Gen. Funston Is a Small Man
Holding a High Place—Candler
A small man occupying a high
place generally exhibits discredita
ble folly, if not shameful sin, while
thus misplaced.
We have a case in point in a re
cent performance of General Fun
ston. who is tn command of the
American forces on the Mexican bor
der.
Dr. J. B. Gambrell, of the Texas Bap
tist state mission board, proposed to the
home mission board to send its
evangelistic staff to the border for the
purpose of co-operating with the Bap
tists of Texas m work among the sol
diers there. The home mission board
:..'ceded to the request, and the evan
gelist* began preparation for the work,
in the meantime Dr. Gambrell went to
see General Funston to get permission
to hold the meetings among the soldiers,
and to assure this officer of the army
proper respect would be given to
military requirements in holding the
services When the doctor arrived. Gen
eral Funston did not see him. but he left
a message for him with the chief of
staff. *
The message was to the effect that it
would be agreeable for the preachers
representing the Baptists to preach to
th- soldiers, provided they did not tell
brell was fur told by the chief of
staff that General Funston did not want
revivals among the soldiers. This in
formation to Dr. Gambrell was of the
nature of final military orders, and he
wrote to General Funston that the terms
Imposed upon the evangelistic campaign
which had been planned were not ac
ceptable.
Cbuld anything be more ridiculous
and reprehensible than this per
formance of the little general from
Kansas* By military order he pro
poses to determine that preaching
to the soldiers concerning their lost
condition as sinners Is not proper.
\<e also puts a mark of discredit
upon revivals of religion. Here is
a military censor passing upon a
theological doctrine, and also upon
a religious procedure. What sort
of authority has the pompous little
commander for issuing orders of
this kind? Is thete a sensible man
in America who would think for a
moment that General Fred Funston
is competent to pass officially upon
any religious subject?
ft Is but a few years ago he was
a ktnd ol adventurer in the Cuban
army. From the service of the in
surrectionary forces in Cuba he
nassed into the American army, and
by a series of fortunate circum
stances has finally come to occupy
the place he now holds at San An
tor’o. He is wanting in both intel
lectual culture and the highest mili
tary training, but he assumes to say
the doctrine that men are lost sin
gers can not be preached to soldiers,
and that revivals of religion must
not be promoted in camps.
What a contrast such a man presents
•o those m’ghty leaders of the Confeder
ate forces. General Robert E. Lee. Stone
wall Jackson. A. P. Hill and others!
These truly great men made no slightest
objection to the great revivals which
prevailed in the army es Virginia in 1363.
At that time there were notable revivals
in the brigades of General Wilcox, Gen-

General Garnett. General Pen

extraordinary movements of divine grace
were not discouraged by General Lee and
General Jackson. They were' far too in
telligent and far too devout tOj perpetrate
any such foolish performance as that
which General Funston has now ex
ecuted.
The spirit of the great captains is
beautifully illustrated by a passage from
the book entitled. "Christ in the Camp."
written by Dr. J. William Jones, one of
Lee’s chaplains, which reads as follows:
"Let us go some bright Sabbath morn
ing to that cluster of tents in the grove
across the Massaponax, not far from
Hamlliton’s Crossing. Seated on the
rude logs, or on the ground, may be seen
fifteen hundred or two thousand men,
with upturned faces, eagerly drinking tn
the dust during prayer, or listens with
sharpened attention and moist eyes as
the preacher delivers his message, is our
loved Commander-in-Chief. General R. E.
Lee: that devout worshipper who sits at
his side, gives his personal attention to
the seating of the multiure, looks so su
premely happy as he sees the soldiers
thronging to hear the Gospel, and lis
tens so attentively to the preaching, is
•Stonewall* Jackson; those ‘wreaths and
stars' which cluster around are worn by
some of the illustrious generals of that
army: and all through the congregation
the ‘stars' and ‘bars’ mingle with the
rought garb of the ‘unknown heroes* as
the rank and file, who never quail amid
the leaden and iron hail of battle, but
who are not ashamed to ‘tremble’ under
the power of God’s trutn. I need not
say that this is Jackson's hadquarters,
and the scene I have pictured one of fre
quent oecurrene.”
If General Funston had been a com
mander in the Army of Virginia, of
course he would not have attended such
a service: but who can think of suchi
a man being a commander in that great
army? Such a small martinet would
have been utterly out of place in asso
ciation with Robert E. Lee, Stonewall
Jackson. John B. Gordon. Alfred Col
quitt and Clement A. Evans. He could
not have endured companionship with >
men of such lofty character, and hd
would have been still more intolerable
to them.
