Rev. David c. Trimble Speaks AT
Cumberland About Rural
Church Problems

Rev. David C. Trimble, of Oakland,
spoke Tuesday at a meeting of the
Emmanuel Episcopal church auXili-
airy in Cumberland on the mission
study, Church Problems in Rural
America"
Rev. Trimble told much about the
work in this county where he has la
bored for eight years among the peo-
pie of four churches-Oakland, Deer
Park, Swanton and Wilson-Altamont,
"The country church is of essential
Importance to the city," he said. "Take
it away and soon there will be no
church in the city as the pastors and
workers come in many instances from
rural districts"
Commenting on parish duties, he
stated that preaching was the small
est part of the work involved: COM
munity interests, agriculture, crops,
forest conservation, stock, home in
terests and even first aid come under
the head of parish duties in rural
community.

SOIL PROGRAM ITEMS ARE
UNCHANGED FOR YEAR 1898
Basis of Maximum Payment The
Same, But Some Rates Are
Different

Items on which the maximum pay
ment to farmers participating in the
1888 agricultural conservation pro-
gram will be based have not been
changed since original announcement
of the program, according to John H.
Carter, county agent, but some of the
rates are different. Changes were
made, he states, in accordance with
the new Farm Acts specific direc-
tons for allocating funds among the
crops.
Among the most significant changes
from the standpoint of number of
farmers affected he points out, is the
provision for increasing payments to
producers on small farms. For pay
ments of $40 or less the increase will
be 40 per cent. The rate of increase
will be reduced as payments are in
creased, but there will be some in
creases for all payments under 5000.
IuG ell ecu VI LIE increase III SIlldll pay
n1ents will be equivalent to an in
crease between 8 and 10 per cent in
the basic rates. The formula in the
new act under which these increases
are made is as follows: Payments to-
falling $40 or less will be increased
40 per cent; $21 to $40 payments will
be increased So plus 20 per cent of
tn excess over $40; SAL to $50 pey-
ments will be increased S12 plus 10
per cent of the excess over $40; SCI
to $186 payments will be increased
SD; S186 to 5000 payments will be in
creased to 5000.
A maximum payment that can be
earned will be determined for each
farm participating in the conserva-
ton program, and every effort will be
made to acquaint each farmer with the
items upon which the maximum pay
ment is based, Mr.. Carter said.

CITIZENS COMPLAIN ABOUT
THE OLD "BOSLEY HOUSE"
Rundown Building On Oak st. Is
Subject of Petition To Council

A petition, bearing the names of
fifty citizens of Oak street and the
vicinity centering thereabout, lodged a
vigorous protest on Monday night
with the Mayor and Town Council at
the meeting of that body, against the
conditions surrounding the old 'Bos-
ley Hotel' property on Oak street. The
petition called attention to the "de-
plorable conditions existing"
Petitioners set forth a number of
objections, including the following:
1. Building in bad need of repair,
both inside and outside.
2. Building was unsafe.
Building constituted fire hazard,
endangering not only occupants but
nearby properties.
4. Living conditions are unsani-
tary.
5. Conditions of the structure de-
tracts from beauty of the town, lowers
values of adjoining properties and
may cause an increase in the insur-
ance rates of that section.
The petition requested the council
to take the necessary steps to correct
this condition. Council instructed Jul
JUS Renninger, city attorney, to con-
tact the State fire marshal and con-
fer about the matter, and also asked
the owner of the property to appear
at a special meeting of council on
March 16. In discussing the matter it
was estimated that there were sixteen
adults and thirty-two children living
in the building at present.
Other Business
Members of council decided to hold
special meeting later to discuss the
new golf course and it's management.
James Spencer, of Kingwood, W. Va,
was at Mondays meeting and gave it
as his opinion that it would be posi-
BILE to open the course to the public on
May 30, if work was started immedi-
ately on the final touches.
Council also approved the towns
financial statement, which appears in
The Republican today.
Joseph H. Herman was granted a
permit to build a dwelling on the
Westlake property located on Eighth
street.
Bills amounting to approximately
LOO were ordered paid.
