THE RURAL
THE FARMERS THE CUSTODIANS
OF THE NATION’S MORALITY
Co-operation of Church School and
Preaa Eiaential to Community
Building
r
By Fetor Radford
Lecturer National Farmere’ Union
The church the presi and the achool
form a triple alliance of progresa that
guides the deatlny of every commun-
ity state and nation Without them
civilization would wither and die and
through them life may attain Ita great-
est blessing power and knowledge1
1 he turners of this nation are greatly
Indebted to this Bocial triumvirate foe
their upliftlug influence and on bebair
of the American plowmen 1 want to
thank those engaged In these blglw
callings for their able and efficient'
service and I shall offer to the press
series of articles on co-operation
between these important Influences
aud the farmers in the hope of In
creasing the efficiency of all by mu-
tual understanding and organized ef-
fort We wlU take up Brat the rural
church
The Farmer Arc Croat Church Build-
era The American farmer la the greatest
church builder the world bss aver
known He la the custodian of the
uatlon'a morality: upon bla shoulders
rests the “ark of the covenant” and
he Is more responsive to religious in
fluences than any other clasa of dt
Uenthlp
The farmera of thla nation have
built 130000 churches at n cost of
$50000040 and the annnal contrtbu
tlon of the nation toward all church
institution approximates $200000000
per annum The fanners of the Uni-
ted States build 21 churches per day
There are 20000000 rural church com
mimlcants on the farm and S4 per
cent of the total membersh'p of all
churches reside In the country
The farm Is the powerhouse of all
progress and the blnhplace of all that
Is noble The Garden of Eden was
in the country and the man who would
get dose to God must first get close
to nature
The Functisna of a Rural Church
If the rural churches today are a
lng to reader a service which this age
demands there must be cooperation
between the religious social and eco-
nomic life of the community
The church to attain Its fullest meas-
ure of success must enrich the lives
of the people In the community It
serves it must build character devel-
op thought and Increase the efficiency '
of human Ufa It must serve the so-
cUL business and Intellectual as Well j
ns the spiritual and moral side of life
If religion does not make a man more
c oiiable more useful and more just
what good Is It? VVe want a practical
religion one we can live by and farm
by as well as die by
Fewer and Better Churches
Blessed Is that rural community
which has but one place of worship
While competition Is the life of trade
it Is death to the rural church and
moral starvation to the community
Peity seclurlnniBm Is a scourge that
blights the life aud the church preju-
dice saps the vitality of many com-
munities An over-churched commun-
ity la a crime against religion a seri-
ous handicap to society and a useless
tax upon agriculture
While denominations are essential
and church pride commendable the
high teaching of universal Christianity
must prevail If the rural church Is to
fulfill Its mission to agriculture
We frequently have three or four
churches In a community which la not
able to adequately support one Small
congregations attend services once a
month and all fail to perform the re-
ligions functions of the community
The division of religious forces and
the breaking Into fragments of moral
efforts Is ofttlmes little less than a
calamity and defeats the very purpose
they seek to promote
The evils of too many churches can
be minimized by’ cooperation The
social and economic life of a rural
community are respective units and
cannot be successfully divided by de-
nominational lines and the churches
can only occupy this Important field
by co-operation and coordination
The efficient country church will
definitely serve Its community by lead-
ing In all worthy efforts at community
building In uniting the people In all
cooperative endeuvors for the gen
era! welfure of the community and ll
arousing a real love for country lift
aud loyalty to the country home and
these results ran only be successfully
accomplished by the united effort ol
the press the school the church and
organized farmera

Obliging Disposition
"Are there any bears la these
woods?" asked the etranger
"Not yet" replied tbe resident "But

sod buy s beer or two Just to satisfy

Motorists should exercise great care
in driving a car particularly an old
one when there ia considerable play
in the driving parts — from the' dutch
through the transmission gears the
universal joints the bevel gears the
drive shafts and dog clutches — for
otherwise a sudden engagement of the
clutch will be liable to cause such a
sharp blow to some part as to permit
it to snap and thus render tbe car
belpleas on the road some miles from
a repair shop
Where this play Is apparent the
clutch should be engaged gently to
permit all slack or lost motion to be
taken up and the parts to be engaged
without snap If one rear wheel is
jacked up and the gears In one speed
engaged with the clutch also In it
will be an easy matter to determine
the amount of play In the system The
wheel should be moved in one direc-
tion until it stops A mark may be
made on the tire and the floor Then
the wheel should be moved in the op-
posite direction and It wlU be found
frequently that the rim of the wheel
has been moved from six to ten lnch-
e whereas in a new car there would
be little if any play
This means that all that must ha
taken up before the power from the
motor reaches the hub of the rear
wheel aud it Is easy to see that a
quick and severe blow such as would
come from a sudden engagement of
the clutch would probably cause some-
thing to give way
It Is not an easy matter to take
out tills play without replacing the
worn parts which naturally Is some-
thing of an expensive job Tbe next
best thing to do is to UBe care In
driving In engaging tbe clutch and in
shifting gears This should alBo be
with care and without any attempt at
a quick getaway for naturally this
means a quick clutch engagement a
rather heavy application of power and
ft consequent hard blow to every worn
part from the motor to the rear
wheels with good prospects of break-
ing aome part
It ia not an expensive repair to fit
the universal joints with new bush-
ings or pins and much of the play be-
tween the bevel gears may be taken
out by careful adjustment of the
thrust bearings Even new cross
drive shafts are not expensive and
when properly fitted in the broached
ends of the bevel gears and driving
dog clutches will remove much of tbe
lost motion
Attempts have been made to "up-
set" or "carbonize" the ends of these
shafts to make them have a closer
fit but either method Is not to be
commended When the end 's to be
upset It Is heated and hammered on
tbe end to fatten it but this method
takes the temper out and If an at-
tempt Is made to retemper the metal
usually shrinks too much Besides
It will not do to have the drive shafts
too hard
Where tbe carbonizing process la
used the parte are also heated and
swelled and then ground down Eith-
er procesa would be more costly than
haring entire new shafts made In
this case It means a lathe job to turn
tbe piece of eteel down to tbe right
dlumeter and then squaring the ends
with a shaper a minor job for a well
equipped abop

NEW PETTICOAT JUST RIGH1
Seem to Ba Just the Thing for Whlol
Women Have Long and Vainly
8ought
Petticoats are a real trial in theei
daya aren’t they? Of course then
are lots of people who don’t weal
one at all and that Is all right in somt
cases but as a general rule the besi
way out of tbe difficulty la the new
garter petticoat
The garter petticoat la really a gar
ter from which depends a full frill ol
rather deep embroidery--' flouncing
Seen through the silt or unbuttoned
seam of your skirt It gives just Un
appearance of a petticoat without thi
bulkiness of one
You will need for each pair of gar
ter frills one and a half yards of em-
broidery flouncing fourteen to sixteen
Inches wide and a yard of narrow
white elastic Cut the flouncing' Into
equal halves and seam up each piece
so as to make a circle of It Turn
in the plain portion at the top to a nar-
row hem run In a piece of elastic that
Just fits your leg and the thing la
done Treat the other half of the ma-
terial In the same way and you will
have the most up to-date of petticoata
at a cost of less than twenty-five cents