This incident does not concern the
Baptists alone. If General Funston
can thus deal with that great de
nomination, he can deal with every
other Church in the country after
the same manner, and tell all the
Christian bodies of the land what
their ministers may, or may not,
preach to the soldiers, and what sort
of services they may, or may not,
hold. The matter should be brought
to the notice of the authorities at
Washington, that this man may be
taught a lesson in military decency
and propriety. The American people v
will not tamely submit to have
such a self-constituted censor of
religious teaching and Christian
rpethods. On what hath this little
soldier of fortune fed that he has
grown so great?
It is to be hoped that Dr. Gambrell
and his friends will not delay to take
up the matter with the War Department.
They owe this duty to themselves and
to the religious people of America of
all denominations.
The soldiers on the border are not in
danger of too much religion becoming
prevalent among them. The moral dan
gers which beset them are even greater
, than the bodily perils to which they may
,be exposed. At this time they are not
in active campaigning, but are assem
j bled in camps, and have much leisure.
I Nothing could be more helpful to them,
both as men and soldiers, than religious
services of the most fervent character.
They may have to go eventually into
Mexico, where their religious privileges
will not be so good even as in the camps
which they now occupy. The present
lime cannot be better employed than lr»
promoting their moral and spiritual wel
fare.
Doubtless they need much drilling
and military training, but the spirit of
the men is a matter of far more im
portance than any mere expertness in
the execution of military' tacticse. (Even
the ungodly Napoleon perceived and
said that in war the moral element in
an army is worth ten times as much
as the physical element. In this view
the great Corsican was in perfect agree
ment with all the notable commanders
of armies in Chritendom. So thought
Cromwell, so believed Marlborough, and
Washington and Lee. But the little
general from Kansas, who has had prec
ious little military experience save that
which he had in Cuba and the Phllip
i pine Islands, evidently is disposed to
' reverse the judgment of all these great
' captains.
Under General Funston’s command
j are thousands of men who have been
I brought up under the influence of the
Baptist faith, and still more thousands
who have been taught to believe that
men are lost sinners, and who have
been blest in other days by great re
vivals of religion. He has no right
to interefere with the religious liberty
of these men, nor to discredit the Chris
tian beliefs and practices of the pray
ing fathers and mothers, whom they
hake left behind as they have gone
forth at the command of their coun
try. His conduct in this matter is a
piece of intolerable tyranny, which
ought not to be endured for a moment.

RE-ESTABLISHING THt KINGDOM
OF POLAJD.
Ever since I shed copious tears read
ing “Thaddeus of Warsaw,” seventy
years ago. my sympathies have been
enlisted on the side of Poland. Wheth
er tha novel that made me cry was a
true story or otherwise, th> woes of
Poland have been a theme for sOng
and story for more than half a cen
tury.
The partition of Poland between Rus
sia. Prussia and Austria, in the time
of Frederick the Great, and Maria
Theresa, was deliberate!}- planned and
systematically perfected and Poland
was thus delivered over to Jler masters.
Crowded in between great and spacious
kingdoms. Poland could not unchain
herself. If either one of the great rul
ers attempted to agitate Poland, there
was nothing left but submission. And
Poland has been overrun in the present
war, devastated.and exhausted. Russia
and Germany have both contended in
bloody dispute on Polish soil.
But there is a movement now on foot
to restore the kingdom of Poland, plan
ned by Germany and Austria, with the
intention of shutting off Russia, a sort
of diversion which may have a weak
place in the divide, when Russia at
tempts to settle her part of the bar
gain It may be understood right now
that Russia and Russia’s allies will have
a pretty loud say so, before a new
kingdom in Poland is finally establish
ed under a German and Austrian pro
tectorate.
Turkey- may be re-established in a
similar way and there should be ex
acted a fabulous ransom fund from
Turkey for the restoration of the Ar
menian provinces.
We hear a great deal about the crime
of Belgian occupation, but the promis
cuous slaughter of the Armenian Chris
tlans heads the list for barbarous atro
city. Germany and Austria will do well
to place a check rain on the cruel and
blood-thirsty Turk.
PROTECT YOUR GOOD NAME!
A good reputation once tarnished, is
never regained in the community where
the tarnish is well known. Such un
fortunates should go elsewhere and be
gin the start over again. Nevertheless
the unfortunates can never forget it,
and it will continue to affect life and
character. I am moved to write this
because I have encountered a case,
where a man with a large family has
to endure the tarnish stain and It af
fects the reputation of all the family.
