li.tti in tiie ranks of the leaders of that i
body before !u> hfld completed his first the j
term. During his second term : i
Democrat* were in the majority in the ■
House, and he was placed on the most j
important committee—the Ways and;
Means Committee -where there was
abundant opportunity for a display of
the qualifications which he possessed. ,
Notwithstanding the fact that lie rep¬
resented one of the largest steel pro¬
ducing districts in the country, he was
selected to write the iron and steel

ft ’ruisc of his course In this matter
Charles M. Schwab, the steel king,
whose. district in Pennsylvania Mr.
Palmer represented, used every effort
to accomplish his defeat, but without
success.
Mr. Painter’s greatest political fight,
however, was within the ranks'of Ills
own party, beoaust it was a fight fm
common ordinary Iccenc.v and honesty
and for ■lean politics. For years the
% Democratic state organization of Penn¬
sylvania had been little more titan an
adjunct and an ally to the Republican
machine dominated by Senator Pen
rosc. Whenever there was an oppnr
tunlty, even in the hide bound Repub¬
lican state of Pennsylvania, to throw
off ;hc Penrose yoke the Republican
Aid Society, which masqueraded under
the name of the Democratic state or
giinization, could be depended upon to
COOK • io the relief of Penrose and sav
him. lint they played the game once
......fieri. At a time when there was a
chance to redeem the state the bi
part iso It machine was invoked and
penrose was given a renewed lease of
life
Tiitm It was that Mr. Palmer, already
,i rising figure in national life and a
pawtM in ids own state, started out to
clean up Ids own party and make it
something more than a wheel in the
Penrose machine. The battle was a

Mr Palmer's own part In the war
was unique and fa ('reaching beyond
tluit of KlUlOSt any civilian. As Alien
Property rustodian, he held a post
who's** duties were without precedent,
in this country at least. In that ca
purity lie built up from nothing an or
gun niioti under whose control there
was hrnughl $800,000,000 of German
fiiirl vust rian owned property jn this
country, all of which under his admin
Istration of the office has become
Americanized and the value of which
is being turned into the United State*

PINK BOLL WORM
COTTON BELT.
The pink boll worm, a worse
of cotton than the boll weevil, has
vanced from Mexico through the
ton Belt an far as Louisiana.
The United States Department
Agriculture has sounded a cry
warning, declaring that a very
situation exists which calls for
closest co-operation between states
tlie government agencies that are
socking to exterminate the peat. A
special appropriation has been asked
of congress.
The appearance of this dreaded cot¬
ton enemy in Louisiana was a great
surprise. Those who were
for its eradication thought that they
had so confined it to a narrow strip in
'exas that it would be an easy measure
to kill it by establishing a non-coiton
gone. A much larger territory must
now he watched and plans are on foot
to (lestfoy the growing cotton crops
wherever It appears, destroying at the
same time the unhatched eggs and the
worms.

RURAL SURVEY UF
VITAL IMPORTANCE
Religious Statistics Are Secured
From County To Be Used By
. Local Churches
HEARTY CO-OPERATION A8KED
Information To Be Gathered In Every
Part Of The County According To
Communities Will Have Large
Significance
Tlit 1 rural survey department of the
Interchureh World Movement hae
been organized to assemble Informa¬
tion and analyze conditions from a
religious standpoint in every county in
the state, according to Judge H. L. An¬
derson, rural survey director for the
state of Georgia, with headquarters at
No. 517 Peters building, Atlanta, Ga.
In order for the churches of a com¬
munity to carry on their work of
evangelizing the territory In which
they are situated and to contribute
their share towards the complete
evangelization of the world, which Is
the ideal in every Christian heart. It
is necessary that the actual condi¬
tions which exist in each county be
discovered. Because of the vital im
portance of this work, the movement
Is calling upon the pastors of all de¬
nominations and others who are in¬
formed relative to religious conditions
to render all the assistance possible
towards the completion of the work.
. This information, after being tabu¬
lated by experts, is taken back to the
counties, where the several Protestant
denominations with churches in the
county co-operatively study it and de¬
cide on the county’s church needs.
Recommendations are made by tb«
county churches of each denomina¬
tion that no desires, to the denomi¬
national home mission, Sunday school
and other boards so that these boards
can co-operate intelligently and effec¬
tively with the local county church
organizations.
The Interchurch World Movement
is attempting to do its work on a
democratic, basis, It is neither dictat
ing nor attempting to dictate to any
church or denomination what shall b«
done. The denominations in each
county must decide unanimously
among themselves on any joint coun¬
ty program for church betterment be¬
fore it is adopted or undertaken with
the co-operation of the Interchurch
World Movement. The survey depart¬
ment is designed to help build tip and
meet the needs or the local churchea
through the local and county denomi¬
national interests.
An interchurch World Movement
survey of a county develops facts as to
the county’s geographical location and
the general character of its agricul¬
tural, commercial and industrial life,
its road system and means of inter¬
communication, public school system
and other educational institutions, wel¬
fare and benevolent institutions, other
organizations and individuals engage
ed in public service for the entire
county.
Accompanying a general survey of
a county is a more detailed survey of
each community, a community being
regarded as a unit of territory and
population characterized by common
economic and social experiences end
interests.
The community survey designates
the outline and location of the com¬
munity on information acquired from
storekeepers, bankers and other in¬
formed persons. Territory not defi¬
nitely included within the limits of
any trade community is considered in
connection with the communities to
which it is contiguous and to which
it is most closely related. Thus uo
area is omitted in the enumeration of
population and oilier statistical in¬
formation. The survey takes account
of the community’s economic condi¬
tions, such as natural resources, chief
sources of income, soil, climate and
market conditions, relations of farm¬
ers and business men, industrial data,
etc. The social life and organizations
of the community. are covered in da
tail, together with other information
to throw light on the state of the so¬
cial mind.
The third link in the survey chain
is the survey of each church in each
community. This sets out the loca¬
tion, denomination, minister, date of
organization, descriptive data as -to
buildings and equipment, membership,
regular and special meetings and tab¬
ulated results therefrom, statistics at*
to area covered by the parish, number
of families reached, parish problems
and other data to give a comprehen¬
sive vision of the parish, and supple¬
mented by information as to the pro- .
gram of work outlined for the church
by the pastor and the official boards.
The triple surveys—county, com¬
munity and church—assemble all in¬
formation that may be needed to aid
the individual churches and denonai
nations in working out their present
problems and future programs of de¬
velopment, so that wasted effort may
be eliminated and unproductive ac¬
tivities of each denomination may ba
transferred to productive fields.
The need of such a systematic study
of church conditions is apparent by
the results of investigation already
made in some sections of the South,
if the churches are to accomplish the
greatest possible amount of good. The
conditions found to exist in some
quarters are rather startling. In one
county in the South, for instance.
there are 44 churches, of which 14
are dead and only 15 of which main
Vn Sunday schools.
