TIE COST De BENT

The editor noticed this week in
an exchange a pathetic plea, evil
IDENTIFY signed by some man who was
out of work, for some form Of en-
pIoyment. The writer thereof said
the cost Of rent had SO increased as
to prevent working people from &C
cumuIating any savings for use in
such need as has resulted this win
Ter from the European war.
IN many places the landlord must
Tow pay twice as much as formerly
to get house painted. Plumbing,
paperng and mason work aer similar
" costly. It is only expected that
the mechanic should now be asked
to pay largely increased rent bill.
Social economists must give a
great deal of thought to the question
Of how a comfortable home can be
provided working people at a mod
crate cost. A man working on SIS a
week ought not to pay more than
$1z a month for rent. Yet the let
tel referred to stated that the writ
er thereof earned but $12 a week
IN good times, yet had to pay SIS a
month for his rent.
In many places cheap wood three
decker" tenements are the favor
ite means of housing work people in
extensively. These are often Of the
most flimsy construction, and may
constitute fire risk and also in
jure the appearance of a~city. Some
social reformers saw the solution is
to be found in blocks of connected
houses. Possibly this is the case,
though it reduces light, air, com
fort to an extent that seems need
less except in the larger places
if people would acquire the habit
of living farther in the outskirts of
a town, and depend more on walk
ms and social pleasures, they should
be able to balance the higher cost
Of building by the lower cost OF land.
Tie habit Of living in the out
skirts makes room for gardening and
gives the children healthful life.
70 many Of US, such a home would
LOok far better than a tiny flat or
err wded block.

WHAT Do YOU
MEAN To The
MOVEMENT

Written. especially for the Reporter
by an Eastern divine.
Is the natural tendency 10 drift
away from the church?
Il is easier to go down stream
than go up stream, and it requires a
pun to right-about face in the
right direction.
Drifting down stream may be a
tendency; but pulling up stream IS
a necessity.
Our present work is merely a be-
ginning: man is immortal! Real
Life" may be a temporal thing if
you mean the life Of physical sense.
The need is for establishing a
wing condition which will make a
grinder and better prospect, which
vii reflect the Divine Mind, a fore
aste of Heaven.
The world is full of those who are
striving to do something to make
living conditions better, TO establish
netting better here, so that
here may be a preparation fo- the
hfngs that are to come.
The world requires upIffe as well
IS upkeep; every city shares in the
needs Of the world; every family
shares in the city need.
Are We helping in the work that
needs to be done?
Are we living the life in the way
shown, a life Of service?
This is big movement this
aurcb-Eard tendency - and each
should be keen to the privileges OF
helping IN the effort.
There are church homes for every
one; there is work for anyone; the
service is entirely Of voluntary ef-
tort; it IS desired to enlist every
one in this great campaign for JOY,
peace, purity, hope!
Every Sunday should be new
rung in the ladder Ct upward climb
ing; and every eminence Of higher
ground should give a broader and

Do your city papers say anything
n regard to your locality? Do they
contain notices CT your schools,
lodges, churches and hundreds Of
local matters Of interest which your
home paper publishes? Not an item.
Do they say a word calculated to
draw attention to your town and aid
your enterprise? Not a line. And
yet there are men who take contract
ed views in this matter, who think
that unless they are getting as many
square inches Of reading matter IN
their home paper, they are not get
ting the worth Of their money. Take
the city paper If you want to, but
don't show such a lack Of wisdom as
TO crowd out the local paper from
your home.

GLIMPSE OF MEN

Once ia a while someone with
HnoHiaoge Of the situation and n
insight into the other fellows joD.
gets a proper glimpse Of The news
paper men Ebert H. Gary, chair
The board of directors Of the
United States Steel corporation, is
a bis man who realizes the value Of
proper relationship between men of
his position and newspaper repre-
sentauves. At a banquet recently
given in his honor by the Ginning
ham, Alabama, Newspaper Club. Mr.
Gary says:
q have been obliged to come in
contact with the newspaper fraterni-
ty for the last fifteen years and
from my experience can say that if
business men treat newspaper men
right, they are always truthful and
faithful. MY experience has been
that if you will treat the newspaper
man ,fairly-wiIl be. frank and honest
and give him the truth and the op-
portunity to publish the truth-he
viii do it honestly. If you are IN
truthful and unfair you may expect
to take the consequences"
The general public should give
some consideration to this statement.
It gives the newspaper man his due.
No other fellow is required to know
So much and get little credit for
lis knowledge. No other man can
do so much harm or so much good.
Accurate, fairminded intelligence
always are demanded of the newspa-
per worker. His Iabors are construc-
tive. The popular demand is that
they be so.
No community can attain the great
est success unless it has and sup
ports goods newspapers. Its news
paper lis it's criterion of progress or
sluggishness. The Importance of the
newspaper too often is overlooked, as
in the Importance Of the newspaper
man. Both deserve fair-minded, OPP
en-, treatment, the very things which
are demanded of them and which
they give.

