C., Aug. 0.?The mis sionary conference and school of mis sions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, now in session at Lake .Tunaluska, N. C., has been pronounc ed by leaders in missionary work as: one of the most enthusiastic ever held. Among those taking part in the pro gram are: Hon. Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy; Sen ator W. R. Webb, of Tennessee; Dr. Charles L. Goodell, New York: Dr. F. NT. Parker, Atlanta. Ga., Dr. 0. E. Brown, Nashville, Tenn., Dr. \\. D.

IloVell, secretaries of the Board of Missions; Dr. Carlton ' D. Harris Baltimore, Md., and others. Dr. W. W. Pinson general secre tary of the Board of Missions in out lining the work to be done by the con ference said: "Methodism will go to the scrap heap if she does not recognize her responsibility and opportunity, and make a mighty advance. We are not here to reckon successes nor to cele brate victories, but to organize nev campaigns for a greater and more glorious future. The world is too old to harbor anything that is not ef ficient. The church is facing today a challenge such as it has not faced since the first century. The whob i world is crying ,"Where is God'." Never were there so many bewildered people. If there ever was a time when religion had her innings, it. is nov people have ceased to sneer at religi ion. but treat it as a sober, serious, essential fact in life. The church i' facing a test which if it does not meet by some great forward movement, i ! will be thrown on the scrap heap. The i Methodist church or any other churc1 ' can and will die if it does not mee' ! the test and respohd to the call ' i humanity and the still small voicr | that urges to greater and more glori ous things ahead." ?? ??

Brings a Ray of Hope to Childless Women Lowell, Mass.?"! had anemia from the time I was sixteen years oid and Iwas very irregular. If I did any house cleaning or washing I would faint and have to be put to bed, my husband thinking every min ute was my last. After reading your text-book for women I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound and used the Sanative Wash, and have never felt better than I have the last two years. I can work, eat. sleep, and feel as strong as can be. Doctors told me I could never have children?I was too weak? but after taking Vegetable Compound it strength ened me so I gave birth to an eight pound boy. I was well all the time, did all my work up to the last day. and had a natural birth. Everybody who knew me was surprised, and when they ask me what made me strong I tell them with great pleasure. 41 took Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound and never felt better in my life.' Use this testi monial at any time."?Mrs. Elizabeth Smart. 142 W. Sixth St.. Lowell. Mass. This experience of Mrs. Smart is surely a strong recommendation for Lydia ?. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It if only one of a great many similar cases AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS Farm production this year will ; fall 10 per cent below the r^c^ra made last season. The important rep eals return to the average yield of previous years. This Is oik* of the few summers of high temperatures in which the crops passed safely ? through the mid-season of July with out very serious impairment. The heat has heen equal to that of 1H80 and 1901, when crops were dried up. The saving feature of this twenly year recurrent heat, cycle has heen the number of rains not general, hut scattered as to time, and in the main Covering the important part of the grain growing area. The bumper crops of last season were not all consumed, except wheat, which made a record in the expjrta j tation to Europe. The crops gathered and indicated, with the large carryover, will furnish the country with a supply equal to its i needs and with a margin for ex , port to the countries which have been ' less favored. Food and feed acreage of the coun try this year is not less than last year; itis more! The courageous farmer faced the future with a mil 1 lion more acres than the previous | season. The compilation of the gov ' eminent's estimated acreage of the grains, vegetables, forage, seeds, is .112,109,000; last year the final es timate was 311,079.000. Successive hot waves have .been sweeping over the country since early June, not only in this hemisphere, but in Europe. This country has been j more fortunate than England and tlr continental countries. There the heat has been relieved only recently by j rains. Much c-f the grains, forage and vegetables have been badly hurt, and - yields greatly reduced. This country has had a peculiar run of showers, j The rains at times covered wide areas , but were never general, except in the j cotton states, and there only recent : ly. The showers have been suflicien j to save the crops from a great disa~ ter. In fact damage by hc-at has r been a great factor, being confined to an area between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and covering Min nesota, the Dakotas and Montana.

STATE BREEDS BOB-WHITE PARTRIDGES IN CAPTIVITY Richmond, Aug. 9.?Experiments of an interesting nature in breeding Bob-white partridges and other cranio bmls and animals in captivity are be ing carried on at the State game farm in New Kent county, under the direction of Colonel F. Nash Bilisoly. Commissioner of Game and Inland Fisheries. Latest reports from the. farm, which comprises about 1200 acres, show a total hatch of 70S birds from ?S51 egffs hatched under bantam hens. From th" first setting of 79 eggs, OP birds were hatched. A hatch of birds resulted from the second settincr of 217 eggs, while the third setting ?>' 2.S4 egjres yielded 271 birds. The fourth hatch resulted in 200 birds from 2.'}." ejrjfs. In addition six Blue Scale partridge egffs resulted in batch of as many birds of this va riety. More than 700 egfr= laid by par tridges trapped and purchased by the Department of Came and Inland Fish eries, are now under bantam hens at the farm, with prospects bright for a good hatch. There are now 70 Oyoung birds in the rearing pens at the farm awaiting' shipment to different, sec tion:- oi' the State, where they will he liberated on sanctuaries estab lished by the Department. It is under stood the first shipment of birds from the farm will go to Southwest Vir ginia, where partridges have been <ck.vc.f- since the severe winter (if i 1917-1.g. Sanctuaries have been es tablished by the Department in each magisterial district in the Stale, the | owner of the lands accepted as a re | inge for birds agreeing to permit no shooting thereon for a period of three years after partridges have been fur nished him by the Department. Birds raised on the game farm will be di.= tributed annually on these sanctuar ies. the idea being that as the birds multiply on the refuges they will spread to adjacent lands and furnish spurt for hunters in the open season. The success of the undertaking at ih?' Virginia farm has attracted the attention of game commissioners in other States Virginia, it is said, be ing the first State to raise as many as ".on partridges in captivity. Operations at the farm are in charge of W. B. Coleman, as superin tendent. Mr. Coleman is a man of wide experience in breeding game in captivity having, prior to his em ployment by Colonel Bilisoly, been i: charge of breeding operations on a large game preserve in South Caro lina owned by wealthy sportsmen from N't-w York. He originally came from Amelia County. Virginia. Upon beine tranued. the partridges I rue placed in a community pen, where they are kept until the mating season arrives, when they are paired off and placed in breeding pens, in which they fire kept until after the laying season. The nects are robbed at regular inter vals by employees at the farm and nlaced under bantam hens. One o^" the lien birds has already laid nearly o'j eggs this summer. If the nests 'U'e not robbed, the hen bird will r *:o setting as soon as she has laid clutch of from 12 to 15 eggs.

An effort to breed wile turkeys will also be made, and plans are now under way looking* to the es tablishment of a large black has: hatchery at. the farm. Navy Would Punish Those Who Sell War Medals.
