Dr. Buckner's Son Answers Bishop Stuntz in Brief Declare? His Father Was Ejected Because of \ iewfi and Not for Bcinp ‘■fliildisli. " Aurora, Neb, l>ec. 11 —<£*pecial V— In a brief dealing with the li story of the unfrocking of Dr. ,i. D. M. Buck ner, former Methodist pastor of Aur ora, by the recent Methodist confer ence. his son, Emory K. Buckner of New York endeavors to prove that Dr. Buckner was deprived of his right to preach solely because of his views as a progressive Christian and not because he h id tiecnme too old to do effective work in the min stry and had become childish in his interpreta tions of the Bible. This brief lust printed and sent to a number of Methodists, is an answer to a letter recently published by Bishop Homer C. Btunts in wh oh the bishop said that tt was Dr. Bu-kner’s negative preaching, his frequent repe tition of the same platitudes and half truths, the continual riding of this "progressive" hobby, his persistence in setting tip a straw man in the pul- ! pit and In the secular papers and I proceeding to demolish him, which had made him Unacceptable to the confer ence. Ill this litter Bishop Stuntz, speak ing of Dr Buckner, says "His persistent attempt to make it appear that he was retired because lie was a progressive in his thought about the scriptures is childish.” In concluding his brief Emory Buckner says "The evidence is overwhelming that Bishop Btuntz and his cabinet adopted it resolution recommending that the conference refer J. D. M. Buckner to the committee on conference relations for retirement, solely because of his views and because of Ills publication of the article 'A Good God' and be cause of the publication of a summary of his farewell sermon. "The evidence Is overwhelming that the committee on conference relations discussed nothing but theology and recommended retirement solely lie cause of my Nher's views and alleged md screet publication.’’ He says that his attempt to get away from the issue by calling Dr. Buckner childish has become national and that the Methodists of the coun try ure entitled to the truth. He In sists that his father was thrown out of his pulpit been use Aif his teaching that the Bible is not ent rcly inspired and that the Methodists in the confer ence were unable or did not dare dis cuss those teachings, and therefore invoked a technical law of the church to retire Dr. Buckner. Western States Ask Cut in Freight Rates (Continued From Fane tine.) made bv \V. J. Conway, commerce counsel for the Kansas commission, concluded the first day’s hearing. From selected tallies of rates and calculations made from them concern ing which railroad counsel drew him into cross-examination, Mr. Conway*! argued that railroads were now earn ing on wheat shipments amounts ranging from 89 to 101 per cent great er than they earned In 1913. On corn and other’ coarse grains, lie estimated, their returns were from is , 70 per cent great - ,nnn in 1913. On hay in 1913. he said, railroads re ceived amounts ranging from 11 to 46 cents per car mile of the product moved, while today the rates earned them from 20 to 81 cents. On oats, in 1913, car mile earnings were from IS to 81 cents, while today lie esti mated they ranged from 35 cents to $2.32. If a given unit quantity of railroad transportation could be Im agined, he concluded, a farmer in 1913 could buy 16 units with a bushel of wheat, while today he could buy but 11.8 units for the same wheat. The total horsepower of Niagara Falls is about equal to that of all the combined steampower plants of the world. YOU can buy a truck tire. Or you can buy a “special discount."

This problem especially arises as the cold weather sets in and the open window must bo discontinued. A plan which will work admirably is to take two sheets of tinfoil, the size can be adjusted to the capacity desired, cover tho outside of a portion of your window \ ith glue, attach the sheet of foil and apply a coat of shel lac, do the same on the Inside of the window, attach your aerial lead to tho outside foil and the receiving lead to tho Inside foil, grounds can usually .be made on water systems and you have a set up without making en trance through your walls. A suitable lightning arrester may. if desired, be placed on the wall near the window and tho aerial run to this, the other side to tho tinfoil.—11. M. F., Cedar Rapids, la. Sparks A ballot of the fans of the north west shows that instrumental music is more popular than vocal stlec tlons. Classical and semlclasslcal niusio have more votes than jazz. In installing a receiving set, put in on air gap or lightning switch. With out this precaution, the aerial will not be a protection to the house. In the east the libraries have found It necessary to buy heavily of books covering radio subjects, in order to meet the demand of readers. Kxperiments are being made to test the practlbillty of using radio as an auxiliary to railroad telegraph sys tems.