SWEAR TO AGE

It will be the clever parent who
can take her child or children on a
journey hereafter without paying the
proper fare. Ever since the days
when railroads first began TO turn
their wheels it has been customary
for parents 10 get by with heir
children with loss in revenue to the
corporations and consequent saving
to the family purse. Condu ctors
in many instances have refrained
from demanding half fare when the
children were 6 to z years Of age
or full fare when they were be
tween 10 and Is Rather than start
an unpleasant argument with the
father or mother, or both, most con
ductors have accepted the word Of
the adults concerning the age OF
their progeny and let it go at that.
As a result the roads have lost con
siderable revenue in years gone by.
Now this is all to be changed.
The Interstate commerce commission
has stepped in and asserts that it
is unlawful for the roads to carry
children over ; years of age, except
upon payment of half fare and that
all children over IL must pay full
fare. Conductors are now required
to insist upon the collection of pro-
per fare and if the parents or
guardians still insist that the state
ment concerning the age is correct,
then conductors, under a new regula-
ton, must ask parents to sign a
blank which is in the nature of an
affidavit and which places them up
on record in respect to the child
ren's ages. 1t is believed that many
parents, rather than commit them
selves to perjury, will pay the
proper fare. In any event the road
is protected, and, in case of a spot
ter who was placed in service by
the Interstate commerce commission
check up the conductors in this di-
rection, both the conductor and the
are protected should a
charge of violating the law be filed.

STARTING FIRES WITH KER-
OSENE

In the first six months OF The year
1914 more people were burned to
death in the state of Illinois by start
ing fires with kerosene than from
any other cause.
1t is an exceedingly dangerous
practice, warns the state fire mar
shals bulletin So many fatal acct
dents We're reported that in some
counties the coroner of the county,
who was called upon to investigate
these fatalities, issued warning
through the newspaper calling the
attention Of the people to the dam
gerous practice of starting fires with
kerosene. In the county of Stephen
son, Illinois, live deaths were re
ported in the period of one year.
Kerosene should never be poured
from a can into a stove under any
circumstances. A stove may be
warm or there may be a coal Of fire
left in it, and in either case a ser
ious explosion is likely to follow.
Beside the liquid kerosene in the
can there is always present a high
" inflammable and explosive gas.
If the stove is warm or a few Goals
left in it, this gas may ignite and
a serious explosion occur, in which
the person starting the fire is like
ly to be burned to death.
kerosene starts a fire in hur-
ry 1t produces about six times as

els Of corn on single acreyof land,
which is the largest yield per acre
ever recorded. This remarkable re
cord was made By an ordinary boy
and on ordinary land He became
interested il corn raising and stud
led into the matter OF the kind and
proper use Of fertilizers and proper
cultivation. AS result OF putting
his knowledge to practical use he
raised 232 bushels Of corn on one
acre Of land, thereby winning the
championship Of the world. What
Walter L. Deenson has done serves
10 show what common everyday,
out and out boy can do if he is Civ
en- the chance. There are thousands
Of ambitious boys on the rich farms
Of this state who never know what
what it is to be encouraged to take
an interest in agriculture or stock
raising. If these boys were given a
small plot Of ground and some seed
corn Tor exampIe-to plant and cul-
dvate. a circus would not be able
to turn their thoughts very far away
from the enchanted spot where
wonderful harvest Will be theirs to
reap. A boy may not be able 70
raise 232 bushels Of corn on an acre
but he can do well enough to make
his efforts worth while. What boy in
this county is going after that
worlds championship record next
year?
