DISARMAMENT TASK i FALLS ON FRIENDS, SAYS SCHOOL HEAD "Friends must lead In an organized program for disarmament," was the declaration of 'William J. Reagan, principal of Oakwood school, Pough-, keepsie, N. Y., before Indiana Yearly meeting Thursday afternoon. His address followed the report of the Peace Association of Friends in America, and the report on peace by the yearly meeting committee. "Last Saturday," Prof. Reagan said, "I listened to an address on disarmament by Dr. Schmidt, professor of Semitic languages and oriental history at Cornell university. "The first half of his address was

reassuring to any believer in disarmament. America has decided she must have the largest navy in the worldlarge enough to oppose the united nav ies of Japan and Great Britain. England just has twice as large a navy as any other country in the world. It seems extremely difficult. Dr. Schmidt said, to decide how large such navies will have to be. The common people are beginning to see the situation and are clamoring for disarmament. Says People Favor "Dr. Schmidt believes that the popular vote of the common people would at this time practically banish the armies and navies of the world. That opinion expressed by a man of his standing is certainly reassuring to a church of our record and interest in peace. Then he said, the disarmament discussion of those powers called together by President Harding will procped behind closed doors. The common people will not know of the proceedings. ' "America's final adequate peace , must depend upon the Christianizing of international relationships. It seems to me that as Friends we have the peculiar task because of the world's confidence in our ability and in our disinterested service we ought to lead in uniting the great and powerful fcwves which are clamoring for disarmament." The fifty-second annual report ot the peace association of Friends in America points hopefully to the new trend of events, "which," the report fays, "indicates clearly an increasing reliance upon the effectiveness of peaceful methods in dealing with international difficulties.' "The great need for the future, is that while joining with the forces now actively seeking peaceful ways for the nations, we shall also continually speak of thse other great truths which lie deeper than economic or political necessities those truths which lead to an understanding of the priceless value of the individual human soul.' No Change in Time No change is to be made in the Yearly meeting time. A petition by young Friends not to change, because they would be in school if the sessions were held in Sept. was considered favorable. Strong support of foreign missions by a strengthing of the home base was urged in an address by Sylvester Jones, assistant general secretary of the Five Years meeting, in an address Wednesday night. "We Friends, hav.2 but to grasp the opportunities and ur,e the resources at hand in order to ' make the coming year one of the most

fruitful in the history of Friends in America." k The Rev. W. J. Sayres, of Muncie,

Announcement has been made of the cnange in ume or me centeniai pageant, Monday, from 3 o'clock to 'J. o'clock in the afternoon. The change was made to accomodate Friends wishing to leave early Monday for their homes. A public meeting is to be held at 7:30 o'clock, Thursday night in charge of the American Friends board of Foreign, missions. CONGRESS SPEEDS UP TO GAIN ITS RECESS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 11 Speed-up orders w?rs given In congress late Wednesday under an agreement between President Harding and Republican leaders for a thirty-day adjournment of both houses about Aug. 20, providing that in the meantime the agricultural credits measure is enacted and the house passes the tax revision bill. Under the tentative plan the railroad debts funding, the allied debt refunding and other bills will go over until September. Enactment of several other important measures before the recess date, however, is contemplated. The recess and legislative program was arranged more definitely by the president at a luncheon with Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican A leader, and Senator Curtis, Kansas, as- . . i i . . i : 3 . . . -

discussion with house leaders. . Representations by Senators Lodge and Curtis that tariff, tax and railroad funding legislation would actually be expedited by the proposed recess were said to have figured largely in the president's assent to the thirtyday vacation. The senators said the senate finance committee, by working uninterruptedly during the recess period, could make greater speed on the tariff and tax bills. The speeding up process, it was pointed out, rests with the house, where the tax and agricultural credits bills are pending. The senate has before it only minor bills and plans a week-end recess beginning Thursday. STEAMER BRINGS GOLD (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 11.

Y. W. C. A. SEEKS REASONS WHY WOMEN WORK AND ASK HOW THEY SPEND THEIR LEISURE TIME IN QUESTIONAIRE

Mrs. Burdett Lewis, left; Miss Mary Cady, right above, and Miss

A significant sign of the times is that the national board of the Yonng Women's Christian Association is preparing a comprehensive questionaire on work and recreation, inquiring into each individual expenditure of time and how it ef FARM (Continued from Page One.) 1 the household furnishing group during 1920, which reached in October, 371 per cent of 1913 prices, having continued to rise for several months after prices of most other commodities had begun to decline. We have attempted to find out whether or not any further decline in prices in this group may be expected and have been assured by most of the concerns we have interviewed in the trade that no further declines are inticipated. "We have heard of strong associations operating in certain branches of the furniture industry, which dominates the situation, and of similar conditions with respect to other important articles included in the house hold furnishings commodity group." Suggests Authorization Mr. Howard suggests that it would be advisable for congress to authorize the federal trade commission to conduct an investigation. The farm organization calls attention to the fact that while average current prices for household furnishing good3 are about 250 per cent in excess of price? prevailing in 1913, the prices for farm products on Juno 1. 1921. registered but 13 per cent above the prices of these products in 1913. It. is also stated that during the period of deflation through which the country has been passing farm products have experienced the greatest de gree of decline and have for some time been below all other groups of commodities. Out of Market The fact that farm products have a. purchasing power of approximately 65 per cent in relation to all other com modities explains, according to the contentions of the Farm Bureau fed eration, why the farmer is out of the market today to such a large extent as a purchaser of commodities, and also explains in part, it is asserted, the general failure of business conditions to improve. "Since 48.6 per cent of our people are classed as rural population," Mr. Howard says, "and apparently derive their income wholly or in part from or in connection with farm production, it becomes a matter of vital interest to them that prices of other commodities should bear a much closer relation to the prices of the products which are the source of their Income than is now the case. "Under such conditions it is of particular importance that the price of commodities that the farmer has to purchase shall at least be free of any artificial restraints or influences that Thursday Evening August 11 "The Other Side of Death" Has man an immortal soul that goes to heaven or hell at death?

