Wwley Jllble Class Federation. The Wesley Bible Class Federation ?^hich la to be held at Wilson. April ?-11 gives promise of being one of the nou attractive and tar reaching meet ings of the year in any part of the state. The program shows th;;t a number of the choicest h p makers in the land arc to address the rYderaiion while the subjects to be discussed are an indication that the message will be btrong, timely and to tliQ point. Be low is a tentative list of speakers aud aul^i^pts: The Federation begins Tuesday ev ening, April 9th at 8:00 o'clock with opening address by Governor T. W. Bickett. Just preceding this L)r. W. P. Few, of Trinity College. President of the Federation, will deliver the President's 'message to the Federa. lion. Wednesday morning at 9:30 there will bw a devotional service which will usher In a full day at Wilson. Among the men and messages of the day are the following: F. N. Parker, T>,- D., of Emory Uni versity, Atlantr. Ga. "Buair.ers as LVial" by Col. J. F* Bruton, V. llson, fs. C. "Recruiting the Ranks" by C. D, Bulla, Nashville, Tenn. "The Training Camps'* by W. Peele, Durham, N. O. Wedneday at the evening hour, Dr. J. S. Montgomery, of Washington, p. C., will address the Federation Drl Montgomery comes to represent thfc Government at this time, to bring a message dealing with the church and the war. In fact the entire session id largely militant both In term and spirit. Those who want to hear a wide-awake discussion of the great problems of the times and the part ~Uie church has to play In their solu tion cannot afTord to miss this great obnventlnn. On Thursday morning the Federa tion will be addressed by Mr. H. A. "Page or by some one selected by him to represent his department. Rev. H. tf. Spence. Sunday School Field Sec. retary of the North Carolina Confer ?ice will speak on the subject: "Sol ers, Slackers and Slickers". Dr. ulla will probably address the con . vention a second time on some timely ?subject. Other speakers of impor tance may be added to the program. While the program is strongly mill. t*nt and allied to the interests of the war. it is not to be supposed that th6 business of the church is to be neglec ted Mr. J. M. Way. of South Caro lina. will be present to conduct two or more Round Tal ie discussions on some problems of Bible Class Work. H* will be assisted by prominent workers of the state. All in all. the program promises to be worth going many a mile to hear It is contiden'ly expected that hun dreds will avail themselves of the ???r.ortunt*y of !:e.iring these speech ftrnfii Mr. T.

Farm Situation Misrepresented.. A prominent southern dally says: v] "Out of 13.800,000 men engaged j in farm industries thus far only 205.000 have been drafted, or about 1.48 per cent of the wholqf , number. Certainly farmers trave no right to complain of so small i ? a proportion having been taken for actfve/ military service." As a Utir sample of editorial Inef ficiency, command us to the writer of the abo#e. He has not touched side ox bottom of the argument he essays :o combat. He has proceeded on an assumption of his own. and which is as far from the facts as the east from the west. If the mere fact of the draft and those ii takes from the farm were an the farmer has to contc--"l with, he would indeed have no ground for omplalnt. But the draft is really the 'lualU'st of the sources of depletion of .'arm help. Tiie fact is that for the four years every'change in busi ?.ass millions. has worked against lll.e :'ar:,is. "Men Lave teen leaving the farms in a steady and uninterrupted .-'ream ever sin'/e the opening of hos. tiiicies in Francfc. . ? H ig!T_ prices never fail to militate a alj=i the'TanJcr. Along with prices of all t-cir.moditk-s. prices for labor : !so rise When "his occurs the man ufacturing indus'.rivs draiu the farms [of thousands of laborers, attracted ?thither by the difference In prices of .labor there and on the farm. This has been the caso in steadily increasing proportion ever since .the outbreak of v.;\r in Kurope. Scarcely a town or .hamlet or countryside in the entire untry that hasn't seen score* and j hundreds of its best brain and brawn : drawn to the great centers of indus try. The munitions plants tho steel ! mills, the auto factories, and dozens .i/f other industries have doubled and ticVud iiielr normal output, and the iii.^ica>ed labor. If not drawn directly from i he farms, at least was drawn frC.ni sources allied to the farms and which in turn was forced to draw on the farms for their supply. The farmers do not contend that the draft in Itself is the cause of their straightened condition as regards la bor. They do, however, maintain that the draft, coming as a cap sheaf on all that has preceded it, will work them great hardship unless the terms M per cent of the young men on the farm. The suggestion that the farms draw on other sources for help, wonld be all very well if the help could be drawn from those other sources in the first place, and if it was efficient in the next place. But prices of labor in the Industries are out of all proportion to what farmers can afford to pay for help, even competent help. Incom petent help that must be trained U useless to the farmer, as he'has nelth. er the time nor the Inclination-to un dertake the task of training at this stage of affairs.