It Is the old story of the innocent suf
fering for jthe guilty. A young man
who drops down and is overcome with
temptation, is handicaped for life. He
has deeply wounded himself and by his
own let. It appeared to be well con
cealed at the time of happening, but
it will work out (like a cancer), into
the open, where it can and will be seen
eventually. But if by chance It remains
concealed from outsiders, his loss of
self-respect is a sore calamity.
There are degenerates, however, who
care nothing for character, nothing for
the shame inflicted on those bound to
them by ties of blood, and outraged af
fection, but even such derelicts become
a perpetual stain upon the family name
and reputation. What a mercy it is
when the grave closes over their heads
and those who suffered for them pray
ed for them and spent sleepless nights
for them, can be relieved of the sight
of them.
I have been reading the story of the
gifted Bronte sisters (and Charlotte
Bronte, the authoress of Jane Eyre, and
Shirly. holds first rank everywhere and
for air time), who had a degenerate
brother who made then- home miserable
by his dissolute and degenerate habits:
and the vivid effect comes out in the
writings of those magnificent women,
where the strain on their mental forces
was so painfully acute and humiliating.
They were tortured by their affection
for this only brother, and he, burn of
jhc same parents and reared in the
same home, made haste to reach low
levels in vice and degradation. The
reading world has unfailing pity for the
long-suffering sisters and one feels dis
posed to ask why such ne’er-do-wells
are so often imposed upon high-toned,
upright and truth-loving families. A
person can be worth a million dollars
and remain poor, If he has lost his
self-respect!
AUTOMOBILE TRAGEDIES.
The tragic death of the mother of Mr.
Fielding Smith, when informed of her
son's fatal accident between midnight
and day last Sunday morning. Impresses
itself ver}- emphatically upon those who
were acquainted with the family and
those who were bound to them by ties of
Interest and affection. Two deaths —two
coffins and two funerals —all growing out
of that fatal automobile excursion—al
most within the limits of Atlanta. The
lesson taught by the Incident, deals
mainly with rash automobile driving.
These auto cars rarely kill their owners
and drivers when proper care is taken —•
a proper speed limit regarded, and prop
er hours used for joy riding. They are
safer than horses —when they are care
fully handled, because a horse, like all
other animals —will take spells of get
ting scared and I have sometimes
thought, owing to defective or failing
eyesight—where least expected. Au
tomobiles are liable to acidents also,
with defective motors or bursting
wheels. Therefore it is especially pru
dent to guard against too much speed
and too careless driving.
But the part that moved my earnest
sympathy was the excessive grief of the
mother! I am inclined to believe that
her heart-strings snapped, and the vital
spark went out under this strain upon
her motherly affection. Thus It is that
no one lives to themselves or can die to
themselves. For my part, I confess to
a constant fear in speed-driving auto
cars. I may yet meet my death as so
many are doing in a wild-auto car, but
I am doing my-best to a void speed-fiends
at the wheel, while lam in them. •

Fruit Culture Along With
Poultry Raising Proves to
Be Profitable Investment
Two Money Crops May Be
Grown on the Same Land,
Prof. Frederic H, Stoneburn
Points Out
BY PROF. FREDERIC H. bTONEBUBN.
(Copyright, 1914, by Matos-Menz Advt,
Co., Inc. >
Practically every otic who has land
enough to maintain a flock of poultry i» in
position to grow some kind of fruit. The
two lines of work combine beautifully,
each actually benefiting the other tu many
ways.
Prof. Stonobnrn's timely and suggestive
contribution deaerres the thoughtful consid
eration of every poultryman who desires to
secure the greatest profits from his plant.
One often wonders why so many poul
trymen confine their adult birds in hot,
sun-baked yards and grow their chicks
on shadeless ranges, in view of the fact
that fruit trees will furnish the neces
sary shade and protection and yield a
profitable crop in addition. It cer
tainly looks like poor business judg
ment to fail to take full advantage of
the opportunity to secure two crops
from the same area, especially when
each is a help to the other.
Fruit growing in conjunction witli
poultry keeping may be developed as a
distinct eoTim'ercral enterprise or made
a strictly family table proposition, ac
cording to the amount of available space.
But it is astonishing how much fruit
in considerable cash.
MANY ADVANTAGES.
The advantages possessed by the poul
try-fruit partnership may be briefly
plantation yields a surplus which brings
summed up as follows: The trees and
vines furnish the shade needed by
chicks and hens, they attract many in
sects which the birds enjoy, and the
unmarketable fruit may be incorporated
in the poultry ration. In return, the
fowls keep down the insect pests and
add to the soil much valuable plant food
which causes trees and virtes to make
rapid and vigorous growth.
