including a league of nations with such reservations as may be deemed necessary for a proper definition of our national obligations Involved, will greatly aid in restoring normal international refations upon a basis of law. The Issue is the League of Nations vs. Compulsory Military Training. Lay asidp partisan politics. Forget that you are Democrats, Republicans or Socialists oh the greatest of moral questions now before the world. ; Technical criticism of details may safely be satisfied by such amendment as experience may require. Holy Writ has been variously interpreted jby mankind for the past 2,000 yet its teachings underlie, dur present, civilisation. Our Constitution is differently construed by the ablest lawyers but its principlesremain the foundation of our liberty. » Think for yourselves, and your obligation to human- * ity. Consult Cod Almighty and your own conscience as to how to vote on the league of nations. The resolutions of the various churches are a safe guide and point the way. ‘ *

GOODLAND WOMAN DIES FROM INJURIES ANO SHOCK

(Continued from Fage Om)

the car, probably through the windshield, but as to this they did not know, as It all happened so quickly. Mrs. Gilman, who was crippled a number of years ago in a railroad wreck in which Mr. Gilman’s first wife (who was a daughter of Mrs. Wilson) was killed while going to California to attend an Epworth League convention, escaped with a number of bruises, but Mrs. Wilson was held fast by some of her clothing being caught under one of the wheels of the car. After trying unsuccessfully to release her, Mrs. Gilman wient to the house on the Kennedy farm to get help, but found that no one lived there, and she then came on east to the Range Line road and stopped the first person who came along, who happened to be George M. Myers of this city. In company with Mr. Myers she reJbrned to the wreck and they released Mrs. Wilson, MT. Myers then bringing both ladles to town. Mrs. Wilson was taken to the county hospital and Mrs. Gilman to the home of George W. Hopkins, the and Mrs. Hopkins having been schoolmates in Goodland several years ago. The car, while somewhat damaged about the front and windshield, was driven to Goodland

under its own power later. The road where the accident occurred Is not traveled nearly so much as the Range Line road,- yet it Is used considerably by people going to and from Brook and Goodland. It was therefore perhaps from a half to a full hour before assistance was secured and Mrs. Wilson released. During this time she lay exposed to the rain and was considered In quite a critical condition from the first. Her vjsible injuries consisted of a bad bruise about one eye, bruises about the chest and the lower part of the face. The doctors thought that it was also possible that one of the rear wheels of the car had passed over her chest. Mrs. Wilson was a pioneer resident of Goodland, her, husband having been one of Its early business men. He died several years ago, and’ she is survived by three children, Mrs. Will Bringham of Bloomington, Ill.; Mrs. T. C. Chattln of Union City, Ind., and Oscar Wilson of Chicago. Mrs. Gilman’s bruises were not so serious and gjie was taken to her home in Goodland Thursday afternoon.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent

Ear-to-Row Demonstration The ear-to-row demonstration conducted by R. S. Thomas of the soil and crop department of Purdue was a decided A fair sized group of farmers, headed by the ■ county, agent, were present. This experiment proved without a doubt that each individual seed ear has a value as seed, apart ' from another ear. It proved that in the. selection of 'seed corn, the grower should exercise great care in selecting seed that does not carry an overamount of starch, as the vitality and j yigor of seed corn is largely determined by its freedom from disease and starchiness. Great care should be exercised that no seed be selected that shows signs of f disease, either in ear or stalk, as these defects are absolutely sure to show up in the crop. In this experiment several diseased ears’ were' used as seed, f Fully 75 % of this planting was. found to be affected by stalk root disease, causing stalk to fall, and ears were small and infested by disease similar to the parent ear. The results of the seeding of two eart in this demontsratlon, selected from ope township, was < exhibited in a downtown window and attracted universal attention. The one ea.r

NOW FEELS UKE DIFFERENTPERSON

Ft. Wayne Man Gains Ten Pounds And Can Eat Anything Since Taking Tanlac. “Since I began taking Tanlac I have gained ten pounds in weight and feel just like a different person," said C. O. Sanner, 1311 Elm street. Fort Wayne, Ind., an employe of the General Electric Co. “Up to two years ago I had been working on a railroad, but had to give up my job on account of my wretched health. My stomSch was in a bad condition and I was in such a badly run-down state I could hardly get about. Everything I ate would sour and ferment. I suffered from gas on my stomach and was very nervous -11 the time. The gas pressed against my heart, pausing ft to act so queerly that a£ times I feared I had heart trouble, and there were severe pains in the small of my back just about all the time. I

was losing weight every day, could get but very little sleep anfl always got up In the mornings feeling simply horrible. “I heard so many of the men I work with talking about Tanlac that I decided to give it a trial. I could tell right from the start it was doing nie good, and now I am a well man. I have a splendid appetite, everything I eat agrees with me and I never have any more trouble from gas. The pains in my back are about gone, I sleep well and always get up feeling fine, In fact, I feel better In every way than I have In many years.” Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and In Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.

produced 50 bushels to the acre. It had very starchy kernels and the resulting ears were small and consisted of many nubbins. The other ear yielded 80 bushels to the acre and was free from starchiness and well adapted to the soil and climate, which is shown in the resulting corn that has a uniformity of type. Live Stock Association Meeting

There will be a live stock association meeting in the county agent’s office Saturday evening, Oct. 30. All those who are interested in live stock and stock show for another year please be in attendance at 8 o’clock. This will be an Important meeting and it Is necessary that you come with your suggestions and ideas. State Federation Meeting Officers of the federation who have been working on the program of the Uecdnd annual .state convention, which is to be held in Indfanapolis Nov. 15 and 16 at the auditorium of the Masonic Temple, have recedved wofd from J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Fedeartion, to the effect that he will attend this meeting. Mr. Howard represents the national organization to which the Indiana farmers are affiliated and his message before the convention, which is to be delivered the first, day of the session, will be received with interest by Hoosier farmers, who are now bent upon perfecting one of the strongest state organizations in the national federation. Rensselaer Live Stock Show The. live stock show this year was a decided success considering the prevailing conditions over the country, such as the labor problem. The stock brought in this year was of a very high class and many of the animals were individuals of outstanding characteristics which are well worth considering in building up any breed of live stock. The breeders should be commended in their efforts and ideals of building up fine pure-bred stock in their county. Many breeders over tiie county had very fine animals, backed upp by good pedigrees, but these animals were not in show condition, which accounts for the entries being smaller than expected. Several large breeders have also moved from the county which also accounts for

the few entries In the cattle end of the show. The swine part of tho show was well represented in all breeds except the Durocs. Walter B. Krueck of Angola was the judge and gave satisfaction throughout the judging. The breeders of the county are
