Further, in the interest of order and effective service we declare our- convention that when proposals for readjustments of work are made every pastor shou'd refer the matter directly to the district superintendent, to be disposed of through a legally •called quarterly conference, and we further insist that, where ex changes have been made, the church constituency of such a community shall have a right to reopen the whole case if they are not supplied with proper sup ervision and' reasonable effective pastoral attention. 6.

Mr. C'roziers raised, among other things, 10,000 brothels of .potatoes which he has sold at an average of £0 cents abushel, *he cost' to him beng estimated' at 7 cents bushel. He does not, however, (figure anything for working the land, contending now that the soil is in fine condition for next year's grain crop, and that tflie tilling operations cannot there fore be charged to the potato crop Only fiity-three acres of the farm were devoted to potatoes, wheat, oats, tame grasses and corn being raised on the remain der of the 280 acre tract. The pota+o shipments have totaled itwtnty-five cars for the season. I spent a great deal! of time getting my land properly cultiva ted," explains Mr. Crozier. "I employed modern farming met hods throughout, and I certainly am gratif ed with the success attained. ''Basing the. productiveness of the toil upon the results I have obtained t' is year, one can read ily appreciate the fact that every quarter section of similar land would be sufficient for any sfarm, and that it would give him a good Mins and alpo jprovi^e for the proverbial rainy day."

D., Oct. 14.— Considerable trouble has arisen in the state cause elevator com p:nie« frequently allow their houses to st nt.sied for sever al ye ir» at a ri tch, occupying sites whi.li might better be used for .her purposes, amd fre quently standing in the way of the farmers who want sites, and who wou-d buy the old house if it could be secured at a reasona ble price. To oviate some of these evife the railrosd commis sion hr.s issued the following or dfer^ which will. .-.be of interest. -to the. graiia tradeand t' ^"e'takroadisi. "Rule 21. A11 elevators, an4. public! warehouses licensed to buy, sell, store and ship grain within this state, shall be kept open for business for the public during reasonable business hours from Sept. 15 iai each calendar of the grain shippers at the station where such elevator or warehouse for such season, or that by reason of crop shortage or for any other reason it would be A •levator to remain -open for buskiefs for such season, the com mission may issue a certificate inning and end: of their coun- refuse to take good broad to such elevator or warehouse per tiurtcally tlie great *»te of the —•1 onkting it to remain closed for. .golden west leada al the reat* business for "a period of time not to extend beyond Aug. 1 next ensuing, and thereupon the licena of auch elevator or warehouse buying^ selling,, or storing grain within inch period shall be liable an elevator or war. houae without a license."

He may ap pear the most prosperous from a standpoint of property and per sonal holdings, but in most cases a careful invoice Mould reveal startling figures, with the bal ance oil the wrong side of the ledger. Whenever you find a: farm that is pooily farmed you will almost invariably find that the farmer is trying to farm too much land. Why should: a- 1 over a large tract of land to make a living, when he can make a better and* an easier living on a smaller farm, getting his land worked' up bet ter and double if not treble hi# yield When he realizes the necessity of farming fewer acre* and' working these fewer acre# well then tftie real profits are realized and his property assuri ed. He will be burdened down .with lighter mortgages and' have less, money invested' to secure bigger profits, which mieans less money, invested to secure bigger 'bigger profits, which means less worry and more satisfaction out of life. There is no doubtr but •what more profits can be made from a 160 acre farm well work ed than from a poorly farmed1 sect'on, by devoting the time to the one quarter that it takes to work a section. Another bad feature as we see it, is the ten dency. of farmers to grab off too much find in so doing bur den themselves down with heavy mortgages, and 'i many cases, cripple themselves so ba«dly fi nancially that they have to de vote the best part of their lives getting on *heir feet again. Many farmers ane land poor. The money which is being tied upr% in too much land, and' the com pound interest on the unpaid .balance, would' bring tlinee timea the returns if it had been in vested in cows or stocky Then again the investment is so much safer because one can dispose of the stock and* get the cadh any time, while land can't be sold on the spur of the morttent short of a sacrifice. J3 SUICIDE STATISTICS SHOW MANY DEATHS. Stit's.ics of suicide given in The Spectator, an insurance weekly, present many points of interest. The figures relate to 100 leading cities in this country and it appears th it the number of suicides per 100,000 population: for 1912 was 18.8, an improve ment on 1911, when it waa 19.6. The rate has fallen every year since 1908, wljen it ^yaa.lU.8, the atieceei« gftra being :2&0,. 1$* 7,1&8, 18.8. The average '.rate for-the deeennhim 1902-11 was 19.6. Indeed, the suicide rate' for 1912 was not very much high er than the average for the en re series of twenty years from 1893 to 1912, inclusive, which, WM A noteworthy point brought out by The Spectator is that, if the citieir be divided into two groups, those above and those be low the 250,000 mark, the im provement in 1912, aa compared with the proceeding ten years has all taken place, in the upper group in the cities below 250, OO0, taken aa anaggregate, there has been a alight increase in the by such showing that the demand1suicide rate, while in the group _»_• -i *u"'of great cities there has been marked diminution.
