The Little Brown Churches
in the Wildwood

There are many 'little brown
churches in the wildwood" that are
neglected and forsaken today, because
unnatural industrial conditions have
drawn the farmers and farm workers
away to the cities and towns and lafe
the farm houses without occupants,
vacant and desolate.
In some instances foreigners have
moved in to occupy the land aban-
doned by the native farm folks, but
they are largely type that is OF little
aid in keeping alive the country
churches and rural ideals.
For many years these country
churches were the source OF supply
! for the city churches. The constant
migration from country to city kept
continually adding to their member
ship. Nearly all the strong preachers
came from the country districts.
Religion both in the country and in
the city is facing serious situation.
With the country churches abandoned
and the source of supply of the city
churches rapidly drying up at the
fountain head, they will cease to grow
and a deplorable decline in church
membership is inevitable.
The various attempts on the part
pf well-meaning faddists to supplant
The old UNCONVENTIONAL churches with
Community social clubs and CONSOLE
dated undenominational churches are
bnly makeshifts that offer no perma-
bent solution.
Give back to the rural districts the
prosperity which will make farming
attractive from a business standpoint
native born Americans. Make pro-
uction so remunerative that farmers
bn afford to cultivate every acre OF
liable land, and they will solve their
wn church and graded school prop
ms without the aid Of the great fad
romoting organizations.-Rural Life.

MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS TO BE HELD
THIS SUMMER
Will be Arranged in Series
According to Type of
Training

In line with the recent appointment
of General Pershing as Chief of Staff,
to build up the organized reserve force
of the Army, announcement has been
made by the War Department that
the series of Civilian Military Train
ing Camps to be held this summer
throughout the country will fit a man
to qualify for membership in the re-
serve forces of the country, either as
enlisted man, non-commissioned Of
ficer, or second lieutenant.
These camps are arranged in a
series and are designated as Red,
White, and Blue Camps. A man who
attends the Red camp is supposed to
be without previous military training,
and at the camps close will be accept
ed as member of the reserve force.
The course of work at the White
camp is of more advanced nature,
open only to those with some military
knowledge, or graduates of the Red
camp. Successful completion of the
course carries with it the grade of
corporal or sergeant in the reserve,
and eligibility to attend the intensive
work of the final camp of the series,
to be known as the Blue camp. A
graduate of this course which can be
taken only by those especially quail
fled as indicated above, or by reason
of National Guard or regular army
service, is commissioned Second Lieu
tenant in the Officers Reserve Corps
of the Army.
Hitherto such commissions have
been open only to National Guard Of
ficers, and graduates Of the training
course at the various colleges through
out the country.
Lack of sufficient funds make it
possible to hold only one of the camps,
the Red, this summer, but by next
year it is hoped Congress will see its
way clear to appropriate enough
money to carry on this very necessary
part of the army reconstruction pro-
gram.
The Red Camp of the End Corps
Area, which embraces New York, New
Jersey, and Delaware, will be held at
Plattsburg, N. Y, starting August
7th, and applications should be made
at once to Major Harvey H. Fletcher,
Adi,,tant's Office. Governors Island
N. Y. Already more than half the
local quota is filled. Any able bodied
citizen between the ages of 16 and 30
is eligible. No entrance examinations
are necessary but every applicant
must present certificate of good
character from schoolmaster, clergy
man, priest, or rabbi. Further inform
alton can also be obtained from Gov
errors Island, the End Corps Head
quarters.

They Auctioned Them
OFF in Babylon

The first known auctions of the
world were held in Babylon many GEN.
turies before Christ. The articles
auctioned consisted of all the virgins
in the city, and the sale was held once
a year. On the day selected the girls
were brought to the market place and
there ordered to remove their gar
ments. All the young men of the city
were also gathered and the maidens,
one by one, were led to the block
where the youth of the city could in
spect them. The beautiful girls were
sold first and every effort made to get
as much as possible for their charms.
The young men Of those days were
as eager to win the fairest maid pos
sible by bidding as men OF later
age were to win them by brave deeds
or pleadings. AS result fortunes
were in the hands of the auctioneers
by the time the homely girls were
reached. This fortune was then d.
vided up and the auctioneering took
on new life. The homeliest girl was
given the largest part of the money
collected from beauty and many a
norman found himself with very
homely wife but comfortable start
in business. The system at least did
away with old maids and bachelors
and insured a steady growth OF popu-
lation and few dependents OF the

One of the knotty points under the
income tax law has been settled by
the Supreme Court. If you sell prop
erty that is reasonably to be regarded
as capital-stock or bonds, to take the
most common example-at a profit
over what it cost you, the profit must
be returned as income and will be
taxed as such. The decision was unan-
imous.

