NJ. W. A. ON BOOM AGAIN.

loG have often heard about the
follow that couldn't come back. In
fact, we have all known of such,
but the good old Modern Woodmen
of America IS not one of them. 1t
is coming back into its own again
so fast that its former traducers
are forced to sit up and take notice.
For a time, when the Chicago rates
were being discn5t, and few
were determined to place the rates
SO i-igh that it would mean struo--
Gle to keep paying them. there
was q slumping of OF member
ship, and of new material
1t is different now. The rate
question has been settled without
change on a basis Of twelve assess S
ments q year, and as a result tie
order is striking It's old GAIT again
and IS coming back stronger than
horse radish. During 1911 there
were $4,000 new members taken into
the society. besides the 10000 re
instated. The receipts in the ben
ehciary fund were Sjl2. .698. 600 in
the same year and the disburse-
mehts 100000 showing net
gain Of Si.13l. 600.
Since the organization of the
society $4,000 members have died.
and to their beneliciaries has been
paid ont the magnificent sum of
ail4.0oo. 100000. This is re-
MA lSal'e recevd.
\ bitter FIGHT was waged bv self
lsh interests on the Modern Wood
men from 1912 to 1914. but the
order WAS 50 strong that it came
thru with colors flying, and will
continue to be in tine future, as in
the past, the biggest, the best, and
the cheapest fraIernal insurance
order in the United States. and the
wonder of the insurance world. =

HIGH GRADE COUNTY OFFICERS

1t is generally conceded that the
Richards primary law. as weed :
inc process on candidates. has pro.
ducnd y higher grade of county
officers all over the state than ANY
previous primary law. The initia-
tory selections were made b. re-
preventative committees, in nearly
all instances, instead Of by self
selection by petition.
1t furnishes an Intelligent, CON
servatiye and progressive method
to organize the party government
which i'm turn controls the state
government.
AS an organization law. to try
out issues, within the party, it
furnishes a logical division sfor
and against issues. through IFS
provisions for majority and
minority proposals and there
by establishes majority rule.
1t also retains a direct vote
and the last voice with the people.
1t also has killed personal factions
and made public policies, instead
of office seeking. the issue in tine
primaries to determine the pro
gress of the party By a direct vote.
The legislative bureau of the
state of Indiana is the latest to take
up the Richard primary law. The
Republican party in Minnesota
and California are considering it
and are looking toward its adop-
ton. The Republican Sonth Oak

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed esponsibilities
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions of humanity, or by filing its
columns with the echoes Of the strug-
gles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has higher and nobler task
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personai
conflict scar the tender buds Of new
civilization and illuminate the path.
way to destruction The rural press
is the governing power of public senti
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship Of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm TO the
cities, sweeping before it thousand
bows and girls uer day IT has t0 deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain mead Its
mission is to direot growth teach ef
hciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
Tic the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within it's respective community.

The Power of Advertising.

From the Educators Notebook

"Thc great problem of America lS how to conserve and organize the forces Of demociacV. The schoolh0use is the one true answer The common school plant represents the largest single in- vestment of the peoples money, yet 1T is operated only for d scant seven hours day for an average of IA days in the year" This is the summary of the public school question as seen by Miss Margaret Wilson. daughter of President Wilson. There have been many previous opinions along this line, but few persons have come forth so practically as Miss Wilson. She has gone out to sing in public, to inaugu- rate a fund to promote the use of pub lie schools as community centers. To- night she is completing a tour in CIcVe- land. What We need to do is to ope- rate the school house plant at full ca pacity''. she tells her friends, making e1ch building a headquarters for citi zenship, an ali-year clubhouse for the whole people"
 Not the least interesting of the many wide divergenceS in opinions on the vote for women is the split in the ranks of the educators. Down in New Jersey Whele they are voting on the question of franchise for women, with no less a character than President Will son casting his vote in favor of the measure. Princeton University educa- tors are entirely at odds on the meas ure. President Hibben joins with his predecessor in advocating the enfran- chisement of women. but three of his deans take the opposite view. Dean William r. Magee of the faculty Or Andrew F. West. dean Of the graduate college, and pr. Howard McClenahan, dean of the college. all express them selves as opposed to the measure. For mer dean of the faculty Henry E. Fine stands with the deans. The "Antis" are supported also by Prof Philip Marshall Brown. head of the interna- tional law department and Prof. Henry Ford, an authority on politics.
 Washington University. in St. Louis. opens this week q night school to en- able the shop girls and the busy men to get college edOcarion.
