A girl with a job shared her work with
one who. was out of employment that
both might have something to give. A
man quit smoking SO he could give more

pairs on his house that the centenary

Many of the churches, especially the
smaller ones will not meet the Church
Aid apportionment. These churches al
so find the conference claimants ap-
portionment heavy, but most of the

Stewardship Idea Gains.
The stewardship idea gains ground
where intelligently and earnestly pushed.
A splendid illustration is at Moodus,
country church. where the tact and
patience of the student pastor, Theod-
dore Peterson, saw the budget of ST.
300 pledged At Trinity, Norwich. the
faithful presentation of stewardship
through a solid month resulted in an 80
per cent increase over the pledges of a
year ago.
The two great problems of the church
are those of finance and leadership.
Stewardship rightly understood and real
apprehended, whether in the life of the
individual or in the life of the church,
it becomes not only the disinfectant for
indifference, covertousness and selfish
ness in every form, but also the inspirer
of new spiritual joy als1 a real social
service 1t is not Insignificant I believe,
that the church on this district which
Is taking the most vigorous steps for
ward is the church that leads by far
in the number Of tithers.
The problem of trained ministerial.
supply is still serious The Methodist
Episcopal church loses five per cent. Of
its ministry each year by death and SUI
perannuation. and needs more than five
per cent. to make up for losses and pro-
vide for advances. In recent years We
have been recruiting only three and
half per cent. Last year the probation
ers received in all the conferences eX-
ceeded by only twenty three all the
losses, really negligible increase
for the connection as a whole
There are fewer ministers in the New
England Southern Conference now thar
at any time since 1871. There is a duty
here for the ministry the duty to picl
out and lay siege to the best and strong
est young men to win them for the worF
Of the ministry.

An Effort to Stop Sale of Coal
Editor world"
7 1t seems that in this town of 5000
inhabitants there are a certain few
coal dealers that have monopoly of
the trade in this commodity. In fact,
the dealers of fuel have forgotten
that there is a movement afoot to
endeavor to reduce the price of coal
to somewhere near the pre-war figure.
The price of bituminous coal in this
town today is approximately at the
exorbitant level of from $3.50 to
$1,000, and the local dealers are daily
telling the consumers of this little
city that they are unable to supply
their demands at a lower figure be-
cause of the high prices at the mines,
the high freight rates, etc. This is
evidently by recent incident that has
caused these dealers to become very
indignant.
1t seems that an independent ship
per consigned cargo of coal to this
town and upon arrival of this car,
it was not unloaded as the consignee
was not in position to handle the coal
at that time. This shipper therefore
instructed their agent to sell the coal,
as demurrage would accure at the rat
OF $500 per day unless the car was
unloaded. When the shippers agent
arrived he Immediately took orders
for the car of coal from the people of
this city, who were indeed very glad
to receive good Indiana egg coal at a
price several dollars lower than they
had been paying for their soft coal
heretofore.
The work Of delivering the coal
had begun when two very prominent
coal dealers of the city condescended

Coulter Outlines
Better Farm Credit

Fargo, N. D., Jan. "A system of
banks or trust companies, under
state or federal charter, to assemble
the farlnes' notes OF evidence of credit
to issue short term bonds upon these,
and to secure from the borrower an
nually or more often, partial payment
to apply as a sinking fund with OPP
portunity to pay more OF less from
year to year according to the condi-
ton of the crops and prices-which
is the solution of the farm credit
problem proposed by DR.. John Lee
Coulter, president of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, at the an
nual meeting of the North Dakota
Farm Bureau Federation here.
The present credit system is de-
signed for the merchant or manu-
facturer with their quick turnover,
Dr.. Coulter says, and is entirely I'M
suited to the farmer, with his long
turnover period.
"While Uncle Sam had land enough
to give us all farm we needed little
in the way Of long-term, land NOR
tgage credit" DR.. Coulter said. "The
six million farmers of today soon will
have passed away. If we do not pro-
vide for system of credit whereby
the young man with little money, but
with brain and Drawn and farm sense
can buy this land and pay for it a
periol of 20 to 40 years it soon will
pass into the hands of the people of
wealth, we will have a, system of alb
sentee landlcrdism and tenancy, and
then we may expect real trouble"
The federal farm land bank is a
step in the right direction, Mr.. Coult-
er said.

The commandment Of the force was a

ANECESSITY
Or. Gillette
GILLETTE SAYS ALL HAVE
INTEREST IN PROMOT-
ING INDUSTRIES.

People who live in towns and the
farmers must put themselves in an
attitude of making concessions or as
an alternative, cooperative stores
established by combinations of farm
ers will ultimately drive local mer-
chants out Of business, John M. Gil
lette, Of the University Of North Da-
kota told the members Of the Ameri-
can Sociological Society at it's annual
meeting at Pittsburg, Pa, last week.
"That organization Of farmers has
intensified the strife between city and
country is generally recognized by
students Of the subject" continued
DR.. Gillette. "Too often the blame is
attached exclusively to the farmers as
if they have no rights to self -protec-
ton. 1t is not always perceived that
the business elements of cities have
been organized as profit-getting
class and that all these elements pre-
sent united front when ameliorative
agricultural legislation is proposed or
when farmers attempt cooperative
enterprises.
IF the farmers are right in their
contentious that they received an I'M
duly small proportion Of the proceeds.
from their produce, then they have
a right TO organize both economically
and politically to protect their inter-
ests. But be it remembered that their
cooperative efforts evoke about as
much hostility as do their political at
tempts.
"There are many directions for far
mers and townsmen to take in their
teamwork together. Good roads are
mutually desirable. Both sides have
a common interest in promoting local
industries. They make nearby mar
kets for certain kinds of farm produce
and serve as the basis of diversified
farming.
Since it is chiefly over matters of
trade that country and town are ar
rayed against each other, the ques-
ton arises as to how they can COM
pose their differences. The local mer-
chant insists that farmers and other
consumers should patronize home in
dustries and grow quite bitter over
buying from mail order houses. The
farmer, in turn, insists that local
prices Of the things he buys are too
high and for things he sells, too low
eff both sides will be sensible and
fair, there is basis of compromise;
but townsmen and farmers must put
themselves in the attitude of making
concessions. The farmers should moi
be expected to sacrifice all of thei,
gains from buying from mail order
houses, for example: nor should they
expect small merchants to meet the
prices Of such huge and efficient es.
Establishments. The merchant SHOULD
be willing to cut prices and farmers
to pay margin for local convenience
"The alternative would appear tx
be the development of cooperative
stores by farmers that will ultimately
drive local merchants out of business
J The latter would become managers Of
and statesmen in such undertakings
This would remove the reason fo1
strife"

out questionable to Editors in all
parts of the United States, asking

1. What do you believe to be the
feeling or wish of the American people

2. Do you believe our attitude

and, if SO, what should the treaty
provide?
These questions went to newspapers
small and large, in every section Of
the United States, in the belief that
from the small city and town, from
the rural State, the Country editor"
