INSURANCE ASSETS BEING USED
 TO BOOST ECONOMIC PROGRESS

had 9SA per cent of all real estate mortgages held by American life ln- surance companies.
 These reports show that s655, ,0O0,- 900, or 39.03 per cent were at the end of 1914 invested by these l4S companies in farm loans; $993, ,4S0,0D0 or 59.24 per cent were invested in oth- CT real estate securities in the United States; while the balance of S2S,971, OOO, or 1.73 per cent were invested in real estate securities of other coun- tries, chiefly in Canada. AS the value of farm lands and improvements, ac- cording to estimates of the United States Census Bureau, is only little over 30 per cent of the total value of all real property in this country, it appears that life insurance com panies have shown a marked prefer ence for farm loans as compared with city and village loans.
 We are hearing much today of the Rural Credit problem and are being told that the farmers in some sections of the country are often compelled to pay exorbitant interest rates," he continued If this be true, we must look for it's cause outside of the rates which life insurance companies are receiving upon their farm mortgage investments, because we find the av- craze rate on all our farm loans to be but 5.55 per cent. This is indeed sur prising when we learn that farm loans average, with companies chiefly en- gagged in making such loans, but S2,50' each, while the city and village loans of companies chiefly engaged in mak- ing such loans, average $75,000 each, and yield an average interest return of 5.13 per cent.
 Lenders of money are beginning to realize that they should give consid- eration to how capital supplied by them is going to be used, whether to provide luxuries and encourage ex- or 10 improve values and increase income from the properties taken as security. The rule applies alike to city, village and farm prop critics, and believe the time will soon come-if it has not already arrived when there will be a better under standing and closer cooperation be- tween borrowers and lenders, to the end that borrowers may be better en- abled to meet their obligations at ma turity, and lenders may be made to feel more secure in the investments they are making"

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 5. Big work for rural churches in the United States was mapped out here today by prominent agricul- turists and church leaders of more than a score of denomi- nations, attending the nation al conference of the Commis- sion of Church and Country Life which opened yesterday and will conclude tomorrow evening with an address by President Wilson.
 Public meetings of the commission are being held in conjunction with business sessions of the Federal Coun- cil of Churches.
 The program adopted to- day provides that movements shall be instituted in every state within the next year to make rural churches partici- pate in these activities: Good roads, better farming and ex- tension of agricultural col lege work, public health and sanitation, temperance and law enforcement, conSolida tion of schools where poSsi- ble, social and recreational centers, community beautifi- cation, celebration of rellg1- ous and patriotic holidays and boys and girls agricul- tural contests.
 These activities are to be managed in addition to regu- lar religious work.
 To accomplish this program, rural churches must cooperate not only with each other, but also with such organizations as the Grange, Y. M c A., Y. w. c. A, and school authorities, the conference decided.

The yield is re- ported good average crop every where Anatolia is the granary of Turkey, and the report that it's har- vest is under cover assures the capi- tai it's food supply for, the winter months. The chief difficulties in the provisioning of the city are connect ed with transportation. The Ana tolian Railway Company had been compelled even before the war to re- duce it's service somewhat; and mili- tary demands have still further re- duced the available freight capacity.
 The city prefecture has, however, succeeded in reaching an agreement with the war department by which regular grain shipments from Anatolia will be made. It is also hoped 10 se- cure some foreign grain in the near future, and there are no fears that a sufficient supply of grain will not be available for the capital
 A 1hore serious question has been that of securing enough petrolium. Electric lighting was introduced in Constantinople only a few years ago, and very few houses have it. Vast quantities of petroleum are used. In normal times Russia, Rumania and America were the main sources of supply. Today the only source avail able is the Rumanian Steua Ramana, and supplys from this company have recently been most irregular and small. The Black sea between the Rumanian and Turkish coasts is sharply watched by Russian torpedo boat destroyers, and only small quan- titles of oil have come through in lighters. The needs of the, army have also compelled the appropriation G. most of the oil that had been stored up, and Rumania has now prohibited the export of oil. Qfe

tion of rural churches was presented by a committee headed by President Kenyon l.. Butterfield of Massachu setts Agricultural college, former member of the American rural credits commission, which toured Europe two years ago. Plans were formulated to put this program into effect, with each state as a campaign unit. These will be announced locally later.
 Bad business methods in most churches was the subject of another report by a committee of which Prof
 ]. Walter Fiske, of Oberlin, O., was chairman. It contained recommends tion for campaign of education, in volving the instructing of church treasurers and trustees on standard methods of financing, budget systems, adequate methods of securing contri- buttons, with definite and regular pay ments, simple system of parish ac- counts, and periidical auditing"
 Any church's spiritual condition and financial status are closely re- lated," the report commented.
 It added: There is no use deny ing the fact that thousands of coun- try churches are quite unnecessary, because the community had plenty be- fore these came. Rural business men have a right to refuse to support these churches and to focus their SUD- port on such institutions as are ac- tually efficient in community service" |"
 'The tenant system of farming is paralyzing the energies of religious forces at present." sad Rev s. l.. Morris of Atlanta, in an address to- day. He is executive secretary of the home missionary society of the Pres byterian church, South.
 Men who do not own their homes and who in all probability will be miss ing by another year have no great in- centive either to build or maintain the neighborhood churches" Rev. Morris added No wonder it has been said that greater than, pestilence or fam inc is the curse of landlordism. Be- sides, the spiritual interests of the rural church are usually not benefit ed by the system of absentee pastors" He said he hoped more young men would enter the field of rural church work

1NL w OINAA, OSS' . IN ninth annual convention of the Association of Life lnsur- ance Presidents met in New York today for three days discussion of such subjects as the development of city com munities, farming activities, and of railroad facilities, and the part which life insurance investment funds play in all three.
 Policy Reserve Invest ments in Relation to Econom- ic Progress" was the broad general topic, and federal of- ficialS and transportation and agricultural experts were ip- vite dto join with the life in surance men in discussing ways and means to still fur ther advance this progress.
 The chairman of the con- vention, William D. Wyman, president of the Berkshire Life Insurance Co.,, of Pitts field, Mass, reported that the assets of life insurance com panies of the country had practically doubled in the last ten years, and said this was characteristic of the abili- ty of the American people to amaSS large funds rapidly and without much ado.
 The assets now amount to nearly five billion dollars, said Mr. Wyman, and by investment in city and farm real estate, and in the bonds of rail roads, states, counties and munici palities and school districts, they were advancing the economic progress of the country. He stated that the life insurance companies, as a class, are now the largest holders of farm mort gages in the United States, having outdistanced the banks. The farm mortgage loans made by the life in surance companies are largely in the West and South. As against a total of less than one million dollars in all the Eastern and Middle Atlantic states, those in the Northwestern - states alone amounted to $2S4, 100000.
 While the assets of American life insurance companies have doubled in the last ten years, the amount loaned by them on real estate mortgages has increased more than two and a half times," said MT. Wyman "Of the assets held by life insurance con- panies at the end of last year, over $1,7OO,O00 900 were invested in real estate mortgages.
 Statistics which have just been col lected by the association show sepa- ration of these investments between farm loans and other kinds of real estate securities, for 14S out of the 250 life insurance companies in the United States. These 148 companies
