FEDERATiNG COUNTRY
CHURCHES


One of the most vital matters dis
cussed at Church and Country Life
convention held the past week at
Columbus, Ohio. has been a series
Of propcsa for federating country
churches. This is an age of consol-
idation, and the little rural churches
can't afford to ignore It.
The spectacle of rival sanctuaries
clustering around a village green is
familiar one in our rural life. On
warm Sundays with the windows
open the choirs seem to be trying to
drown each other out. The practical
result is an unho.y competition, and
many jealcusies. The subdivided re.
ligious forces can scarcely afford to
pay the ministers the salary of a
mechanic. 1t is not surprising that
the sermons often sound as If they
we're written by day laborer.
The young clergyman can hardly
support growing family on the rev.
enue of such a parish. The raising
of his scanty salary creates an agon-
izing struggle for ways and means.
The energy that should go into COM
nunity service is given to cooking
suppers, getting up entertainments,
and running fairs.
The jealous members of these
struggling and competing churches
probably think they are doing Gods
service by the struggle to keep alive
their peculiar cut and style of reli-
gion. But more frequently 1t is a
very human dislike for giving up
their own way.
Some practical plans by which
small churches in country towns can
join forces, will no doubt result from
this Columbus meeting.
The overchurched small towns
should swallow their pride and ac-
c.pt 1t. Sectariau feeling could be
satisfied by arranging it so that the
giving up of parish of one denomi-
nation in one place should be Offset
by the yielding Of another sect in an.
other town.
Small churches that thus consoli
date can then afford to raise the
minister's salary as he grows cap
able Of taking a larger parish. They
will be able to put some paint on
dingy walls and repair the cracked
ceiling. They can beautify their
worship with music, and conduct SER
vices having more dignity and inter.
est.

USEFUL AND ORNAMENTAL
PRESENTS

This is supposed to be a practical
age, but many impractical people live
in It. You can always see that at
Christmas time. After the gifts are
distributed, there are plenty of peo'
people who wish they had the money
the things cost.
What mountains of useless brio a
brac used to be accumulated. Most
OF our homes contain a dusty and
melancholy remnant of mistaken
gifts. Fortunately careless children
and housemaids dispose of much of
this stuff by breakage. But it is
often the ugly thing that defes
rough usage, still, such trash can
always be sent to the charity rum
mage sale. sAiI
Much might be written about the
useless and grotesque ornaments that
used to be offered as gifts. Some Of
us can recall the fake vases and
pitchers, goregously ornamented with
gilt or foliage, but which had false
top and would hold neither flowers
nor water. Yet they were supposed
by many to be very recherche. Then
there were the ribbon calendars,
with three ribbons to be pulled down
each day, to show the month, the
day of the month, and day of the
week. Friendship was rarely fervent
enough to keep them going more
than a fortnight. The disappearance
Of such useless gifts was always en-
barrassing when the giver called.
But there are limits to friendship.
While many unserviceable gifts
are still made at Christmas, there
is more tendency now toward really
practical membranes. A great
deal Of substantial clothing, furniture
table ware, and dry goods, Is used
for presents. The average man
would rather have so cent necktie,
seected with due regard to mis- own
tastes, than the best So handkerchief
case or decorated cigar holder that
can be found among the fancy goods.
Yet anything really beautiful, a
well painted or photographed picture,
a finely executed piece of silver,
& ass, pottery. is always welcome.
1t should serve some useful house
hold end. Buying for pure ornament
Ia precarious. Standards of beauty
change rapidly. what is called fine
today may be obsolete tomorrow.

