MANY DAILY PAPERS
REFUSE LIQUOR ADS
Recent Survey Shows Some
Surprising Results.

Topeka, Kan.-(Special.)-A total
of $40 American daily newspapers
published in the English language de-
cline liquor advertising, according to
a ninvestigation by the Temperance
Society of the M. E. church, with
headquarters here. This inquiry was
directed only to the daily newspapers
CT the country. There are several
times as many weekly newspapers as
Gaily publications and large proper
ton of the weekly newspapers do not
use liquor advertisements.
A large number of papers report
that they are considering change Of
policy which will make their adver-
tising columns dry. They are only
waiting until present contracts expire.
The states of Washington, Oregon,
Oklahoma, West Virginia, North Da-
kota, Colorado and Maine have anti
liquor advertising laws now in effect,
while Georgia, South Carolina, Vir-
glnia and Mississippi have enacted
sucn laws but are not yet in effect.
In Ohio sixty daily newspapers re-
port that they do not use liquor ad-
vertisements. A number that do not
publish such advertisements did not
report.

THE CHURCH As
ASOCIAL- CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIieion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
Rv Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of its obligations
as it's spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a 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 interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
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-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love ard brotherhood
nd fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chaL
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is eX-
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service, the rural church which It
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need O social center The
church need Cffer 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
plex; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter.
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

STATE COMMISSION FIGURES

Do Not Tally With Claims of Liquor
Men Last Fall That Liquor Manu-

Than One Hundred Thousand Wage
Earners-Liquor Industry of State
Stands at Foot of List of Twenty
six Industries.
Columbus, O.-(Special.) Some in
teresting figures showing the relation
of the liquor industry of OHIO to the
other industries of the state are taken
from a recent report of the Ohio in
dustrial commission.
Under the law, the industrial COM
mission receives sworn statements of
all industries in the state in regard to
the number of wage -earners en-
ployed, wages paid, etc. Industries
employing: five or more persons are
covered.
According to the report of this COM
mission; 282 persons are employed in
tie distilled liquor establishments in
the state and 5,792 in the malt liquor
Industries: This is a total of SOFA
The number employed in the manu-
facture Of vinous liquor is not report
ed, but, according to the government
figures, this number does not exceed
$50. This makes a grand total of 6,224
wage-earners in all the liquor manu-
facturinS establishments in the state.
The official argument against pro
hibition, which, under the law, was
mailed to all he voters Of the state
last fall, set forth that the number of
wage-earners II Ohio engaged in the
manufacture of liquor exceeds 100 900.
This statement does not correspond
with the report of the liquor manufac-
turers themselves made under oath to
the state industrial commission. The
question is, where are the other "a, 600
wage-eaIners employed in the manu-
facture OF liquor?
An analysis of the report of tie in

MILK DISPLACES BEER
Employees of Milwaukee Electric Rail
Wav Switch Their Drink,

Employees of Milwaukee Electric Rail-
way Switch Their Drink.
1t looks as if milk, not beer, will
make Milwaukee famous
Writing to the Scientific Temper
ance Journal, Mr. Burt Hall, welfare
secretary of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, tells how
milk is now being used by the COM
pany's employees in place of beer. 1t
was the habit Of a number of the men
to drink beer as a beverage with their
monday meal. The company invited
milk man to negotiate with the men
and to supply them with milk He
made a proposition that if the men
would increase the number of pints of
milk used per day to 100 pints or over,
he would reduce the price from
cents to 21A cents per pint.
1t was not long until between 300
and 400 pint bottles of milk nad taken
the place CT an equal number OF bot
ties of beer. The employees worked
out the problem satisfactorily to them
selves and all agreed that a milk diet
is far superior to a beer diet.

THE KANSAS DEATH RATE

Official Explains Why 1t Is Lowe
Than That of Any Other State.
The death rate in Kansas is the
lowest of any state in the Union, 9.S
to each 1000 population. The director
OF the United States census inquired
Of W. J. Deacon, registrar Of the Kan
sas vital statistics bureau, why the
Death rate in Kansas is so low. Mr.
Deacon replied:
Because the people do not drink
liquor, because they have money
enough to live right, and because they
have the intelligence to read of the
conditions that make for short lives
and know how to dodge them. Be
cause Of the absence of the barroom,
our growing young men find more
lealthful pastimes than loafng in an
Flsohol-laden atmosphere"

Effects Of Prohibition In Americas

Seattle is Americas largest dry

The records show that during Feb
ruary this year there was only about
per cent of the normal liquor CON

Of February show a reduction of 90
per cent in liquor purchases, and a re-
auction of 73 per cent in arrests for
drunkenness.

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 tC
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 no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with nc
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 m .dern 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.

TRACED TO DRINK

Liquor Responsible For Most of Cases
In Columbus Criminal Court.
Columbus, o. -(Special.)- In the
criminal division Of the municipal
court of this city during the month OF
January, 1852 cases were heard. or
this number 125 persons were ar
raigned on charges of drunkenness
end GA for vagrancy, practically all of
the vagrancy cases being due to
drink. This means that more than
half of all the cases brought in the
criminal division Of this court can be
traced directly to drink. 1t is probable
that this proportion of cases before
the police courts in the wet cities and
towns in Ohio are due to the same
cause.

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 cultured and refined society
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at a perfected So
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
alted 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 its 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.
