WATERED SECURITIES
BY peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life Of any
business organization should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming is the biggest
business ON earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value OF securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water Is in the interest
rate in one instance and In the secur-
titles in the other
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development OF the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that OF agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200.000.00O per annum In
usury on real estate and chattel
| loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent. represents 81. $1,000.
600 OF fictitious values which the farm
er Is paying interest on. This sum OF
money is almost equal to the annual
value OF crops produced In the United
States.
The earning power of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land The largest body OF wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farm
and its waves are dashing and IL
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation
Will cur public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid of in
dustrial properties turn the faucet an,
let the water of the farms?

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time There is
scarcely campaign speech made,
platform demand written or mea
sure enacted INTO law that does not
carry the faint CT personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof
There ID more blue sky In cam
paign promises OF many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses Of the bold
est promoters OF chimerical business
schemes There are more secret com
binations formed by politicians in the
name of My Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden In the phrase BE 1t en-
acted than were ever concealed un-
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and It ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry. or cripple a business for party
success. through tariff measures, po'
litical supervision and ofttimes de.
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story OF the rainbow with It's
pot OF gold and their contamination
about as far.fetched Self-gain is the
first law in politics There are many
men in office today who. II they
could not shake plums OF the tree o.
American liberty or cut melon takeT
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
. The country is surfeiting with patri

permit personal prejudice to dethron

The preservation OF our prosperit

school Of Religion Needed.

or course. the Sunday School is the
center for all this work. although the
activities OF the church should extend
through the entire week and the sun
day School should cease to be SO
named. 1t should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates 1t to be
an all-the.week activity. During THIS
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as we'll as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer line
opportunities for the development OF
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that Of Christianizing
the social order; that OF infusing the
spirit OF Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing Is foreign
to the interest OF the church.

Woman is Ruler over All.

Why does woman chafe under re-
straint Of sex? Why revile the hand
Of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beg inning OF time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears OF sorrow from the face of
childhood? In Its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
In shame clinging to its motherly
folds. tottering children have learned
to pay hide and seek and from Il
youth learned 10 reverence and re-
spect womanhood Can man think OF
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears OF regret over his depar
ture. he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money
| What more does she want?
Can man find 1t in his heart to lool
with pride upon the statement that hi
honorable motherin-law was one o
the most powerful political bosses IL
the country. that his distinguished
grandmother was one OF the ables
filibusters in the cenate or that hi
mother was a noted warrior and he

Why is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the

achievement for woman that future

NsluhbOrly Love Essential.

II religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious busi-
ness, for II will let no corner OF the
world escape its influence The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not
thing to be practiced In corner the
better for the world. The question OF
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can II be made to square
with the human reason2 or the nine
teenth. Can II be made TO square with
the results OF scientific research or
the twentieth, What can II do we
must learn to enforce not only love OF
God, whom we cannot see, but love 10
our neighbors. with whom we are living
In constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
1t may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him. II he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
II is the mission Of the church--the
rural as well as the city-to evange'
lize the whole world. TO train to the
highest degree OF efficiency those
whom It evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit OF Jesus the absolute
rule In all human relations.

MISSION Of THE

Duty Of Christianity to EvanseIIze the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor ST. John M L. Church, South.
St Louis. Mo.

Some years ago, the question was
asked What is a college? The at
tempt to answer 1t shook the educa-
tional world IN America from center
to circumference Another question is
now beginning to be asked What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition OF II, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which 1t is
committed.
First, that OF evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God offer him
a divine power, which lifts him out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege.

Teaching the Art of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its eyangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean specific thing in our
country. namely. the training OF the
people In the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art OF living | am not now speaking
OF the work OF education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors. In the con
gregation. Every agency In reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a sort OF
university for all the people, in which
the simple. practical arts and virtues
OF everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re-
ceived anything like adequate atten'
ton. The New Testament word ior
1t is Edihcation.

MORE INTEREST IS NEEDED IN

WORK.

Covington, La, March IS, 1915.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer, Cow
ington, La.
Dear Sir:-I believe this to be the
time of the year when we should take
special pains to urge upon the pat
rons and pupils as well as the teach
ers the matter of helping to organize
Club Work in the schools Of the par
ish. We are all aware that accord
ing to agreement when the parish
secured the services of Demonstra-
ton Agent he was to give one-half Of
his time to this work. I ar though
that the farmers are more insistent
upon getting their half than the
schools, and IL this is true it is up
to the school children to enlist in
the work enough energy and spend
enough time so that we may be GER
tain the School Club work receives
its share of attention.
The above is not given as a criti-
cism of the Demonstration Agent
who am certain is willing to help
any one he can, but feel that unless
we school people take more than the
usual interest in the work and call
upon Mr.. Lewis often, as the adults
are doing, his time will have more
demands upon it for the farmers than
for the club members.
Very truly.
