FOR AID TO THE FARMER
ON RURAL CREDIT LINES
DR.. c. J. Owens Delivers Church Ad-
dress on Commercial Congress
Effort for Legislation.

DR.. Clarence J. Owens. managing di-
rector of the Southern Commercial Con-
sress. delivered an address last night be-
fore the mems organization of the Mount
Pleasant Congregational Church, in which
he called attention to the Importance of
extending aid to the farmer by legsa-
tion along rural credit lines such as
President Wilson proposed in his recent
message to Congress.
DR.. Owens declared that the Southern
Commercial Congress had initiated a
compaign for such legislation. He told
of the work of the American commits
sion sent abroad recently to study the
condition of farmers and their financial
problems. He said. in part:
The American Commission on Agri
cultural Cooperation represents one of
the three great forces within our de-
mocracy A second force is labor: the
third is capital. The experiment of de-
mocracy has been carried far enough to
establish these facts that for the de-
velopment of strength. sef-reliance and
resourcefulness within the individual
there is no other form of government
comparable to our own. But, secondly.
that democracy demands. not only high
standard OF citizenship, but a poise and
palance among the social fofces oil the
republic.
Aim of Commission.
1T is with the maintenance of this bal
ance that the commission is concerned
The balance to be maintained within our
republic is between the radical and the
conservative. I speak in favor of the sane
conservative, the American farmer.
THE movement in which this commits
sion is engaged seeks added strength for
our farmers. You will say that they are
strong. That is true. but there have
come changes in the organization of civil
ization today which our farmers have
not adopted 1t is the principle of coali-
ton. Among capitalists it is called com
bnation; among laborers unioniSm. For
the farmers we speak of it as co-opera-

work in the home attractive. In these
days every convenience is practically
within reach of the woman Of modern
means. Think of the happiness woman
of two generations ago would have de-
rived from some of the simplest and most
inexpensive contrivances that we find in
the humblest homes today!
yet, in spite of all this. women today
seem to love their homes less than they
ever did before. It looks like the great
majority of them go outside their homes
in search of happiness. I have often Won
dered why this condition should exist. but
I have never been able to reach Salts
factory conclusion about it. That it does
undeniably exist. I regard as calamitous.
Certain it is that the home is the
province of womans happiness as well as
usefulness. This may sound like a plati-
tude in this advanced day and time. But
/ wish there were more sermons preached
on this text.

homemaking is 4 big one. ! am the
mother of six children and the companion
of each of them. My daughters and
sew together by the hour. My sons are

wonder that 1. who have so much hap

should advocate these professions for
other women?''
This from a woman who has more than
president of political club in her state

ties of the day.

children are members of the Church of

dear to us. We observe the rules of our
church as faithfully and as consistently
as We possibly can. although there is no
