CAMPAIGN CLOSES
WITH RUSH
MJSSOUliAN PREMIUM OFFER
ESTABLISHES A RECORD IN
CIRCULATION GAINS.

Last night closed the liveliest sub
Han has conducted in recent years,
with the single exception of the house,
and-lot contest of a few seasons ago.
When The Missoulian's circulation de-
partment purchased a carload of china,
! lin the fall it did not seem possible
that the demand would be so strong
that the large supply Of dishes would
be exhausted before spring. However,
the offer of the premium in connection
with a Missoulian subscription proved
popular beyond expectations. The call
for the premium was beyond any local
precedent, and the supply was ex-
hausted last night, just three weeks
and four days from the day the dishes
were delivered from the freight car to
The Missoulian warehouse.
This is a remarkable record. 1t is
indicative of the manner in which The
Missoulians subscription list is grow :
ing. 1t is of interest to readers and
advertisers alike In few days, pos
sibly tomorrow, The Missoulian will
have another interesting announce
ment to make to its readers. 1t will be
quite as remarkable as was the offer
of a full dinner set as a premium
This new offer will not be in the line
of premium, but will be something
just as attractive and quite as inter-

Mr.. and Mrs. D. ]. Donohue returned
last evening from a trip to southern
California, stopping in their travels at
cities in other states as we'll. They
made the trip south by way of Butte
and Salt Lake, spent some time visit
ing friends in Los Angeles, San Diego
and San Francisco, then came back by
way of Portland and Spokane. I'VE
had a very pleasat time and enjoyed
visiting with friends in every city we
stopped" said Mr. Donohue last even
ing. but as is usual with Missoula
people" he continued, I'VE are glad
to be home again. We were in Cali
fornha during their freeZe-up and it
certainly was tight freeze-not a
frost 1t is estimated that from rs
to 80 per cent of the citrus fruits are
lost through this frost. We spent
the coolest and most disagreeable
night in San Diego that we have ex-
perienced in a long time. The cold
snap has caused considerable depres-
sion in business there and Los An
geles has lost many of it's tourists.
when we reached Frisco there was
snow low on the mountains and the
people were out in the streets and on
the housetops taking in a new beauty
of their landscape. Altogether,
though, we had a very pleasant jour
ney."

SPEAKING FILL EVENING

The Epworth league gave it's third
annual banquet in the parors Of the

night. The rooms and tables We're
handsomely decorated and everything
looked very inviting. All arrangements
were under the supervision Of Miss
Anna Runmcl, fourth vice president
of the league and much credit is due
her for the sp,endid success Of the
banquet About 125 Jolly guests sit
ting at three long tables spent a most
pleasant evening. From the time uf
the announcement to gather around
the tables until the last word had been
spoken By the toastmaster, the room
was filled with laughter and jollity
and from the many expression heard
from the banqueters it was the best
social event of the season.

Of the rural communities. Great and
splendid and terrible as is the crisis OF
the Christian faith in modern cities, which
have become the spiritual frontier of
America, where battles are being lost and
won between paganism and the gospel,
infinite as are the reaches of vast aggre-
gated populations, yet the normal source
Of the national life Is in the rural dis
tricts, and if the battle Is there victorious
il will also be victorious in the cities.
Very familiar is the fact that American
statesmen and leaders generally have been
through the discipline of the country
home, the farm, the rural school. the rural
church.
That fact is significant enough. Immi-
grafton has been at so huge a tide, how
ever, in the northern states that the rural
district has been put in secondary
place as the source of city populations.
Such is not yet the case with these south
eru states. 1t would appear that the
negro is learning that the city is no place
for him, but also that the white popu-
lation of the rural districts is steadily
moving to the cities. Such movements
and changes, interesting as they are in
themselves, are not essential to the enor-
nous significance of the village COM

for during the month four different the
ologies or types of ecclesiastical principle
may be expounded from the same plat
form. In the larger communities the
possession of a church building, exelu-
sively their own, is the aim OF each
group. But whether in the smaller or in
the larger communities there Is prac-
tieally no centralizfng of interest through
the religious life. Church" stands more
for what divides than for which untes
neighbors. They are united occasionally
by the necessity of cooperation for the
school or for the mending of the roads.
They are gathered By emssaries of the
farmers unions, or by an agricultural
exhibit. They have been united by the
telephone companies, by the revitalizing
of agricultural science in boys corn clubs
and so forth; but all the while the re-
ligious separation continues to check the
movement toward a community conscience
and community action for the common
welfare. 1t is not too much to say that
religion Is proving a hndrance instead of
help to rural Alabama.
Not because 1t is religion, but In spite
of that fact, it divides the loyalty of

And he who knows anything of the

Being aware of this general knowledge
of words, one is often astonished at the

uses the same terms repeatedly in sue

rassed by the inattention of his listeners.
1t is variety of language, as well as di-

and sustains interest. 1t is the person
with a very limited vocabulary who feels

church or any one or more than one de-

every settlement has one or more

the rural church is probably the one su-

the rural community is the source of the
vital tide which now is flowing into the
new cities. Out of the agricultural dis
tricts the modern industrial centers are
acquiring their population. That these
people should be as intelligent, as noble,
as lofty in their ethical convictions, and
as ferceful in their social and religious
ideas as may be is therefore self-evident.
