Two slices of bread to an order, two
doughnuts, cents. a slice of pie, 10
cents, in restaurants and lunchrooms,
while for housewives. 12-ounce bread
at or cents, and an equal advance
in the price of pastries. are some of
the pleasant possibilities held for the
spring by Washington bread and pastry
bakers.

is predicted from present soaring tend
encies, when, within the past week,
-four started upward at advances Of
20 cents a day to the barrel.
War Prices Prevail Now.
Spanish-American war prices already
prevail, wheat flour retailing at IS to
$3.50 a barrel Some merchants are
optimistic, saying that the price will
break shortly and start downward.
while others look for SO flour for
spring.
And there is no suitibale substitute for
bread. as there is for many other stable
and necessary commodities. During the
fall of 1914 when sugar prices were al
most prohibitive. many people, especially
during the fruit-Canning season. used
glucose and karo. Butter can be replaced,
If necessary, by oleO margarine. But
housewives say there is no substitute for
wheat bread, unless corn or rye flour is
used and large quantities of potatoes and
other starchy foods are eaten.
Bakers in Washington are holding al
most daily conferences with their office
forces to discuss the question. Some have
decreased their loaf to IA ounces, from
the usual pound. All agree that the price
will be raised to six cents. with possibly
a greater reduction in weight, If present
supplies are not replentished at a lower
cost.

other cities are selling "A ounce bread for

SAME OLD STORY

According to New York State APP
pie growers, they are victims of a
buyers trust and are compelled to
sell their fruit in some instances for
less than the cost of production of
packing. Growers must accept the
prices or no SALE At first the buy
ers claimed there was no demand
for apples. Now they say they can
not fill their orders for first class
fruit. Some time this winter when
New York standard A. No. 1 apples
are selling at 81 and So a barrel,
the papers will be printing stories
of the big profits the growers are
making. And yet the finest apples
grown in the state, the best packed
fruit in Niagara county, have been
sold for $3.50 a Darrell, much less
than the actual cost.

THE CHURCH As

A Broader Sphere for ReIiaion-NeW
Field for the Rural Church.
by Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The social duty of the rural church
is as much part of its obligations
as it's spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in

social instincts should be starved

We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation 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
Of 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 t.
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
avenue Of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for its

What Is a Fair Rate7

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard Of anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but if the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
or farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur-
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.

me as quickly and greatly as Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was just about sick
enough to go to bed. My back hurt
me terribly and I had shooting pains
in my loins and hips, sometimes ex-
tending into my arms and other
parts of my body I felt tired and
weak and was more tired when l
got up in the morning than when
I went to bed. Headaches caused aw-
full distress and l had such terrible
dizzy spells that I felt just as if l
was going to faint. My kidneys were
weak and inflamed. l had suffered
from kidney complaint for six years
and though | had dOctOred and tried
different remedies, the relief l got
was only temporary. A friend wanted
me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and
l did. One box made my back much
better, my kidneys begun to act nor

ton left. I had much better appe-
tite and my whole system was toned

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion Of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among it's membership, it will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting
higher and better type of manhood

a hard cold is "a threatened case

abort the attack" The truth is that
when pneumonia, typhoid and other
diseases of this class are once be-

The man who is credited with cur

greater physician by ignorant, cred

a diarrhea "diarrhea." If there

should be honest and above board, it
is that of the sick room. Here is

RATE|: INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of PIow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applica-
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm.
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff.
fectively meet the demands of com.
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom Of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern.
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as justly belongs to him.
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in.
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side Of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products Of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products Of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