The one disadvantage of the combina
tion lies in the fact that much of the
pressing work in connection with the
trees comes at the season when poultry
men are busy with Incubators and brood
ers. It often happens that under such
conditions one branch is neglected or
both are only half cared for and then
disappointment is bound to foliow.
Os course, this refers solely to estab
lishments where both fruit and poultry
interests are considerable in extent. On
the home plot this difficulty would not
arise.
Almost any kind of bush, vine or tree
fruits may be grown in poultry yards,
can be. produced on a very small amount
of land and ho woften the home fruit
On rented places, where quick returns are
demanded, the various canes, blackber
ries or raspberries best meet the necessi
ties of the case. These may be set in
rows or in clumps, depending upon the
size and shape of the poultry yards.
Gooseberries and currants may safely be
planted in yards where the chicks are
grown, as they will do litle damage to
the low-hanging fruit.
It must be admitted that chickens of
all ages will pick many of the berries
which are within reach: but what of it?
Many will be left,-and these are all clear
profit, which could not be secured if
bushes were not planted.
Grapes do especially well in poultry
runs, and they are well adapted for use
in places where but little space is avail
able. The vines should be trained over
fences, high arbors or against the walls
of buildings, so the clysters may hang
beyond the reach of the birds. Ip some
cases small yards may be completely
roofed in with grape vines, thus afford
ing a. cool, shady retreat for the fowls
and furnishing a good supply of deli
cious fruit. The writer has frequently
observed this scheme in operation in
city back yards, Invariably to the benefit
of both the bird? and their owners.
Among the fruit trees which may be
used to advantage are apples, pears,
peaches and plums. In crowded loca
tions these may be set close to the walls
of buildings and the limbs trimmed off
close on the side of the tree next to the
wall. If necessary, the trees may be
pruned in lyre akape with their branches
hugging the wall, as is commonly done
in European gardens.
Apple trees are long lived, but are
comparatively slow in growth. For per
manent yards they are mose desirable,
since replanting is not necessary. The
same may be said of pear trees, though '
these are usually upright in form and
do not furnish as much shade as the
wide-spreading anples.
PLUM TREES THRIVE IN POULTRY
RUN.
Plums %eem to thrive especially well
in poultry yards, making rapid and
vigorous growth. The quality of the
fruit grown on plum trees so located is
uniformly good. One of the greatest '
pests of the plum is the cureulio, which
attacks the fruit, causing much of it ;
to fall prematurely, or at least injur
ing its appearance ajid value. The
fowls may be depended upon to reduce i
such loss to the minimum, especially if :
the trees are lighly shaken or jarred ■
daily. This causes the insect to drop to i
the ground, and it never makes the
return trip.
In sections where the peach thrives
trees of this kind are fine for growing
in the poultry runs. They make rapid .
growth; in fact, furnish considerable ;
shade the second year after planting, i
Their foliage is thick, and the trees are .
unusually attractive in appearance.
From blossoms to fruit, the peach is a
source of constant satisfaction.
Os course, the fruit trees should be i
cultivated, fertilized and pruned. Ordi
narily, the hens will attend the first
two items, scratching and wallowing in
the soil and adding to it a constant sup- i
ply of fertilizer which is high in the i
nitrogen content. In exceptional cases, ;
where the yards are heavily stocked
with fowls, too much fertility is sup
plied, resulting in an excessive growth
of wood, at the expense of the fruit.
This condition will not cause trouble
until the trees reach the bearing age.
CAREFUL PRUNING DESIRABLE.
In the matter of pruning, the poultry
man will give his trees different treat
ment than the professional horticul
turist. The latter heads his trees low
in order to reduce the labor of spraying
and picking the fruit. As a rule, low
headed trees are not desirable in the
poultry yard, since they interfere with
the work of caring for the stock. The i
poultryman, therfore, trims his trees in :
such a manner as to Insure “head room’’ !
underneath them.- Any one who has at- ’
tempted to round up a bunch of chicks '
under low trees will appreciate the ad- j
vantage of keeping the lower branches •
well above the ground.
Pruning is necessary in all cases; it I
is especially demanded where trees are
grown in rich soil. Proper pruning pro
motes and conserves the vigor of fruit
trees and retains a proper balance be
tween vegetative growth and fruit pro
duction. It opens up ths branches and i
admits plenty of sunlight, without which,'
much of the fruit will be small in size, i
lacking in color and poor in quality.
