and to develop On enlargement OF
the service rendered by the church
20 the country population,
The modern farmer does not live
in his own home alone, or on his own
land. The important unit OF life
today is the community. 1t is nee
essary that there Ne nel* kind IL
ia school and a new kind OF a church
in the country community. The
study OF this problem Of community
building Is the central feature Of
this institute. The prosperity of the
gives him promise OF much
larger life than has been possible in
the past For this larger prosperity
the farmer. Is planning the BEST in
stitutions and those suited to his
needs.
More and more students Of coun-
try life are coming to recognize that
the first value Of the church Is as "a
social institution. 1t is the most
widely extended type OF organization
Of farmers, and the farmer is the
largest factor in the membership Of
Protestant churches. Where the
farm is best managed, the churches
are strong. Where farming is a
failure, the churches are abandoned
The one corresponds to the other.
This is the reason why the Country
Life Institute has business with the
work of the farmer
Some of the topics for discussion
will he "The Cooperation of Church,
Grange, and other Community. In
.stitutions," "The Church for the
Working Farmer" and Satisfying
the Social Need of Country People,
These subjects will DE presented by
men who are speaking from large
experience and successful work in

rejected as fmpracticable. Including

bucket SHOP MEN
Win Their Case in Supreme
Court of the District of

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 8o-
The amendment to the so-calleo
bucket shop law which defines
"5ucketing' was today declared un-
constitutional by Justice Wright, Of
the District Of Columbia supreme
court, in that it deprived citizen
of the liberty to contract. The de-
murrer of Edward tAltemus and
Louis Age!ocella. indicted last
April, was sustained. The govern
ment will appeal the case.
If Wright's decision is upheld, the

SUNDAY SUN"
A Mexico Girl Chasing the Editor
in New York.

New York, July 3.-llenry l.,
Preston, proprietor of the pink
sheet, was served in an action
this week by Attorneys Wollman
& Wollman, acting for Miss Laura
Riley, of Mexico, Mo. The suit is
based on a judgment for $40, 600
recovered against Preston for IL
bel some years ago while he was
running the VIGOROUSLY indecent
Sunday Sun in Kansas City.
Preston published defamatory
articles about Miss Riley without
even going to the trouble Of first
investigating the report which
came from young men of ques-
tionable associates who apparent
ly had disliked Miss Riley. She
Immediately brought criminal
suit against Preston and he was
convicted and fined on this
charge. He appealed the criminal
ease but later begged to be per-
mitted to pay the fine first assess
ed, which was granted, and thus
he succeeded no doubt in escaping
a heavier fine and possible impris-
Onment.
Miss Riley also brought civil
proceedings later to recover dam
ages and was given Judgment
which with the interest now
amounts to about $4,000.
Preston left Missouri in 1898,
hence the statute of limitations
from the time he left the state
does not apply and Wollman &
WOllman say they are in a posi-
ton to recover in full provided
Preston has that much property.
The case will come mp in the Su-
preme Court of New York county
during the fall term.
