Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity Of providing entertain
ment, as we'll as instruction, to it's
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out Of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements of
the young are imperative. The church,
must provide directly or Indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, parties, pic
MICS or other forms of amusement.
One thing is certain. and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in it's place a sat-
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes :
basis for rate making and have eve!
heard Of anyone who did claim tt
know much about it, but if the pros
perity Of the farm is a factor to b.
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase il,
rates is necessary, we would prefe..
that it come to US through articles O
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would
for example, prefer that the rate OF
hogs remain as at present and thu
ate on meat bear the increase, TO.
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm
er who will not try to raise his owl
meat ought to be penalized. W.
think the rate on coal and brick cal
much better bear an increase thai
the rate on cotton and flour. w
would prefer that the rate on plow'
remain the same, and machinery
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bea:
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be S,
arranged that the farmer who live.
at home will bear nc part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who board
in other states and countries ant
who feeds his stock in foreign lands
pay the price of his folly.

Germans Concentrate
For NeU Offensive

PARIS, Jan. 5.--Although the wealth
er Is improving there has been only
minor fighting along the northern
battle front Latest reports indicate
the Germans are concentrating for u
new offensive to the east and south
east CT Ypres and at la. Bassee.
Fresh troops have been brought up,
supported by artillery and il is be-
lieyed SIS soon as the inundated area
freezes solid that forward move
ment Will be attempted
Meanwhile. the fighting continues
in Alsace. In the vicinity OF Steir
bach positions have Deen taken and
re-taken as many as half dozen
times. The latest reports received
indicated substantial gain for the
French troops However. both sides
are being strongly reinforced and
there are indications that the fighting
in thfs vicinity has only begun. The
intensely cold weather is interfering
seriously with operations. II is almost
impossible to move artillery through
the mountain passes and as a result
most OF the fighting Is now confined
10 infantry encounters.
Along the heights of the Meuse, the
artillery duel continues without inter
ruption. Both sides are so strongly
entrenched that frontal assaults by in
fantry are out Of the question.
