We need more teach ers, and other workers. The classes are getting too largo for the best results. Who will soy, "Here am' I?"

Ho should bo n helpful and sympathetic counselor. It has been well nigh impossible for the pastor to have n catechetic al class at Salem th(s past winter for various reasons, but it is not our purpose to get out from under work. Catechization Is ono of tho pleasant est things we do if the young folks are interested in it. And In order that thero shall bo an opportunity for those who would bo Interested In this work, the pastor wants to pro pose the following plan as the best method that Is open to us. At tho close of the school year which will bo pretty soon, now, those who want the work, will take a few days for it, meet at tho church, and spend nil our time at It and be ready for confirmation shortly. Thrco or four days will bo sufficient. This is a method I have never tried, and I would like to try It out. I do not know why it ought not to work. It is simply a matter of taking tho time. Probably It is as good to take tho time onco as again. Had wo had this during the winter, we would have had to givo It special time. We do nothing without that consid eration. There are those who ought to give attention to this this season. We hope the parents will favor tho plan enough to make It convenient for their young folks to come. It is not our intention to make a grind of the work. It can be done with out that. We intend to enjoy it, to have a good time doing this work, I think it can be done so. A good deal of the hardness of our work is the angle from which we look at it. I think wo can make tRe work inter esting enough to continue it for thrco or four days. At any rate here is an opportunity. Let us take it. Our pastor will gladly do the work. The pastor will I absent this week Thursday and Friday ut Omaha, where he goes to assist Dr. Yerian, tho president of Synod in some holy week services. Ho will preach and assist with the holy communion on Thurs day night and preacli again on Fri day night. This well bo a pleasant task. And what is more ho will find out something about tho benev olent operations which are to be put on foot under the United Lutheran Church of America. These plans aro to be begun at the close of tho pres ent synodical year. The drive for the National Luther an Commission and the restoration of churches in the war destroyed dis tricts amounted to ono hundred and twenty-one dollars in tho Dakota City and Salem pastorate. Wo cannot here give personal and public credit for tho individual sums, for tho list was not given to us by tho men who made the canvas. This drive lias come so near the Easter timo that it was thought inadvisable to make the usual effort for n one hundred dollar freewill offering on Easter. We take it the drive has been made and the congregation has gone over the top again. Worship is ono of tho necessities of, your Christian life. Do not ne glect this. As farmers wo plow and cultivate, and wo ought to do tho same thing in our religious life. The prophet declares to Israel, "Break up your fallow ground." Again wo are to "Implont tho word," and again to "train up" tho way we ought to go, and what is all that but plowing and cultivating in our re ligious matters. The pastor at Salem claims it is not a bit farther from South Sioux City via tho tracks and afoot after having attended tho musical festival of tho dedication of Trinity Luther an Church of Sioux City, lost Fri day night, than it was for a bunch of mon who camo homo tho same way some timo ago from n bum wrestling match in Sioux City. That was part of tho price of attendance, and wo wero glad to pay it, -and whero wo have tho advantage of tho other afore said bunch, wo aro still glad wo paid it. Tho music under tho direction of Professor Wick was fino Indeed. Wo do not pretend to bo a critic of mu sic, but wo can tell whether wo aro much pleased or not. Wo certainly were. Prof. Wick wrote 'ono of the cantatas which was presented espec ially for this occasion. Trinity Church may well bo proud of their director, his own music was excellent. There wero 49 voices In tho choir. Members of the threo other Luther an churches assisted in tho Trinity Choir. We have been attending tho Sioux City concert course for two years now, and have heard some of the very best music of tho world and have enjoyed it of course, this was different entirely, being voices, we enjoyed it just as much as some of the instrumental music. Tho Luth eran churches of the city have an aggregation of singers that is surely creditable to tho city. A number of our Salem people were anxious to attend tho program, but wero disappointed at not being able to get over because of tho bad roads. They missed a treat. But do you know what our feeling was as wo walked homo from the car all alono under tho moonlit fleecy midnight sky. It was that wo could havo a lot of mighty good music at Salem If our young folks and those of tho others whom tho pastor knows ran help, would get behind tho work. 