the destitute orphans and widowed

THE RURAL CREDIT MOVEMENT

1t seems singular, considering how
tremendously alert the American
people are in so many ways, that
they have been so slow to put farm
ing on a correct basis.
Take the rural credit movement,
for instance. The so called Raj
feisen system was begun in Germany
in 1854, and it supplied loans TO
farmers in that country for an aver
age of IL per cent. In 1910
there were 1900 such credit unions
in Germany, 5000 in Austria, ard D.
600 in Italy.
The rural credits movement be-
came active in this country about
1910, and in 1916 the federal farm
loan act was passed. The difficult
ties of the farmers in this country
are largely due to the hardness
shown by the American people in
taking up an idea that became popu-
lar in Europe many years ago.

REFUGEE MEAL
FOR AMERICANS
Whole Country Asked to Adopt
Orphanage Menu for Just
One Sunday Dinner.
RELIEF HAS SAVED MILLION
People of All Nations Will Figurative-
Iy Gather Around Same Table as
Practical Sign of Sympathy With
Near East Sufferers.

How many comfortably fed, clothed
and housed Americans will sit down
to Sunday dinner of rice, corn grits
and soup-typical orphan fare-on
December 2, as practical test of the
golden rule?
The question is asked today by
Charles " Vickrey, general secretary
of Near East Relief, who is in charge
of the plans for the general observ-
ance throughout the United States Of
Golden Rule Sunday" In an inter
view, Mr.. Vickrey said:
"If American people will renounce
for one meal the food they are accus-
toned to eat, and contribute the diff
ference in cost to the support of starv-
ing children in the near east, the situ-
alton in Greece, Armenia and Pales-
tine will become infinitely more real
to them.
II have recently returned from sew
eral months in those countries Ameri-
ca is a name to conjure with there.
Bitter reproaches are heard against
nearly every, other country, but none
against us. That is because people
realize that Americans have' gone to
them with a helping hand and
square deal, rather than with the
mailed fist.
America could we'll have afforded
to have spent every penny of her re-
lief funds as long-sighted, cold blood
ed business proposition. The good
will that has resulted from relief
work in the near east IS Of incalcul-
able value. When these orphans we
are caring for today grow to man
hood, they will become the leaders Of
their nations and their eyes will turn
toward America.
"At least a million persons in the
near east would not be alive today had
it not been for American aid. Even
today, 100000 persons are being cared
for day to day by the Near East Re-
lief, mostly women and children who
would probably perish in a few days
or weeks II the work ceased.
Our workers are now concentrat-
ing not only on the physical care Of
our $4,000 orphans, but on their in
dustrial training as we'll. At the age
of 16, when an orphan leaves our
care, he is equipped to enter some
useful trade or business. In Narazeth
there are boys working In our carpen.

education as we'll. The observance
of Golden Rule Sunday by mil.

enough funds for thousands of orphans
"When people break bread together.
they become friends. On this Inter.
national Golden Rule Sunday people
of all nations fguratively will gather
around the same table, partaking OF
the same food representing the menu
which the unfortunate children Of the
near east hope, by the benevolence of
the West, to eat 365 days in the year.
But even this simple menu the or.
phans cannot have unless the rest OF
the world practices the Golden Rule"

AMERICAN FOODS BEST
SAYS FAMOUS DOCTOR

Athens.-American standard food.
stuffs are the best in the world, says
Dr.. Mabel Elliott, famous woman ply.
sician, who for the past two years has
been medical director Of American or.
phanages in the Near East. From the
standpoint OF purity and high food
value, she asserts that NO European
nation can compete with the United
States, and for this reason she insists
on American products in all orphan.

adequately the needs Of undernour-
ished children.

dren in refugee camps and homes,
says:
stable American foods are now
the backbone of all our menus for re.
building children who became weak
and anaemic during the refugee ex.
odus from Asia Minor. Our menus
contain, not only bread made from
American -four, and corn grits in por-
ridge and stews, but also the liberal
use Of corn syrup, American con-
densed milk and American cocoa and
macaroni, thus making a balanced
ration to meet all the scientific re-
quirements as to relative food values,
calories and vttamines.
The favorite orphanage pudding Is
composed of corn grits with cocoa,
sweetened with corn syrup, and made
more nutritious and palatable by add
ing a sauce of American condensed
milk. Such a pudding has high food
value and is very economical-no
other equivalent food value could be
obtained from other foods at twice the
cost. Moreover, It Is so palatable
that children eat it eagerly several
times week, and never seem to tire
of 1t. The American people. in pro-
viding for these parentless children
such pure and wholesome foods from
their own tables. are certainly making
a practical application Of the golden
rule"
DR.. Elliott has recently returned to
America to arrange for the publica-
ton of book Of her experiences I'm.
der the title of Beginning Again at
Ararat."