If all Friends will take the time to ascertain first the truth or falsity of any statement that would seem to reflect upon another, or seem to lessen the influence of another, before repeating, a large part of the sources of unrest and much heartache will be eliminated. This may seem a matter of small moment, but in the judgment of your committee would be conducive to a harmony in church relationships that does not always exist. As mere matter of common justice, no one has the right to repeat derogatory statements about others until he knows them to be true, and even then tale-bearing has always been counselled against by Friends, whether true or false. There must be both honor and good Avill among brethren.' Message Approved A message ' from the Five yearly meetings wa3 unanimously ap-

A., and Miss Mary Cady, secretary for the educational work department of research and method. proved earlier in the morning. In part it read: j "The executive committee of the Five Years meeting has been under a deep concern over certain disaffection among the membership of various parts of the Five Years meeting. We have no desire to evade any part of our responsibility for this disaffection which properly belongs to the executive committee. "We are convinced that those who hold positions of responsibility in the work of the Five Years meeting have saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, which we recognize as the prime requisite for christian service, and that they are loyal not only to the fundamentals of the christian faith, but also to those doctrines which char acterize us as a denomination. Outline Position "Though we have co-operated with other Friends and other religious denominations in certain things on j which we hold common ground, wei desire that our membership understand that we recognize the Deity of Jesus Christ as fundamental in our faith, and we could not consider any movement toward organic union with any religious group which does not accept this basis of Christian faith." ' The statistical report of the condi tion of the church indicated that the membership in the yearly meeting on June 30. 192L totals 17,776, an increase of 443 over the report of. 1920. The summary of the reports from quarterly meetings on the state of the society read in part: "So far as. appears from the reports on the state of the church, we have the assurance in the often used and well choosen phraseology, that the spiritual condition of the meeting is good and that Friends seem to live together in unity, or if differences arise endeavors are made to end them speedily."

ONE GALLON LIQUOR ALLOWED BY LAW, IS PR1TCHARD RULING (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 11. A gal lon or less of intoxicating liquor, if rightfully acquired before passage of the 1921 amendment to section four of the Indiana prohibition act of 1917, ! may be held, according to a ruling by Judge Walter Pritchard in city court here yesterday in the case of Nicholson Smith, of this city, charged with violation of the prohibition law. Smith was discharged. The ruling was in answer to a brief, accompanying a motion to quash the search warrant in the case, filed last week by Alvah J. Rucker. attorney for the defendant. Section Not Repealed Smith was arrested after police found bottle-s containing less than two quarts of whisky in his home, it was fa id. The brief contended that the recent prohibition act did not expressly repeal section 36 of the 1917 act, which permitted a citizen to possess a gallon of intoxicating liquor. Judge Pritchard's answer attaches no importance to the fact that the legislature did not repeal section 36, because, as he pointed out, the supreme court has held that this section does not define a public offense, but merely define a rule of evidence.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX IS INGREASED IN EIGHT COUNTIES INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 11. The state board of tax commissioners has decided on horizontal increases in as-, sessments of certain classes of per - sonal property in eight counties, De-j cision in regard to proposed blanket increases in three other counties, has not been reached. Formal orders of the increases will be issued within a few days. In six counties where the board was considering the issuance of a horizontal increase order, local officials have made changes in appraisements suggested by the state officials, and the assessments have been approved. Increases as Ordered. Counties for which horizontal Increases will be ordered and amount of increase for various classes of personal property, as given out at the office of the tax board, follow: Adams Automobiles, 10 per cent. Posey Cattle, 10 per cent; hogs, 20 per cent; sheep, 50 per cent; automo biles, 20 per cent; farm implements, 30 per cent; household goods, 30 per cent Johnson Household goods, 10 per cent. Wells Automobiles. 10 per cent; iarm implements, 25 per cent; household goods, 25 per cent. Putnam Horses, 30 per cent; sheep 50 per cent; automobiles, 10 per cent; farm implements, 40 per cent; household goods, 30 per cent. Fulton Automobiles, 10 per cent; farm implements, 15 per cent; household goods, 20 per cent. Shelby Farm implements, 30 per cent; household goods, 30 per cent. Monroe Hogs, 20 per cent; farm implements, 50 per cent; household goods, 40 per cent. In 81 counties assessments of per sonal property finally have been approved by the tax board. It is possible that in Jefferson, Noble and Warren counties, in which no decision has been reached in regard to a horizontal increase, prompt action by local officials in following suggestions of thj tax board in regard to appraisments, may avert a county-wide blanket increase. v One of the first schools for girls in Japan was opened by an American woman in Yokohama in 1871. i to
