MAKING THE FARM INTERESTING The boy who ha* won a prize for raining 15? bushels of corn on an aero will not leave the farm ana hunt for a job in tiwn. The farm is too Inter estlnr: and the possible returns aro too large. The boy who Uh not win the prize because he only got 75 bußhels of corn from an acre is not at all like ly to hunt for a Job in a store. Corn is being raised by girls, too. And they find it interesting. They are Incited by competitions to show what they can do in the raising of flowers, or fruit, or poultry, all of which hate some advantages for girls over corn culture. All serve the same purpose of awakening the interest of the joung in farm life and suggesting to them possible rewards and teaching them to put Motne Science or hook knowledge and soma.skill into their work. These things make the work worth while. Boys leave the farm where the father makes no effort to give them a per sonal interest ill the work and the boys working every minute for him snd sees no reason why they should occasionally have u day for flKhing or hunting. These fathers do not hove much silence in their work and their returns are usually small, and their sons grow up looking ou furm work as endless drudgery, with no personal interest for them and no reward for them. Ordinarily farm work, which makes no appeal to tlie intellectual faculties, which is hard work and nothing else, which gives the hoy no sense of achievement and no prospect of anything beyond a sub sistence and which does not satiety the Instinctive craving to own some thing. is only drudgery, from which the boy looks forward to the day of escape The agricultural colleges and Ihe ag ricultural periodicals are doing u great deal to Inject Intellectual III* Into farm wort . which is capable of being made SSt!/ more interesting than nine tenthe of the work done in towns. The offer of prizes for the beat acre yf corn, or the fattest pig, or the best field of wheat, Ims aroused tho In terest of thousands of boys unit girls in fsrtn work They have found that they can accomplish results far beyond the average, and this opens up un dreamed of possibilities In farming. They have satisfied the passion to own something for one's self, and to see not only father's crops grow, but their own crops grow. These compe titions. together with agricultural teaching and literature, are turning drudgery Into a profession. The young people are taking an Interest In the selection and testing of seed, and tn the preparation of the ground, and .n the cultivation of the crop which will attach them to the soil, not from ne cessity. bit because It Is Interesting and will give the country in the next generation far larger crops of every thing than it gets now. Recently an agricultura' lecturer urged that a pig be given to each child In a farm family. Give each child an animal or n hen yard, or half an acre of ground, to care f(>r on its own re sponsibility, and the proceeds of which ars to be Ita individual gain, and the procession from the farm to town will b# checked. WHAT THREE CENTS DID. A little boy, about six year* old, rushed Into a store and asked If they kept those stamps that had the picture of Rnnta Pinas on The dtrk said: "Yes my boy, we do; how many would you like to have*" The little hov looked ear nestly Into the clerk’s face snd asked' "How much are th»v*" The clery answered that they were only a cent apiece. The child looked Joyfully around and sstd '*! beard my mother talking about how the money ivas to help the poor slek people that had con sumption. I’ve inly got three cents, but I wanted to help them bv buying stamps."

BY HERBERT N. CASSON, In Associated Advertising. "What is the matter with the United States?" As I have been residing In London since the beginning of the war. J have been hearing this question asked on all sides. 1 have never heard any sat isfactory answer. No one seems to know. Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why are the railroads not opening up new terri tories and getting ready lor the mil lions of Immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war Is over? Why are there not 50 American drummers In London right now, try ing to sell $200,000,000 worth of Amer ican goods In place of the goods that were bought last year from Germany and Austria. Why have advertisers become quit ters, Just at the time when their ad vertisements were: most needed and most effective in cheering on the busi ness forces of the United States? From the European point of view the United Slates Is a haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention to Bel gium or Austria or France or Germany or Hervla or Great Britain or Russia. Every iepth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman Is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trou ble? If I could afford It I would charter the Mauretania and the Lusitania and Why Churches Fail Resently members of a San Fran cisco church federation requested the local Ad Men's Club to investigate and render a report on why the church at tendance was falling off and to explain the reasons for the steadily decreasing financial support afforded these In stitutions, with suggestions as to plans that might operate for an Improvement in this unfortunate state of affairs. The ad club rendered Its export opinion this week, which has caused quite a stir In this vicinity and, Incidentally, has considerably peeved the pastors of several local churches Since the ren dition of the report, the church leaders claim they were bunked, slating that a certain member of the investigating committee was a member of the Christian Science church. However, be this ns It may, these same church lenders will undoubtedly find In the report much to ponder over during the dnrk days. In the first place the ad men’s com mittee, composed of II G. Barkley, Louis A. Colton, Frederic S. Nelson, Arthur J. Brunner and W. P. Russell, after nn eleven-week survey of the sit uation, found too much Invested In building and fixtures for the volume of business, the number of members and average attendance. "Your records show you haven't enough customer* for the size and ex pense of your establishments and that those you do have on your books are only 8 to 27 per rent.’ paying custom ers. and less than that nre repeaters. The gross snlos, your total receipts from all sources, don't pay your run ning expenses, which proves conclu sively that something Is wrong.