THE CHILD IN A
HOSTILE WORLD

Considering all the perials, moral
and physical, that children have to
meet, it is a marvel that so many
survive.
The New York Evining Post puts
it this way: Unto what a hostile
world does the little city child in
trude with his happy smile, his de-
sire to play, to run, to shout, and
stretch his muscles vibrant with life
His position is very much like that
Of IN ant in some great power plant
with whirling wheels and roaring
boilers. The ant does not endangcr
any of the wheels, therefore it may
run about, but if it isn't careful it
will be crushed.
Thus many cities and twons turn
their children out into the streets
without adequate play spaces, and
then are shocked when some of them
are killed and injured. 1t turns them
loose to the moral perials Of town
life, and is shocked when some be-
come criminals and others loafers.
If we care for our children, we must
not stint them opportunities for de-
velopment.

THE FOUNDER OF CIVILIZATION

Daniel Webster once remarked
that the farmers are the founders Of
civilization. He pointed out how in
primitive history there always came
a time when the tribes of natives
began to stop getting a living from
hunting and fishing, and began to
establish themselves in one place and
till the soil. When that time came,
civilization begins, and all the ether
arts of modern life follow.
So it remains true that the other
industrial arts can not be prosperous
unless farming is well kept up. 1t
is to the farms that the country looks
for young people having ingenuity
and mechanical skill. They are
country's industrial ability is drawn.

DEMOCRATIC ASPIRATIONS

1t is a fine thing to see ambitious
young men and women who start
out in life with Astounding energy
and untiring zest. There is so much
Incidence and Sinking, that the
folks who have the old spirit that
tanned the wilderness and created
our wonderful country have a touch
of the heroic today.
If you ask these young folks what
their aims in life are, they reply
that they want to become successful
in their occupation, to earn good
pay, to save money, to have n family
and provide a good home for them,
and enjoy reasonable comfort. SO
far, so good.
But it often happens, when a
young man has worked with I'M
divided attention along those lines
for a period of years, that his
thought has become so concentrated
on his own advancement that he has
no interest in other matters. If
a lot of the folks in his home town
are having hard time, suffering
from bad economic conditions, he
may care little or nothing, and feel
no impulse to do anything to help.
If such fellow achieves success,
he will frequently surround himself
with extravangant luxury, associate
only with people who can help him
IN a business way or spend money
as freely as he does. BY and by
ne is likely to find the material
pleasures of life becoming tiresome.
He needs more democratic compan-
ionshipS.
Sush people should resolve that
whatever success they achieve, they
will always cherish democratic ideals,
and that they will never cut them
selves off from the masses of the
people. For every friend they make
who is wealthy and successful. they
should try to keep several Others who
are just plain ordinary every day
toiling folks.
Not merely is this the road to hap
piness, but unless the people who
achieve wealth and success maintain
these democratic ideals, the antag-
onisms between classes will grow like
fostering wounds.

THE MODERN IDEAL
OF ATHLETICS

OF ATHLETICS
It has been the fault Of the ath-
letic sport Of former days, that II
tended to select picked teams who
contended for the mastery, while the
great mass Of people or students just
looked on.
The best athletic development
calls for getting everybody interest
ed in healthful sports. The best re-
suits are not attained in a school,
until every able bodied student is
playing some healthy and develop
ing game.
Every community ought to have
facilities so that all active people
can play athletic games, and shall
find it easy to join some team or
group. Such games as bowling, for
instance, are tremendously useful,
since they induce a lot Of men to
take exercise instead Of watching
others do things.

Ravaaes by Rats.

II has been estimated that the eco
homie loss from rats In the United
States is $200.0O0,000 a year. In other
estimates before the war, the annual
damage In The United Kingdom was
10000 600. AS carrier of bubonic
plague and other diseases the rat Is
charged with the loss of more human
lives than all the wars In history.
