Railroads and Parcels Post.

Former President w. III. Taft, under
whose administration the parcels posi-
service was inaugurated, has written 9
letter to DR.. Frank E. Noyes, Of the
Parcels Post News" Mariette, Wis,
in which he says, among other things:
There is one thing connected with
the parcels post which ought not to
meet the approval Of anybody, and that
lis that we have not given to the rail-
roads appropriate compensation for the
additional burden that they have to
carry by reason of the parcels post,
but after time Congress will see its
duty and make reparation in this re.
gard / hope"
The railroads OF the country have
maintained all along that they we're
not betng adequately paid for the addi-
tional service required in handling this
ever-increasing volume Of mail matter,
and some Of the roads have even filed
claims against the government for COM
pensation for such service for the first
six months after the parcels post service
was inaugurated for which they received
nothing. A committee Of Congress re-
Gently reported that the railroads were
underpaid several millions Of dollars by
reason Of such additional burden and
the recommendation Of the committee
was that the railroads receive adequate
compensation for such mail carrying
and additional service imposed by reason

More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture.
Farm products have no credit and
perhaps can never have on perma-
nent and satisfactory basis unless we
build warehouses. cold storage plants,
elevators, ETC., for without storage and
credit facilities. the south is COM
PEELED to dump its crop on the market
at harvest time. The Farmers Unions
in the cotton producing states have
for the past ten years persistently adj
vocated the construction OF storage
facilities. We have built during this
period 1000 warehouses with a ca
pacity of approximately 100000 bales
and looking backward the results
would seem encouraging, but looking
forward, we are able to house less
than one-third of the crop and ware
houses without credit system lose
so per cent OF their usefulness. The
problem is gigantic one-too great
for the farmer to solve unaided. He
must have the assistance of the bank
er, the merchant and the government.
In production we have reached the
high water mark of perfection in the
worlds history, but our marketing
methods are most primitive. In the
dawn of history we find agriculture
blowing with a forked stick but with
system Of warehouses under govern

Egyptians the marvel of civilization,

The RURAL
CHURCH
THE FARMERS THE cUsToDIANs
or THE NATIONS MORALITY.
Cooperation Of Church, School and
Press Essential to Community
Building.
Rx Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The church, the press and the school
form triple alliance of progress that
guides the destiny of every commun-
ity, state and nation. Without them
civilization would wither and die and
through them life may attain its great
est blessing, power aud knowledge.
The farmers OF this nation are greatly
indebted to this social triumvirate for
their uplifting influence, and on behalf
of the American plowmen | want to
thank those engaged in these high
callings for their able and efficient
service, and shall offer to the press
series of articles on cooperation
between these importan. influences
and the farmers in the hope Of in
creasing the efficiency Of all by mu-
tual understanding and organized eff
fort. We will take up, first, the rural
church.
The Farmers Are Great Church Build
ers.
The American farmer is the greatest
church builder the world has ever
known. He is the custodian of the
nations morality; upon his shoulders
rests the lark Of the covenant" and
he is more responsive to religious in
fiuences than any other class of cit
izenship.
The farmers OF this nation have
built 10000 churches at cost of
S750,000.000, and the annual contribu-
tion OF the nation toward all church
institutions approximates 100000, 900
per annum. The farmers of the Uni
ted States build % churches per day.
There are 100000 rural church com
municants on the farm, and "a per
cent Of the total membership OF all
churches reside In the country.
The farm is the power-house Of all
progress ard the birthplace OF all that
is noble. The Garden of Eden was
in the country and the man who would
get close to God must first get close
to nature.

op thought and increase the efficiency
of human life. 1t must serve the so
ciai, business and intellectual, as well
as the spiritual and moral side of life
II religion does not make man more
capable, more useful and more just
what good is 1t? We want a practical
religion, one we can live by and farm
by, as well as die by.
Fewer and Better Churches. .
Blessed is that rural community
which has but one place Of worship.
While competition is the life of trade.
it is death to the rural church and
moral starvation to the community.
Petty sectarianism is scourge that
blights the life, and the church preju-
dice saps the vitality, of many COM
munities. An over-churched commun-
ity Is a crime against religion, seri-
GUS handicap to society and useless
tax upon agriculture.
While denominations are essential
and church pride commendable, the
high teaching of universal Christianity
must prevail If the rural church is to
fulfill its mission to agriculture.
We frequently have three or four
churches in community which Is not
able to adequately support one Small
congregations attend services once a
month and all fail to perform the re-
Iigious functions Of the community.
The division of religious forces and
the breaking into fragments of moral
efforts is ofttimes little less than a
calamity and defeats the very purpose
they seek to promote.
The evils of too many churches can
be minimized by cooperation The
social and economic life of rural
community are respective units and
cannot be successfully divided by de-
nominational lines, and the churches
can only occupy this important field
by cooperation and COORDINATION.
The efficient country churcys will
definitely serve its community BY lead
ing In all worthy efforts at community
building, in uniting the people in all
cooperative endeavors for the gen
eral welfare OF the community and in
arousing real love for country life
and loyalty to the country home and
these results can only be successfully
accomplished by the united effort OF
the press, the school the church and
organized farmers

New Demand on Society.

"The strong demand of the new
social citizenship" District Attorney
Whitman declared, "is that the rich
and powerful shall do their part, a
part measured by their power, to-
ward the betterment Of social con-
ditiOns, and the conditions of liv-
ing in our country toward its secur-
ity and defense and the maintenance
of its government; that they shall
assist and not obstruct the govern
ment in its effort to promote the
order and morals of society; to elm
mate privilege, to protect labor as
we'll as capital, and to strengthen
the race by proper provisions for
its health. The first essential to the
making of the social citizen is the
quickening of the individual sense
of responsibility for the general well
fare
"The great problem of statesman
ship in this country in the next de-
cade will be to make sane and
effective response to that demand
to so direct the forces of social
that they may not de-
stroy the strong, progressive power
of individual initiative with the pa

Nine times out of ten, when You

out of order and getting it in order
again will make you feel better.
When your liver is sluggish and
torpid and you are constipated and
bilious, it is impossible to feel well,
There was a time when a great
number of people took calomel when
so troubled. But this is not true
today. 1t has become widely known
that calomel often has bad after
effects and is even dangerous to
many. The use of Dodson's Liver
Tone instead of calomel has spread
wonderfully because it has proved
so beneficial in so many households.
