SEPT. 17 1-15 If AAeiiaan bankets and trust companies want to loan the allies a biliioD dollan on British, Freooh and BuBBian bonds, with tha. stipulation that the money is to remain in this oonntiy lor the porobase of farm pro duotsandwar monitions, we should worry. We have the goods to sell, and If the foreign bonds look good to Amerioan investors, why, we sbonld worry again. It's op to the allies to . proteot tbeir oredit in this ooantry. Ouly last week the Amerioan dollar was worth from 8 to 10 per oeut above par. '-'bat is, it was worth from $1.05 to $1.10 in foteign oonotriea. In Eng land in normal times they give yon a poood sterling for a five dollar bill. Last neelt the English poond sterling was worth only $4. DO or $4.55 In the United States. In Franoe tbey give yon five francs for one Amerioan dollar. Now it takes a early sit franos in the United States to tny an Amer ican dollar. Herman money, mea sured by tbe Amerioan dollar, has fallen abont 18 per cent as a resnlt of war oonditioof. Thoa tbe former sit uation baa been reversed. The Euro pean ooontries now bring their money here to bny the Amerioan dollar; we are no lucger sending onr money abroad, For many years tbe Europs nns have bought Amerioan stocks end tonds because tbsy were sore to get Ibe int-rost and Dually tbe prinoipal when due. 'Now onr. Industrial and railroad bonds are tetter than Euro pean government bonds, We are no longer sending American securities to Europe, and tboss wblob Europe hld are being sent over bete as collateral for war loans. Two big railroad cor porations, tbs Pennsylvania and the New York Central, have oleaned op orer a million dollars apieoe In two weeks by bnyiog baok their bonds and paying for tbem In pouuds and fraooa instead of dollars, saving tbe dlfler euoe in tbe rale oxobange.

Main street was never intended for pastnre land anyway. If bumper orops oootinne to bump for a few years more tbe Amerioan farmer will discard his ford and an nex a zeppelin.

Onr Mexioao brothers should not make tbeir raids aoross the border at meal times. It interferes with tbe Amerioan digestion.

This Is not "op to tbe teachers" alone. We may -perform onr own duty in the premises by Extending, lo the Instructors our loyal soppoit and encouragement, both by act and word. We may impress npon the ohlldren tbe necessity and imnortance of absolute obedleooe to tha will of the teauber. Wo may la still Into tbeir yunng minds the know Indue that unless tbey improve tbeir eduoational advantages and opportun ities of today, tbs oommeroial advan tages of tomorrow will pass tbem by. This is a day of education, and the man whose mind has received proper trainlug will be fonnd invnrlubly in tbe ascendant, tilling tbe imporiaut positions of life, aooomolaling the Uu auclal competence whiub tbeir nned- noated brothers seek iu vain. It is vitally nooessary that onr ohildreu of today reoelva every educatlonnl ad Vantage possible to bestow npou tbem and tbis may ouly te accomplished to tbe fullest extent by wotkiug in bar mocy witb botb teauber and pupil, The nrlooe of Wales has definitely deoided that he will uot wed a Her man prlnoess.

The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment, and have",' as a rulo, a vague conception of the meaning of pleasure and recreation. It ia to nil this void in the lives of country youth that the rural church has risen to the necessity of providing entertain ment as well as Instruction to its membership among the young. The children and young people of the church should meet when religion is not even mentioned. It has been found safest for them to meet fre quently under the direction and care of the church. To send them Into the world with no social training exposos them to grave perils and to try to keep them out of the world with no eoclal privileges is Bheer folly. There le a social nature to both old and young, but the v oclal requirements of the young are imperative. The church must provide directly or Indirectly some modern equivalent for the husk ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing ing schools of the old days. In one way or another the social instincts of our young people must have oppor tunity for expression, which may tako the form of clubs, parlies, pic nics or othor forme of amusement. One thing Is certain, and that Ib that the church cannot take awny the dance, the card party and the theater unless it can offer in its place a sat isfying substitute In the form of more pleasing recreation. . Universal Instinct for Play, In providing for enjoyment the church uses one of the greatest meth ods by which human society baa de veloped. Association Is never secure until it is pleasurable; In play the In stinctive aversion of one person for another Is overcome and the social mood la fostered. Flay is the chief educational agency In rural commun ities and in the play-day of human childhood social sympathy and social habits are evolved. As Individuals come together In social gatherings, thnTr viewpoint Is broadened, their Idonls are lifted and finally they con stitute a cultured and refined society. It Ib plain, therefore, that the church which alms at a perfect so ciety must use In a refined and ex alted way the esuentlal factors In eociil evolution and must avail ItRelf of the universal instinct for play, i; the church surrounds Itself with Boclul functions which appeal to the young atnnrg Its membership, It will fill n lr.rjie part of the lamentable pap rural pleasures and will reap tha r'..htft reward by promoting a hi. -her and better type of manhood mul womnnV-rrV SUMMONS.