He's Certain He NeUer Sold Johr,
 Doe Any Whiskey

''Who tell you bout my placer" anxiously inquired Martin Macies of Deputy Sheriffs Ernest Smith, R. M. Price and Sterling Price yesterday afternoon after the of ficials had arrested Macies as the operator of one of the largest whisky making plants found in the county for some time.
 "Oh, John Doe" replied one of the officials. "He said you sold him some whisky"
 Macies was silent in serious thought for minute or two.
 By jings," he suddenly ex- claimed. T nevair sell dat jong fellar no whisky. Eff I reech man I bet you $5,000 I nevair sell that jong Fellair no whisky"
 The officers say they found the plant of Macies going in full blast in a tent one mile west of Laveen. As they approached. Macies ran out of the tent into the brush but was caught later by the officers in a search of a 300-acre field. On a gasoline stove in the tent were two 20 gallon copper stills in full oper- ation. the coils being placed in 8 keg, through Wh1ch irrigation Wa ter, brought from a lateral by a ditch, was running.
 The officers found Il gallons of freshly made "mooRshine" whisky in the tent and 12 barrels of mash. each barrel containing 50 gallons. There were 10 barrels of corn mash and two barrels of raisin mash.
 From the condition of Macies when he was brought to the sher- ifs office he evidently had been partaking most literally of his own product.

 Mail Train Holdlp

mile from the holdup, the robbers commanded the engine crew to stop.
 After the locomotive, the mail car and the baggage car had come to halt the bandits told the engine crew to open the door on the pretext of bor- rowing a wrench. The train crew did as commanded under duress but the clerks refused to open the door. The robbers then shouted through the door of the steel mail car that the engineer and fireman would be shot unless the door was opened. The clerks under this threat opened the door couple of feet and the engineer and fireman climbed aboard. No sooner were the trainmen in the mail car than they slammed the door in the face of the robbers.
 Repeated demands from the gang of desperadoes that the door be opened were refused and the thugs placed a charge of dynamite under the front truck of the car. The ex- plosion failed to damage the heavy steel coach and the detonation also failed to scare those inside into sur- rendering their fortress.
 The robbers then fined with re- volvers and sawed-off shotguns at the sheet sides of the coach but the rattle of buckshots and bullets still failed to bring a surrender
 After a consultation the bandits placed a charge of dynamite along side the door of the mail car. The explosion wrenched off the door The mail clerks and the engine crew who had barricaded themselves with in the car, fired at the bandits but the attackers were too far below the floor of the car to be hit. The rob bers replied by throwing two bombs into the mail car, wrecking the in- teior and forcing the defenders to sink down behind their barricade. The clerks and engine crew refused to come out until the bandits had thrown a fire brand amongst the wreckage of the interior of the car.
 This set the debris afire and the defenders surrendered. The bandits then forced the mail clerks to throw out the sacks with the red stripes on" These are the sacks which con- tain registered mail.
 By this time the interior of the car was blazing fiercely and the men

within were in danger of incineration. They crowded to the door and the robbers, seizing their loot, backed away, covering the men whom they allowed to descend from the flaming car.
 Still keeping the mail clerks cov- cred they marched the engineer and fireman to the locomotive and or dered them to proceed south; as the locomotives drew away, the robbers entered their automobile and drove away. The engine crew. as soon as they saw the lights of the automobile disappear in the west, stopped and backed up to where they had been forced to cut off the rest of the train. The burning mail coach, which did not communicate it's fire to the rest of the train because of its steel con- struction, was cut out and the rest of the train, filled with excited pas sengers, was taken to the division headquarters at Champaign.
 During the fight between the ban dits and the mail clerks, four pas sengers followed the locomotive down the track, barricaded themselves be- hind fence and endeavored to aid those who were being fired on in the coach.
 Seeing that those in the mail car were being aided by some of the pas sengers, some of the robbers turned their attention to the helpers and fired several yolleys. Knowlton, who received three bullet holes in his coat, was the only person hit. When the passenger saw that the train crew had surrendered they returned to their coaches.
 The robbers carried their loot to an automobile waiting in the shadow oi some trees surrounding the stream waived goodnight to the trainmer and dashed away in the car.