SPEAKING OF
MINORITIES

Senator Oscar Underwood of Ala
bama is about to don his toga. AL
ready he is bursting with great ideas
regarding the Senate. He is strong
for cloture-a polite French term
which, by Interpretation, means
gag rule" Mr.. Underwood Is &C.
customed to applying the gag rule,
having learned to do so when he was
foreman Of the Congressional crew
that did Woodrow Wilson's bidding
at the Capitol. His argument for
transferring this instrument OF po'
litical oppression TO the Senate
where from the beginning free
speech has ruled and has greatly
benefited the country-is that the
Senate is distinctly minority body
1t does not represent a majority OF
the country.
Senators are elected by states. Il
Mr.. Underwood was thinking Of hin
self and of his own state, he is alb
solutey correct. For he does no
represent anything like a majorit!
Of the people of Alabama.
Mr.. Underwood was elected to tn,
Senate in 1914, BY the census o
1910, Alabama had 2,l3S,O93 inhabit
ants, who certainly had not diminish
ed in number four years later. Ye
Mr.. Underwood when elected senate
received only G3,3S9 votes. His Re
! publican opponent had 1890; a Pro
gressive candidate had 4,263; a Sc
cialist got 1.159; there were sea
tering This makes a total vote {
1888 out OF a population Of 2,13S
O93.

senators in 1914, the nearest to All

MEAT PRODUCTION ON Ma.
TIONAL FORESTS INCREASES

Secretary Of Agriculture Allots Range
For Nearly Two Million Cattle and
Nine Million Sheep.
1 Washington, April 10 - Receipts
from grazing permits on the National
Forests for the season of 1915 will
contribute to the public revenues APP
proximately 81 100000, or about $780,
600 more than last year, according TO
an estimate made from the allowances
just authorized by the Secretary of
Agriculture. The forests this year
will furnish forage for 1,9s3,775 cat
tie and horses, s,747,025 sheep and
goats, and 81, 040 swine, the figures in
dicating a material increase Of meat
production on the government regulat-
ed ranges.
The increase of 92,656 cattle and
horses over the allowances for 1914 is
accompanied by decrease of l20,SSl
sheep and goats, showing that in
many parts of the West sheep are Civ
ing way to cattle. II is thought that
the recent high price of beef has been
encouraging many farmers and form
err sheepmen to go into the cattle bust
ness, though it will be the first time in
the last five years that he allowance
of sheep has not increased over that
of the previous season. There are To-
calities, however, where the demand
for sheep range is far in excess of the
supply
The grazing charges are slightly
higher this year. In the West the
rates have been fixed at as to 80
cents per head per year for cattle and
horses, and IL to Is cents for sheep
and goats; in the East the rates are
from IS cents to $l.50 for cattle, $1.10
to $500 for horses, and 25 to 40 cents
for sheep and goats. Pigs pay from
20 to AZ cents in the West and so to
W cents IN tne East.
The grazing allowances indicate the
relative Importance of the stock bust
ness in the various parts of the West
in which the National Forests are sit
uated. The Forests in District 2,
which embraces Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota, Nebraska, western
Kansas, northern Michigan, and north
ern Minnesota, are allowed the larg
est number of cattle, 522,550 head, and
next to the largest number of sheep,
1877 500 head; District a, comprising
Utah, southern Idaho, western Wyom-
ing, eastern and central Nevada, and
northern Arizona, the second largest
number of cattle, 431,1 50 and the
largest number of sheep, 1886 $50;
District 1, comprising Montana, north
westerne Washington, northern Idaho,
northwestern South Dakota, and
southwestern North Dakota, 1850
head of cattle, and 1,304,500 head of
sheep; District 3, comprising Arizona
and New Mexico, 418,900 cattle and
905, 800 sheep; District 5, embracing
California and southwestern Nevada,
212,2S0 cattle, and 508,050 sheep; Dis
5rict 6, compri0ing Washington, Ore
gon, and Alaska, 159,250 cattle, and

PatrOniZe Home Merchants

| Just now Burlington is making a great
effort to get trade from rural commune
ties and holding out special inducements,
| they say, to get the people to visit the
Queen City and make their purchases.
1t is fact, however, that no better in
ducements can be made than are given
by the home merchants. You can make
your purchase at home and get just as
good a trade and in many cases better
bargain than in the city. The home mer.
chant has lower rents to pay, pays less
for clerk hire and in many ways his ex-
penses are less than those of the city
merchant. Besides all this, the home
merchant you know, he is ready to make
good every sale and give satisfaction.
He is your fellow townsman and he helps
pay the taxes in the town you live. He
is identified with every public interest
that you are and therefore there should
be a mutual feeling between you and
him. Patronize your home merchant and
in the long run you will find you are the
better ofl-hnancially and otherwise.
