to reach the men, women and children who today
are ignoring the church or looking upon it as an
antiquated organization.
The problem resolves itself into one of social
service work. If the church believes the relig-
ious principle that person is saved to serve, it
does not take a long flight Of the imagination to
see that the rural church must serve the commu-
nifty in which it is located
Perhaps the RURAL CHURCH hitherto has
limited its service to mere pronouncement Of re-
ligious truths on Sundays and as result has lost
its hold on the community during the week days.
Our reading has convinced us that church ex-
perts find the rural church organization ineffi-
cient in this respect and are applying remedial
measures tc correct the evil.
rural church workers conference, such as
is now being conducted at Eariham college, I'M
doubtedly will suggest how religion is to be trans
lated into terms of social service for rural COM
munities. Pastors of rural churches and men,
bers of rural congregations will obtain guidance,
inspiration and methods to help them apply re-
ligion efficiently in their communities
The rural church is an institution of great po-
tential powers. Efficient men and women can
make it an aggressive instrument for social bet
terment and Improvement.

Men and institutions today are measured by
EFFICIENCY Inefficient men are discharged,
inefficient institutions lose prestige, standing,

come useless, impotent and finally disappear.
Inefficiency, like powerful anaesthetic
sometimes steals over q virile man or strong
organization. Unbeknown to the victims it robs
them of their strength and faculties. To prevent
the inroads of this potent agency of destruction,
efficiency engineers study men and organiza-
tons, discover the enervating and fatal weak
ness, work out remedial plans, see that they are
carried out, and thus bring about rehabilitation
Efficiency engineers are meeting at Earlham

RURAL CHURCH. Decades ago, the rural
church was a powerful factor for good in the
community. Today it has lost its energy, its
functioning ability is impaired, it is retrograd-
ing. So say persons who are acquainted with this
department Of church work.
We are not interested in the ailments of the
rural church. We accept the diagnosis of church
men. They ought to know They are acquaint-
ed with the institution.
We, however, are vitality interested in the
problem of restoring animation to the RURAL
CHURCH. Hence, we welcome to the city the del
egates who are studying the problem from the
standpoint of efficiency, hoping thereby to make
the church force for higher and better living
A rural church occupies a pivotal place in
rural community life. In isolated districts it Oft
en- is the only meeting farmers attend Once a
week, it brings them together at one place and
for one purpose-to worship God. The social ele-
ment, of necessity, is relegated to the back
ground. but one is not sacriigious in inferring
that the farmers gossip and exchange views on
secular matters before and after the meeting.
The problem of the rural church work today,
as we have been led to see it. is to extend the in
fuence OF the church so that it will galvanze the
lives of the rural dwelsrs not only one day in the
week but seven days.
This task postulates broader view Of the
sphere and functions OF the church and at the
same time all extens on of It's departments 50 as

There are slackers in Europe and there are
slackers in the United States. In making this OBJ
servation we are not referring to the man who
does not believe in PREPAREDNESS. We mean
the slackers in the chairs in the cigar stores, on
the street corners in the clubs and homes.
We mean that MAN who fails to see his RE-
SPONSlBILITY in providing clean, efficient gov
eminent for his city. The man who INDUCES in
destructive criticism about city officials and city
plans, but has neither the nerve nor the patriot
ism to give little of his thought, time and money

ers. We shove our individual duty on Tom, Dick
and Harry, and then cuss because we do not get
what we want. If we expect Tom, Dick and Har-
ry to do our WORK, we must be satisfied with
the way Tom, Dick and Harry do the job.
Without wishing to be impious or to profane
a sacred season, we offer the suggestion that the
citizens of Richmond during the Lent season,
period devoted to religious introspection and
self-examination, seriously search themselves as
to the interest they take in their RESPONSE
BlLITY as residents Of this city. The revelation
would astound them, and, if followed by an earn

fare of this community.

Want PROBE OF
Milk PRICES
Typographical Union |nstructs
Delegates to Bring Matter
Before Trades Assembly.

At their meeting last Sunday after
noon at Browns hall members of Du-
luth Typographical Union No. 1856
discussed the prevailing high prices
of milk in this city compared with
those obtaining in the Twin Cities.
and it was pointed out that as the
result of the activities Of the State
Public Safety commission the Twin
City dealers had been compelled to re-
duce their prices. At the present
time 10 cents a quart is charged
there.
The delegates to the Federated
Trades Assembly were instructed to
bring this matter before that body in
the form Of a. resolution requesting
that the state commission investigate
the milk situation at the Head of the
Lakes and ascertain if the existing
high prices are warranted.
Refuse Assistance.
A communication was received from
International headquarters in answer
to the request recently made by No.

the local to aid in a label cam
paign here, stating that because of
conditions caused by the war result
ing in the increased cost Of conduct
ing the I. T. U. business, it would be
impossible to render any assistance
at this time. The other unions at
filiated with the local Allied Printing
Trades Council, however, have prom
ised to cooperate, ana it is expected
that at the next meeting of the typo

matter will be made.

F. E. Tillquist of st. Paul, chairman
of the state legislative board Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. Mr.. Tillquist is
widely known in labor circles, having
lobbied at the state capitol during
the last few sessions for bills relat-
ing to labor.
He also stated that 1.-The laboring

men of this city to the necessity of

says that "every worker in the state
should have your paper"
After inclosing several subscriptions
from the Twin Cities, Mr.. Tillquist's

WANTSc CORRECT
WEIGHT OF ALL
COAL PURCHASES
Il. B. -Hostetter Asks Civ to
Establish Wei;ghn,aster's :
Department.

"A. B. HOstetter, local agricultural
agent, has requested the city to estab-
fish weighmaster's department,
other than that provided by the
state, so that consumers may be as
sured that they receive full measure
on their purchase Of coal.
LAS 1t is now," Agent Hostetter
said, Il am positive that a ton of coal
this month does not equal the weight
OF ton Of coal last month, and is
either more or less. Usually with
the advance in price the weight is
less, so* that the; consumer is hit both
ways. We are paying for man on
the wagon, a. couple of scoops and
shovels,' what coal falls off going up
hill, and our *neighbor's coal perhaps
ln the event it comes in one Of those
snbdivtded wagons" "
Since every endeavor to gain a
municipal coal dock in Duluth and
have the city handle the coal business
has proved futile, the city might at
least assure the people correct weight.
This can only come by having an Of
fetal weighnaster and scales to gov
ern. Scales might be correct on WHICH
the coal is weighed, but this does not
assure corset: weight. Perhaps we
are getting correct weight, in<which