'I hero will bo preaching and com munion servico at tho Lutheran church next Sunday night. A class of nine will bo confirmed at tho Homer Lutheran church Easter. Prepare for Another Day. Prepare today for tho morrow. It Is the only way to advance rapidly and with success.' Ho best succeeds who, In ndvanco to demand, knows his abil ities and shortcoming, who Is able best to estimate his capacity for produc tion, mental or physical. Prepare In cessantly for promotion, and promo tion must come. Neglect to prcparo for Uio future, and thero will be no future. It Is such neglect that has spelled stagnation for millions la tho past, that will spell stagnation for mil lions hi the future. Mllwnukco Journal. DAKOTA COUNTY HOG FEEDING RECORD (From Farm Bureau News.) Over a year ago when the Food Ad ministration promised hog raisers that they would do their utmost to maintain the nrlce so that 13nounds of pork would sell for as much as a bushel of corn, thero was a great deal of question in tho minds of somo people as to whether pork could bo profitably produced at that ratio: and whether tho government would be ablo to maintain the price. With the idea of securing some definite datn on this subject wo co operated with Mr. Win. G. Rohde, a farmer living near Nacoro. Mr, Rohde had a very fair herd of grade hogs, with very usual sheds and oth er equipment. The hogs taken for this work wero 259 pigs, at weaning time, weighing an averago of 30 lbs., nnd 3 boars weighing about 200 lbs. each. Sickness entered tho herd and took as its toll 32 of the pigs, but while still quite young. Tho feeds arc all figured at mar ket price at the timo they wero fed, excepting a small amount of corn which was fed at tho price paid a grower, which in this caso was slightly more than tho market price nt tho timo it was fed. The corn listed at $1.10 per bushel was of tho 1917 crop and of quite a low grade. Tho ground feed was half corn and half oats. The corn was figured at $1.40 per bushel and tho oats 05c per bushel, with an allowance of 5c por bushel for grinding. The following is a summary of tho work which ran from Juno 7th, to February 2Gth, 1919: Interest on $824.16 equip- at 5 per cent $ 41.20 Worm remedies, tonics, etc.. 69.65 Vetoi '.mry hire 10.00 Sali .... 10.15 Ground feed (corn and oats) 1011 bushels 1118.07 Corn, 710 bushels, 1917 crop , at $1.10 781.00 Corn, 1050 bushels, at $1.30 per bushel 1305.00 Corn, 570 bushels, nt $1.40.. 798.00 Corn, 175 bushels, snapped, at $1.25 218.75 Corn, 928 bushels "hogged . off," at $1.25 1160.00 Oats, 1090 bushels, at G5c. . . . 708.50 Tankage, 14 tons at $100 per ton 175.00 Shorts, 14 tpns at $60 75.00 Pasture, 6 and one-sixth acres, at $6.00 37.00 Labor, 2 hrs. per day for 264 Stinson's Specials for Saturday, Apr. 19 FOK THIS DAY ONLY Peas, Corn or Tomatoes, per can. 15c 3 pkgs.

At tho beginning of tho feeding operation the 259 pigs were valued at $5.00 each, and tho boars at $35 each, making $1400.00. Taking this from tho nbovo balance leaves a clear profit over all expenses, after allow ing market price for all feeds, of $582.71. But, to return to tho primary ob ject of the test, that of finding tho ratio between tho selling prico of hogs, and tho valuo of n bushel of corn, It was found 'that tho average value of tho corn fed wa3 a fraction less than $1.28 por bushel. Tho av erago prico received for a pound of pork was a trlflo over 17 cents, per pound. Thirteen times tho selling prico of n pound of pork would bo $2.21, so that, at least in this case, tho prico was maintained. When tho original valuo of tho pigs was added to tho total cost. It was found that tho cost of producing ono pound of pork under these figures was 10.03 cents per pound. MATRIMONIAL VENTURES.
