Tho farmora of this nation havo built 120,000 churches at a cost of 1750,000,000, nnd tho annual contribu tion of tho nation townrd all church Institutions approximates 1200,000,000 per annum.

The Function! of a Rural Church. If tho rural churches today nro go ing to rnndor a servlcu which this ago dnmnnds, thoru must bo cooperation butwoeu tho rullclous, social nud ceo nomlo llfo of tho community. Tho church to attulu Its fulleut men euro of success must on rich tho lives of tho peoplo In thu community It servos; It must build character; dnvnl op thought and Incrcumi tho ulllcleucy of human llfo. It must mirvu tho no dal, buslnoss ami lutulloctual, as woll as tho splrltuul and moral sldo of llfo. If religion does not mnko u man moro CApnblo, mora useful and moro just, what good la It? Wo want u practical religion, ouu wo enn llvo by and farm by, as wall as dlo by. Power and Hotter Churches. Illcssod Is that rurul community which hua but olio placo of worship. Whllo competition Is tho llfo of trado, It Is death to thu rurul church and moral starvation to thu community, I'elty sectarianism Is a scourgo that blights thu llfo, ami church preju dice saps tho vitality of many com munlttiMi, An over-churched commun ity la a crlmn against million, n tiort cms handicap to society and a useless tax upon agrlculturo. Whllo doiiomliiutloiiH nro ossuntlul and church prldo commeudublo, tho high teaching of universal ChrUllanlty roust provull It tho rural church Is to fulfill Its mission to itgrlculturo. Wo frequently hnvo three or four churches In n community which la not ablo to adequately support one. Hmull congregations attend wcrvlcos unco a month aud all full to purform tho ro llglous functlonu ot tho community. Tho division of religious forces and tho breaking Into fnigmenls of moral effort Is ofttlmeM little less I tutu n calamity nud defuuta tho very purpose they seek to promote.

RAILROADS WILL HELP Til Common Carrirt Will Co-operate In Marketing Farm Produete Middle Men Charge Higher Rate for Handling Farm Than Factory Products. By Peter Radford. lcturr National Farmers' Union. Tho lending railroad systems of tho nation will establish market bureaus to assist tho farmers along their lines In markstlng their products. Many roads havo acoodod to tho re quest ot the Farmers' Union and an nounced tholr willingness to enter Into active co-oparatlon with tho far mora In marketing their products. Tho express companion have sur voyod tho field and tho Fcdoral Gov ernment, through tho parcel post, has demonstrated tho possibilities ot tho common carrior as a usoful agency ia innrkotlng farm commodities. I consldor tho action of those giant business concerns In determining to co-operato with tho farmers in mar keting tholr crops, to bo the groatent produot of human thought on the Wcstorn homlsphero during tho past year, nnd It domonstrntos that tho educational work ot tho Farmers' Union has brought tho nation to a clearor understanding of tho real problom of tho farmor. To giro Information on marketing Is far moro valuublo than to give ailvlco on productlou, Thoro Is a mu tual Intorest botwoen tho railroads and tho farmor which cannot exist betwoon any othor linos of Industry. Tho railroads aro tho teamstora of agriculture, and thoy aro employed only whon thoro Is somothlng to haul, flood prions will do moro to Increaso tonnngo than any other factor, and railroads want tonnngo. Agrlculturo has many Inherent dis advantages which roqulro combined effort to overcome In marketing. Thoro nro millions of producing units working Independently nnd selling without knowledge of market condi tions, Tho hnrvest Is onco a year, whllo consumption Is pretty even ly distributed throughout tho onttro year, and most ot tho fanners, through custom nnd necosnlty, dump their entire crop on tho market as soon ns It Is gnlherod. Tho problom of orgnuUIng and nystomntlxlng tho markets Is ono In which tho fanners Invito tiHslHtnnca of nil Hues of In dustry friendly to tholr Interests, Farmers Dear the Durden. Tho busluoMi of the manufacturer lends Itself moro nmdlly to orguultn lion and tho facilities for studying tho markets nru moro easily available. Tho result la that tho merchants are com pelled to hnndln most staple manufac tured nrtlcles at vory llttlo profit, and iih n conscquonon tho merchant must look to products which ho buys di rect from tho furtn for hki profits. Tho reports of the Fedoral Depart ment of Agrlculturo show some very 'ntcroHtlng Information and ennblo coinimrlson between tho cost of marketing products of tho form nnd those of tho factory. A tow Items will nerve to lllustrnto tho gunnrnl nin. Tho cost of getting sugar from (ho rollnory to thu cousumur to 9 rents on tho dollur; tho cost ot get ting tobacco from fuctory to con sumer lu 14 cents on the dollar. In oiling n dollar's worth ot eggs tho middleman nets a prollt ot CO cents on thu dollur. In selling a dollar's worth of potutnes, tho middleman million 70 cents on tho dollar; In sell lug it dollar's worth ot fruit, tho middleman gota 84 conts on tho dol lar, nud on cantaloupes 82 contti. I'armors' llulletlu No. G70, published uy tho United Btntes Department of Agriculture. In discussing this subject, said: "Tho high prico paid by consumers ranging from 5 to GOO por cent, In somn cases, moro than tho farmer ro-i-olvos, Indicates that thoro Is plenty of room for lowering tho cost ot farm products to cousumero and at thu samo tlmo largely Increasing the cash Income por farm, without In creasing farm production. This condi tion la undoubtedly a marketing prob lem which will havo to bo solved by bettor organization ot farmora and improved methods ot marketing." Large Shipper Influence Rates. In rnllroud rntoH tho Inequalities nro equally as slurlng. Hate making In Its primitive stages waa largely liilluouced by demands and arguments of largo shippers, but tho farmers wore unorganized and seldom ap peared befora rate-making bodies, and tho burilun of expense In transporta tion lies largely against tho raw products of tho farm. In banking, our socurttles are dis criminated against, as compared with tho products ot tho fuatorico and mines, Tho farmor Is entitled to a squnro deal. Tho farmor Is moro In torosted In good prices und efficient service than bo Is In rates.
