POLICY OF THE RURAL CHURCH.
IWallace's FRrmerl {.

At a recent conference OF ministers,
social workers. farmers and others in
tercsted in a better social life in the
country, the country church came in
for the usual analysis. 1t was decided,
without q dissenting vote that the
average small town or country commu-
nifty was over churched and that pro-
gross could only be made by union or
elimipa ton.
AS 10 just how this was to be done.
there was a very wide and immediate
difference Of opinion. Men who were
not particularly interested in denomin-
atoms as such were very vertain that
the community church, with no en-
tanSling alliances with old church gov
erning bodies, was the ideal form. Most
of the adherents of the denominations
gracefully yielded the point as to the
utility OF UNCONVENTIONAL differences,
but chung very presistently to the
theory that the denomination, under
present conditions, offered the best
chance for adequate control.
The discussion yeered off finally into
Il dispute az to whether the commu-
nifty church as a new and distinct type
Of organization could not eventually
create an overhead organization of its
own. The hackers Of the community
church had hoped it could: the denom-
inationalists were sure 1t could not.
As meter of theory the commu-
nifty church idea seems the best. AS a
matter Of actual practice, the best re-
suits seem to have come in towns

decided to merge into one church, with
y community program, but under the
name and guidance OF some one of the
dcnominarional bodies. The local
church needs some relation with ma
tonal affairs in religion: II must get
it's ministers from some source: 1t very
often requires the sense of social solid
arity that comes with. union with other
similar bodies in order to keep itself
alive.
In the majority Of cases, the people
of an over churched district may well
decide to form a union Church and af-
filiate with any strong overhead organ
iZa.ion. That Is, If district is sup
porting Presbyterian. Baptist and
Methodist churches, and 1t is plain
that better results may come with only
one church. then it is obviously the
JOB Of the people Of the three churches
to form q ce.'.al organization and de-
eide as to whether il shall affiliate with
the Presbyterian, Baptist or Methodist
state and national organization.

denominational differences are strong
and bitter. and where there has been

ond with | to US.

To obtain an understanding of the
important part the automobile plays
IN both the social and business life of
the United States, II is only necessary
10 compare the number Of cars with
the total population Of the four pr1n-
cipal countries of the world" says g.
A Nssel, president of the Kssel
Motor Car Company.
In the United States there Is one
automobile to every eighteen per-
sons; in Great Britain. one car to rs
persons; in France. one car to every
4oO persons; and Italy and Belgium,
one to every $40 persons, or. taking all
the cars in the four European coun-
tries named above, there was at the
beginning Of the war a total of $50, 900
motor vehicles, or one TO every 353
persons. This is all the more remark
able when you consider that the pop
ulation of the United States at that
time was 1000. 900. as compared to a
total foreign population of LII. .ooo, 900
people.
one main reason why the automo-
bile has become more popular with a
larger and more diversified class of
people in the United States. is because
the European manufacturers, before
the war, regarded the motor car as a
luxury and consequently designed
their models from that standpoint. On
the other hand, the American manu-
facturer has always regarded the au-
tomobile as utility and consequently
designed and built his products ac-
cordingly.

instead OF sssociating the ownership

err one ought to think first OF the
farmer when speaking of automobiles.
ror statistics prove that larger
percentage Of farmers now own cars
than do residents of towns and cities.
Recent statistics indicate that one
out of every two farmers now own
some sort OF an automobile" says
John ID. Mansfield. general sales
manager OF the bort Motor Car Com
pany. "A few years ago the per-
centage was one in five While the
prosperity that has come to the farm
er recently has played some part in
the Increase OF automobiles in the
rural districts, there is bigger
reason.
"A motor car is a vital transporta-
tion unit to thee farmer. Years ago.
even the poorest farmer owned a
horse. He had to. The same situa-
ton is true of the automobile to-
day. 1t isn't a matter of pleasure
with the farmer, it is a matter OF
business
This same situation applies, I
believe. to a much larger number of
city dwellers than now own cars.

ness men are getting along with
antiquated transportation when
they stick to electric or steam
roads. By that l mean that they
are wasting time and money which
aggregate a distinct loss to them
selves. II the same kind OF waste
was permitted in their business
they would be failures.
Having the need for an automo-
bile brought home forcibly, as 1t is
to the farmer, is one way of realiz-
ing what a motor car can do for
you. Sitting down and studying the

TIRE AND HUMAN BODY

United States Tire Company. TIL.

walls to the skin, while imitation
pressure is to a tire what food is

blisters leading to separation and

Breaks in the carcass of a tire re-
quire the same attention as a broken
bone. The breaks must be repaired
and "splints." in the form of a sec
tional vulcanized inset, applied in
order to reinforce the broken part.
II you failed to continually fur
nish your body with food to replace
that used up by the digestive pro-
cesses you would soon die. A tire
requires a certain imitation pressure
to enable it to carry its load. "Di-

The Tanning of the Auto is not the

In these days when we hear so much
of woman's suffrage and other i'm
portant economic matters into which
the American woman Is finally coming

Tanning of the Auto"
It Is neither fair nor ethical to as
sert that the modern automobile is so
thoroughly simple in its control and
ease of driving that a child can,
without difficulty, learn to run it.

deep masculine reflection that milady
has made IL her business to master
the driving Of a car.

There have been two so-called re-

automobilists know, are vslueless.
The first Is stitching on an old band"
over the tire. A certain amount Of
friction is caused between the old tire
and the band" which wears both

these parts of the tire never touch

rpm. instead of l. 500 to 1000, as with
previous REQ engines.
Mounted on the l30 inch wheelbase
will be a five-pasenger touring and a
three-passenger roadster body, selling
for leo. A line of closed bodies will
be introduced later. The principal re-
finements in the engine. which is a
1916 by inch unit, consist of block
casting the six cylinders, the use of
a detachment head with a removable
cover plate, and a 2A inch crankshaft
carried on four bearings. The over
head intake and side exhaust valves
are still employed. Pre-heating ar
rangements for the air are now used
with short portion of the intake
header ard the exhaust manifold in
tegral.
The dry-disk clutch is continued.
The car has Hotchkiss drive, with
semi-fioatinig axle and semi-elliptic
spings. The chassis parts and run
ming gear generally are unaltered or
refined in minor retail. A noteworthy
change is the abandonment OF grease
cups in favor of the high pressure
grease gun system. by means OF
which grease is forced under SO pound
pressure to the bearing points through
fittings adapted TO the gun tube.
A feature of the equipment is the
use of 80 by inch cord tires all
