They aroused great interest and also served to arouse the country iieople to a keener Hense of competition. Today the program has been contin ued without interruption. The races in the afternoon claimed the attention of many and tonight the usual program will be offered. The fair will come to a close late to night.

FOR EXPANSION OF FOREIGN MISSIONARY WORK Wan submitted to the United Lutheran Church of America, fir the A»«odntMt Pma.) Chicago, (let. 25.—Three important projects looking to the expansion of its missionary work in foreign fields were submitted to the United Lutheran Church in. America today for approval by Us biennial convention in session here. They contained in the report of the Lutheran Board of Foreign .Mis sions and include the following recom mendations: Tib purehllse from the Berlin Mission ary Society of Germany its entire mis sionary establishment in Shantung, Chian for $183,500 and for its operation hereafter by the Lutheran Mission Board. v To build a Lutheran college in India for the use and advancement, of nil Protestant missions and churches in the Teiuga area, to be known as the Andhra Christian college. The initial cost is estimated at $300,000. The Lutheran convention is asked to approve a pro ject by the mission board to raise that sum for capital expenditure and en dowment- That the Board of Foreign Missions be authorized to cooperate with the Plata Synod of the Lutheran Church in organising a United Lutheran Church n South America on the same doctrinal basis ns the United Lutheran Church in North America. The Shantung Mission, located in one of the most densely populated provinces of China, already has been tnken over by the Lutheran Missionary Board under an agreement to pay the $185,500 for its transfer in ten annual install ments. To carry on the work of this mission, the board asks for a special ap propriation of $60,000 a year. Concerning the proposal to establish the Christian College in India, the Lutheran Board states in Its report : “AH indications are now pointing toward the establishment of this col lege in our Telugue area, in which our church has been asked to take a lending part. This mighty evangelizing torce must be heartily supported. Our church must, not fail here. Os the $500,000 named, not less than $300,000 should be raised for this high endeavor, to domi nate education in our part of Indin by Christianity. We dare not be cold or faint-hearted ,in these days. Our plans must be backed by consecrated gifts.” Hie Lutheran Foreign Missions Board entered the Argentine field four years ago.' It. says: “The La Plata synod hae shown itself most friend’y to our mission and steps are being taken to unite in the founding ofthe future of a United Lutheran Church in Argen tina. The plan in contemplation is to work for a German-Spanish Lutheran Church.” Expedituree ofthe mission board for the two years since the last, convention have totaled $1,642,266, which has al most been balanced by receipts. There have been baptized converts in foreign fields to the number of 125,000 and it is estimated that these, in turn, in fluence a community many times larger. Os the'total budget the Women’s Msisionary Soifaty ContrUnited $415,- 425. This society supports 44 mission aries and makes large grants to the funds expended jointly with the mission board in several foreign fields. The Board reports that the collapse of the German missionary societies dur ing the World War forced the United Lutheran eliurch to expand its opera tions in Asia and Africa. In India, the Mission Board’s largest veld, the Luth eran Church has 90 miesionaries, 3220 Indian Christian workers and 150,000 members. Extensive plans for expanding its work in Japan are announced.
