Campaign [For World-Wide
Movement Outlined.
A general survey of tlie religious
conditions and need« of this country,
■s part of the world wide surveys he
ing made by the Interchureh World
Movement of North America, will he
inade as soon as the organization oi
a county council and other prelimin
ary steps now under way have heeti
completed.
Every Evangelical denomination
has been invited to cooperate in the
work. The »urvey is to be made by
competent investigators who arc sat.
»factory to all the churches. The ob
ject is to obtain an impartial and
complete summary of all the facts're
lating to the condition of every
church in the county as to its finan
ces, its membership, whether growing
stationary or declining, whether it
has a resident pastor, what familie
are included in its ministry, how oft
en its people 'arc visited by pastors,
what families in the county arewith
out pastoral oversight.
Work it Comprehensive.
The surveyors are also expected to
report upon chur:h groupings, upon
conflicts in pariah boundaries, upon
areas without Christian influences,
upon community centers or social
buildings, such as lodges and granges,
and upon any other matters that will
throw light on the problems of the
churches in this county.
The county council will be expect
ed to assemble this information. It
will then be sent on for tabulation to
the state council, but, in the mean
time, the facts wili be laid before
all the leaders in all the denomina
what families in the county are with
vited to attend conferences where lo
cal programs-to fit the ascertained
faqts will be.
What is being done in this county
is being repeated in every one of the
3000 rural counties of the United
States. Silimar studies, of religion
conditions abroad are being made
through the missionaries in the field
through governmental forces, thru
the headquarters of the great Amer
ican missionary societies. In the
course of time the Interchurch world
movement expeèts to have on file a
map of every county in the United
tions of the county who will be
trolly line, road, village, hamlet
church, lodge, school, and where ev
ery isolated farm house stands in re
lation to some church or other re
ligious center.
Convention Here Next Week.
After the county councils havi
completed their work and forward d
the results to the state council, th
body will make up n complete report
and analysis for the entire state. Thi
in turn will be forwarded to the Na
tional organization for final analysis
after which it will he possible to get
at the salient points of information
for any locality in the United States
that may be desired and. at the same
time, to study the general phenomena
of particular groups and environ
ments.
The Interchurch World movemen
is the first organization to undcrtaki
such a task on a large scale. The sur
vey of ch\trch relations which w.i
made in Caldwell Sunday, March 21
was in line with the general plans of
the movement, as was also the pas
tor's conference held at Nampa. Feb
ruary 23-25. Plans are now complet

Boise, Ida., Woolgrowers arc cast
ing interested eyes on the market
prospects for this year, and have a^k
ed I'.. F. Kinehart, field animal hus
bandman of the University of Idaho
extension division, 100 times in a
month, »hat he thinks they will get
for tliwir clip. In reply, Mr. Rinchart
has sent the following statement to
county agricultural agents throughout
the state:
"If the calling is followed long
enough the prophet in time becomes
false. Even the weather man is no
exception to this rule. Answering the
<|iiestion. "What do you think we will
get for our wool this year?' which has
been asked more than 10 this month,
no attempt will be made to prophesy.
We have no guide upon which opin
ions may be based other than a re.
view of the trade and a study of the
factors that may affect the prices.
Reserve Supply Really Small.
"On January 1, the wool stocks in
this country were 624,000,000 pounds.
The amount of wool used in January
was 63,000,0(10 pounds and the amount
in February approximately 60.000,000
pounds Thus, at the beginning of
the shearing season, there is less than
500,000,000 pounds of wool on hand.
Should the prospects that have pre
vailed sinee January 1 continue thru
out the year, the amount of raw woo!
required for this year's trade should
be between 700,000,000 and 750,000,000
pounds.
j "The reserve stock may look large
1 " it is not to be considered serious
f>r one that will materially affect the
marketing of this year's clip of wool
| The United States produces slightly
.
Cannot Forecast Probable Prices;this,

Producers for 1920 Crop- Isj
Specialist's Assertion.
-less than one-half the wool required
I to run her factories and imports the
jrest, hence the reserve supply that
{should be carried in this country at a
times to meet the emergencies should
jbe at least as large as cur present re
jserve stocks.
Consumption 5 3-4 Per Capita.
I 'In 1919 the consumption of wool in
I the United States amounted to 627.000
|000 pounds in the grease, or about
3-4 pounds per capita. In 1918, the
consumption was 740,000,000 pounds.
The d.'crease is mostly due to the
fact that the early part of 1919 was
upset by labor troubles, cancellation
of government contracts, unsettled
conditions and the uncertainty as to
whether the country was at peace or j
war.
*'As
there has not been much
(activity in the field. Some early ot\
fers of contracts at 60 cents were re
[ported but met with little response,
jas the sheepmen generally do not fa
\or contracting wool on the sheep's
I back. As yet the wool growers and
:the Wool buyers are still apart, the
j majority of the wool growers -tatiny
that their w ool will be worth from
70 cents'up, the buy r- stating that.
I with the exception of the best quality
I of the fine staples, this price is oui of
j reason. While growers arc talking
strongly on consignments, a-, a rule
the dealers do not take this seriously.
! stating that their past experience has
I taught them that the growers prefer
to sell outright rather than consign
and wait for their money. In spite of
however, indications are that
tf, ere will be more consignments from
the range country, than ever before.
''Shea ^TvwentÏL^ÏÎy in Ar
izona and the wool buyers have been
n hand from the beginning, although
but little wool has been sold. Seven
ty cents is the first offer reported in
that section but the growers have
been reluctant to sell. One large
clip was sold recently at 73 cents.
"The recent London and Boston
ool sales indicate that, for a time

The ex-buck found the menu card
at the fashionable restaurant almost
as baffling as some he 'd perused in
France. Finally he summoned a
waiter.
"Where are pork and beans on
here?" he asked.
The waiter indicated.
"Well," said the relieved pa|ron.
"bring me everything above and be
low that line."
