whether the present valuation of rail-
roads by the interstate commerce
commission Is for the purpose Of rate
making or the ultimate purchase of
the railroads by the federal govern
ment took rather o. sensational turn
today in the convention of the, Ma

Max Thelen, president of the Cali
fornia railroad commission intro
duced a resolution proposing that the
National Association of Railway Com
missioners urge the interstate COM
merce commission TO refrain from
making any ultimate finding OF value
of railroads until congress has had
an opportunity to designate for what
purpose the valuation is to be used.
It has been supposed that the gov
ernment's valuation has been purely
for purposes of rate-making, and It
was not until the present convention
met that 1t became known the valua-
tion might be for subsequent pur-
chase The railroads, in submitting
their valuations, are placing them at
the present cost OF construction,

outcome is as it is too early to con

corn will come on with only the loss
of what it is cut back and the weak

Potatoes that are out of the ground
were killed by frost but they too will
come on again with only slight dam
age as the result of the killing back
by frost.
1t is an old saying in the corn belt
that it is better to have two frosts in
the spring than one in the fall and
with our shorter season in North Da-
kota the adage is more applicable than
it is in the corn belt.

THE CHURCH As
AS0C|A[C CENTER
A Broader Sphere for RelIoton-New
FieId for the Rural Church.
6y Peter RadSord

Lecturer National Farmers' Union
The social duty Of the rural church
Is as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to q broader %interpreta-
ton of the functions Of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world a fit h%abitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
nf faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal.
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals Of
service. the rural church which It
iains the fullest measure Of ucces
is that which enriches as many lives
IFS it can touch, and in no way can
The church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
emu Of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
i,unity, If an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of q
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; it contains many social groups,
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter
est Of all the people. it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.
