make so remarkable a success as an

poet" would become an air fighter
after passing his fftieth birthday.
Above all, it is pointed out, he is an
inspiration to his people. His deeds
during the war are known to all the
world, but few outside italy realized
that he has been the greatest public
orator of his country since the war
began. His speeches are full of prose
music, and the, message which he
dropped over Vienna was written as
only a poet and a soldier could
write.

That the Germans expected to oc-
cupy this territory for long time is
shown by the character ,of their

If the weather has been bad during

CHURCH WILL UNDERTAKE
HELP COUNTRY LIFE
Methodist Episcopal Society to
Spend $500, 900 in Training
Clergy to Assist in Uplift Work.
Correspondence of tn. Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 25.-To help
make farming profitable and rural life
endurable for the farmer. his wife. his
sons and daughters, the Methodist
Episcopal Church has undertaken-to
spend $5,50o.o00 in training ruraLuin-
listers to teach scientific farming and
develop society activity in. country
districts. The purpose, as announced
by the board Of home missions and
church extension is to keep the farm
ers on the farms. and thus help to win
the war.
Dissatisfaction with country life. it
is declared, has caused a decrease Of
rural population in Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Vermont and New
Hampshire. The boys and girls will
not stay on the farm when high wages
are to be earned nearer the moving
picture theaters.
Special Training for Rural Pastors.
To combat this the Methodist Church
Is planning to send many Of its best
| men to the country churches, Of
which 1t has upward Of $4,000. Rural
pastors are to have special training
,.g In agriculture' SO as to help farmers
are to be established where agricul-
tural colleges do not meet the needs.
Associations OF rural ministers to
put these plans into effect already
have been started in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Iowa, South Dakota, Pennsyl-
.vania and Nebraska Chairs of rural
sociology to teach how to be happy
though living on a farm have been
established in theological seminaries,
and plans are making to start similar
courses in colleges.
