CHURCH ADVERTISING

New York, July 10. Should the

That Is net at all an irreverent
question. 1t is a problem that is
today receiving the serious considera.
tion of every minister Of the gospel in
New York and many laymen.
Opinion is divided upon the subject,
naturally. but that the majority seems
to take an affirmative view of the
question is evidenced by the numerous
and varied church ad yertisements that
assail the eye and ear in Gotham. A
very dignifisd church IN upper Broad
way new displays a large electric sign
bearing this legend:
Full choral evening, 8 p. IN. Sun
days"
The sign is not widely different from
those seen in front of theaters further
down the street. Perhaps an illumin-
ated sign is a rather radical step but
painted designs with huge letters are

scores of New York churches, in

In the Saturday newspapers many of
the pastors now insert regulation
"cards'' in the paid advertisement
columns, calling attention to Sundays
services and laying stress on the
musical features Some of them add
the words, Seats free" This line
no doubt strikes the rural visitor as
rather unchurchlike, but it is nothing
out of the way when n understands
the situation.
Many of the metropolitan churches
charge II stipulated pew rent, and
the seats of the congregation are thus
paid for much as are theater seats,
though there is no box office in front.

COOPERATIVE PLAN
Mellette County Homesteaders
Organize to Provide Cows
On Installment

White River, July l2,-Progressive
homesteaders of this portion of the
new county of Mellette. which until
about a year or two ago was en-
braced in the Rosebud Indian reserva
ton, with the aid of the White
River commercial club. have taken
preliminary steps to organize a CO.
operative association with the object
of securing and selling cows to home
steaders on the installment plan, in
order to enable them to lemain in the
country after they have made final
proofs on their homesteads. One of the
greatest obstacles TO the rapid de.
velopment of a new country is the
practice of many homesteaders in leav-
ing their land as son as they have
made 6nal proof and taking up their
residence elsewhere.
1t will be the object of the proposed
cooperative association to furnish cows
to such homesteaders as cannot pay
for them in one payment and permit
them to make payment in installments.
When a homesteader secures one or
more COWS he can dispose of the
cream and thus have a steady income
which will tide himself and family
over the rough places met with in
bringing under IA high state of cultiva-
tion new land. One homesteader, who
is making N success of the dairy in
dustry. thus Describes his operations,
which it is intended shall be an ex-
ample for all the homesteaders of Mel
lette county.

am milking ten cows, The cream from
these bring me abuut $40 a month. /

just purchased a number moro heifers.
The cream sells for 23 and "a cents.

expenses. | will sure stick"
IL the plans of the proposed coopera
tive association are successful, as it
is fully expected they will be, there
is no reason why every homesteader
now living in the coded portion of
Mellette county cannot stick and
ultimately reap the benefits of the
development of what within a few
years at the most will be one of the
richest agricultural and dairy counties
in South Dakota. 1t is expected o
meeting soon will be held for the pur-
pose Of perfecting the organization of
the cooperative association.

pare a comprehensive address on the
chosen subject. After this set dis
course the meeting is then thrown
open for general discussion and often
there are lively debates. Besides the
tariff and currency this particular
congregation has discussed woman
suffrage, social reform, the minimum
wage scale for women and kindred
topics, and now the Sunday night at
tendance far exceeds that at the
morning service.

New IDEAS IN ScnOOl nyRlne anu
ventilation were advanced by DR..
Woods Hutchinson, of New York City,
at the annual state educational conven-
ton, held last week in Grand Forks.
DR.. Hutchinson, who is famous for his
books and articles on this subject,
startled his hearers when he declared
that fresh air cannot be piped into a
school room; that what the pupil should
have is the air straight from out of
doors. He declared that careful in
vestigation has shown that when air is
taken from outdoors, warmed, strained,
washed or otherwise treated and piped
into a building, something has happened
which makes it no longer fresh. Air"
said the speaker, ''should be eaten alive,
and if it is dead is fit only for dead
Ones" DR.. Hutchinson further said
that ar equable temperature such as
most teachers favor, is just what is not
wanted. For one thing it encourages
the children in sitting still, and neither

long. If the temperature in the room
is too low for comfort sitting still move
around. AS to drafts, DR.. Hutchinson
declared that they never harmed any
person who was in sound physical con-
dition, and who had been breathing
fresh air. The draft is only dangerous
when a person has been breathing close,
foul air, and the drafts stir up germs
of disease. -Times-Record

New Years is regarded as the time

past and present and make resolutions
concerning the future. It is well to
make resolutions, and it is better to
keep them. They serve a good pur-
pose even if not kept, though they
should not be made with the idea of
breaking them. One can be conserva-
tive in making good resolutions and
thereby gain an advantage. Do not
resolve to be perfect-merely make a
determination to be better. Resolve
to improve in everything in which you
are defective. Decide; to act more
