IIAGERSTOUN METHODIST CHURCH HOLDS QUARTERLY CONFERENCE

Better Commercial Training Demanded. In his first annual report as chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, Dr,

Edward Ewing Pratt calls attention to the abso

lute necessity for improved methods of educating

men for the foreign trade. He asserts that with

few exceptions the colleges and universities are doing very little to train men for this important field. He says in part: Exception is taken to the men with only theoretical training who are of ten put in charge of commerce classes in schools and colleges. "It is to be regretted that the actual work of instruction is not intrusted to men who have some practical or personal knowledge of the subject. A mere second-hand acquaintance, a mere book knowledge of foreign trade is inadequate. I do not mean by this statement to advocate the employment of merely practical exporters as in

structors. But I do advocate the employment of

men who have gathered their facts and informa ' tion by personal investigation, and have thus ac quired a first-hand knowledge and have a practi

cal contact with the things which they propose

to teach." This criticism of prevailing methods of training men to. carry on our foreign trade follows a discussion of the part the United States has come to play in international trade. As a result of the war the American business community is rapidly being forced into the world's trade arena. The United States has been compelled to become the world's producing and commercial center, and, for a time at least, the world's financial

Germany From the Inside

Last year the New York Globe sent a staff correspondent to Germany to ascertain first hand whether that nation had sufficient food supply and munitions of war to carry 'on1 the conflict. This year it did the same thing. The results of his investigations are summarized in an editorial expression which follows: A careful study by a staff correspondent of the World of the internal situation in Germany as it is today as compared with the conditions he found existing there last spring, when he made a similar investigation, reveals many important changes. From sources German, neu

tral, and unneutral divergent reports of the grav

ity of the food question have been received here. The World today presents first hand information

gathered on the spot and reviewed in the light of

earlier personal knowledge. Germany's foresight in marshaling its resources in good season and dealing effectively with domestic problems affecting immediately the life of its noncombatants has contributed in? mensely to its powers of endurance. Like the other nations at war, it has felt the pinch of rising prices for food, but more than them it has had to guard against a national shortage that would have sapped its vitality and morale. In certain respects the stoppage of supplies has been acutely felt ; so far the effect on the issue of the war cannot be traced. - The picture of Germany from the inside leads

to an understanding of the spirit in which the war is being fought by the kaiser's subjects such am' v i v

as no oiiiciai utterances can reiiect. it is a peo

ple weary of war, but resolved to go on to the end; confident, but ready for peace, lasting and

honorable in German eyes. It is not a state of

affairs as seen by the World's staff correspondent that promises an early end of the war, either from economic weakness or military exhaustion, either from moral fatigue or physical distress.

Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up.

Mrs. Martha Wilcox. Gowanda. X. Y. writes: "I first used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy about eight years ago.

At that time I had a hard cold and; coughed most of the time. It proved to be just what 1 needed. It broke up a cold in a few days, and the cough entirely disappeared. I have told many of my friends of the good I have received through using this medicine, and all who have used it speak of it In the highest terms." Obtainable everywhere. Adv. '

The Sandman Story For Tonight

I white hen thinks her family a little ! above the rest of us because her fam

ily, is so white."

The barnyard of Farmer Hicks was close by a river, and tone morning when gray hen and white hen were out for a walk it began to rain. They were close to a river and a boat with an awning over It was by the bank, so they hopped into it, thinking the rain would soon be over and they would go home. "What shall we do for supper?" asked white hen.

"Here is a can of worms," replied gray hen, "and these seats are just the place for use to roost. I think we are very lucky. People live In boathouses, why shouldn't we?" They ate their supper and went to sleep. The next morning they were awakened by the rooster crowing, and gray hen flew on the side of the boat. "Goodness me!" she exclaimed, jumping down into the bottom of the boat. "What is the matter?" asked white hen, as she stretched her neck and spread her wings trying to shake off the sleepy feeling. "We can not get to the land," said gray hen; "the boat has drifted away from the bank." "What will become of us?" asked white hen. Before gray hen could think of any answer, Madam Duck and her family were swimming toward them. Madam Duck hurried back to the barnyard. "What do you think?" she said to the turkeyB. "White hen and gray hen have taken a houseboat for the summer." When the rooster heard this, he flapped his wing and ran down to the edge of the pond. "Come back!" he called to them. "You will be drowned, and if you are

not. how will you get anything to

eat?" "We have taken this houseboat for .- the summer," answered gray hen; "do not fret aboutus; we have plenty to eat." Just then a breeze struck the boat and off they went with all the barnj ai d fowls standing on the bank watching them. "Well, who ever heard of such a thing!" said Madam Duck. "Gray hen always was a proud creature, and

Just then the farmer came along

with their breakfast and called them. While they were eating the farmer saw the boat, and as the water was not very deep he waded into the pond and brought the boat to the bank.

They ate with such greediness that the rooster looked at them suspiciously. "You didn't have any corn aboard your houseboat, did you?" he asked. Gray hen looked at him disdainfully. "It is plain you were never aboard a

houseboat," she 4 answered. "They never carry corn; they carry worms and such big ones; I wish you might have seen them." . - "Why did you land?" asked the duck. "I thought, you had taken the boat for the summer."

"We changed our plans," said gray hen. "The boat snrana a leak and

pvhile we like to sail we do not care

to get our feet wet, as some of our neighbors do. The gray hen looked at Madam Duck's webbed feet in a way that made her try to hid them behind a bush. - White hen promised she would keep the secret, but she kept away from the river lor; fear gray, hen might try to get. aboard the boat again just to make her story of the houseboat seem real to the other fowls.

Bringing Old Farms Back

All the old farm needed was a real farmer and Critchley was it. Ditches full of briers, poor drainage, broken fences. This is what Critchley was up against when he took Summit Farms. Today the income is derived, not from one or two products, but from milk, hogs, hay, corn, rye, ryestraw and potatoes. Read how he did it.
