Idle Churches

An Investigation or rural church
conditions in Nebraska shows that
SO out of 682 reported from, were
unsupplied with pastors and were
holding no services whatever. In
many states the proportion of idle
churches is more than that.
In many cases the community
was better off TO close one church
and concentrate effort on stronger
enes. Many churches might be kept
open by giving some minister an
inexpensive automobile and letting
him preach to different .congreea-
tions in diffefenl towns by relays.
An active man thus equipped can
bring his messas into widely sep
arated villages in these days OF
quick transportation.

Something of this kind always

People who produce or handle that
kind of stuff suffer a loss of trade
far exceeding the gains of their
cheating.
Most rotaiIers are pretty careful
nowadays to give good measure
and they find it pays. Liberal
measure brings liberal trade.
Farmers who sell from door to door
or at open air makets find it pays
to be generous. The stingy seller
promotes a certain contempt. Will
ful attempts to cheat are stealing,
and should be visited with the
same penalty.

damental economy" directing our
attention to the fact that we are
over producing and that the prob

plus.
It is refreshing even if neither
practicable nor profitable, to turn
from the calamity howlers who
shout starvation in our ears, TO those |
who say that all of the present fra
ternity of alarmisls are talking to
hear their heads roar They say it |

They say that matters of wages and

pared with the DISPOSITION of that
which we cannot in our greatest
fit of prOfiigacy consume or dissi !
pate. They say for the benefit him
who would fear famine to colntem
plate the following question:: !
WHAT will be done with the ac.
cumulating wealth of Missouri when
the commonwealth reaches that
point where she is getting the high
est possible yield from every acre
of her vast agricultural stretches,
operating every mine, raising every
form of fruit, applying the latest
scientific methods to all channels
of production?"
These students of the fundamen.
tai explain that Missouri has great
er natural resources than has any
other state in the union, and that
owing to climate conditions obtain
ing here. the consumption is low.
leaving the greatest possible marsin
between its yield and dissipation.
Every year, they assert, we add to
our surplus and that some day this
accretion of wealth, like collosal
ghost of Old Rome, will rise and
stalk abroad in our midst destroying
the moral fibre of our people
through the instruments of indul
gence.
Every county in the state. these
students warn us. is contributing to
this increment 80 that our wealth !
may be likened unto a vast lake
into which hundred streams and
more pour their waters of surplus,
while none lead from it. They say
Missouri raises everything she !,
needs; that even though an impene-
trable wall thousand feet in alti-
tude be erected around her. borders. !
her populace could continue to live

And when one comes to think of
it. the banks Of a single community
today contain aggregate bank depos,
its often greater than those of the
entire state few years ago. This
growth in bank deposits represents
the accretion of our wealth in dol
lars and cents. We are glad to see
it increase in size; we boast of it
in our civic talks and print 1t in
bold type on our club stationery
and yet it must be evident that
some day it will rise to smite us un.

Phillip MAY
Be CANDIDATE

Governor Philip probably will be
candidate for a fourth term. There
are distinct indications of such a
movement among his closest friends
in the capitol. Gov. Philip supported
/ L. Lenroot for United States sena-
tor and political leaders point out that
with both Gov. Philip and Mr.. Len
root on the ticket ,.osre would be a
strong combination. Gov. Philip is
talked of as a senatorial candidate
but it is claimed that as he brought
Mr.. Lenroot 81: ongly into the senator
iaI limelight two y airs ago any op-
position fom that source now is un-
likely.
Wisconsin has never had fourth
term governor. Gov Rusk served 3
terms. Gov.La Toilette was elected
for three terms, but served only five
years. An election to four terms is
pointed out to be a political honor
worth fighting for.
Should Gov. Philip enter the field
for fourth term it will spill the
plans of many. Half dozen candi-
dates have been mentioned. Senator
Roy p. Wilcox is in the field. Secre-
tary of State Hull is expected to enter
He will run as prohibition candi-
date, asking defeat of the Mulberger
rs per cent beer bill, which comes
to referendum vote next November
Lieut.. Governor Dithmar, Barabuo, will
probably become a candidate. State
senators have signed a call asking
that he now enter the race. There is a
possibility that J. N. Tittemore, Omro
recently reelected president of the
Wisconsin Equity society will become
a candidate. In the western part of
the state there is considerable talk
of J. D. Beck, Viroqua, formerly a
a member of the state labor commits
sion and one of the best known La
Toilette men in the state.
There has been talk of ex-Speaker

Before Tanlac Built Him Up Was
So Run Down He Lost Lots of
Time From Work

mo sir. wasn't much surprised,
said August P. Newman, Of 804 Green
field avenue Milwaukee, Wis. in an
interview, recently, when I got on the
scales the other night and found that
had gained twenty-three pounds for
I have been eating like O. wolf and
picking up ever since finished my
first bottle of Tanlac, a little more
than two months ago.
Mr.. Newman has lived in Milwaukee
for nearly forty-five years and is en-
Dloyed as switchman for the Chicago
Milwaukee e. st. Paul railroad in the
Union depot yards. He has been IN
the service of this company for the
past fifteen years and is well known,
especially among railroad people.
"Tanlac is certainly the finest medl-
cine going for person in the shape
I was" he continued, "My stomach had
been in a mighty badd fix for twelve
years, or more, and | was also having
trouble with my back and just seem
ed to be gradually playing out. After
a meal and / always had to be very
careful what / ate. / would bloat up
with gas as tight as a drum and l
couldn't bear my belt around me.
There were many things / could not
eat without just suffering agony az
forwards. | also had severe pains in
nv hips and back and would get so
dizzy sometimes while bending over
to turn a switch that / would nearly
fall over. My back Was also very weak
and hurt me so it was all | could do
to bend over and throw a switch.
Many a time I was in so much misery
I could not stay on the job. and lost
lots of time on account Of my cond1-
ton. 1t would take nearly all my
wind going up and down the box cars
and if had to run a short distance |

so tagged out after a nights work
that / would just have to drag myself
home.
"But things are altogether different
with me now for am just like new
man and never miss a nights run. /
can now sit down and eat just every
thing even pickles and pastries, things
wouldn't dare touch before-without
the least trouble afterwards. | used
to be so nervous the least thing would
upset me and [ couldn't rest well, but
now I can sleep like log even while
the piano is being played in the next
room to me. My back used to ache

pillows while sitting down, but now
it's the rarest thing l ever feel the
slightest pain, and / never have a
