VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
The Country Church

Is the country church to disappear7
Is the question put by missionary
of the American Sunday School
Union, Mr.. ]. ". Mexican. Mr.. Me-
Kean is merely emphasizing con-
ditions which already have been re-
cognized.
A staff correspondent for The Star,
travelling through Missouri last Octo
Der, wrote on the passing of the
country church. In Boone County he
fluid ten country churches that had
been abandoned In the last ten years
Dean Mumford of the department
of agriculture of the Missouri State
University, and G. B. Ellis, for ten
wears secretary of the state board
Of agriculture, agreed that, conditions
in Boone County were typical of
those throughout the state
One reason, they believed, was the
removal of many of the more sub
siantial families to the towns, which
left too heavy a peeuniary burden
for. those that were left to carry.
Mr.. Mexican suggests that the trou-
bic is a failure on the part of the
Pensioners to realize that ministers
"cannot live on pumpkins and beans
with now, and then a few dollars
thrown in"
But if people neglect an establish
ed institution and fail to support
it, the natural inference is that in
some way it is getting out of touch
with its constituents, and failing to
meet their needs. In this case is the
trouble with the community or with
the Church. or is it due to unavoid-
able natural causes? Whatever the
cause the phenomenon is important.
The Church has been great ideal
istie influence in the country. Is
this flicker out, and if so, what is
10 take its place7
A country church goer asks thas
the above article be published in the
Republican, and he wishes to add
that the same is almost true of the
various communities in Northern
Indiana, while few churches have
been abandoned entirely, the con-
gregations and membership rolls are
miserably small.
Old established churches should be
kept up, if for no other reason than
of having been built years ago and
well worth keeping as neighbor-
hood relic. The writer is of the be-
lief that just as substantial people
are living in the country as there
ever were. The youth are being
crowded from the rural districts in
to the city schools, and the idea
seems to be prevalent that the coun.
try church is not fancy enough. The
spirit rekindled in the young people
will bring back the older ones into
service in the neighborhood.
One community way be cited that
has working Sunday school and
church service. known as the Jacoby
or st. John Church, three miles east
Of Plymouth, which stands as an OLD
land mark, but alive with push
ahead young and old people working
hand in hand. The house is near
ly always filled, though some have
driven for quite a distance. "a
little leven leaventh the whole lump. -

This is a good time to begin keep

In the city would keep his sidewalk

one a bad fall.

WARNING AGAINST
 THE COTTON WORM
Prof. Hinds Says Poison Is Scarce-Estimates Dam-
 age at $40,0OO,0O0

Mobile, August u.-(Special.) )--Fifty six of the s7 counties of the state of Alabama are infested by the cotton worm, accorl- ing to Prof. ". E. Kinds of the Auburn lgrioulta:af exI srin1ent station, and ua- less immediate steps are taken to protect the cotton crop he believes that damage amounting to 20 or 40 per cent will be the result. This, on the basis of last years crop. would mean loss to the farmers of the state of from s2O,o00 600 to s4o.Ooo,ooo
 Professor Hinds reached Mobile this evening for the purpose of consulting with interested parties with reference to the boil weevil and the cotton worm and will remain until tomorrow night in order that he may be able to call upon cotton factors and also have an opportunity to go over a portion of the county.
 In the course of a statement given out tonight he said: "The worms that are ap- bearing in nearly all of the counties of the state are simply the first crop, as 1t is called. In many places these have already spun up and are about to produce moths which will, within a week, have deposite, eggs for the second crop. Therefore, within the next ten days or two weeks we may expect to hear reports of injury by the second crop, which will be at least 10t times as abundant, and likely from 90c to 400 times as abundant as the first crop. This Is the crop that will do great injury to the cotton. The condition IS urgent and planters cannot afford to wait over 94 hours after discovering the worms before the work of poisoning them Is be- gun"
 Professor Hinds states thar the visita- ton this year Is the worst since the year 1875, and the condition is aggravated by reason of the fact that there is not enough poison in the whole United States to take care of the demand that will come from the state of Alabama alone. Manu- facturerers of the east, he says, are con centrating their supplies of Paris green and arsenate of lead and already several car loads have been started for Alabama, so as to be available for immediate use. He emphaticaly bases his statement on the reports from all the other states that
 immediate and urgent measures are nee essary to save the cotton crop. The black belt, In particular, is in danger of i'm mense loss.

STOCK MARKET
 SHOWS REACTION Prices All Through Active List Touch New Low
 Records

New York August 1.-The re1ctionafN tendency in the stock market, which set in almost two days ago, was continued to- day, prices all through the active list touching new low records for the move inent. or coming within the smallest trac- tions of so doing Dealings were less ex- tensive than yesterday, but evidence of liquidation, together with renewed short selling, were again clearly apparent.
 When the decline first began the movc- ment was attributed to dissatisfaction of the 'big interests with the prevailing trend of the times. In this category were included the renewed activities of the government in it's attacks upon corpor- ations, the political situation at Washing ton and in England and the shrinking of a, stale bull account, which had apparent ly reared It's structure on a too flimsy foundation It was evident that many of the latter element had been forced through contracted credits to unload, while others in the same group were reported to have usffered heavy losses in the bull side n cotton. Added to the general uncertainty of the situation the government crop re- ports as of August 1, published this week, was distinctly disappointing in that the figures presented showed marked de- terioration compared with the previous month. Yet another factor was the nut terings heard this week of labor troubles of some of the largest railway systems.
 Probably the most important develop ment was the announcement that Henry c. Prick had retired from the directorate of the Hartman lines. This offered at least partial explanation of the selling of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. to- gether with the weakness shown by other standard stocks.
 Finally all available indications suggest that the long deferred revival in general business Is not in sight.