You had a chance, perhaps many chances, to make good members of your auditors, hut yau didn’t do it- -they didn't get suflsfac tlon. Isn't it because you are many years behind the times? "From your own figures and the faithful investigation of this coiumit lee none of you nre delivering the goods! You preach generalities of today or ancient theological doctrines. "You tell of the omnipotence of God, but point no way bv which we can, as Ills children, unfailingly draw upon that power for protection or benefit. You know there is a source of power for good, but nre unable to direct us how to got It. As a matter of fact. Five Executed at City ot Mexico Washington.

I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. I would give them a look at real trouble. I would let thr m see trains, ten at a time, "ive minute*; apart, packed with the maimed am the dying.

I would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12,000 square miles of wreckage. Then, when they began to under stand, to some slight extent, the mag nitude and awfulness of this war, I would say to them: "Now go back and appreciate the United—States. Realize your oppor tunities. Don’t start digging trenches when nobody Is firing at you. Don’t fall down when you have not been hit. Don’t be blind to the most glori ous chance you have ever had in your life. "Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build vmir factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you are alive and that your family Is alive, and that you are living in a land that is at peace, at a "time when nearly the w ..ole world Is at war.” you yourselves don’t draw from it, though you tell of its being, otherwise there would be no lack of support to your organization If the tendency of the work is towards God. “You have the greatest proposition on earth, the marketing of spiritual understanding, but you aren’t ac quainted with your stock and haven’t a selling talk.

"Is It not a fact that your church members have not found'the spiritual help they craved, and have not been sided by their ministers in this direc tion to find God? Otherwise there would not be 64 to 94 per cent, of your seats vacant. "Now . how can conditions be Im proved? Will advertising do it? Yes, for a very short time; and then the rocks again. Our association stands for truth In advertising, and while our efforts may be directed by the princi ples of truth, you have failed to bring the message home to the people, and ibis, in our opinion, is the main cause of your non-success.

Stewart Found Guilty in City Court Tuesday of Run ning a Disorderly Place. De fendants Pleading Guilty Were Sentenced. J. A. Stewart proprietor of the Rich mond Social Club, a roadhouse on the new Savannah Road, otherwise known as “The Dip,” was convicted Tuesday before Judge Wm. F. Eve in the city court for keeping a disordely place. The case was begun Monday after noon and finished at 1 p. m. Tuesday. The Jury was out only a short while. Stewart had not been sentenced when court adjourned for lunch until 3:30 p. m. A number of defendants were sent enced by Judge Eve, after they had all plead guilty to the charges against them. The case concerning “The Dip” has attracted a good deal of attention. It will be recalled that it was first brought to tne attention of the grand jury at the last term. Since the case has ben in court a number of city and county officials have been called upon to testify as to the character of the place operated by Stewart. One witness, Geo. Mixon, an old ne gro preacher who lives near “The Dip,” stated on the stand Monday af ternoon that he had never been inside of "The Dip,” but iiad passed by the place a number of times and that he frequently seen men and women, both white and black, inside “raising sand.” As he admitted he had never been in side of the place counsel for the de fense asked that the old negro's tes timony be ruled out, which the court refused to do. Mixon slated that one time some of the frequenters of "The Dip” came ov er to his church and drank whiskey and beer. The old man’s tale was a long-winded one. Pleas of Guilty. The following is a list of the pleas of guilty in the city court Tuesday: Sam Harris, alias “Pop Eye” and Tom Russell, larceny from the house, six months. George Williams, alias George John son, alias “Black Jesus,” and Robin Gannt, larceny from the house, 10 months. Albert Hamlet, larceny from the house, 12 months.

John Henry Woodson also pleaded guilty to attempted hurglsry, hut Woodson was not sentenced. AL. H. WILSON. Al. H. Wilson, the singing German dialect comedian, will visit this city Saturday, matinee and evening, when he will present "When Old New Yo.'k Was Dutch" at the Grand. It never did require much of an ef fort to like Al. H. Wilson, for there is no "high-brow” effort at the social problem in his acting. Possessed of a voice that rings true, he is content to fall in love in the good, old-fashioned way, to sing tho songs that have a touuil of sentiment and to dispense the kind of comedy that keeps iris audi ence in a state of merriment and that sends them on their homeward way feeling all the better for having wit nessed his performance, "When Old New York Was Dutch” is a romance of New York city in the early colonial days when it was known as New Am sterdam. Prolific and appropriate stage settings increase the interest In the performance, which is enhanced *>y the new songs rendered by Mr. Wil son and which include "When 1 First Met ' ou.” "Moon, Moon, Moon,” "When the Roses in Spring Bloom Again, ’ and "Mr. Bear.” 30,000 to Still Remain on Strike St. Louis.