An authority on this subject ha« I
tersely summed up the matter as fol
lows: "Lack of pruning is frequently re
sponsible for fruit of small size and in
different quality; for a lack of economy
of the vigor and resources of the tree
which can be directed toward fruit pro
duction, and for premature old age and
final destruction of the tree.”
It is obviously impossible to give spe
cific directions for pruning. This is
regulated by the kind of tree, its loca
tion and other variable factors. So far
as selections permit, each tree should be
as symmetrical and well balanced, not
only because such are more pleasing to
the eye, biff because they have the max
imum bearing surface so distributed as
to receive the required sunlight.
Fruit trees of all kinds are subject to
the attack of Insect enemies and diseases
of various kinds. When grown in poul
try yards they seem to suffer less than
in other locations. This may be due to
the fact that they are usually in vigor
ous condition, and therefore able to re
sist disease, and the fowls are maintain
ing constant warfare against the insects.
However, it is not safe to depend en
tirely upon these favorable conditions.
The only way to insure a good crop of
first-class fruit is to spray the trees
with those insecticides and fungicides
which are known to be effective. The
spray mixtures and seasons vary in dif
ferent localties, so the amateur will do
well to be guided by successful fruit
growers in his vicinity. Most seed and
poultry supply stores carry spray mix
tures in stock, and can supply full direc
tions tor applying them.
If a piece of land can be conveniently
fenced in for the exclusive use of small
chicks, this may well be set out in
strawberries. The chicks, even when
quite young, will pick and spoil some of
the ripening fruit; but their presence in
the patch goes far toward Insuring a
good crop of berries. They spend their
time searching among the plants for in
sect life, and the good they accomplish
in this way more than offsets the dam
age they do the bstffies.
The value of chicks as Insect destroy
ers in the -patch is being recognized by
commercial growers of strawberries in
sections where this crop is an important
one. A gentleman who annually grows
many acres of these berries In southern
Delaware recently told the writer that
he has become convinced that the best
way to fight the troublesome strawberry
weevil is to locate small flocks of chicks
in various parts of the field and let them
range at will. At that time he was pre
paring to hatch several! hundred chicks
for this purpose.

One mistake many women make
in buying coffee
You know how hard it is to get a coffee which really
satisfies you. You know how seldom you can find a
coffee which has the same fine taste and strength
every morning I It can be done. You can do it if,
when you buy coffee, you are careful not to make
the mistakes so many women make. Read the ex
periences below —you yourself have undoubtedly had
one or both of them. <
Beware of loose coffee
Are you buying coffee which you get loose, coffee which
hasn't been protected by a sealed package ?
Are you afraid that it isn’t clear ? Has it lost its aroma?
Are you often disappointed in its strength ? ‘
It isn’t the grocer’s fault. With loose coffee he can’t be
sure that it is the samejcind he got before. You always run
the risk of getting different coffee every time you buy.
And even if the coffee itself were the same, it can’t be
kept “loose” without losing its strength and flavor.
In packages—protected!
You can do away with every one of these disappointments
by ordering the coffee which over one million other families drink.
Ar buckles’ Coffee is such good coffee that way back in
the sixties, when all other coffees on the market were loose
and unprotected, Arbuckle Bros, protected theirs in sealed
packages. This sealed package keeps the coffee’s strength,
and guards it from moisture and store odors. Most important
of all, it makes it easy for you to be sure that you are getting
the same good coffee every time you buy.
The second mistake women make
Old coffee with new names
Are you continually being offered the same old coffee under
new names ? Under all sorts of new blends ?
Did you ever stop to think of the hundreds of coffees
which come and go on the market? And that all of these have
tried to turn women away from Arbuckles’ Coffee ?
Arbuckles’ is the coffee which has gone right out, always
under its own name, never disguised, and held its users simply
on the wonderfal value it gave. You know what good value
a coffee must be to do this against the competition of all the
other coffees America!
' Used in a million homes
*
Settle, for all time, your coffee problem, by giviag your
family the only coffee which over a million families have
proved to have the real coffee taste they want.
When you get Arbuckles’ Coffee you get an entirely dif
ferent coffee. No other coffee goes through the same process
—in no other coffee can you get the same good flavor. The
result of the care Arbuckle Brothers take in selecting it, in |
roasting and in packaging it, gives you ar entirely different |
coffee from any other on the market.
Order it from your grocer today. He has it, in either the
Whole Bean or the new Ground. Try it. See why it is by
far the most popular coffee in America Arbuckle Brothers,
