Wheat Exports Greater than in Pre-War Days Ninety Per Cent Gain. Says Com merce Department for 1920 24 Against 1909-13. Washington, Oct. 16. The com bined exports of wheat from the chief exporting countries of the world were 9 0 per cent above pre war shipments for the postwar period of 1920-1924. according to statistics made public by the Department of Commerce. The so-called 'primary surplus" countries included in the survey are the United States, Canada. Argentina, Australia and India, which exported a total of ."94.000,- 000 bushels during the four-year period, as compared with :J11.(00, 000 bushels during the period from 1909-1913. Russia, formerly a largo wheat ex porting country, contributed 156. 000,000 bushels to this total. Exports from the five chief sources today are therefore more than 2 5 per cent greater than shipments during the prewar period from the same coun tries with Russia included, it is pointed out by the foodstuffs division of the Commerce Department. It is alto noted that the United States has been shipping to Europe a relatively smaller proportion of the total wheat exports than during prewar years, while Canada has in creased its exports to European countries. 90 Per Cent Went to Europe Other outstanding developments in the wheat exportation situation are outlined by the Commerce depart ment report as follows: Over 90 per cent of the world's! wheat shipments pre-war went to Europe: during the last five years these exports averaged 87 per cent of the total. To every grand division more wheat was exported during the last five years than pre-war; to Europe, 54,000,000 bushels more; to Asia, 22.000,000; and to Africa, 6.000,000. Much larger quantities of wheat were exported to the United King dom, Italy, Eelgium and Japan dur ing 1920-24, than during 1909-13. The average amount of flour ex ported during the pcAt, five years was over 31,500.000 barrels or 60 per cent more than pre-war. Of this amount the United States shipped lC.SOO.OOO barrels or 53 per cent of the total. Canada exported S.S34, 000 barrels or 2S per cent of the total. Of the total pre-war ship ments the United States supplied 5S per cent and Canada 21 per cent, indicating that Canada has since the war been making greater strides in capturing world flour markets than has the United States. Canada Makes Gains Europe took 55 per cent of the total exports of flour during the 1920-24 period. Asia and North America. 15 per ccziX and Africa. 9 per cent. The same relative i:gure& nre-war were Europe is per cent, Asia 19 per cent and South America 13 per cent. Argentina and India have been just barelv holding their own in the shipments of flour, their combined exports during the past five years be ing less than 5 per cent over the pre-war period. On the other hand the combined shipments irom cue United States and Canada are now fully SO per cent greater than those pre-war, Canada, however, having made considerably larger gains than the United States. The total ship ments of flour to . Europe during 1920-24 were 100 per cent greater than before 1914; to Africa. 140 per cent, to Asia, 25 per cent, to North America, 4 0 per cent greater. To South America. 25 per .cent less flour was shipped. An interesting development in the world wheat trade is Germany's ac tion in removing its prohibition of grain exports on Oct. 1. This country is now importing bread wheat from t,he United States and Canada in in creasing Quantities and selling cheap er wheat to the Baltic countries, ac cording to recent reports. The effect of this is to equalize grain exports and imports and to create a favorable trade balance, it is stated in reports from Germany. Stagnation in German milling indus tries has been threatened as a result of the strong competition from Polish milling by-products in Baltic mar kets and the efforts to increase ex ports to these markets has led to the removal of all restrictions on grain exports from Germany.

