COUNTRY FAIRS
PROMOTE PROGRESS
President W. W. Finley Of Southern
Railroad Speaks on Their
Advantages.

The country fair can be made a most
important factor in the progress and de-
veIopment OF the locality in which 1t is
held" Is the opinion of w. w. Finley.
President OF the Southern Railway Com
pany.
AT the country fair the visitor sees
what his own neighbors are doing where
the conditions OF climate and soils are
similar to those on his own farm. He
can learn from his competitors the Sc
crets of their success. A country fair
thus becomes a most educational insti-
tuition. This is especially true where
lectures are delivered by experts on diff
raising. and dairying.
Amusement features aid in increas-
ing the attendance Of country fairs.
ordinated and the primary aim Of the
fairs be to aid the farmer in solving
his practical problems.
The great problem confronting the
farmers is that of increasing their
average yield to the acre. This in
wolves a study of the question of the
rotation of crops and the application
of the right kinds of fertilizers to the
soil.
I'VE have Just reached a time" con-
cluded Mr.. Finley, when the question
of increasing yields per acre is becom-
ing acute. / believe that the country
fair Is the best means for the dissem-
nation of a knowledge of scientific
principles among the farmers, and the
right way to encourage them to the
practice of these principles Is country
fair prize displays"

SOCIALISM UNDER
CHURCHES DIRECTION

At the recent Conference for Church
Work held at the Episcopal Theological
School. Cambridge, Miss Vida Scudder. Of
Wellesley College. gave a lecture on the
Church and Socialism. Miss Scudder
came down from the White Mountains
to address the conference because. as
she said. II was an opportune time to
present to church people the principles
and aims of Socialism. Her mission was
not of propaganda hut to sweep the
minds OF Christian people of the idea that
Socialism is n wild. irreligious, ,over-ideal-
lied, and over r-materialistic fancy. Miss
Scudder presented her well-known doc
trines of the coming Socialism with the
co-operat tive state. II was the attitude
that the church should take toward So
cialism that interested the attendants Of
the conference. Miss Scudder was frank
in her criticism OF The present church for
its stand against Socialism. This posi-
tion was taken at the end OF the eight
eenth century when the church threw
its lot with the privileged class and as
continued with the capitalist class. The
church is out to save the souls of men
and cares little for the physical welfare
or mental state. Take care Of the bod
les" says Miss Scudder, and God will
care for the souls
Miss Scudder admitted that the Social
ism that waves red flag is to be dread
ed. She herself feared that IL might be-
come a great menace. IF it does the
church and Christian people are to
blame Socialism must be Christian nized
by the church" she said. Properly tenn
pered by the religion of Jesus Christ So
cialism is going to do more to bring the
kingdom of God on earth than any 9TH
er force ever known. The church has
been praying for 1890 years, Thy king
dom come on earth as it is in heaven
expecting 1t to be suddenly revealed to
them. Socialists are trying to bring the
kingdom about by going at the social
and economic roots of trouble and first
destroying them"
IL the Christian church takes hold of
Socialism II will be a potent force, thinks
Miss Scudder. and one can then feel opti-
mistic for the future. Miss Scudder looks
TO the Anglican church to take the lead
ership in the movement, for il has points
in common with Socialism. The Episco-
pal mode of government is socialistic,
she declared. The church has adopted
social service. which Is step toward
social justice, the ann of the Socialist

DISCONTENT IN FRANCE
GROWS WITH SOCIALISM.
BOURGEOIS Is IMPATIENT

Paris, Aug. s-The general uneasiness
which the prevalence of Socialism, the
increase in the price of living. and the
general political discomfort in France
has brought with them ENCOURAGED the
Bonapartists, who have been quiescent
recently. to hold a monster meeting at
the Sale Wagram the other evening.
The Marquis de Dion was the PRINCIPAL
speaker. Five thousand people listened
to him and applauded to the echo his
plea for consular republic" The i'm
piication, of course. was that Prince
Napoleon would be the consul.
Although there is little likelihood of a
monarchy, an empire. or even a consular
republic in France in the immediate fu-
ture, there is no doubt whatever that
the French people are ripe for another
revolution. Nobody is quite satisfied
with the present form of government.
Everybody feels, no matter what class
he belongs to. that he is overtaxed and
over red taped. There is a general feel
ing that the real rulers OF the country
twho are not merely the government
but all the members of the two cham
bers. and far too many of their friends)
are much too expensive a luxury.
II Gen. Boulanger were alive there
might easily be coup d'etat tomorrow
BY turning out the conversations the
"ohHaI Fuiers Oh france have set the
many headed in power and they are
harder masters than either the priests
or even the mobiles ever were. The
bourgeois is long-suffe-ing ,animal, but
he Is beginning to kick against the
prfcks. The Socialist element has so
swelled head that its demands are
rapidly becoming more than the bour-
geois will stand, and in France, when
unrest has become. as general as il Is
now becoming. a flare-up is inevitable.
wen-known politician said to me the
other day that war of one kind or an
other must break out in France within
the next five years. His meaning was
that if war with another nation did not
come to turn peoples thoughts away
from their home trorlles. a civil war.
