Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little o0portunity for real
enjoyment, aud awe &C. a rule, q
vague colle,tou Of the meaning Of
pleasure ard g-c"easion. 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 well as instruction, to its
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 ne 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 its place a sat
isfyinG substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business Of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton Of women to the world, and~the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure Is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement Is the charm
Of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations Of
queenly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted womanhood Is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
Of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens Of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics, and protect her
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood Of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget TO mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

We do not know what constitutes q
basis for rate making and have never

perity Of the farm 10 factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm.
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part OF the bur.
den, but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price Of his folly.

Universal instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun.
tiles and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. AS individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain. therefore, that the
church which aims at a perfected So
ciety must use in refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among it's membership, it will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type Of manhood
and womanhood.

THE CHURCH As
ASOCIAL CENTER
a Broader Sphere for ReIlsIon--New
RE c fc7 ls Rural Church.
BY Peter Padford

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty Of the rural church
is as much a part of it's obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
1t is expressing true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpretar
ton Of the functions of true religion.
OF those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty Of the
rural church. The true christian re-
l1gion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
plOSSSu. w ullS CuGIl0ulllS lu6dlS vi
service, the rural church which 1T
tains the fullest measure of success
is thai which enriches as many lives
as 1t can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, If an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; it contains many social groups,
each Of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
church cannot command the inter-
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment Of religiously
divided communities.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The farmer gets more out Of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer 1t is'education. Let US take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at few Of the points
OF greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress Of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but 1t
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble 1t Is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back Of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their In
ventions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions Of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products OF Piow and Farmer whe
Lives at Home Should Rs
Exempt From Increase
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.


The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase In freight rates in the eastern
classification Of territory; the applica-
ton Of the roads to state and inter.
state commissions for an increase In
rates, and the utterances Of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare Of the farmers squarsly and
we will do 30 in this instance. -
The transportation facilities Of the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectively meet the demands Of com.
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
Is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. II in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates Is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern.
sion Of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer 10
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as Justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in.
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist
anco.
The freight rates Of the nation have
been built up along lines Of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-.
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power Of organ
ICED tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com.
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business 10
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-.
ploy counsel to develop his side Of
the case and, as a result, the products
Of the pillow bear an unequal burden
Of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundsntly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product the South, al.
ready bears the highest freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in com.
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out OF pro-
portion with that OF the products Of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levyinS
a further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates a.
between agricultural and other classes
Of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
