North America be asked to give
financial Support to the plan to
extend the denomination in all
these places in a more organized
way than ever before.
The plan, if adopted, would re-
quire the sending out of a large
number of ministers,Bible work-
ers, school teachers, and other
gospel laborers, as well as an in-
crease in the missionary appro-
priations of $200,000 a year over
what it was last year.
The petition asking that these
plans be made at: the coming
Fall Council of the General Con-
ference was signed by Elder A.
G. DanieHs, president of the
General Conference, who has
been on a tour among the mis-
sion stations of the Far East for
the past year; R. C. Porter, sup-
erintendent of the Chinese, Jap-
anese, and Philippine Island
fields; J. E. Fulton, president of
the Australasian Union Confer-
ence, and H. R. Salisbury, sup-
erintendent of the India Union
Mission.
“Nearly all of these teeming
millions are heathen,” says the
petition. “They are intensely
religious, but they grope in the
darkness of superstition and idol-
atry. In many respects this is
unquestionably the most difficult
field in the world to evangelize.
But this work, as gi4at and as
difficult .as it is, must be done,
the Seventh-day Adventists have
put their hands to the task/’
In mentioning the pressing
demands, the petition urged that
suitable places of worship where
the ministers and other gospel
workers could be brought to-
gether for instruction, encour-
agement, and ^organization be
erected; that more training
schools be established and teach
ers sent out for the training of
young men and women who have
accepted Christianity and' are
anxious to carry the“good news”
to their own people, that print-
ing plants be provided where lit-
erature in the native languages
might be prepared for distribu-
tion.
The field now known as the
Asiatic Division, which includes
China, Manchuria, Japan, Korea,
the Philippines, the India Union
Mission, and Australasia are

the rices reaching the market
have been from the River and
Tesch and due to the rainy wea-

hesitated to store them for that
reason.

Seventh Day Adventist
Members of the Seventh-day
Adventist denomination in this
city have been apprised of a
movement tnat has been started
toward organizing all the far
Eastern lands into one division
conference similar to those in
North America and Europe,
which would mean the coopera-
tion of the local constituency in
increasing the funds of the
whole General Conference for
missionary purposes to between
$800,000 and $900,000 a vear.
The believers have cheerfully
contributed toward raising about
,$600,000 for foreign mission en-
deavor last year, and they will
gladly add their proportionate
increase in order to see advent
movement penetrate further into
the dark corners of the earth.
The loq^l followers nave been
notified thkt a petition has just
recently been received at the
world’s headquarters of the de-
nomination in Washington, D.C.
from Shanghai, China, asking
that Japan, Korea, Manchuria,
China, Mongolia, India, the Phil-
ippines, the Malay Peninsula,
Siam, Australasia, the East In-
dies, and other countries in the
Orient be set off into what would
be known as the Asiatic Division,
and that the constituency in

Honduras Shortage.
The mere fact that the Hon-
duras crop this year will be a
million bags short of last year
and over a million bags under
the five year average has not in
any manner influenced the “pi-
rates” in their determination to
force down the price. The fol-
lowing figures cover the acreage
and production of Honduras for
the past five years:
Year Acreage Production
1910 399,000 3,184.000
1911 380,000 3,040,000
1912- 400,000 3,200,000
1913 445,000 ' 3,115,000
1914 385,000 3,080,000
From the best available figures
we estimate the 1915 production
of Honduras in Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas as follows:
River and Tesch, 48,000 acres,
528.000 sacks.
Southwest Louisiana, 76,000
acres, 456,000 sacks.
Arkansas, 68,000 acres, 750,
000 sacks.
Texas, 87,000 acres, 350,000
sacks.
Total: 279,000 acres, 2,084,000
sacks.

over-production, and now the “pi-
rates” who would J>reak the mar-
ket below the cost of production
tell you that the low prices are
caused by financial stringency;
but does the financial stringency
enable you to buy other commod-
ities cheap? Does it make flour
cheap? Does it make beans
cheap? Does it make bacon
cheap? Does it make anything
cheap but rice? And is that any
cheaper to the consumer than it
has been?
The clean rice trade always be-
comes alarmed at violent fluctu-
ations in the price and the only
way to stabilize the market and
increase consumption is to stand
firmly for fair prices. The trade
wants advancing, not falling,
prices.