The Silversmiths' Riot Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, in the lesson of two weeks ago. was at Corinth, where a strong church was established. This was the last great church which was to be estab lished in Europe for some time, for Paul and his co-workers were to re turn to Asia, where the spirit had forbidden him to pdeach some years helore. at the time he had received the call to come to Macedonia. Since then he and his fellow work ers had visited churches at Phil lipi, Thessolonica, Berea, a small one one at Athens and the one at Corinth, where they remained for some time. Paul had been stoned and left for dead and had had a number of nar row escapes from death. Now with Silas. Timothy, Luke. Aquila and Prise ilia, he comes to Ephesus, where a email band of true believers are lo cated and here they remain for three years of arduous labor in the Mas ter's vineyard. After this Paul takes a trip which brings him to Jerusalem and Ant inch the scene of his first labors. Alter leaving Jerusalem for Tarsus, from there he makes a tour of all the churches established in the previous tours. Then he returns to Ephesus to begin his real ministry there which also embraced the churches mentioned in Revelations 1:11, namely, Ephesus. Smyrna, Pergamus. Thyatira, Sardis, Philo delphia and Laodicea, each one rep resenting one of the lights on the golden candle stick which John sees in the vision on the Island of Pat mos. Apollas had come to Ephesus, where he had preached, and falling in with Aquilla and Priscilla, he was instructed more thoroughly and later departed, preaching wherever he went that Jesus is the Christ. Now comes Paul and asks of the church which Apollas had establish ed. "Have you received the Holy Ghost since ycu believed?" They told him they had not so much as heard there was a Holy Ghost. So Paul sxplained the scriptures and how John had baptised unto remission of tins, and that later the church and Christians had been so pleased unto Christ they then received the bap tism of Christ and Paul laying hands on them, they received the Holy Ghcst and spoke with tongues and prophesied. As Paul preached in the synagogue of the Jews for almost a year, some of the Jews became angered and when they objected he went to the school of Tyrajius, where he preached for some two years and also established churches tit Philodelphia, Smyrna, Sardis and many other places, in fact in all the coast country of Asia Minor. . There was a temple at Ephesus, whkh was dedicated to the huntress. Diana, or Art emus, a small image of this goddess being carried by many who worshiped it and supposed it would ward off bad luck and as a token of good luck and prosperity. When many churches were orga nized and many who had been wor shipers had become Christians, the demand for these shrines of Dianna began to fall off to the extent that the trade noticed the slump. Demetrius, who conducted a fac tory, called the trade together, also those of like occupations who were in trades producing silver and pre paring it for manufacture. When all were assembled. Demetrius said, "Do you know that thi3 Jewish preac her who is preaching one Christ Jesus, saying he was crucified and arose from the dead, is establishing many churches and all Asia has gone after him. Py the silversmith trade we have heretofore prospered, but this new sett has so taken the peo ple that our business has fallen off and unless we can do something to counteract it, our business is ruined. Not alone this, but the great temple which was dedicated to. Diana will come to naught." This he said, not because he cared for the temple, but because it interfered with his busi ness. In other words, it was the putting of money against the Christ, the Savior of the world. Wheu they heard this, all became excited, some saying and doing one thing, while others did another, all in confusion and pandemonium broke loose. They caught Gaes and Ares tarches and all hastened into the the atre. Paul would have gone unto the theatre but the disciples would not let him. Then the Jews in order to show they did not approve the preaching of Paul, asked Alexander to speak to the mob and explain that the Jews had nothing to do with the matter, but when he beckoned with his hand and they heard his voice and saw his face, that he was a Jew, they all with one accord shouted for two long hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." A great hubbub to drownd out any one who sought to speak. When this wild frenzied riot had gone on for two hours, the town 'clerk, getting the attention of the mob said, "Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image that fell down from Jupiter? Seeing then that these ' things cannot be spoken against, we ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly. For ye have brought hither these men who are neither robbers !of churches nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. I "Wherefore if Demetrius and the craftsmen which are here have a mat . ter against any man, the law is I open and there are deputies, let them (implead one another. But if you in quire anything concerning other's matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly, for we are in dan ger to be called inquisitive for this The Urn Hallowe'en Frolic Peterson Hail, Murray, fc'eb.

Grand March at 9 O Clock day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse." He then dismissed the assembly the citizens going quietly to their homes. Paul then went to Mace donia, visiting the churches, going on to Greece. Ueing apprised of a plot to kill him when he should sail for Syria, he returned again through Macedonia. On their way they all came to Phillipi, where he preached until af ter midnight and one went to sleep, falling from the third story and when he was picked up he was found to be dead. Paul went down and fell upon i the body, saying to tho.-e who stood by not to lie troubled as there was life in him. and went back and con tinued t lie meeting until morning, when he departed on his way to Jt j rusalc m.
