(By (be Associated l*ress.> Lake Junaluska, July 18.—Not less than 800 students of Sunday school or ganisation and methods are expected to attend the Junaluska Leadership schools during the six weeks' course that was opened on Thursday. July 12, Junuftisku was the starting point for a system of training schools for Sunday school workers and since its small be gifining seven years ago has grown to wide proportions, until now standard training school* are being held at the rate of 2CO a year all over the territory of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, from Cuba and Florida to Cali fornia. The training school idea was the cre ation of Dr. John W. Shackford, who' seven years ago asked permission of the Sunday School Board of the Methodist ! Episcopal Church, south, to project at I Junaluska n demonstration center which would develop into a tyjie find train a leadership for Sunday schools all over the country. "How well the scheme has succeeded,” said Mf*. ('. W. Turpiu, ( Pub licity Director, “is indicated by the fact that the standard training school idea has not only been successful in the Meth odist Church, South, having been adopt ed! by other church boards than the Sunday school for their needs, but ex perts from other denominations hnve come to Junaluska and inspected the school and its workings and (hi* training school for Sunday school workers has become a standard type for religious bodies of various faiths. “Another unique feature of the Sun day school standard training school is that it makes a departure from the old Sunday school institution idea. A stand ard training school such as is now in progress- at I>ake Junaluska is a school in the highest sense of the word. Pu pils enroll for real .work, text books are used, examinations are eonducted a* the close of the course, and credits toward diplomas are given. Furthermore, col leges and universities in recognitio, of the high grade work done in religious j education are giving college credit in this subject for work done at Lake Jun aluska in a leadership training school. "Dr. Sltmkford,- to whose stadv is due the developn ent and progress of the training school system for his denomi nation, was at the last session of the general ednfj'renee of thje Methodist Episcopal Church. South, made ganeral secretary for the Sunday school board. In this capacity he heads up tV ad ministrative department of the beard. The training work is now in the hands of L. F. Sensabaugh, formerly of Okla homa, an expert in this line.

Be Broken Up Filed, in Court by Attorney General. MONOPOLY NOW HELD BY FIRM | Says Petition, Which Charg es That Dissolution Decree of 1918 Did Not Restore Competition. 'By the Associated Press.) St. I’aul, Minn., July 18.—The United States government through Attorney General Daugherty, yesterday filed a pe tition in Federal district court here seek ing divisiou of the International Harvest er Company into.three separate corpora tion*, fcf.rj-' ■ The government alleges That the dis solution decree entered against the com pany in 1018 did ■ not restore competition in the farm implement industry; that the company still is a monopoly; aud that the number of com petit ive concerns is shrinking steadily. The dissolution petition was presented 'by a special representative of the At torney General's office in Washington, which will handle the case for the gov ernment. Th’e Federal court is not in session here now, and the iietition was locked up in a safe until the return of Federal Judge McGee and United States District .Attorney Lafayette French, Jr., from 'Duluth. The filing of the petition brought about a speedy- reply from Alexander Legge, of Chicago, president of the com pany. Mr. I-egge's statement contended that the company was acquitted of wrongful acts and unfair competition iu BUS. He said the petition charges the company with lowering prices to the det riment of competitors, not with raising them to the injury- of the farmer. Hear ings on the petition, he said, will show that the farm machinery prices are thp result of sharp competition in the indus try. The government will seek a new de cree, holding that the Harvester Co. still is a "combination in restraint of inter state trade aud commerce." FRIEDA HEMPEL IS AN OUTCAST •IN GERMANY. HWTMffVE LAND Artist, In Tears, Laments Refusal of Countryden to Lell Her Sing in Ber lin. Berlin) July 18.—With tears in her eyes, Frieda Hempel said today that she cannot get u hearing in the country of her birth. Since the war she has come over regularly to Berlin, but a faction of the Monarchists, who accuse her of being "unfaithful" to Germany during the war, will not let hec sing. It has been publicly proclaimed that if she tries she will be howled down, and she does not want to try unless she is assured there will be no disturbance. "Everywhere else,” she said, “I am welcome.. I sang in London. They invited me to Paris but I refused. In the country of my birth I cannot sing and have no one who will right the wrong done pne. “Each year I come to see if I can sing in the land of my birth. Each year I am prevented by lies circulated during the whr. And not a single newspaper here will help me. The rest of the world proclaims me a great artist. Here in Germany it is almost as if I were an outcast.” The singer first became famous when she attracted the notice of the ex-Kaiser, who called her a great artist. While she was in America, during the war, German newspapers, said she' wrapped the French tri color about herself aud so appeared at an anti-Oeiman mass meeting. She denies this, but ever since she has been banned in Germany. PRESIDENT AND PARTY AGAIN ON HENDERSON Preparing to Leave Seward. After Study-1 ing at Close Hands Conditions in Alaska.

Hamlet. July 18.—The peach growers of the now “Famous Sand Hills of the Cnrolinas,” arc preparing a very elabo- J rate exposition for the 1023 Peach Show,J which is to be held here FrW>— ” 27. The wonderful success <4 state w last year demonstrated whaq .done in the way of an exposiq_ -one T of the coming agricultural industries of the Carolinas. With this fact in view the Fruit - , Growers are holding the show in n larger I building which is being completed for I the occasion. Some ten or twelve thoun ; and feet of floor space are required for the exhibits, and suitable grounds and sheds to take care of the demonstration booths, for the various manufacturers who cater to the needs of the peach grow ers, exhibits of spraying outfits, tractors, and the various modern agricultural ma chinery. That the peach industry bids fair to become one of the greatest assets of this section, is without question. The value of Inst year's crop has been estimated at two million dollars—pos sibly this year’s crop will be in excess of that, even though the crop will be short, it is stated. In addition to the show, prominent ' people from the various adjoining states \ will attend, and demonstrations in con- ! lieetion with the growth and marketing ' of the pencil will be held. These fea i tnqes brought thousand here last year: to get first hand information, and since ' the last show thousands of acres have ! been planted in peaches. The various civic organizations from other places have signified their intention to visit ‘ the show, some of them installing ex hibits of agricultural implements, trnc- 1 tors, automobiles and various other lines. North and South Carolina abound in many undeveloped assets. This very : question of soil and “air drainage” may 1 yet play an important part in future developments, and in time, other progres- ! sive places will be known as the "buckle to the belt" as is Hamlet, becoming the ' "Buckle of the Peach Belt.” i AN AGED BRIDEGROOM !

Now We Have Artificial Wood. Christiania, July 18.—A Norwegian inventor has. after many years of exper iment, discovered a method of quaking ar tificial wood. A mixture consisting of Nawdust, together with chalk and some chemicals, is subjected to heavy pres sure, and the result is a substance pos sessing all the qualities of timber. Its specific gravity is the , same as that of genuine good, its hardness the same as that of oak. It can be planed, sawed, bored, nailed, painted, stained, or relished, and submitted to every pro cess of earrentry or manufacture to which real wood is subjected. It will not deteriorate in water, and, on ac count of the chemicals it contains, is im pervious to rot. Moreover, it only burns !at a temperature very mueh higher than that at which real wood catches fire. The (Nd-Time Hell-Fire Preaching.
