The Stockton Record says it's too
bad that the world's series and elec

There seems to be some confusion

General Johnson has the tempera

Having traveled more or less and

"hick" town folk.

The poet who sang long ago about
man wanting but little here below
probably could have soared to great
er poetic heights if he could have
heard the humble statements by the

changed the rhyme to something
about man wanting the world with
a fence around it.

I f James Whitcomn Riley were in

that, there are no pumpkins. If we
have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving
this year, we probably will iake it
out of last year's canned pumpkins.

Mary McCormie, the opera star, of
whom much has been printed about
her romances but little about hei

fond her "ideal man" and that she

to libel Mary's unidentified hero, but
it is only fair to point out that her
last "ideal man" was one of the

The language purists have made

While mothers, chiefly, are the

books is ended.

The California man who would re
vive business by paying everybody
$200 a month of government money
and requiring him to spend it. has
a good scheme, but it doesn't go far
enough. He should also require each
beneficiary to spend half of it for li
qor and habit-forming drugs. Then
the national demoralization would be
complete.

Episcopal Women
Make Gifts to
Their Church
Woman's Auxiliary o! Church Itas
Presented $4,000,000 to the
Church in Past Years.
A golden alms basin on which has
been placed through forty-two years
approximately $4,000,000 in gifts to
the Episcopal church by the women
members of the communion, will be
used in Atlantic City on October
11th, when the Woman's Auxiliary
of the church, meeting in conjunc
tion with the fifty-first triennial
Episcopal General Convention, will
present its seventeenth united thank
offering to the church at a corporr
ate communion service in the Atlan
tic City Auditorium. It is the hope
alike of the officers and cf the ai
pu.ximately 500,000 members of the
organization in all parts of the world
that the 1934 united thank offering
will not fall behind the million dol
lar mark which was established for
the gift at the general convention of
192S, meeting in Washington, when
$1,001,130.40 was deposited on the
golden alms basin. At the Denver
convention of 1931, the U. T. O. to
talled $.1059,575.27.
A romantic story of women's de
votion and Christian zeal attaches
to the famous alms basin which
has been an object of deep interest
in the exhibit of the Episcopal
church at the Century of Progress
exposition in Chicago for the past
two years. Back in June, 1S52, Wil
liam Heathcote De Lancey, bishop
of western Xew York and Samuel Al
len McCoskry, bishop of Michigan
accompanied by Rev. Jonathan M
Wamwright, secretary of the Epis
copal House of Bishops, went to
England on the invitation of the So
ciety for the Propagation of the Gos
pel, to represent the American
church, on the occasion of the third
jubilee of that venerable society
They were received enthusiastically,
and on the afternoon of June 21st.
they found themselves at Oxford
where, in the garden of Exeter Col
lege, in the presence of a distin
guisneu assembly including the fa
mous Dr. Pusey and Lord Chief Jus
tice Coleridge. Regius Professor ot
Divinity concluding his address ol
welcome said:
"It was the ancient custom of this
great university, that guests should
Dear witn tliem trom its halls some
little memorial of the joy with
which their visit has been wel
comed; ' and thereupon presented to
the two American bishops the alms
basin, which Bishop McCoskry ac
eepted as an "unexpected and beau
tiful testimonial of affection, not to
us. but to the church which we rep
resent." The alms basin is about 22 inches
in diameter. The border is silver gilt,
beautifully chased; the central panel
of solid gold, showing the offering of
the Magi. Its total weight is IS oz
12 dwts. On its face is the in
script ion :

