KEEPING THE PLEDGES.

The Ohio State Journal of May 18th
published the following:
plans of the Republican leaders to
bring about cessation of the SESSION S
work tomorrow night were practical
~ abandoned when the budget bill
was not brought to a vote in the
House last night. The measure, car-
Tying $33,000,000 is the longest ap-
preparation bill ever presented, be-
cause every item is SPECIFICALLY
SET FORTH. To read it fully and
distinctly requires five hours"
Here is a frank admission in a
newspaper that in the last campaign
was openly hostile to the candidacy
of Governor Willis, that one of the
principal pledges made over and
over by Mr.. Willis in his campaign
utterance has been kept, and kept
to the letter.
1t was a well-known fact that the
last legislature, at the d~ictation of
Governor Cox, made appropriations
in lump sums, and in nearly every in
stance the expenditure was dominat-
ed with the consent" or approval
of the governor. Even in the COVER
nor's executive office. appropriations
were in such fashion that the COVER
nor was permitted to raise salaries
of his executive force at will. This
Governor Willis has had changed, so
that the appropriation bill specifies
the salary to be paid in each case,
not only in the governors office, but
in all other departments.
Not only have the appropriations
been SDpcifp h1t in ccorpc of inctaOc-
es salaries have been reduced as well
as eliminated entirely. Thousands of
dollars have been saved, as promised,
and by specific appropriations in
creased salaries are made impossible.

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
~panionship, civilization has lowered
to it's greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
gilderness without God. Likewise
nan should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

TENTH OF EVERY CROP
DESTROYED BY INSECTS

"Ten per cent. of every crop rails
ed in the United States is destroyed
bv insects" said Prof. c. L. Metcalf
of the department Of entomology at
the Ohio State University in an ad-
dress lest Wednesday night before
the University Agricultural Society
on "What the Entomologist Is Doing
Of the Farmer"
Professor Metcalf outlined the
work of the entomologists in the
United States, showing how the
state and national department of en-
tomology co~-operated in destroying
insect pests by enforcing rigid in
roection of all material shipped from
foreign countries. "Insects cause a
loss for every farmer in the United
States each year, hence this is a great
economic problem" he said.
The digging of the Panama Canal
was more of an chronological than
an engineering problem, for hundreds
of lives were lost through the ravag-
es of yellow fever before the mosqui-
to was destroyed, Professor Metcalf
declared.

prepared for the feast. Multiply these
quantities by n thousand, repre-
senting approximately the number of
meals per annum, and We have the
annual contents of the nations larder.

Some Forms of Rheumatism Durable

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatica Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All of these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application of Sloan's
Liniment two or three time a day to
the affected part will give instant re-
lief. Sloan's Liniment is good for
pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain,
because it penetrates to the seat of
the trouble, soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. "Sloan's Lini-

Twist the Wire.

Pictures hung by a single wire have
an annoying way of getting uneven, on
account of the slipping of the wire on
the picture hook. This can sometimes
be avoided by first hanging the picture
face to the wall and then turning it
around. The single turf this makes in
the wire near the hook prevents slip
ping.

God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked

Inder the frost of many winters and

auence in the dress of woman than in

IN agency for morality, I wouldn't

constitutions and bylaws in the world.
AS a power for purifying society. ]
wouldn't give one prayer of my sanity

government, wouldn't give the plea
Of a mothers heart for righteousness
for all the oaths Of Office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
Of woman than in ar act Of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab
met of the president of the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress. f.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to a statute book, already grooming
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we eve had a
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or
deal, but without home, civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help US keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become STEP
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.

MISSION Of THE
RURAL CHURCH
SHOULD BE UNIVERSITY OF RE.
LIGiOUS LEARNING.
Duty of Christianity to Evangelize the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor St. John NJ. e. Church. South,
st. Louis. Mo.

Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is a college? The at.
tempt to answer it 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 it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The E5w Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it 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.

there can be no permanent prosperity
without a permanent agriculture.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1915-05-21
NeighborIy Love Essential.

If religion %pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious bust
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape it's influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? Of
the twentieth, What a it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love OF
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, if he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
1t is the mission of the church-the
rural as we'll as the city-to evange-
lie the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it e~vangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.

Teaching the Art of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with it's evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a 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. l am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
q colleges and universities, but the work
of education at u 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 for
it is Publication.