The
church
Woman's Auxiliary of the
was organized in 1S71. Its
first United Thank Offering was pre
sented to the church in 1SS9 as the
result of a suggestion made by Mrs.
il. II. Soule, tht ii a member of the
Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh.
Then, and since, every United Thank
Offering has been presented on this
historic alms basin. On this basin,
during the successive triennial gen
eral conventions of the Episcopal
church since 1SS9, have been pre
sented the United Thank Offering
which is woman's own special con
tribution to the church from the ut
termost parts of the earth. In far
off China, in the snow-fields of Alaska,
in equatorial Africa, the Philippines
and the West Indies, as well as in
continental Untied States, the women
of the church lay by day by day,
their yen, rupees, pesos, shillings,
milreas and pennies to swell the
fund .The native women of Alaska
make fur bags and mocassins, the;
Indian women lace and bead work,
Chinese women and the women ofj
Hawaii, as well as Brazil, Mexicc
and the West Indies contribute their
handiwork; and into every city, town
and hamb t in the United States and
foreign lands where the church oper
ates, go to the little blue boxes of
the Woman's Auxiliary, into which
a steady stream of contributions
pours. At the end overy three-year
period, in the early days of every
triennial general convention of the
church, the combined gift is placed
upon the golden alms basin at a
special corporation communion serv
ice, to carry forward the work which
the womtn of the church are doing
throughout the world.

offering has grown into one of the
largest individual revenues of the
Episcopal church. The first offering
that of 1SS9 amounted to $2,
1SS.64. Three years later it was
$5G.10S.35. The $100,000 mark was
reached in 1901, and then, by leaps
and bounds, the triennial gift in
creased until the million dollar mark
was reached at the general conven
tion meeting in Washington in 192S.
Government
Funds to Reach
Stale This Fa!!
Flow of Money in Crop Reduction
Program Expected to Aid in
Material Prosperity.
Reports compiled recently in Wash
ington show that the payments tc
1)0 made by the federal government
in connection with its 1934-19:.5 crop
reduction program in N'fbr.-.ska will
reach a total of $41.4S5.000. Of this
amount only $r.,i::s.000 had been
paid up to August 1 of this year.
This leaves $36,347,000 yet to be
paid in this state. It is exported that
this full amount will have been paid
out by next March. A larg part is
being distributed now and will be
during the next two nirmlhs. The
figures given here do not include
drouth and other relief payments.
There has been a general impres
sion that a large part of the money
to be paid out by the government
in connection with its crcp reduction
program has already been distributed
and there has been a feeling of dis
appointment that these payments
have not had a more beneficial effect
upon business conditions. It is prob
able that when discussing this mat
ter with your townsmen, :-v.rge:-ting
that the crop payments should be
bringing an improvement in your
community, they have come back
with the statement that they have
not as yet been able to see ;.r.i; h im
provement that they ceuid trace tc
that source.
The answer to thi is provided by
the figures givon above. Crop re
duction, payments to farmers have
had comparatively little effect on
local business conditions in Nebras
ka because very little money has:
been paid out so far in this state.
When Xebraskans are advised that
of the total amount to be paid tc
farmers in this state only a little
more than 10l." has been distributed
up to August 1 and that ?3C. 347.000

Crop reduction payments in all
states for 1934-1935 are expected to
total not less than $775,402,000 not
including drouth or other relief pay
ments. Of this total only $248,093,
S39 had been paid on August 1. Most
of this money went into nine south

7C.6 7o of the total.
It is generally known that the con

FRANCE ABANDONS QUOTAS
Paris. The I'nited States is ex
pected to increase its trade with
France as as result of the latter na
tion's announcement of intention to
abandon the import quota system
Nov. 1. Altho tariffs probably will
be higher under the new unlimited
entry system, importers say they will
sell more American goods than they
were allowed to import under the
small quotas.
Benefits to the Fnited States also
include clarifications of a hitherto
confused procedure. It was recalled
that whenever France changed her
duties during the past year, simul
taneously the United States was de
piived of the benefits of the mini
mum rates she enjoyed and was put
on maximum schedules. In some
cases the United States returned to
the minimum position after embassy
protests.
ASK QUALITY STANDARDS
Omaha. The Douglas count 3' con
sumer council, organized recently
under federal auspices, Wednesday
repeated that in the opinion of the
council "consumers must demand
that NItA codes he revised to stinu-
te use of labels which tell plainly
the qualitv- standard of the goods."
The council also reported that "the
new N it A labels ma3' mean some
thing to the trade but are of little
help to the consumer who wishes to
buy on quality specifications." A
third conclusion was that consum
ers must be educated to interpret
the labels after they are revised to
show plainly the standard of the
goods.
